I went back to ancient times to do business with my game account

Chapter 45
Although it is an ox cart, it is not simple at all.The wood of the carriage is exquisite, exquisitely carved, and painted with gold lacquer.The yellow ox pulling the cart has a strong build, eyes like copper bells, and its two corners are bright green, and the horns are wrapped with thick silk to prevent accidental injuries.His thick fur was as smooth as silk, and he flicked his tail leisurely.

When Qiao Yun opened the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet the cow face to face.

The big ox looked at her leisurely, snorted, and spewed a puff of white air from his nose.

Qiao Yun was startled, and she spontaneously praised the cow.

What a cow!Look at this body of tendons, look at these strong and powerful limbs!
It's a pity that the cow doesn't plow the land!
The big ox seemed to read the thoughts in her heart, and turned his head aside in disdain.

Pulling a cart in a big family can be done every day, and you can eat delicious food such as bean cakes and wheat bran just by pulling the cart occasionally. Isn’t it more comfortable than pulling a plow all day and night at a farmhouse but only chewing dry straw?Why does it go to cultivate the land?

Qiao Yun was stunned.

How did she seem to read the look of contempt from the eyes of a cow?
There was also a servant girl sitting on the side of the car, wearing a water-red jacket and a black high-waisted skirt, her shiny black hair was combed into a bun on the top of her head, and she was surrounded by small red silk flowers. Spirit.

Seeing the courtyard door open, she jumped down and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Yun's family. The maid was ordered by the county magistrate's wife to take you to the county magistrate's mansion."

Qiao Yun nodded: "Thank you."

The maid naturally took the gift box from Qiao Yun's hand, stuffed it into the carriage, and then helped the two of them into the carriage.

The chassis of the bullock cart is low, and it is effortless to get on the cart.Moreover, the interior of the carriage is also spacious and comfortable, wrapped in silk on all sides, and the windows wrapped in gold lacquer are covered by thick felt curtains, making it airtight.

Most of the furniture from the early Tang Dynasty is still short. There are no stools in this car, but soft cushions and small tables.

"This is a hand stove, please hold Nuan Nuan first, make it easy, and you will arrive at the county magistrate's mansion soon."

The servant girl lifted the curtain of the car, knelt beside the car, opened the cabinet at the door, took out two hand stoves wrapped in thick mattresses, and stuffed them into their arms.

The servant girl was very polite and didn't ask any questions. After serving the two of them, she sat back on the edge of the car outside, flicked the whip, and the old scalper let out a "moo" and slowly pulled the car forward. The sound of the bell around the neck is crisp and pleasant.

Qiao Yun used to ride a carriage in that kind of ancient architectural scenic spot. The streets there are bluestone roads. After being walked for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be worn out. The uneven road surface made her buttocks bloom.

Although the streets of this small county are not much different from the previous scenic spot, the ox cart is very stable, and it is quite comfortable to lean on the cushion lazily. I don't know whether to praise the ox for walking steadily or slowly.

Qiao Yun wanted to share this idea, but she didn't dare to say directly that she had been in a carriage, so she turned her head and said to Yun Xuemei, "The ox cart is more comfortable than the donkey cart."

"The donkey cart is just a board. When did you see the donkey pull the carriage with the car?" Yun Xuemei thought it was funny, "Of course the cold wind outside is not as comfortable as inside the carriage."

Seeing that Yun Xuemei didn't understand what she wanted to express, Qiao Yun pursed her lips and turned to study the snacks on the small table.

There are two plates of dim sum, one is honey fried sanzi, and the other is something like baked mille-feuille.

She has seen these two in the game!In the Tang Dynasty, these two things were called Jushengnu and Jinlusu respectively.

After all, the game is based on ancient recipes, and now she actually saw Tang Dynasty dim sum!

Qiao Yun couldn't wait to pick up a golden dew crisp, held it with a handkerchief and took a bite.

Just like the recipe restored in the game, this ancient golden dew cake is indeed rolled into a thin skin with eggs and noodles, and then baked with oil and sugar layer by layer. It is crispy, crispy, fragrant and sweet.But in ancient China, there was no butter, lard was used for shortening traditional dim sum, and the sugar was crude granulated sugar, so eating too much would make you feel greasy.

Qiao Yun put down her hand in disappointment after eating this one, and didn't want to eat the second one.

Although the recipes in the game "Jiang Hu Ke" also use lard to shorten, players can use other fats instead.Therefore, many players who have been in contact with Daqin Merchant have tried to replace the lard puff pastry with butter puff pastry. Sure enough, the game side strictly forbids the details in this aspect, and the taste of the finished product is completely different.

The pastries sold in Qiao Yun's dim sum shop are also butter pastry.

Butter has a milky aroma, but contains very little lactose. It can add rich flavor to desserts without triggering the lactose intolerance of people in the Central Plains, so it is very popular.

"Isn't it delicious?" Seeing her expression, Yun Xuemei also took a bite of Jinlu crisp, and immediately showed a puzzled expression.

"Isn't that nice!"

Qiao Yun waved her hand: "Too tired..."

Although the shortening effect of lard is indeed better than that of butter, and the puff pastry made is white, which is much better than butter puff pastry.

But tired!

She can eat four or five mille-feuilles, but she can eat at most two pastries baked with lard.

Yun Xuemei murmured in her heart. According to Kidou, she grew up in a farmer's family. Farmers let alone lard, and vegetable oil is a rare commodity. How did she develop such a tricky Taste?

While slandering, she wiped out the two plates of snacks on the table.

After eating the last piece of honey sanzi, the ox cart just stopped at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.

The servant girl raised the curtain and said, "Two distinguished guests, please get out of the car."

Yun Xuemei quickly wiped the shortbread crumbs on her mouth with a handkerchief, then patted her clothes, shaking off the pastry that was accidentally stained on it, and soon entered a dignified and serious state.

Under the leadership of the servant girl, the two entered the mansion through the corner gate and walked all the way to the main courtyard, where the wife of the county magistrate, Mrs. Lu, received guests.

The main house in the courtyard is five rooms wide, with carved beams and painted buildings, white bibi, Danying and blue tiles. It is a typical Tang Dynasty building, which is quite different from the dusty houses outside.

Being able to meet them in the main courtyard shows that the county magistrate's wife did not despise the two of them. Of course, it may also be to give them a bad impression.

It depends on what kind of person this lady is.

"The two ladies of Qiao's family have received it!" The maid standing at the door saw them both stepping through the hanging flower door from a distance, fighting to open the curtain and reply to the room.

When the two entered the room, they saw a Wenbo sitting barrier with three screens inlaid with the moon-white late autumn picture on the front, and two footstools each enough to sit two people were placed on the sitting barrier.There are two rows of eight Wenbai footless chairs of the same style on the bottom, and a woman with an extraordinary bearing is sitting on the barrier.

Seeing them coming, she narrowed her eyes and looked them up and down carefully, the astonishment in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Although the clothes on both of them are linen, the colors match well, which makes people's eyes shine. Their hair is also combed meticulously, which is very different from the temperament of other vendors in Quwo County.Obviously a very particular person.

If you insist on making an analogy, it's like two big white geese out of a flock of ducks.

When the emperor was wise and open, there were no restrictions on the clothing materials of merchants, but only those particularly prosperous prefectures had such a custom.

After all, silk and satin are expensive!

Except for those well-known wealthy businessmen, most of the traders are just small businesses, who can afford it?
The county magistrate's wife only took one look, felt relieved, and opened her heart to the two of them.

No wonder Qingqing likes them both. Who doesn't like such beautiful girls?

She got up quickly and greeted him warmly and cordially.

"Sister of the Yun family, you look like a fairy! This is your daughter, she looks really cute! I often hear Qingqing talking about you two, and I only know this girl when I meet today. It's not an exaggeration. She was looking forward to the stars and the moon in the house, and she finally brought you two here. Somebody, go and invite the third lady over here."

Qiao Yun was a little surprised by the beaming look of the county magistrate's wife.

Whether it's "Three Words, Two Beats" or "Dream of Red Mansions", the wives of the officials in it are all self-respecting and expensive, with their eyes above the top.

The county magistrate's wife is considered the number one honorable status in Quwo County, and she can talk and laugh without any distance from the merchant class.

The big maid Shutong at the side coughed lightly.

My wife is out of shape, but she still remembers it.

The little girl at the side brought the futon at this time, Yun Xuemei knew that this was a salute, and it was appropriate for their merchants to see the female relatives of the county magistrate's mansion.

Although Qiao Yun didn't think of this level, she didn't care too much. After all, this lady is an elder. In her previous life, when she went back to her hometown to pay New Year's greetings to her grandma, she had to kowtow, so she didn't dislike it.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were stopped by Lu Shi before they even bent their knees: "How can you use such a solemn ceremony? The girl from the Yun family is white, am I not? Ordinary etiquette is fine."

Yun Xuemei laughed, and blessed her body: "Mr. Yun, a civilian woman, has seen Madam."

Qiao Yun also followed suit with a salute, and said crisply, "I've seen the county magistrate's wife."

Lu looked at Qiao Yun, who was the same age as her own Qingqing, but had a completely different temperament, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

Qingqing was spoiled and brought up, she was born with a round jade, and everyone who saw her praised her for being blessed; but the little lady in front of her was slender, weak and soft, but she had a self-improving backbone inside, which also made people feel pity.

No wonder my son likes her!

Her brows and eyes became more and more curved, and she quickly pulled her up to sit up...
