Chapter 88 : Cold Palace’s Convenience Store officially opens for business

“Niang Niang, spare my life! I didn’t know your identity before, so please forgive me for this servant’s bastard behavior before!”

Lu Yunluo immediately swept a cold glance at Eunuch Cheng, “Of course I can forgive, however, you have to give me Nǚ’érhóng (kind of chinese wine) from your courtyard that has been buried for twenty years to this Ben Gong to make amends!”

“Your Highness don’t worry, I’ll let someone…” As Eunuch Cheng said this, suddenly his body gave a start. Not right ah! He buried it under the tree, a jar of twenty years old wine, only he himself who knows ah, how did this Niang Niang know?

Could it be…

Thinking of this, Eunuch Cheng’s heart suddenly jerked.

He trembled and tentatively asked, “Your Highness, is that wine….”

“Naturally, it was dug out by me a long time ago. Xiao Li Zi, it tastes good,right?” Lu Yunluo smilingly looked at Xiao Li Zi who was beside her. 

Xiao Li Zi’s face reddened by Lu Yun Luo’s gaze, lowered his head in embarrassment and touched his head.

With this appearance of him, Eunuch Cheng naturally understood that his wine had long been divided up between these two people.

He was so angry that he reached out to hit Xiao Li Zi’s head.

This guy, even dare to steal his wine to drink?

That was the wine he had treasured for twenty years!

“Master, please don’t hit me, it was Niang Niang who told me to dig.” Xiao Li Zi dodged as he said.

“How dare you put the blame on Niang Niang, let’s see how I’m going to punish you properly when we get back today!” Eunuch Cheng glared at Xiao Li Zi angrily. 

He even pushed all the blame onto Niang Niang, because he can’t do anything about Niang Niang right now, isn’t it?

It was true that he couldn’t do anything about Niang Niang, but he had plenty of ways to deal with this brat!

He’s been burying that wine for twenty years!

He didn’t know since when it was gone!

Eunuch Cheng suddenly really wanted to cry. This Xiao Lu Zi, no, this Niang Niang is too ruthless!

After such a mess, Eunuch Cheng finally understood why Niang Niang didn’t make fuss over it with him, it was because ‘this Niang Niang’ had also bullied him quite a lot before!

Thinking of that jar of aged wine that had been put away for twenty years, Eunuch Cheng’s heart ached extraordinarily.

Lu Yunluo saw Eunuch Cheng’s look as if he wanted to get angry yet he did not dare to get angry. The corner of his mouth hooked up a light smile before then he brought up their purpose for coming this time, “I heard Yin Shuang said that you guys are here to learn to make steamed buns. Yin Shuang’s steamed buns, she made it quite well. You guys go and learn how to make it with her ba.”

“Many thanks, Your Highness!”

Days went by like this unhurriedly for many days.

After plowing more than three hundred acres of wasteland, the wheat had all been planted into the ground, a total of about two hundred acres. There were people patrolling and watching over it twenty-four hours a day.

After planting the land, apart from watering it, most people started to be idle.

Lu Yunluo transferred all these people to the gourmet food department.

Those who were idle all started making cold drinks.

The moulds for forming the cold drinks, as well as the small wooden sticks, and the paper for wrapping the cold drinks were all ordered by the Imperial Household Department and sent back.

These are not part of the imperial palace’s daily expenses, therefore, Lu Yunluo is the one who used her own money to buy it.

After teaching the crowd the method of making cold drinks, everyone found it unbelievable.

It was amazing that stones could make ice cubes as soon as they touched water. This was simply too amazing.

Moreover, this kind of stone is not just  your usual stone, it must be a kind of stone that is unique in the Cold Palace land, and then think of the wheat that produces ten dan per acre. Everyone felt that this place, the Cold Palace, is too magical.

Lu Yunluo knocked down part of the wall outside the Cold Palace. It’s been converted into a few small shops. One of them has already been renovated. It will be used as the Cold Palace’s kiosk, specializing in retailing all kinds of food produced by the gourmet food department.

‘Cold Palace Small Convenience Store’ wooden plate was hung, this small shop attached to Cold Palace is officially open for business.
