Xue Baochai's character has always been like a noble scholar in the mountains with crystal clear snow, no fun, no appetite.
Now even she has eaten two pieces of cake, obviously she has also been captured by the cream cake.
"Aunt Baochai, don't get me wrong. Jia Lan is just curious that even Aunt Baochai can't resist the deliciousness of this cake. It seems that if this thing is taken out, it will definitely sell well."
Baochai nodded with a smile: "This food is very delicious, I will definitely not worry about sales."
Jia Lan's eyes flashed and he suddenly said: "If Aunt Baochai likes it, why don't you join us in selling this kind of cake?"
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
"Ah?" Baochai was a little surprised at first, but as his thoughts flowed, a burst of joy appeared on his face.
"Could it be that Langeer is deceiving me?"
Food is the most important thing for the people, and delicious food will never be out of date.
She is really optimistic about the sales of this small cake. Even though it is easy to be imitated, it is still a very novel thing. If it is managed properly, it will definitely be a very good business.
What Xue Baochai didn't expect was that Jia Lan directly invited the Xue family to join the family.
She could clearly feel that Jia Lan was not close to the Xue family.
Baochai even had a bold guess that Jia Lan was slightly alienated from Mrs. Wang and her family.
Seeing that Xue Baochai was a little confused, Jia Lan explained: "As Aunt Xue saw, the making of this cake is not complicated at all. The key is that the raw materials are a bit difficult to get.
I originally planned to open a few tea confectionery shops in Shenjing and sell some ordinary cakes. Now Aunt Yingchun has made this exquisite cream cake, and everyone has rated it so highly. I think it has a good future. I am thinking about how to make it.
It has been built into a leading product.
In this case, why not invite a few more people to join in and run this business together? How about letting Aunt Xue's family run this cake business in Nan Province, and Aunt Yingchun and several aunts will provide the recipe to become a shareholder, and Aunt Xue's family will run the shop, and the year-end settlement income will be calculated separately.
Bonus.
In this way, one south and one north can also open up the situation at the same time."
Xue Baochai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded in agreement.
Jia Lan is right. The key to this cake is the raw materials. Although there are dairy farms in China, the output has not been high, and storage is also a huge problem.
But having said that, Baochai quite agrees with Jia Lan's business strategy of one south and one north.
Needless to say, Shenjing is close to the grassland, so you can buy suitable cows nearby.
The most important thing is that there is a cattle farm near Shinkyo.
This matter can be traced back to a hundred years ago. In order to cater to the habits of the Beidi royal family who were born as nomads, three cattle pens were built on Xihua Mountain in Shenjing, commonly known as the inner three pens. More than 600 cows were transported from the grassland to serve the royal family.
People come in.
Later, Emperor Gao restored the Central Plains, and these cattle ranches remained.
Chinese people also use milk.
Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: All kinds of milk can be made from fermented bean curd, but today only the one made from cow's milk is the best.
It’s just that the preservation technology is backward and only wealthy households can use it.
And Nan Province is one of the most fertile places in the world, with a large concentration of wealthy households and a huge market, so naturally there are dairy farms.
But after the surprise, Baochai was a little hesitant. After thinking again and again, she stood up and said to Jia Lan: "This is an extremely rare formula. It is so easy to suffer from it. You must not do it."
Baochai's sincere tone made Jia Lan stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and first praised: "Aunt Xue is so righteous."
He roughly guessed that Xue Baochai was still burdened by morality and was embarrassed to take advantage of Jia Lan for no reason.
So Jia Lan said again: "My aunt is overly worried. This cake is novel, but it is not difficult to make.
This thing is always easy to be copied once it comes out. My aunt must have also discovered that this cake is easy to make but not easy to make. Why hold on to the secret recipe? For such a good thing, it is better for everyone to enjoy it alone. " Jia Baoyu shouted: "Brother Lan is absolutely right! Sister Bao, just accept it."
Xue Baochai saw the teasing in Jia Lan's eyes, lowered his eyelids slightly shyly, said "hmm" and stood up again to give a blessing to Jia Lan.
"Baochai thanked Brother Lan for his generosity on behalf of the Xue family. He also wanted to thank his second and fourth sisters."
She also did not forget to welcome the spring and welcome the spring.
Xue Pan was away, so Baochai could make the decision himself. Jia Lan discussed it with him for a while, and finally said: "After a while, I will send someone to Nan Province to discuss this matter, and I'll trouble Aunt Xue to write a letter... By the way, I don't know."
Who can people look for when they get there?"
Xue Baochai thought for a while: "Now my second uncle is in charge of the family business. He has a pair of children. The elder brother ranks second in the family. His name is Xue Biao, and he is also a stable person.
I edited two letters, one for my second uncle and one for my second brother..."
She deliberately mentioned Xue Biao to leave an impression on Jialan. After all, Xue Biao was someone she felt close to, and he was steady and trustworthy. It was also a good thing to have such a job in his hands. p>
"What a fate, we are also the second brother." Shi Xiangyun interrupted and said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Xiangyun. Although she had deliberately practiced her pronunciation and would never pronounce her second brother as "love brother" again, everyone still couldn't help but laugh.
Just right!
Jia Lan had a smile in his eyes. His goal was Xue Biao's family. After achieving his goal, he chatted with everyone for a while and then left. He knew that Jia Baoyu would be unhappy if he continued to stay.
Looking at Jia Lan's leaving figure, Xue Baochai frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time.
"Sister Bao, these movies are gone, what are you still watching?"
Lin Daiyu's words brought Baochai back to her senses, and she said with a smile in her almond eyes: "It's nothing, I just feel that I haven't seen you for a while, and Lan Geer feels a lot closer to me."
Xichun said: "Although Langeer doesn't come here often, he has always been close to everyone."
Xiangyun nodded: "After all, homework is the most important thing. Lange'er has to prepare for spring in the near future. Naturally, he can't be naughty with us all day."
Everyone said yes.
"What's so good about Laoshizi's book?"
Baoyu did it again, causing everyone to laugh.
Baochai mingled among the crowd, but his thoughts were still thinking about Jia Lan's figure just now, and there was a confusion in his eyes.
She always felt that the feeling Jialan gave her was both changed and somewhat familiar.
A few days later, New Year's Eve arrived.
Maybe Jia Lan is at home this year, or maybe Yuanchun was granted the title of imperial concubine. Although Jia Zheng did not come back because of his father-in-law's affairs, one person named Jia was missing and another person named Jia came back. This year's Spring Festival in Rongguo Mansion is still the same.
It was a prosperous life.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ningguo Mansion started from the main gate, the ceremonial gate, the hall, the pavilion, the inner hall, the three inner gates, the inner ceremonial gate and the inner gate to the main hall.
The two golden dragons are like two.
The next day, Jia Mu and other concubines led everyone to the ancestral hall to worship. Then they went to the palace to congratulate and pay homage to Concubine Yuan. After returning from the banquet, they went to Ningguo Mansion.
Worship the ancestral hall before returning to receive the ceremony.
Over the next ten days, there was an endless stream of relatives and friends, and Jia Lan accompanied the old lady to meet the guests.
When I heard that Xiao Jieyuan from Rongguo Mansion had made a rare appearance, more relatives and friends came to walk around.
Jia Lan treated each other politely and stood beside Jia Mu.
Seeing that Jia Lan was young and calm, and had extraordinary conversational skills, many relatives and friends were interested in getting married to Jia Lan, but Jia's mother blocked them one by one because of Baoyu's elder brother and the fact that they had not yet discussed the marriage.
New Year's Eve has passed and Lantern Festival is approaching.
Perhaps because of the grand polo matches held by the royal family before, this year's Lantern Festival is also very grand.
Lanterns originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and became popular among the people in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the craze for lantern appreciation did not diminish, and lantern markets appeared in the shops, selling various lanterns in various styles and beautiful styles.
In order to create a prosperous world, Zhu Yuanzhang extended the lighting time of the Lantern Festival to ten nights every year, fully displaying the prosperity.
Daxia followed the custom of the previous Ming Dynasty and put out lanterns for ten days starting from the Lantern Festival. King Wu couldn't help it. People could walk on the streets unscrupulously. For the royal family and the court, these days also showed the peaceful and prosperous times and the joy of the emperor and the people.
opportunity, in a sense, these days are also the ancient "carnival".
There is a poem that praises: "The bright lantern is hanging in the sky for the first time, and the Yao Palace returns in spring without night. The light is borrowed from the clouds in the royal city, and the shadows flow through thousands of houses. The hibiscus shines with purple and ambergris' saliva is warm, and the amber elixir pours the blood of a leopard. The plum blossoms on the jade flute
After the blowing was completed, more silver candles were added to illuminate the feast."
