Mingruo raised his shoulders and said seriously: "I am a little miracle doctor. Just like a guard carries a knife when he goes out, I naturally have to carry a medical bag."
"Pfft." Mrs. Su and Concubine Xian both laughed.
"Isn't it right?" Mingruo blinked.
"Yes, yes, everything the little miracle doctor said is right." Concubine Xian said to Ju Xin, "Go and get that multi-treasure necklace. Then you and Ju Yun can find some brightly colored clothing and let Ruo'er wear it. Go back and make some clothes to wear. I am too old to wear bright colors."
"Aunt, you are not old at all, it's just that the color of your clothes is old." Mingruo really couldn't understand why you are so old in your thirties...
"Haha, Ruo'er's little mouth is really good at talking." Concubine Xian said with a smile.
When they came, they were empty-handed. When they returned, both Aunt Dong and Aunt Ji were holding clothes and jewelry. Mingruo didn't want to go to Changchun Palace to compete with Concubine Shen anymore, so she decided to go to the carriage to wait for Si Haochen and Xiao Tuanzi.
When he opened the car curtain, he saw Si Haochen already sitting in the car and Xiao Tuanzi sitting opposite him. In front of them was a half-played chess game.
"Are you so early?" Mingruo was a little curious.
"The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well and needs to rest..." Xiao Tuanzi frowned, "I heard that the Imperial Concubine needs to prepare water for bathing..."
"..." Well, Ming Ruo had forgotten about Concubine Shen drinking a cup of soup with added ingredients. However, bathing was of no use to Concubine Shen.
"This year's Magic Treasure Festival, the princess is going to Chongsheng Temple to make porridge, and I want you to go with her." Si Haochen picked up a chess piece from the chess case and dropped it on the chessboard.
"Can you not go?" Based on the novels and TV shows I have read, it is inferred that going to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings is never good. Besides, as long as you have anything to do with Concubine Shen, you will be greeted with open fire and covert attacks every time. .
"No..." Si Haochen said solemnly, "But I will accompany you."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded. With Si Haochen here, the part of the open gun was taken care of. As for the hidden arrow... I had to be more careful.
After lunch, Mingruo first made some anti-fetal pills for Concubine Xian. Xiaobai jumped on the table and quietly watched Mingruo divide the pills. Mingruo put the divided bottles of pills into a brocade box and put them away. good.
Xiaobai has grown a lot compared to when he first appeared, and is already as big as two adult hands. Mingruo was petting the cat when Zisu came in with Nanxing: "Princess, Master Nanxing is here."
"Master." Nan Xing bowed respectfully.
"Sit down." Mingruo tilted his head and said to Zicao, "Bring some snacks and sweet soup."
Zicao brought the steaming sweet wine with eggs and placed it in front of Nanxing: "Drink a bowl of sweet soup to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, sister." Nan Xing drank half a bowl of sweet soup, "The house has been tidied up, and the master said that there will be a banquet for the new house. But there are only a few of us, so we can all have a meal together. Can master come?"
"When?" Except for the Magic Weapon Festival, I have time.
"the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded, "I'll prepare the food."
"Ah, we have quite a few people now - the master, Brother Wei, Brother Zhuzi on the cabinet, Brother Zhao in the front hall, and ten nursing homes recruited by Brother Wei..."
"Master, don't you worry about the work?" Bai Shen's hotpot restaurant won't open until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so I'll help him develop a takeout project while I'm not busy.
"Of course you can rest assured." Nan Xing felt that the master was much more reliable than the master.
"Zicao, please ask the guard to keep an eye on you. When Mr. Bai comes out of the prince's study, ask him to come to me."
"Okay, the maid will go and tell you now."
"How is Wei Qing's recovery from his injury?" Mingruo asked again.
"It's already healed. Master said that Brother Wei is a martial arts practitioner and has good health and recovers faster than ordinary people." Nan Xing replied.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded.
"Master, I will go back first."
"Go ahead."
Zi Su sent Nan Xing to the door of the house and came back and said: "Doctor Shen asked Master Nan Xing to bring a large basket of chestnuts, saying they were native products sent by fellow villagers. There are so many, how long will it take to eat them?"
"There are many ways to eat chestnuts. You can make osmanthus and chestnut cakes, chestnut cakes, chestnut roasted chicken nuggets, chestnut porridge..." Mingruo counted a bunch of delicacies made with chestnuts.
When Zicao heard about the new dishes, her eyes lit up: "Princess, let's make chestnut cake and chestnut roasted chicken today!"
"Okay, let me tell you how to make chestnut cake first."
Just as Mingruo told Zicao how to make chestnut cake, Bai Shen arrived.
"Princess, I'm looking for you." Yunzhuanglou earns a lot of money every day. When Bai Shen sees the princess, it's like seeing a gold mine.
"I invited people to have hot pot. The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, you send someone to deliver hot pot ingredients for twenty people to a medicine hall, including the bottom of the pot, pots, saucers, and charcoal." Ming Ruo thought for a moment and said, "
If you want a small pot for one person, it’s best to have two guys.”
"Princess, why does this food delivery come with so many things?" Bai Shen was a little confused.
"Because there are no utensils for eating hot pot there." Ming Ruo smiled and said to Bai Shen, "In the future, hot pot restaurants can also provide customers with this door-to-door service, which is called take-out."
"This is a great idea. Everyone likes to treat guests to dinner during the Chinese New Year, but most of them are at home. We do takeout, which will definitely be popular." Bai Shen became more and more sure that the princess was a gold mine.
"Even if there is a trial opening for takeout the day after tomorrow, you can still analyze the operability." Mingruo changed the subject, "Master Bai should have seen the distillation equipment I asked Craftsman Lu to make, right?"
"I've seen it." Bai Shen nodded, "It's just that this alcohol is not very useful. It's okay to make a small workshop. There is no need to make it bigger."
"Alcohol has many uses. In addition to making perfume, it can also be used to sterilize medical equipment, which is better than using fire. The distillation equipment can not only distill alcohol, but also distill spirits." Ming Ruo showed a mysterious smile, "
The bitter cold in the northwest..."
"Really? This is a way to make money." Bai Shen immediately became energetic. There are not many wineries in Donghuan that can brew spirits, and the people in the northwest are fierce and like to drink spirits, so the supply of spirits exceeds the demand.
"Have I lied to you?" Mingruo rolled his eyes.
"No." Bai Shen said immediately, "If we can distill strong liquor, then we can turn it into a distillery. It will mainly sell liquor and also take care of the demand for alcohol from the rouge workshop."
"I think so too." In fact, what Bai Shen said before was correct. In ancient times, the demand for alcohol was not great. Unless there was a war, it was used as military supplies together with medicinal materials. It is indeed not cost-effective to only produce alcohol.
"I'll leave this matter to you. I'm going to discuss it with Lu Qiaojiang." Bai Shen left in a hurry.
Looking at Bai Shen's eagerness to make money, he knew how expensive it would be to raise an army. Ming Ruo sighed and wondered if Si Haochen had found any coal mines in the northwest.
