Yun Duoduo asked her, and Jin Zhuangzhuang became even more smug upon hearing this. She took out a small white bottle: "These poisons can all be cured with this antidote!"
Yun Duoduo was slightly taken aback. From the poisons she had just seen, she could deduce that the ingredients of these poisons were different.
Jin Zhuangzhuang said that the antidote water could cure more than a dozen kinds of poisons, which really shocked her.
"Wow, our Zhuangzhuang is really amazing!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang raised his head and made a "that's right" expression.
"Alright, hurry up and pack it up, don't get it on yourself!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang packed the bottles and jars she had brought into the empty box.
After the three of them finished packing, they left the side hall, locked the door, and departed.
Yun Duoduo was about to go back to her bedroom to sleep for a while when she suddenly heard shouts coming from the palace gate.
"Duoduo!"
Yun Duoduo turned around and saw that the person who came was the Third Prince, Yun Yishu.
"Third brother?"
"Duoduo, look what your brother brought you!"
Yun Duoduo held up the food box she was carrying: "These are some new dishes, come on, have a taste."
Since Yun Yishu decided to open a breakfast shop, he has had his staff prepare all kinds of dishes. Whenever there are new dishes, he will bring them to Yun Duoduo to try.
When Yun Yishu saw Jin Zhuangzhuang there, she waved to her and said, "Come on, silly girl, oh no, princess, come and have a taste too."
Jin Zhuangzhuang rolled his eyes in annoyance when he heard him call him a little idiot.
"Try it, it's a new dish!" Seeing Jin Zhuangzhuang standing still, Yun Yishu called out again.
Jin Zhuangzhuang has been busy improving his poison these past few days and hasn't really been eating properly.
At this moment, the aroma of the food in the food box was very tempting. Jin Zhuangzhuang swallowed and followed Yun Yishu into the front hall.
Stone took out a beggar's chicken from the food box. It was wrapped in mud and lotus leaves.
"Wow, this is really something new."
Yun Duoduo has never eaten beggar's chicken before; she has only seen it in storybooks.
She used the base of her chopsticks to tap away the soil and saw a plump, steaming brown beggar's chicken inside. As soon as she opened the lotus leaf, a rich aroma of chicken wafted out.
She picked up a piece of chicken, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"It smells so good!"
"This beggar's chicken is so tender and juicy, even the bones are soft."
Yun Duoduo was very satisfied with the food that Yun Yishu brought this time.
"Third brother, the chefs in your palace have improved their skills quite a bit!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang couldn't wait to grab a chicken leg and start eating. As soon as she took a bite, she felt her body and mind were elevated.
"It's delicious!"
Yun Yishu was quite pleased with the compliments, and he said with a smile, "Since you like it, I'll have Shitou deliver the vegetables often!"
...
Three days later, Yun Yibo's book officially went on sale in Nanyang bookstores.
To attract customers to buy books, the bookstore set off firecrackers as soon as it opened.
The firecrackers were set off for a short while, and then several refined scholars and literati came out of the bookstore and recited poems at the entrance, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
The elegant old gentleman with gray hair and the spirited young scholars recited poems back and forth, attracting many literati to join in.
The number of people at the bookstore entrance was increasing.
"This shopkeeper has quite a novel approach; he's come up with such a unique way to attract people," a passerby remarked in amazement.
Guan Guan's father was wearing a dark red long gown, with a jade belt around his waist, a money bag hanging from his waist, and a brush in his hand, writing and drawing on paper.
He invited the guests who entered the bookstore to appreciate the paintings together, while the family members who came in with the guests browsed around the bookstore.
"Look at this storybook, it's quite interesting."
"Buy two copies, take them back for my little sister to read too."
"good!"
"Shopkeeper, ten taels and five hundred cash!"
Guests came and went, selecting books and storybooks.
"Shopkeeper, a copy of 'Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes'!"
"Thank you, sir. Please take care. We're having a poetry recitation event at our bookstore the day after tomorrow. You must come and grace us with your presence!"
The shopkeeper smiled and escorted out a distinguished-looking young man.
A poetry recitation competition?
The young man said in surprise, "Oh, there are such interesting activities! I must come!"
A well-dressed, elegantly adorned mother and daughter entered the bookstore, picked up a storybook, and started reading. After a while, they suddenly went to the door and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, this storybook isn't finished yet?"
Did Young Master Lin eventually marry Miss Sheng?
The younger girl asked, her tone very anxious.
"Don't worry, young lady. The story has already been written, but the illustrator is still working hard to draw the illustrations."
The bookstore owner said softly, "It seems you two have good taste. This is an excellent book. Where do you live, young lady? We'll send it to you when the book arrives!"
"Oh, that's great! We're from the Liu family on Peach Blossom Street. You're bringing us the book as soon as it's published. We'll definitely give you a generous reward." The two said happily.
"Don't worry, I've remembered. The painter will send the painting to you as soon as it's finished at the Liu residence on Peach Blossom Street!"
More and more people came and went, most of them wearing long robes. They mostly bought books such as "Important News of the Capital", "Early News of the Capital", "Comprehensive Guide to the Capital", "Law", "Criminal Law", and "Collection of Poems", and spoke in classical Chinese.
There were daughters of officials and noblewomen from prominent families dressed in embroidered skirts and adorned with jewels and jade. They mostly bought books like "The Prince Fell in Love with Me," "Journey to the East," and "Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes." After buying them, they would look around and hide the books in their bosoms or sleeves, afraid that others would see them.
There were also burly men dressed in coarse cloth and black robes, who mostly bought books like "Heroes of the Jianghu," "The Clever Capture of Dafu Mountain," and "The Conquest of Gujian Ridge." They paid very readily without haggling.
Suddenly a commotion erupted, "I saw this book first!"
"You're talking nonsense! I clearly took it in my hand first!"
"I saw this book when I came in and was about to take it, but you insisted on snatching it!"
A woman, dressed in gold and silver, wearing a bright red gauze robe embroidered with peonies in gold thread, with fair skin and a slightly plump figure, pointed at a man beside her and cursed, "Hmph, looking at you dressed so well, I thought you were a refined scholar, but I didn't expect you to be so petty and narrow-minded!"
"I clearly saw the book first, but you insisted on taking it from me!"
"I'm just a weak woman, and you, a grown man, have no sense of chivalry!"
The fat woman, who usually had a very loud voice, suddenly sounded like she was about to cry.
