Chapter 496 How about we three share a family tree?
On the same day, Xiyan delivered a farewell letter to Emperor Beili and arrived in Beijing seven days later.
Emperor Beili has been searching for over a month but still hasn't found any trace of Xifengying. He couldn't help but wonder if Xifengying had left Kyoto City that day. Although it's a bit outrageous, it's the easiest explanation.
After all, the city of Kyoto has been overturned several times. Even an ant that has been hiding for so long would come out to look for food. There has been no movement for more than a month, and the city gate is surprisingly quiet.
The Western Yan Embassy was also guarded for many days, but no suspicious person was found.
They know best whether the embassy has a hiding place.
Princess Xiyan is taking care of her health and is unable to come to Beili. Beili has no reason to force the Xiyan envoys to return home. If they are forced to stay, it will probably arouse Xiyan's suspicion.
He immediately approved Xi Yan's departure and gave him the customs clearance documents.
So many things were lost from Concubine Yuan's bedroom, and the thief could not be found. Every time Concubine Yuan saw her palace empty, she would have a severe headache.
Yuan Yintang received letters many times, and he walked all over the area within a hundred miles, but still did not find the poisonous insect.
If the other party is not a master of poisonous insects, then he must not be a human, but a ghost or monster.
Concubine Yuan was very afraid of ghosts and was often awakened by nightmares. She even had to live in her own palace and cried and begged the emperor to change her palace.
May 22
The Gu family thoroughly counted out their property and divided up the family. The amount of property accumulated by the Gu family over generations was astonishing. Even Emperor Beili was unable to react for a long time after hearing it.
I knew that the Gu family was rich, but I didn't expect that their assets were equivalent to two treasuries of Beili.
With so much money, wouldn't it be easy to recruit soldiers and rebel?
Emperor Beili became more wary of the Gu family and also became concerned about their wealth. The national treasury was currently seriously short of funds. If the Gu family's assets filled up the national treasury...
On second thought, with so many descendants in the Gu family, it seems that there won't be much left in their hands if they are divided according to the number.
There are dozens of direct descendants of the Gu family, and each of them has inherited tens of millions of assets, which is enough for an ordinary person to live for dozens of lifetimes.
Mr. Gu only kept a small portion of his wealth and two shops in Kyoto City for his retirement, and the rest was divided clearly among the people without any bias.
The money was divided equally, and the shops drew lots. Even if a bad number was drawn, no one dared to say anything with so many officials witnessing.
General's Mansion, Yuehua Cottage
Ye Qianning was also surprised to know the amount of property that the Gu family had received. The tens of millions of assets nowadays are equivalent to hundreds of millions in modern times, and every family member is a wealthy person.
"The Gu family is so rich." Mudan was handling the fish in her hand and looked up in surprise when she heard the report.
"How can it be a big squeeze on several generations of industry? It's a pity that their family didn't count their money carefully." Ye Qianning held the recipe without raising his head.
"how?"
"Who wouldn't be envious of so much money? The Gu family has so many people, so it won't be noticeable if everyone gets a share." If they don't divide the money, and so much is liquidated, the Gu family will collapse within a few years.
If the national treasury is full, who wouldn’t want ideas if they are short of money?
"Even the little kid can get a share. It's really a loss for Boss Gu to leave the clan." Mudan shook her head.
Ye Qianning smiled faintly and said nothing. Gu Shuo himself also had some shops. Most of the money he earned from taking over the royal merchant went into the royal family, and a small part went into his own pocket.
His value won't be low.
Each person is only worth tens of millions, but in the future his potential will be worth more than tens of millions.
"Auntie, you remember all these recipes, right?"
"I remember. I didn't expect there are so many ways to prepare seafood. If I use these to open a restaurant, it will definitely be more popular than Xianrenzui."
"What's the point of Immortal Drunk? I'm afraid even the imperial chef in the palace can't make it."
"Fat Tuan said that the seafood in Nanyuan is better than that in Beili. I really want to try the seafood in Nanyuan."
"I think so too. The dishes made by Beili Aquatic Products are all excellent, not to mention the fish from the South China Sea."
The aunts who were processing seafood all expressed their opinions.
"Just wait a little longer and your aunt will be able to satisfy her craving." Ye Qianning spent almost half a month teaching his aunt how to make all kinds of seafood meals.
Beili's seafood tastes great too. Once Nanyuan's seafood comes out, it will definitely become a dark horse in the food world.
"I never thought that conchs could be eaten." Huaihua has been constantly refreshing her concept of food these days.
She, who doesn't eat fish, actually thought everything was delicious, especially the conch. She has become addicted to eating conchs recently.
"There are many more ways to cook snails. Auntie, try sea urchin later. You didn't get to eat it last time."
"I can't eat something black."
"It's delicious, tastes great. If you don't believe me, try it when this pot comes out." Shaoyao highly recommends it.
"Okay."
Ye Qianning chuckled and put the recipe on the table. People in the mansion have been eating seafood every day recently, which would still be delicious in modern times.
In ancient times, seafood was very simple, steamed, fried, stir-fried, and made into soup. Even top chefs did not have a complete range of seasonings, so the best taste was just that.
The most important thing is the ingredients and the quality of the fish and aquatic products. The quality of the meat in different sea areas is different. The South China Sea is the largest sea area on this continent.
This is also the place with the most fish. The most expensive fish that need to be airlifted in modern times can be found everywhere in the South China Sea.
There are huge differences between fish and fish. Rare fish were one of the reasons why she asked Gu Shuo to do business.
Nanyuan’s unique product will generate a huge income in the future.
"Miss, Boss Gu is here." The housekeeper walked into the yard.
"good."
The housekeeper glanced at the small kitchen several times. The aroma was so fragrant and the taste was so tempting.
"Grandpa Li, you must be greedy." Ye Qianning joked.
The housekeeper looked away and scratched his head awkwardly: "Not only is the food in our house getting better and better, but I've also been eating seafood a few times recently, and my mouth is almost getting picky."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Li, everyone in the mansion will have a share today."
"Really?" The housekeeper's eyes sparkled. "I have to say, the seafood we cook here is absolutely unique in the world. My hometown is also by the sea, and I've never tasted fish and shrimp this delicious."
"There are some new products today. Grandpa Li, please remember to comment after you try them."
"What else is there to comment on? It's absolutely delicious." The butler became more and more greedy as he spoke.
Ye Qianning smiled, found a handkerchief to wipe the fishy smell off his hands, and walked out of Yuehua Cottage.
Today, I specially invited Gu Shuo to taste the seafood collection. She taught my aunt a total of 88 seafood and fish recipes. In fact, there are many more, and I will teach you slowly later. Some of the seasoned cheeses took many attempts to make.
Seafood plus cheese is definitely the ultimate way to shock your taste buds.
In the lobby
Zhan Chi and Gu Shuo sat opposite each other. After returning home for nearly half a month, they also found some ways and planned to build a particularly large restaurant on the border of Nanyuan.
The restaurant is located close to Beili, and restaurant specialties will also be built near Dongli and Xiyan.
They also drew some of Nan Yuan's plans on rice paper and brought them today for Ye Qianning to see.
In just half a month, Zhan Chi began to look at Gu Shuo with new respect.
