After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 209 The Emperor Falls in Love with Cola

In the end, Ye Yuwu sat back down in her seat.

The emperor dismissed the servants who were attending to him.

At this moment, the sound of Wu Hualing telling stories could still be clearly heard outside.

The window that Ye Yuwu had left open before she came in was now half-closed.

The eldest princess and the empress listened with great interest to the storyteller outside, and occasionally they could hear thunderous applause from below.

"Your storytelling with the aroma of tea is quite good." The emperor slowly sipped the "cola" in his hand.

I'm quite full from drinking.

Very few people probably know that the emperor gave up tea but fell in love with milk tea, drinking several pots every day.

He always comforted himself, thinking that milk tea was a popular drink among young men and women in Bianjing, and it was no big deal that he liked to drink it.

Even though he comforted himself in this way, he still dared not let others know that he, the dignified monarch of a country, actually liked to drink milk tea!

Nowadays, apart from some imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen, only a few eunuchs and palace maids who serve the emperor in the imperial study know about it.

But now he finds this "cola" quite enjoyable, and suddenly feels a bit tired of milk tea.

So he suddenly changed the subject and asked her, "This dark, 'Chinese medicine'-like drink tastes quite good, and it even has some fumes when you drink it."

“Yes, Lord Ye, not only is it fun to drink, but the name you chose is also very fitting and clever. It’s perfect for the name ‘Cola’!” the princess chimed in.

"'Cola Cola' is indeed quite cola!" the Empress rarely spoke, but she commented.

Ye Yuwu smiled slightly, "I learned how to make this cola by chance from a sea traveler. It seems to be very popular in a certain overseas country. I made it with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but the process was very difficult. It took a long time to research and make it. I also planned to show it at this storytelling event, but I never expected that no one would pay attention to it at first."

It should be said that Coca-Cola's popularity has been completely overshadowed by products like "French fries" made from potatoes.

Everyone comes here to try the fries, so naturally no one pays attention to the "cola".

"This method actually comes from overseas. I just don't know who is so talented as to make such a delicious and fun drink." The emperor couldn't help but exclaim. When he said this, the three people in the room were secretly observing his expression.

In fact, they didn't believe Ye Yuwu's claim that she learned the method from a seafarer. Not to mention that there really was a seafarer willing to teach a woman how to make drinks, if there were such a profitable drink, why didn't they make it themselves but instead told her how to make it?

Moreover, if what she said is true, this drink is popular overseas, then it should have spread to the Central Plains long ago. In fact, these overseas merchants would even spontaneously present this drink to the emperor in order to obtain a reward. But I have never heard of any overseas merchant obtaining this recipe.

Therefore, all three believed that she had researched and created it herself, but they didn't know why she would make an excuse to hide it.

This isn't the first or second time this has happened. Her current alias, "Wuming," was originally chosen because she didn't want people to know her true identity.

It wouldn't make sense to say she was afraid of attracting trouble, since with her abilities, she could easily find someone to protect her, or even seek the protection of the imperial court.

There are too many mysteries surrounding this woman.

The emperor looked at her with a probing gaze.

But when he saw Ye Yuwu's expressionless face, lost in thought, he felt for the first time that she was unfathomable. Even the emperor, who was skilled at reading people's hearts, could not glean any clues from her face at that moment.

The reason Ye Yuwu was expressionless at this moment was because she was using her search system in her mind.

Ye Yuwu quickly activated the search system in her mind and mentally entered: "Who made the cola?"

She then clicked the "magnifying glass" icon, and an answer appeared before her eyes.

"I remember now, Your Majesty! The seafarer said this is Coca-Cola made by John Pemberton!"

The three exchanged glances, each seeing doubt in the other's eyes: Is there really such a person?

Seeing Ye Yuwu's confident and seemingly serious demeanor, the three of them couldn't help but have some doubts about themselves.

Ye Yuwu was unaware that the businessman was still doubting the veracity of his words.

With so many distinguished guests before her, including the Emperor and Empress, this was an excellent opportunity for her to curry favor with them.

Because she has a tough battle ahead of her, which is also the purpose of her storytelling performance. Naturally, she also needs to win the favor of the emperor and empress in order to do what she needs to do next.

So she then said to them, "If Your Majesty and the Empress like it, I can write down the recipe and give it to Your Majesty."

The emperor and empress were truly baffled as to why this person had suddenly become enlightened and would actually offer to give away the formula.

The emperor jokingly said to her, "Aren't you afraid that I'll use this formula to make money?"

"Your Majesty, as the supreme ruler, you are not short of such a small amount of money," Ye Yuwu said speechlessly.

"That's not necessarily true. My dear minister, you may not know that the national treasury is currently very empty, and we can't even allocate any silver. I'll use this formula to earn some silver to replenish the national treasury." The emperor raised an eyebrow.

Ye Yuwu gritted his teeth and immediately smiled, "That would be my greatest honor. I would do anything to contribute to the national treasury... no... Jin Kingdom!"

"Hahaha! Minister Ye, I am very pleased to hear you say that. If I really relied on your formula, this amount of silver would be just a drop in the ocean compared to the national treasury."

It means they look down on the small amount of money you make with that recipe!

Ye Yuwu understood the meaning behind his words and scoffed inwardly. How dare he look down on this cola formula! The emperor should really go to the modern world and see for himself how much money he makes from cola, a beverage consumed all over the world!

However, nowadays, apart from the difficulty in production, it's really impossible to achieve the same scale as in modern times.

Ye Yuwu smiled but remained silent, saying, "It is I who have underestimated myself."

Not only did the emperor laugh, but the princess and empress sitting beside him also chuckled softly, though their laughter was not mocking, but rather friendly.

Clearly, they were quite satisfied with Ye Yuwu's expression of loyalty.

Ye Yuwu was also a woman of action; the superior private room was equipped with the Four Treasures of the Study.

She walked straight to another area of ​​the private room.

After laying out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, Eunuch Fu De, who was serving the emperor, walked to Ye Yuwu's side, picked up the ink stick, dipped it in a little water, and began to grind ink for Ye Yuwu.

Ye Yuwu didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the brush next to her after grinding the ink.

After dipping his brush in ink, he began writing the recipe on the paper.

Upon hearing the sound, the eldest princess stood up, walked to the desk, and wanted to see the Coca-Cola formula.

The eldest princess originally had a secret desire to see what the recipes were, so that she could reply and have the chefs in her household make them as well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood next to Ye Yuwu, she saw the Xuan paper on the desk and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
