The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1014 Exchanging for Gold!

After everyone took their seats, no one spoke for a moment as they watched the manager of Zuixianlou personally lead several waiters to serve the dishes.

Plates of exquisite dishes were laid out on a large round table. They were all signature dishes of Zuixianlou, with a good balance of meat and vegetables, and a fragrant aroma.

Finally, two unique dishes were served. One was golden and crispy fried chicken, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it look very appetizing. The other was perfectly grilled steak, with slightly charred edges and an enticingly tender interior.

These two dishes were originally given to Chu Chenjing by Ouyang Yunyao, and now they are the signature dishes of Zuixianlou. They are highly sought after because of their unique flavor. The lettuce served on the side was provided by Ouyang Yunyao's estate.

She specifically ordered these two dishes today because she wanted to see if the blond foreigners in this other world ate similar Western food to that of her original world.

Prince Joliv and his entourage stared at the table laden with dishes, their eyes practically glued to the food. In truth, Chu Chenjing had only prepared about ten dishes, yet they were already astonished.

During the meal, the blond men repeatedly exclaimed, "Delicious! Delicious! It's absolutely delicious!" Especially when they tasted the fried...

When he saw the chicken leg and steak, his eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment; the taste was clearly superior to what his countrymen made.

They exchanged glances and fell silent. They were all secretly puzzled. Wasn't this continent supposed to be far more backward than theirs? Why did this place seem so different from what they thought?

After the meal, Chu Chenjing gestured for everyone to move to the tea table by the window and sit down. The innkeeper personally served the shop's finest tea, and the aroma of tea filled the room.

Chu Chenjing picked up his teacup, took a graceful sip, and then said to the guests, "Your Highness, why don't you try some tea from our Western Chu Kingdom?"

Henry immediately translated these words to the prince and the others, and the group, imitating Chu Chenjing, picked up their teacups and carefully took a sip.

As the clear, sweet tea slid down his throat, Prince Joliv's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Good water! Delicious! What kind of water is this?"

"This is the water we use to brew our tea," Chu Chenjing replied casually.

“Tea, this is good, we should take some back with us,” Prince Joliv said to Henry.

During their conversation, the group learned that their fleet had landed in the vicinity of the Yue Rong Kingdom, and that they consisted of three large ships. From their conversation, Ouyang Yunyao learned that their fleet not only carried muskets, but also had homemade cannons on board.

It seems their technology is indeed more advanced than that of the Yuzhou mainland, and by a significant margin, as they are even capable of building large ships for navigation.

She frowned slightly, whispered a few words to Chu Chenjing, and exchanged a glance. No wonder they dared to come to their continent so boldly.

After a moment's thought, Ouyang Yunyao looked at Prince Jolif and the other blond men, her tone tinged with curiosity: "Your Highness, you have been sailing at sea for three months. Why are you so sure you can find another continent?"

“Your Highness, it is like this,” Prince Joliv looked at them, paused, and continued, “Our country has a highly skilled royal advisor who advised my father that there is another continent on the other side of the sea, inhabited by people.”

“Your national advisor is indeed amazing. How did he predict it?” Ouyang Yunyao suspected that this person might also be a time traveler.

"He said he calculated it, but I don't know?"

"Oh? What if you don't find our continent?"

"It's alright. Our ship is loaded with enough food and water to last a year. If we don't see any land after sailing for another two months, we'll turn back."

"Did you see any other landmasses while you were at sea?" Ouyang Yunyao asked curiously.

"Yes! We found two islands. Although there are no people on the islands, there are lakes and fresh water."

Ouyang Yunyao thought for a moment and then asked, "You haven't encountered a hurricane during your three-month voyage?"

“We encountered this several times, and the biggest one almost capsized our large ship, but thankfully it didn’t.” A blond man next to the prince recalled.

As she asked the questions, Ouyang Yunyao translated these words for Chu Chenjing, Han Fengli, and Princess Ronghui.

At this moment, Chu Chenjing spoke up: "Your Highness, besides looking around, what brings you to Western Chu?"

After Henry translated Chu Chenjing's words, Prince Joli and his entourage's eyes lit up. They had traveled all the way from Yue Rong Kingdom and already knew that this continent was not as advanced as their country. Many things that they had were not available here. When their royal advisor asked them to bring these things over, they did not believe him.

When they landed from the sea, they had already exchanged some goods with the Yue Rong Kingdom, the first country they entered. However, the Yue Rong Kingdom was not wealthy and had few resources.

The people there told them that the Western Chu Kingdom was wealthy, and that if they came here, they could definitely sell their rare items and take gold back with them.

Thinking of this, Prince Joliv couldn't help but smile. He said directly, "We have brought some novel items from our country and wish to trade with your country, or exchange goods."

Chu Chenjing smiled knowingly and said, "Your Highness! Are you here to do business with us? What novel and interesting items have you brought?"

He had already discussed this privately with Ouyang Yunyao and Han Fengli. Even if these blond people had weapons, they would never dare to attack their Yuzhou continent. After all, they only had a few ships and people, and they were only here to do business.

Upon hearing this, a blond man standing next to Prince Joliv immediately got up, opened the wooden box beside him, and took out what they considered to be valuable items: several exquisite glass mirrors.

He handed the mirror to Chu Chenjing and the others, saying smugly, "This is a mirror made in our country. You've probably never seen one like it before, have you?"

Princess Ronghui looked in the mirror and couldn't help but say, "That's it?" She pouted and wanted to continue, but Ouyang Yunyao tugged at her, and she immediately understood and fell silent.

At this moment, Ouyang Yunyao deliberately picked up the mirror and looked at it, saying, "What do you want to exchange with us for this mirror?"

The blond man was delighted to see Ouyang Yunyao looking at herself in the mirror. He thought to himself, "This prince has brought his princess along. These mirrors are specifically for women, and the princess understands their language. If she says it's good, the prince will definitely think so too." He imagined they could exchange their goods for chests of gold. So he happily said:

"Your Highness! Look how clearly this mirror reflects people! This item will definitely be very popular here. We'll trade it for gold!"

"Oh! Gold?" Ouyang Yunyao instantly understood. So gold is a hard currency everywhere! "Then how much gold do you need for this mirror?"
