"It's not. Princess. King Qian lay on the desk, leaning towards Xia Jing, a bit of a scoundrel, let him go, he didn't go.

He said in a consultative tone: "Princess, let's discuss this matter again, you see, ice may not be precious in the northern aristocratic circle, but it is definitely a rare thing in Lingnan, you only do business in the city has limitations, if you cooperate with this king, then you can do business all over the country, then you don't have to worry about counting silver at home every month, what a cost-effective business!" ”

Xia Jing looked at him, not to mention that he admired this old gentleman's face, how could he be so thick.

"Originally, I could have done an exclusive business, but now you want to come and take half of my money, and you shamelessly say that it is a good business. I think the best deal should be you, if you want to play a few tricks in front of me and cheat me out of the idea of making money! ”

King Qian didn't expect Xia Jing to react like this, which made him a little surprised, and made him a little aggrieved, "How can this be said to be a lie?" You come up with ideas, and the two sides cooperate to achieve a win-win situation, and it is a bit inappropriate to use the word deception. ”

Xia Jing didn't eat his set at all, it could be said that oil and salt didn't enter, and she shook her head without thinking about listening to his words: "Don't use the same set in front of other women on me, the old lady is not bewitched by you." ”

Putting the vulgar words of the old lady on his lips again, King Qian's forehead was faintly beating with green tendons, and he glared and emphasized: "My princess, this is a win-win, win-win!" ”

Xia Jing doesn't care if he is win-win or not, as long as King Qian unites his sons to beat her, it is not right, "You even want to rob me of a housewife's way to make money, it's just despicable and shameless, there is no lower limit!" ”

King Qian was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, some time ago, when he saw Xia Jing's way of life, he thought that she had changed and become a reasonable person, but he didn't expect that she would be stimulated a little and hit her back to the original state, she was still the unreasonable tricky girl before!

He pointed at her with trembling fingers, "You woman with long hair and short knowledge, you don't want to make money by putting your money, do you want to be angry with this king?" It's just stupid and hopeless! ”

Who dares to play tricks in front of her, Xia Jing can be more horizontal than him, I saw her leaning back in the chair, her neck raised slightly, and her words were extremely arrogant, "It's your business, the old lady's own ideas, you can make money whenever you want, I think you have someone, the old lady's personal guard camp of more than 1,000 people are not eating dry food, and their families." It can be said that as long as I want to open an ice shop, there will be countless people who want to serve me in a word. ”

In the end, she snorted coldly at King Qian in anger: "You say, why does the old lady not use it herself, but change it to someone who uses you, and gives you half of the silver?" ”

Just by rolling over the sheets with the original? It's a pity that Xia Jing didn't buy it.

King Qian stood up angrily and pointed at her, "You, you, you are simply unreasonable!" ”

With that, he threw away his sleeves and left!

Hongmei watched the angry King Qian leave the courtyard, she turned around and entered the main house, and saw that Xia Jing was already lazily leaning on the soft couch.

She walked over helplessly and helped change a glass of juice, "Why do you deliberately make the prince angry?" ”

Xia Jing said coldly: "I'm warning him, don't get carried away to be my master, my lord can't make it his turn to decide." ”

If she emphasized this seriously, it would definitely be easy to hurt the faces of the two.

Now that the two are still husband and wife in name, the interests are tied together, and in order to better cooperate in the future, she can only self-destruct her image and mess around.

In this way, it will not hurt each other's face, but it can also prevent King Qian from beating her idea, and prevent him from always being her master when he has nothing to do in the future.

After this incident, in the future, whenever it comes to her, he will definitely weigh and weigh before making a decision.

Hongmei frowned slightly, "You have provoked the prince, isn't this cheaper than the other rooms?" ”

Although the prince has several concubines, the only advantage is that the concubines are not young, and the princess is younger than the princess.

The original advantage was made by the princess, and the prince's heart returned to several concubines.

Hongmei remembered that the princess had returned from the coffin, and the princess had almost never stayed overnight with the princess.

Whenever she thought of this, she panicked and worried about the princess.

It's too worrying to have a master who doesn't compete for favor.

Xia Jing glanced at her and pointed to Bai Mei who was sitting in the cubicle, "You should learn from her, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" If you have this free time, why don't you go and see if the soybeans I let you soak are ready? ”

When Hongmei heard this, she said a little embarrassedly: "The princess taught me that the slave maid will go." ”

After a while, Hongmei returned.

"Princess, the soybeans have been soaked, and the stone mill has been cleaned, is it time to grind the pulp next?"

Bai Mei walked out of the compartment, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Princess, let the slave and maid grind." ”

"There are a lot of rough mothers-in-law in the kitchen, how can you use your thin arms and legs to work." Xia Jing stood up, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

The three of them went out of the main house and saw the wooden barrel placed under the porch, and the soybeans soaked in the barrel had completely expanded.

Xia Jing asked her mother-in-law to pick up the bucket, and the master and servant went to the big kitchen in the backyard together.

Because there is a stone mill in the big kitchen.

Xia Jing has been in this era for so long, and she has never seen the dish of tofu on the table, and only after asking did she know that tofu has not been made in this era.

It's right to think about it, in this era, the food is shoddy, and the chef's requirements only need to be cooked, so who will think about the food.

Before her, no one used yeast, but she found a large box of yeast from the space and used yeast to make noodles, and xiaolongbao, steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. were put on the market.

Nowadays, the chefs in the house know that every time they make steamed buns, they will leave a small piece of dough for the next dough to be used.

When I got to the big kitchen, I handed over the soaked soybeans to the rough mother-in-law to grind the pulp.

Xia Jing instructed a few maids to clean the custom-made wooden frame, which is also called a tofu box, which is specially used to press tofu.

Then wash the cut cotton gauze and soak it in water for later use.

Not long after the meal, the people in the big kitchen were free, and when they heard that Xia Jing had come to teach everyone to make a food that they had not eaten, everyone gathered around.

Xia Jing happened to need help here, so she ordered a powerful daughter-in-law and asked her to help grind the plaster.

Xia Jing didn't find brine in Lingnan, and she didn't have brine to order tofu, so she could only find other substitutes, but fortunately she found gypsum from the pharmacy.

The so-called gypsum here is not a mixed gypsum of the gypsum line of later generations.

The gypsum in the pharmacy is a natural ore containing calcium sulfate in water, which is white or translucent crystals, and the weight is not light, like a brick, which can be used for self-defense.

Grinding gypsum is a water grinding method, a small amount of water is filled in a large clay pot, and the gypsum is washed and rubbed vigorously in the clay pot, and slowly the water in the clay pot will turn into white gypsum water.

How many catties of beans and how much gypsum are particular, too much tofu is too old, and too little tofu is too tender.

Xia Jing didn't really make tofu in the last days, everything was just to be explored.

After grinding and boiling, the soybean milk is filtered, and then put into several wooden barrels, and the amount of gypsum water poured into each barrel is different.

After two quarters of an hour, use a spoon to test the solidification of the soy milk in the bucket, the too tender can be eaten as tofu brains, and the other two older buckets are poured into a wooden frame and pressed into tofu.

"Hongmei, you bring a few maids to send some of this bucket of tofu brains to a few rooms, and distribute the rest to the people in the kitchen, everyone can taste it."

Xia Jing also told everyone that tofu brain can be salty or sweet, and it all depends on personal preferences to eat which flavor you want to eat.

After the tofu was pressed in the wooden frame, Xia Jing took Bai Mei back to her yard first.

King Qian has been sullen since he returned to the study from Xia Jing's courtyard, and he has not given anyone a good look.

Mr. Zhang's gossip heart arose, and he wanted to ask Anu what happened, but Anu was the shadow of King Qian, how could he pay attention to his master behind his back.

couldn't hear the inside story, so anxious that Mr. Zhang scratched his ears and cheeks.

Until Hongmei came in, King Qian's face became even more stinky, and at this time, Mr. Zhang wanted to know how the princess scolded the prince.

King Qian saw Hongmei come in, and snorted coldly: "Did your master ask you to come over?" If she just wants you to apologize, tell her that the king won't forgive her! ”

Hongmei listened to his words and did not explain, but smiled forward and handed the tray to Anu next to her.

"The princess personally cooked this food, and specially asked the slave maid to send it to the prince to taste, if the princess likes it, the princess will make it next time."

In the end, Hongmei thought for a while and added: "The princess knows that you love sweets, so she deliberately put brown sugar, which tastes good." ”

King Qian stirred the tofu brain in the bowl, "What is this?" ”

"Tofu brain, made with soybeans, oh, soybeans are what we call soybeans."

"Huh?" King Qian was startled, lowered his head and sniffed, "This smell doesn't have an unpleasant fishy smell." ”

And this tofu brain, although brown sugar is added, it can still be seen that it is snow-white and snow-white, and it is not at all like food made of soybean.

Hongmei looked at him patiently, "This is made by the princess through a special technique, you can taste it, the taste is really good." ”

Mr. Zhang squeezed over and saw that there were still a lot of tofu brains in the big bowl, so he asked, "Miss Hongmei, there are still a lot of these tofu brains, can the old man and Mr. Yan try them?" ”

Hongmei nodded happily, "Of course, the princess has prepared a lot of weight." ”

King Qian glared at Mr. Zhang, who came to grab food, and he didn't care about being reserved at this time, so he took a sip directly from the bowl, "Hmm, it's so tender, it tastes good, and it really doesn't smell like beany smell." ”

"Delicious? The old man had to drink two more bowls. As soon as Mr. Zhang heard King Qian's words, he ignored the rules and took a sip of the bowl.

Seeing this, King Qian drank the tofu brain in the bowl in a few sips, and hurriedly asked Anu to serve him another bowl.

"You drink the rest."

King Qian took the bowl handed over by Anu and pointed to the remaining tofu brain in the sea bowl, even if it was left, it would not be cheap for Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang, who had just tasted it, was anxious, "Hey, leave some more for the old man with such a delicious thing." ”

Anu wanted to excuse himself, how could the slave rob the master of food, but seeing Mr. Zhang's reaction, he swallowed back the words that were about to be spoken, and took a sip of the big bowl while Mr. Zhang's hand was not stretched out.

Mr. Zhang paused, turned his head unwillingly and asked Hongmei: "Girl, is there still a kitchen?" ”

Hongmei shook her head and said uncertainly: "There is a bucket left in the kitchen, and there is still half a bucket left in the kitchen when the slave and maid come, but it should be eaten by the people in the kitchen at this time." ”

Mr. Zhang patted his thigh quite regretfully, and his words were a little inappropriate, "What a tyrannical thing, how can such a delicious thing be eaten by the next people!" ”

Hongmei's smile faded a little, "Sir, our princess said that the people in the kitchen are also hard, so naturally we have to treat them, and this food is not precious, they can naturally eat it." ”

Mr. Zhang also knew that he had said the wrong thing at this time, and slapped his mouth lightly, "It's the old man who said the wrong thing without choosing words, girl, this tofu brain tastes good, when will you make it next time?" ”

"This slave doesn't know either."

Several people in the study listened to Hongmei's words, and a trace of disappointment flashed in their eyes.

It's just that the disappointment hasn't dissipated yet, and I heard Hongmei say: "However, tonight's dinner will have tofu and other dishes, and I heard the princess say that the taste is also good, and the prince and Mr. can taste it then, if you like it, the princess will arrange time for everyone to eat next time." ”

In the evening, Xia Jing told the kitchen a few ways to make tofu, and let Hongmei take half a plate of tofu back to her Yigui Courtyard.

Frying, frying, burning, boiling, boiling, the small kitchen made a table of tofu feasts with different patterns.

It was also the first time that the two big girls knew that the original simple ingredient could make so many tricks?

"Wow, Princess, what's the name of these dishes?"

The two big girls looked at a table of delicious food with all the colors and aromas, and the gluttonous insects in their stomachs almost hooked out.

Xia Jing squinted her eyes slightly, smelled the diffuse fragrance, pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one: "This dish is home-cooked tofu, this dish is stuffed tofu, tofu and green vegetable soup, braised tofu in oil, tofu with skin, five dishes and one soup, enough for us to eat at night." ”

"Oh, it's so fragrant, what kind of good dishes did the princess cook tonight, and I can smell the fragrance in the courtyard."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain that isolated the high temperature outside was lifted, and the tall figure of King Qian walked in.

Anu pulled out a chair for him, and King Qian sat down with a smile and glanced at the dishes on the table, "Princess, you can start eating." ”

Xia Jing laughed angrily at him, "I remember that I didn't invite the prince to dine tonight." ”

"Ah, no?" King Qian glanced at Hongmei and fixed his mind, "It may be that this king has misunderstood and will be wrong." ”

Xia Jing followed his gaze and fell on Hongmei's body, Hongmei waved her hand anxiously, and greeted the eight generations of King Qian's ancestors in her heart, you said that you can rub rice if you want to come to eat, why do you say such ambiguous and misleading words?

Xia Jing sneered: "I didn't expect the prince to have a problem with being amorous." ”

King Qian didn't seem to understand, he didn't care at all, hehe Zhile, "Since this king is here, you and I haven't had dinner together for a long time, so let's have a good meal tonight." ”

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth twitched when she heard this, especially King Qian's gluttony, she really couldn't see it, it was just spicy eyes.

It's the end of the month again, and the treasures don't have monthly passes~
