Chapter 281 Making sugar and making milk tea

Mrs. Zhongshu Linghe personally did a big thing: turning brown sugar into white sugar.

The two experimented for several days, constantly adjusting the proportion of yellow mud and improving every detail, and finally made white and crystal clear sugar.

"This is white sugar? Haha, this is white sugar!" Mrs. Feng was as excited as a child.

Zhongshu Ling was also very excited. His lips trembled for a long time before he uttered a sentence with force: "The advent of this white sugar will cause another round of major changes."

Mrs. Feng smiled from ear to ear: "Don't talk at home like you were in the previous court. It doesn't matter whether it changes or not. Let's do what we want to do first. Girl Chen really knows a lot."

"She does have many extraordinary qualities." Zhong Shuling stroked his beard.

Mrs. Feng suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice: "How did this person from outside the world come? It seems like that today."

"I can't think clearly at this moment. Let's just focus on the present first."

"Yes, yes, I'm busy right now. I just want to try it now and see what the difference is between using brown sugar and white sugar to make food."

Zhongshu Ling held her shoulders: "Madam, don't be anxious, let's first think about how to carry out the sugar project."

Mrs. Feng calmed down for a moment: "Brown sugar is boiled from sugar cane, and it is basically made from the south of the Yangtze River. In the north, maltose is still the main sugar."

Zhongshu Ling smiled: "If you want to make large amounts of white sugar, the first issue is the raw materials. There is a big difference between freshly boiled brown sugar and brown sugar shipped from afar."

"I'll find someone to plant more sugar cane in the future." Mrs. Feng stood up and said, "I don't care about that. I just want to make caramel and try milk tea now."

"We still need milk." Zhong Shuling reminded her.

"There is milk. It's ready in the kitchen." They entered the kitchen in the main courtyard and waved away all the other people.

The maids and cooks all speculated: What delicious food does the master and his wife want to make? Is it so mysterious?

Mrs. Feng looked around here and there. Zhong Shuling laughed when she saw it: "Madam, you are still not familiar with the kitchen."

Mrs. Feng smiled angrily: "I just want to understand more clearly. Husband, please hurry up and light a fire."

The dignified secretary ordered the lord to roll up his sleeves and light a fire for his wife.

Mrs. Feng put the black tea into a small pot, added water, boiled it, then poured the tea into the pot, then poured the milk into the pot and boiled it.

She confidently began to fry the sugar until it turned into caramel color, added milk and tea, cooked it together, and poured it into a large soup basin.

The aroma spread outside the kitchen, where the maids and cooks took deep breaths.

"It smells so good and has a sweet taste."

"The master and his wife are so loving."

Mrs. Feng also tried a pot of brown sugar, boiling brown sugar, black tea and milk according to the method.

The two of them walked out of the kitchen carrying two large basins and ordered the maids to invite the young master and young lady to the main courtyard.

Feng Feng and Feng Chang both came. As soon as Lin Fuyu entered the door, he smiled and asked, "What delicious food did mom and dad cook? We can smell the fragrance outside the yard."

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Mrs. Feng picked up a spoon and started serving milk tea, and her two daughters-in-law quickly took over.

"There's the fragrance of tea," Feng Yu said, taking a sip, "and milk?"

"Sweet but not too sweet." Feng Chang commented.

Mrs. Feng glared at her youngest son: "Is it just not sour? Is it bitter? Is it astringent?"

My son and daughter-in-law were all shaking their heads.

"It's mellow and silky, without the fishy smell of milk, and the bitterness of tea makes the taste richer." Xie Chenyun praised.

Mrs. Feng felt a little proud: "Can this business be done?"

"Of course you can, but the cost is too high. Sugar is expensive, milk is expensive, and tea is expensive." As soon as Feng Chang finished speaking, Mrs. Feng glared at her again: "Why are you talking like a child?"

Feng Feng touched his nose and laughed twice.

"Who does mother plan to give this business to?" Feng Yu asked the key point.

Mrs. Feng smiled mysteriously.

It has only been a few days since the craze for egg yolk cakes started, but Zheng's snowskin mooncakes have caused a sensation again. Everyone looked at the jade-like mooncakes and felt filled with joy just by holding them in their hands. Three small mooncakes

Put it in a box, and the price is the same as Wang's egg yolk cakes, five guan.

"Is there a purchase limit for this snowskin mooncake?" Some people's focus is very strange.

Shopkeeper Zheng replied with a smile: "My mooncakes have twelve flavors, and the purchase limit is twenty for each flavor."

"It's twenty again, are you at odds with the Wang family? They sell egg yolk cakes, while yours sells snow-skin mooncakes. Even the purchase restrictions are the same."

Shopkeeper Zheng still smiled and said: "It's still different. My family has twelve flavors, and Wang's egg yolk cake is just one kind."

Someone calculated that they could sell 240 or 80 boxes every day, and they could still get in line. So many people started queuing up.

The snow-skin mooncakes tasted so good that the Zheng family's popularity suddenly overtook the Wang family's.

Not long after, two more stores attracted everyone's attention.

One is "Xunxiang Milk Tea", which makes the ladies in the capital want it as soon as they drink it; the other is "cupcakes", which makes all the ladies think that they will gain weight if they eat too much, but at the same time they can't help but buy one or two boxes.

Milk tea and cakes also became popular in the palace, and the imperial kitchen was extremely busy every day.

The emperor pointed to the two boxes of egg yolk cakes in front of him and asked Zhongshu Ling: "How many days do I have to wait before I want to eat egg yolk cakes?"

Zhongshu Ling Ma Liu presented a booklet: "This is how to make egg yolk cake."

The emperor would never open a shop to compete with him for business.

The emperor took a sip of milk tea and said, "This is your eldest daughter's business." Then he took a bite of cake and said, "This is your second daughter's business. Haven't you made enough money? Now it has aroused the appetite of the whole capital."

"Women can only do things like open shops and make money. It's a good thing that they care about food and clothing. It shows that our country is peaceful and the people are safe."

The emperor's face was expressionless: "The Zheng family's snow-skin mooncakes are probably also your family's recipe, right?"

Of course Zhongshu Ling denied it.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and the foundation laying ceremony of the new house in Changping Township was held grandly. Almost all the villagers came, and people working nearby also came to watch the excitement. Even though the crowds were scattered at various construction sites, there were many people gathered everywhere.

Each child in the Xiangjun Mansion was responsible for a construction site and put on three animal sacrifices. Firecrackers sounded, the stewards said auspicious words, and the children dug up the first shovel of soil.

After the ceremony, foundation digging began at three construction sites: the village next to Shareidi, the village west of Kaiyun Village, and the shop near Qijiadu.
