Chapter 745
758
Hearing that Barry only punished them to clean the imperial dining room for three months, the maids couldn't believe their ears. Cleaning the imperial dining room was originally their job, so it was not a punishment.

The maids were startled and suspicious, but when they looked up at the smiles on Su Kefang and Barry's lips, they immediately understood that Barry and Su Kefang intended to let them go, and kowtowed to them in gratitude.

Barry saw that Su Kefang had been staring at the donkey skin in the basket just now, and asked the maids to keep the donkey skin when they sent them away. Of course, the maids did not dare to disobey Barry's intention.

"Second aunt, if you want these donkey skins, I'll have them washed and sent to your room." Barry said with a disgusted look at the donkey skins in the basket.

Hearing this, Su Kefang realized why those maids left these donkey skins here, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm just thinking about something, I don't want these donkey skins."

"Second aunt, don't you want to use these donkey skins to make leather clothes to keep out the cold?" Barry was puzzled, otherwise why did Second Aunt stare at the donkey skins in the basket just now?

It was also the first time for Barry to see donkey skin, and he also learned from the palace maid that donkey skin can also be used as leather clothing to keep out the cold.

Su Kefang laughed and said, "I don't lack clothes to keep out the cold, and even if I want leather clothes to keep out the cold, I wouldn't choose donkey skin."

Fox fur is much warmer than donkey fur, and the coats she bought in An Jinguo were all made of fox fur.

Facing the doubt in Shangbali's eyes, Su Kefang just smiled and didn't tell him too much: "We're done visiting the palace, let's go back and find your eldest aunt."

Barry is just a kid, and it's useless to tell him some things.

"Fang'er, I was just about to find you and senior brother." Ge Yan had just walked to the entrance of the main hall when he saw Su Kefang coming in.

Su Kefang thought that Ge Yan had something serious to tell him, so he let Barry and Ze'er play by themselves: "Sister, what's the matter?"

"Your mother-in-law and Princess Chang'an asked the emperor to send someone to bring you some things." Ge Yan said as he led her into the side hall, pointing to several large boxes.

The emperor Ge Yan was referring to was Ouyang Rui. Yao Shi and Ouyang Wanruo heard that Duwa was short of supplies, so they brought some dry goods and clothes for their family of three.

Ouyang Rui saw that these things would not have any impact on An Jin Guo, so he sent someone to bring them over.

Su Kefang opened the box and saw that in addition to dried fungus, dried fish, preserved chicken and preserved duck, preserved lamb legs, etc., there were also some medicinal materials and clothes, and he couldn't help laughing: "My mother and the princess seem to want to take the food at home. Everything was sent to us."

"Your mother-in-law and princess are afraid that you will not have enough food and clothing in Duwa country." Ge Yan joked, happy to find such a husband's family for his sister.

This thing also came from An Jin Kingdom, and it was an exception to open the palace gate today.

"Sister, send these meals to the imperial dining room. I will add a few more dishes tonight, and the medicinal materials will be put away by the emperor's wife." She has all these things in her space, and they are all sent by Ouyang Rui. It can be given to my brother and sister-in-law as Ming Zhengda.

Su Kefang only picked out the clothes sent by her mother-in-law and Ouyang Wanruo, and asked Su Ye to send them back to the room. This was the wish of her mother-in-law and the princess, she couldn't just take nothing.

The palace of the Duwa Kingdom lacks everything now, the food and rare and precious medicinal materials sent by the Yao family and Princess Chang'an are exactly what they need, Ge Yan did not refuse, and directly sent someone to inform Dai Ni to come and pack up the things.

After Diani finished her work, she and Ge Yan Su Kefang sat in the hall to rest, and Su Kefang asked: "Sister-in-law, does Dua have donkey-hide gelatin?"

She also saw those donkey skins just now and realized that she seemed to have never heard of donkey-hide gelatin since she arrived in this dynasty. In Anjin country, few people raise donkeys, and no one knows how to make donkey-hide gelatin. So many people raise donkeys, is there anyone who knows how to make donkey-hide gelatin?
Dai Ni was taken aback and asked, "What is donkey-hide gelatin? Is it eaten or used?"

Hearing Diani's words, Su Kefang had already guessed that no one in Duwa Kingdom knew how to make donkey-hide gelatin, but thinking that Diani had always lived in the remote place where Nuoer concealed his name, maybe he had never heard of it.

After thinking for a while, Su Kefang explained: "Ejiao is a good medicine for nourishing blood, and it is made from donkey skin."

"Can donkey skin be boiled to make tonic?" Ge Yan grasped the key point in Su Kefang's words: "I have been in Duwa country for so long, and I have never heard of 'ejiao'. Call it differently or really not.”

Ge Yan looked at Su Kefang with bright eyes: "Fang'er, do you know how this 'Ejiao' is done?"

"I only know the general method of making donkey-hide gelatin, and I have to ask someone to try it out."

Su Kefang knew what Ge Yan was thinking, but this was also her idea. If Duwa really had "Ejiao", it could be sold to neighboring countries and make a fortune.

Taking a step back, even if donkey-hide gelatin can't be sold to neighboring countries, at least it can be sold to the Northland, making a small profit, which can at least relieve the strain on the national treasury.

Ge Yan and Su Kefang thought of this at the same time, they exchanged a look, and then reminded Dai Ni to keep this matter a secret for now.

Dai Ni glanced at Su Kefang gratefully, but she didn't say any polite words, she just said: "If you need anything, just tell me."

She can't help other things, but after being the first palace, it is still possible to give them some authority.

"Sister-in-law, I will definitely need you to help me find someone when the time comes." Su Kefang laughed.

"I'm going to ask someone to find out what blood-enriching things are available in Duwa Kingdom?" Ge Yan said and was about to go out.

Ge Yan is engaged in intelligence and has a cautious temperament. It is impossible for her to disclose the news that donkey skin can be boiled into a good blood-enriching medicine. As long as the people below find out that there is no such thing as donkey-hide gelatin in the blood-enriching supplements in Dua Kingdom.

"Sister, didn't you say that the gate of the palace cannot be opened these few days?" Su Kefang said intentionally, no matter how anxious it is at this moment.

"Now I find that opening the palace gate doesn't necessarily mean leaking money, maybe it's making money?" Ge Yan smiled meaningfully at Su Kefang, lifted his legs and went out.

The monarchs of all dynasties in the Dua Kingdom were very superstitious, thinking that if the palace gates were opened during the new year, they might lose money in the new year, so there was a saying that the palace gates were not opened during the New Year.

Ge Yan's subordinates were efficient in their work, and the information they had found was sent back to the palace that night.

Ge Yan took the list sent by his subordinates and looked over one by one, and found that the supplements in Duwa Kingdom were all plant-based, and there was no donkey-hide gelatin. He was ecstatic and found Su Kefang early the next morning.

"Fang'er, there is no donkey-hide gelatin in Duwa!" Ge Yan looked at Su Kefang expectantly.
