Chapter 56: Going to the Kitchen
Chapter 56 Going to the Kitchen
Dai Menghe was the protector of Yuqiang Prefecture in the Western Regions. Yuqiang Prefecture and Liang Prefecture faced each other across the border between the two countries, almost right next to each other.
The Daduhu is the highest local chief executive, responsible for protecting the environment, ensuring the orderly development of the local economy, and ensuring that there are no internal worries or external disturbances.
Everyone knows that the Western Region is closed to the outside world and rarely has good relations with foreign countries, but no one knows that someone has found a breakthrough.
This person is Si Yan.
The climate and soil are very different between the Western Regions and Dazou Kingdom, which leads to very different crops. Moreover, there is an inland river in the Western Regions, and the riverside is rich in gems.
Whether it is exotic vegetables and fruits or gems that make people unable to take their eyes away from them, they all have huge sales potential in the Dazou market.
Si Yan joined the camp at the age of ten. At a young age, he had a sharp eye and saw the lucrative business at a glance.
He reported it to the emperor at the time, and then with Zou Yuan's acquiescence, he set up a small caravan to resell goods near the border.
Later, after the business model took shape, Zou Yuan secretly got through it and gradually introduced the business into Zou State.
Speaking of which, the hot Sichuan brocade sold in the capital today was introduced by their caravan.
She looked stunned.
Si Yan was still discussing national affairs, and Shen Li was also very busy.
This time, Menghe came here to discuss the specific matters of the trade route between the two countries.
Si Yan went over the things he had discussed with the emperor again with Dai Menghe.
Shen Li's long march of thousands of miles got stuck on the first step: making a fire.
However, she used to use gas stoves and had never seen such stoves before.
…
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.
Si Yan: "I don't dare to take it. It's just the duty of a minister."
"It shouldn't be. I remember it was just one layer of wood and one layer of grass. Why can't it light up?"
Yao Caifeng was carrying a bucket of water, thinking there was a fire somewhere, but when she got closer, she saw that it was the new lady who had just walked in yesterday.
Shen Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, looking puzzled.
The cook in the mansion rushed over when she saw the black smoke here.
In addition, Si Yan also took out an envelope, which contained the customs clearance documents needed for the entire caravan, as well as a pre-made route map.
Back then, Zou Yuan just looked at Si Yan and showed him a clear path. At that time, he would never have thought that Si Yan would bring him such great help.
"Ahem, miss, did we do something wrong?"
"General Si, you can do your work with peace of mind. Having a minister like you is so powerful."
To be honest, Shen Li's cooking skills are really good. She used to work in a restaurant as a work-study student. If she hadn't been discovered by a talent scout and entered the entertainment industry, she might actually have become a chef.
Although Dai Menghe had cooperated with Si Yan for a long time and knew that he handled things cleanly and efficiently, he still couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.
These words are not just words, they are really burning into the sky!
The kitchen was filled with thick smoke, almost blackening people, and sparks kept coming out of the stove.
After taking this step, Zou Yuan had a little more hope of victory and added weight in the game with the Queen Mother.
"Madam, why are you here?"
Shen Li looked embarrassed.
"I...I want to make something, but I can't light it on fire."
Yao Caifeng was surprised. Even though she had lived for so many years, she had never seen a newlywed go to the kitchen the day after her wedding.
