821 Opportunity to Persuade
"White butler?!" Lao Sha stood up suddenly, a tall man, the sun shone on him from the window, and the shadow completely enveloped Bai Ke, "Why do you have time to come here today?" ā
"Looking for toys, the toys I bought with you last time were well received, and now people want a few fresh ones."
"Toys? Yes, yes, I've made a few in the past few days, and I'll get it for you. ā
After getting along with the locals these days, Lao Sha's Beijing dialect learning is getting better and better, and he is much more fluent, and he hurriedly opened the drawer under the table and took out a small bag.
"I've been doing it all the past few days."
Bai Ko opened it and looked at it, they were all small toys with a clockwork principle, and they could still make a sound.
"Well, yes, where's my timer?" The conversation turned without warning.
"There are some, I have done several, but I haven't calibrated it yet, so I originally thought I'd show it to you in a few days."
"How long does it take to calibrate? I'm going out to see a noble person in the afternoon, can you let me take one with me? Not reluctantly, it must be a finished product that can be used, and it will be too late to forget it, it is a very noble person, and you can't fool around with semi-finished products with errors. ā
Lao Sha thought about it and nodded without hesitation.
"No problem, I'll give you one before noon."
"Okay, then I'll go back first, you can get it and send it directly."
Bai Ko returned to the house with toys to prepare for entering the palace in the afternoon, Lao Sha as he said, sent a calibrated timer before noon, Bai Ko was in the small kitchen to make a real yĆ n, asked the girls to use a small soup cup to steam egg custard, and then screwed the timer roughly the time required and then put it aside, let the girls go to work on something else.
The ticking of the countdown can still be heard clearly in this busy kitchen, so that the girls go to the steamer from time to time to look around, and when the bell rings, everyone who heard the bell for the first time is startled, and some people even scream, and then laugh out loud after reacting to what the sound is.
Bai Ko went to the steamer to check the condition of the custard, the timer went accurately, she was also accurate, the custard was just the most perfect time, immediately removed from the stove, put it in hot water to keep warm.
The result made Bai Ko very satisfied, the mechanical timer that can be timed for half an hour at the longest, Lao Sha's ability to make finished products in these few days is still quite good.
After having lunch in a hurry, Bai Ko set off with all her things, took a nap in the car, and when she woke up, she arrived outside the palace gate leading to the East Palace, and the palace guards had already been ordered, and a small sedan chair was waiting for her inside the door.
The sedan chair took Bai Ko to the East Palace first, Bai Ko knocked on the princess, presented the new toys he brought, and the timer, and the timer was matched with a few baby food recipes, cooking is simple, and it can be done in the pantry.
The toy blanket and storage stool that were specially given to the little emperor and grandson last time are now used daily in the East Palace, especially when the weather is good, take the little emperor and grandson to the courtyard to bask in the sun, and a stool can fit everything.
The toy-like timer made the princess and the lord of Jingyun feel curious, Bai Ko borrowed the teapot to boil water to demonstrate, and when the time was set, she put it on the tea table, she went to the princess to explain in detail the practice of those complementary foods, and when the time came, the bell rang loudly, and everyone looked up to see that the kettle was popping and steaming, and the water was boiling.
The county lord of Jingyun couldn't stop laughing, and ran to the tea table to get the timer, and the crown princess was also happy, and asked the palace maids to clean up, she wanted to take it to the queen to see a fresh one.
"Bai Ko, you also went with the palace, there is business to discuss, the furniture you sent last time, in addition to the dressing mirror with the hanging rod, the dresser with the clamshell is the most praised, so the bright mirror is actually quite scary at night, or hide it with peace of mind."
"Yes, slave and maid obey." There is business to talk about, and Bai Ko naturally has a smile on his face.
The palace maids quickly prepared, and a large group of people came to the queen's palace in a mighty manner.
After Bai Ko knocked on the queen, the two sides really talked about business seriously, but while talking, the topic went off track and went to the market anecdotes.
But this is also normal, the queen has lived in the palace for a long time, and it is normal for people to want to learn more about the new things on the street.
The queen is the number one customer, and she has to do her best to serve it, who calls the customer God.
This kind of small talk was naturally difficult to keep the theme, and the lord of Jingyun took out the timer to show the imperial grandmother, and immediately the palace maids set up the tea table and waited together to see this wonderful new kitchen tool.
When the bell rang, everyone present couldn't help but clap their hands and laugh when they saw the boiling kettle, but Bai Ko keenly noticed that the palace maid's eyes glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and suddenly knew it.
"This timer is really a must-have gadget in the kitchen, you can leave it temporarily when you set it, and then come back to do the rest when you hear the bell, if the price is right in the future, the majority of housewives should like it."
"What the queen mother said is that Bai Ko also brought several recipes for babies and toddlers, the ingredients and cooking are very simple, you can make it in my pantry, use this timer to set the time, and you don't have to sit in front of the stove all the time."
"It's a small object that only a chef can think of, but it's also a skill to find a skilled craftsman to make a real thing. Bai Ko, there are a lot of people under your hands now. ā
"It's all thanks to the blessing of the imperial court, and we were given the errand of the prince and the emperor, and then we slowly gathered a group of capable craftsmen."
"You little cook is a sweet mouth, since you can write recipes for babies and young children, it is better to write a few more, I heard that Tong Mingli is going back to the Liang family to send her husband to the end, she is the lady of your Gu Mansion, you write her a few good recipes for her to take back."
"Niangniang, haven't we heard that this young lady is pregnant?"
"Liang Zhongshan naturally can't give birth like this, but it doesn't mean that she can't raise children."
Empress Ye had a light expression on her face, raised her hand slightly and turned her wrist, and the palace maids in the hall suddenly walked clean.
"So, Niangniang, has the Liang family decided to have a step-heir?"
"There have been rumors that have come out, and this kind of thing is spreading to the harem very quickly, and it will probably be a day or two late when you hear about it."
"If Miss Cousin really needs infant recipes, as relatives, as long as the prince commands, the slave and maid will do their best."
"But this palace heard that Tong Mingli deliberately remarried and did not observe the festival, and Liang Zhongshan wants to pass the step-heir, will she treat it sincerely?"
"It's embarrassing for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old mother to raise an heir, and it's full of crisis."
Since anticipating the possibility of the Liang family having a step-heir, Bai Ko has this point of view, and this is a good opportunity to elaborate on this point of view.
