The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 36: Using cheats to grab business and boost the local economy

No one knows whether Hu Luanfei's turtle soup is inlaid with gold, but anyway, one family is happy while another is sad. Soup bowls from all over the country were bought by Prince Zhan's Mansion. Such an unintentional move accidentally promoted the development of an industry.

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Zhan was extremely poor. When he was discussing the soup bowl business those two days, it was only by selling his ancestral wild ginseng that he could pay the deposit. No one looked favorably upon them, thinking that a man who could only lead troops in battle and a woman who could only serve tea could never win against the accomplished daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

Who would have thought that Hu Luanfei secretly arranged for his brothers in the mansion to embellish the rumor of "the War King ate turtle" into a love story of "the War King was willing to drink turtle soup in order to embrace the beauty".

Every time the War King thought of that day, he would ask the princess to make soup to recall the taste of his first love.

Even though they know it is fake, some people still believe it is true.

In just two days, the story of the King of War and his wife spread throughout the streets and alleys, and everyone wanted to taste the soup.

Some people said that after drinking the soup, their tired body and mind felt refreshed, and their headaches and back pains disappeared.

Others say that just a sip will make you look radiant, women will become more attractive than before, men will become more handsome than before, and fickle people will become devoted and couples will become more united.

With the publicity before it, people naturally put aside common items such as calligraphy and paintings and were unwilling to support them, but the turtle soup came from the hands of Princess Zhan, which was a miracle that only appeared once in a century.

After all, which princess would cook soup for common people herself?

The battle was over in less than half a day after it began.

Hu Luanfei tasted the turtle soup he made himself with high spirits, and smiled softly, "Ms. Jiang, from now on, you can no longer set foot in the capital city. Farewell, please take care of yourself."

Jiang Huizhen, who had been raised in the palm of her hand and pampered since she was a child, had never tasted the taste of defeat. When she heard what she said, she immediately acted like a child, "I don't care, you are cheating in the Zhan Palace!"

Hu Luanfei sneered, "If you win, it's because you're good. If you lose, it's because I'm cheating. Jiang Huizhen, you're an adult now, why are you still being so willful like a child? It was you who set the bet, and I didn't say it was unfair. Why are you crying?"

"No, that's not fair."

"No matter if you are fair or not, since you have lost, you should fulfill your promise and leave the capital. Also, it won't be too late to bring the 10,000 taels of silver here before you leave."

"You, you are delusional!"

Because she was playing against her love rival, in order to defeat Hu Luanfei, Jiang Huizhen went to the palace specifically to ask for her elder sister's calligraphy and paintings, using the banner of "Famous Works of Concubine Jiang" to attract customers, and also sent out invitations to many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries.

The Duke's Mansion had been preparing for a long time, and everyone was very busy. They thought they would easily win the first place and drive Princess Zhan away. However, they didn't know that Princess Zhan was a powerful character, and the whole good plan was messed up by her.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military, so don't be too quick to be sad. After meeting me, victory will no longer belong to you. Save your tears, you will have another chance to cry in the future."

"Hu Luanfei, do you think that if you win this time, you will have a chance to win again in the future? Forget it. This is the only time you can be so arrogant."

"Heh, wait until you can come back and beat me."

In order to prepare for this competition, Prince Zhan's Mansion invited famous chefs from all over the world to gather in the capital and prepare a super awesome turtle soup feast.

She uses space stream water and fine medicinal herbs to stew it. Drinking it can not only cure some diseases, but also beautify the skin. It is deeply loved by women in the capital city.

This Cheng Yaojin who was always fighting throughout the process not only worked hard on the turtle soup, but also designed several soups for children to strengthen the spleen and stomach and treat bedwetting. They were cooked by famous chefs and diagnosed by famous doctors. He opened a health banquet for adults and children, and made a lot of money with the buy one get one free routine. No matter whether it was wealthy businessmen or ordinary people, they all came to taste it.

In contrast, Jiang Huizhen's calligraphy and painting studio is deserted and there are very few buyers.

Some people were afraid of offending the Duke's Mansion and causing a strained relationship, so they just went ahead and showed up, bought a few cheaper flower and bird paintings, and then left in a hurry.

On this day, the Zhan Palace made a lot of money, and gained popularity and wealth. After this competition, the chef's reputation also spread.

Hu Luanfei did not hide the recipe of turtle soup, and anyone can cook it by following the steps. This unconventional move has promoted the development of an industry.

In the War Prince's Palace——

A dozen people sat in the garden counting the silver they earned today. In front of each person, the white silver piled up into a small mountain.

Hu Luanfei sat on a stone bench, clacking away on his abacus, while Qi Siriao walked around in circles with a small sack, putting the brothers' counted silver into the sack.

Jiang Shi dreamed about a silver coin, "If the prince wants to marry me one day, please give me someone as capable as my sister-in-law."

Qi Si Liao's deep pupils suddenly dilated, and he stopped behind him. He immediately snatched the silver from his hand and said coldly: "Your sister-in-law is unique. There is no one else in the world who can compare with her."

The rhythm of plucking the abacus was disrupted, and Hu Luanfei's ears felt hot, as if a firework had exploded in her heart, making her heart beat wildly like a mad deer.

The breeze blew, causing the green shadows of the bamboo forest to sway, bringing a hint of coolness.

She took a slow, deep breath, and waited until she had regained some composure before daring to raise her eyes.

Immediately, their eyes met.

Her face turned red and she lowered her head in panic, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?"

He admitted without hesitation, "I haven't seen it before, but I have now."

Several people who were counting the silver silently recounted the money, pretending not to know what disgusting words the general who had been so decisive and ruthless on the battlefield had just said.

The two of them displayed their affection as if no one was around, making the bachelors blush and feel too embarrassed to leave.

In the huge palace garden, only the couple were left.

"My Lord, I want to ask you for a favor."

She called herself "concubine" again. Qi Siliao had an idea in mind and glanced at her. "What's the matter?"

"Write a letter for me and send it to the Duke's Mansion, asking Jiang Huizhen to send the money to me immediately, otherwise I will cheat and take away all her business."

"Cheating to steal business?" He suddenly laughed softly, "If you really have this ability, I would be happy to work with you."

Hu Luan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want to stay in the capital. If I do business, Beiqiu can make more money. After Qi Sili's birthday, either you accompany me back to Taohua Village, or I go back by myself. You choose one."

She looked at him with a somewhat cautious expression, and he was silent for a moment, "Okay."

it is good?

Not saying to go back together, nor saying to let her go back alone, what can just "okay" express?
