Chapter 357 Mr. Hai is here again

I made the puffs at once, and the taste was still familiar, but the overall heat was a little too much. After all, I used to use an oven to bake it, and the thing was plugged in, and the temperature of the upper and lower fires could be adjusted to be evenly heated.

This is baked in the stove. Although the fire can be adjusted, it is not as accurate as the electricity control.

But even so, Lu Ke seemed to have found the feeling of childhood, not the taste of childhood, but the surprise and happiness when he was a child when he ate pastries he had never eaten before.

The two of them ate only one puff one by one, but Lu Ke picked up the last puff curiously.

"The outer layer of skin seems to be made of flour, but this shape... you should be made of molds." Lu Ke asked.

"Yes, I made some molds when I was fine some time ago." Chen Nian nodded.

"But the filling inside is amazing. It is made of milk if you can eat it. But the taste seems to be sweeter than milk. You should have added sugar, but how did you make it so that the milk becomes like this?"

This involves the secret of cream.

However, there is no need to hide his cousin Chen Nian. This can be said to be the closest person he is in the capital. Although they have only known each other for a few months now, Chen Nian accepted this blood relationship due to the long time of setting.

So he completely treated Lu Ke as a family.

Then he explained the way to make the cream in this way.

"It's so magical. I still can't imagine that milk will become like this."

Chen Nian smiled: "Actually, this is nothing. The main thing is to stir the air into it, and then he will become fluffy like he is now."

"What is air?" Lu Ke asked again.

The old people were stunned. This question was a bit difficult to explain. If you want to explain what air is, you have to explain the various gases contained in the air.

Then I have to talk about why people need to breathe, but this alone is probably not enough. After all, what is oxygen? How does oxygen come from? There are also various circulations of nature... Even if you don't go deeper, just talk about it in a simple way, it will take a lot of effort.

To the extent of Daxia, this kind of thing is probably hundreds of years earlier.

If no one listens to it, no one cares. It would be fine if it's just a joke, but if someone is serious, he might be arrested.

"Air, I can't say this very accurately. It's like blowing into a sheep urine bubble. When the air blows, the sheep urine bubble will swell, so the same is true for milk. As for the name air, I just said it casually." Chen Nian said.

After hearing this, Lu Ke did not continue to study it in depth, because this kind of thing is invisible and intangible, but like the wind, it does exist, so the old age is a little more concrete, and it is enough for Lu Ke to have a rough impression in his heart.

Although it is still a bit plausible, Lu Ke has already understood the meaning. Anyway, as long as he does this, he will definitely be able to make cream.

"By the way, sister, I'm going to turn around and put another tool specifically for whipping cream, otherwise I might be exhausted when I beat it with my hands every day." Chen Nian almost broke his hands just by getting the cream.

However, it is still possible to make a tool like a fire bow that makes fire by drilling wood.

And this thing is exactly what I can do.

After asking my sister to eat the last piece of puff into her stomach, Chen Nian clapped her hands with satisfaction, intending to try to make this tool at noon and evening for the next period of time.

Moreover, this can be separated from the time of sour plum soup. You can make this semi-automatic egg beater by boiling sour plum soup.

...

It was on this day that Fu Xin went to court. After the court meeting, Fu Xin returned to the yamen, but as soon as he sat down and was about to start work, someone came in outside and said that the Prime Minister had something to do with him.

Fu Xin stood up and headed towards the Prime Minister.

When he arrived, he was led into a room. As soon as he came in, he found that in addition to the Prime Minister, Prince Jing, Li Zhao, was also there, and he also knew the reason why these two people came to him.

Because in the morning, Fu Xin said quietly that he had important matters to discuss, and the recent important matters between them were about aristocratic families and nobles.

"Fu Xin has met Lord Yang and Prince Jing." Fu Xin saluted.

"No need to be polite, come and sit down." Li Zhao waved his hand and greeted, "You said before, do you have any solutions? I wonder what it is?"

Fu Xin looked at his teacher Yang Gongfu and saw that the teacher was still sitting there steadily. Although he was also exploring, he did not speak. He was obviously waiting for him to talk first.

"In the past, the names of the imperial examinations were made public. In this way, all examiners could see the names of candidates. This is also the advantage of those aristocratic families following the rules. In the court, there are few people who fight alone, and no matter how they are, they will have some selfishness. But if the name is kept absent, their advantages will be greatly reduced. In this way, whether it is a poor family or aristocratic family, there will be relatively fairness in this link, at least the talented people will not be valued due to their background."

As soon as Fu Xin said this proposal, the two of them suddenly had a lit up, especially Yang Gongfu, with appreciation on his face: "Yes, this is indeed the best way at the moment, but if you do this, the resistance may be very great, and it is best to accompany other decrees. Anyway, you have to offend them, so it is better to do it directly."

Li Zhao looked at Yang Gongfu deeply. He knew that the Prime Minister of Daxia around him was also born in a poor family, and his career was much more difficult than Fu Xin. He was blocked by aristocratic families and nobles all the way, but it was recognized by the late emperor.

He can still sit at his current position and have seen too many privileges from aristocratic families in Daxia. This kind of development is undoubtedly very unhealthy, so he wants to break this situation.

But there was no breakthrough before. Finally, this year, Fu Xin came here with a similar experience as him. After passing the exam, Fu Xin did not marry other aristocratic families at all. Instead, he brought his wife from his hometown, which made him appreciate it even more.

"Mr. Fu's method is wonderful. In this way, those aristocratic families can only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and they may launch counterattacks in other aspects, but it doesn't matter. At least Your Majesty is on our side." Li Zhao said clearly.

Fu Xin came over to make this suggestion. Yang Gongfu and Li Zhao felt that the plan was feasible, so they chatted in the room for a long time about missing the imperial examinations in the future.

However, the provincial examinations that passed the imperial examinations once every three years, and only once every five years will be held. There is still some time before the next one. During this period, they still need to issue some decrees to restrict the noble families and the noble groups.

Chen Nian also said this last night that we should not be too hasty to deal with aristocratic families. Unless someone rebels, they naturally have no scruples.

Gu Wan

But there is no example for Chen Nian. Because there seems to be no Huang Chao in this world, Fu Xin may not be very clear about Huang Chao's killing of those aristocratic families, and the blood flowing into a river.

And if you can't write this kind of history, you won't make it well.

So Chen Nian just clicked to the point. Now Fu Xin has just talked about the current plan and needs to be implemented in detail, but it is actually rare to say this.

Now in Fu Xin's heart, Chen Nian's image has been raised again, and he also feels a little guilty. After all, these plans were not what he thought of. Now he has received praise from Prince Jing and his teacher that he should not belong to him, but for Chen Nian's safety, he cannot say that these are Chen Nian's suggestions.

However, in the subsequent discussion, Fu Xin still said something that Chen Nian told him yesterday, which won the two of them looking at each other.

...

Chen Nian didn't care about national affairs. The reason why he told Fu Xin that he also had some bragging mentality after drinking was that Fu Xin would not betray him anyway.

Compared with the struggle between poor families and secular people in the Daxia Dynasty, Chen Nian was more concerned about his sour plum soup.

The ingredients have been determined before, but now the time is needed to be adjusted.

However, after a series of previous attempts, Chen Nian found that if the cooking time is just a matter of course, it would be very suitable to follow the original plan, and there was no big improvement in the changes and adjustments.

Therefore, he was also in a deadlock.

It happened that afternoon that Mr. Hai Ming and Xianhai came to buy snacks again. The former man named Qian was humiliated by Chen Nian at the poetry meeting. He originally planned to find two thugs to come and make trouble. He smashed the signboard here and did not affect him afterwards.

But who would have thought that the gangster happened to hit Chang'an Ling without opening his eyes on the day he came. After this, the two gangsters were taken directly to the Chang'an Mansion. Without even serious interrogation, they both took the matter to the two of them.

The Chang'an Order knew who was making trouble behind him, but after all, everyone was an official in the same court. Although the other party's official position was not as high as his own, there was no need for him to hold him accountable. He just asked someone to pass on a letter that day and beat him up.

Later, the man named Qian did not dare to cause trouble for Chen Nian again, because he later found out that Chen Nian had a close relationship with Fu Xin, the top scorer of the imperial examination last year, and Fu Xin was a student of the prime minister of the current dynasty. This relationship was tangled, and in the end he had thought that he could not afford to offend him.

Fu Xin was angry about this incident and beat him up for nothing, so he could only endure it.

Later, Mr. Hai was looking for friends to have dinner or something, and never called him again.

However, the reason why Hai Mingxian came to buy snacks this time was different from before. She had basically eaten with friends before, but this time it was his grandfather who was going to celebrate his birthday, so he needed some snacks at the birthday party. At that time, His Majesty would definitely give some gifts from the palace, but the amount was not necessarily enough. Therefore, Hai Mingxian took the initiative to recruit this task on himself.

His father was the Minister of Rites, and although his grandfather has retired now, he was also the Minister of Revenue before he retired. However, he later retired and now has a good reputation outside.

Many people in the court have also been supported by his grandfather.

So at that time, the birthday party will definitely be held in large quantities, and this large quantities require a lot of snacks.

"Shopkeeper Lu, this time I want to buy more snacks. My grandfather is about to celebrate his birthday. It will take half a month later. At that time, I will have a lot of snacks in the store. I wonder if Storekeeper Lu will take on this business." After Hai Mingxian came, he did not directly say that the dim sum you have on your side will be ten kilograms and will be delivered to our mansion in half a month.

Because that's too stupid, it's still the same thing if you ask others to do it like this. And if the snacks are made a little rougher under the work, then those who come will be princes and ministers of the court.

That shameful thing is the face of the entire Hai family.

After Lu Ke heard that the other party wanted so much snack, he couldn't help but be stunned.

There are dozens of dim sums in Lu Wanxing’s dim sum shop. If each of them is ten kilograms, it will cost hundreds of kilograms.

However, if you really do it, you can make it. Anyway, some snacks can be put in there, and it won’t be much difference when you make it in the morning and put it in the evening.

Just stagger the time.

So Lu Ke nodded: "Yes."

Hai Mingxian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Since that's the case, I'll leave it to Manager Lu, but I have to trouble Manager Lu to calculate the number. I'll be happy tomorrow to send the deposit."

At this time, Chen Nian, who was standing by, heard that the other party wanted to hold a birthday party, felt a little thoughtful in his heart. Half a month should be enough to perfect the craftsmanship of Puffs, and then Puffs and Qianguocake will definitely become the most eye-catching ones.

On this occasion, Haifu decided to use the dim sum shop from Lu Wanxing, which was also a very good publicity, but it still felt a little too old.

"Mr. Hai, you have often visited our shop during this period. Now that Mr. Hai is on his birthday, our snack shop also wants to express some feelings. I wonder if Mr. Hai has free time to come here in the past few days."

When Mr. Hai heard this, he looked happy and thought that it would be no waste for him to run here some time ago!

This old man has indeed recognized himself and is now giving gifts.

Although he didn't think Chen Nian could give him any good gifts, at least this action was a very good signal.

At that time, I just need to take the gift back. Anyway, so many people have given gifts, it doesn’t matter whether my grandfather can see it or not.

"If you have time, you may have to be a little busy these days, and you will be able to get free after the afternoon."

"Okay." Chen Nian nodded: "Why don't Mr. Hai come again tomorrow afternoon and take a look at the gift I want to give to Mr. Hai."

When Hai Mingxian heard this, he felt that Chen Nian might be too cautious. He was worried that the gift he gave was not enough and he was disliked?

But what Chen Nian thought was that he wanted to celebrate Mr. Hai's birthday this time, take out a heavy gift, and play a very important role at Mr. Hai's birthday party.
