Chapter 302: The Profligate

```

Prince Fu's advisor, named Liu Yu, was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. In his youth, he was a renowned scholar known for his vast knowledge but got stuck at the Imperial Scholar level, unable to advance for twenty years. Eventually, he gave up his official career aspirations and took service under Prince Fu, where he gradually became trusted and turned into one of Prince Fu's confidants among his advisors.

Previously, the flavored butter cheese and pastry recipes sent to the imperial palace by Prince Yu were highly praised by His Majesty, earning a deep place in the Emperor's favor, further ingraining his affection for them. People in Prince Yu's service who had dealt in the lands of the Northern Barbarians mentioned that cheese and butter were not considered rare in the North, where they were commonplace wherever people could be found. It was just that Prince Yu had used the right methods to process these goods and found a good use for them.
