Chapter 225 Temptation (3)
The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect that the thing Xiao Haizhou mixed with Zhao Mianmian was coffee, and they all exclaimed in amazement in the live broadcast room:
[Oh my god, it’s actually coffee? ? ]
[Look how surprised you are! What's so strange about coffee? Which modern person hasn't drunk coffee? !
But I have to say that the host’s acting skills are really good.
Even if the coffee Xiao Haizhou gave the anchor was a modern product, she still vividly performed the feeling of being caught off guard, at a loss, dumbfounded, and like a Sichuan dog barking at the sun. 】
[Wait, the first few are fine, but what the hell is Shu Dog Barking Sun? ? ]
[Hahahaha, what I mean is that our anchor is a dog~]
【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】
Zhao Mianmian:
【(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻】
The audience in the live broadcast room did not treat Zhao Mianmian as a human being and laughed out loud on the public screen.
Zhao Mianmian was so angry that she grabbed her skirt and gritted her teeth, almost revealing her true colors in front of Xiao Haizhou.
Fortunately, Xiao Haizhou just looked at her deeply and called the maid in to clean up.
The two maids moved quickly and cleaned up the mess on the table in no time.
After cleaning up, the two of them left the room. Before leaving, they did not forget to take away the "coffee" sent from Xizhou, which moved Zhao Mianmian so much that she almost cried out loud.
However, the two of them did not leave for too long. Before Zhao Mianmian could recover from the shock, one of them came back.
The maid was holding a hexagonal walnut food box in her hand, and she placed it neatly in the middle of the table as she entered the room.
Zhao Mianmian glanced at the food box in front of her.
The food box is divided into six compartments, filled with six kinds of snacks in different shapes.
Each one is colorful, fragrant and delicious, and looks delicious.
Zhao Mianmian instantly forgot what happened before. She swallowed involuntarily and cast a greedy look at the food box.
After the maid who brought the snacks left, Xiao Haizhou dusted off his clothes which were not dusty at all, and sat down at the table again.
He just suppressed the smile in his eyes, as if nothing had happened, and pushed the food box on the table towards Zhao Mianmian, indicating that she could help herself.
"Although the 'coffee' was sent from Lu Zhunshan, it is not produced in Xizhou."
Zhao Mianmian was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of ropes for ten years. Although she was drooling over the food in the food box, she did not dare to eat it.
Xiao Haizhou understood what was going on. He smiled unhappily and while explaining the origin of the "coffee", he took out a small rabbit-shaped cake from the food box and stuffed it into Zhao Mianmian's hand.
"It is said that a talented person from Xizhou went out to sea and spent three months bringing it back from the other side of the ocean."
Going to sea?
Across the ocean?
What the hell? ?
Zhao Mianmian took a look at the rabbit cake in her hand and took a small bite doubtfully.
It wasn't until the sweet taste melted in her mouth that she breathed a sigh of relief and believed that what Xiao Haizhou gave her was a real "sweet cake".
Of course, even though she was eating, Zhao Mianmian didn't completely let down her guard.
Because the audience in her live broadcast room started arguing again on the public screen:
[Well, it's just a cup of coffee. You thought it was something rare and took it out to treat people.
It's not as suspenseful as you say. It's Xiao Haizhou who suspects the identity of the anchor and is trying every way to test her! 】
[Don't be careless, don't be careless! The anchor has finally reached level 5. If he dies now, wouldn't it be a loss? ]
[I’m dying of laughter. She finally reached level 5. Don’t you see how long she has been stuck at level 5?
If you don’t work hard to upgrade, you will have to wait for Xiao Haizhou to eat up the He family completely, leaving nothing behind! 】
[To be honest, the collapse of the He family is secondary. What if the Xuanlin Guards dug out the gold, silver and jewelry she hid in Linlan Courtyard...
Do you think the system will be inhumane and send her back to the novice village? [Funny]】
[Hahahaha, it’s possible, absolutely possible! ]
No, no, right?
Go back to the Novice Village? ?
I have finally saved up hundreds of thousands of gold coins, how can you just confiscate them? ! !
Zhao Mianmian trembled as she scanned the comments on the public screen, while dealing with Xiao Haizhou absent-mindedly.
"what?"
"Oh……"
"Um???"
Xiao Haizhou seemed to have noticed something strange about Zhao Mianmian, and his already bottomless eyes became even deeper.
He changed the subject and stopped talking about the coffee. Instead, he mentioned Xizhou County Magistrate Lu Zhunshan:
"Lu Zhunshan sent people from Xizhou not only coffee, but also many things that had never been heard of or seen before.
The materials of those things are like copper and iron, but they will not rust. They are tools that have never been recorded in history books. "
"Lu Zhunshan took these things and stayed in the capital for half a month under the pretext of reporting on his work."
"During the past half month, he has visited the residences of Prime Minister Fan and Prince Ning, and has also visited all the ministers who have a say in the court."
Having said that, Xiao Haizhou paused, and finally raised his eyelids, looking calmly at Zhao Mianmian who was stuffing sweet cake into her mouth.
Zhao Mianmian's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she almost choked to death on the sweet cake.
The public screen in the live broadcast room also changed its tone, from the original laughter to cautious and suspicious:
[? Wait, did I hear correctly? Why did Father Xiao tell the anchor about the court affairs? ]
[What's the big deal? Maybe he's too majestic on weekdays and can't find anyone to talk to. He finally caught someone who doesn't know any better, so he can complain to them without any worries? ]
[What the hell, he is a great master of a country, why would he complain to our host? ? ? I think he is testing us to see if our host is an extraordinary person! ]
[That's right, what do you think is that copper-like and iron-like thing that Xiao Haizhou mentioned but never rusts? Could it be stainless steel? ? ]
[Who knows? I know he's testing me left and right, he definitely has no good intentions!]
[Ahh, then the anchor must be careful with his words and not reveal any flaws...]
I don’t know if Zhao Mianmian was choked by the sweet cake or if she felt guilty after seeing the comments on the public screen, but her whole face turned red in an instant.
She picked up the herbal tea on the table and gulped it down. Only then did she feel better. She no longer felt as if she was being roasted on a fire.
Zhao Mianmian put down the teacup in her hand with a "dong" sound, and listened to the man sitting opposite her continue:
"Of course, Lu Zhunshan did not hide it. He directly proposed to His Majesty at the morning court session, hoping to open a sea market and exchange materials, using tea, silk, and porcelain to exchange for those unprecedented new tools from outside."
Xiao Haizhou's words fell, and before Zhao Mianmian could react, the audience in the live broadcast room exploded:
[Fuck! A sea market? Opening a sea market? ? He hasn’t even cleaned up his own house, and he’s still holding a sea market. Is he just bored and wants to turn Tianying into another South America? ? ]
【Ah? What were you talking about before? Isn’t the meaning of opening a sea market to trade with overseas countries and exchange goods?
Considering the backwardness of the host's dynasty, where there is nothing to be desired, opening a sea market can not only exchange for external materials and technology, but also increase the income of coastal fishermen, so there is nothing wrong with that. 】
[Haha, you are really stupid and yet you are still panting. Is it so easy to open a sea market? Do you know what the situation is like outside now?
What if what they attracted were not foreigners willing to barter, but pirates and invaders who burned, killed and looted?
In a dynasty where even explosives were not widely used, if they really attracted pirates with bad intentions, what difference would that make them committing suicide? ? 】
[It’s so scary, I definitely can’t open it, I refuse, I must refuse!!]
[Reject? Are you stupid? Is it our host's turn to say such things?
It is obvious that Xiao Haizhou is testing our anchor. If the anchor really tells us the disadvantages of Kaihai City, I am afraid that he will be caught as an alien by Xuanlin Guards in the next second! 】
[So what do you guys think we should do? You can't just say that the sea market can be opened...]
【??? Are you crazy? You are playing dumb, you must be playing dumb!!
Our host is only four years old, it's normal that he doesn't understand these court affairs, right? 】
As soon as this comment passed by, the 18400 fans online saw Zhao Mianmian's fingers tighten, his face turned pale, and he stammered out a sentence:
"This... no, no... isn't good."
Xiao Haizhou curled the corners of his mouth, with no emotion in his eyes.
The public screen in the live broadcast room was uniformly transformed into a string of candles:
【RIP】
