The full-level skillful wear becomes the control group

Chapter 363 Who is the real one? ! (one more)
In the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace.

Su Yueling was talking to the queen mother about how to make ice with saltpeter, and the queen mother immediately asked someone to open the warehouse and took out the saltpeter.

There is a large basin of water in the iron basin, and a small basin filled with water is placed inside.

Soon, the waiter brought over the saltpeter, put it in the water, stirred it with chopsticks, and let it dissolve.

However, it is impossible to make ice with saltpeter immediately, and it will take time.

Before that, Su Yueling ate with the Queen Mother first.The queen mother showed off to Su Yueling: "The cake recipe you gave earlier, the imperial chef successfully made it, it is better than the one in your house."

"The chef's skills are definitely better than those of my chefs." Naturally, Su Yueling would not be stubborn, after all, this is the truth.

The queen mother was a little embarrassed, and said: "When you leave, go to the imperial dining room to pick two and bring them back to the mansion, and let them serve you and Shaoqing."

Shaoqing is Yuan Suijun's character.Compared with the name Suijun, the queen mother obviously prefers to call him with words.

Of course, Su Yueling would not miss such benefits.

"Okay, I won't be polite. Maybe I will pick away the royal cook you are used to, the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "You can choose."

"Speaking of which, you grew honeydew melons and grapes yourself anyway."

Su Yueling said: "I happened to have seeds in my hand, so I planted them."

The queen mother was not very interested in the honeydew melons and grapes she sent over.The two kinds of fruits sent by Fanbang were also kept and grown by themselves, but what they grew was delicious that no one offered.

But this is Su Yueling's wish, and the queen mother is still willing to give her face.After Su Yueling delivered it, he asked someone to cut a cantaloupe and washed a bunch of grapes.

The maids' hands and feet were very nimble, and the sliced ​​cantaloupe was delivered quickly, with sticks beside it.And the grapes, one by one, are extremely juicy, like deep purple gemstones, and the rich grape fragrance is even more fascinating.

The queen mother was a little surprised. She tried the cantaloupe first, and her expression changed immediately.

The juice was extraordinarily plentiful, the melon was extremely sweet, and it was even tastier than the offering.

Eating the grapes again would also surprise her.

The Queen Mother immediately asked, "How many grapes and cantaloupe did you bring in?"

Su Yueling said: "There are five catties of grapes and ten cantaloupe."

The queen mother said: "Send a cantaloupe and a catty of grapes to the emperor and Xiang'er. By the way, the queen and Minmin will also send one each."

Now she only has the granddaughter Minmin, so she naturally loves her, and she will not forget to give her a share of any good things.As for the other concubines, they were out of her consideration.

The queen mother did some calculations, and the cantaloupe was nothing more than that. She sent four out by herself, and there were six more to eat.But for grapes, she only has one catty left to eat.

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression, Su Yueling wanted to laugh.

The character of the queen mother is really similar to her grandma.

She suppressed a smile and said, "I haven't finished picking the grapes and cantaloupe in Lushan Village. There are quite a few. Or the Empress Dowager sent someone to pick them?"

Anyway, put it there, Baoshu and the others couldn't finish it.If Su Yueling was to be transported to Beijing by himself, the workload would be too much and troublesome.

But for the queen mother, this is not a problem.

The light in the Empress Dowager's eyes was lit up again, "It's still you, the child who is filial."

She loved Su Yueling at first because Su Yueling was at ease in front of her, which made her feel at ease.The second is because Su Yueling is her grandson-in-law, but now she loves Su Yueling more because Su Yueling treats her sincerely and filially.

She immediately called her confidant over and told him to leave for Lushan Village today.

Su Yueling said: "Wait until I write a letter, and then I will bring the letter to my sister-in-law Yuan Baoshu."

"Or you can go to the store in the county town to find the boss lady Wu Shu."

Both of them can call the shots.

After the pen and paper were brought, Su Yueling quickly wrote a letter.

The servant led a team and was about to leave the capital immediately, with a lot of action.

Only then did the Queen Mother heave a sigh of relief, she couldn't get enough of the tribute every year, but now she can have a good time.

The queen mother ate a lot of grapes and cantaloupe, but Su Yueling stopped her because she was afraid that she would catch a cold from eating too much.

At this time, the water in the water basin had been reacting for a period of time, and it had already frozen into ice cubes, exuding a cold air.

Madam Shi said to the Queen Mother excitedly, "Madam, the water really froze!"

The queen mother immediately stood up, "Ai's family will also go and have a look!"

When she walked to the water basin and looked at the congealed ice, the queen mother was stunned. Like a child, she reached out to touch the ice, then retracted quickly, her eyes widened, "It's really ice. piece!"

The voice was full of wonder.

In the eyes of the empress dowager, it was like magic, extraordinarily miraculous.Putting saltpeter into the water can actually make the water freeze, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have dared to imagine it.

Speaking of it, although the royal family hoards ice cubes every winter, there are so many people who share, those who are not high enough, or who are not favored, will get relatively few ice cubes.Naturally, the Queen Mother herself does not have this trouble, but if the ice cubes can increase, it would be a good thing.

The Queen Mother came to her senses, and immediately told Madam Shi, "The matter of saltpeter today must not be spread."

After she was happy, she asked Su Yueling, "Whatever you want, just open the warehouse to get it."

This year's summer came earlier than in previous years, so the consumption of ice must be more.

Su Yueling said: "Can I change the reward?" She also started bargaining with the Queen Mother.

"At that time, give me more saltpeter so that I can make ice at home."

Saltpeter itself can also be used repeatedly.

The queen mother nodded and said, "This Ai family can be the master, no problem."

In her opinion, Su Yueling's request was too low.

When she is free, she will open the warehouse and choose some jewelry suitable for young girls from it.

For Su Yueling, this was just a small idea. Having successfully achieved her goal, she happily went to the imperial dining room and asked each imperial chef to cook their specialty dishes, and finally chose the two that best suited her taste to go back.

One is good at hard dishes, and the other is good at making pasta.The two royal chefs were favored by Su Yueling, and they didn't feel that they were at a loss.Although they have superb cooking skills, there are no low-level chefs in the Imperial Dining Room, and it is difficult for them to succeed in it.

But when they arrived at the county lord's mansion, they were the real kitchen managers.Although Su Yueling is picky, she has a lot of money and doesn't punish people easily. She is really a good master.Therefore, the two royal chefs were very happy to go there.

After making the selection, Su Yueling returned home happily.

The Empress Dowager asked the emperor to come over to show Su Yueling's merits in front of the emperor.

"There is no one who is more filial and desireless than Yue Ling, who gave me such a good idea, but only asks for a little saltpeter to go back."

"She has delicious food, and she misses me all the time. Such a person who is afraid of heat, goes to the palace to send me good things. How is it like you, you don't think of me at all!"

Emperor Rong Ji felt that he had died unjustly. He obviously sent all the tributes to his own mother first. Isn't that filial?

"It's better for you to have a vision and find such a good grandson-in-law for me, otherwise your wings will be hardened, and none of you will miss me."

Rong Ji felt that since Su Yueling came, his own, his own, was almost picked up.

After the Queen Mother said something, she changed the subject, "Will Yue Ling's idea make you money?"

Rong Ji nodded, it's no wonder the Queen Mother likes Su Yueling so much.With her face in front of the Queen Mother, even if she asked for saltpeter to go back, the Queen Mother would not refuse.She could use this recipe to make a lot of money, but she took it out without hesitation.

With the method of making ice with saltpeter, he can increase the ice quota for each official this year, and he can also sell the ice.I think those rich people in the capital are willing to pay for it, which can also increase the money in the national treasury.

It can be said that Su Yueling directly delivered a golden hen to him.

The Queen Mother said: "It's because she is sensible that she doesn't ask for rewards, but we are juniors, so we can't really let her suffer."

"She is now the county lord, and she has to look like a county lord for her daily necessities, food, housing, and transportation, otherwise she will make people laugh. After this year, the expenses are much higher than when she was the county lord at the beginning, especially here. Beijing."

"How can her little salary be enough!"

"I don't think it's better for you to reward her with another Huangzhuang to subsidize her so that this child will not suffer."

Rong Ji was speechless and choked: Can you blame him for making Su Yueling the county lord?
He once again doubted life, who is his own?
