Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 414 Murong Chen’s face was full of astonishment

Murong Guang raised his head, his face full of astonishment.

When I arrived at this secret courtyard today, I saw my second brother sitting in the pavilion drinking strong wine with a lonely expression.

Concernedly asked about his injuries, but he did not answer.

Instead, he asked himself to talk about the past with the princess of Chu.

Seeing that the second brother was feeling bored hiding in this courtyard for a long time, and he didn't seem to mind mentioning Princess Yingxue anymore, he talked for a while.

Just now I saw the indifferent look on my second brother's face, and I thought that he had been on the battlefield for several years, and he had long since stopped listening to the boring trivialities of life.

But I didn't expect that he was still waiting for the next step.

Murong Guang thought for a moment and continued:

"Later on, she bought all the top-quality chestnuts shipped from Zhanbeicheng in Soochow at three times the price.

At that time, the shopkeepers who failed to buy one because the bid was not high said bitterly that she must have lost money on the transaction.

Although the output of chestnuts in Southern Chu is small, and the taste is far less sweet and glutinous than that in Northern China, it is not completely absent.

For Chu people, it is not a new gadget that they have never seen before and cannot be sold at a high price. "

When Murong Guang said this, he glanced at Murong Chen.

What's wrong with the second brother? He obviously hates Xue'er so much that he gnashes his teeth and wants revenge.

Why do you have to listen to Xue'er's old stories today?
Is it possible that Xue'er treats him like this but he still has feelings for her?

Thinking of this, Murong Guang's face was full of bitterness.

If the second brother hates her, he just wants revenge and vent.

Then when he has vented enough anger, maybe he can...

When he raised his eyes again, he found Murong Chen looking at him with a "why don't you say anything anymore" expression.

He coughed to cover up his distraction.

"She boasted in front of all the restaurant owners that she would be able to double her chestnut money.

Everyone laughed, but she ignored them.

Later, she stayed in the dining room for several days, not knowing what she was doing.

Until one day, a strong fragrance came from the dining room.

Xiaotao Xiaojue and I smelled the smell and ran over curiously.Only then did I realize that she had actually imitated the recipe of passion cake, using shortening and flour to make those chestnut cakes, which were crispy on the outside and sweet and soft on the inside.

Because chestnuts are of high quality, they are fragrant after being roasted. "

Murong Guang glanced at Murong Chen and saw him playing with the wine bottle blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

He wanted to stop, but in view of the previous two consecutive pressing questions, he continued to talk about this trivial matter in the restaurant that was boring to the king of war.

"In order to silence the shopkeepers who said she would lose money, she set the price of chestnut cakes to five times that of ordinary chestnuts.

As a result, after two days of selling, not a single chestnut cake was sold.

Zhenweige has become a joke among all the shopkeepers.

But she is not discouraged at all.

On the third day, she asked her waiter to clear a space in the restaurant and set up an oven. They would bake and sell the food every day where the guests were eating.

As soon as the aroma came out, some customers couldn't help but buy a piece to taste.

Afterwards, the customer was full of praise and bought a whole batch.

Then, every table of guests in the restaurant wanted to try the pleasantly fragrant chestnut cake.

After that, the reputation spread, and there was a grand occasion where it was hard to find a piece of cake. "

"Ah!"

Murong Chen sneered.

"The business is going well."

When Murong Guang saw that Murong Chen, who had been like a zombie, finally responded emotionally, he was secretly happy and spoke more energetically.

“After all, chestnuts are transported from Zhanbei City in the far east of Soochow, and the quantity is limited no matter how large it is.

Therefore, you have to queue up early and pay half the price to buy the chestnut cake from Zhenweige Pavilion.

We all thought that those shopkeepers had nothing to say.

However, it was obviously a business that made a lot of money every day, but in the end, it was still a loss. "

Murong Guang saw the astonishment on Murong Chen's face and smiled faintly.
