The eldest sister didn't know much about some military matters, so she went down and had some snacks served, and there were also a lot of Western foods brought back by Gao Shaoyi.
"You have a lot of new things here. I've heard that Prince Kang and Crown Princess received a lot of bills. You can honestly add 30% to me and send them to me. If it's a little less than his.
If so, be careful because I won’t let you into the bridal chamber, and your aunt’s hands are also black.”
The engaged princess ate a piece of chocolate. It was really luxurious. Some of these Western foods are delicious, but they are just too expensive. Take this piece of chocolate, for example, the price outside is two silver coins.
This one bite is enough for an average person to eat for a month.
"There really aren't any secrets in this capital city, but the last time I sent someone to deliver Boxing gifts, didn't I give some to my aunt?"
Gao Shaoyi shook his head helplessly. His aunt felt very sorry for him. Gao Shaoyi had sent someone to send her there a long time ago. How could it be gone only after so long?
"No! What you sent back last time were all banknotes. There were two envelopes in total. I thought they were all banknotes, so I asked someone to collect them."
When the betrothed princess said this, Gao Shaoyi understood what was going on. One envelope indeed contained banknotes, but the other envelope contained all shopping coupons for goods sold.
"My dear mother, can you please take a good look at it next time when you unpack something? I'm still wondering. In the past, my cousin respected you very much even if he was messing around. How could he give you good things first?
Let me tell you, this problem that has been causing trouble for a long time is your fault."
It can be seen that the relationship between mother and daughter is also very good.
During this period, if wealthy people in the capital were to give gifts, they would not feel upscale if they did not have some of the foreign gadgets in Gao Shaoyi's grocery store. However, there were too many people buying and there were too few goods there, so they needed to be distributed in advance.
Some bills, if you don't have these bills, they won't sell them to you when you take the money.
My cousin also has many relatives and friends in the capital. When she went out, people said it was her cousin's shop. She couldn't even buy the goods, and her face was very embarrassing.
I scolded this cousin several times in my heart, but I didn't expect that someone would send him back long ago. The problem lies with my mother.
"Blame me, blame me. On the way here just now, I was thinking that I should scold your cousin so hard that I would forget about his aunt and only remember to fawn over my mother-in-law."
Everyone burst into laughter after the conversation, which could be considered as clearing up the misunderstanding, otherwise it would always be a bittersweet thing in our hearts.
"Those are some ordinary things. This is the best thing. It's just that the weather is not suitable for eating, but it is absolutely delicious."
Gao Shaoyi went to the kitchen with a smile, and then exchanged some ice cream. This kind of thing has been in the system for a long time. The US military often ate ice cream during World War II, but Gao Shaoyi hadn't figured out how to sell it yet, so he didn't know how to sell it.
It has not been put into stores.
"Is this white milk pancake?"
The eldest sister said a little strangely.
"You will know after one bite. It is ice cold. This season is not suitable. It should be best eaten in summer, but it is okay to eat less now."
Gao Shaoyi was afraid that the women in his family would get upset after eating it, so he used smaller bowls. Eating ice cream in the winter is nothing in modern society.
"Oh my gosh, it's so delicious. It's the first time I've eaten something so delicious. Although it's a little cold, it's really sweet."
My cousin ate up her own in two or three mouthfuls. Seeing that Gao Shaoyi's bowl was still untouched, she brought it over directly.
"Don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. Just eat this little in the winter."
After the cousin finished eating, he asked Gao Shaoyi to get some, but Gao Shaoyi really didn't dare to do it. If he got diarrhea, it would be a big sin.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble with your cousin. This thing may be very precious. It's not like you don't know the stuff he has. Besides, eating too much can cause diarrhea. Are you here to help? Come to eat?”
The betrothed princess also finished the small bowl, which she felt was a bit unsatisfactory, but she couldn't eat it like a child.
"I'll find some clean utensils to put some for you later. When you go back, cover it with a clean object and just put it outside. Never put it inside the house. If the temperature is too high, it will all melt. It’s the same thing as ice cubes.”
It happens to be winter in the Daqian Dynasty now, so the temperature outside is around three or four degrees below zero. As long as it is placed in a cool place, it will never melt.
The betrothed princess and her cousin both nodded. There was really no way to refuse these things. As long as they took these things back, they would definitely be the only ones in the capital. I don’t know how many people would want to eat them by then!
It can also improve the status of the engagement prince's palace. Don't underestimate this kind of food. There are many places for comparison in the capital.
"Auntie, you should be very clear about the pricing in the capital. If it were a small bowl like this just now, would anyone be able to buy it if it was sold for two silver coins?"
There were no refrigerators in this era, so ice cream could only be sold in winter.
"Don't say two silver coins. If you meet those greedy people, even if it's four silver coins, I guess someone will buy it."
The cousin was quick to talk, but the aunt next to him also nodded, and Gao Shaoyi remembered it in his heart. He had to make this thing sell before leaving, but without a good packaging, this was really not good.
Then they started talking about Gao Shaoyi's marriage. Where should the happy words be posted at home and what kind of people should be found outside to watch. This was not something Gao Shaoyi could interfere with. The engagement princess had presided over many such weddings. Therefore, the arrangements were in order. When it was getting dark, Gao Shaoyi sent someone to send the betrothed princess back. Of course, according to etiquette, Gao Shaoyi had to send her to the door of the palace. After all, this was Gao Shaoyi's elder.
"This car is still comfortable to sit in. I know you are filial and sent two to the palace, but your uncle, an old antique, will not use such a car. I guess I am just taking advantage of you."
Arriving at the gate of the palace, Gao Shaoyi opened the car door for his aunt. The betrothed princess was very satisfied with the car along the way.
Ahem...
No one would dare to make a loud noise in front of the palace, but the sound of coughing could be heard from far away. It turned out that Prince Ding had just returned from the Prime Minister's Affairs Office, and the sedan chair carried by the Sixteenth Emperor came over bit by bit.
Gao Shaoyi didn't expect such a coincidence. It seems that he will have to eat this meal at his uncle's house today.
