In the capital, Li Zhao returned from the military office and heard that one of his confidants, Eunuch Ji, was coming from the south and would not have time to take a bath, so he immediately summoned him.

He used to be a personal servant, so he did not hesitate to let Eunuch Ji directly enter the clean room to talk. Through a screen, Eunuch Ji bowed down and reported some things that happened in the officialdom of Lingnan and his journey from south to north.

experiences.

There were no major events in Lingnan. After all, as a place of exile, it had only seen some improvement in the more than ten years since Song Si went to serve as an official. However, these developments were simply dismissed by the officials in the capital.

There were some people who wanted to reach out to Lingnan and steal the achievements of Song Si's hard work over the years, but they were all suppressed by the ideas of Prince Su.

If they can't save Lingnan and Prince Su's Mansion, then they should stop messing around as soon as possible, and there is no need to think about that position.

On the other hand, the area south of the Yangtze River is still so restless. Everyone wants to get a share of anything that goes outside. Various forces are intertwined, there are various officialdom struggles, and conflicts continue.

The main reason is still because of the half-dead Donggong.

Although the prince was deposed, he seems to have gradually won the emperor's heart recently. Not only was the deposed prince released from prison, but the deposed prince's eldest son, His Highness the Emperor Changsun, also got an errand from Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple and dug out several cases.

The old cases in Jiangnan were all overturned after retrials.

Pull out the radish and put it in the mud, and dig out the unwiped shit from the buttocks of the second prince Ning Wang and the fifth prince Xin Wang. They shake it and show it to the emperor. The emperor is so angry that he can't do it at the small court meeting.

He kicked Prince Ning on the shoulder, knocking him over and cracking his head!

The East Palace, which existed in name only, had the upper hand. However, although King Ning and King Xin's people were pulled down, it would not be easy for the emperor's grandson to insert his own people there.

What Li Zhao and his father are best at is fishing in troubled waters.

How can it be so easy for His Highness Changsun to take advantage of the muddy waters they have worked so hard to stir up?

"Okay, I know everything." Li Zhao was thinking about his next plan, and suddenly remembered Song Qingyue, and asked again: "Is there anything going on in the Song Dynasty's residence?"

Eunuch Xiaoji immediately understood that the prince was asking Miss Song San! He immediately told Li Zhao about Mrs. Qin's ordination as a nun, and then added: "Miss Song San is a friendly person, and Aunt Qin went to a nunnery

After that, she often sent people to send some vegetarian pastries to Aunt Qin."

Li Zhao nodded and hid the smile that aroused at the corner of his lips. He asked Eunuch Ji to go down and rest. He leaned against the steaming barrel and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about things from his childhood.

That girl, I haven't seen her for several years, has become more and more obsessed with her, and I don't know what she looks like now.

Is it because you value friendship when you bring food to Mrs. Qin?

Haha, the woman who almost took Master Song’s soul away, what kind of friendship does Song Qingyue have towards Lady Qin?

She was just afraid that the nunnery would lead to poverty, and if Mrs. Qin stayed there for a long time, her cold temperament would be brought back to the nunnery, and her old relationship with Mr. Song would rekindle!

A few days later, Li Zhao and Ning Yuan, the young master of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, went to Yichun Tower to have a drink. They actually had butter chicken cake and egg tarts with canned fruits!

"This..." Li Zhao looked at the butter chicken cake and fruit tart with a strange expression. Isn't this the food that the girl made?

How come it was sold to the capital?

Ning Yuan thought he had never seen it before, and said with excitement: "Hey, you haven't seen it, right? To be honest, this is passed down from Lingnan. I specially invited a master from Lingnan to make it. The taste is average, but it looks good. Let's

Eat fresh.”

Li Zhao snorted and said to Mr. Lin from Huangmen who was waiting beside him: "Go and call the cook who makes cakes and egg tarts."

The cook was quickly called over, and after asking, he found out that these two dishes were actually taught to everyone free of charge by the cook from Guangyue Tower in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Guangyue Tower was opened by Song Qingyue, Liang and several aunts, and Song Qingyue held the majority of the shares.

Ning Yuan became curious: "We have a recipe for fresh food, but it's too late to hide it. How can someone give it to others for free?"

The chef smiled and said: "The owner of Guangyue Tower is Lord Song, the chief envoy. Lord Song has always been like this. He never hides any good things. In the past, Lord Song taught us how to raise chickens.

It’s not surprising that he can give these recipes to everyone now.”

It seems that Song Si is going to show his face in front of the emperor again. This Yichun Tower is said to be a government-run brothel, but it is a stronghold of Jinyiwei. If Yichun Tower has something to eat, is it afraid that the emperor will not be able to eat it?

Li Zhao took another bite of the egg tart and asked, "May I have a look at the recipe?"

The chef agreed immediately and immediately wrote down the required ingredients on the spot.

Li Zhao glanced at it, pointed at one of the items and asked, "Snowflake white sugar?"

The chef immediately laughed, raised his hands to Li Zhaogong and said: "Master Shizi has a good eye! If you want to make these foods delicious, Lingnan's snowflake white sugar is the key. If you replace it with ordinary brown sugar, brown sugar is not the same."

No, it’s just that the taste and color are a bit different.”

Li Zhao understood and asked the chef to go down.

Li Zhao knew that the method of making white sugar was in Song Qingyue's hands. Because of the complicated process, the price was much higher than that of brown sugar and brown sugar. He taught everyone the recipes for these snacks for free.

It not only helped Mr. Song gain a good reputation as an official, but also broadened the sales of sugar, killing two birds with one stone.

He said, Mr. Song and that girl never do business at a loss.

Li Zhao raised his head and saw Ning Yuan looking at him with a pair of curious eyes. Li Zhao pursed his lips and refused to say a word. He tortured Ning Yuan so much that he couldn't sleep well for several nights!
