Mrs. Wan quickly vacated the shop, and Tian Minyan began to work on the shop. When Tian Huairen and others went out, Tian Minyan felt that the lack of manpower was deeply insufficient. She had to take care of all the movements.
Baimei does everything herself.
At this time, as a woman, especially a girl whose hair has not yet fully grown, she often cannot let go of her hands and feet when doing things. Those people either see her as a girl who wants to deceive, or they are disdainful.
This made Tian Minyan very excited, and she once again had the idea to quickly train a few of her right-hand assistants.
Fortunately, Qin Haitang knew about her situation and lent two men to help her handle the matter. Otherwise, she would really have to go out of her way to negotiate with those grown men.
Since the new shop is used as a sales department for MSG, there is not much attention paid to the decoration. The shop is only repainted. However, it only sells a single seasoning like MSG, which seems too simple, so Tian Minyan went to order two.
A shelf to sell some additional groceries.
Ten days passed in a hurry, and Tian Huairen and the others still haven't turned around. Luo Shi talked about it every day, with some worries in his words. Although Tian Minyan was comforted, she was not relaxed inside. After all, it was the first time for them to go out so far to do business, and
I don't know if things are going well.
The second batch of kelp has been completely produced into MSG. Together with the first batch, there are more than 100 kilograms of MSG. Although it costs more kelp, it is still cheap, and this MSG cannot be used as salt. It only takes several
The pellets can serve as seasoning, so Tian Minyan is already very happy.
Tian Minyan has been setting prices and writing plans for the opening these days.
Rare things are more valuable, so the price of MSG must not be lowered. If the price is too high, it will not be acceptable to ordinary people, so Tian Minyan decided to focus on promoting it to those who are either rich or expensive.
The first step in promoting MSG has actually started long ago. On the first floor, Tian Minyan received a letter from Shopkeeper Feng. Many people had already expressed their intention to buy MSG.
But Tian Minyan didn't just set her sights on the market in Qingping or even Qingzhou. Let me ask, where the most noble people are? It must be Kyoto.
So when Tian Minyan made the first batch of MSG, she had already sent two kilograms of MSG to Liuye's and told her her intention. If Liuye was willing, she could also become an agent to earn the difference. As for Liuye's
Is there any news over there? I believe it will arrive in the next two days.
There were two flowers on the table. Liuye did receive the MSG sent by Tian Minyan. She tried using the seasoning to make dishes using the method she introduced. The taste was really much more delicious than not adding any MSG, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Tian Minyan's letter also introduced the agent's intention. Liu Ye thought for a while and then sent an invitation post to invite many of his colleagues to come and get together since he had been away from Beijing for a long time.
Liu Ye's popularity is very good. As soon as the invitation came out, many people came to visit. Liu Ye held a sumptuous banquet, all using MSG as seasoning. The ladies tasted the Liu family's food and asked the Liu family's invitation.
Who knows who the cook is, the food tastes so good and delicious.
Liuye hurriedly explained with a smile, saying that it was not the chef's fault, but a seasoning called monosodium glutamate was added to the dishes, so they were so delicious, which attracted the ladies in charge of imperial orders to ask where this thing was.
Do you want to buy it? This is exactly what Mr. Liuye wants. It is said to be an exclusive product of a farmer he recognizes in a small town. It will also be sold in his own shop in the future, but the price is higher. But who of you here cares about money?
Orders were placed one after another.
The news spread to the palace. Today, I have been very worried about the foreign affairs in the Western Regions. I can't even work up my appetite. When the father-in-law of the imperial kitchen heard that the Liu family had obtained good condiments, he came to the door and insisted on asking for it.
Willow took away some MSG.
"If you dare to leave Kyoto this time, watch your legs carefully. You have been in the Western Regions for many days. I will leave this envoy to you."
In the royal study room with carved beams and painted walls, a bearded man of about forty or fifty years old, dressed in bright yellow, sat behind the desk. His hair was pinned with a gold crown, his square face was calm and powerful, and he exuded majesty and inviolability.
The nobility is exactly what the current emperor Hongjing Emperor Qikang is.
But this legendary cold and domineering emperor looked at the young man sitting crookedly under his head with a hateful but helpless expression, and said: "You have broken bones, so you can't sit properly.
What does it look like to the palace people?"
Qi Qi was playing with a plum blossom necklace in his hand. When he heard this, he glanced sideways at the emperor and said, "With you here, brother emperor, who dares to make irresponsible remarks if he doesn't care about his life? That's the birthday man who hanged himself because he thought his life was too long."
"You." Qi Kang shook his head, and thought of another thing, and said: "Seventeen, you are already twenty this year, and it's time to find someone to take care of your daily life. The emperor brother has been running around all year round.
I don’t want to see you a few times. Once we get married, we will be more settled. You can stay in Kyoto from now on."
Qi Qi paused after hearing the movements on his hands, and said casually: "It's still early, there's no rush."
"Next year, when choosing a concubine for the crown prince, there will be many beautiful girls of the right age. Your sister-in-law has said that she will choose one for you first. You can also take a look and decide if there is anyone you like."
Hold on to him first? The corner of Qi Qi's mouth turned cold, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. When he looked at Qi Kang, he already looked lazy as usual, and said: "Brother, I still want to travel all over the country, but I don't want to find him."
I'm stuck, concubine, let's talk about it in a few years."
"How many more years? You are already twenty." Qi Kang was very unhappy. Looking at his handsome face, a face flashed in his mind. That person had been dead for almost twenty years.
"I have a sense of propriety. Brother, you know my temper. Don't sneak one into my house secretly. You know I don't like to see those warbling birds. Otherwise, I really don't know what I will do."
." Qi Qi waved his hand and said.
Qi Kang sighed and wanted to say something, but the eunuch mentioned that it was time for lunch and asked him if he wanted to pass on the meal.
The palace maids set the tables one by one, and dozens of dishes were brought up by the little eunuchs. Qi Kang invited Qi Shiqi to sit down, and looked at the dishes on the table: "That's all, it doesn't arouse any appetite."
, and reduce some examples.”
"Your Majesty, this has been reduced to the minimum. The ancestral rules cannot be ignored. Moreover, Eunuch Liu said that today's soup is different from the past. Please try it." The eunuch Zhang Gonggong used a silver needle to detect the poison, and then used a small bowl to
I spooned a bowl of soup and brought it to him.
Qi Kang looked at it and said, "If it's not just Cordyceps Lean Pork Water, what else could be different?" He took a sip and was a little surprised: "Eh..."
Qi Shiqi looked at him, picked up the three cups of duck nearby, took a bite, and was stunned. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, wait a minute." He looked at Eunuch Liu and asked in a deep voice, "These
What did you put in the dish?"
He doesn't come back to the palace often, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't recognize the taste of the food in the imperial kitchen. The taste today is obviously different than before, so he can't be careless.
Qi Kang was stunned, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and stared at Eunuch Liu with sharp eyes.
Eunuch Liu was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground. He cursed the Liu family in his heart. He told the story about the MSG in a trembling voice, and then kowtowed: "Your Majesty, an hour ago, I personally tasted it and there was nothing wrong with it before I dared to serve it."
It came up." This means that this MSG is not poisonous to the human body.
"Seventeen..." Qi Kang looked at Qi Qi.
Qi Qi then cleared away the gloom on his face and said, "But what about Liu Fuyin's wife? Can she tell where this MSG comes from?"
"I heard that it's a small town in Qingzhou, called Taiping Town. Mrs. Liu said that only this family can make this MSG. What's that family's name..." Eunuch Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was confused.
I can’t remember what Mrs. Liu said.
"But your surname is Tian?"
"Yes, your lord, your surname is indeed Tian." Eunuch Liu nodded hurriedly as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Qi Shiqi's face turned dark at this time, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "For the emperor brother's food, you are very interested. I will serve you in a while. Go down and receive the reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank the Emperor for the reward." Eunuch Liu knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.
"Why, Qi Qi still knows this Tian family?" Qi Kang looked at Qi Qi jokingly, tasted another mouthful of soup, and ate a few more bites of vegetables. While chewing, he said, "What kind of MSG is used in this dish?
The taste is indeed much fresher and sweeter. Well, not bad, let’s have another bowl of soup.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu was overjoyed.
"The Tian family is just a small family, but that little girl is interesting." Qi Shiqi chewed slowly, thinking that this girl had made something good again.
He also thought that the autumn harvest was already here, and he didn't know what was going on with the girl's rice fields and fish farming, so he asked Qi Kang if he had any information about Qingping County.
"Well, Qingping County." Qi Kang remembered that there seemed to be one. Seeing that it was not a secret book, he asked Eunuch Zhang to get it and read it.
When the father-in-law opened the booklet about that chapter, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw it. Then he couldn't believe it and hurriedly read it out.
"What? Double it?" Qi Kang was stunned when he heard this. He quickly grabbed the booklet and took a look. There is such a novel way to raise fish in rice fields?
"So, that girl really succeeded." A smile of relief appeared on Qi Shiqi's lips.
"Seventeen, do you know about fish farming in rice fields? Tell me what it's like." Qi Kang was very excited, his eyes burning.
Seeing him like this, Qi Shiqi knew that he wouldn't be able to eat lunch for a while, so he explained clearly to Tian Minyan the functions of raising fish in rice fields.
"Okay, okay, I deserve to be rewarded for the blessings of the Southern Dynasty." Qi Kang heard Long Yan's great joy and said repeatedly to Eunuch Zhang.
Qi Shiqi smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself, if those potatoes were grown, I'm afraid it would also be a credit.
He missed that cunning little girl a little.
Naturally, Tian Minyan didn't know much about these things in Kyoto. Because of this, when joy came, their family was even more happy and satisfied.
