Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 402 The Su Family's New Recipe

The Ninth Prince was back at the center of power for a while, and everyone started to fawn on him again. But this time he was very clear-headed and had thought clearly about what he wanted.

But he only knew it in his heart and couldn't show it. He wanted to get out of this unscathed, but he also had to make sure that no one else was hurt. He couldn't get out of this by himself, and then he couldn't even save his own life. This was not what he wanted.

After coming back this time, he felt more and more that his father was in that position, seemingly glorious and at the pinnacle of power. In the court, he was also subject to the constraints of various forces, and even in the harem, he needed to balance, and he could not do whatever he wanted.

Sometimes, they were not as free as the princes, because at least when they got into trouble, they had their father and mother to support them. But they had nowhere to hide and had to rely on themselves for everything.

Those difficult problems had to be carefully considered and decided upon. Once a mistake was made, thousands of people would suffer, or even the city would be destroyed.

He didn't want to live this kind of life. He just wanted to be a free and easy prince who could contribute to the country, but he was not willing to devote himself to it.

Everyone yearns for this right, but who knows that it is a double-edged sword. While it allows you to enjoy the infinite glory it brings, it also makes you bear the fate of millions of people in this country.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The safety of the country is the responsibility of the people, and they can also destroy the country when their lives become hopeless.

Now the big families control the government, their hands have stretched too far, all kinds of corruption are rampant in this country. The collusion between officials and businessmen has made the people miserable, and those corrupt officials want to tax even breathing.

The lives of ordinary people were hovering on the edge of starvation. This trip to the border town allowed him to see that the court was flourishing, while the people were suffering. If he were in that position, would he also be blinded by these people and not see anything?

Rather than being an emperor like that, it is better to be an idle prince in his own fiefdom, at least he can guarantee the safety of the people. He can always take care of that small area. He now knows that he can't be a wise ruler.

Let his brothers fight for that position and see who is qualified. His father is still in his prime and can definitely train his next king.

He had little chance of winning in the first place. His mother was only a royal concubine, and above her there was the empress and her family, as well as other royal concubines and their families. With so many competitors, he believed that he might not win.

He probably couldn't realize his mother's great ideals for her. After returning to the capital, he devoted himself to developing his own business empire. With money, he could do many things according to his wishes.

Shopkeeper Wu also received the pigeon message immediately and continued to cooperate with the Su family and maintain a good relationship between the two parties. Fu Man Lou also opened branches all over the country in a flourishing manner.

The fate of the servants was tied to that of their master, and they shared the same fate. He also tried his best to consider his master and make the business prosperous.

Seeing Su He and his friends coming, he was very excited. He wondered what good ideas they could bring this time. Whenever Su He and his friends came to visit him, he was never disappointed.

As expected, Brother Su took out a new recipe from his pocket, which was actually a modern Henan dish called "Si Bao Tao". First, the best whole ducks, chickens, pigeons and quails were put together, the internal organs were cleaned, and each was made into a cloth bag shape, with layers of layers inside, and the shape was complete. The stomach of each bird was stuffed with sea cucumbers, mushrooms, ham and other ingredients.
