Chapter 553: Prepare Materials
"Side princess, why didn't the prince come to dine with you tonight?" Ying Xia and Su Yu finished serving dinner, and seeing that Yan Mu did not come to accompany Su Yuanluo today, Ying Xia couldn't help but ask curiously.
After dinner, Su Yuanluo sat at the table in the room, he had to think about what desserts to make tomorrow!
After all, some ingredients in this era are still limited, and many things are not available, so there are certain limitations.
"The prince doesn't have to come to me every day to eat! Maybe he has something of his own to delay! ”
Su Yuanluo replied absentmindedly.
Although Yingxia and Su Yu felt a little strange, it was not uncommon for them to have such a situation, Su Yuanluo replied like this, and they just listened to it.
"By the way, which of the two of you can write?"
There are some things that may not be available in the palace, so Su Yuanluo has to find someone to help him write them down, so that he can take them outside the palace to see if he can buy them.
Ying Xia and Su Yu shook their heads together.
"Princess Fang, although the two of us can read, we can't write, and even if we write it, it's crooked, it's really ugly!"
Ying Xia lowered her head and said a little embarrassed.
Su Yu nodded with certainty, but then he remembered something and stepped forward excitedly.
"Side Princess, I remember! In the past, when Wen Yin was serving in the prince's study, he was in charge of pen and ink, maybe he could write! ”
"It's really fake! Quick, call Wen Yin in. Su Yuanluo couldn't wait to point to the door.
Su Yu trotted all the way, and after running out of the room, she stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Wen Yin! Wen Yin, the side princess is looking for you! ”
Wen Yin wiped her hands, and then hurriedly ran out of the room where the maid was resting.
"What's wrong! Is there something wrong with the princess looking for me? Wen Yin didn't know what was going on, but he seemed to be in a hurry when he heard Su Yu's voice, and thought it was something important.
Su Yu didn't have time to answer his words, just grabbed his hand and hurriedly ran into Su Yuanluo's room.
Wen Yin didn't even have time to salute when she entered the room, so Su Yuanluo dragged her over.
"Wen Yin, I heard them say that you used to be in the study to serve pen and ink! Do you know how to write? ”
Wen Yin didn't know why Su Yuanluo suddenly asked this question, and nodded stiffly.
"I have read some books since I was a child, I know Braille, and I can write a lot, so from the moment I entered the house, the prince arranged me in the study, and sometimes taught me to write a few words."
"Since Yan Mu taught you to write, presumably your handwriting shouldn't be too ugly! Well, I'm going to write something, and you can help me write it down. ”
"That's no problem! Side princess, just say it! ”
Yingxia had already helped him bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Su Yu helped Wen Yin research the ink beside him.
Wen Yin picked up a brush, dipped it in some ink, and then turned his head to look at Su Yuanluo waiting for him to speak.
"Don't say it! As soon as this brush was picked up, this fan immediately came out! ”
Su Yuanluo looked at the past like this, Wen Yin really looked like a literate young lady.
"Rice? What a meal! The side princess is hungry, does she want to eat? Su Yu was the closest to Su Yuanluo, so she naturally heard the words he whispered in his mouth.
Su Yuanluo forgot that these words were only available in his own era, and hurriedly shook his hand, "No, it's nothing, I'm not hungry!" ”
Su Yuanluo began to think about what he had to do tomorrow so that Yan Mu could agree to his store as soon as he sang!
"You guys here...... Uh, no! I mean, in our palace! Is there fresh milk? Su Yuanluo tentatively reported a name, they also have dairy products in this era, and they may not even have milk!
Ying Xia thought for a moment, and then replied, "There is milk in the princess's palace!" It's just that the supply is not very large! Generally, the milk of animals like this is only loved by people in the northern country! ”
There's only one thing, and that's what it means! Anyway, he doesn't want a lot, it's a big deal to open a store in the future, if you need to, just go through Yan Mubu!
"Then write down the milk! I want a little! Aside from that, tapioca starch, you should have it here! ”
Other high-grade raw materials are too difficult for people of their generation, but these are relatively ordinary, and there should still be common ones.
"What's tapioca starch?"
Hearing this name, several maids in the room looked at each other, sounding a little familiar, but also a little unfamiliar.
Just when Su Yuanluo thought that he was proposing this thing, it was too difficult for them, Su Yu spoke!
"Princess Fang, are you talking about tapioca flour?"
What is tapioca flour?
"Tapioca flour?"
Su Yu nodded, "That's right! It is the powder obtained by pulping cassava, drying it in the sun, and crushing it! ”
It turns out that this is what they call it here.
No matter what he calls it, as long as there is it, it is God's favor for him!
"Yes, yes, yes! It's tapioca flour! I want this too, do you have it in your kitchen? ”
"This kitchen is not very much, because tapioca flour is poisonous! So, only a little! ”
"Only a little? If it's poisonous, why prepare for this little bit? Su Yuanluo understands this very well.
Ying Xia is usually in charge of Su Yuanluo's meals, so he has more contact with the kitchen.
"Although tapioca flour is poisonous, the kitchen will still have less to prepare in case of emergency, so it's only a little bit."
"Write this down too!"
Wen Yin got Su Yuanluo's words, lowered her head and drew carefully, and wrote down the tapioca flour.
"If there's only a little bit of these things, then there's always flour, right?"
Su Yuanluo didn't believe that such a common thing as flour would only be prepared in the kitchen!
"The flour kitchen is there! And there's a lot of kitchen to eat! The side princess has several large bags if needed! If that's not enough, you can buy some more! ”
Several big bags!
"Enough, enough! That's enough. I wonder if there are any fresh fruits in our palace? ”
Yingxia and Su Yu glanced at each other, and Su Yu tilted her head and began to recall, "It's just some ordinary apples, oranges and bananas!" However, some time ago, I heard that the southern royal family paid tribute to a batch of fresh fruits, and it seems that the emperor has given us a lot of them! ”
This southern country is really too stingy, who pays tribute only pays tribute to fruits?
"What kind of fruit are they?" Although he thought so in his heart, Su Yuanluo still had to ask, in case there was something he needed!
"It's all something I've never heard of, a lychee, a dragon fruit, a mango, and a fruit that is covered with thorns and smells, and it smells like it's broken! I don't know what this southern country thinks, and it dares to pay tribute to the stinky fruit. ”
Su Yuanluo's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this! What Su Yu said must be durian!
"Okay, where are all these fruits? Tomorrow you talk to the prince, I want a few mangoes, one of those stinky fruits! Get me some more dragon fruit! ”
When several maids heard this, they hurriedly looked at Su Yuanluo in surprise, "Princess Fang, that fruit is really smelly!" Are you really sure you want that fruit? ”
"Actually, when you smell it, it tastes good! When the time comes, I'll make a few desserts, and I'll bring them over to you after Yan Mu tastes them! ”
Although these maids didn't believe what Su Yuanluo said, when they heard that there were desserts to eat, they couldn't help but want to try it.
Su Yuanluo secretly calculated in his heart that these fruits could let him make a few pancakes of different flavors tomorrow, and if the tools allowed, he could also make a few mille-feuille cakes.
As for tapioca starch, you can let him make some mochi, these are all snacks that came later, and Yan Mu must not have tasted them!
"Okay, that's all for now!"
Thinking of this, Su Yuanluo could even have a hunch that he would be able to successfully complete the task tomorrow, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"Side princess, what do you want so many things for?"
Yingxia, who has always talked a lot, couldn't help but ask curiously.
Su Yuanluo just smiled mysteriously, and said two words with his mouth, confidential!
"Okay, I've finished explaining everything I want to explain, so go down first! In the summer, you stay and wait for me to wash up. ”
Wen Yin and Su Yu cleaned up the table, bowed and withdrew.
Yingxia stayed in the room, Su Yuanluo walked to the bed, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Welcome to summer! Come here, I have something to ask you! ”
Su Yuanluo stopped, and Yingxia, who was about to pour water for him, patted the side of his bed and motioned for Yingxia to sit here.
"Side princess, if there is anything, just say hello! As long as Yingxia knows, he will tell you everything! ”
Su Yuanluo didn't know where to start, and after thinking for a long time, he had to pick the simplest question.
"What is the relationship between the emperor and our prince?"
"It's just an ordinary uncle-nephew relationship! It's just that speaking of which, our prince fought on the battlefield when he was young, and his majesty in the army is still quite deep! So at this point, the emperor has always been very jealous of our prince! ”
No wonder Yan Mu dared to speak so hard in front of Yan Su, it turned out that he had the capital to be tough.
"What kind of person is the emperor?"
Yingxia had never entered the palace, so naturally he hadn't seen Yan Su, so he could only shake his head.
"This slave doesn't know! But tomorrow there are rumors about the emperor, I heard that the emperor is handsome and extraordinary, although a face looks a little softer, but it has the air of the emperor! Moreover, the emperor has been in power for so many years, diligent and loving the people, and has issued many decrees, all for the sake of the people! I think he should be considered a good emperor. ”
Su Yuanluo didn't expect Yan Su to look unserious, and he actually had such a good reputation among the people.
