Poor family mother and son

Chapter 735 Gold and Silver Steamed Buns
The emperor was so worried about the prices in the capital that he couldn't eat, and he looked thinner, but because Chu Qing and Xiaobao were trapped in the palace and didn't have to travel around, it was a rare thing that they gained weight for nothing.

During lunch, Chu Qing was going to eat in her small room, Princess Zhaohua sent someone to invite her to eat at her place, and only after she passed did she find out that the princess was actually in the small kitchen.

"Why is the princess here?" Chu Qing asked.

Princess: "The tenth brother said that Chu Tong made small gold and silver steamed buns over there, and he didn't give them to eat. He asked me if there were any here. Teacher, would you make them? I'm also greedy for what the tenth brother said."

Chu Qing: "..."

The son is too courageous, it is very difficult to be a mother!
Chu Qing: "Princess, that kid in my family is really outrageous, why don't I make more and send it to the Tenth Prince later?"

Princess Zhaohua giggled: "Teacher, there's no need, old ten should be punished, he's greedy and doesn't get along well with others, he deserves to be unable to eat!

It's just that I'm also greedy, teacher, can you teach me how to do well? "

Chu Qing naturally agreed, and it wasn't too difficult, but... "Princess, do you have milk powder?"

Zhaohua was in trouble: "Do you need milk powder? I don't have any here."

This is difficult, the milk powder in Xiaobao's hand is probably brought into the palace by himself, but Chu Qing doesn't have it.

Chu Qing said, "Send someone to the Blue House to get some."

Qin Nanny soon came back with a can of milk powder: "Princess, this is the last can of milk powder in Qingwatai, and it was all brought back by the old slave. They said that the new milk powder has not arrived yet."

Chu Qing looked at the jar, it was as big as a five-jin wine jar, and it would be less than four catties for milk powder.

"Hey, even the goods from the teacher's house can't be shipped in. No wonder Father is so worried every day."

"A little is enough," Chu Qing comforted, "The gold and silver steamed buns are delicious because they are dipped in condensed milk. We mainly use milk powder to make condensed milk. These milk powders can make a lot."

Thinking that the transportation is not smooth now, it might be related to Xiaobao, so Chu Qing naturally couldn't discuss transportation with the princess.

"Teacher, you don't know that the milk powder in front of you is enough to make condensed milk, but it's not enough to drink, right? The emperor is also worried, and there are still four days until the Double Ninth Festival. It is good to prepare the chrysanthemums for the courtiers, but you can give it to each family." Grace is not ready."

The princess counted with her fingers: "Wine, flowers, tea, silk, pastries, five sheep were rewarded to the prime minister and the prince in the past, but now there are textiles from the teacher, and now they are replaced by mutton and woolen clothes;
There is also rice, white flour... the queen mother will also give rewards to those relatives, especially those with old mothers, they will give more;

In the past, I didn't think much of it, even if my father changed the rewards or added a few more items on a whim, he could add them at any time;
But so far this year, there are not enough chrysanthemums and dogwoods to be rewarded, let alone others. "

Chu Qing was very surprised: "No way? You can't even buy it? In such a huge capital, there is no such thing?"

Princess Zhaohua said: "It's not that you can't buy them, but the prices have all increased. If we follow these prices, it means that the emperor allows them to increase the price to sell, and it will be difficult to stabilize prices in the future;

But if you don't buy it, firstly, it will appear that the royal family cares about every detail and lose face, and secondly, it is really not enough to reward. "

"Oh..." Chu Qing nodded, "What a dilemma."

While talking to the princess, Chu Qing worked non-stop to mix the milk powder, water and powdered sugar together, fully melted them, and boiled them in a clay pot over low heat.

The pottery pots in the palace are much finer than those used by ordinary people. It is very easy to use this kind of pot to cook condensed milk without sticking to the pot.

Zhaohua saw that eight taels of thick milk turned into two taels of condensed milk, and felt distressed: "Oh, condensed milk needs to consume so much milk powder and sugar, and this jar can't make much."

Then I got worried: "If you make it for the father, mother, and queen mother, you won't be able to eat a few meals... Teacher, when will your milk powder be shipped back to China?"

Chu Qing gave her a troubled smile and said nothing.

Chu Qing is also worried, what is Xiaobao going to do?Cut off the transportation, and cut off the whole country. After all, you can't control the official transportation channels, and it also disturbed your own business. Why?

Steamed buns are readily available.

The steamed buns in the palace are small, not much bigger than the small steamed buns from the Chu family. They are round, but they are not made with milk and noodles, so they don't have that attractive milky fragrance.

Chu Qing fried a plate of small steamed buns, placed them on a plate with the unfried ones, and placed a small plate of condensed milk in the middle.

Chu Qing unscrupulously tied up a fried steamed bun with chopsticks, dipped some condensed milk and handed it to Princess Zhaohua, hehe, let the royal princess eat in an unrefined manner, it's so cool!

Princess Zhaohua didn't think anything of it, she thought she had to eat like this, so she took a bite, her hot little mouth twisted, and she nodded again and again: "Teacher, it's delicious!"

As he spoke, he stood up, and before he could swallow the food in his mouth, he yelled: "Teacher, please fry some more steamed buns, I'll ask my father and mother to taste it together!"

Then she ran away without waiting for Chu Qing's response, and Nanny Xin followed behind and muttered: "Princess, please slow down...Princess, you need to go...Princess..."

Chu Qing continued to smile in distress - he is a filial child, but if he invites the emperor and empress over to eat, he can't stop eating this meal!
Don't talk about food, don't talk about sleep, requests are all made to others, and my family doesn't have such rules. See, as the biggest breaker of the rules-the emperor, he can't stop his mouth even if he eats: "Oh."

Chewing the milky and milky golden and silver steamed buns and still sighing, the common people have to curl their lips when they see this: "Oh, look at the emperor, you can't eat such good things, so you can't eat dragon meat?"

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, if it's really not possible, it doesn't matter if you just increase the price." The queen comforted.

Big deal, it's Ben Gong to make up for the extra money spent, Ben Gong is not short of money, the queen thought.

"I just don't want to take advantage of those people for nothing!" The emperor angrily took a bite of the deep-fried steamed bun, as if biting someone's meat, and dipped it in a big lump of condensed milk, which made Zhaohua feel distressed.

It's not about the money!
The purchase price in the palace is already higher than the market price, because it is the royal family, the price is not high enough to show that the royal family does not use the best things, but taking the "royal price" on the basis of the current impetuous price will not only damage the royal family. Money is also tantamount to allowing the immediate rise in prices.

The prices in Kyoto are already like this, and the problems in the reports submitted by various places are even more obvious, and Kyoto will always lead the trend of the whole country. If this gate is opened, then the prices of the whole country will soar...

Who is cheaper then?Isn't that the money from the royal family to spend for those famous families?Isn't that I cultivated a group of moths myself?
"Chu Qing," the queen suddenly named Chu Qing.

Chu Qing sighed secretly in her heart, and then secretly ate two small steamed buns...

"Can you get [-] chrysanthemums first?" asked the queen.

The queen has already thought about other rewards. Silk, cakes, etc., are all given out first to the former courtiers, and all expenses in the harem are postponed, including the families of the concubines. The queen is an example, and even those people can't say anything.

But for things like silk flowers, they had to be prepared on the eighth day of the eighth day, so it took less than three days.

Chu Qing bowed his head to calculate, there are not many silks in the "Bao Qingxiang" shop in Kyoto, but there are many cotton and wool products, and the purchase price of wool is the lowest, so...

"Queen, I can't make silk flowers, so can I change them into velvet flowers?" Chu Qing asked, "It's getting colder, and velvet flowers seem to be softer and warmer?"
