"Are you... also making a blind box?" Si Haochen remembered that Mingruo had painted a set of porcelain dolls with twelve flowers and letters, which were sold in wooden boxes and were called 'blind boxes'.
Si Haochen felt that this 'blind box' was like 'betting' on luck, and it could capture people's unwillingness to admit defeat.
"Yes." Mingruo nodded, "Master Bai wrote in a letter saying that the milk tea is selling particularly well thanks to the blind boxes. Yunzhuang House will also launch a few sets of clothes and jewelry during the Qiqiao Festival, and I plan to use the blind boxes to boost sales.
"
Si Haochen didn't dare to underestimate this 'blind box' business now. It was said that the 'hidden model' Flower God porcelain doll was auctioned at the auction house and was bought away for 800 taels. It didn't sound like much money.
But no matter how exquisitely made the porcelain doll was, the cost was no more than one tael of silver. It doubled eight hundred times in one go, which was definitely a sky-high price.
"Where did you get all these fantastic ideas?" Si Haochen sat down next to Mingruo.
"Do you want to know?" Mingruo blinked her big, bright eyes, with a 'bad smile' at the corner of her mouth.
"Ahem, I don't want to know, so don't tell me." Si Haochen raised his hand to cover Mingruo's mouth.
"Hahaha." Mingruo didn't know what Si Haochen was afraid of.
In short, he was very curious about her "origin", but he didn't want to delve into it. Whenever she wanted to say a few words to tease her boyfriend, he became very nervous. Mingruo estimated that it was because of her boyfriend's psychological feelings about her.
I am not confident in my ability to bear it. I am afraid that she will say something shocking and I will not be able to face her.
"Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Mingruo put down the pen in his hand and supported his chin with his hand.
"How would you like to eat, my concubine? I will definitely cooperate with you..." Si Haochen hugged Mingruo directly into his arms, "I am even hungrier than my concubine!"
"..." Mingruo shuddered. She seriously suspected that Si Haochen was driving, but there was no evidence!
"Tomorrow we will break camp and advance thirty miles north, and then wait for an opportunity to capture Hutou City." Si Haochen gently stroked Mingruo's back, "You need to pack your bags."
"Okay." Mingruo rested his little head on Si Haochen's shoulder, "Isn't it difficult to attack the city?"
The two armies were evenly matched in the battle, but when it came to attacking the city, the other side at least had the advantage of having a "good location".
"Although Hutou City is under Beichi, it frequently trades with Donghuan and can be self-sufficient and does not need to rely on the royal court. This time, Beichi's army was short of food and grass and retreated to Hutou City. It is estimated that a lot of food and grass were 'requisitioned'..." Si
Haochen knew that his princess was extremely intelligent and should be able to understand what he meant.
Mingruo also understood that Beichi was experiencing a "spring famine" now. The people of Hutou City were already too busy to take care of themselves. If the army continued to forcefully seize food and grass, there would be complaints. If they attack now, they should not encounter stubborn resistance. Moreover, a
The city cannot afford to feed an army of 100,000 people no matter what. There is still a shortage of food and grass in Beichi, and the soldiers' combat effectiveness will decrease if they don't have enough to eat.
After all, this is really a good opportunity to attack the city.
"Furthermore, Feng Muling has already controlled the situation in Xikang. The second prince is afraid of losing the opportunity to fight for the throne, so he is expected to withdraw his troops at the border soon. All the plans they had conspired before should be impossible to implement.
"Si Haochen pecked Mingruo's little mouth, "If everything goes well, the war will be over in another month."
"Come on, Marshal!" Mingruo made a cheering gesture, and Si Haochen imitated her and returned the same gesture.
"Hahaha." He hugged Si Haochen's neck and gave a 'pop' to his face that was 360 degrees wide, "My bamboo horse is so cute!"
"..." The corners of Si Haochen's lips twitched. How could he, an upright and good man, be next to a cute person?
"I'm going to pack my bags and run away." Mingruo jumped out of Si Haochen's arms.
Mingruo's luggage was all in the space. She only packed some clothes and medicinal materials to show off. Si Haochen's luggage was taken care of by personal soldiers, so she didn't need to intervene at all. Mingruo packed it quickly.
Seeing several drawings on the table, Mingruo left the manuscript first. Then he wrote a note, explaining that it was for Yunzhuang Building, then put it into an envelope together and handed it to Si Haochen: "Send it to Bai Bai for me.
grown ups."
That 'profiteer' Bai Shen must know how to operate and maximize the benefits of these things. Mingruo will not prevent the 'profiteer' from letting himself go.
"Okay." Si Haochen put the drawing into his sleeve pocket, "I'll continue to learn how to make longevity noodles."
"Your Highness Prince Yun, your soup is not hot enough." Mingruo blinked with big eyes.
"It takes so long to cook, and I won't be able to catch up with midnight snacks." Si Haochen pulled Mingruo up, "Teach me how to make it first, and then make the most authentic soup when you have time."
Si Haochen decided to learn cooking as a martial art. He learned the moves first and then slowly honed them.
"That's fine." His Royal Highness Prince Yun is so active in learning, which must be encouraged.
Mingruo brought Si Haochen into the space. He first took the pot of broth to the kitchen and put it on the fire to continue simmering. Then, he processed the ingredients for the toppings: shred the ham, slice the tender bamboo shoots, and slap the abalone with a flower knife.
, and cut some green onion and ginger shreds.
Si Haochen is very good at swordsmanship, and he can do this with ease.
Everything was ready, and Mingruo started to teach how to fry the toppings. Although Si Haochen was still in charge, Mingruo still controlled the seasoning.
Si Haochen became a little uneasy: "How much salt did you add just now?"
Ming Ruo thought of the foreign chefs in the previous life who complained about the soul seasoning of Chinese recipes, and deliberately joked: "appropriate amount."
"What is this?" Si Haochen saw Mingruo adding more ingredients to the pot.
"Five-spice powder, a little." Mingruo continued.
"..." Si Haochen suddenly discovered that the chef is also profound and profound, and these contents are enough for him to 'comprehend' for some time.
Seeing Si Haochen's silly look, Mingruo finally couldn't bear to tease him any more. She pointed at the pot and said, "There are enough toppings here for two people." Then he took out a small spoon for taking out condiments and said, "This size
The appropriate amount is one level spoon, and the appropriate amount is half a spoon."
"Yeah." Si Haochen picked up the small spoon and observed it carefully, secretly writing down the capacity.
Finally, add the stock to the pot and the topping is ready.
Mingruo took another pot to cook the noodles, and when the noodles were almost ready, he added a few green vegetables: "The vegetables should be cooked with the noodles last, so they look greener."
The noodles are cooked, put into a bowl, and topped with toppings: "Is this good?"
"Well, that's it." Mingruo arranged the plate a little and put the vegetables on top. It looked much prettier, "It's very simple, right?"
"It's okay." Si Haochen gritted his back molars and held on. He didn't think it was easy at all!
While Si Haochen was struggling with the toppings, Mingruo had already made a cold cucumber dish and cut a plate of beef: "It's time to eat."
