You Even Have Seafood Like This Here?

Of course, the primary function of the Imperial Household Department now is not to provide services for the royal family, but rather for Zhou Wanwan.

Currently, all the products produced in shops near the capital are supplied by the Imperial Household Department.

Of course, she also had her own thoughts; it wouldn't be good to really fall out with the capital now.

She needs time to expand her influence and solidify her foundation.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "Zhou Wanwan, you're really something! You've bribed all the experts in the palace. What are you planning to do?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "I don't want to do anything, just leave me alone."

If they hadn't bothered her, these people would have continued to stay by her side and collect their wages.

These experts are all elites they have trained. Sending them to the palace would allow them to earn two salaries, so why not?

Besides, they're doing quite well in the palace now, and as long as they don't go against Zhou Wanwan, they're very happy.

The Third Princess and the Seventh Princess were also quite dumbfounded. Just who was their master?

Then they saw the Great Qi walking over with more than a dozen scions of noble families.

The Great Qi looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, you're here too? Third Sister, Seventh Sister, aren't you ashamed?"

Come over here quickly, don't embarrass yourself here.

The third princess looked at him and said, "What's so shameful about it? I'm doing very well now, you don't need to worry about me."

The Great Qi scoffed coldly:

"You're shameless, Great Qi royal family still has a sense of shame!"

By serving as Zhou Wanwan's servants, you have disgraced the Great Qi Dynasty.

"Come here quickly, or I will definitely report this to my father."

The third princess rolled her eyes and said, "Go ahead and sue me! I'm not going back anyway, so why would I be afraid of you suing me?"

The Seventh Princess nodded and said, "I don't plan to go back either. From now on, I'll be my master's little follower. Wherever my master goes, I'll go."

The Great Qi rolled his eyes and said:

"You are princesses of the Great Qi, how can you follow such lowly people?"

She doesn't even deserve it! Don't you feel ashamed?

The third princess scoffed, "Shameful? What's shameful about it? We earn our money with our own hands, what's shameful about that?"

The second princess looked at the third and seventh princesses and said:

"Third Sister, Seventh Sister, don't be fooled by Zhou Wanwan's appearance. She's not a good person."

Moreover, you will still have to rely on your father to get married in the future. If you really follow Zhou Wanwan, you will only be able to marry servants.

"It would be fun if they had a whole litter of slaves."

The Third Princess looked at the Second Princess and said:

"Your mother and the Crown Prince's mother are Noble Consort Murong, so it will be easy for you to get married. You will marry into noble families and aristocratic households."

Women like us, who lost our mothers, all married sons of low-ranking noble families.

It's better to be this carefree.

The second princess covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Third Sister is quite self-aware. If you're willing to be servants, then stay by her side as servants!"

I'd like to see how far you all end up.

After the second princess finished speaking, she turned and left.

Zhou Wanwan looked coldly at the Second Princess and said, "What's with the arrogance?"

The Third Princess sneered, "You were playing the role of a caring older sister in front of us before! Now you're not pretending anymore?"

The Seventh Princess sighed and said:

"My second sister has always been like this. If it weren't for the black mark on her face, no one would want to play with her."

Why would she willingly pretend to be a caring older sister and play with us?

The Third Princess snorted coldly and said, "Hypocritical! Just like her mother, one way in front of others, another way behind their backs."

Zheng Xing'an walked over and said, "Master, it's time for lunch."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "I am indeed hungry."

Zheng Xing'an brought the dishes over. It was an outdoor setting with a table and a few chairs.

More than 20 dishes were laid out on the table, all of which looked and smelled delicious.

Everyone around looked over and said, "Wow, what a feast! This six-year-old girl is eating so well!"

"See that? There are sea fish too! What kind of fish is that?"

Zheng Xing'an began by introducing:

"This is a yellow croaker from the Eastern Sea."

"A top-quality, prized sea fish, with succulent flesh, and its swim bladder is a rare treasure."

Someone couldn't help but ask:

You actually have seafood like this here?

"We live inland, thousands of miles from the Dahai, how can we possibly eat this kind of seafood?"

The other person nodded repeatedly and said:

"Sea fish rot very easily when out of water. How much will be lost during the long journey to the inland areas?"

This fish must be ridiculously expensive!

Zheng Xing'an replied, "Our fish are indeed quite rare, but the price is also quite cheap; such a fish costs only five taels of silver."

Shangguan Wan'er sneered:

"Good heavens, five taels of silver! And you call that cheap? How cheap can it be?"

In the capital, this dish would probably only cost two taels of silver!

Zhou Wanwan said:

"You know it's in the capital? The capital is very close to the sea."

This is the border region; transporting seafood here is extremely costly.

Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! That's just sophistry. You just want to make money, why make so many excuses?"

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly:

"What excuse could I possibly have? Of course I want to make money."

But I never make money against my conscience; food delivery is indeed very convenient!

Someone said, "Oh, so these are all takeout orders! Does that mean we can order takeout too?"

Someone said, "Of course! They have people there who specialize in delivery! If you want to eat, you can go there and order."

Sure enough, I saw a stall with two words written on it, "Takeout".

This place is remote, and everywhere you look there is yellow sand.

Someone saw the stall and asked, "How long will it take?"

The person at the stall said, "It'll be quick, delivered within half an hour."

"It can be delivered in half an hour."

"Really? You can deliver in half an hour?"

"I'd like to order a few dishes: braised pork belly, steamed sea bass, hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised sea cucumber with mushrooms, stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots..."

"I'd like a seaweed and egg drop soup, steamed grouper, stir-fried fresh prawns, braised duck feet, and braised wild pheasant."

I wonder what this grouper tastes like? I've never eaten sea fish before!

"These are all rare items. Why are these lobsters so expensive? They cost 10 taels of silver per serving."

I'd like a serving of steamed prawns with garlic, steamed blue crab, braised sea cucumber, braised chicken with chestnuts, and a bowl of West Lake beef soup.

Those who can come to the War God's Tomb are all prominent figures.

Zhou Wanwan likes fat sheep like this.

In less than half an hour, tables of dishes were brought over, and even tables were prepared for them.

They even provided tableware.

Everyone was stunned.

Then I heard the waiter say:

"Dear guests, this is the first time you have enjoyed a meal at my home."

So our master has brought everyone a pot of wine, a pot of drinks, and a fruit platter. Please enjoy.
