Xia Zuoyi held a stack of papers and handed it to Boris: "Please, do me a favor."
Boris took over to look at a few sheets and found that each sheet had the same pattern and handwriting. He asked, "This is...?"
Zoe Xia: "Flyer."
"The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation in the Anas Empire. I want you to send people to the residences of the various nobles of the empire in the name of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to distribute these leaflets to them."
"I won't let you work in vain. How much do you want?"
The beautiful young boy raised his eyebrows at Boris, and finally said jokingly, "Is one gold coin enough?"
Boris' deep lake green eyes filled with a smile: "Lord Lord, don't be so stingy, at least two gold coins."
Xia Zoe said that he was just stingy.
After joking, Boris said sternly: "Have you seen Tosi Cavendish at the port?"
Xia Zuoyi tilted his head in confusion first.
After a long time, he remembered that the person Boris was talking about should be the man who was almost scared to the ground by the egg yolk, and then he asked the Grand Duke of Orville and was told not to care.
"Isn't Cavendish the king's last name?"
Could it be that in addition to a grand duke of the empire, there was a prince who came to the port to receive him
Boris naturally heard what was happening in the port at the time.
Whether it's a large fleet of ships that are constantly breaking through the water, or a beast that makes people scream and fear...
Until now, the discussion about Desinia has not stopped in the royal city of the empire, and people are always talking about the fleet that almost filled the port and the soldiers guarding the ship...
Boris remembered the final result—Little Zoe was picked up by Grand Duke Archiayoli, and he couldn't help feeling a little delicate.
He entrusted the grand duke to be able to take care of him a little more for the sake of living in Little Zoe Castle before, but he didn't expect that Little Zoe would be taken care of in the other party's mansion as soon as he arrived in the empire...
"Tosi Cavendish is the king's illegitimate son, a marquis." Boris said: "The person sent by your majesty to greet you is him, not Archduke Archiayoli."
Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised: "Oh, no wonder the marquis wanted to stop me at that time."
He also wondered if there was anything wrong with the other party.
Boris: "Watch out Tosi Cavendish."
"I didn't say clearly in the letter I sent you half a month ago that the reason why you received the invitation to the Queen's birthday dinner is because Tosi entered the palace."
"He really wants to get the sugar recipe in your hands."
The king of the Anas Empire did not take the queen seriously.
Otherwise, there would not be many lovers, and the illegitimate child born by the lover would be put on the table without disguise and blatant, ignoring the dignity and thoughts of the queen.
The royal family of the Anas Empire has many criticisms about the king's behavior, but is often put off by the king for some inappropriate reasons.
When the king's romance became a joke in the empire, and there were more and more mistresses, even the queen ignored it, and members of the royal family gradually gave up talking about it.
Boris didn't know what to think, the lake green eyes became deeper and deeper, and even the faint smile at the corner of his mouth was smothered, and the whole person's air pressure dropped a lot.
Xia Zoe: "Thank you, Boris."
Boris sighed: "I have already warned you in advance, why come to the empire?"
"Do you know how many jackals, tigers and leopards are here waiting to divide up everything you have, and it may also affect your territory."
Xia Zuoyi: "But I have to come."
"The benefits brought by the appearance of white sugar are too great. There will always be such a day, Boris, I have to face it."
"Then are you ready?"
Xia Zuoyi's good-looking eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents: "What do you say?"
The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, as the largest chamber of commerce in the Anas Empire, controls the economic lifeline of the empire to a certain extent, and has a lot of connections with the upper-class nobles.
The leaders of the chambers of commerce had the status of a marquis and were treated with courtesy among the nobles.
Therefore, when the man from the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce handed a piece of paper that was a flyer to the nobleman's attendant, the attendant did not dare to throw it away at will, but chose to bring it to the nobleman for the nobleman to decide.
The flyer introduces in detail the food made from white sugar, fashionable clothes, etc., lists the names and makes a description, and next to them is printed with specific patterns of bright colors, which immediately attracted the attention of the nobles.
I almost wanted to throw it away, but now I'm holding it in my hand and looking at it - lemon candy, rose candy, candy painting... New clothes, costumes from the territory of Desinia...
The propaganda worked.
The interest of the nobles was successfully aroused.
And the place where these things are sold is at the port of one of the royal cities, and the powerful nobles can't wait to summon the carriage and plan to take a look in person.
After all, they had also heard of the reasons why His Majesty the King would throw a huge birthday dinner for the Queen.
This is candy!
Who can not be moved by this, and does not want to take it for himself.
How could a small foreign lord possess the secret recipe for making a large amount of white sugar
Even if they can't get it, the secret recipe for white sugar should be owned by the Empire!
Now Desinia even sells food made of sugar without any concealment, which is not small.
For a time, when the flyers ran out, more carriages rushed to the port.
And people have a herd mentality. When they see surprising scenes, they can't help but be curious to watch the excitement or what happened in the past.
Therefore, no matter how remote the port is from the Imperial City, it will gradually become overcrowded after the news spreads.
The imperial market was opened.
The port is divided into a food area and a clothing area.
Almost all the women who walked the clothing section couldn't resist the glamour of these beautiful new maxi dresses.
Clothes sold in the clothing section are not allowed to be tried on.
However, the styles and sizes are complete. If you like it, buy it. If the size is wrong, you can choose a tailor to modify it.
If it is a noble, there is no shortage of tailors in the family.
Customers who want to buy only need to report to the tailor the size of the shoulder width, waist circumference, etc. to get the appropriate clothes size recommended by the tailor.
The long dresses and accessories that Xia Zuoyi brought are very complete, almost occupying the entire cargo volume of the cabin.
Clothes are divided into high-end and cheap.
The styles and shapes of high-end clothing rarely have the same existence, and make changes in the details.
Affordable women's long skirts have many identical styles in terms of style, color, and style, with a large number and a large number of yards. There are exquisite ornaments, hats or scarves around them to match the new styles of long skirts.
After all, women are shy to report waist circumference data and so on.
Therefore, in the clothing area, the soldiers also built a closed clothes room, and the curtain was pulled up around it. The nobles could follow up with the maid to measure the waist circumference data, etc., and then whispered to the tailor's ear when they came out.
Civilian women do not have so many concerns, and can be measured by themselves or their female companions.
Some daring women even took measurements in front of the booth, showing off their beautiful figures generously.
The clothing area is continuously stocked.
The soldiers carried the boxes off the ship, and then carried the empty boxes back into the cabin, and several pages were added to the records in the ledger.
Xia Zoe did not stay in Orville's Duke's Mansion, but returned to the boat to watch the scene below. After confirming that the clothing area was progressing very well, he found a suitable place to stare at the food area.
The number of people here is much sparser, and most of them are dressed in wealth and strict clothes.
The air in the food area was filled with sweet fragrance, which made people stop and watch in front of the stalls.
Tosi stopped in front of a stand where lemon candy was being made.
He watched the three guys pour the boiled syrup from the cauldron into the iron plate surrounded by the edge, add a proper amount of lemon juice when it was half cooled, and then put on clean and soft gloves to knead and mix...
The production process alone can attract people to stare intently. The price of lemon candy is written on the wooden board standing next to it, and a piece of lemon candy the size of a knuckle is five gold coins.
Tosi stared, "Isn't the price of a piece of lemon candy a gold coin?"
The steward in charge of maintaining the security of the area smiled and said, "You don't know this lord, the price of a piece of candy and a gold coin is in the territory of Desinia."
"Our lord deliberately brought white sugar to the empire from our territory. The hard work, protection, and transportation along the way... are all included in these five gold coins, which are already very cheap."
"In order to let the people of the empire taste the food made of white sugar, our lord came with great sincerity."
"These five gold coins must be a small amount for you. If you buy a box directly, it can be cheaper..."
The steward tried his best to sell according to the lord's teaching: "Just now, a marquis bought two boxes of lemon candies and went back. Oh, this marquis is now next to the rose candy booth..."
Tosi had a cold face, staring at the steward uncertainly.
However, the steward smiled decently, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
The location of this port has been completely leased by the lord from the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and soldiers are guarding every place, especially the stalls in the food area.
They are guests from afar, not to the point of tearing their faces. Even if the nobles of these empires are dissatisfied, they will not let go of trouble.
So the management is very calm.
"It seems that Your Majesty has not given you enough money. If you can't afford it, please get out of the way and don't get in the way." At this moment, a deep male voice came.
Tosi's face darkened instantly, and he turned around.
Behind him stood a man with two small beards, with slightly curly blond hair combed back on his head. He looked handsome and was probably in his thirties.
He was also a marquis like Tosi Cavendish.
But the difference is that Tosi obtained this title in the name of the king's illegitimate son, without any real power. This man named Darnell is the serious heir of the family and serves as the finance minister in the royal city.
Darnell has always been uncomfortable with Tosi.
The mutual hostility between the two is a well-known thing in the royal city.
Tosi just wanted to sneer back, but his eyes fell on the jar of rose candy that Darnell was holding in his hand - the jar was made of stained glass, cylindrical in shape, only half the size of a palm, and the body of the jar had a beautiful pattern logo on it. Write the name and source in cursive.
Tosi didn't take a closer look, but was attracted by the rose candy inside. It was a darker red than roses, with candy stains all around, which was really tempting.
Darnell noticed his gaze and raised the corner of his mouth. "This little jar of rose candy is really not expensive. It's only 30 gold coins. If the Marquis likes it, you can buy a jar."
He had bought lemon candies before and planned to buy two more boxes.
Tosi's forehead twitched uncontrollably, maintaining an expression on his face, slightly raising his chin: "Don't worry, I haven't bought my lemon candy yet."
Darnell made a gesture, please.
Tosi finally reluctantly spent a hundred gold to buy a whole box of lemon candy, and then went to the stand selling rose candy.
Darnell took a step forward, but suddenly raised his hand and took off his hat, motioning to Xia Zoey who was leaning against the boat in the distance.
Xia Zoe was a little puzzled, but nodded.
He watched the man who was talking to Tosi just now bought two boxes of lemon candies and turned to leave. He planned to go back to the Grand Duke to inquire about it later.
Xia Zuoyi said softly, "How is the rose perfume made?"
Judit: "Ten small bottles have been made, but they have not been used on people. I don't know how long the fragrance will last..."
"Have someone bring me a bottle of..."
Xia Zoe paused and said, "I'll try it first."
"Yes, lord."
