Chapter 205: 公开制冰方法？

[‘Publicizing the ice making method’?]

On the afternoon of the second day, Lu Yunluo checked the accounts books.

After doing some accounting, she found that all the silver earned by the small shop during her absence had been taken away by Concubine Yao.

This Concubine Yao really understands her.

Knowing that she, of all people, would definitely go after her for the silver.

This was trying by all means to provoke her anger ah.

If she didn’t give her some color or face, wouldn’t she be letting her down?

Directly calling on Yin Shuang, she prepared to go to the door to collect the debt.

The place where Consort Yao lived was right next door to her.

Usually, she could just casually go out, walk around the corner and run into her.

Walking over was just a matter of two steps.

“Why did Jie Jie think of coming here today?” Consort Yao was a little surprised to see Lu Yunluo at her door and hurriedly welcomed her out.

Lu Yunluo threw the account book in her hand to Concubine Yao with a look of exuberance, “Why I come here, you don’t know?”

Concubine Yao was first slightly stunned, then smiled lightly, “So Jie Jie, you came for the silver.”

“Jie Jie, don’t get angry first, sit down and let’s talk slowly.”

“Cai He, go make a pot of tea.”

“Yes!”

A long time later.

The two sat in the courtyard.

On the stone table was the tea that Cai He had just brewed.

“Jie Jie, this small shop or snack counter’s silver, I already submitted it to the Ministry of Revenue this morning. I’m afraid you don’t know yet, there’s a plague in Shang Yuan Prefecture, and now, the court is raising money for the disaster. We, as consorts, of course, should more or less help out.” Concubine Yao looked worried about the country. Those who didn’t know would think that she was donating her own silver.

“The finances are tight. I’ve promised the Ministry of Revenue that all the silver earned by the Cold Palace small shop daily will be turned in, as if it’s doing something for the people.” Without any pain and any tickles, Consort Yao had already helped Lu Yunluo to decide where her money would go.

The money donated was Lu Yunluo’s.

However the good reputation was Concubine Yao’s.

She didn’t believe that her money-loving Jie Jie wouldn’t be angry at all.

Sure enough, with these words down, Lu Yunluo on the opposite side was filled with anger, “What? You even donated all of my silver…? Mei Mei, you’ve gone too far!”

Concubine Yao hooked the corner of her mouth, picked up her cup and gently blew, “Jie Jie, but just a few hundred taels of silver, what is it compared to those common people in Shang Yuan State?”

“By the way, there’s another thing that I haven’t told Jie Jie yet, about the method of making ice in summer, I will make this method public using my name Bai Mu Yao, so that the people of Dong Lan State won’t have to be bothered by ice every summer in the future.”

Concubine Yao said lightly.

In those many days that she had lived in the Cold Palace, she had long since mapped out all of Jie Jie’s ice making methods and milk tea making recipes.

Like making ice in summer, if she announced it to the world, not only could she win the people’s goodwill and love, but she could also logically piss off (angered) Lu Yunluo.

As long as she was angered and made a scene.

She will have absolute certainty to drive this woman out of the Cold Palace. 

When the time comes, this woman would never want to be even remotely related to wheat again.

Sweeping her gaze across the room, she had already sensed Lu Yunluo’s extremely suppressed anger, which seemed to be ready to flare up at any moment.

Concubine Yao added another fire without slowing down, “The recipe of the milk tea might as well be made public together. Those high ranking and wealthy noblewomen, which one of their families is not a courtier who has done their best for the court? So, making it public is also considered as a treat from the court to them. This little thing, Jie Jie shouldn’t be bothered about it?”
