After the auction of the agent's own rights, Chen Jinwang was very busy, needing to manage the workshop and shop, and going to Baifu from time to time to report the latest situation to the owner, and the cooperation with the agent was finally finalized.

On this day, Gu Bei went to the workshop to take a look and instructed Chen Jinwang to hurry up the production of Tianxianglu, after all, the first batch of Tianxianglu was about to be delivered to the agent.

There are more than a dozen huge iron buckets standing in the yard, the weather is getting hotter, and the man next to him is naked, working in full swing.

Although their daily work is very simple, they obviously do not find it boring, and they are full of energy at all times.

It's no wonder that here, they don't do any tiring work, it's much easier than farm work. Not only that, they have meat to eat every day, they also provide shelter from the wind and rain to live in, and the wages given by the owner are also more than outside, which is much better than their previous days, which makes them grateful to Gu Bei, if there is no owner, there is no current life.

Gu Bei glanced at it from a distance and was relieved, everything was normal, and he told the head of the nursing home behind him, take security measures, and turned around and walked out of the workshop.

Along the way, Gu Bei was in front, and Xiao Ran and a few people followed closely behind, and he kept grinding over whether he had enough funds now to start producing spirits, but it was just such a small workshop, and he was afraid that he would not be able to meet the production requirements......

By then, there would have been a shortage of manpower...... It will also delay the production of Tianxiang dew.

Walking to the door, stepping into the mansion gate, passing by the garden pavilion, and seeing Mrs. Qin leading the maid to enjoy the shade, he hurriedly offered his courtesy: "The son-in-law has seen my mother-in-law." ”

"You just came back from outside? Come sit down and have a bowl of mulled wine. Mrs. Qin saw that her uncle was sweating profusely, obviously she had just come back from outside, and hurriedly asked the maid to bring a bowl.

Gu Bei walked all the way, his mouth was dry for a long time, and he hurriedly took a sip to moisten his throat, it is estimated that the weather is too hot, the wine is a little lukewarm, and he still feels his thirst after drinking a bowl, and wipes the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, "Mother-in-law, the weather is so hot, why don't you chill it." ”

"Alas, it's still Mayday, and it's not summer yet, and the imperial court hasn't begun to give ice to officials." Mrs. Qin wiped her forehead with a handkerchief and said with a wry smile.

"And what about our own ice cellar?"

"To tell you the truth, there was snow in winter in previous years, but it didn't snow last year, and there were still some ice cubes left in the ice cellar from previous years, and the old man and Luo Shi were most afraid of heat, so they ......"

I see, no wonder it has never been frozen, I didn't expect that the Guogong Mansion is also short of ice! But it's not surprising that ice cubes are consumables, and they can only be saved when it snows in winter. There is nowhere to buy it if you have money, and the Guogong Mansion is short of ice, not to mention other wealthy families, ordinary people run for three meals, and they can't afford the luxury of ice cubes.

Saltpeter ice? I don't know what saltpeter in this world is called. He only knew that saltpeter was a white crystal, and saltpeter could be used to make gunpowder, glass, pyrotechnics, fertilizer, etc. Saltpeter makes ice, he knows, but he doesn't know where to find saltpeter. Without saltpeter, he can only give up now, and there are still important matters to ask his mother-in-law for help.

Gu Bei approached Mrs. Qin's side, and said with a bitter face, "Mother-in-law, you have to help your son-in-law, Luo Shi is still jumping on her face." ”

"Xiaobei, it's not that your mother-in-law won't help you, you said that you are really, I know that you are strong-blooded, and it is uncomfortable to hold back, Luo Shi is pregnant again, but you can find Qing'er! Qing'er will be yours in the future anyway, you just ran to the land of fireworks, and you were caught and raped in bed by Luo Shi. ”

Gu Bei scratched his head, feeling very helpless, he didn't do anything.

"Mother-in-law, I was sleepy, so I slept in the boudoir, and before I could fall asleep, Luo Shi broke in directly, but I didn't do anything."

"You! I don't know how to wipe the lip prints at the corners of my mouth, and it's not a big deal to steal fish, but I don't know how to destroy the evidence if I don't steal it. ”

Mrs. Qin saw that the beating was almost over, so she asked Gu Bei to come over a little, and laughed quietly, "Xiaobei, don't say that your mother-in-law won't help you, what day tomorrow is, do you know?" ”

"Tomorrow?" Gu Bei lowered his head and thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, he flicked his sleeves, and thanked Mrs. Qin.

If it weren't for his mother-in-law's reminder, he really forgot, wouldn't tomorrow be his birthday? This is a great opportunity to be courteous. No wonder the old man also rushed back at this time.

Hearing that tomorrow is Bai Luoshi's birthday, Gu Bei naturally has to prepare for her life, in the past, Mrs. Qin prepared a family banquet for her every year, and he will accompany her every year in the future.

In order to create a surprise, Gu Beiguan grinded in the room, how to surprise the lady.

In the last life, every year on his birthday, no matter how busy his parents were, they would rush back to celebrate his birthday, and invite relatives and friends to hold a grand birthday party for him, cakes, and gifts were indispensable.

Wait a minute...... Cake? Gu Bei's eyes lit up, if he made a cake, a cake that was unique in the world, would it be considered a surprise?

Gu Bei recalled for a moment and wrote down the ingredients for making the cake one by one, the main ingredients of the cake include flour, sweetener (that is, sucrose), binder (can be replaced by egg white), shortening (replaced by concentrated fruit juice), liquid (milk), etc...... Putting down the pen, Gu Bei clapped his hands together,

"That's it!"

Gu Bei took the paper, found Xiao Ran, and asked people to collect the materials and send them to Gu Cheng's yard, since it was a surprise, of course it couldn't be kept secret, making it in his own room, it was easy for Qing'er to find out, as soon as Qing'er found out, the lady also knew, and if the lady knew, there would be no surprise at all.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ran sent the cake he made, and Xiao Ran's speed was still worth affirming. consciously prepared to make a move on the side, although he didn't know anything, but at this time, his uncle drove him away, and he was not happy. He looked at the above materials, and it was milk, flour, and eggs, all of which were related to eating, and it was estimated that my uncle was ready to invent a new food.

Before Gu Bei started, he saw Xiao Ran with a big pestle beside him, and sent him to find a hanging pot and some firewood. Hanging pot, as the name suggests, is a pot related to "hanging", cooking rice in the wild, using a hanging pot, the iron pot with iron stumbling on the hook, covered with flames.

What the? Asked what is the use of the hanging pot, of course it is to bake cakes, Gu Bei sent away Xiao Ran of 100,000 whys.

To start making it, first separate the egg whites from the yolks, add milk, put the egg yolks in and stir well, sift in the flour, and stir the egg batter until there are no particles.

Xiao Ran commanded people to put the hanging pot and firewood in the courtyard, and saw that his uncle was dripping watermelon juice into the egg whites, adding sucrose in turn, and then pouring the egg whites in three times, and letting Xiao Ran stir them up.

Xiao Ran was eager to try, and when he saw that his uncle arranged for him to do things, he quickly took it and began to stir. I thought to myself, since my uncle asked him to help, he would definitely have a share of the good things at that time.

Gu Beigang was about to pour the batter into the mold he made, and he casually looked at it, he was so angry! I saw Xiao Ran stirring in a circle.

"Fool, it's for you to stir, not for you to stir in circles, it's easy for you to defoam the egg whites by stirring like this."

“......”

What is my uncle talking about? Why don't you understand it, but for the sake of food, Xiao Ran doesn't ask much, which will lower his IQ, showing that he is very ignorant, and stirs it up according to his uncle's request.

Just after a few stirs, the sound of "popping" came, which startled Xiao Ran, thinking that he had done something wrong again, and looked at Gu Bei, only to see that his uncle poured the batter into the circle surrounded by the wooden board, and slapped the wooden board with both hands like convulsions.

"What do you see, I don't know how many times the batter is poured into the mold, do you need to pat it vigorously?"

was despised again, obviously it was a broken wooden board, and he actually said what kind of mold it was, ahhh

Gu Bei was slapping, Xiao Ran suddenly approached, blocking his vision, Gu Bei wanted to wave Xiao Ran away with his left hand...... Wavering, continue to exert force, still not moving, Gu Bei used all his strength to push him away, Xiao Ran thought that his uncle was playing a game with him, and secretly used a jack pendant, "Uncle, come on!" You're still too empty. ”
