Chapter 288 Looking for the Chef of Moon Viewing Tower
Shen Qingshan didn't understand. Where did this come from?
Looking at Shen Qingshan's ignorant face, Li Yanzhi disliked him for the ten thousandth time in his heart.
If Shen Mozhu hadn't been so stubborn and refused to work for him, would he have had to go to so much trouble to push this loser Shen Qingshan to the top?
It’s really a matter of comparing one person to another and throwing away goods!
"Shen Mozhu is the same as you, both are from Taoyuan County. You have no foundation in the capital, and so does he." Li Yanzhi pointed to the book on the ground and said, "The book you said can be bought in every bookstore in the capital. Do you know how many bookstores there are in the capital? How could Shen Mozhu be able to control such a big plate in such a short time? Just to print these books, do you know how much silver it costs? ! How could Shen Mozhu have so much silver to do these things."
There are many bookstores in the capital, but not every bookstore can print and sell books by itself. Only a few large bookstores can do this. The rest of the smaller bookstores buy books from book vendors.
It's not cheap to print a large number of books, especially in such a short time.
The paper books in Dachen are very valuable.
"Besides, he was injured like that. Even if he was lucky enough to be rescued, could he live a normal life? Would you associate with someone like him?" Li Yanzhi said, pointing to his face. "If I were him, if I really survived by chance, I would not have time to hide."
They both knew how thoroughly he had ruined Shen Mozhu's face.
That face, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he wouldn’t be able to fix it.
"But...but, the things in this book..." Shen Qingshan felt that what the prince said made a lot of sense after listening to him. But then he thought again. The things written in this book were too similar to what they did.
How can this be explained?!
Could it really be just a coincidence? In addition to Shen Mozhu, is there anyone else in the world who was impersonated by someone else?
"You! What a waste!" Li Yanzhi's dissatisfaction with Shen Qingshan was getting more and more serious.
I thought his knowledge was only slightly inferior to Shen Mozhu's, but I didn't expect that he was not just slightly inferior.
If he didn't want to keep Shen Mozhu's brain for future use, he could have killed Shen Mozhu right at the beginning.
And this Shen Qingshan is simply a hopeless person. Even if he changed his appearance and became the third place in the imperial examination, it is still fake!
Originally, the top three were eligible to enter the Hanlin Academy. However, this loser was kicked out of the Hanlin Academy by someone after just a few days!
He didn't even know what to say.
Now, any little disturbance is treated as a serious enemy.
It's really more of a failure than a success!
"My Lord, then you don't need to worry about this matter?" Shen Qingshan still felt uneasy.
I always feel like something is going to happen.
"How are you going to manage it?!" Li Yanzhi looked at Shen Qingshan as if he was a fool. "Whether it's the storyteller or the books sold in the bookstore, they are all legal and compliant. Are you going to blatantly beat and smash them?! What do you want to do? No matter what you do now, you are just trying to cover up your own faults! Idiot!"
It's just a coincidence.
There are so many coincidences in this world that this can make him lose his composure. It seems that he has to find a suitable person to replace him.
"Go back! Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. You should pay more attention to your career. I have helped you with everything I can. The rest depends on you. Don't let me regret helping you!" On the surface, the prince of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion and the newly promoted Tanhualang do not have such a good relationship. They cannot have such a good relationship.
Shen Qingshan came with a heart full of entanglements, and now he is leaving with a heart full of entanglements.
He himself didn't know why he came here.
He originally wanted to make a decision, but he didn't expect that in the end he would end up overthinking it.
Prince Huai's Palace.
King Huai sat in the main seat, drinking the medicine brought by his princess.
He drank the bitter-looking medicine in one gulp without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, please have some candied fruit. It will help to reduce the bitterness." Princess Ling pushed a plate of candied fruit in front of Prince Huai.
King Huai waved his hand and said, "No need. I've gotten used to it over the years."
When Princess Ling of Prince Huai saw that he refused, she stopped trying to persuade him and sat down below him. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Your Highness, the preparations for this year's birthday banquet are almost complete, except..."
"Princess, please speak frankly if you have anything to say." King Huai still respected his princess very much.
The Prince Huai’s Mansion is a cold and deserted government office.
There was no social interaction throughout the year. Every year, there would be a period of excitement when the prince celebrated his birthday.
This is a grace bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. The people in Prince Huai's Palace are grateful for it.
"It's nothing, but the birthday banquets in the past were prepared by the chefs in the mansion. It has been like this for so many years, and I thought about changing it up this year. This year, I heard that there is a popular ice cream season in the Moon Viewing Tower in the capital, and the cold pot skewers are very popular among the people. So I thought, why not let the chefs in the Moon Viewing Tower prepare the birthday banquet this year. It's also a new style. Moreover, it is something that is very popular among the people."
The expenses for the birthday banquet held by Prince Huai's Mansion have always been paid from the Ministry of Rites. This can be regarded as a grace given by His Majesty the Emperor.
The exact amount of this money has never been specified.
Therefore, Princess Huai wanted to hold the birthday banquet in a different way this year.
It’s the same dishes every year. Even if others aren’t tired of them, she is a little fed up with them.
Moreover, because of her identity as Princess Huai, she had no way to go to the Moon-Shanging Tower to try out the dishes that had recently become popular in the capital. So she took this opportunity to ask the chef of the Moon-Shanging Tower to cook for her.
We can also take this opportunity to show the strength of Prince Huai's Mansion to outsiders.
It was so frustrating for her to be the Princess of Huai.
They are not even as good as the families of some third or fourth rank officials.
"Okay. I'll have to trouble you with these matters, Princess." "For a prince, this kind of thing is just a trivial matter. There is no need to care about it. Just leave it to a woman to handle.
"Okay, I will send someone to the Moon Viewing Tower to greet you. Your birthday is only a few days away. I'm afraid we should hurry up and prepare for it." Princess Ling of Huai Wang got permission and left with the empty medicine bowl.
Time is running out and there are still many things to do. She has to hurry up.
