[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

If he had known that there would be a day of time travel, Wang Shuo must have memorized glass recipes and cement methods, and kept in mind gunpowder recipes and soap craftsmanship.

It took Wang Shuo ten years to find a way to get rich, but in the end he had to try the dishes one by one. No matter how delicious the seafood was, Wang Shuo felt like throwing up now just smelling it.

The chefs are very skilled in their craftsmanship. They quickly solved the problem of fishy smell and made the seafood more delicious and attractive.

"Whether something is good or not is second, the key is that people like it." Xue Hong hit the point.

"Then I have to find a way to make the old men like it first, and then the people below will follow suit." Wang Shuo nodded. It is a good way to use the popularity of the upper class to drive the fashion of the middle and lower classes.Just like the Chongqing Xiashui hot pot in the past, it was only the food of poor dock workers, and later it became popular all over the country.

"It's cheap for you to do. Your family is the most talked-about place in Guangdong." Xue Hongdao, this is also the reason why he did everything possible to build relationships with noble people, not just seeking asylum, but also thinking about "advertisement" Effect", although he may not know the word yet.

"The easiest way is to hold a banquet, mainly seafood, and just ask my father to agree..." Wang Shuo frowned, hesitantly, if someone is allergic to seafood, it would be fatal, and the operation is not small.

"Done?" Xue Hong didn't care about these, as long as he found difficulties, he could overcome them.

"Done!" Wang Shuo decided.The two have similar temperaments, and they survived because they gambled at the beginning. Now that they do it, they will have new ways of making money, for sure!

Wang Shuo discussed the banquet with Xue Hong confidently, but he encountered strong resistance on the first matter - persuading Wang Shouzhong.

"Nonsense, how come the food is on the table!" Wang Shouzhong categorically refused. The navy he trained recently had a hard fight with pirates, and he launched the navy that had been lurking for a long time, shocking everyone.The letter to His Majesty has been approved, and the eunuch who delivered the decree is already on the way. The Wang family has sent news from the capital. This time, Wang Shouzhong is likely to be made a viscount, and he will be in charge of the four major customs offices of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and in charge of all the ministers. The submission of offerings by the vassal state can be regarded as the first pass of the Lifan Academy along the coast.Such a position is similar to the Salt Administration, with low rank and heavy authority, and it is incompetent for non-emperor confidants. What does it matter if the rank is not high now?He will be transferred back to Beijing in the future, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner.How could Wang Shuo be allowed to mess around on such an important day.

"Why did I mess around? Seafood is a good way for fishermen to support their families. If more people can accept fish, shrimp and crab claws, then fishermen will have more income. At that time, it will be dad who loves the people like a son and cares about the achievements of civil affairs. Ah!" Wang Shuo's mouth was full of skills, and Shang Gang went online.

"Come on, your father won't take this." Wang Shouzhong held his teacup and turned his head to one side, proving with his own body that he would never agree. No matter how coquettish Wang Shuo was, it was useless.

The princess saw that the two of you were like children, and felt amused. He pulled Wang Shuo over and said, "Suo'er, mother thinks what you said makes sense. If you want to hold a banquet, why don't mother give you an excuse. A letter was sent from Beijing saying that you The eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, and she should have given birth by now, and the good news is definitely on the way. If you, an aunt, hold a blessing banquet for your nephew, wouldn’t the celebration banquet also push out the seafood to benefit the fishermen?"

"The blessing banquet is too small, and not everyone can come." Wang Shuo was dissatisfied. This event was also too small to achieve the sensational effect she wanted.

"Why are you so young? You are a small person. It's the right time to hold a blessing banquet for your nephew." Wang Shuo was coaxed.

"I have to think about it first." When Wang Shuo said this, it meant that she had listened to the princess's words and was thinking about realizing the possibility!The princess who knew her knew it too.

After finally persuading Wang Shuo away, Wang Shouzhong put down his teacup and sighed, "What a stubborn girl!"

"It's not because you are used to it. Let her practice martial arts and ride horses all day long, and her temper is used to wildness. If I don't put a bridle on this wild horse, I won't be able to control it anymore." The princess complained with a smile.

"Where can it be a wild horse? The daughter of the princess is naturally dignified and noble, with extraordinary appearance. Take your time, take your time." Wang Shouzhong quickly stopped talking, and the task of raising Wang Shuo must not be pushed to him.

The last time the princess had no choice but to take Wang Shuo and temporarily handed over the discipline to Wang Shouzhong. As a result, Wang Shuo pestered Wang Shouzhong to put her 28 stars on a splint.When encountering a small group of enemies, the little ladies would copy the guys and go up. Wang Shuo took the lead and was more active than her father. In that battle, Wang Shouzhong's soldiers could not compare, let alone the hostile pirates, they were on their side The men were all terrified, these little ladies have a slightly higher force value!Going to sea with Wang Shouzhong is also the guard of the princess, that is, the father of those little ladies. Seeing his daughter is so tough, he worries in his heart, how can he get married!I believe that Wang Shouzhong and them have a common language.

"I will shirk it!" The princess gave him a blank look, knowing that he would repay his son by teaching/teaching him, and that his daughter was completely fine, so he didn't say much, thinking to write to his close friend Aunt Kong and ask Wang Shuo about this How to deal with the situation.Wang Shuo and her Master Kong have a very good relationship, and they often correspond with each other from thousands of miles away. When writing home letters to Beijing, he also brings a copy to his master. Rare clothes, food, books, pens and inks in Guangdong are often sent to Aunt Kong. home delivery.

"By the way, look at that Xue Hong, he and Shuo girl are too close, maybe he came up with the idea of ​​eating seafood, let Shuo girl take the lead. She is still young, don't be fooled by this Merchants have been led astray." The princess spoke of the word "merchants" in such a contemptuous tone, which can be called acrimonious, what she was most afraid of was that Wang Shuo was getting older and older, and if she pinned her little daughter's love on Xue Hong , then she will die!Xue Hong is not a good match!

Wang Shouzhong nodded, and said: "Don't worry, princess, I know Xue Hong well, just watch, I won't let him spoil my daughter."

........................

A merchant and the spoiled Wang Shuo are discussing seafood plans at Lingxiu Villa!

"Blessing banquet, this name is not bad." Xue Hong affirmed.

"Do you think it's feasible?" Wang Shuo was afraid that this big businessman whose business spread all over the country would look down on him.

"It's feasible. Don't rich families give porridge and rice when they have babies on weekdays? There is a lot of seafood in Guangdong, so it should be free seafood, set up on the stove on the spot, and give it to those who come to pick it up for free. Once it’s ready, deliver it to your door, and you must ensure the timeliness and taste. Even if you try it to save face, you will be attracted by the taste of seafood. There are not many people like this. If you have three or five to help endorse, you still worry about whether you can take it with you. Is this trend starting?" Xue Hong asked thinking about the bright future.

"Then what if someone is allergic to seafood?" Wang Shuo is most concerned about safety issues. In case of illness or even death, no one cares about seafood.

"allergy?"

"It's just that some people are not used to it. After eating it, they have stomach pains, dizziness, bumps, and hives." Wang Shuo still explained what allergies are.

"Almost all the officials here are locals, and there is no allergy." Xue Hong waved his hand.

"Our family is not." Wang Shuo said blackly. When she first came to Guangdong, she couldn't even understand the words. Thanks to her basic knowledge of Cantonese songs, she started to learn after stumbling. Later, she spent a long time in the market, bargaining, watching Lively, she has practiced her words, and she can understand and speak any dialect.So far, the princess has always said that she can't understand the "nonsense" of the locals, which shows that there is a big difference.

"Can you stop being picky?" Xue Hong rolled his eyes and said.

"I have a long-term vision. Let me tell you, the father-in-law who passed the decree in Beijing will come soon. If the blessing banquet is effective, I will recommend seafood to the father-in-law who passed the decree. I will persuade my mother to buy some for your majesty." , It will really be popular all over the country at that time! If the problem of allergies is not solved, how can it be promoted!" Wang Shuo said anxiously.

"Okay, okay, okay, you make sense. How about you take care of the banquet and I take care of allergies?"

"The banquet is so complicated, everything has to be done from the beginning, I can't be too busy, you have to do it too!" Wang Shuo was dissatisfied, and it wasn't her business alone, so why not.

"I have other things to do!"

"Running around to Lingxiu Villa every day, I don't see where you are busy?" Wang Shuo rolled his eyes and said.

"Grandma, you have already said that my family has a great business. I am taking care of the Xue family's property in Jinling. You can't throw away all the past for the sake of new money." Handed over to Wang Shuo.

After Xue Hong left the gate of Lingxiu Villa, he ordered his subordinates to inquire about Wang Shouzhong's promotion, and delivered a decree about his father-in-law's coming to Guangdong. He secretly rejoiced that Wang Shuo didn't find anything wrong with his excuse.

Wang Shuo went back to the palace at night, and told the princess what happened today, and said: "Xue Hong really has a problem, today I casually mentioned that the father-in-law is coming, and he made excuses to slip away, you and father should be careful of his tricks. ah."

"Don't worry, it's okay." The princess is no longer worried that Xue Hong will spoil Wang Shuo. With Wang Shuo's attitude, whoever spoils who, who doesn't trust whom, just say nothing!
