Help! The General’s Gone Mad With Pampering Me

  Chapter 56 Going to the Kitchen

  Dai Menghe was the governor of Yuqiang Prefecture in the Western Regions. Yuqiang Prefecture and Liangzhou faced each other across the border between the two countries, almost close to each other.

  Da Duhu is the highest local chief executive, responsible for protecting the border and securing the soil, ensuring the orderly development of the local economy, and ensuring that there is no internal worries and no external disturbances.

  Everyone knows that the Western Regions are closed to the outside world, and they seldom make good friends with foreign countries, but they don't know that someone has found a breakthrough.

   This person is Si Yan.

  The Western Regions and the Great Zou Kingdom are very different in terms of climate and soil, which also leads to a great difference in the crops grown. Moreover, there is an inland river in the Western Regions, and gemstones are abundant along the river.

  Whether it's rare vegetables and fruits, or gemstones that people can't take their eyes off at first glance, they all have huge sales potential in the Dazou market.

  Si Yan entered the camp at the age of ten, and he had a vicious vision at a young age, and he immediately saw that it was profitable

  He reported to the emperor at that time, and then with Zou Yuan's tacit approval, he set up a small caravan to resell goods near the border.

   Later, after the business model took shape, Zou Yuan got through secretly, and gradually introduced the business into Zou State.

  Speaking of which, the hot Shu brocade sold in the capital is imported by their caravan.

   But in fact, making money is not the main purpose. The emperor without foundation needs to consolidate his position. There are no permanent friends between countries, but there are permanent interests.

  This time on behalf of Menghe, he came here to discuss the specific matters of the trade route between the two countries.

   After taking this step, Zou Yuan had a little more hope of victory in the game with the Queen Mother, and increased his weight.

   Back then, Zou Yuan just looked at Si Yan in pity and pointed him to a clear path. At that time, he never thought that Si Yan would bring him such a great help.

  Si Yan checked with Dai Menghe again what he had discussed with the emperor before.

  In addition, Si Yan also took out an envelope, which contained the customs clearance documents needed by the entire caravan, and a pre-made route map.

  Although Dai Menghe had cooperated with Si Yan a long time ago, and knew that he handled things cleanly, he couldn't help being amazed at this moment.

   "General Si, don't worry about handling things. The Holy Majesty has a subject like you, it's like adding wings to a tiger."

  Si Yan: "Don't dare to be, it's just the duty of a courtier."

  …

  Si Yan's side is still discussing state affairs, and Shen Li's side is also very busy.

   This is not just talking, it is really a fire!

  The smoke billowed in the kitchen, almost blackening people, and sparks kept coming out of the stove.

  Shen Li's Long March is stuck at the first step: lighting a fire.

   "Ahem, Miss, did we do something wrong?"

  Shen Li raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, with a puzzled expression on her face.

   "It shouldn't be, I remember it's just a layer of wood and a layer of grass, why can't it light up."

   To be honest, Shen Li's cooking skills are really good. She used to work and study in a restaurant. If she hadn't been discovered by scouts and entered the entertainment industry, she might really be able to become a chef.

  However, she used to use gas stoves, and she had never seen this kind of stove.

  The cook in the mansion saw the black smoke and hurried over.

  Yao Caifeng was carrying a bucket of water, thinking that something was on fire, but when she got closer, she turned out to be the new wife who just passed the door yesterday.

   She looked stunned.

   "Big lady, why are you here?"

  Shen Li showed embarrassment.

   "I...I want to make something, why can't I light a fire."

  Yao Caifeng was surprised, Rao has lived for so many years, and she has never seen a newlywed go to the kitchen the next day.
