I have the best bloodline

Of course, this is just talk now. Su Yan hasn't even produced a product yet. Whether it will succeed depends on whether the product can be sold. If it sells well, Su Yan can naturally expand production capacity directly.

"This is the sponge cake you were talking about."

In the afternoon, the clever monkeys who had been waiting in front of the kiln finally brought out the finished sponge cakes.

On a ceramic plate sits a cake covered in mulberry juice cream, with a spoon beside it.

The fox mother looked at the cake but didn't take a bite. After pondering for a while, she commented, "The color is really ugly; I have absolutely no desire to eat it."

"I even think it might be poisonous."

Mulberries turn bluish-purple when ripe, but they are also very sweet. Since the monkey couldn't find any sweet and sour fruit, he could only mash some unripe fruit into a jam and add it to the cream.

Therefore, the cake has an unevenly distributed purplish-blue color on the outside, which makes it unappetizing at first glance.

But seeing the little fox's filial piety and the expectant look on its face, the fox mother had no choice but to bite off a spoonful and chew it.

"How should I put it? It's so sweet." After taking two bites, Mother Fox put down her spoon, not wanting to eat anymore.

"Especially after eating the mulberry jam on the surface, and then the sponge cake inside, it was so sweet that it made me feel nauseous."

After seeing Fox Mom finish her comments, Su Yan looked at Princess Luanming, Feng Shiqi, and his good brother Zhou You.

“Auntie is right, it is indeed too sweet. Reducing the amount of sugar can also reduce some costs.” Princess Luanming agreed with Fox Mother’s opinion, and could also openly watch the beautiful woman’s disgusted expression.

"I think it's a good idea!"

Feng Shiqi licked the cream off her lips and gave Su Yan a big thumbs up. She was a fan of sweet things and usually added two qian of cane sugar to her sugar water to make it taste good.

"And you, Brother Zhou?"

Su Yan looked at Zhou You and asked.

Zhou You quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't eat sour food. Such a huge mulberry topping is going to kill me!"

"Then, reduce the amount of sugar used and make another serving."

Su Yan looked at the three monkeys and said, "I remember strawberries are on the market now, right? Go buy some strawberries and try making jam."

The three monkeys remained silent, glancing at each other's right hands, which were sore and swollen from stirring the batter.

Sir, I feel like your business isn't doing so well these days!

This sponge cake is quite a strain on your arms and your life.

Baking is a trap; don't even think about it unless you have several large refrigerators at home.

Moreover, washing baking utensils can be incredibly painful.

Chapter 268 At night, the dormitory room gathered for a game of mahjong.

"Squeak~"

The three monkeys in the government office were so tired from stirring the egg mixture that their limbs were almost twitching. Finally, they managed to make a cake that their mother was willing to eat. The three monkeys were so aggrieved that they burst into tears. But after receiving the reward money from Su Yan, they immediately became happy and ran to their dormitory to hide spirit stones.

"There are still too few people trying it. Let's distribute some sponge cakes outside another day when we have time, and let everyone give their opinions on the taste and do a survey!"

After Su Yan finished eating the cake on the ceramic plate, he thought it tasted quite good. However, it was only good in taste and could be eaten as a dessert. It was not of any benefit to cultivators. The sponge cake still needed a lot of preparation before it could be sold.

However, compared to the launch of the chicken cake, after an afternoon of conversation, Su Yan also learned about some changes that had occurred in the flower city during the few days he was away.

First, the large-scale construction project has already recruited enough people. The Red King has funded the reconstruction of Flower City and the construction of roads through the mountains. He has also built an official road that leads directly from Flower City to the Red King's fiefdom, so that traveling merchants can come directly to Flower City to do business without needing permission from the merchants' guilds in the Red King's fiefdom.

In the past, it was difficult for merchants to come here, and all commodity transactions were based on the prices set by the Red King Guild.

The guild will set a price for the produce, and the flower market will pay the guild that price for all the agricultural products it produces.

The reason why the landlords and tenant farmers did not starve to death was purely because the clans were making subsidies to prevent the cultivators under their command from causing trouble due to lack of food, thus allowing the Crimson King to seize control of the flower region without bloodshed.

As for selling to other regions?

They couldn't be sold at all. If they were, the Red King could even frame them for treason and go directly to Emperor Wusheng to accuse the Flower People of selling supplies to enemy countries and even selling them to the Demonic Sect to support anti-Xia Yu elements.

The Flower Clan is quite resilient; they've held on until now before finally giving in.

With the transfer of control, the Crimson King gradually lifted the previous covert restrictions on people's livelihoods and the strict iron laws, loosening the chains binding the flower cultivators.

With the relaxation of various strict rules, the Flower Bureau has transformed from a relatively unknown entity into an important institution.

The flower bureau needs to maintain order and security.

The Red King slaughtered most of the clans in the southern border region, resulting in many refugees appearing on the edge of the flower-growing area.

The Crimson King's Palace has ordered the Flower and Plant Administration to pay attention to this situation and prevent the emergence of those who use witchcraft. The Crimson King's Palace will allocate funds and dispatch some soldiers to the Flower and Plant Administration to provide assistance.

With the transfer of power from the Flower District clan came the obligations that come with that power.

In recent days, both Princess Luanming and Zhou You have been recruiting yamen runners to deal with the increasingly serious security problems.

Arresting migrants entering the country, street thugs, and all kinds of criminal activities.

Furthermore, the focus will be on cracking down on lewd thieves who molest women.

The government offices are currently extremely busy, needing to supervise the progress of large-scale construction projects and organize landlords to contact tenant farmers for reasonable spring planting, so that the autumn harvest will not be too monotonous and will not fetch a good price.

They also organized border patrol teams to crack down on the unrest caused by displaced people and the proselytizing of the Nightmare Town sect.

The government is facing a serious shortage of manpower.

........................

Although the problems at the Flower Bureau were urgent, Su Yan wasn't too worried.

After all, the Fox Mother is still here overseeing things. I'll talk to Madam Hua and General Bai another day; they can't really just ignore everything, can they? If you really do nothing, I, Su, will have to impose a fine!

Although the clans relinquished power, they did not relinquish their interests in the flower-growing region.

As Grand Tutor Jin said, we must assess the situation and make judgments that are in our own best interest. Now everyone is within the legal framework constructed by Emperor Wusheng. The law is used to protect the weak within the Xia Yu Dynasty, while the law is a shackle on the strong.

If the clan really does nothing, then Su Yan will have no choice but to act like a county magistrate and start going through the motions.

Without saying a word, they would go directly to the Red King and file a complaint against the clans in the Flower Region, accusing them of monopolizing land and disrupting the sugar price of the Xia Dynasty, and of hoarding large amounts of armor and weapons in their clan lands, suggesting a possible rebellion.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the two sides breaking down in negotiations; otherwise, Su Yan would not be willing to do so.

While it might seem satisfying to do this, you end up offending people from beginning to end. You and your clan have lost everything, while only the Crimson King can secretly profit and happily count his spirit stones.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and rest. If you don't eat three meals a day and don't sleep, you won't grow tall."

As night fell, Su Yan sat at her desk in her dormitory, using a charcoal pencil to record the actual itinerary and writing down the plans she had just come up with in her mind in a notebook.

I'll go to sleep in a bit.

Su Yan looked at the fox mother on the bed, said something, and then sped up his writing.

Of course, a decent person wouldn't write a diary, and even if they did, they wouldn't write down their true thoughts. The reason Su Yan wrote it was entirely because it was an assignment given by Grand Tutor Jin.

All students going on outings have to write it down. Master Jin will randomly check everyone's itinerary book from time to time. If anyone is found to have not written it down, they will be sentenced to wear a lazy dog ​​sign around their neck and be paraded through the streets for three weeks.

If the second random check finds that the document has not been written, it will be judged as a case of a secret rendezvous in the imperial city.

Male cultivators would pull down their pants and hang them on the city gate, while female cultivators would take off their pants and be flogged in the imperial city, and demon cultivators would be locked up.

Su Yan felt that he was still young and might not need it for the time being, but he didn't want to be locked up.

They didn't even want to know what those locks looked like.

"Go to sleep!"

After Su Yan finished recording the itinerary, she put away her notebook, stretched lazily, and transformed into a fox, jumping onto the bed and skillfully landing in her mother's arms.

Although Su Yan now possesses the qualities of a Golden Core cultivator, enabling him to abstain from grains for several months and go without sleep for short periods, generally speaking, no cultivator does this. His body is still made of flesh and blood, and he cannot be immortal like an Earth Immortal.

Prolonged sleeplessness is a burden on the mind and will inevitably affect the sharpness of the senses.

Even if you fast, you will still feel hungry because you still need to replenish your energy with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Muma~ Whose little fox is this? She's so cute that even a fox can't help but kiss her!"

The fox mother hugged Su Yan and kissed him deeply, rubbing her cheek against Su Yan's cheek fiercely:

"So they're her biological children! No wonder they're so cute!"

"Yes, yes, go to sleep! We still need to visit Madam Hua and General Bai tomorrow."

Su Yan rolled her eyes and, as usual, turned into a pillow for her fox mother to cuddle and sleep with, something she was quite familiar with.

...............

Instead of going to sleep, the fox mother sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced breathing exercises, letting Su Yan rest his head on her thighs to fall asleep. As an external avatar, she naturally did not need to cultivate.

But precisely because she is an avatar, she needs to practice breathing exercises to replenish her magical power. Otherwise, she will dissipate once her magical power is exhausted. Having come out for a rare trip, the fox mother doesn't want to go home so soon.

Having just finished seeing the little fox, I naturally can't be biased and need to visit the hardworking dragon father.

"Ok?"

Just as the fox mother calmed down and began her breathing exercises, a strange sensation suddenly arose on her skin, causing her to open her eyes. The first thing she saw was a woman in a black dress sitting sideways on the bed.

"Senior Taiyin, what is this?"

The Lord of Night looked at Su Qing and said, "Wait for someone."

Su Yan, who was fast asleep because she felt safe, had no idea that her dormitory room was so lively in the early hours of the morning, even enough to form a mahjong table.

"Senior, who are you waiting for? Do you need any help?"

"No need, she's just sleeping there."

Fox Mom looked down at Su Yan, then glanced at the Lord of Night sitting by the bed, a question mark appearing above her head.

Do you like this kind of thing, sir?
