Chapter 242: A Box of Mooncakes
That night, Lin Yu's moon cakes were widely and warmly welcomed, Yin Susu, who loves sweetness, not to mention, even ate a stomach of wine and food, and Xiaobai, who came back in the middle of dinner, also ate two moon cakes.
Chefs, like writers, may not be the biggest motivator in terms of money, but the affirmation and support of others for their achievements. Anyway, Lin Yu is like this, looking at the sweetness of everyone's eating, she plans to make persistent efforts, and strive to make jujube paste, five kernels, sesame, peanuts, chestnuts, these more common moon cakes tomorrow, if there is enough time, then make a little new moon cakes, snow skin or ice cream moon cakes and the like.
"If it's like this, it should sell a lot, and it's much better than ordinary flan flavor." Yin Susu thought for a while and said, "However, it is impossible to have a dessert business as big, after all, no matter how many types of fillings and how good the taste is, it is just the same food." ”
Lin Yu nodded and smiled, "I know that I didn't have much of a plan originally, I can earn a hundred taels of silver a month, and I have a thousand two hundred taels a year, which is already a lot." ”
"One hundred taels, you are underestimating this, I look at it, there are no less than three or five hundred taels a month." Yin Susu smiled, "That's it, you prepare it first, at least the amount should be enough, and the filling should be richer." I'll send some to the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion ”
"I originally had a share of the dessert shop, so I just gave it to the recipe, but I want to sell it directly at the restaurant." Lin Yu is very generous.
"You're only 20% of the group, so don't shirk it. My brother is still settling accounts. Yin Susu said with a smile.
Xiaobai ate the last mooncake, heard the two chatting about business for a while, and suddenly remembered another thing. "I've been drinking a little too much today, and I've almost forgotten something important."
"What's the matter?" Yin Susu stopped discussing with Lin Yuqingqing and said.
"It's really just a business thing, but it's in the way of my friend. I don't know if Sister Lu Dao has heard of Baiwan Villa? "Xiaobaidao.
"Is that the one you named the second owner?" Yin Susu said with a smile, "It's your business, how can my sister not know the truth?" Moreover, Baiwan Villa has also gained some fame in the past two years, and the trade business of horse fur has been doing well, and the owner of the village has heard that his martial arts are also high. There are many capable people in the village. ”
Xiao Bai smiled, "Brother Wan, the owner of Baiwan Villa, wants to sell glass to the west, because the third prince is one step ahead. said that the Zhang family guaranteed a cheap price for them, and originally planned to contact the Zhang family first. It's just that the Zhang family can't be idle today, and when they met me again, I pulled this business over. Doesn't the fertile water flow into the fields of outsiders? ”
"You're getting more capable. Even the business will be done, and I will ask the chief steward to contact them when I go back to this matter. Yin Susu looked at his younger brother and smiled very gently, and for a while he remembered the other brother he saw during the day, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Don't bury me." Xiaobai smiled, "I've eaten today, so I'm going for a walk to eliminate my appetite." ”
After saying that, he was the first to get up and go out. Qingqing also stood up and said with a smile, "I still have to sort out some experience in perfumery." I'm going to go back first. ”
In the blink of an eye, there were two people left in the house, Yin Susu and Lin Yu.
"Let's change places, too, so that they can remove the remnants of the seats." Yin Susu said with a smile, "Go to the Zhubian Pavilion to sit, the breeze and the moon are bright, the green bamboo is swaying, and it is not bad to drink a good cup of tea." ”
Lin Yu smiled, "I don't dare to ask for it." ”
It is said to be a bamboo pavilion, in fact, it is closer to a water pavilion, built along the lake, adjacent to the quiet and verdant bamboo forest, Yahuan took the tea, and then retreated.
"What did you see when you went to the Yuanhou Mansion in that town today?" Yin Susu held the fine white porcelain tea bowl, gently skimmed the tea leaves floating on the emerald green tea water with his plain hands, and took a sip.
"It's nothing special, it's just a little thing about the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, I went to see Cuiru, and it seems that she doesn't know that the kid in Lu Dao is not Lu Pingzhi." Lin Yu said.
"It's hard to say, maybe she really doesn't know Lu Dao, what happened at that time, who knows Lu Dao? However, don't underestimate Cuiru, this woman is not simple, but unfortunately, she can't really be used by me. ”
Yin Su's red lips bloomed with a faint smile, one hand on the bamboo railing, the aqua blue sleeves slipped down from her snow-white wrists, revealing her delicate arms as white as mutton fat and white jade, and the jade bracelet on her wrist that was like blue water exuded an intoxicating brilliance under the candlelight that swayed slightly under the eaves.
Every aspect of this woman is exquisite and gorgeous, even if it is a woman, Lin Yu was fascinated by this beauty for a while, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Sister does things, I don't need to question it." There's just one more thing that makes me a little suspenseful. I went to see Zhang Wan'er, but she said, the person who laughs the most is the winner, I suspect that the three princes may have any hole cards. ”
"It's normal to have hole cards." Yin Susu smiled, "These princes are not ordinary people, and me and the third prince are far from the point of life and death." ”
It is indeed not the third prince who is to the point of life and death with Yin Susu, thinking of the upcoming war, Lin Yu paused, and said, "This time, sister, are you still leading the team out of Beijing?" Or do you want to sit in the capital? ”
"Last time, after we talked here, I thought about it and felt that what you said made sense, at least, I want to live to watch the Zhang family and the Chen family fall."
Every year, Yin Susu will leave Beijing, saying that she is going to worship her ancestors and go to the grave, but in fact, she mainly deals with some tricky affairs in person, and there are many dangers, especially when she was not in such a high position at the beginning, she has experienced a lot of difficulties. Last time, Yin Susu talked about some thrills that have passed for a long time and don't need to be kept secret.
Lin Yu did not praise her courage and resourcefulness, and her scheming, but persuaded her that the gentleman should not stand under the dangerous wall, and although the matter of revenge was urgent, it was necessary to preserve vitality. At least if Uncle Yin knew in heaven, I am afraid that he would prefer to see her safe and sound, rather than die with the enemy.
Although Yin Susu also understood in her heart, but the situation back then, if she hadn't made a dangerous move. I'm afraid it's hard to get ahead, it's hard to get strong power, and I don't have power in my hands. Revenge is just talk. But now, she is considered the most powerful woman today, so she doesn't have to take such a big risk.
It's just that she used to travel in person before, although there were once desperate situations that endangered her life, in the end, she also got out of danger with her extraordinary wisdom and beauty, which can be regarded as a thrill. Therefore. This time, she originally planned to go out of Beijing to personally command some layouts, but Lin Yu persuaded her like this, and she thought about it for two days. Changed his mind and decided to stay in Kyori to sit in the town and plan.
"It's best if my sister thinks so." Lin Yu lay on the railing, and the hand holding the teacup also stretched out, watching the bright moon reflected in the green tea in the cup shake and ripple and shatter with her movements. He smiled slightly.
"Although the Chen family and the Zhang family work together. It can't be compared with the imperial court, but since they can assassinate the prince and princess through the encirclement, and also assassinate the crown prince, the assassins under their command should not be underestimated, there must be a lot of them, and there must be top masters. Sister, although you are very smart, you don't know martial arts after all. is a martial arts master, poisoning assassination and other methods are used well, and it is not impossible to ask for life. ”
"Be careful, there's no fault. Your temperament is not bad, careful people always live long. As soon as she raised her head, Yin Susu drank all the tea in the cup, her expression was rare and a little sad, and her voice was rarely soft and transparent, mixed with a little sigh.
"In the final analysis, I have contributed everything I have to the Yin family, if the Zhang and Chen families can still turn the tables in this way, it is the destiny of heaven, then I have nothing to do."
After ten years of exhaustion, sleepless days and nights, Yin Susu is probably very tired, Lin Yu has such an understanding in her heart, but after all, this is her choice, and it is her fate, she has never regretted it, how can there be a place for others to intervene?
The bright moon gradually rose from the willow tops, until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the wind gradually brought coolness, about the recent things, the two chatted for a long time, and then they went back to rest, after Lin Yu went back, he glanced at the model of the jade-topped golden palace placed in a conspicuous position on the table, sighed slightly, and shook his head silently.
"Narcissus, come and serve me, wash and sleep."
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Yu was very motivated, got up early in the morning to prepare to make all kinds of moon cakes, after Xiaobai practiced martial arts, he had nothing to do, and he also came to help. Even Yin Susu, who has nothing to do today, stretched out her ten fingers of Qianqian, which is not touching the spring water, and learned to make cakes for a few months.
If a person is really smart, then he is excellent in most aspects, such as Yin Susu. Although she never cooks on weekdays, she has completed the first trial of mooncakes better than the cooks who have been practicing for a day.
"I don't know who is lucky enough to eat the mooncakes made by our peerless beauty." Lin Yu looked at it for a long time and said with a smile, "Do you want to make a mark?" ”
"Not at all, I made it myself, I can recognize it." Yin Susu also joked, "No one is qualified to eat the mooncakes I make, only I deserve to enjoy them." ”
Everyone joked, Lin Yu taught these cooks how to cook, and he didn't do it himself, after all, the work of the kitchen, although it is technical work, can also be regarded as physical work. Although she has recovered from a serious illness last year, her physical condition is not particularly good, so she still needs to take care of her body more and not worry too much.
On this day, together with the results of several of them, as well as the labor of the cooks and miscellaneous servants, a total of nearly 100 catties of various mooncakes were made. Except for a few of the mooncakes they made themselves, most of the others were distributed to relatives and friends in various mansions that Yin Susu knew.
As one of Yin Susu's only few close relatives, Yin Xing, who had just returned from the Qinglou, also saw the moon cakes sent by Yin Susu. However, he only came back from Cuiyi Building at noon, and he didn't meet the people who delivered moon cakes, and he didn't know that after those people went back, they added fuel and vinegar to talk about his deeds in Qinglou, which made Yin Susu's originally happy face gloomy.
"This little cake tastes really good." Yin Xing opened the lid of the food box, and there were two layers of moon cakes inside. He casually took a mooncake filled with cream chestnuts and tasted it, was very satisfied with the taste, bent his eyes with a smile, and ate one in a few bites.
"It's a new style of mooncake that Miss Yu came up with." The servant who served him smiled, "Because the taste is surprisingly good, all the prefectures have been delivered." ”
Miss Yu? Yin Xing has been fighting with the Oiran of Cuiyi Building in the past few days, but he temporarily forgot the purple-clothed girl he met that day, and this box of moon cakes reminded him of it again. (To be continued.) )
