Chapter Seventy-Nine: Bread

It is easy to see the economy of ancient times by calculating the value of property in the Oriental land from ancient times to the present.

The price of the house in the capital is very high, and Mr. Su just doesn't have much fame, so he only charges such a small amount of money.

If it is changed to what I said before, Mr. Chen will teach more students if he says less than five taels of silver a month, and even if there are other expenses, he can save no less than fifty taels a month.

And some ordinary houses, if they are not very large, can be bought for five or six hundred taels of silver.

Therefore, teaching is already considered a high salary, and some ordinary people who have not read are barely able to make ends meet, and most of them live outside the city.

After temporarily handing over a month's Shu Xiu, Gu Shendui rushed home with the little bun before dark.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled some vegetables, and Shu Shi heard the movement and came out, wearing an apron with some vegetable juice on it.

"Mother can also cook?" Gu Shenwan was a little surprised, she had never seen Shu Shi cook by herself before, and she naturally thought that she wouldn't do it.

"Which daughter's family doesn't need to learn to cook, the gentleman cooks far away, although the kitchen has a lot of oil stains, as a daughter's family, it is also necessary to practice from time to time."

Although Gu Shenwan can also cook, it is completely for his own life, he can eat hot meals from time to time, and he also saves him from spending a lot of unjust money on buying food outside.

Eating at home is clean and hygienic and saves money, which has never been done, because excellent men in this world don't cook, so every woman needs to learn to cook.

Such an idea is almost sexist, men and women are inherently equal, and no one should do anything more than biological differences.

"Don't be tired, your body hasn't been raised yet, but I've only seen some effects recently, and I still need to warm it up."

Gu Shenwan goes home every day, and pays attention to the food and drink at least two meals a day, and Shu Shi looks much better now.

Considering that it is a medicine with three points of poison, especially traditional Chinese medicine, you must not drink too much, whether the effect is to replenish the body or to treat diseases, you can try not to drink it if you can.

She made her own food supplements, and if she wanted to eat, she only occasionally took a little medicine to stabilize her already mild condition, and the two-pronged approach quickly paid off.

Shu Shi pursed his lips tightly, and flew an eye knife diagonally, "How can I be so weak, I can do many things by myself." ”

"I know you have a lot of things to do, don't you have to do all the laundry, cleaning and cooking work for me?"

Gu Shenwan grimaced, she knew that it was no problem for Shu's body to do some simple work, and she could increase the amount of exercise.

But she hadn't really thought much about busyness.

"It's a bit of a problem, I still have to look for evidence, and I probably won't have a chance to stay and help in the past two days."

After thinking about it, I couldn't think of anyone to solve this problem.

In the end, I can only reflect on myself and see if I can spare some time to do all the ordinary work at home, after all, finding evidence is not just time-consuming.

Shu Shi continued to finish a few light and delicious side dishes in the back kitchen, and Gu Shendui stood at the door of the back kitchen with his younger brother in his arms.

"You, if you're really worried, just wait until you have the money to buy ten or eight servants back, then you can be more comfortable than staying in the Gu family."

Because of the difference in the times, Gu Shenwan never thought about such a thing as buying and selling human beings, let alone that the manpower problem could be solved in such a way.

But if you think about it, this is the best way to solve the problem with just a little money, and by the way, improve the quality of life.

It is convenient and simple, and the servant in the hand is like a commodity, and it is not allowed to escape.

But psychologically, she really can't get past her own level.

I vaguely fooled the past, but in fact, I was entangled in my heart.

"Lan Yu'er is right, I can't fit in with the surroundings, I thought I was familiar enough, but now it seems that most of the things are unacceptable to me."

If you can't stick to it, how can you survive for so many years?

Not to mention what it would be like to be seen by others, she gave up all kinds of conveniences in life by herself, which was extremely cowardly behavior.

But for a while, she really couldn't accept it.

I was not in a hurry to sleep after eating, and now I have a lot of money on hand, and I can even light a few oil lamps luxuriously to keep the light around.

"It's still early, in fact, you don't need to go to bed so early, mother, if you want to do something, you might as well sell bread."

What Gu Shenwan said was not the kind that needed to be beaten with egg whites, but the kind of soft bread that was serious.

Although an oven was needed, he had an idea that would probably be able to replace it temporarily.

As for the mold, the shape and size will only affect the desired heat and temperature, and it is not entirely necessary.

Shu Shi didn't know what bread was, and after being explained, he could only imagine that it was probably similar to steamed buns.

But it's sweeter and softer.

It's not difficult to make noodles, but it's a bit of a problem.

There was no yeast in ancient times, and Gu Shenwan was a little worried about this, but it was always good to give up halfway in Haikou that he put down.

According to the common principle, ordinary dough will ferment on its own as long as the temperature and humidity are right, even if you don't put much in it.

It's just that the effect will be much worse.

"Fungus ......" Gu Shendu's worry was quickly solved.

Thankfully, although it was ancient, something similar to yeast had appeared, although it looked a bit like batter.

But no matter how you say it, it can be used for fermentation, and the effect is not bad, and it is used the same.

The next morning, I could already see that the dough in the pot had become very large, but Gu Shenwan just took it out and continued to knead it and continue to ferment.

It is still placed under the right temperature and environment, and I hope that this external condition can make it ferment better.

"I'll go out first, and the dough will be left alone, just put it here."

Without the right tools, she was ready to bake.

It's not an oven or anything like that, but a violent barbecue, and the dough is put into one bowl after another, and when it's fermented, the whole bowl will be full.

When the time comes, add water below to start the fire, and put a few pieces of charcoal on top of an iron plate, and the temperature is stuffy.

In fact, you can choose to build a simple stove and put charcoal fire and bread in it to achieve the same effect as an oven.

But for the time being, there is not enough time, and Gu Shendui has to hurry up to investigate the evidence.

Although she didn't plan to go back again when she came out this time, she couldn't bear the stigma.

Gu Shendui used the excuse of forgetting to take a thing to sneak into the Gu family again, avoiding most of the people and quietly approaching Pinglan's courtyard.

"Don't even think about finding any evidence for that little girl!"

"Look at what you say, what evidence is there, aren't all what we say true?"

Gu Shenwan gritted his teeth when he heard this, and he also recognized that one of the voices was Pinglan's.
