<h4>Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Imperial Decree Arrives</h4>


    Yui Restaurant


    A group of mounted government officers stopped at the entrance, and after dismounting, they filed into the restaurant, causing the diners to halt their actions in rm, thinking something serious had happened at Yui Restaurant.


    A voice rang out, "Imperial Decree has arrived, Yui Restaurant receive the decree!"


    Upon hearing this, everyone’s jaws almost dropped. An Imperial Decree was no small matter, and they had never encountered such a scene before. They immediately knelt down to worship and quietly awaited the contents of the decree.


    "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, Yui Restaurant’s spicy cabbage and pickled cabbage are to be designated as national dishes, to benefit the people! Let it be known!"


    "Thank the Emperor!" Shopkeeper Wang had also never received a decree before. Since the owner was not present, he had to receive it himself. He was puzzled; the main branch of Yui Restaurant wasn’t even in their county, so why was the decree issued here?


    After the group delivering the Imperial Decree had left, the diners immediately erupted into amotion.


    "My goodness, it’s really an Imperial Decree!"


    "Shopkeeper Wang, congrattions! The pickled cabbage has be a national dish!"


    "I must buy some national dishes; it would be so prestigious to serve it when guestse over!"


    "Yes, yes, yes, shopkeeper, give me a jar!"


    "Give me two jars!"


    "..."


    "..."


    This news hadpletely overshadowed a poisoning incident; they had long since put their fears of being poisoned out of their minds.


    It was a national dish, an honor bestowed by the Emperor; owning it would definitely enhance their prestige.


    Those who had made purchases immediately began notifying their rtives and friends. Before long, the news that spicy cabbage and pickled cabbage were designated as national dishes had spread throughout the streets and alleys.


    Everyone was rushing and squeezing to buy the spicy cabbage and pickled cabbage. The leftover stock that no one dared to buy due to the poisoning incident was nowpletely sold out.


    Shopkeeper Wang couldn’t stop smiling; he had been worrying about how to sell off these pickled cabbages, but now the issue had been resolved with a single Imperial Decree.


    Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming had just left the prison when they saw this scene on the street. Xiaoxiao really couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Da Jin Tui; who exactly was he? She felt hopeless about their situation, but he had resolved it with just one decree.


    Now thinking about it, having status truly made things easier. Comparisons can truly kill, and Li Fugui’s case was a clear example—so remote yet dominated by just one magistrate.


    "Yang Ming, it’s really good to be an officer!" she couldn’t help but exim.


    "..." Does his wife fancy the life of an officer?


    "Really, it’s nice to have shade under arge tree, and having connections makes things easier!"


    "..."


    "If only one could be both rich and powerful!"


    After hearing this, Yang Ming felt a mix of emotions; he was just a farmer and couldn’t give anything to his wife. "Xiaoxiao, I will try my best!"


    "..." Try his best at what?


    He nned to try his best to pass the exams, earn money, and be a person with both power and wealth.


    The two then walked to Yui Restaurant. "Uncle Wang, is everything sold out?"


    "You’re here, yes, everything’s sold out, no more worries now." Shopkeeper Wang couldn’t contain his joy, continuously beaming with happiness.


    "Uncle Wang, I have something to discuss today!"


    "Sure, let’s talk in the private room."


    So the three of them headed to the private room. "What’s the matter?"


    Yang Ming began to speak. Since overturning the case was not an option, at least for now, he wanted to help solve the issue ofpensation. "Shopkeeper Wang, about the affair of Li Fuguipensating fifty thousand taels, you’ve heard that he’s been disowned by his family. Now, all he has left is that cabbage. Could he use the cabbage as apensation for now? For the rest, when autumnes, we can help him make pickled cabbage and use an equivalent amount of pickled cabbage topensate?"
