Chapter 185 There is a problem with the birthday banquet fruit offering

"There is a problem with a batch of fruit offerings in the south, and I have to deal with it." Gu Shuo had just entered the capital city, and when he heard about this, he went straight to the palace gate.

"It's just a batch of fruits, it's worth your panic."

"We in Beili are rich in fruits, and the fruit offerings are for the emperor's birthday banquet to be tasted by other countries. If something goes wrong, the emperor will be furious."

"There are also a lot of fruits in the capital city. Our Gu family has several fruit shops. If we can't do it, we can get them from our shop." Mr. Gu also feels sorry for his grandson, but he is annoyed when he thinks that he is not working on the Gu family's business now: "Our business is not so good. How many years has it been since Huangshang started? You don’t understand the twists and turns, and if you insist on taking over Huangshang, your good brains will be wasted.”

"The fruit in Yuzhou is the best in the world, and nothing else can replace it. The birthday banquet is still in one month, and I have already arranged it. I will go to Yuzhou myself." Gu Shuo was very busy these two days.

"Are you going to Yuzhou?" Elder Gu's eyes widened.

"Well, we will leave the day after tomorrow."

"The recent disasters in the south are so serious, the bridges have all been washed away, and the flood has not receded, you are dying?" Gu Lao was very angry, even his Gu family's caravan was washed away by the flood in the south, and his life and death are unknown.

He actually wanted to go to Yuzhou through the flooded area for an imperial merchant?

"I have planned everything. The range of the flood is about a few hundred miles. The further downstream the flood is, the smaller the impact of the flood will be. Bridges hundreds of miles away should not be washed away. Yesterday I also found some excellent water-based escorts. .” Gu Shuo had already planned the route for two days.

"You are not allowed to go, the southern area is very unsafe. If the emperor blames it, you will stop working as an imperial merchant and come back to our Gu family." Gu Lao valued this grandson the most, and loved him the most.

"Grandpa, it's okay."

"It's okay, you just aren't allowed to go, come back home with me tomorrow, and I'll see what he dares to say." Gu Lao was not in the capital city for a while.

The big family has a lot of thoughts, and they do a lot of dirty things behind their backs, but he never expected that the uncle would force his nephew to leave the family.

"Grandpa." Gu Shuo sighed.

"The Gu family still has some stockpiles. The fruit offerings for the emperor's birthday banquet are temporarily taken from the Gu family's shop for emergency use."

"Grandpa, the appearance of our shop is quite different from that of Yuzhou." Although there are many fruits in other regions, they are not as rich as Yuzhou, and there is no comparison.

"It would be great if it could be made up. I'm still picky. If the emperor has the ability, I'll send someone to take a look." Gu Lao also knew that Yuzhou is famous for its rich fruit, but he couldn't make it through.

Gu Lao blew his beard angrily, not noticing that his grandson was staring at the big apple in his hand.

"Grandpa, this apple belongs to our Gu family?" Gu Shuo reached out and picked up the apple. He has been in business since he was a child, and the things he sees are carefully selected, the best.

But the apple in front of him is better than the apples he has seen in terms of size, color, and smell, even several times better than the ones in Yuzhou.

Where is it grown?

"no."

"Where did you get it?" If there is such a batch of fruits in Kyoto, why go to Yuzhou.

"The little girl gave it."

"Little fat man?" Gu Shuo was surprised.

"Well, brat, you don't know. The little girl treats me very well now. She secretly took two fruits from the palace, and she didn't forget to give me one. It's really worth waiting for a long time." Mentioning apples, Mr. Gu is not angry anymore. , I feel better.

"From the palace?"

"Give it to me secretly." Gu Lao was complacent.
