Chapter 32: The Enemy of Enemies Is Friends
Jiang family, when Jiang Cheng proposed to save Zhou Fu'an, Jiang Wu showed an extremely shocked look, he couldn't figure out why Jiang Cheng would make this impossible request.
"Second brother, I want to know why you want to save Zhou Fu'an, I asked you to squeeze out his martial arts secrets, not for you to go to apprenticeship, there is no grudge between you"
Jiang Wu said to Jiang Cheng, he subconsciously refused, Zhou Fu'an was a felony in the imperial court, Li Changqing personally caught him, and trying to rescue people from the edict is tantamount to a pipe dream.
"Because it is profitable to save him"
"What's the benefit, he's just a waste now, it's been half a month, and no one has come to save him"
"Waste people are not waste people, it depends on how to use them, there is a saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, dare to ask the eldest brother, do you have an enemy?"
"Naturally, there is"
Jiang Wu nodded, he silently recited in his heart, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and he felt that this was very reasonable, and he had to write it down.
"That's right, big brother, think about it, if you hold the card of Zhou Fu'an, what means will you use to deal with the enemy in the future, the last time you framed Wu Huailiang's means were too rude, if it weren't for his lack of backing, would you be able to move him, but Zhou Fu'an is different, he is a remnant of the previous dynasty, an immortal rebel party, and a rebel scale of the imperial court, and when the time comes, use him to bring down the enemy, then it is not a frame-up, but a mountain of ironclad evidence, can the court tolerate the other party?"
"There is some truth, but it is not enough, you also know that the immortal rebel party is the rebel scale of the imperial court, if this matter is discovered, it is us who will die, the risk is too great"
Jiang Wu nodded, he recognized this concept, if he used Zhou Fu'an to bite his political enemies, it would be a big killer, but the risk was still too great, and he couldn't convince the people behind it.
"The risk is big, the benefit is also big, and there are people behind Zhou Fu'an"
"Is there really a remnant of the previous dynasty?"
"Yes"
"Where, tell me"
"Impossible"
"Jiang Cheng"
"I want to control this power personally, and I won't hand it over to anyone, big brother, you should also keep some heart, others can help you up, and they can also pull you down, if you want others not to give up on you, you have to prove that you are useful, you have the strength in your hands, and this power must remain in our hands"
Jiang Cheng said coldly, in order to persuade Jiang Wu to save people, he also tried his best, he didn't think about moving people with emotion at the beginning, it was all from the perspective of interests, only in this way can he say that Jiang Wu and the people behind him can be moved.
Otherwise, if you say a word of incense love, who cares about you, who are you, what does your incense love have to do with me.
"Second brother, you..."
"Hasn't Big Brother thought about this?"
"I..."
"I didn't think about it, think about it now, whether it is the immortal rebel party or the remnants of the previous dynasty, it is a big banner, use it well, it is extremely sharp, it can be called a big killer, no matter who it is"
"Even if we agree, but how to save it, the edict prison is heavily guarded, and it is not something that can be saved if you want to"
Jiang Wu's heart moved, Zhou Fu'an is a double-edged sword, which can hurt the enemy or himself, but in the hands of their brothers, it is their life-saving card, if one day, they are also abandoned, they can take it out to save themselves.
Ambitious people generally have no sense of security, because most of them will think about things from interests, and they are afraid that others will consider things from interests, and they can abandon their own people for the sake of interests, so they believe more in the power in their hands and feel that power is reliable.
"To save people is not just a way to rob prisons, such as impersonation or fraudulent death, there are many means, you and I can't help it, it doesn't mean that the people above can't do it"
"I know, I'm trying my best to convince them, wait for my news"
Jiang Wu nodded, he could only say give it a try now, if there was no way, then there was nothing he could do.
·······
"Master Jiang, why did you come?"
"What is so urgent, I have urged it several times"
On Jixiang Street, Jiang Cheng pushed open the gate of Yun'er's courtyard, and Yanyan and Yun'er greeted him, with anxious faces.
"Me, I ·····"
"Let me tell you, I've started to help Yun'er sell some meals these days, mainly in Sanssouci Building, business was still very good a few days ago, but these days I will make braised pork, and the number of people who braised pork has suddenly increased, not only the cooks in Sanssouci Lou have learned, but the price of those spices has skyrocketed, and this business can't be done."
"That's it?"
Jiang Cheng was a little speechless, he thought something had happened, he hurried over, it turned out to be this.
Jiang Cheng already knew about this, he taught the recipe to the imperial chef in the palace, and the imperial chef made several meals for the emperor and the royal family, and the emperor was very happy, so he used it to feast the ministers, so the dishes of braised pork became famous, and they were very popular in Yongdu City these days.
If it is profitable, someone will learn it, coupled with the recipe recipe that the imperial chef doesn't know how to leak, resulting in restaurants of all sizes in Yongdu City making this dish, those spices are already expensive, and now the sales have increased significantly, and the price has skyrocketed is normal, and the economy is just a law.
"Master Jiang, isn't this matter serious, this is related to Yun'er's career, if the business can't be done, how will she live in the future?"
"Miss Yanyan, you have to recognize a fact, there is nothing secret about cooking, people with a heart look at what ingredients you bought, try a few more times to know, although it may not be as authentic as you, but it is not much worse, not to mention that everyone's taste is different"
"What about Yun'er"
"Give her two choices, the first is to continue to do, in the case of many people, what you have to fight is the details, such as paying attention to the ingredients, controlling the heat, adjusting the taste, and trying new dishes again, the catering industry is also a service industry, just like those restaurants before, their dishes are similar, but they are still doing well?
Second, learn new things, I have other delicacies here, and Yun'er can still mix well when the time comes."
"What else would you do?"
"Of course, I'll have a lot of stuff"
Jiang Cheng replied, these are all small things, there are so many Chinese foods, he can talk about hundreds of kinds, and teaching a little casually is enough for Yun'er to learn.
"Then I'll be the master of Yun'er, learn new things, and ask Master Jiang for advice."
"Okay, we'll talk about it in two days."
"No, Lord Jiang is so busy, it's hard to come out, you can help."
"Okay, but don't regret it then"
"Regrets?"
"Well, the things are so delicious, I'm afraid you'll become fat"
Jiang Cheng nodded, what he was going to teach Yun'er to make was cakes, just this kind of high-sugar thing, it is definitely easy to get fat when you eat it, and sweet things can make people feel happy, girls' favorites, how many women are obsessed with these things, Jiang Cheng used homemade cakes to pursue girls, and his craftsmanship was a must.
Jiang Cheng wrote down the materials and asked Yun'er to buy them, eggs, milk, sugar or honey, and flour, as well as a scale to accurately mix the materials.
In fact, the most difficult thing is the oven, Dawei doesn't have this thing at all, Jiang Cheng is finally ready to replace it with a simple iron box, as for the temperature, there is no thermometer, so it's all up to experience.
The materials were quickly bought, Jiang Cheng taught them how to do it step by step, separating the egg whites and yolks of the eggs, and then beating until emulsified, adding sugar, adding milk, and fermenting the flour, but there is no ready-made low-gluten and high-gluten flour here, and Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to measure it, so it will just come.
When the materials are ready, and the iron box has not been customized, then it can only be replaced by a crockpot, which can barely be regarded as a simple version of the rice cooker cake, Jiang Cheng got a few more crockpots, and made them according to different heat times, and let Yun'er make a record, because Jiang Cheng didn't know what would come out in the end, and the experience had to accumulate slowly.
"This kind of pastry is a university question, you can make hundreds of different pastries, each of the ingredients is different, the taste is different, today is the simplest kind, later you can add cream, honey, you can also add candied fruit, dried fruits.
Don't be stunned, write it down, you have to record every experiment in the future, do it first, it doesn't matter if it's not delicious, the main thing is to write down the process, and you can turn over these records when you're fine.
There is a good saying, the master leads the door, the practice is personal, I can't teach you every kind of pastry by hand, I can only tell you the most basic how to do it, how to improve it in the future, it depends on your comprehension ability..."
Jiang Cheng taught Yun'er on the way to make cakes, he mainly told Yun'er some principles, such as the emulsification of eggs, how to ferment flour, baking time and temperature, etc., as for how to improve, how to develop new varieties, that is really not something he worries about, who eats this bowl of rice to worry about this.
Yun'er and Yanyan both listened attentively, they didn't expect that there were so many changes in a pastry, and many things they had never heard of, especially Yun'er, she used to make some pastries, such as osmanthus cakes, and steamed steamed buns, but she didn't know a lot of things, and now it was an eye-opener.
"Wow, Miss is so delicious, so fluffy"
"Yes, it tastes good, I didn't expect the crockpot to be able to steam steamed buns"
"It's not called steamed bread, it's called cake"
Jiang Cheng tasted it, and felt that it was very unpalatable, the flour was not fully fermented, it was not soft enough, the water was a little too much, and it was too sweet, far worse than how he steamed it in the rice cooker in the dormitory back then, and his cake was no worse than the cake shop at that time, and now this level is just two words to describe it, shameful.
"The cream is delicious, too"
"Well, it's delicious"
"You eat slowly, Yun'er continues to practice these days, and after practicing, take some finished products to Sanssouci Building, girls will like these things more, and your guests will be mainly girls in the future."
"Is Lord Jiang leaving again?"
"I can't stop working hard"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, ready to leave, he hadn't done anything big yet, he was really hard work.
"Lord Jiang, please wait a moment"
"What's the Matter?"
"In Dawei, the secret skills of cooking are never shown, even if they are personal disciples, they have to be slaves and maids, and they are willing to teach them after several years of investigation, but Lord Jiang teaches Yun'er many secret skills, Yun'er wants to make a dress for Lord Jiang to show her gratitude, Yun'er, why don't you go and get a measuring stick to measure for Lord Jiang"
Yun'er was too shy to speak, but Yanyan stomped her foot to help her say it, and asked Yun'er to take a measuring tape to measure Jiang Cheng's size.
