Chapter 14 Cannon Fodder Must Have Cannon Fodder
"As far as I know, Jiang Meiren's father is a sixth-rank official, and the annual salary, salary, job field, manpower and other subsidies are added together, totaling about 60 taels."

Speaking of this, Huang Dechang fell into deep thought.

Isn't this... making ends meet?
So here comes the question, Jiang Meiren is from a humble background, where can she get the money to eat roast duck?
Where did you get the money to make silver soft boots for His Highness the Prince?
At the same time, Jiang Shishi watched the prince leave and turned back to the courtyard.

Chun Xing followed her, "Master, in fact, as long as you don't tell me, no one will know that the boots were made by slaves."

"But it is a fact that I am not good at embroidery. Sooner or later, I will be exposed. It is better to confess earlier." Jiang Shishi also told Chun Xing, "I will write a shoe-making formula later, and you will give it to Xiao Woods."

The boots that the crown prince likes are sure to be popular among the people.

In addition, when the prince received the envoy, she had to find a way to spoil the prince.

The spoiler can't be too obvious, let alone stated clearly, otherwise it's hard to guarantee that people will treat her as a monster and arrest her.

Not to mention others, but she herself thinks that wearing a book is very evil.

**
There are only two situations for concubines in the harem, either the palace fights to death, or the Buddhist family lies flat.

In the next few days, the concubines of the Eastern Palace sent some things to the prince's front yard from time to time, busy fighting for favor.

Only Jiang Shishi's Buddhist system lies flat.

After all, cannon fodder must have cannon fodder.

In the early morning of this day, Jiang Shishi went to the Tang concubine's morning province as usual.

At this moment, all the concubines and concubines have arrived, and Tang side concubine greets the maids to serve tea and snacks.

There was a square red sandalwood tea table between the concubines. When Jiang Shishi saw Xue Mei Niang on the tea table, Liu raised her eyebrows slightly.

I saw that each Xuemei Niang was cut into four small pieces, and the snow-white pastry was wrapped with golden pineapple sandwich and snow-white cream.

Xue Liangdi at the side also saw it, and asked curiously: "What kind of cake is this, I have never seen it before."

Concubine Tang said quite proudly: "This is a fashionable pastry in the capital. It has just been introduced to the palace. I tasted it and it tasted good, so I asked the maid to bring it out for all the sisters to share."

"It's hard for elder sister Tang to think about us." Xue Liangdi lightly squeezed a piece of Xue Mei Niang's mouth.

After chewing carefully, he nodded and said: "This dim sum is glutinous, filled with sweet and sour pineapple, and has a faint milky fragrance. No wonder it is popular in Beijing and the palace."

After Gu Meiren tasted it, she also nodded and said it was delicious, "Sister Tang, what's the name of this pastry? If I get hungry tomorrow, I'll go to the Imperial Dining Room and order a dish to try."

After hearing this, Concubine Tang said rather proudly: "This pastry is called 'Xue Mei Niang', and Xiaodie costs a few dozen taels of silver. If my sister likes it, she can also buy it at the Imperial Dining Room."

After finishing speaking, she gave Gu Meiren a contemptuous look, obviously feeling that Gu Meiren couldn't afford it.

Jiang Shishi: "."

It seems that what Xiao Linzi said is right, even if Xue Mei Niang only sells for a few dozen coins a dish, as long as she enters the palace, someone will increase the price a hundred times!
After hearing Tang's side concubine's words, Gu Meiren gave a coy smile, then turned her head and pinched Xue Meiniang's mouth again.

Since she couldn't afford it, she just ate a little for nothing at Tang side concubine's place.

Anyway, Concubine Tang's father was the governor of the third rank, and Concubine Tang's mother was well-versed in business. There were a lot of fertile farms and shops in the family, so naturally there was money.

It can be said that, except for Concubine Ruan, the family background of everyone present is not as strong as Concubine Tang.

Heh, she finally understood that Tang's side concubine said it nicely in order to share the delicious food.

In her opinion, it's just for showing off!
Xue Liangdi originally wanted to try a piece, but when she heard that this small pastry was so precious, she didn't try it again, she just said lightly, "The name of this pastry is really nice".

Concubine Ruan tasted two pieces.

On weekdays, in order to maintain a slim figure, the concubines eat like cat food.

For such a sweet snack, two pieces are very appetizing.

Jiang Shishi has always been modest when she is outside, and she only ate two yuan.

This morning, Concubine Tang showed off with a plate of Xuemei Niang, and then dismissed everyone.

After they left, Jiang Shishi and Chun Xing walked back.

As soon as she returned to Shiyue Pavilion, Jiang Shishi slumped down on the reclining chair with ease.

Seeing this, Chun Xing was in a hurry.

"My lord, you don't know that the Southern Xinjiang envoy will come to our country to pay tribute in a few days, and His Highness the Crown Prince will take the envoy out of the palace to play, so the concubines in the Eastern Palace are busy fighting for favor, and show courteousness to His Highness, in order to win I have the opportunity to accompany the prince out of the palace!"

"No, Concubine Ruan and Concubine Xue Liangdi have started to compete for favor, so, as concubines of the Eastern Palace, you should show it anyway."

"What? Even Concubine Ruan and Xue Liangdi are competing for favor? Then I really should show something." Jiang Shishi sat upright, "Otherwise it's against the rules."

Chun Xing: "."

I thought the little master was starting to fight, but it turned out to be just for the sake of looking good on the surface?

"Then what do you plan to give Your Highness?"

Jiang Shishi: "What do they use to fight for favor in the front yard?"

Chun Xing: "Although His Royal Highness does not lack for anything, food is the most important thing for the people, so His Royal Highness, three meals a day are indispensable, so all the concubines wash their hands and make soup for His Highness."

After all, sending things away tends to pile up in the warehouse, and sending meals may even be tasted by His Highness.

Jiang Shishi: "Then I wash my hands and prepare meals for Your Highness."

"Don't, don't." Chun Xing waved her hands frightened when she thought of the hard-to-eat food made by Jiang Meiren, "Actually, I don't have to be like them, we can also give something different."
