Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 131-135

Chapter 131: Do You Want to Be the Son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Residence?

Huaxi Village.

Nangong Yi gazed at the crushed ice fruit in front of him, then at the basin filled with ice cubes, his eyes shining with excitement.

So, you could make ice cubes yourself.

And this crushed ice fruit, on such a scorching day, having a bowl of it was like a gift from the heavens to beat the heat.

As a legitimate businessman, he thought that making ice cubes could indeed be a good business opportunity.

But how should he approach Ru'er to discuss this matter?

He couldn't just take Ru'er's ice-making formula for free.

What if he offered to split the profits fifty-fifty?

Seeing Nangong Yi's absent-minded expression, Jiang Ru chuckled and said, "Uncle, please taste this. This crushed ice fruit is my invention!"

Nangong Yi snapped back to reality, picked up a small spoon, and took a bite to savor.

Well, leaving the crushed ice aside, even this fruit was something not everyone could afford.

Seeing a glimmer of interest in his eyes, Jiang Ru knew what her uncle was thinking.

"Uncle, I have many ways to make money here. Would you like to hear them?"

Nangong Yi, upon hearing this, quickly finished the bowl of fruit and ice and assumed a respectful posture.

"Uncle, once I read a book about gourmet cuisine, and the dishes in it were simply extraordinary..."

"And they are all signature dishes classified by season, such as summer cold dishes, barbecue... in winter, hot pot..." Jiang Ru couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Afterward, Jiang Ru didn't care if Nangong Yi understood or not; she just kept babbling on.

Xiao Chengjin, who was sitting beside Jiang Ru, grew increasingly unhappy as he listened.

Ru'er, these are the paths to our family's future wealth. Why are you telling everything to your uncle?

And this uncle of hers, he's really something. Can't he see that Ru'er is saying things he can't understand?

If Ru'er keeps going, his control over the economic lifeline of the Great Yan Dynasty will slip away.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Chengjin pulled at Jiang Ru's clothes in frustration.

Jiang Ru glanced at Xiao Chengjin and asked irritably, "What's wrong?"

This clueless man. Can't he see I'm on a roll here?

Xiao Chengjin poured a cup of tea, his gaze shifting as he said, "Ru'er, are you thirsty?" He placed the teacup at Jiang Ru's lips.

Jiang Ru replied, "I'm not thirsty."

Nangong Yi, for some reason, understood Xiao Chengjin's meaning.

He laughed heartily, in a good mood, and said, "Ru'er, luckily your uncle didn't understand what you were saying. Otherwise, I might have hit the jackpot quietly."

Those dishes Ru'er mentioned, he had never heard of them—hot pot, barbecue, various seasonings.

After hearing Nangong Yi's words, Jiang Ru suddenly understood Xiao Chengjin's intention.

This money-obsessed man!

"Uncle, it's okay if you don't understand. It's idle time for us. Let's study gourmet cuisine together."
