Chapter 253 Ugly Faces (Seeking 5-star reviews)
"Everyone, try this. It's made with tiger grass, and it tastes great with roasted meat."
Tigergrass?
Yingrong found it unusual. Tiger seedling grass is commonly found in the mountains. She had tasted it before, but it was very astringent and difficult to eat.
These little cakes smelled so delicious that they made my mouth water. Yixin picked up a piece of roasted meat, placed it on top, wrapped it up, and fed it to her.
The crispy pancake, when you bite into it, is infused with meat juices. The oil in your mouth is not greasy at all; instead, it enhances the aroma of the pancake.
After just one bite, she couldn't resist starting to cook herself.
So do everyone else.
They never participated in the Dijiang clan's hunts; they had never seen or heard of them before, and this was their first time trying one.
The moment the chopsticks reached their mouths, a powerful shock flashed in their eyes.
Fragrant.
So delicious.
They had certainly eaten roasted meat before, but it was too greasy after a while. This was just right to go with it.
I never imagined tiger grass could taste so good.
Mu Yunyun smiled and said, "This tiger seedling grass is a good thing. I made a few different kinds. You can try some."
Subsequently.
One small dish after another was served.
They're almost bite-sized, and the flavors vary.
It has salty, spicy, and sweet flavors.
The cubs love to eat soft and fragrant snacks.
The females have a particular fondness for smooth and creamy noodle soup.
Males love to eat meat, and they devour meat-filled pies and buns.
Are these all made from tigergrass?
Tigergrass can actually be used to make these delicious dishes?
How come they don't know.
Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Mu Yunyun continued to speak.
“My Yuanzhou is located in the northern sea region. In winter, we often go hungry. It’s a small matter if our people starve to death. If we can’t find prey, even our cubs may not survive.”
"My family has been planting tiger grass in the Jiangshui area for the past two years and has had a good harvest. I would like to take this opportunity to spread this method."
His words were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The smaller clans looked on in astonishment.
"Lady, are you truly serious?"
Someone suddenly spoke.
He spoke cautiously; in this situation, it wasn't really his place to speak.
This sentence seemed to come from all the courage he had mustered in his life; as soon as he opened his mouth, sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Of course, you will have to hand over 20% of your annual output to the Dijiang Clan. If there is any surplus, the Dijiang Clan will purchase it at market price. How about that?"
"The Dijiang Clan?" Lord Yinghua?
“That’s right, this idea was a decision made jointly by Lord Yinghua and me.”
Everyone: "!!!!!"
A single sentence caused a huge uproar.
There was an uproar.
Wasn't it said that the Dijiang clan and the Snow Weasel clan were at odds?
Didn't they say that the Snow Weasel Clan and the Dijiang Clan had a deep-seated hatred and were irreconcilable enemies?
what's the situation?
What exactly is going on?
Ying Hua noticed the expressions on everyone's faces.
He chuckled. She actually pushed him out as guarantor. What could he do but go along with her?
Yao Ji was also stunned.
When did she discuss the collaboration with her brother? How come she didn't know?
She gets 20% of the profits, and whatever amount she takes, that's what the Emperor Jiang family gets.
She got a share in this too!
She looked anxiously at Ying Hua. Why didn't you say something earlier about such a big thing? The profits involved are huge. How could a mere 20% be enough?
The same goes for Yao Niang.
When did this happen?
The adult actually wants to cooperate with the Snow Weasel clan? Does she even deserve it?
Moreover, Tiger Seed Grass is a valuable resource. The Dijiang Clan has many slaves, so it would be much better to let them cultivate it. Why give this method away? It's like giving away free sea coins!
She was extremely anxious: "My lord, shouldn't we reconsider this matter?"
This profit is substantial; we can't give it away easily.
"You're quite an interesting maid. Do you think you have the right to interrupt here?" Ying Rong looked her up and down. "Ying Hua, how did you raise your slaves? They don't know any manners at all."
“I am a member of the Beihai Yao clan, not a slave.”
"The Beihai Yao clan? What kind of minor clan is that? Never heard of it."
"you!"
"Shut up!" Ying Hua snapped.
"grown ups!"
Yao Niang looked aggrieved, her eyes red with anger.
Yao Ji couldn't stand it; Yao Niang was also her person, and she couldn't bear to see her humiliated in public.
“Yingrong, what do you mean? Yaoniang is right. This is a big matter. Shouldn’t we take more than 20% of the profits? How is that possible? We should take at least 80%. Otherwise, my Dijiang clan will grow it ourselves and sell it.”
"You've got quite the nerve. This method of planting tiger seedling grass isn't something you came up with."
"So what if it wasn't my idea? The Dijiang Clan isn't something my brother can decide alone."
If we don't share with her and let her get the benefits, she will absolutely not agree.
Yinghua was amused and annoyed by her matter-of-fact attitude.
"Someone, take Yao Ji away."
"Why should I be taken down with you!" Yao Ji exclaimed anxiously. "Am I wrong? It was the Snow Weasel Clan that asked my Dijiang Clan for help, so the Dijiang Clan should decide whether or not to use this method of planting Tiger Seed Grass." She would not back down.
Yao Niang chimed in from the side, "Lady Yao Ji has considered everything carefully. We hope you will reconsider."
The two sang in unison, causing Ying Hua's breathing to become increasingly unsteady.
He wanted to speak, but Mu Yunyun interrupted him first.
"This concerns the very foundation of our Yuanzhou, so I hope Yaoji will be careful with her words."
"I don't care. Eighty percent of the profits, not a single percent less. Give the main family forty percent, and I'll take forty percent. If there's any surplus, I might consider letting your Mu family buy and purchase. Otherwise, there's absolutely no way you'll let my Dijiang family get involved."
"Then how about I, Shennong, step in?"
The sprightly elders stood up.
They looked at Mu Yunyun with earnest eyes.
"I, Shennong, wish to implement the method of cultivation in Yingzhou."
"Why are you Shennong getting involved? No one in Yingzhou will starve. If you ask me, it is I, Fenglin, who want to plant Tiger Seed Grass. Great Clan Chief, if you teach me how to plant it, I am willing to offer it as tribute to the ten clans under my jurisdiction."
Ying Rong is the young clan chief of Yingzhao clan. He has been learning to manage the clan since childhood, and he doesn't think about profit when it comes to Tiger Seed Grass.
She had never felt so fortunate before. If she hadn't been so concerned for her partner, she wouldn't have condescended to come to Yuanzhou, and she wouldn't have had the chance to meet the Snow Weasel clan.
She admitted that she was attracted to him.
If Fenglin cultivates Tiger Seed Grass, everyone in the race will have enough to eat, and even the surplus can be sold...
Just like the female princess of the Snow Weasel clan said.
This is the foundation, the lifeline.
Yao Ji is such a fool. Doesn't she fear being laughed at for saying such things?
It would be even better if things escalated; it would be best to never have anything to do with the Dijiang clan again.
Shennong was furious.
"What do you mean by that, young clan leader? In terms of closeness, our Shennong clan is much closer to the eldest clan leader. Our ancestor was the eldest clan leader's partner and even had a child with him. You, with such a distant relationship, want to cooperate? You're dreaming!"
Yingrong was startled.
She never expected that Shennong and Mu would have such a close personal relationship.
"As long as the clan chief teaches me the planting method, I am willing to offer half of my territory's offerings to the clan chief."
