"Didn't you say it was a snack? What is this?"
Yinzhen pointed to the tray in front of him and asked, as this was the first time he had ever seen this way of eating.
Geng Youran then told Yinzhen the story of how this dessert came about.
“I think that in addition to being delicious and filling, snacks should also have other benefits. Moreover, snacks don’t necessarily have to be sweet. For example, the taro used in this ‘Crispy Yellow Taro’ has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing deficiency, dispersing nodules and detoxifying. When paired with nuts, the taste is also rich and layered.”
Yinzhen picked up a piece and tasted it; the texture was indeed quite good, and the flavor was unique.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"Oh, this contains Shaoxing wine. I was thinking that it would be more effective if it were sold in combination with other products. Actually, wine would be the best, but it is expensive and not as readily accepted as Shaoxing wine."
Yinzhen nodded, thinking to himself that it was definitely the right decision to let this woman handle the food.
"Okay, write down the instructions and precautions later, and I'll have someone open a trial store for you."
This reminded Geng Youran of the teahouse she had seen in Beijing before.
"Sir, there are quite a few teahouses in the capital now. Why don't we open one too? We can pair our snacks with tea. It would surely be a good business."
Even more useful is that teahouses are frequented by all sorts of people, making them a much better place to gather information than so-called brothels.
Of course, Geng Youran didn't say those words aloud, after all, she was just a concubine and couldn't care less about such things.
Yinzhen actually thought the same thing. With the ongoing conflict between the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince, he probably couldn't remain unaffected.
If we could find out more information through connections, it might be beneficial for him.
"Alright, that's enough for tonight. Let's get settled first, and I'll tell you the rest when I have some ideas."
"yes."
