Emperor Hui sat up straight, picked up the tea on the table and cleared his mouth, then said: "Miss Lin, I have something else to discuss with you today. Can you send some of the mooncakes you sell to the palace every year?"
Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then immediately became ecstatic. This was a big order! She had to take it!
"Sure! How much do we need?"
Emperor Hui touched the ring on his thumb and chuckled: "Miss Lin, don't rush to accept it. Think about it carefully first. If you send it to the palace, you won't be able to sell many of these products. The palace will definitely be given priority."
Huh? She was sent to the palace but she was not allowed to sell it? Are you so overbearing?
"What about making some other kinds? Can we send something different to the palace than what's sold in the shop?"
"How many types have you made in total?" Emperor Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
"There are a lot of them. There are sweet ones, salty ones, sweet and salty ones, with a lot of fillings, steamed, baked, and crispy. If you change the styles, there must be at least thirty or forty kinds!"
"Wow! There are so many?" Eunuch Cao couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes!" After thinking for a while, she asked, "Sir, how about this? I will send the best batch to the palace every year, not only the taste but also the appearance, and the shop will not sell the same ones, but will sell completely different ones from the palace, so that everyone can eat them. Is that okay?"
Emperor Hui laughed and pointed at her and said to Eunuch Cao: "Hahaha, look at this! This little girl is really greedy!"
Eunuch Cao sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, this girl probably hasn't understood it yet!"
"Haha, that's enough! That's it! Miss Lin, can you still do this this year? Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days, and there will be a banquet in the palace this year, so we will need more."
"Yes!" Lin Wanwan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely make it and send it to you before Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then!"
Lin Wanwan laughed and joked that she would definitely agree to such a show-off event, and she would have to finish it even if she had to stay up at night for the next two days!
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she went downstairs and went to the kitchen to prepare some things to bring back to them. Two large boxes of mooncakes, two jars of Zuixian, and various flower wines and snacks.
Emperor Hui was hesitant and wanted to stay a little longer, but Eunuch Cao kept urging him: "Oh, Your Majesty, we really have to go! If we don't go back, we'll be discovered! You still have a lot of memorials to approve!"
"Tsk!" Emperor Hui rubbed his head and said impatiently: "I get a headache just looking at that pile of memorials! Didn't I tell them that I was taking a nap? Who would go back to disturb me? I finally have some peace and quiet, and I haven't had enough!"
"Your Majesty, please consider the overall situation first! The officials involved are still waiting for your decision!"
"What the hell is the point of making a decision! Let them get out of here right away, thinking that there is no one in the court who can do it! Most of my good officials are involved in this, and some of them have earned hundreds of thousands of taels in just one year! They don't have to do anything every day, but a lot of money comes into their accounts. They are sucking the blood of the people! I am so disappointed..."
"Alas, Your Majesty, don't be angry. You should take care of your health first! There are still many young talents in the court. If you really can't find one, you can hold another special examination next year."
"This Jiang Ning is really capable of making trouble. He has removed so many officials from their posts at once. The treasury is full, but there is not enough manpower! I was caught off guard..."
"Then the remaining people..."
Emperor Hui shook his hands and sighed, "Let's just leave them alone for another two years. The prince is still young and needs their support. When he grows stronger, let him solve the problem himself. I don't need to rush to take action. But the prince's uncle has become more and more unrestrained in the past two years, and his two sons are also very rampant. If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later. Then the queen mother will be estranged from me. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to give him a good beating."
"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first..."
He glared at Eunuch Cao and slammed the table and stood up: "Fuck you! You just keep urging me! I finally came out to relax, but you ruined my good mood!"
So, he went downstairs with Eunuch Cao, said hello to Lin Wanwan, took the things she had given him, and returned to the palace.
Li Yuying suddenly grabbed Lin Wanwan and stuffed a purse into her hand.
Lin Wanwan didn't understand what was going on, so at Sister Yuying's suggestion, she opened the purse and took a look. Inside was a bag of gold leaves!
She hurriedly grabbed it with her hands, "Where did this come from?"
Li Yuying pointed her finger at it and said, "That person left it when we were cleaning the room! Oh, he's really good at it! Pay the bill to Jin Ye Zi!"
Lin Wanwan put the gold leaves away and said to her: "Sister-in-law, we will be very busy these two days! That person specifically asked for mooncakes! Let Baiweiju send a batch to the palace every year in the future!"
"What? There's such a thing? Oh, this is a big deal, are you going to give it this year?"
"Yes, I will study the styles first, and then I will sell them after I have sorted them out. If they come to buy, just tell them they are sold out and we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay, then you have to hurry up, there are less than two days left!"
"Well, I know."
She asked 857 to make a new batch of mooncake molds and reselected the fillings before finalizing them.
All the manpower was dispatched over and a day-and-night battle mode began, with everyone working in full swing.
Finally, on the morning of August 15th, a carriage filled with mooncakes drove into the palace. She also put in some special pastries to boost the reputation of Baiweiju.
After finishing their work, she rewarded each person who made mooncakes with ten taels of silver and let them all go back to sleep.
"Sister-in-law, has anyone booked a banquet today?" Lin Wanwan asked with big dark circles under her eyes.
