Chapter 182: A Hot Reward
However, skin care products can be sold as a flagship product, as long as the name is out, and there is no fear of not making money in the future, time-honored brands are more sought after by those who have money and power.
The mask made of pure plants with traditional Chinese medicine powder is easier to preserve, and the materials are available all year round, which is also a special product that Song Yao wants to focus on.
"The slave and maid made some, not much." Red Sleeves nodded and said, "The slave tried it last night, and the effect is good, Madame wants to try it?" ”
Song Yao took a closer look at the red-sleeved face, in this era when there are no skin care products, you can see a little effect after using a mask.
However, a mask without additives will not have too obvious effects.
"Has anyone else tried?" Song Yao asked.
"According to Madame's instructions, the slave maid gave a few little girls in the yard, and a few mothers-in-law also tried it, and did not find any problems for the time being." Redsleeves replied.
"You go and divide the rest of the mask into how many points according to the number of people who come to visit today, and the packaging should be more exquisite, so let's say that it is a gift from me to a few ladies." After Song Yao finished speaking, he told again: "Remember to write a manual, indicating how to use it and the contraindications." ”
"Yes." Red Sleeves didn't ask why, and went to do the errand.
"Madame, is this the idea of beating these ladies?" But the man came into the house with tea and asked with a smile.
"Although the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, it is necessary for someone to say that it is good." Song Yao took a sip of the teacup and said, "Since it is to open the door to do business, it is a good omen to get off to a good start." ”
"Slaves and maids are afraid that some people will hold their own identities and refuse to cheer for their wives." But people are a little worried.
Although these little boys play well with their own little masters, it doesn't mean that the people in their families are also good friends.
After all, the people who came were all friends of Cui Jincheng, and many people were inferior to Cui Jincheng, and they would come over to sell the face of the Cui family.
"Think of it as a temptation to see who you can make friends with." Song Yao said indifferently: "But the purpose of our business is to make money, and it is best to make money in harmony." At this time, I will definitely express my sincerity in the discount. As for those who want to come to the knotting in the future, it is good to treat it with a normal heart. ”
Song Yao's words, but people agreed.
The time at home is always extraordinarily leisurely.
Three days later, no matter whether Song Yao wanted to or not, she still set foot on the road to the palace.
The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and Song Yao, as a representative of the folk chef hand-picked by the queen, wants to make a few specialty dishes to give the queen a long face.
And the Buddha jumping over the wall is a dish that the queen must prepare.
"I also have to bother Miss Pingxue to tell the queen that the woman can't do this Buddha jumping over the wall alone." Song Yao looked embarrassed and said to Ping Xuedao.
"There are so many people in this small kitchen, you can let people do it." Ping Xue thought that it was because Song Yao ordered someone to escort her alive, so her attitude was much better than before, and when she saw Song Yao embarrassed, she asked, "But those people don't listen to you?" ”
Although Song Yao noticed that Ping Xue's attitude towards her had changed, and she also understood the reason for Ping Xue's change, she was happy to have such progress, at least it was beneficial to her.
In the harem, no matter how unfavored the queen is, she is also the lord of the six palaces, and Ping Xue is the one who can speak in front of the queen.
"It's not." Song Yao shook her head and said, "The people in the small kitchen are all arranged by Miss Pingxue, so naturally they will not disobey the yin and yang." But this Buddha jumping over the wall is very troublesome to do, and when the folk woman participates in the kitchen god competition, it is more than a dozen people who cooperate to make this dish in two hours. And this dish must be prepared within two hours. ”
Ping Xue was able to climb to the current position, naturally he was a personal essence, and he immediately understood what Song Yao meant.
"You want to bring someone into the palace?" Although Ping Xue is a question, her eyes are full of determination.
"Yes." Song Yao smiled helplessly and explained: "The last time the woman met the queen, she wanted to mention this matter. But the queen mother had a decree to explain, and the women forgot about it for a while. ”
"It's not in accordance with the rules, I'm afraid that the mother won't agree." Ping Xue frowned slightly.
Song Yao also understood what Ping Xue meant, let so many people enter the palace, even if Song Yao was willing to take risks, the queen couldn't believe it.
In case someone makes a move in the dish, it will be the queen who will be unlucky at that time, after all, she is the biggest person in charge of the birthday banquet.
"Miss Pingxue will help the women bring a word, whether the queen agrees or not, the women should be mentally prepared." Song Yao frowned and said: "The palace banquet needs to prepare more than a Buddha jumping over the wall, even if the queen mother allows the women to bring people into the palace, the women have no time to prepare other dishes." ”
"The dishes prepared by the women before can be taught to the imperial chef in advance. If the queen can't answer the request of the people's women, the women can handle the previous dishes wholeheartedly, but this Buddha jumping over the wall will never be done. ”
Song Yao said this part, even if Ping Xue didn't want to pass the word.
The queen has already prepared a menu, including Buddha jumping over the wall, and there are also several dishes that Song Yao has tried before.
But Ping Xue wouldn't know that Song Yao just wanted to bring her own people into the palace, so she said that the painting would take twenty days to complete.
At this time, it is impossible for the queen to change temporarily, even if she is unhappy, she can only nod her head and agree.
Of course, for the sake of the face of that painting, the queen will not embarrass Song Yao, at most she will reward less.
But there is no need for his own people, Song Yao is really afraid that he will not be able to walk out of the palace, who knows if someone will be plotting something behind his back.
Sure enough, when Ping Xue came again, she had already brought the queen's will and allowed Song Yao to write down the list, and she would arrange for someone to go to the Song Mansion to pick people up.
However, these people are not allowed to bring any materials into the palace, this is also the rule, Song Yao naturally will not get an inch in the future, so as not to be unreasonable when something happens in the future.
As for the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall, will it lose its taste because of the lack of so many ingredients and seasonings, which Song Yao doesn't care about.
After all, the people who have eaten the Buddha jumping over the wall are not in the capital, let alone in the palace, who knows what the taste of the Buddha jumping over the wall should be?
Even if someone eats Buddha jumping over the wall again in the future and finds that the taste is different, Song Yao can also explain that it is an improved version.
At noon, Red Sleeves and the others entered the palace.
But Qinghai and the others are men after all, so they temporarily live in the same courtyard with other folk chefs who participated in this birthday banquet, but they are arranged in a corner, who makes them subordinates.
Although the queen had heard of the name of the Buddha jumping over the wall, she was still not at ease, so she asked Song Yao to make one first, and the queen had to taste it before she could finally determine whether the dish was eligible to be placed at the birthday banquet.
Song Yao had no doubts about this.
Sea cucumbers and the like, Song Yao had already written it when she left the palace last time, and she had soaked early.
The most important thing in the palace is all kinds of ingredients, which are also sent to the small kitchen where Song Yao is.
"Two girls, please check these materials first." Song Yao said to the sunset.
Before Song Yao and his party entered the small kitchen, they had already searched their bodies, and they had also changed into special clothes in the designated room, which was very much like a kitchen team at this time.
And inspecting ingredients is also a rule, Song Yao doesn't want to get into trouble for herself.
Sunset and the others are also business-related to this, and if something really happens, they can't escape responsibility.
It was not the first time that Song Yao and the others had jumped over the wall as a Buddha, so there was no need for verbal communication, and they began to be busy doing their own thing, and everyone took their work very seriously.
Even if someone tries to steal the teacher, they can't remember it completely in one or two days.
Song Yao has never been the master of losses, so the weight of being a Buddha jumping over the wall this time is also extremely heavy, except for the queen's share, that is, the queen mother, the emperor, and the favored concubines of the harem all want to have a share, and that is enough to share.
Of course, Song Yao and the others also have to eat a meal, otherwise wouldn't they have worked for more than two hours in vain?
After Song Yao and the others finished dinner, Qinghai and the other men went to the courtyard next door to rest, and Ping Xue came to report the good news to Song Yao.
"This is the queen's reward, Song Niangzi has been preparing well these days, and if there is anything missing, let people go to Kunning Palace to find me." While handing a brocade box to Song Yao, Ping Xue lowered her voice and said, "For the previous painting, the queen asked Aunt Shen to prepare a heavy reward, and I only gave it to Song Niangzi after the birthday banquet." ”
"I'm bothering the girl again, these are what women should do." Song Yao blessed herself in the direction of Kunning Palace, "The people's woman thanks the queen mother's reward, the queen's mother is a thousand years old." ”
After Song Yao got up, he handed the brocade box to the red sleeves on the side, and gave a look to the lovely person.
Keren immediately stepped forward and stuffed a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to Ping Xue.
Although there are no words, everyone understands what it means, and Ping Xue is also at ease.
"I still have to rush back to serve the queen, so I won't disturb Mrs. Song." Ping Xue smiled, and before leaving, she advised: "Song Niangzi, don't be in a hurry to rest, there will be other rewards from the palace in a while." ”
"Yes, the women have written it down." Song Yao responded, but rolled her eyes in her heart.
A Buddha jumps over the wall, how much can these palace concubines be rewarded?
It's the box that the queen just gave, it doesn't seem to weigh much, but it should be worth a few silvers.
After Ping Xue left the small courtyard, she opened the silver ticket and took a look, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Even though he knew that Song Yao had silver, he was too generous to make this move, and he actually gave a thousand taels of silver.
After being stunned for a while, Ping Xue understood Song Yao's kindness, this was seeking care, and naturally asked her to say a few good words on the queen's side, so as not to make someone's hands too long.
"This Song lady is a transparent person, so why not help you." Ping Xue put away the silver ticket and left with a smile.
Just a few words, it is easy to earn this thousand taels, and there is more protection for leaving the palace in the future.
Song Yao did have the intention of letting Ping Xue say a few words in front of the queen, and she also believed that Ping Xue was a person with vision, so she didn't let anyone say anything.
There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and saying more words may have the opposite effect.
As Ping Xue said, in less than an hour, Song Yao received more than a dozen rewards.
In other words, anyone who has used the Buddha to jump over the wall will give Song Yao a reward, but the gap between the rewards is huge.
"No wonder so many people want to enter the palace to be the imperial chef!" Ke Xin looked at the rewards one by one, and couldn't help but say: "This is a good meal, you can have so many rewards, but it is comparable to a few years of Yulu." ”
"But there are not a few people who are beheaded every year." Red Sleeves said calmly.
Kexin pursed her lips and threw a jade bracelet back into the box, losing interest in the reward.
This is the Imperial Palace, and although the things you give are good, you have to carefully consider the meaning behind them.
"Madam, why does the slave think that the queen mother is holding you so much, it seems that there is a purpose?" But the man didn't talk much all night, and now he frowned and said.
