Chapter 62: The Summons (Part II)
Fan Jingjing heard that in the garden of the palace, there are often strange flowers and plants brought by the general from other places, these strange flowers and plants come from various frontiers, representing the conquest of a local land.
Although she brought a lot of seeds, she still wanted to know which plants had been passed on and what they were used for.
I heard that cotton was introduced as early as Dahan, but it has not been planted on a large scale.
If it had been planted on a large scale earlier, cotton clothes that were easy to wear would have become popular.
Moreover, according to her observations, at this time, all kinds of leather clothes were already very popular, although not fashionable, but quite warm. A sheepskin coat is also one of the options.
However, it seems that wool has not been used further.
Sure enough, in the back garden of the palace, there are a lot of treasures, at least a few sauces to make, and the ingredients can already be gathered.
Fan Jingjing is now a person who cares about everything, and the eldest grandson is a member of the queen's family, and she has never thought that she has to pay for food, and she can only find her own way if she wants money.
Unfortunately, there are still no chili peppers found in these materials, but if you can find chili peppers and season them with chili peppers, they can be welcomed, even if you are not a spicy person, you can taste some lightly and increase the flavor of the sauce.
Of course, there are a few people with special constitutions.
"These grapes can be made into raisins, and the amount of wine is too small. With some eggs and some yeast, you can make a grape cake to sell, and if you can sell it on consignment at a high-end pastry shop, the price is much better than setting up a stall outside. I came to the imperial dining room and brought some eggs back. After all, the family sometimes has to supplement Li Li's nutrition, and if there is more, it should be regarded as a material fee!
I'm afraid that Niu Shijin is too honest and the weight is too well estimated. ”
Steak, Niu Shijin is in charge, and salad is Fan Jingjing's unique skill.
At home, she brought a stone mill to use as an oil press, and grabbed a mountain qiang to pull stones, although the mountain qiang is also on all fours and feet, but obviously not like cattle and donkeys can work.
But you don't have to push the stone grinder yourself, and the meat of the mountain qiang can be eaten.
Niu Shijin eats a large piece of meat at every meal.
She hung it on the house, preparing to dry and preserve the mountain qiang meat, and most of it went into Niu Shijin's stomach.
The rest of the meat was scattered by him and distributed to the people from the palace, as well as Niu Yingxiu's followers.
"This man is so good at being a man. I am not afraid of hunger. ”
However, the kitchen is in the hands of the other party, and Fan Jingjing is helpless.
When it was time to eat, Fan Jingjing saw Queen Eldest Sun, and as for Niu Shijin, it seemed that he really came to be a chef. As soon as the steak was ready, the broccoli next to it was put on the table and was taken away by the palace people.
When the eldest grandson queen was eating, she didn't invite Fan Jingjing to eat together, and even the two drooling princes and princesses could only stare dryly on the side.
After eating, Empress Changsun took a towel from the hand of the palace maid and wiped her mouth before saying:
"It's better than I expected. It's a pity that you can't buy beef in the private sector, otherwise you can open a steakhouse, and I can invest some money in you. ”
When Fan Jingjing heard the investment, her eyes lit up, and she said: "If we don't open a steakhouse, we can open a cake shop, as long as we teach Master Niu to bake cakes, we can naturally let him teach others."
And now the tea, add too many things that there are not, too unpalatable, if it is a simple tea, add some sugar, with a cake, it will be a perfect match. ”
Empress Eldest Sun's expression was a little stunned, she just said polite words casually, and she was not prepared to let Fan Jingjing be a businessman.
She shook her head and said, "I invited you to come here to discuss the matter of letting you be the teacher of Cheng Qian and Li Qian, but because you are too young, although Cheng Qian and Li Zhen said that you are knowledgeable, if I want to be filial piety." ”
"Being a teacher?" Fan Jingjing has a shadow of being a teacher, and she is okay as a tutor, but standing on the podium as a teacher, she trembles in the face of the bear child who doesn't want to listen to the class.
"I'm not a teacher...... It's terrible to be a teacher. ”
"In Datang, do you have the right to refuse?" Empress Eldest Sun felt that Fan Jingjing was too unruly to play her cards.
