Under Empress Dowager Hua Yang's curious gaze, Ye Yu slowly opened the brocade box and saw that it was actually Snow Candy!
It was the white sugar in the modern world.
In the Warring States Period, sugar was a rarity. Only the royal family was qualified to enjoy the syrup.
This was because the syrup could only be extracted from honey.
As for the stone honey, which was solid cane sugar, it was something that the aristocratic families could enjoy.
As for the coarse brown sugar that was made by decomposing stone honey and mixing it with other desserts, it was something that the wealthy families in the seven countries could sell for money.
As for the poor, they definitely wouldn't be able to eat it.
A rare item like candy, to a certain extent, showed the division of classes in the Warring States Period.
"It's delicious. How about you try it?”
Ye Yu handed the brocade box to the lady.
Empress Dowager Hua Yang subconsciously licked her red lips and said,""Sorry for being rude."
After saying that.
Empress Dowager Hua Yang dipped her finger in a little sugar and put it into her mouth…
"Yes! It's sweet and melts in the mouth. It's sweet and not greasy, and it looks good. Teacher, what kind of candy is this?？”
"You can call it frosting or snow candy.”
The corners of Ye Yu's mouth curled up, and then he said,""Does your wife think that if we mass produce this and sell it to the whole country, we can make a fortune?”
" This isn't just a huge profit!?"
Empress Dowager Hua Yang's first reaction was to say,""If the Headmaster really has a way to mass produce such snow candy, then this business can't only be done in the State of Qin. Moreover, the price has to be doubled and sold to the six countries in Shandong. At that time, the Headmaster of Academy would definitely become the biggest merchant in the Seven Kingdoms!”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang was indeed the most powerful person in Great Qin, and her power far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Was it her style to only do business in one country?
Doing business in the world was in line with her identity as Empress Dowager Hua Yang.
Otherwise, she might as well spend her time admiring the flowers in the harem every day.
When Ye Yu heard this, he immediately looked at the noble lady in front of him in a new light.
"Sure! Women are not inferior to men! This old man only wanted to do business in the State of Qin, but you have already set your goal on the world.”
"Headmaster, you flatter me. It was just a sudden flash of inspiration.”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang saw that Ye Yu was praising her so much, so she quickly resumed her dignified and elegant posture.
Shy and shy, Yingying was weak…
She also felt that it was better not to expose her identity.
She still needed to investigate the identity and background of this mysterious and capable teacher.
In addition, if this snow candy was handled well, it would indeed be more profitable than Xuan paper.
The Qi Kingdom was backed by the sea and was founded on salt. It became the wealthiest existence among the Seven Kingdoms.
Now that Great Qin was producing snow candies and selling them to the six countries in Shandong, they might be able to compete with the Qi Kingdom in terms of wealth!
Thinking of this, even with Empress Dowager Hua Yang's temperament, she could not hide her excitement!!
The Headmaster was really the God of Fortune of the State of Qin!
"Hehe, it's fine. Originally, this old man felt that working with a woman was a little uneasy, but now it seems that this old man was overthinking. You're not bad.”
Ye Yu expressed that the more he looked at the noble lady in front of him, the more satisfied he was. If he was younger...
At this moment.
A figure suddenly appeared at the door!
This person was already in his seventies. Even though he was wearing cotton clothes, he still revealed a martial aura!
That's right!
The person who came was Meng Ao, who wanted to become sworn brothers with Ye Yu!
At this moment.
Meng Ao's eyes were wide open like copper bells. What was going on?
Was he seeing things?
Or was he hallucinating?
Great Qin's Empress Dowager Huayang had actually appeared here?
Empress Dowager Hua Yang had not left the palace for nearly ten years since the late king passed away.
Even the annual ancestral worship was hosted by Xia Ji and Empress Dowager Xia.
But now, the most powerful woman in the palace seemed to have made a gesture of biting her finger.
What was he doing?
She had become a little woman in front of the person she loved!
Could it be…
The Empress Dowager was having an affair?
Heavens!
Meng Ao expressed that his worldview was about to be overturned. Forget about Lady Zhao, why did Empress Dowager Hua Yang also…fall?？？
“……”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang was also shocked.
She had been discovered by Meng Ao.
In the Imperial Court, there were many people who had never even seen her face, and Meng Ao was one of the foreign officials who were most familiar with her.
What should he do now?
Could she continue hiding her identity?
"Uh…Is he here for you?"
Ye Yu felt a strange atmosphere!
It felt a little strange.
However, there was nothing between him and this noble lady, and he felt that he had a clear conscience.
However…
This old warrior in front of her really didn't match up with her at all!
"Oh."
Madam Hua Yang sorted out her emotions and quickly said calmly,""This is the old butler of the clan. Something must have happened in the residence, so he came to call me back.”
Meng Ao: "???"
Old butler?
Strictly speaking, Meng Ao was like Great Qin's old butler, while Empress Dowager Hua Yang was Great Qin's mistress. This was a very vivid comparison!
Concealing his identity…
Now it seemed that Empress Dowager Hua Yang had really fallen!
