Chapter 198: Buying Charcoal

"These are the molds I want to make for the dim sum. Collect this site" Li Yao pointed to those iron plates, thought about it, and tried to say in a way that everyone could understand: "I want to make a baked dessert, which is also a kind of pastry, but it is very soft and difficult to form, so I need such a mold to bake." ”

Li Qiaohui nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, and then asked, "Do you know the ingredients and proportions needed for that dessert?" ”

"I know what material to use, but as for the proportion...... I only know a rough idea, and I still need to study how to make it delicious. Li Yao scratched her head a little embarrassed.

In her previous life, she had baked cakes a few times, although it was not a chicken cake, but the approximate proportion of ingredients should be able to be handled, but it was to be delicious, and it was still necessary to study and study how to match it best.

"Okay, then we'll come over tomorrow, you can make it for me, I might be able to help, and to make baked pastry, you need to use a charcoal fire." Li Qiaohui looked around the kitchen, but only saw a small pile of dry firewood, not any charcoal.

Li Yao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then remembered that if she used firewood to bake something, her cake would not be black and shady, so she quickly turned her head to look at Zhang Dachun and asked, "Do you know where charcoal is sold in the town?" ”

Zhang Dachun thought for a while and said: "There are places that sell charcoal, but the price of charcoal is very expensive, and when it is cheap, it costs two pennies a catty, and in winter, the price will increase several times." ”

If you dry firewood, you can buy a lot of catties for a penny.

Li Yao silently calculated in her heart, it takes at least ten catties and eight catties of charcoal to bake a cake, she can make 40 cakes with one iron plate, if she can use all ten iron plates in this furnace, she can make four hundred, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to spread twenty dollars to four hundred cakes.

"Buy! Take advantage of the time to buy more, Dachun, you will mainly do this during this time, and it is best to save all the charcoal to be used in winter. ”

Li Yao glanced at the kitchen, this kitchen is quite big, even if there is a stove and a big stove, there is still a lot of space, you can store a lot of things, it is not enough to put out a place to store charcoal in the living room at the back, while it is not cold now, you can just buy more charcoal to hoard, otherwise the cost of charcoal will increase in winter, not to mention, it may not be easy to buy.

After speaking, Li Yao wanted to 'take out' the silver from her arms, and suddenly remembered that when she changed this dress, Aunt Li helped change it, and she didn't 'bring' any silver at all, so she looked at Zhang Dachun and said, "You advance the money first, and when you buy it back, you will come to me for reimbursement." ”

She remembered that Zhang Dachun was stingy with his money, and there must be a lot of money left over from the money she paid in advance.

Zhang Dachun nodded, thinking that it was still early before dark, and he could transport a cart of charcoal back first, so he greeted Li Yao and ran out.

After taking Li Qiaohui to see the shop, Li Yao and the three of them went back to the village, and they ate from noon to afternoon in Dongfu this time, and the three of them only felt that their stomachs were still supporting at the moment, and they didn't have the heart to eat another dinner.

Li Yao's house, where Li Yao went first, changed the new clothes on her body, put on her own set of coarse cloth clothes, and then wrapped the single clothes that Li Qiaohui made for her and the gifts she received from the Dong Mansion in cloth, and put them in the bamboo basket she carried when she came in the morning, and then left Li Qiaohui's house.

Li Qiaohui knew that Li Yao had a way to hide things, and she was not worried that Li Yao's expensive gold jewelry would be snatched by the Niu family, and Li Yao didn't leave Li Qiaohui's house for a long time, so she put the things in the basket into the space.
