I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 44 Preparation

The next day, when Yun Xuemei opened her eyes while holding her groggy head, Qiao Yun was no longer in bed.

But the warm teapot that had been placed on the small stove in the house turned into a small casserole, with milky white hot steam rising from the small holes in the pot lid, and the fragrance of rice porridge continued to escape.

She rubbed her forehead and glanced at the small black box next to the pillow. She was startled and woke up immediately.

This small box is no bigger than a rectangular paperweight. It is completely black and dotted with billowing waves painted with ground lapis lazuli paint. It is calm and elegant, and very beautiful.

What is this?

Yun Xuemei was curious and took it in her hand to study.

There was a groove on the box, and she inserted her index finger into it and pulled it lightly.

Then under her stunned gaze, the small box quickly turned into a long crossbow!

"Are you up?" Qiao Yun walked into the room at this time, holding a bowl of dark soup in her hand.

Yun Xuemei raised the thing in her hand towards her and asked in confusion: "Did you get this?"

"Yes. You have already figured out how to open it. It seems that you are very familiar with this kind of thing!" Qiao Yun put the medicine bowl on the table, walked forward, and took out another small box from the bag.

Open it and show it to her: "This is the matching special crossbow arrow. Do you think it is the same as the one you usually use?"

"That's enough." Yun Xuemei pursed her lips, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, "Thank you."

The weapons she used in Youlie were not ordinary crossbow arrows, but various hidden weapons that could be mounted on arrows, or projectiles filled with poison.

But she has left Youlie, and she doesn't want to use those dark and shady methods anymore.

Since we have to start over, some things must be given up.

It's bad to keep interrupting.

"Thank you. I promised to get you a weapon. I should have prepared it earlier, but I was a day late and made you catch a cold and fever. It's good if you don't blame me!"

Qiao Yun returned to the stove with a smile, padded her hands with a rag, held the casserole by its ears, took it off the fire, placed it in a small rattan basket that was anti-scalding and insulated, and filled a bowl with a lotus leaf-like celadon bowl.

"I made some lotus seed porridge for you this morning! Don't you like sweet things? Try it while it's hot!"

Yun Xuemei stared at the kang table that was brought to her. This time the porridge was really colorful. Red hawthorn pieces, yellow melon seeds, white lotus seeds, green raisins, black sesame seeds, red, yellow, white, green and black, it seemed like...

It is as if metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are gathered together in this bowl.

She picked up the spoon and stirred it.

Very sticky.

"Lotus root starch?" Yun Xuemei raised her eyes and looked at her.

"No, it's rice flour." This is the rice porridge she made by grinding high-viscosity high-grade japonica rice into powder, then boiling it in boiling water for eight hours.

Of course, this is all done in the game.

Eight hours is sixteen hours! In order for Xue Mei Niang to eat this bowl of lotus seed porridge in the morning, she went to the trading house and bought eight cooking speed cards.

Yun Xuemei couldn't wait to take a bite, and it was so hot that she stuck out her tongue and gasped.

"Be careful! Don't blow too much!"

Qiao Yun filled a bowl for herself and sat across from her. Every time she scooped up a spoonful of porridge, she had to blow it five or six times before she dared to put it into her mouth.

Yun Xuemei followed suit.

When it is not hot, the deliciousness of this bowl of porridge is easy to taste. The sweet and sour taste of hawthorn and wolfberry is very appetizing. The melon seeds and raisins provide rich texture and chewiness. The rice flour porridge is sticky and requires almost no effort.

It can slide down the throat and into the stomach.

"You always make so many delicious things." Yun Xuemei glanced at her with admiration, "It would be great if I could use it to exchange for money. You don't have to get up early and stay up late selling breakfast and wontons."

The good food she has eaten these days has never been seen even when she worked as an undercover agent in the palace to serve the prince's meals.

Kidney Dou clearly has a lot of talents, but to shrink into selling wontons in this small shop is too unqualified!

Qiao Yun sighed.

"I do think so!"

After a little half a month of investigation, she found that the food in this "Xuan Tang Dynasty" seemed to be very monotonous. Many vegetables were just cooked in a pot or steamed. Common meats include steamed dolphin, which is steamed pork.

The slices are marinated with peppercorns and salt in advance, steamed with ginger slices and then eaten with salt, vinegar and garlic sauce.

If the meat is cut into large pieces, it will be difficult to cook it by simply boiling it in water. Steaming it is too greasy, and boiling it in oil is too wasteful. Ordinary people are very frugal in eating oil, so people basically only eat it during the holidays.

Eat grilled meat for once.

Most of the chicken is simply roasted chicken. No wonder Dingshi has such a famous gourd chicken that is steamed and then fried.

She could understand, after all, things like woks would not become popular until the Song Dynasty, and the current dynasty seemed to be still in the early Tang Dynasty.

In addition to gourd chicken, she has also bought other dishes from Ding Shi Ji. This restaurant is very spicy in seasoning and is not willing to use oil. It is really a dimensionality reduction blow to other restaurants.

However, because this restaurant has always been a high-end restaurant, it has not squeezed the survival status of ordinary small restaurants.

For example, that gourd chicken actually costs 460 francs. Usually, buying an old hen in the market only costs 110 francs!

Although there are huge business opportunities, she is now alone. She has no money to make the cost, and if she comes up with amazing dishes on her own, she will be targeted by many colleagues. If she has no backer, she will have no way to fight back in front of the powerful.

force.

Ding Shi Ji is a nice big tree.

It's a pity that when she wanted to cooperate, Dingshiji was temporarily closed due to the Chinese New Year!

She expressed her grievances, and Yun Xuemei burst into laughter.

"So that's it, let's wait until after the New Year. But as far as I know, the Dingshiji in Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou are not closed during the New Year. There are many Hu people who don't celebrate the festivals in the Central Plains. In order to keep up with the Hu people

Ji Liquor Restaurants are robbing business, and the Dingshi Scores in these places are not closed all year round."

"They still have branches?" Qiao Yun opened her mouth wide.

Yun Xuemei nodded: "Yes, the main office of Ding Shiji is in Yangzhou. In this small county, the size of the restaurant can only be regarded as the level of a middle-to-lower restaurant. It is less than one ten thousandth of that of his family in Fucheng."

So awesome? This is not just an ordinary tree, this is simply a General Sherman tree!

Qiao Yun was very moved.

There’s no need to delay, go try it out as soon as it opens after the Chinese New Year!

After finishing the meal and giving Yun Xuemei some medicine, Qiao Yun continued to work in the kitchen.

From the fan she bought at a high price in the game, she dug out a suitably sized gift box from her warehouse to put it in.

But in the final analysis, without special processing in the game, it is just a fan with exquisite embroidery. It would be better to give it to the county magistrate's wife as a meeting gift. If it is a new year gift to the county magistrate's house,

Then this gift is too thin.

She had nothing else to do, so she would give the county magistrate's wife and Meng Shaoqing each a box of peach blossom paste and make two large boxes of snacks.

When I met Meng Shaoqing for the first time, the camellia oil she applied on her face was the camellia oil from Chang'an Shichunji. The county magistrate's wife should have used similar oil. Isn't that what the clerk at the makeup shop said?

The arrogant look of the young woman appeared in Qiao Yun's mind, and she said - "The county magistrate's wife uses makeup from our store!"

The clerk must have never imagined that he would go directly to the county magistrate’s office to celebrate the New Year!

The county magistrate's wife has to deal with the ladies of the squires. This peach blossom moisturizing cream is much easier to use than camellia oil. It can make the wife look more confident in front of the merchants' wives. Everything she made before she proposed it

If it is sold in the Cao family's powder shop, won't the sales that Wang is worried about come in?

Not to mention the snacks and snacks she made, there was no other identical one in Xuan Tang.

Qiao Yun is not worried that the county magistrate's wife will be greedy for her secret recipe.

If she can raise children as approachable as Meng Shaoheng and Meng Shaoqing, then their mother can do no wrong.

Soon it was twenty-nine.

Snow began to fall from the sky again, flying like catkins.

The magistrate's ox cart slowly stopped at the gate of Qiao's backyard.
