Chapter 662: Guaranteed Best-Seller

roidery skill when I was a young girl at home. My mother hired a master for me.""After marrying into the Zong family, my mother-in-law thought I was hiding in the house embroidering to shirk my duties..."Ayu, please ask Young Master Fu to get out of the car."

Fang Jinshu had a ruthless expression on her face. As Zong Yu just stood up, Fu Ming panicked.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Miss Zong, I know you're going to Mùzhōu to buy grain, but Mùzhōu is not like Luoshui, a small county town. The business associations there have complex and intertwined power struggles. Grain, such an important resource, is almost entirely controlled by prominent noble families."

And Mutou also has a prince in charge. On the surface, all matters big and small in Mutou are governed by the magistrate. In reality, the true power lies with this prince.

If you want to buy more food in Muzhou, you'll definitely need this prince's approval. If he doesn't approve, no one dares to sell you large amounts of food.

"As it happens, I happen to have some acquaintance with that Wangye."

At this point, Fu Ming’s face was lit with a hint of pride.

As long as he goes to Muchu, Fang Jinshi will definitely have a request of him. At that time, he can bring up the matter of asking her to return to Beijing to see his mother's illness. Maybe there's a chance.

However, doing so would risk exposing his whereabouts.

Fang Jinshu waved her hand, letting Zong Yu sit back down. She stared at Fu Ming, thoughtfully, and after a while, she spoke.

"How close are Master Fu and that Wang Ye"

She is going to stockpile a lot of supplies this time, her actions won't be small, she will definitely attract the attention of the government.

If I could cultivate a relationship with the leader of Muzhou, perhaps this trip to stockpile supplies would go much more smoothly.

"I thought about it for a moment," Fu Ming said, "I'm the son of an old friend of King Jing'an. Our families have been friends with the king's family for generations."

Fang Jinshu smiled slightly.

Fu Ming's identity had added a few more points of verification in her heart. As an acquaintance of the royal family, it was unlikely that he was directly related to them as his nephew.

"Well, acquaintances, that friendship is indeed quite good."

Fang Jinshu looked as if she understood, but kept her thoughts to herself. She nodded in agreement with Fu Ming's suggestion.

"Alright then, this trip we'll just have to squeeze up with Young Master Fu."

Zong Yu's face wasn't looking too good, but Fu Ming didn't notice. Seeing Fang Jinxiu agree to let him go with them, he happily nodded.

"Thank you, Lady Zong!"

"Don't worry, this young master will never cause you any trouble!"

Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow, how could she believe this

After the carriage left Luoshui County.

"Shen Li, Shen Li, young master wants to have some tea."

"Shen Li, this rations is frozen solid and my teeth hurt! This young master can't eat it!"

"Shen Li!"

Fang Jinshi closed her eyes, the tendons on her forehead suddenly tightened.

"Be quiet!"

She knew that saying anything along the way wouldn't prevent them from causing any trouble, it was all nonsense!

Fu Ming jumped in fright, the dry, cold steamed bun in his hand almost rolled away.

Shen Li's voice sounded outside.

"Master, please bear with me for a little while. We've just left Luoshui, and when we reach the next resting place, I'll borrow some charcoal to warm up the steamed buns."

Fu Ming clutched the steamed bun in his hand, though wronged he didn't continue to make unreasonable demands.

Only my stomach let out an honest rumble.

Fang Jinxiu helplessly pushed her forehead. The young master was pampered and had never experienced hunger. She worried that if he endured until the next resting point, he might faint from starvation.

"Shen Li, stop the car."

"Find a sheltered spot nearby."

Shen Li tightened the reins and hurriedly thanked Fang Jinshi.

Fu Ming sheepishly lowered his head, "I've caused trouble for Miss Zong."

Fang Jinxiu turned her head away from him, feeling exasperated. She really had to give Shen Li credit - dealing with such a master was no easy feat.

After a while, Shen Li found a place. It was an abandoned shack, luckily half the roof was still intact, so it should be able to keep out wind and snow.

Zongyu gathered some firewood and slowly built up the fire. Outside, it was still snowing heavily and so cold that even if a person could endure it and continue on their journey, the horse wouldn't be able to.

Fang Jinxiu's decision to stop wasn't just for Fu Ming.

She took out a small stove and threw in a frozen concentrated soup pouch. This was something she had made with Zongyu the night before she left.

Only now that the weather is cold can it freeze into shape and be carried outside on a carriage.

The icy-like thick broth Bao melted rapidly in the boiling water, and the aroma of meat instantly filled the air.

Fu Ming felt his stomach growl louder, "Lady Zong, what is this"

"This is pre-made meat broth frozen into small cubes. It’s convenient for when you're on the go and can't cook or hunt."

She crumbled some meat into it, and finally sprinkled on some freeze-dried chopped scallions. Paired with the soft, baked flatbread and steamed buns, it was quite flavorful.

Fu Ming took a sip of the soup and almost had his teeth knocked out by its intense flavor.

I'm increasingly convinced that the decision to stick with Fang Jinshui, even if it means being stubborn, was the right one.

"So delicious, so delicious!"

"If this could be made normally, it would definitely sell well!"g the drama unfold without saying a word.Actually, he saw that Zhao Xingzhou liked Fang Shenyi. It's just, this was clearly a hopeless situation. Zhao Xingzhou's thoughts and actions were completely s...
