Mingruo came back early today to make a fresh dessert. He first went back to the dormitory and changed into ordinary clothes. He picked up a small bag of sage seeds, then rolled up his arms and sleeves and entered the kitchen.
"Princess, these are the pickled peach blossoms a few days ago, and this is the osmanthus sauce made last year." Lithospermum placed two small porcelain jars in front of Mingruo.
First, wrap the pomegranate seeds in a layer of gauze and wash them little by little in water to remove the gum. Put them into pumpkin-shaped teacups. Some add a spoonful of osmanthus jam, some add whole candied peach blossoms, etc.
They slowly solidify, and the ice powder version of 'Shui Xinxuan Cake' is ready.
The best match for hand-kneaded ice powder must be the fragrant and sweet brown syrup. Mingruo also instructed Lithospermum to brew the thick syrup with a copper pot.
"Princess, is this the scented tea drink you made?" The ice powder has not solidified yet and looks like a liquid.
"This is called Glaze Flower Cake. Wait two hours and they will solidify." Ming Ruo planned to sell this little dessert at Jian Mingxuan at a high price, so he had to find a 'noble' name to match it.
, "You can put two cups in an amethyst lotus cup and freeze it. It will solidify faster, but the taste will not be as good as if it is solidified at room temperature."
"Then slaves should wait patiently." Zicao shook her head repeatedly. These glazed flower cakes are all made by the princess herself, so the taste cannot be ruined.
"When I made it just now, I told you the quantities of ingredients. You can try making it. No problem, you can ask Jian Mingxuan's dessert chef to learn it tomorrow." Mingruo thought for a moment and then said, "You can try adding some more
Add dried and fresh fruits to create different flavors."
"Okay, okay." Zicao geared up and decided to show off her skills.
Mingruo left the kitchen and went to her alchemy.
Zi Su came in with a pot of sherbet: "You have been busy since you called me. Take a break and drink some sherbet."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded, "Go and see if Mr. Bai is in the mansion. If he is, ask him to come over."
"Yes." Zisu poured a glass of sherbet for the princess and left as ordered.
While Bai Shen was waiting, Mingruo took down a dozen small wooden boxes from the shelf, then put two pills of 'sleeping pills' from the medical system into the small wooden boxes and sealed them with wax. These are the eight items she prepared for
The princess prepared the 'calming pills'. If the eighth princess can sleep well tonight, she will definitely come and buy it.
However, how much should I sell her for? Well, one hundred taels of silver per box should not be expensive for the wealthy eighth princess... It is too cheap and not worthy of her status as a princess!
"Princess." Bai Shen came quickly.
Mingruo placed 1.5 million taels of silver notes in front of Bai Shen, and then gave him a list of medicinal materials for making antipyretic pills, anti-inflammatory pills, and hemostasis powder: "You first buy the medicinal materials according to the list, and the remaining silver
, all bought 'Luocheng Shou Noodles'.
"Here, the rest are all sold for longevity noodles... Isn't that too much?" Although Bai Shen doesn't know much about medicinal materials, there are nothing particularly expensive on the list. Three to five million taels of silver can be enough.
I bought it, but the longevity noodles cost more than one million taels. Does the princess know how much they cost?
"It shouldn't be much..." Mingruo thought for a moment, "If a war really breaks out, grain merchants will definitely drive up the price of grain. Let's save more for emergencies. Besides, this longevity noodles are easy to cook.
Time is tight during wartime, so it should be very practical."
"Ah... Princess, are you... preparing military supplies for the army?" Bai Shen was surprised.
"What else? Should I buy so many longevity noodles and eat them myself?" She got all the money from the Eighth Princess, and she always felt uncomfortable in her hands. She might as well use it on the soldiers guarding the border as a good deed.
.
The princess was so generous. She took out 1.5 million taels of silver in one go. This was even more generous than Emperor Danxu. She was worthy of being their princess...
Bai Shen was so happy. Why didn't he think of stocking up some longevity noodles? He was running around to buy food every day, but he couldn't collect it. Although this longevity noodles are more expensive, they are more convenient. Moreover, they go to the battlefield during the war.
Soldiers all eat fine grains and one meal of meat every day. If they don't eat well, how can they have the strength to fight?
"My subordinate understands." Bai Shen thought about buying longevity noodles as soon as possible, "Princess, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more for now, go and do your work."
"My subordinates excuse themselves." Bai Shen bowed and left with a thick stack of banknotes.
When I met the prince in the courtyard, I showed him the banknote very politely. Of course, he also praised the princess for her "deep understanding of justice" and "far-sightedness". One and a half million silver, I must give this favor to the princess.
Brush on.
Si Haochen told him to transport the collected supplies directly to the northwest. Then, he went to the refining pharmacy.
"My bamboo horse came back so early today." Mingruo sealed the last box of 'Anshen Pills'.
"My childhood friend spent so much money to buy military supplies, I was so touched." Si Haochen picked up Mingruo, sat on the chair she was sitting on before, and put her on his lap.
"Don't be too moved, it's all the money I got from you." Ming Ruo made a face at Si Haochen.
"Well done." Si Haochen praised sincerely.
"Um..." If I were a child, I would have to be raised crooked by Si Haochen, "By the way, I made the beautiful snacks I promised you during the peach blossom banquet today, and you can eat them for dinner."
"Then I will try it with my heart." Si Haochen rested his chin on Mingruo's shoulder, "I have been very busy recently. I haven't been on a mountain tour with my concubine for a while. Can I take you out for fun tomorrow?"
"I'm sorry, I already have a date with a beautiful lady. Please come early next time."
"Who are you dating?" Or is it a beauty? The jealousy in Prince Yun's heart was instantly overturned.
"What a great beauty." Mingruo said with a smile, "Princess Ningping is coming tomorrow and I sent a greeting card in the morning. I think she is quite nice."
Si Haochen nodded, "She should be someone who saves trouble." His little princess didn't have many friends in Donghuan, so it would be nice to make one or two to play with her.
"I'm going to feed the deer, do you want to go?" Mingruo jumped down from Si Haochen's lap.
"Yes." Si Haochen took Mingruo's hand and they walked side by side to the plum grove in the back garden.
Today's plum forest is a bit like a zoo. During the day, deer, white cranes, and peacocks wander among the woods, and at night they lead them back to their pens. Mingruo originally wanted to bring Dahong and Dabai together to raise them, but Dahong is too good.
Zhan, Dabai was too cowardly. When they came, there was a lot of confusion in the forest, so he had to be sent back to the Bamboo Garden to be raised.
Mingruo used biscuits to lure the deer over, and started stroking it in various ways. Suddenly an idea flashed: "If you are a scout in the army and go out to find out information, you will need to bring dry food, right?"
"Yeah." Si Haochen didn't understand why the little girl suddenly asked this.
"You can make some biscuits for them." Mingruo picked up a piece of whole grain biscuits, "The biscuits can be stored for a long time and are easy to carry around. Adding more nuts and sugar can provide enough energy."
