Queen Mother is a Scientist

When I opened the door, I smelled a sweet smell of fermented grain in the air.

Hua Qingxue walked curiously to the kitchen and saw that Aunt He was busy inside.On a cutting board covered with a layer of white flour, large white buns were placed neatly.

When Aunt He saw her coming in, she handed a bun to her and said, "Wake up? Well, take it and eat."

The steamed buns were warm, and they were still hot in their hands. Hua Qingxue blew and said, "It smells good."

And white, soft, round, and super appetizing when watching.

Hua Qingxue was not polite, and took a bite at the moment-soft and energetic. After chewing, the rice noodles fermented the sweetness of maltose, which was delicious!

Perhaps the belly was empty, and the first white-faced buns in the morning made Hua Qingxue eat the feeling of mountain and sea.

"Auntie, this bun is delicious." Hua Qingxue praised sincerely.

Aunt He laughed, "There will be buns for a while."

After she finished, she uncovered the steamer on the stove. The white steam was tumultuous, and inside it were white fat buns.

Hua Qingxue opened her eyes wide and was amazed. She couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, do you do so much, are you going to sell it?"

"Yeah, I have an early stall on Fuxing Street to earn some money to live a life." The top layer is covered with a thick cotton pad.

Hua Qingxue saw that she was going to move the bamboo basket and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I will help you."

The two carried the bamboo baskets full of buns out of the kitchen and placed them on the two-wheeled scooter in the courtyard.

At this time the sky was still bright, Aunt He pulled the cricket out of the stall.

Hua Qingxue stood and yawned in front of the courtyard door, closed the courtyard door, and returned to his house.

Seeing Aunt He going out to set up a stall, she couldn't help but wonder how she would make money in the future.

In fact, there are a lot of methods in her head, but most of them are restricted by raw materials and cannot be made...

what!

Hua Qingxue remembered!

When she was in Renqiu, she wanted to make tea and make money. Later, she had to give up because there was no sugar and cooking pot at home. Now she can give it a try!

Cooking tea is simple and easy, and the most important thing is that the cost is very low. Even if you can’t sell it at the end, you won’t lose too much.

Hua Qingxue was more and more excited, and quickly brushed the tea recipe in his mind, and decided to make four teas: chrysanthemum and pear tea, red date wolfberry ginger tea, plum green tea, and winter melon tea.

The ingredients for these tea drinks are relatively common and taste good.

In fact, Hua Qingxue believes that drinking honey citron tea this season is the best. However, citron and honey are considered luxury goods for ordinary people, and the price is relatively expensive. If you make tea, the cost is too high.

People can spend a penny to drink a bowl of tea on the side of the road to quench their thirst, but two penny and three pennies is not necessary, because everyone will think that all three penny can eat a bowl of ravioli, and only drinking tea is too expensive.

Hua Qingxue thought about it and carefully cleaned his house again. He quietly wrote down the tools and materials needed for home use and tea making, and decided to go out for purchase.

The sky was getting brighter, and the shops on both sides of the street also opened one after another.

Hua Qingxue walked while paying attention to what the shops on both sides were selling, and what the pedestrians on the road were buying.

Although she already knows that it is the Daqi Kingdom, whether it is the dressing of people walking on the street, the style of architectural furniture and the production technology of small commodities, it feels like the ancient Chinese Song Dynasty.

For example, the production technology of sucrose was very close to modern sugar-making technology during the Song Dynasty. The sugar produced by west cane was slightly light due to its impure white color, and the price was not high.Ducan is sweet and thick, and the sugar used to make it is white and frost-like in color, with the highest price.

Hua Qingxue felt that it should be diverted from history, similar to another world in the ancient Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty is good. The Song Dynasty is the most prosperous economy, the most developed technology, the most prosperous culture, the highest art, and the richest living standards of all dynasties.

The most important thing is that this dynasty has the most inventions and creations, so it is very suitable for Hua Qingxue to settle down here.

Hua Qingxue slowly selected on the street.

Dried chrysanthemums, ginger, wolfberry are very common, and they are sold in drug stores.Hua Qingxue had just started to do it and wasn't going to buy too much, so he only bought a little for each and didn't spend much money.

I just encountered a problem when buying plums.

The taste of plum green tea is good or bad, and plum is the key. You must choose the plum that is salty and sour, and the tea is delicious.

However, Hua Qingxue has been around for a long time, and has not bought the proper plum, or it can be said that in this era, plum, pickling methods and taste are different from her perception.

Plum green tea cannot be made.

Hua Qingxue couldn't help being disappointed. She was thinking if there was any other tea to replace. She glanced at the noodle shop selling rice grains and moved out a lot of corn!

corn?!

Is it really corn?!

Hua Qingxue was shocked!

Isn’t corn only available in the Ming Dynasty?……what!Forgot again, this is not the history of her cognition!

Hua Qingxue walked inquisitively. She mainly wanted to know, is this corn native or imported from other places?

There are not many people buying things at the moment, and Xiaodian Er is happy to chat with her.

It turns out that the corn here is not called corn, but is called jade wheat. It was brought back to Daqi by merchants from overseas, and was presented to the emperor as a rare thing. When the emperor saw it, Longxin was very happy. Planting crops is spread.

However, this promotion seems to have not started for a few years. The people who planted it are not too many. People are gradually familiar with this new crop. Although they know that fresh corn is sweet and tender after cooking, the dried corn is because of the noodles. After the taste is rough, it is not very popular.

Hua Qingxue asked the price and found that it was cheap, so he happily bought two or three.

Hua Qingxue, who had bought so much, returned to her residence with satisfaction. It was almost noon, and people were hungry, but she didn't have anything to eat at home. She remembered that she had just patronized the materials used to buy tea, but forgot the rice grains and oil used in the buyer. salt.

Alas... this toss...

Preparing to go out again, he looked up and saw Auntie He pulled the scooter back.

Hua Qingxue's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Auntie, do you have any steamed buns left? Can you sell me?"

Aunt He froze for a moment, then smiled, "Did you eat?"

Hua Qingxue smiled shyly, "Well, I haven't done it yet."

Aunt He turned and took two or three buns from the basket and stuffed them into Hua Qingxue's hands. "The buns are sold out. You can take the rest and eat them."

Hua Qingxue hurriedly paid the money, and Aunt He naturally refused to ask for it. The two men turned back and forth, and Aunt He barely accepted the money.

Aunt He went into the house and packed up the bamboo baskets and mattresses. Hua Qingxue gnawed buns and followed behind Aunt He like a fart, asking, "Aunt, I'm going to put a stall on the street to sell tea. Do you have any? Any good ideas?"

Aunt He looked back at her with a hesitant look, "Your little girl, go out and set up a stall... I'm afraid I will lose money."

In particular, Hua Qingxue is soft and weak. Wouldn’t it be bad if he met a stubborn rogue?

Hua Qingxue opened his eyes wide and asked: "Is there any danger? But I just went to the street just now, watching the security is very good..."

Auntie He thought about it and said to her, "If you don't, try it on Dongzheng Street. The booth over there is selected by the Yamen Circle. As long as you pay the money, no one will occupy the place. Street, security is good."

Hua Qingxue asked: "How much should I pay?"

"I remember it seems... fifty essays per month." Aunt He thought about it and told her seriously, "Spending some money is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is safety. You are a little girl, not like our bad women. Son, it’s better to be careful."

Hua Qingxue nodded again and again.

Aunt He reminded her again: "But if you want to rent a booth, you have to go to Yamen to go through the formalities. Within ten days and a half months, you're afraid that you can't do it. If you really want to rent, you can go early."

So troublesome...

Hua Qingxue remembered it, and thanked Aunt He, and went back to the house with the remaining buns.

In the afternoon, Hua Qingxue took out his family registration certificate and silver and went out.

But instead of going to Yamen, she was going to the General's Mansion.

To tell the truth, she was a woman who went to a place like Yamen.Probably because the shadow in Liao Bing was too deep last time...

Since Beard said that he can go to the house of generals for anything, such a relationship cannot be wasted.

Hua Qingxue followed the route explained by the soldiers last time and walked on and on, and found the ruling general's palace.

The high-walled blue tiles and the lacquered lacquered gate are directly above the plaque of the "General General's Mansion", and on both sides of the gate are standing two majestic lions.

Hua Qingxue hadn't had time to get excited, and the guards who guarded the gate waved at her with disgust, "walking through the side door."

What side door?

Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this seemed to be the case. Some ancient high-profile big households, the main entrance was rarely used on weekdays, and all entrances and exits were through other doors.

But... where is the side entrance of the General's Palace?

Hua Qingxue glanced disappointedly at the two nursing homes at the gate. From the disdain and contempt in the eyes of the other party, she could not expect someone to lead the way, find it yourself...

Hua Qingxue slowly walked along the courtyard wall outside the General Mansion. After a long walk, he finally found the side door!

The side door is actually larger than the courtyard door of ordinary people.

Hua Qingxue stepped forward and patted the door. Someone quickly opened the door. He was a young servant. He seemed to be dozing just now. He was holding a half door with one hand, and was still yawning.

Hua Qingxue quickly said: "Hello, is the housekeeper Zhao here?"

The other party frowned and swept her from head to toe and asked, "What's the matter with Zhao Butler? Who is his family?"

Hua Qingxue replied carefully: "It is not the family of Zhao Guanjia, but I have something to ask Zhao Guanjia for help..."

Before he finished speaking, he was impatiently interrupted by the other party: "Do you want to see Mr. Zhao's house?! Go, go! Stay away! Don't look at where it is, so dare to climb. relationship!"

Let's just close the door with a snap!
