Although the freshly steamed mantou was still very hot, Yuan Tiangang could no longer care about this. He only felt that his taste buds had already exploded in his mouth!

This softness, this wonderful sweetness, this completely non-sour texture... Everything rushed over Yuan Tiangang's senses, almost making him tear up!

"Delicious! It's so delicious!" Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but exclaim," I've never eaten such delicious steamed buns!”

Although he was one of Li Shiming's most valued Imperial Preceptor and a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, he had eaten many delicacies. However, today's experience was unprecedented.

Compared to the steamed buns made by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what the hell was the staple food he used to eat?

Was that still for humans to eat?

"Now Lord Yuan knows what this king was talking about?”Li You said with a smile.

" Your Highness, you can just call me Tiangang," Yuan Tiangang said with a smile." This steamed bun is big, soft, and sweet. I really can't think of a good way to describe it, but it's definitely so delicious that it almost shook my belief!”

Then, Yuan Tiangang asked curiously,"But Your Highness, how did you rely on those alchemy materials to turn the rotten into the magical and create such delicious steamed buns?”

Li You smiled mysteriously and said,"Well, it's not worth telling outsiders."”

Yuan Tiangang's expression turned solemn when he heard that, thinking to himself, could it be that this was some kind of secret technique that could turn stone into gold?

If that was the case, it could also explain why no one had ever done this before, but only His Highness knew about this method that even he did not know about.

Li You didn't know that Yuan Tiangang was starting to let his imagination run wild again. He asked,"By the way, Tiangang, do you think my Li's Mantou can be sold in Chang 'an?”

Li You's idea was to start from the people's food!

Since ancient times, the food industry had been profitable. No matter how times changed, the people still had to eat!

Therefore, Li You was confident that his epoch-making Li Ji Mantou would definitely be very popular. However, to be safe, Li You decided to ask Yuan Tiangang first.

Who knew that Yuan Tiangang's first reaction after hearing this was to be shocked.

"You mustn't do that, Your Highness! If you were only cooking in your own residence, then it would be fine. But if others knew that you were even doing business yourself, then it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Chu royal residence!”

In ancient China, the status of merchants had never been high. They were only considered second-class citizens.

In the eyes of the world, if a prince went into business, it was no different from being demoted to a lowly status!

" Of course I know this, so I won't reveal my name to sell it," Li You said." But in my heart, there is no distinction between high and low occupations. Just tell me what you think of the sales."”

Yuan Tiangang was speechless for a long time. He felt that His Highness King Chu's view was really different.

Perhaps, this was the special thing about the chosen ones?

" It's not an exaggeration to say that the quality of Your Highness 'steamed buns is the best in the world," Yuan Tiangang said after thinking for a while." Naturally, they can be sold."”

"That's good."

Li You nodded and then instructed the servants,"Go out now and find the busiest post stations and restaurants on the streets of Chang 'an. Tell them that you have business to discuss with them.”

"Your Highness, if you don't intend to reveal your name, then why would these courier stations and restaurants agree to help sell other people's things for no reason?" Yuan Tiangang asked curiously.”

"As long as it's profitable, why not?" Li You smiled. If we work together, he has a market, and I have the secret recipe. Every time we sell a steamed bun, we'll share a portion of the money with him. Why wouldn't they be happy?”

Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment and came to a realization.

"That's indeed the case. In this cooperation, all they need to do is provide a way to sell it, and then they can sit back and wait for the money to be collected. It can be said to be beneficial without any harm.”

Li You looked at Yuan Tiangang with some surprise. In this era of underdeveloped commerce, Yuan Tiangang had figured it out with just one sentence. It seemed that Yuan Tiangang was indeed very capable.

" However, I still don't understand one thing," Yuan Tiangang said." Since the quality of the steamed buns has reached a certain level, why didn't Your Highness ask the servants to sell them themselves? Instead, why did you give the money to the courier station and the restaurant?"”

" Let me ask you, if the Chu royal residence can assign ten people to sell steamed buns, and each person can sell a hundred steamed buns a day, how much profit can I make from the steamed buns?”

Facing Li You's irrelevant answer, Yuan Tiangang calmed his mind and said without hesitation," Of course it's a thousand steamed buns."

Yuan Tiangang's directorate of celestials had high requirements for mathematics, so this question was a piece of cake for him.

Li You smiled and asked," If I use the courier stations and restaurants to sell the steamed buns and split half of the profits, assuming that there are 100 courier stations and restaurants in Chang 'an, each of which can sell 100 steamed buns a day, how much profit can I get in the end?"”

Yuan Tiangang was just about to speak when he was stunned.

"Five…five thousand!"

"Yes, that's right." Li You explained," All the goods need to be sold, and the most important thing is the sales volume. There are a lot of people coming and going every day, and there are a lot of stations and restaurants. They will definitely be able to sell far more steamed buns than I can sell with the servants of the Chu royal residence!”

" In other words, even if I have to distribute half of the profits from the ten thousand steamed buns, I will still get five times the profit that I made in the same day!”

When Li You said this, Yuan Tiangang had already completely understood. He looked at Li You in disbelief.

"His Highness Chu has clearly lived in the palace all this time. How can he be so proficient in this Dao?! Could it be that there were really people born with knowledge in this world?”
