Dressed as a peasant girl, the prince actually wants to seduce me

Chapter 161 Pretending to be surprised

The people in the shop were selling lotus root powder in full swing, and even sugar, which could be bought elsewhere, was bought by many people.

"Brother, our lotus root powder is still very popular." Su Mu and Su Yuanshan watched from the side of the shop.

"Little sister, everything you make is very popular." The eldest brother smiled.

"Since lotus root powder is so popular, we can research and develop some simple foods in the future." Su Mu thought about what other simple foods were there, instant noodles? Eaten cold?

"Brother, please look after the shop. I'll go to the back and think about it!"

The eldest brother laughed and the lotus root starch had just been made, and the younger sister started thinking about the next idea.

In the following days, the number of people buying candy suddenly increased. “Why are there so many people buying candy today?”

"Don't you know?" The buyer was surprised, "The taste of your candy is different from that of other candies."

At first they thought all candies tasted the same, but the candies they bought from Su’s Food Store tasted different!

"I love the taste of this, so I came here again and bought a lot."

The guys immediately understood what this was. They had been eating the candies in the shop for so long that they had almost forgotten about it. The candies in the shop had an indescribable sweetness compared to the usual candies sold.

"Thank you, here's your candy." The waiter thanked him.

"You didn't promote this candy, and we almost missed it. Remember to promote the candy next time."

"Eh, okay."

The clerk reported the news to Sumu, who was also surprised when he heard it, "I didn't expect it to be this reason."

This is actually very normal. The sugar in the shop is made from beets, and it is artificially made. The temperature of boiling sugar is different, so the taste of sugar is naturally different. The sugar in the shop has a light caramel flavor.

"Now that you know the reason, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes."

Su Mu got up and went to the Xiangjun Mansion to check on the progress of the repairs.

"Miss."

"How is the renovation of Steward Lin's mansion going?"

"Miss, I will take you to have a look."

Su Mu followed the housekeeper Lin and saw that there were great changes in the mansion. The number of rockery had been reduced, and some exposed and dry plants had been pulled out, and many new flowers and plants had been planted.

"Is there something in this lake?" Su Mu asked while standing by the lake.

"In accordance with the young lady's instructions, we have asked someone to plant many varieties of lotus in this lake." Butler Lin said with a smile.

"This renovation is so good." There is a new scene at every step. It is not complicated and has a unique charm.

"This is all my job." Managing the Xiangjun Mansion is a lot less stressful for Steward Lin. There aren't so many servants with nepotism, and there aren't a bunch of difficult-to-serve masters of the various courtyards.

The master is so easy to serve and generous. He gave me a large sum of money for expenses as soon as I arrived here, and he was not stingy at all.

Su Mu had just come out of the Xiangjun Mansion and had not walked far when he met the emperor.

"Grandpa Ji!" Su Mu shouted.

The emperor turned around and found it was Su Mu, "Su girl!"

"Where did Grandpa Ji go?" Su Mu came to the side of the emperor.

"I'm just about to go to Ji Shiyan's place!" Two days ago he went to find Ji Shiyan to show off, but he was not in the mansion, and here he is again today.

"Will Su go with me?"

Su Mu thought that he hadn't been to Ji Shiyan's mansion for a long time, so he agreed.

"Seasonal Banquet." This time no one was there to show up empty-handed.

"Grandfather Emperor, Mumu, you guys are here together?" Ji Shiyan stood up to greet him.

"Come, find someone to boil a pot of hot water. I'll show you something magical." The emperor was very impatient. Now Ji Shiyan was the only one who hadn't seen this trick of his.

As soon as Ji Shiyan heard that boiling hot water was needed, he understood what his royal grandfather was going to do. Instead of exposing him, he followed his royal grandfather's wishes and asked for a pot of boiling hot water.

"Just wait! I'll go to the inner room and make you a bowl of thick porridge in a few breaths." The emperor went in happily and repeated his steps.

Su Mu looked at Ji Shiyan expectantly, wanting to know what expression he had.

Then Ji Shiyan silently took out a can of lotus root powder from the cabinet behind him and shook it.

Su Mu also saw a lot of lotus root powder in that cabinet.

"I do." Ji Shiyan said in a low voice.

Su Mu laughed out loud and looked at the door over there. The emperor was still there seriously brewing lotus root powder.

That’s right, Ji Shiyan must have known about the lotus root powder after it’s been sold for two or three days.

The two of them were like cats stealing fish, looking at each other and secretly holding back their laughter.

"Ji Shiyan, look, isn't it amazing!" The emperor came out, and the two of them immediately pretended they knew nothing and sat upright.

Ji Shiyan pretended to be very shocked and kept praising the emperor.

"Do you already know this?" the emperor suddenly asked, and he couldn't tell whether he was truly surprised or not.

Ji Shiyan stopped talking and admitted honestly, "Yes."

"I came too late. If I had come a few days earlier, you would definitely not know." The emperor looked regretful.

"I've been busy with seeds these days."

"Shall I get you a few boxes of lotus root powder?" Ji Shiyan coaxed the emperor.

"That's fine." The emperor was happy.

"How's the seed issue going?" Su Mu asked.

Ji Shiyan nodded, "Everything has been arranged."

"Su girl, can you provide a large batch of lotus root powder?"

Su Mu thought about the remaining goods and the production speed of the workshop, "It's still okay."

"Does the emperor want to order a batch?" Ji Shiyan asked.

"Yes."

"I can do that, just come over and get it without worry." Su Mu agreed generously.

"I am planning to research some similar fast foods later." Su Mu revealed the news.

"Girl Su is amazing! It would be much more convenient if there were more of these fast foods. I've been waiting for the good news." The emperor was looking forward to eating those fast foods.

"Mumu, these are the money from selling wine." Ji Shiyan handed Sumu a big box.

"So much?" The box in his hand was full of silver.

"Bai wine is very popular." Ji Shiyan said that it would be embarrassing to hold a banquet without a pot of Bai wine.

"There are now too many poems about white wine to count." Those people were inspired to write poetry after drinking white wine.

Su Mu listened with great interest to the recent situation of Baijiu.

"Mumu's white wine, my mother even praised it."

"The Queen is so powerful!" Then he thought that there seemed to be a lack of sweet and refreshing wine, and some of the flavors that women liked, so he could have a few kinds of wine to drink in rotation.

"For Ji Shiyan, let's make some fruit wine!" The taste of fruit wine is not as pungent as white wine, but very mellow.

"Fruit wine? Can fruit be used to make wine?"

"Yes! And the tastes of the brewed wines are also different. There are sweet wines and sweet and sour wines."

"Some young girls can taste this kind of fruit wine occasionally."
