Chapter 418 Princess Reunion

Chen Jia and Chen Jue have achieved great success in business and have become famous. Their food and business have not only won the admiration of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, but also attracted the attention of many princesses. On this day, Chen Jia's mansion welcomed several distinguished princesses. After hearing about Chen Jia's wonderful experience in the Western Regions and his outstanding achievements in business, they came one after another, hoping to invest in Chen Jia's business, and they were also eager to listen to those mysterious and wonderful stories.

Chen Jia, dressed in a simple yet luxurious outfit, greeted the princesses at the gate of the mansion with a gentle smile. When the princesses' carriages slowly stopped, Chen Jia stepped forward and bowed slightly: "I am honored to have you, princesses. Please come in."

The eldest princess got off the carriage first. She was elegant and smiled as she took Chen Jia's hand. "Madam Chen, I have heard of you for a long time. Today I finally get to meet you. You are indeed extraordinary. We sisters are full of curiosity about your business achievements and your trip to the Western Regions."

Chen Jia smiled modestly and said, "Princess, you are too kind. I just did something I like. It is a great honor for me to be able to meet with you princesses. Please come in and we will chat slowly."

Everyone moved to the spacious and elegant reception room, and the maids quickly served fragrant tea and exquisite snacks. After the princesses sat down one by one, Chen Jia personally poured tea for them and said, "These snacks are the specialties of our mansion. Please try them and see if they suit your taste."

The second princess picked up a piece of beautifully shaped dessert, took a bite, and her eyes lit up: "Well, this taste is really unique, the taste is delicate, sweet but not greasy. Madam Chen, the dessert chef in your house is really skilled."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "As long as the princess likes it. In fact, part of the inspiration for making these snacks comes from our trip to the Western Regions. The ingredients and cooking methods of the Western Regions gave us a lot of inspiration."

The third princess couldn't wait to say, "Madam Chen, please tell us about your experiences in the Western Regions. We are all very curious. I heard that you discovered many unique delicacies and business opportunities there."

Chen Jia nodded slightly, with a gleam of reminiscence in her eyes: "Okay, then I will tell the princesses. The first place we went to was Qiemo in the Western Regions. The Qiemo River there was beautiful, and the vineyards along the river were even more eye-catching. The bunches of green grapes were plump, round, sweet and delicious, and the flavor was very different from the grapes in the Central Plains."

The fourth princess listened attentively and couldn't help asking, "Madam Chen, how did you come up with the idea of ​​developing a business using these grapes?"

Chen Jia thought for a moment and said, "At that time, after my husband and I tasted the grapes from Qiemo, we felt that if such a good ingredient could be introduced to the Central Plains and combined with the Central Plains' planting technology, we would be able to develop a new industry. So we communicated with local fruit farmers, learned about the planting methods and characteristics of grapes, and bought grape seedlings and cucumber seeds to bring back to the Central Plains."

The eldest princess said with great interest: "This idea is really bold and novel. Then, did you encounter any difficulties during the planting process?"

Chen Jia sighed softly and said, "Of course there are difficulties. The transplantation of grape seedlings requires careful care. The climate and soil in the Central Plains are different from those in the Western Regions, so we need to constantly adjust the planting methods. In addition, how to ensure the freshness of the grapes during transportation is also a problem. But we did not give up. After many attempts and improvements, we finally succeeded in growing delicious grapes and developed a trade in wine, raisins and fresh grapes."

The second princess exclaimed: "Madam Chen, you and Master Chen are really determined and wise. In addition to grapes, have you made any other special discoveries in the Western Regions?"

Chen Jia's eyes sparkled as she said, "Of course. We also went to the mysterious Dragon City, where the landforms are peculiar, with mounds everywhere, like a dream city. In Dragon City, we found some calligraphy and manuscripts from the previous dynasty, all in official script. Although the handwriting is a little blurry, you can still see that the strokes are strong and powerful, and there is an ancient charm in the strokes."

The third princess was surprised and asked, "A calligraphy letter? This is a precious cultural heritage. How did you find it?"

Chen Jia recalled the scene at that time and said: "We were walking among the earthen mounds in Longcheng, and my husband accidentally found those old papers in the depression of a mound. We picked them up carefully and took a closer look. They turned out to be calligraphy relics. These calligraphy works are not only treasures of art, but also witnesses of history. They give us a deeper understanding of the culture of the Western Regions."

The fourth princess asked curiously, "Did you bring back these calligraphy letters? How did you deal with them later?"

Chen Jia nodded and said, "We carefully collected those calligraphy manuscripts and brought them back to the Central Plains. After returning, we found professional craftsmen and scholars to study how to repair and protect these precious relics. After months of hard work, we also held a calligraphy exhibition, allowing more people to appreciate the beauty of the official script of the previous dynasty and promoting cultural exchange and inheritance."

The eldest princess said admiringly: "Madam Chen, you and Master Chen have not only achieved success in business, but also contributed to the inheritance of culture. This is really admirable. In addition to these, do you have any other interesting experiences in the Western Regions?"

Chen Jia smiled and continued, "Later, we went to Kunlun Mountain. There, we looked for the legendary Yaochi and the remains of the Queen Mother of the West. Along the way, we saw continuous mountains and vast grasslands. The scenery was magnificent. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, we also encountered an endless grassland, where we rode horses and felt the vastness and freedom of nature."

The second princess said enviously, "Madam Chen, after hearing what you said, I really want to go to the Western Regions to see it myself. Have you found the remains of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West?"

Chen Jia said excitedly: "We found it! At the end of a valley, we saw a sparkling lake. That should be the Yaochi. The water in the lake is crystal clear, showing a strange blue color, surrounded by colorful stones. On one side of the lake, we also found some ancient architectural ruins. Although they are dilapidated, their former glory can still be seen."

The third princess couldn't wait to ask: "Are there any special discoveries in the ruins? Are there any clues about the legend of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Chen Jia pondered and said: "We found some ancient characters and symbols in the ruins, but unfortunately we couldn't understand them. Later we recorded these findings and took them back to find experts for research, hoping to learn more about the story of Queen Mother of the West and Yaochi."

The fourth princess said with emotion: "Madam Chen, your trip to the Western Regions is really full of legends. Is your success in business also due to these unique experiences?"

Chen Jia said seriously: "Indeed. The trip to the Western Regions broadened our horizons and helped us discover many unique business opportunities. For example, the goat barbecue without mutton smell and the fragrant rabbit meat dishes we developed later were all inspired by the ingredients and culture of the Western Regions. Moreover, the experience and problem-solving ability we accumulated during the exploration process also greatly helped our business development."

After hearing this, the eldest princess nodded and said, "Madam Chen, we are deeply inspired by your experience. We came here this time, firstly, to listen to your wonderful stories, and secondly, to invest in your business and create brilliance with you."

Chen Jia said gratefully: "I will always remember the princesses' trust. Our business really needs more support and cooperation. If we can join hands with the princesses, our business territory will surely be broader."

Next, Chen Jia and the princesses began to discuss the specific matters of investment in detail, including the amount of investment, method and future development plan. The princesses put forward their ideas and suggestions one after another, and Chen Jia listened carefully and answered them one by one.

The second princess said, "Madam Chen, I think we can increase our efforts in publicity and promotion to let more people know about our food and culture. For example, we can hold some food festivals or cultural activities."

Chen Jia nodded in agreement: "Princess, you are right. That is exactly what we want to say. Moreover, we can also use modern communication methods, such as letters and picture albums, to spread our products and stories to more distant places."

The third princess continued, "When choosing a location for the store, we can also consider some prosperous commercial areas and tourist attractions to attract more customers."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "The princess is very thoughtful. We will consider all factors and choose the most suitable store location. At the same time, we will also pay attention to the decoration and service of the store to give customers a better experience."

The fourth princess said, "Madam Chen, I also suggest that we develop some special souvenirs, such as tableware and accessories with Western elements, as an extension of our brand."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up: "Princess, your idea is very creative. This will not only increase our source of income, but also further spread our culture. We can arrange personnel to design and produce it as soon as possible."

After a heated discussion, everyone reached a preliminary cooperation intention. Chen Jia and the princesses were full of expectations for the future.

As the sky gradually darkened, the princesses stood up to say goodbye. The eldest princess held Chen Jia's hand and said, "Madam Chen, I have gained a lot from meeting you today. I hope that our cooperation will be a complete success."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry. I will do my best. I look forward to us working together to create a better future."
