Empress Cao seemed to have touched something in the past few days, especially since the emperor who entered the palace in the past few days always brought the topic to the official rewards from time to time, and even went so far as to directly ask about the origin of the cake.
She understands that rare things are valuable, and she also understands that rare things can be lived in. Could it be that Xi'er wants to...she couldn't figure it out further.
Since the entire capital has made demands, why is Xi'er still standing still? But these past few days after school, she has been looking for servants who make desserts... It's said to be training.
Let it go. It's just that Tao Niang muttered that there was no cake to eat, which made her worried. No one in the palace knew the recipe except Xi'er.
Fortunately, someone from my parents' house delivered a message, and as instructed, the tenant next to the cake shop was purchased and turned into a dessert shop according to Xi'er's instructions.
Empress Cao knew that this was just to cover up others' ears, or to cover up the unique sweetness of the cakes made in the palace.
But after all, it was impossible to tear down the palace wall. In the end, the cake had to go in and out through the palace gate, and the court would still know about it.
The merchants of this dynasty are not humble, and there are many merchants among the royal relatives. But if she indulges Xi'er in this way, will it bring trouble to the official family, or will it affect Xi'er's reputation? She is a little confused, and she can't think of the future that is too far away. .
"Sanlang, would you like to make a cake for Taoniang? Taoniang will no longer affect your study, and will not hide your writing brush. My aunt asked Taoniang to do it for Taoniang, so she only wants Sanlang to make it for Taoniang. cake……"
This girl betrayed her aunt because of her stuttering.
"There will be cake today."
After Zhao Xi said this, he was still thinking about how to send Tao Niang away. In the end, the little girl greeted the chief attendant and went to the imperial dining room.
I want to eat cake, but even the cake chef doesn't even bother to talk to me.
"Mother, please tell your uncle today that the cake shop will open tomorrow, with a sales limit of 1,000 yuan on the first day."
Zhao Xi felt that the atmosphere was almost created. Now is the time. If it takes a few days, the children may still remember it, but the adults will probably suppress this request with force.
There is no such thing in the whole capital. When there is no solution, the adults will only forcefully suppress the children's demands. It is the same in ancient and modern times.
"Xi'er, why are you only selling it for a thousand yuan?"
Empress Cao still remembered the room next to the palace wall. The earthen oven that Xi'er ordered to make was worth three to five thousand yuan a day.
"Children have their own plans."
This child, this sentence again.
"Xi'er, how much does the cake cost?"
This is the most important thing, she thought it should be comparable to Grandma Cao's meat pie...
Empress Cao has no concept of a guild in her mind. In her opinion, the price of the food she cooks should naturally be decided by herself.
But Zhao Xi understood that at this time, the prototype of price management had already been established, and the guilds basically made the decision.
Of course, the premise is that you have to have a score, or you can go to the guild to make an agreement.
"Empress, based on the calculation of sixty cents per bushel of wheat, one bushel of wheat can produce eight to ten catties of flour, and one pound of flour can be used to make one pound of cake. In addition, there are chicken eggs, sugar, yeast dough, etc."
"I think we can initially settle on five to ten cents for each piece of cake. Neiyuan can defeat my uncle for three to five cents per piece. Please also ask my mother to inform my uncle to negotiate with the guild."
Zhao Xi was not too cruel, although he knew that when this thing started, it was mostly consumed by scholar-bureaucrats.
In this era, scholar-bureaucrats were really wealthy.
He was vague about how many cakes a pound of cake could make, and he didn’t say how many eggs a cake would contain... This didn’t include intellectual property rights and added value.
Not too cruel, a piece of cake is only fifteen times the cost. I won’t tell you these trivial matters.
After saying that, Zhao Xi left. He had to arrange today's production tasks.
It is said that he has trained a group of cake chefs in the past two days and asked Liu Yicai to buy enough ingredients for tomorrow's cakes. They were all waiting for his order.
The biggest advantage of this place is that you can enter the palace and cannot leave until you die. These people are completely like family members... As long as they are not treated badly, they are die-hard loyalists.
Cao Xiang stood stupidly in the cake shop... Is this a cake shop? Apart from being decorated like a dessert shop, there is nothing else and it is empty.
Word has been spread that there will be a grand opening selling cakes tomorrow, but the problem is that he has never even seen what the cakes look like.
It's getting dark now, but there's still no news from the owner's family...
Cao Xiang and his mother-in-law have served for five years. If his mother-in-law's family hadn't been working as officials, eating and drinking and waiting to die, this life would not have affected him.
But now it's his turn, he can't sell himself tomorrow.
"Ding Dong..."
A sudden sound frightened Cao Xiang. Following the sound... it seemed to be in the back room, and the direction seemed to be in the direction of the palace wall.
Cao Xiang plucked up the courage and entered the back room... When did there appear a hole in the palace wall?
The official family has always been benevolent. They built houses next to the palace wall and used the palace wall to save the residents from building a wall. The official family never said anything.
Therefore, once the palace wall is revealed, this room is connected to the palace.
"But shopkeeper Cao Xiangcao?"
Cao Xiang heard that this meant calling himself.
"That's what I am."
"Where's your buddy? Why are you alone?"
"The man will come tomorrow."
"You idiot! I'm going to buy cakes in stores all over the capital tomorrow morning. Are you waiting for the waiter to make you a cake?"
Liu Yi didn't have any intention of flattery at this time.
"Hurry up! It's delaying the prince and the empress's important event, and you can't afford it!"
Liu Yi also knew that this person must not be a direct descendant, otherwise the empress would not let him do this business thing.
"Zhongguan, what should I do?"
He really didn't pay attention. The whole Bianliang City was talking about the cake. He didn't need to think too much to know what the opening would be like tomorrow. The problem was that he hadn't seen the cake yet.
"Hurry up and call the guy. He must be a reliable person to pick up the cake!"
"Zhongguan, I don't understand."
What a fool! Liu Yi threw a piece of cake out of the hole in the palace wall...
"I've rewarded you! Go and come back quickly."
Is this the cake? Cao Xiang was fascinated. This is really sweet.
…
Before Mao hour, all kinds of people in Bianliang City were walking along the palace wall, all with the same destination...the cake shop!
Cao Xiang was busy for half the night last night, and then he arranged the food called cake in detail according to the arrangement of the lieutenant general.
The door just opened early in the morning, and this... Cao Xiang was dumbfounded. He thought it would be a crowded scene, but he didn't expect that this person would be so crazy just for food...
There was a dense crowd of people outside the store, and they were all dressed in different clothes. At first glance, they were in charge of various businesses.
"I am from the family of the King of Political Affairs Hall..."
"I am Supervisor Zheng of Yushitai..."
"I am Mr. Du's family..."
"I am Mr. Jia's family..."
Damn it! Cao Xiang is fooled! This... that one is not something I can provoke... No! I am now on errands for Prince E and the Queen. Although I can't say it, I can't embarrass the Queen and the Prince.
"Listen up! If you line up in four lines, jump in line, argue, or don't line up, the cake will not be sold to them today!"
I still remember what the lieutenant taught me last night. Cao Xiang shouted louder at this time.
