Chapter 314 Sending to the Palace
Author: Qingqingyinuo
Lin Shuran hurriedly opened the food box. Inside was a jar of sugar and some candies wrapped in colored paper. She smiled and explained to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, this is the new sugar and candies I came up with in the mansion. In a few days, my house will
The third child will also open a small candy shop, and I thought I would give some to the Queen Mother to try first. There are toffee and halva, you should like them."
After saying that, Lin Shuran first took out a small box of toffee, but she also knew the rules in the palace. Anything brought into the palace from outside, especially food, must be tested by the palace servants to see if it is poisonous.
.
Aunt Chang first stepped forward to take the toffee box from Lin Shuran's hand, and then looked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. Aunt Chang opened the box and took out a candy and sent it to the Queen Mother. She had to say that she loves the house very much. The Queen Mother
The trust in Lin Shuran is also very strong.
The Queen Mother curiously peeled off the candy wrapper, and a faint milky scent floated into her nose. Then she saw a white candy shorter than her little finger inside the candy wrapper, and a layer of transparent paper as thin as a cicada's wings on the outside.
I wanted to take off this layer of tissue paper, but found that it seemed to be stuck to the candy.
"The Queen Mother, this is glutinous rice paper, it is edible!" Lin Shuran explained at the right time. Then she took out a piece of candy from the food box and peeled it open. There was also a candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper. She smiled and took the candy
Put it in your mouth.
The Queen Mother was surprised. She had never eaten anything with paper, glutinous rice paper - this was also the first time she had heard of it. However, she did not shy away from trying it just because she saw something new. Instead, she smiled and
Put the candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper into your mouth, not to mention that the paper melts when it touches water, and the sweet feeling instantly fills your entire mouth, it's so delicious.
Then, Lin Shuran introduced white sugar to the Queen Mother, saying that it was white, clean, and very sweet, suitable for making all kinds of snacks. She also talked about many of the benefits of white sugar, and even had to cook for the Queen Mother herself using white sugar.
Dish.
How could the Queen Mother let the pregnant Lin Shuran go to the kitchen to cook for her? Instead, she called the imperial chef and asked Lin Shuran to tell him the method and then let him do it. Moreover, she wanted to keep Lin Shuran to eat in the palace today.
.
Concubine Yun heard the news that Lin Shuran had entered the palace and came to the Queen Mother's Palace. Princess Jiang Yue also followed. Lin Shuran also brought candy to her. After eating a piece of toffee, Princess Jiang Yue completely fell in love with the candy, but
Lin Shuran warned her not to eat too much candy, as eating too much would be harmful to her teeth.
"Aunt, Jiang Yue knows!" Xiao Jiang Yue looked at a box of candies and said with disappointment. She is a girl who likes sweets. How can she resist eating so many sweets in the future? It's really difficult.
!
At lunch time, Chef Yu made several dishes according to the recipes and methods mentioned by Lin Shuran. More or less white sugar was used in them. Unexpectedly, the food he made actually tasted more delicious, especially the shredded sweet potato dish.
, it was also the first time for the imperial chef to try it, but the chef was a chef, and he actually did a decent job, which was deeply loved by the Queen Mother and Princess Jiang Yue.
"Since your third child is going to open a sugar shop, you should have some sugar on hand, right?" After lunch, the Queen Mother looked at Lin Shuran and asked with a smile.
Lin Shuran nodded. She also knew that her little thoughts could not be hidden from the Queen Mother. The purpose of entering the palace today was to "promote" Xu Minghan's soon-to-open candy shop in the palace. Now that the Queen Mother can eat sugar and say "good", then others will
There will be relatively less scruples and suspicions about new things like sugar.
But what Lin Shuran didn't expect was that the Queen Mother directly told the Xu family to send sugar to the palace in the future. This was the first big deal that Lin Shuran signed for Xu Minghan's sugar shop before it opened. This was really an unexpected surprise.
"Mom, the Queen Mother really said that our family should provide sugar to the palace?" This is not just a big business, it is simply a gift of money. Even if there is no other business, just sending sugar to the palace is enough to make the general's palace powerful.
Now that he had no worries about food and clothing, Xu Minghan was a little confused.
"That's right, are you scared?" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Minghan and asked, and then said, "Don't worry, I will help you!"
Xu Minghan immediately shook his head and replied: "Mom, I'm not afraid. Being able to do business with the palace is what every businessman dreams of. I want to do a good job in this business in the long run, and I have to let people
No one else can gossip."
"Whether you are doing business or doing things, don't be afraid of others gossiping. We can't control what others want to say if we open our mouths. We just need to do our own thing well and have a clear conscience. The only way to do business in the long run is to maintain quality, quantity and credibility.
Remember, don't be a profiteer. A profiteer will gain temporary benefits but destroy his own foundation, and there will be no good results." Lin Shuran was only worried that Xu Minghan was young and inexperienced, and that no one would teach him.
As I walked along this road, I was afraid of going astray.
"Mom, I understand!" Xu Minghan assured.
The other children of the Xu family also tried their best to help Xu Minghan's candy shop "advertise". The fourth child, Xu Mingfan, deliberately brought some candies into the Imperial College for his teachers and classmates to taste.
He used his identity to attend various banquets in the city and took the opportunity to spread the news that the Xu family was going to open a sugar shop.
On the actual opening day, the Xu family's small sugar shop was crowded with people, and soon the cans of sugar were snatched away, and all the candies were sold out, even the white sugar and various types of sugar sold by the Xu family.
The price of the candies is not low, but they are sold out quickly. Especially when I heard that the sugar is specially supplied to the palace, more people buy it.
On the first day Xujia Sugar Shop opened, within half a day, everything was sold out, and the newly arrived goods were sold out again without even being put on the shelves. I thought I couldn’t just do business for one day.
, there will be goods to open tomorrow, so Xu Minghan decided to close for half a day.
"Third brother, I didn't expect the business of our candy shop to be so good. I almost didn't have any candy today!" Xu Minghao hid in the backyard of the candy shop and opened another candy and put it in his mouth. It was a hawthorn-flavored candy.
Sour and sweet, so delicious.
"I didn't expect it to be like this!" Xu Minghan said with a bitter smile. It was the first time he was doing business and he encountered such a big battle. He was still a little uncomfortable, but he was still determined. Everything was unexpected and expected.
During this time, he was able to calm down and deal with it well.
"Young Master, some people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce came outside and said they wanted to talk to you about something!" At this moment, the shop boy came over and said to Xu Minghan.
Xu Minghan frowned. He had only been open for half a day when people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce came to see him. These people had good noses. Moreover, they knew that Lin Shuran was in charge of the Xu family, but they did not go to her, but to him.
