"Your Majesty, this is perfume, extracted from the celestial being. A little spray will keep you fragrant all day long."
"This area is filled with rouge and powder used by women for makeup."
"This is a glassware, this is a water cup, and this is a thermos cup. Pour hot water into it and it will stay warm all day long."
"This is a spotlight. Install it on your palace and the entire palace will be illuminated."
Emperor Wu watched with fascination as Tang Qingxi introduced him to various items. With these items, anyone who heard about them would come to buy one. Emperor Wu could already imagine his own treasury overflowing with gold.
Tang Qingxi saw the emperor's serious expression and thought he didn't want to agree, so he said anxiously, "Well, Your Majesty, just open the palace gates and I'll give you another gift."
Emperor Wu was just imagining that he had hit the Minister of Revenue with gold and made him kneel down and praise Your Majesty's wisdom. When he heard that there was something else, he hurriedly asked, "What is this thing?"
Tang Qingxi said mysteriously: "The mermaid pearl, the one with the human body, fish tail, and tears as pearls."
Isn't it the mermaid pearl that those silly writers like to talk about in their poems? That is the Eastern Pearl. What's so strange about telling the emperor about it? Emperor Wu glared at Tang Qingxi angrily.
Tang Qingxi chuckled: "Of course my mermaid pearl is not the kind you mentioned. It was sold to me by a real mermaid. One of them can easily make you look 20 years younger."
Make your appearance 20 years younger! Emperor Wu first thought of his wife. He fought in the war, and she worked hard to take care of the family and raise money for him. She was three years younger than him, but she was the same age as his mother. He hurriedly asked her, "How much do you have? No need for you to give it to me. I'll buy it."
Tang Qingxi smacked his lips inwardly, seeing that he even used the word "you": "No, I won't sell it. Mermaid pearls are precious and rare. I'll give you 10, no more."
Emperor Wu weighed the pros and cons in his mind and said to Tang Qingxi: "I can open the palace gate, but you can't sell the prescriptions you gave me to others."
Tang Qingxi was delighted to hear this: "No problem, but I still want to sell some food recipes."
Both of them got what they wanted, and Emperor Wu happily presented the mermaid pearl to his wife.
Tang Qingxi borrowed a number of palace maids and eunuchs from Emperor Wu, and used them as sales clerks at times.
The next two days were spent training the palace maids and eunuchs and changing the prices of the goods.
There were 100 palace maids and 100 eunuchs. The palace maids were responsible for selling goods, and the eunuchs were responsible for leading the way. Tang Qingxi took care of their three meals a day. Most of these people were eunuchs and palace maids of the lower class. They ate white rice and fine noodles, and each of them had a water bowl after the meal. They wanted to kowtow to Tang Qingxi on the spot, which scared Tang Qingxi so much that he didn't dare to come near them.
Emperor Wu also sent a royal chef. After reading the recipes Tang Qingxi gave him, the chef seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. His cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. Tang Qingxi and his companions ate so much that they wished they had another stomach.
When Tang Qingxi decided to leave, he looked to see if the imperial chef had any family. If he did, he would not separate the family. If not, he wanted to hire the imperial chef.
Three days later, Emperor Wu of Wei opened the palace gates and issued an imperial edict to the entire country.
"A few days ago, a mysterious light descended from the heavens, and Your Majesty was blessed with an immortal. The immortal, compassionate to the people's suffering, used his immense magical powers to obtain countless items from the Immortal Palace, as well as an immense amount of food, to share with the people."
