After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister Chapter 262

    Miss Du Er has made progress in the past two years, she has become independent and self-reliant, and is responsible for entertaining guests.

    As for Mrs. Du, she said she was ill, never showed up, and did not even attend the palace banquet.

    When everyone sees it, they can't understand it, but who would dare to ask more.

    This is not only a double hero, Du Shuai is also the emperor's uncle and the queen mother's brother.

    Miss Du Er just finished her busy schedule and was invited by the Royal Technical School to be the Dean of Education, mainly responsible for the daily life of girls.

    Coeducational school will encounter various problems, male teachers are more careless, and do not understand the psychology of women.

    Mu Wanqing is too busy, most of her energy is devoted to business affairs, and it is impossible to be thoughtful everywhere.

    Miss Du Er is different, she has relevant experience, she is soft on the outside and firm on the inside, she is the emperor's cousin, and the relationship is hard, no one dares to offend her.

    She is not afraid of offending people, so many problems are easily solved.

    The children of the Du family are a little younger, but they entered the school successfully with the special approval of the emperor.

    With Miss Du here, she can also take care of her at close range, killing two birds with one stone.

    Miss Du Er's office is next to Mu Wanqing, and it is also a bright and dark pattern. The outside is the office, and the inside is the lounge. If the weather is bad, she will temporarily live in the office.

    Mu Wanqing would occasionally come to the door, "Is the second sister still adapting to life here in the capital? What about the children?"

    "It's all good." Miss Du Er was bright and rosy, "My children and I like school very much."

    The children went to Mujia Academy before, the rhythm is the same as that of the technical school, so they adapt well and can keep up with their homework.

    Their treatment is compared to the two princesses. They have separate rooms, which are convenient for opening a small stove. This is the grace of the emperor to Du Shuaifu.

    No one dares to be dissatisfied;

    Actually, the Du family's children all have a place in the Imperial College Enyin, and there is nothing wrong with not going to the Imperial College.

    Mu Wanqing is very curious about Madam Du's situation, but it is not convenient to ask more.

    In the early morning, Mu Wanqing handed over a booklet, and the emperor was very happy after reading it.

    "Kapok is popularized all over the country, Xiliang alone harvests 100,000 kapok, the other three places are around 80,000, and Jiangnan is the best, around 120,000, these four Add up to 400,000 horses, good, very good, Qingping County Lord, you should take the lead."

    These cotton cloths are cheap and high quality, and ordinary people can afford them.

    Of course, by building this industry, it has fed countless people, comforted the hearts of the people, and made those people who suffered from war see hope.

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "It is the result of the concerted efforts of officials of the Kapok Lifting Department and the people from all over the country, the emperor's leadership, and the coordination of the households."

    She complimented her up and down, everyone felt at ease, but other departments were jealous.

    This kapok is of great significance and is destined to make Mu Wanqing famous in history.

    Mu Wanqing was not finished yet, she took out a wooden box and took out bottles and jars.

    "Your Majesty, these are condiments..."

     Before she could finish her words, the second assistant said coldly, "Condiments? Cooking? Qingping County Lord, don't you want to show your cooking skills in the court? I have long heard that your cooking skills are extraordinary, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity to taste your own dishes.”

    This person just said something sour, but Mu Wanqing didn't take him seriously.

    Mu Wanqing ignored him, didn't even look at him, and said something wrong.

    "This is oyster sauce, the raw material is raw consumption in the sea. This is fish sauce, the raw material is small fish and shrimp, this is seafood soy sauce, these three things will become delicious as long as they are added to the dish. Incomparable."

    "This is hoisin sauce and shrimp paste, salty and delicious. It can be used for cooking bibimbap, noodles and steamed buns. It is a must-have for home and travel."

    "This is fish floss, which is processed from fish meat. It is suitable for all ages. It can supplement nutrition for frail children and patients."

    She introduced those bottles and jars in the same way, and the eyes of everyone who listened were straight.

    None of them are stupid, and it makes sense to hear this.

    Mu Wanqing came up with new tricks again, how did her brain grow? This is a new achievement.

    Can you give me some credit this time?

    No matter what Mu Wanqing thought in their hearts, "This is dried shrimp and seaweed. It is delicious and nutritious. It can improve aging and reduce blood lipids."

    "This is the raw and pickled red paste drunk crab pieces. It is a must with white porridge, which makes people unforgettable."

    “These are small snacks, squid slices, dried small fish, dried cod slices, crispy fish, etc. They are delicious and delicious, and I want to eat them again.”

     "The above are all the results that I have tested at the seaside, please review the emperor."

    The emperor smiled and picked up a bottle of shrimp paste to take a closer look, "Qingping County Lord, how do you try it? You make a charter and let everyone try it."

    "Good." Mu Wanqing answered happily.

    The people who called the imperial dining room, Mu Wanqing instructed them one by one.

    Next, the courtiers were a little absent-minded and had expectations.

    At noon, the emperor will have dinner.

    Du Shaoxuan did not go to the morning court, but the emperor did not forget this cousin and called him to have dinner together.

    A plate of fish floss, a plate of raw and pickled red paste drunk crab, a bowl of white porridge, a white noodle steamed bun and two small plates of sauce, it is shabby.

    The Minister of War does not like to drink bland white porridge, but he does not dare to be picky on such occasions.

    Reluctantly, she took a mouthful of white porridge, holding her chopsticks against Yusong, eh, not bad.

    I took another piece of drunken crab with red paste, and I was immediately amazed, fresh!

    The delicious taste spread in his mouth, but it was a little salty, so he quickly took a mouthful of white porridge. It perfectly neutralized the salty taste, and came a crit on the palate.

    This is too delicious. I never knew that white porridge could be so delicious with these two things.

    Sure enough, it's not that the porridge is bad, it's that he can't eat it!

    The Minister of Punishment on the side likes to eat steamed bread with white noodles, but if he eats too much, he will get tired. He wants to stock up on a few bottles.

    Well, when it comes to eating, Qingping County is the most proficient.

    Du Shaoxuan had finished eating, raised his hand and shouted, "Your Majesty, this amount is too small, can you have another serving?"

    The food is delicious, but how can this amount be enough?

    The emperor waved his hand, "Continue to serve."

    It is a bowl of steaming fresh meat ravioli, with seaweed, small shrimp and mustard, two drops of sesame oil, and the aroma is tangy.

    Looking at the small wontons with all the colors and flavors, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

    Mu Wanqing likes to eat fresh meat ravioli very much, so she picks up the spoon and eats it.

    The waiter of the Ministry of Industry took a bite and was a little surprised, "This little wonton stuffing is so delicious, what did you add?"

    The person in the imperial kitchen explained softly, "Added oyster sauce and seafood soy sauce."

    "This soup is also very fresh, is it chicken soup?"

    The people in the imperial dining room smiled, "No, it's the umami inspired by seaweed and small shrimp and mustard."

    "I usually add some hot water to make a bowl of seaweed soup, which is very convenient and simple."

    Everyone was very excited, and usually the yamen at home can prepare some and eat them at any time. "Is it expensive?"

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "A bag of seaweed is twenty cents, and small shrimp is forty cents."

    Shoufu was shocked, "So cheap?"

    "Small profits but quick turnover." Mu Wanqing pointed to the bag on the table, "These snacks are expensive, everyone can try them."

    Snacks are sold to a group of people who have money and spare time. Ordinary people are good enough to eat. How can they have spare money to buy snacks?

    Everyone tried each one, and voted for whichever one was good, and gave a taste evaluation.

    The highest rated squid is shredded squid, which is loved by almost everyone.

    Mu Wanqing was full after eating a bowl of small wontons, "Your Majesty, every family by the sea invests in making these, and they should be able to get rid of poverty soon. The government should build a workshop by the sea."

    The emperor knew that Mu Wanqing was tinkering with this, but the dazzling variety still shocked him.

    "What do you guys think?"

    Shoufu thought about it, "I think it can be directly merged into the Salt Division, which will reduce personnel expenses."

    Mu Wanqing has a different opinion, "I suggest setting up a seafood promotion department to manage this business alone. If you do it well, this industry will be no worse than official salt, and it will not only drive the seaside Poverty alleviation in villages and towns can also benefit relevant industry personnel.”

    When everyone has spare money, it is natural to pursue the quality of life.

    With a little guidance, these condiments and seafood will sell well.

    The emperor saw another profitable line forming, not to mention how happy he was, "You all write a memorial."

    "Yes."

    After the meeting was over, Mu Wan was surrounded by people.

    "Qingping County Lord, do you still have that fish floss? My 80-year-old mother definitely likes it." There is no fishy smell, and it is extremely soft.

    "I want seaweed and small shrimps. My child is studying in Guozijian, and let him eat a bowl of hot soup."

    Everyone rolled their eyes and said that the children were not allowed to eat in Guozijian.

    "I sell those snacks to me, and the children at home love to try them."

    "I like that raw pickled red paste drunk crab nuggets, I have never eaten something so fresh."

    "Give me a portion of all kinds of condiments, that's it."

    Mu Wanqing didn't expect them to be so anxious, "I don't have much..."

    Just knowing that the amount is not much, everyone is anxious, for fear of being robbed.

    It doesn't matter if you don't eat it, but when you eat it, it's unbearable and unforgettable.

    Du Shaoxuan pulled away the crowd with great effort, "What is this for? Don't stand in the door, Wanqing, let's go."

    The two ran out of the palace and sat in the carriage, Mu Wanqing suddenly felt amused, "Pfft haha."

    Du Shaoxuan also smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."

    "Where?"

    "You'll know when you go." Du Shaoxuan sold out.

    Du Shaoxuan took her to the palace of Xiliang, he prefers to live here, quiet and no one cares.

    He took people to the garden and pointed to a small field full of plants, "The plants I brought from Xiliang, some of which I don't even know what they are, make people grow blindly, Forgot to tell you, do you see if there are any good things like kapok?"

    Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, "Did you buy it from Hu Shang?"

    "Yes." This is already a fashion in the upper circles of Xiliang. "Everyone is planting, although they don't know what they are planting."

    "Pfft." Mu Wanqing was amused. Although she left Xiliang, there are still legends about her. "Things like kapok are hard to come by, how can you come across them from time to time..."

    Her voice stopped abruptly, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, pointed to a few plants, "This is..."
