Yun'er's small kitchen only has three people: Mama Jiang and the rough girl Qing'er and Ji'er, and Mama Lin often comes to help cook. Only cooking for Yun'er, Mama Jiang is still busy, if you make pastries and cold drinks, it will not be enough.

Yun'er asked Fu Jin to send sister-in-law Xi from the big kitchen to learn how to make pastries in the small kitchen, and Fu Jin agreed immediately. Don't look at Sister-in-law Xi's appearance is tall and big, but in fact she is a very careful and serious person, with a very good brain and a good reader. Yun'er asked Mama Jiang in advance, for fear that they wouldn't get along. Mama Jiang is open-minded: "The master is doing the right thing, who does he want to be blessed." The slave maid has heard of Sister-in-law Xi's personality, which is very good, you can rest assured, the slave maid will not be discordant with her. ”

Most people are wary of strangers, not to mention that Sister-in-law Xi is still the head of the big kitchen. Mama Jiang still has a sense of distance from her, but the master has to do the right thing, how can she not let people come because she doesn't like it?

Sister-in-law Xi didn't want to come, she did a good job in the big kitchen, she was familiar with everything, and the partners around her were also familiar with it, and she had the final say. Going to the small kitchen of Fujin really made her sweat: back then, she treated Master Yun as a girl, and the matter of Hongxiaodou was also a secret to herself, and she was afraid that Master Yun would take revenge on herself for some reason, otherwise, why did so many female chefs in the kitchen pick herself?

Sister-in-law Xi beat a drum in her heart and came to Feiyun Tower to report for duty. It just so happened that Yun'er was talking to a few teaching grandmothers in the hall downstairs, and Sister-in-law Xi was allowed to come here after the communication. The first time we met, I had to bow down, and my sister-in-law knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "The slave and maid greet the master, the master is auspicious!" ”

"Sister-in-law Xi, are you here? Excuse me, hurry up. I'm a little busy here to bring you here temporarily. I'm ready to do pastry, you're doing a good job on the pastry, and you're literate. You learn a few dim sum from me, go back and teach it to the master who specializes in pastry in the future, and then it's good to sell. How, are you willing to learn? ”

"Yes! Slaves are willing to learn! "I heard that she was learning art, and sister-in-law Xi hurriedly kowtowed to Yun'er. Where did you find such a good opportunity? The fear of retribution was immediately thrown back to the back of his head.

"Master, the slave and maid are very stupid, you can beat and scold, just don't drive the slave and maid back." The idea changed so quickly, and the matter of learning art is something that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and you have to learn it when you catch up.

"What am I hitting you for? I've heard that you have a good brain and an easy-going temper, so let's learn first. My Mama Jiang here also has a good character, she won't bully you, you get along well. ”

"Yes, slave remembers."

"Then you can go to Mama Jiang, she will give you an apron and washing supplies, you first familiarize yourself with the environment, and then go back and explain the errand in the big kitchen clearly, and you will officially come to the errand tomorrow."

"Yes, slave and maid obey." Sister-in-law Xi exited the hall, her back soaked with sweat. I thought that Master Yun would have to find a stubble to clean up and clean up himself, and come down to repay the previous disrespect. Who knew that he didn't even mention half a word! Did you forget it or settle the account after the fall? Sister-in-law Xi came to the small kitchen nervously.

"Mama Jiang, the slave has come to report to you." Sister-in-law Xi half-bowed her head and respectfully came to Mama Jiang.

"Oh, it's Sister-in-law Xi, come in!" Mama Jiang's attitude was very enthusiastic, and she pulled Sister-in-law Xi's steamed bun-like fat hand and said in her heart: "You don't have to be nervous, and don't tell me about you, yours, we are all the same people." The master wants to teach us to make snacks, I am really too busy to make you condescend. ”

"Where does Mama Jiang say, the slave is a worker, where can she say condescension? To have the opportunity to learn art with the master is a blessing for three lives. I also hope that Mama Jiang will give advice. ”

"You're polite, you're polite, the words in your mouth are much better than mine. The master instructed you to give you a few things that we can use in the kitchen, that is, to wipe the stove, tables and chairs. Let's keep this kitchen clean all the time. The prince has a habit of cleanliness, and the master also loves cleanliness. Come on, I'll tell you about it. ”

Early the next morning, sister-in-law Xi came. When he came, he began to work, kneeling on the ground and mopping the floor. Mama Jiang hurriedly pulled her up: "We have a mop in the kitchen, and you can wipe the floor while standing." Why bother? Come, I'll tell you, just fill half a bucket of water with this bucket, put the mop head in it and get wet and wring it out, and then wipe it like this. If you feel that the mop head is dirty, put it in a bucket and wipe it again. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Sister-in-law Xi took it and gave it a try, which really saved effort. She is a fat person, and fat women have very fat bellies, and it is very uncomfortable to kneel on the ground. Now it's okay, wipe it and clean a large piece.

"We also have a mop sent by Fujin in our kitchen, but we are reluctant to use it, and we don't know how to use it. How nice is that. "Sister-in-law Xi is still energetic.

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law Xi, let's rest, I don't know which of us is older, I'm thirty-two years old."

"I'm thirty-four."

"Then I'll call you sister. Sister Xi, this flat bottle with a mouth is called oil smoke. There are oil stains on the stove, spray it like this, and then wipe it with a rag, it is very clean, and then wipe it again, and wash the rag. ”

"Thank you for the advice, thank you." Sister-in-law Xi nodded. The heart said that Master Yun, a little girl who didn't know how to be humble back then, has really become the climate......

Yun'er painted in the morning, had lunch and took a nap, and taught Mama Jiang, Sister-in-law Xi and others to make pastries in the small kitchen. Start with bread and follow the recipe with care and meticulousness. Mama Jiang has already learned, but she can't read and write, and she can't remember everything by memorization. It just so happened that Sister-in-law Xi learned from scratch, and Mama Jiang followed suit, and Mama Lin also learned here. They were using another very formal oven that Yun'er had brought back from the foreign land, which could burn coal. Yu'er Shui Er has mastered the use of Arabic numerals, and the temperature numbers on the oven are all Arabic numerals, so it is still very convenient to use. The process of making bread is not complicated, but it is not sloppy at all. Once something goes wrong, it will fall short. Yun'er gave a demonstration performance to Mama Jiang and Sister-in-law Xi, and the two worked closely together to make creamy croissants, green tea bread, meat floss bread, coconut bread, etc. After the tasting and affirmation of Wang Ye Fujin, Yun'er taught the three bread masters to make new cakes. Cakes are the same as bread, and it is not difficult to master the specific recipe and control the temperature and time of the oven. However, the recipe is to be kept in absolute secrecy. They have made a variety of Western-style cakes, such as marble cakes, grape roll cakes, jam cakes, sesame cakes and tiger skin cakes. Thanks to the birth of homemade cream, birthday cakes were also born. Everyone was shocked how the current cloud master could be so capable, it was too powerful! The flowers on that birthday cake are even more beautiful than the real thing! The fish and water, the cook Jiang Mama, and the sister-in-law Xi around Master Yun have all become dazzling stars, and even Mama Lin, who often helps, is also famous.

Just in time for Fujin's birthday, Yun'er made her a big birthday cake, and around the creamy longevity peach, there was a circle of watery roses. I like Fujin so much that I can't afford to eat that cake, and I can't get enough of it just by looking at it. If it weren't for the prince's repeated urging her to blow out the birthday candles and share the cake with everyone, maybe she would have to see when.

Not only Xuan'er and Rui'er's two children, but also Mama Zheng's grandson, Mama Liu's granddaughter, Mama's daughter, Ji'er's son, and Shui'er's son were all brought to the house to taste all kinds of dim sum. Seven or eight children got a birthday cake, and all the white cream they ate without a nose or face made everyone laugh.

Fu Jin thanked Yun'er from the bottom of his heart for giving her such a surprise, such enjoyment and satisfaction!

Now is the time when the fruits are ripening one after another, and there is nothing else, buy the fruits. Wang Ye began to discuss with Mr. Chen, Ma Yuanwai, and Mr. Bai in the bookkeeper how to buy fruits, and make canned food, preserved fruits, and jam. Fruits from the counties around Gyeonggi are not very expensive, and it is okay to buy them nearby. Nearby Zhili (Hebei) produces apples, pears, yellow peaches, plums, chestnuts, walnuts, grapes, hawthorns, jujubes and other fruits and nuts.

While planning the purchase of fruits, the prince pondered the grafting of fruit trees, just thinking about how to successfully cultivate red Fuji apples and red grapes. He has already learned the technique of grafting fruit trees in foreign lands, and it may take a few years to be able to eat exotic red Fuji apples and red grapes. Then you have to cultivate saplings, and everything is easy to do with a greenhouse.

The emperor and the queen mother took the juice sent by the Ruiwang Mansion to the court and tasted it to the ministers, which immediately caused a sensation. These delicious juices are not only the mouths of the people of the capital, but also the mouths of the more important officials. There are so many flavors of cold drinks all at once, and the silver in the treasury is not stacked layer by layer? Not only the filial piety of officials from all over the country, but also the fruits of Fanbang's tribute to the emperor and the queen mother will be sent to the Ruiwang Mansion to be juiced, and sugar will be added to the sour taste. They don't want to test the poison anymore, as long as the cold drink sent by Fujin is newly released, they will use it. While eating, he kept praising it: "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”

At the same time, ice cubes from the Internal Affairs Office were also sent to the Ruiwang Mansion in an endless stream. The ice cubes frozen in the well water are all exquisitely clear and clean natural ice, and the white ice used for refrigeration is frozen with saltpeter. The Queen Mother is optimistic about the cold drink project, how can the cold drink of the Qing Dynasty be compared with the exotic one, this Yun'er is really a capable person, how does she remember it? Therefore, the Queen Mother's rewards to Yun'er continued to be sent to the Rui Wang's Mansion in a steady stream, with gold and silver, jewelry, jewelry, cloth, clothing, antiques, and playthings. The Queen Mother's idea is to coax this little daughter-in-law of Lord Rui, this is not a woman, it is a cash cow.

The Queen Mother repeatedly instructed the prince and Fujin that the recipe for cold drinks must not be leaked, even the Queen Mother and the emperor should not know. The queen mother knew that the emperor was a benevolent person, and she couldn't withstand the grinding of several of his imperial brothers and nephews, so she might agree to the formula that these people wanted, so she gave the prince a death order. The prince naturally understands the intention of the Queen Mother, and with the Queen Mother in the way, no one will have a way.

No matter how suspicious and suspicious the queen mother is of the prince, after all, the prince has made achievements and real things, which are in front of him, and no one can help but believe it. It is great to be able to take out such achievements and make money for the imperial court. If he entrusts someone else to do this business and hides behind the scenes, who can know? The Queen Mother was very polite and affectionate to Lord Rui and Tong Jia's splendid beauty, and responded to all requests. She has no blood relationship with the prince, but the emperor has ah, in the past, it was dominated by men, and the emperor and the prince were brothers of a father. The queen mother also has to take care of the emperor's face, can you say don't be too good to your brother? The emperor has no suspicion of the prince at all, and he wants to give up the throne to this royal brother at every turn, which always makes the queen mother's heart tremble. said that it was Lord Rui's master who didn't allow it, but who knows what Lord Rui himself thinks? The Queen Mother feels that there is such a virtuous and virtuous king by her son's side, and the throne is not stable! However, a good king is better than an evil king, right? In such a short period of time, Prince Rui has done a big thing that no one in the Qing Dynasty has done and made money steadily, and the Queen Mother must support it. People can't push people too hard, so the Queen Mother has never mentioned asking the prince for silver. In fact, the prince wants to make up an integer and give the emperor a silver ticket, and it is much better to give a silver ticket with a slightly larger denomination than to give ten taels today and twenty taels tomorrow. I heard the emperor say that Prince Rui built two glass greenhouses, one is to raise seedlings, the other is to plant flowers, and the greenhouse for raising seedlings will raise a stubble of seedlings in half a month, and then transplant them in the earth. If you can't use it, you can sell it at the market. Several kinds of vegetables and fruits that are not available in the Qing Dynasty have been planted. Ordinary days can also start to raise seedlings during the New Year, as soon as the day is warm, the seedlings can be transplanted to the outside of the earth, and the vegetables will mature one or two months earlier than the ordinary planting. There are also two eunuchs in the Ruiwang Mansion who are eyeliners for the Queen Mother, and in the secret report, the women of the Ruiwang Mansion are going crazy to do manual work, and all kinds of exquisite things are too likable, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law like these things, isn't this also an entry? The secret report also said that the newly appointed Tian manager tinkered with the purchased equipment every day, and there was a kind of instrument that could press the noodles, as long as the noodles were put in the instrument and cranked by hand, the uniform noodles would come out, much faster than hand-rolling. There is also honeycomb coal that can make the coal surface into an eye, and the flame is still very hard. Then there is the instrument that can squeeze the juice out of the fruit, which can crush and squeeze the fruit dry, and the dregs can also feed the chickens and pigs. Lord Rui is really a cash cow, it's best not to offend him, and wait for him to behave strangely. If nothing else, it is a hero of the Qing Dynasty. It stands to reason that you have to learn so many skills in a year, and you don't have time to do anything else, and it takes time to buy things, right? Let him contribute to the country first.

If the prince knew that the queen mother had such an opinion of him, he didn't know how to feel.

Next up is the question of the ice cream sticks. The prince brought back several truckloads of ice cream sticks, but to produce popsicles and ice cream in large quantities, a large number of ice cream sticks must be consumed. The exotic ice cream rods are all wood-processed, and they are very uniform wood chips processed by woodworking machinery, which are used at one time. The prince will have to run out of money when he buys as much as he wants. But where is this equipment in Daqing? What to do? Fu Jin put forward her opinion: with bamboo. Bamboo grows fast, even if it is pulled from the south, it is better than cutting trees, find a workshop to make chopsticks, according to the size of the ice cream rod is done?

Hey! is really worthy of being the eldest lady from a wealthy family in Liaodong, and her potential for doing business is still very powerful.
