Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 232

She had tasted the pastry mooncakes, although they tasted good, they were very greasy.Even with one, she couldn't finish it.So she thought about making some other flavors and styles, and making some small mooncakes, which would taste more elegant and beautiful.

"You steam the glutinous rice noodles, just like making Linglong cakes, then add the filling of flower paste, and then press it into a mold to try it out. We don't ask for more, but we want exquisite and unique taste." After making it, Lin Baozhu brought up the mooncakes with skin. "You can add some sticky rice flour and flour to make the ice skin look more translucent and not easy to crack."

The women are all the best at developing food in the workshop, and they are also full of joy when they hear that the wife has mentioned a new way of eating.He responded again and again, and sure enough, after several attempts after returning home, a lot of dough and glutinous rice flour were wasted, and finally a mooncake with excellent taste and mellow taste was made.

It is soft and smooth, and it tastes a bit elastic, and the skin is as clear and clean as snow.Not to mention eating it, just looking at it makes you feel exquisite and precious.In addition, according to what Lin Baozhu said, each piece of ice skin mooncake is placed in a special packaging box, and the specification is much stronger than the others in an instant.

"Baozhu, how did you come up with this idea? You can figure out this way of eating?" Zhang Xiuniang held the mooncake and looked left and right. She was so full of rarity that she couldn't bear to eat it.

Seeing Zhang Xiuniang's cautious appearance, Lin Baozhu couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and taste it, Zhaodi and Daya will come back later, I guess we won't be able to taste it properly again."

During this period of time, Da Ya and Zhao Di always ran to the river beach. It was because Lin Baozhu had the courage to let go of the business there to the two daughters.Secondly, it was also because of Gousheng that they figured out the transparent glass, which can shelter from the wind and rain, but it will not cover the sun, which is really beautiful.I heard that in the past two days, a few people got together and muttered together when they were free, as if they wanted to make lampshades for candlesticks.

Lin Baozhu didn't care about them, the business on the left and right was on the right track, and the others were just playing around with a few small ones.It is also because Zhang Ji is not short of money now, so Lin Baozhu naturally pondered the idea of ​​opening a branch directly in the capital. The last time I talked with Wen Shuyan, I happened to meet the eldest son of Qi Wangfu. Standing behind the caravan is the man.

Originally, Prince Qi's son really looked down on Zhang Ji's little business, and the small troubles were not very promising.But he didn't want Chenyue's intervention, and the emperor was overjoyed by the great victory in Mobei, and personally bestowed upon Zhang Ji a tea house for Baijiguan tribute tea.This is an unprecedented thing, no matter how high-sighted, he will have Taoism in his heart.Furthermore, there is still Mr. Mr. Zhao's favor, even if the son of Prince Qi's mansion is murmuring in his heart, he still believes in Mr. Zhao's vision.

More importantly, he is now secretly standing in support of His Royal Highness Prince Rui, and Mr. was once valued by His Highness, but in the end Mr. went to Taoshuwan and became close friends with Lin Baozhu, there must be something he doesn't understand.However, this does not prevent him from being keenly aware that the crown prince's cousin valued more than just a protector of the country.
Therefore, the prince of Qi intends to cooperate with the three parties. He has power, the Wen family has financial resources, and Zhang Ji has something that others do not have.If you really open a shop in the capital, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself.

But later, because Lin Baozhu's body became more and more cumbersome, he was unable to go to Beijing again, so it was delayed.Later, she also asked Shi Dayong if it would be feasible for Zhang Ji to form a caravan by himself.

"Yes, yes, but the risk is too great, and it will take a lot of manpower, material resources and time. I am afraid that the caravan will not make it in three to five years." Shi Dayong frowned. Now, with the addition of hiring some strong-footed coachmen and brave and skilled nurses, this matter may not be impossible."

The last few people discussed it, and finally decided to let Liu Tiechui and the eldest son of Mrs. Lu's family, Liu Jianshan, the dog's leftover father, set up a caravan together.The guards who came to look for work and the people who had passed the darts had to practice a few tricks in the hands of the guards brought back by Lin Baozhu, and finally the guards chose the good and the bad.

Needless to say, it was a real effort after all. The selected caravan guards looked inconspicuous, but they were all solid people.

Since the beginning of the caravan business, Zhang Ji's money has been poured in, from the clothes he wears, to the travel expenses, and the management along the way.It was almost tedious and gave people a headache just looking at it, thanks to Liu Tiechui and Liu Jianshan's careful study, and also afraid of losing the trust of his wife, so he didn't dare to be sloppy along the way.

At the beginning, the Zhang Ji caravan did not dare to go far, but just shuttled between several states and cities, and would return after half a month away from home at most.What moved with them was Zhang Ji, who was more and more sought after by people. In the end, Lin Baozhu not only asked the two to manage the caravan, but even asked the two if they found a suitable shop, they could Make a note of it and come back to discuss it.

Not to mention Zhang Ji's newly formed caravan, which is a little bit stronger than the merchants' team, but the snowy mooncakes at the moment have been robbed directly from Zhang Ji's shop.

Thinking of the nobles in the capital, as well as Princess Chenyue, Lin Baozhu asked someone to prepare a dozen boxes of fully sealed snowskin mooncakes and entrusted the Wen family caravan to take them all the way to the capital.Thanks to the reliability of the document, after a few rounds of operation, it can be regarded as sending out all the things.

And getting a rare item, not to mention Princess Chenyue, even the empress is very interested.Further down is the Crown Princess of the East Palace of His Royal Highness, who also got a box. It looks exquisite and pleasant, and the taste is also very strange. Although it is not as skilled as the royal chef in the imperial dining room, it is better than the ingenuity.

Well done, and considered unique, at the Moon Appreciation Banquet on August [-]th, Princess Chenyue stole the limelight.Naturally, Lin Baozhu and Zhang Ji, the first-rank wife of the merchant's daughter Huguo Gongfu, also fell into the eyes of the nobleman again after a few months.

Lin Baozhu's jaw dropped when he saw the Gousheng few tinkering with glazed cups and even planting five-color peppers.Looking at the exquisite and translucent lampshade covered with dim candlelight and faint rainbow halo, Lin Baozhu seemed to have returned to her previous life.

Now, the whole Zhang Ji is busy again, even Shi Dayong, who is in charge, is busy all day to open a shop in Zhoucheng and Yanjing to discuss business matters.Originally, he could come back every now and then, but since the five-colored peppers and glazed cups were snapped up by big households everywhere, he couldn't spare a day's rest when he came back.

The new shop has to be busy, business needs to be discussed, and some rich and famous wives come here especially, so he has to entertain them attentively, for fear of offending people.There is also shopkeeper Xu, the shopkeeper of the former Anping Tea Shop, which is getting more and more prosperous now, to help, but it didn't cause any trouble.

It wasn't obvious at the beginning, but as it was approaching September, Zhang Xiuniang began to feel uneasy, and she was absent-minded about doing needlework every day.In fact, she heard some gossip a few days ago, saying that her man was making friends with a woman outside. She didn't pay attention to it at the time, until she heard that the woman had a half-old son with her, then she became vigilant.

Although she and Shi Dayong can be regarded as a couple in need, they did not have a son after all.During the hard times in the past, he didn't think about anything else, he was afraid that the life would be better, Shi Dayong regretted it in his heart, and wanted a son to inherit the family business again.

Lin Baozhu also saw the difference in her, and gave some words of comfort, but in the end she also muttered to herself.Why did Shi Dayong always find an excuse to shirk when it was time to come back, but instead just sent the accountant back to pay the bill?And where did Shi Dayong's salary of tens of taels of silver go in those few months?As far as she knew, she did not follow the accountant back home.

It's just that she is about to give birth, so it's inconvenient to intervene in many things, and seeing that bulging belly that looks like the bottom of a pot, Lin Baozhu really can't spare much attention to take care of the Shi family's affairs.

It's October, and it seems that it's time to start, but the child just doesn't move.The doctor and midwife who were invited to the home to check the pulse or feel the baby's pulse also said that the baby was fine, and it was not yet ripe.

Anyway, no matter what to say, even if she was a little anxious, Lin Baozhu felt relieved when she heard that the child was safe and sound.

I wander around every day, and in a blink of an eye it's time to collect the lotus root.Thinking that the weather was getting colder, Lin Baozhu found someone to boil two large pots of ginger soup on the river beach.When she saw that there were still aunts and aunts eager to go down to help, Lin Baozhu hurriedly sent someone to persuade her to come back.

Digging lotus root looks simple, but it is really physical work.Even the old men have to work hard, let alone the women who haven't done much rough work for a long time.

In this season, although there are scattered lotus flowers blooming, most of them are wilted.The lotus leaves are also a little withered, mostly dry.Wang Dakui and the rest of the dog drained most of the water in the lotus pond, cut off the river flowing from the upper reaches, and then immediately started digging lotus roots.

And the rest of the aunts on the side, none of them carried the wooden barrels, and started to catch the big fish that were exposed.This year is the first year that fish and lotus roots are produced. The big guys are rare, fresh and happy, and everyone is very busy.

After three or five days, the lotus root in that lotus pond was dug up. Of course, the lotus root that was just dug out every day during this period, the rest of the lotus root was made into snacks, and it was heard before it was sent to the town and county. All the restaurants that came here were bought out.

And those fish were also bought off a lot because of Lin Baozhu's whole fish feast.It's just that there are many small fish fry in the lotus pond, so after digging the lotus root every day, it has to be put into the water again. The trouble is a bit troublesome, but Wang Dakui and the others are smiling all day long and full of energy.

Lin Baozhu's heart was also hot when he saw the big fellows happily cleaning the lotus root parts and loading them into the truck to take them out.He simply made a decision and asked Qiu Niang to help with the cooking, and let the big guys eat a few tables of noodles in the yard of Zhang's family.Of course, today's table noodles are made of lotus root, which farmers usually don't want to eat and don't eat very much.
