Sunflower oil?
Shu Yu looked at him eagerly, and ng Yunzheng smiled, "After the sunflower oil was delivered to the palace, the Emperor had it inspected and found it to be better, fresher, and healthier than ordinary oil."
There are Imperial Physicians and specialized Food Doctors in the palace. For sunflower oil, which boasts a reputation for health and nutrition, they naturally conducted a thorough inspection, and the result was a pleasant surprise.
The Emperor was naturally pleased. Just as he ascended to the throne, a new, healthy cooking oil erged. He imdiately ordered the palace procurent to include sunflower oil in their daily supplies.
"So, it ans that before long, soone from the palace will co to discuss the supply of sunflower oil with you."
Shu Yu, "..."
Oh my god, this is quite the pressure.
Although this order from the palace is a windfall beyond imagination, it is also a hot potato.
Supplying the palace with food ingredients – if sothing goes wrong, it’s not sothing that can be easily explained away.
However! There’s no business without risk. Fortune cos with taking risks, and such an opportunity is rare. If she gives it up, she’ll be stuck running a small workshop in Jiangyuan County, and nothing more.
Moreover, with the palace’s endorsent, even if other places start planting sunflowers and extracting sunflower oil in the future, they won’t be able to compete with her. Her brand will gain imdiate recognition from this.
Those in power and influential circles will naturally choose them, the Lu family.
Weighing the pros and cons, Shu Yu is more inclined to proceed with this business deal.
But she is unfamiliar with the palace procurent processes, and the court and harem are full of conspiracies and sches. Soone might use sunflower oil for malicious purposes, so she voiced her concerns.
ng Yunzheng chuckled and told her, "Don’t worry, the food procured for the palace undergoes rigorous checks, and even when it’s served, soone will taste it. No ordinary person would dare tamper with it."
There are many vendors supplying the palace, from firewood, rice, oil, and salt, to clothes and jewelry, everything is thoroughly inspected. Sunflower oil is used sparingly, and it’s not in constant use, so there’s no need for excessive worry.
ng Yunzheng suggested, "If worse cos to worse, whenever you dispatch a shipnt, have Zhao Xi inspect the goods and pay him an additional wage to ensure there’s no room for mishaps."
Shu Yu thought this idea was good, and felt happy again, considering how her two products had gained such a market right after their launch. "When will the palace procurent people co?"
"They’ll probably co with my promotion appointnt," Xiang Weinan calmly said from the side.
Shu Yu was taken aback, "A promotion?? Are you going back to the capital?"
Xiang Weinan nodded, "Yes, thanks to you. The new lon seeds and sunflower oil were presented from Jiangyuan County. As the county magistrate, I naturally contributed, and the Emperor used this pretext to summon back to the capital."
Of course, Xiang Weinan had already made contributions in the investigation of the Dongan Province magistrate case and the arrest of the Jiangyuan County magistrate.
Shu Yu’s two products rely served to ’remind’ the Emperor that Jiangyuan County had such a person.
The new Emperor is in need of talented officials right now, and was originally looking for an excuse to transfer Xiang Weinan back to the capital. Shu Yu was the one who conveniently provided that excuse.
Furthermore, the Third Prince is secretly making moves, and Xiang Weinan has familial ties with the Xiao Family. The Emperor needs his help to deal with the Xiao Family.
