Chapter 488: Preparing to take over

It is because in the ripe fruit and hot season, the new ice cream, juice, pastries, bread, etc. that Yun'er tried to make came out one after another, and they were rendered by the emperor and the queen mother.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Gradually, Fu Jin discovered the queen mother's unfair mentality, and said to Fu Jin very clearly: "How can this Rui Wang Ye be able to discern pearls? Got two women from a thousand and one in a thousand into his hands? Xiu'er, you are the one appointed by Emperor Taizong, that's all, that Yun'er is a civilian woman, how did Prince Rui find her? It's a pity that she is not a Manchurian woman, otherwise even if she is the daughter of a six-rank official, she will be seen by the emperor if she is selected to enter the palace as a palace maid. With her appearance and talent, how can she be more favored by the emperor than Concubine E. Can the emperor not like a woman who can help the emperor make money? Only then did Fu Jin realize how unwise it was for him to praise Yun'er in front of the Queen Mother, and he would never boast again after that.

The emperor once again sent his personal eunuch Wu Liangfu to the palace of King Rui to invite Prince Rui, saying that there were many things to discuss with him. The prince hurriedly changed into the prince's auspicious clothes and came to the palace to see the emperor. The emperor said apologetically:

"Brother Huang, do you know? I was almost eaten by Prince Jane and his half-brothers. None of the processing equipment you gave me dared to ask for it, and when I heard that I asked them for money, they shrank back. But Prince Jane gave me a silver ticket of 5,000 taels and wanted to make beer. ”

"Hahahaha...... "The prince laughed: "This Jidu is so interesting, he must have tasted the can of beer in the gift to him." There is no equipment for beer on the list of equipment you have given you. It's not a handicraft workshop to make beer in a foreign land, it's a large enterprise, the beer is coming down the production line, a set of beer equipment is how many billion yuan of funds, and you have to use electricity and have high-tech talents, beer is to nourish the stomach, but it's really not good to brew. Normally, it smells like horse urine, and if you don't do it well, you may not know what it tastes like. And we need a lot of food, and we don't even have enough to eat. The main ingredient of beer is barley malt, which is fermented with hops and water. It contains low alcohol with carbon dioxide. The process requirements are complex, and it is not as simple as making wine. Our food in Daqing is not very sufficient, and besides, the minister does not have the equipment to make beer. Even if there is one, it is not easy to master, and it is either sour or smelly to make it. ”

The emperor laughed and said to the prince: "Our Daqing liquor is under the jurisdiction of Guanglu Temple, but it is brewed with Jingxi Yuquan water in spring and autumn." It seems to be made of glutinous rice, beans, peppercorns, sesame seeds, etc., and the quantity is limited. Later, when our food is sufficient, we will make liquor. Prince Jane is the loudest in business, you look at finding him a suitable project, this guy is too arrogant, he must find him a difficult errand, so that he also knows what it's like to go to Wheat City. This Prince Kang chose fried goods, saying that he likes to eat melon seeds, Prince Zhuang took a straw crusher, and several other royal brothers also chose other projects. They said they would get a silver ticket when they returned home. Looks like you can be a little lighter? ”

Naturally, the minister thanked the emperor for sharing the burden with the minister. It's just that the equipment that Chen bought back has only tried three or five simple things, and the others are not too clear. To teach them to use it, it has to be Tian Liang. The project for Prince An and Prince Xian seems to be very simple, making bricks is OK, and firing kiln is the key. The chief manager of Chen and Tian has never tried it, and he doesn't understand the heat of the kiln at all, and red bricks and green bricks are two different things. Besides, it is to produce qualified products, and whether we people in the Qing Dynasty recognize it or not is two different things. That one is even harder to make wine, we only have a simple recipe on our hands, and we haven't done it at all. "The prince really regrets handing over the project, not reluctantly, but there may be a lot of trouble in the later stage. If you don't understand this and can't understand that, Tian Liang has to work hard to pass these things.

"I am so happy to think that my brother and nephew are so enthusiastic about getting involved in business. But don't worry, take your time to get acquainted, and you'll understand after a few more attempts? Let Tian Liang give guidance, anyway, it's not any prince who personally goes into battle to process anything, it's all their subordinates who do it. All the royal brothers participated, and they also made a good impression on those civil and military ministers. It's still our royal family together. I plan to go to the imperial brother's mansion with the emperor in half a month. The emperor has always wanted to see your greenhouse and ice cellar, but she has been stumped by other things. I want to bring all the princes, princes, and ministers to give you a justifiable way to do business. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's support, the minister will definitely take over the matter well."

"By the way, during this year's Shangyuan Festival, a restaurant on Qianmen Street caught fire due to firecrackers, and both floors were burned, leaving only a pile of ruins. I thought, can you build a business called 'Queen Mother's Restaurant' on that ruin? In the name of Huang Eniang to run this restaurant. How about I give you 10,000 taels of silver to build a building? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"Let Sister Jinxiu try to make a little more dishes before opening, the capital has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are so many officials, who doesn't want to taste delicious food?"

"I remember."

"Don't worry about anything, just let go and do things!"

"Obey orders!"

The prince thought of the position of chief steward, and took this opportunity to ask the emperor. The head of the palace should be an official sent by the imperial court, although it can be a trusted cronie or relative of the prince, and it must also be formally appointed by the imperial court. The emperor asked for the prince's opinion, and the prince said that he wanted to appoint Tian Liang, but Tian Liang's official qualities were not enough. The emperor immediately agreed, saying: "Official character is not an obstacle, he has talent, but if he is not promoted now, he will have to mention it in the future." Brother Huang is now doing great things, not only to have a capable steward (usually called the chief steward), but I also want to appoint you a royal governor to help you complete the great business affairs. Although Changshi is a military official, he does the errand of a civilian official, and I will let your father-in-law, Mr. Chen Jing, inherit the position of General Chen Fang, the former pioneer of the Blue Banner, which is justified in your father-in-law. Both of these people are good people, and you can trust them. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. The minister still has something to tell the emperor. ”

The prince took this opportunity to tell the emperor about the father-in-law and Tian Liang's father-in-law, and the emperor was very happy:

"Wouldn't that be better? Wouldn't it be better for you to join forces in this way? ”

The emperor also told the prince that he would officially announce the appointment of Chen Jing and Tian Liang after leading the minister of civil and military affairs to inspect the ice cellars, greenhouses, and cold drink facilities of the Rui Palace. The purpose is to give a proper testimony to the formal business in the future.

The prince said that he wanted Mangge, Battle, and Nalan to be the deputy chiefs, so that they could help Tian Liang in the future. They used to be at the same level, and they were too much of a difference and their hearts were unbalanced. Besides, these young people are also of excellent character and ability. He also asked the emperor to appoint a superintendent of the imperial history to supervise business matters, preferably Ma Ping, or he would come to the palace to help, and his name would not be right.

"Okay, okay, that's it. In half a month, you can tell me anything else at any time. ”

"Why are you so supportive? Do you think Chan will definitely make money? ”

"Nothing else, just the projects you gave to the princes and grandfathers of the country are enough to prove that you are sincerely worried about me. Whether you make money or not is a trivial matter, and it is rare to find your sincerity. Just like Concubine Tong's grandfather, when he couldn't predict whether Taizu could succeed, he handed over most of the family property to Taizu as military capital, what kind of loyal and good general is this? Aren't you too? I don't know if I can make money to buy these devices. Although each piece is not tens of thousands of taels of silver, it adds up to a lot. I don't know anyone else who can be so kind to me. There were tears in the emperor's eyes.

"Your Majesty, isn't this what an elder brother should do?"

"I don't even know what to say when you say that. The princes of all dynasties have wanted to grab the dragon chair in their hands or how to dig silver, territory, and power from the hands of the emperor. But you have given up all the existing thrones, and you have helped me so selflessly, no matter what happens in the future, I will ensure that your future princely title will be passed on for generations to come. ”

Next, the two brothers discussed some specific matters.

When the prince returned home, he held a meeting of the pillars to discuss the matter of taking over. The emperor came to the minister's mansion, how much honor was that? privately told Tian Liang about the burden he had to bear, because he was afraid that he would not be mentally prepared when the holy decree came down, and if he resigned, it would be a great crime to resist the decree. In the face of the extreme trust of the prince, how could Tian Liang refuse? Isn't it true that going to a foreign land to learn those management is to carry the heavy responsibility today?

During this period, Yun'er tried to make several kinds of exotic processed roses and jasmine foods, such as using roses and jasmine to smoke tea leaves, making rose dew, rose paste, rose paste, and jasmine tea. I also got familiar with food carving again.

The history of food carving is very long, it has been in the Han Dynasty, the earliest carving on eggs, slowly evolved into carving on cheese and fat, and the Song Dynasty began to carve flowers, birds, insects and fish with candied fruits. In the Qianlong and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty, there were watermelon carving watermelon lanterns, winter melon cups, etc., which had the effect of jade carving, and in the Shunzhi era, there did not seem to be flowers and animals carved with radish. Even if there is, it is unlikely that there will be more than 200 years of food carving. So Yun'er used the dense materials she learned from plant roots, stems, and tubers to carve. In the exotic Yun'er, I also bought a full set of food carving tools such as single-edged milling cutters, taper milling cutters, single-edged double-edged chamfering cutters, and half-edged cutters.

All kinds of flower tea and food carvings will give a new impression to the emperor, the queen mother and the minister of civil and military affairs, and can also be used in future business projects.

Yun'er taught the art of food carving to all the chefs in the house. It's mainly the basic method, and how to play it is your own business. In half a month, Yun'er has to prepare a food carving work for each table at the banquet, and the time is very tight, but she has two smart and clever helpers, and it is not difficult.

Tian Liang is gradually improving the things that fall under Tian Liang's jurisdiction, he first reorganized his own soldiers and guards, and made it clear which team, when to perform what tasks, and how to hand over, leaving no opportunity for people to take advantage of loopholes. Every corner of the house must be patrolled, and those corners and corners, places in the alleys, rockeries, fish ponds, and places with deep forests and dense trees are all places that are prone to accidents. Originally, I thought that there were too many pro-soldiers, but now it is not enough.

The empty house above the house should also have special soldiers and guards to be responsible for regularly checking whether there are unsafe hidden dangers and flammable materials around. These empty houses were filled with cloth, thread, and paper, all of which were afraid of fire.

The second is the system of rewards and punishments, and the good ones are not rewarded and the bad ones are not punished, and it is the easiest to distract people's hearts. Tian Liang proposed that the prince should take out a part of the exotic daily necessities as a reward, and the good performance must be commended, the things do not have to be valuable, it is an honor for the award-winning person and his own face, young people attach the most importance to their own image, and they are always tired and have no upward spirit.

There are more than 20 guards in the house, all of them are people with strong martial arts, but they all have the idea of relying on the prince, and it is also Nafeng who is negligent in discipline, and one by one they are becoming more and more lax. The guards also performed their own duties and responsibilities. These guards served as secret guards, and they appeared unnoticed, or they were on duty together in the clothes of their own soldiers, servants, and eunuchs, or they hid in trees and observed in the dark in night clothes. If there is a suspicious person, arrest immediately. This is not only related to the safety of the hostesses of the two hospitals, but also to the food safety made in the house. If someone wants to do something with food, they can take advantage of the gap where no one manages to poison it, so if something goes wrong, the prince can't tell clearly.

When the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs came to the palace, they must have entertained a banquet. Both the prince and Fujin wanted to bring exotic dishes to the table of the Qing Dynasty. I am going to try to make at least 20 decent exotic dishes in these ten days, so as to lay a foundation for future restaurants and restaurants.

Naturally, the cooking thing is Fujin Zhang Luo, and Mrs. Chen also has to make a few distinctive exotic snacks. Yun'er is also racking her brains to design the pattern of food carving. Food carving is mostly based on flowers and birds, auspicious animals, Yun'er is learning to paint flowers and birds, in the foreign land has been familiar with the knife of food carving and commonly used flowers, animal shapes, but also found out a variety of vegetables in the carving habits. After many trials, I am already confident. On the morning of the feast, all the ornamental dishes carved out were carved, or they wilted and rotted too early.
