The card draw is not ruthless, and the gate of the house is unstable

Chapter 39 Submitted
Originally, I kept emphasizing that this matter should not be spoken out, because I was afraid that it would cause disaster.

But what the eldest daughter-in-law said also had to be considered.

After all, the granddaughter is just a child, and she said that she loves to ponder since she was a child, and then let her figure it out.

This reason is somewhat far-fetched.

But if you tell what happened in your dream...

For a while, the old lady couldn't make up her mind.

After thinking for a long time, the old lady said: "Let's keep it a secret first, it will depend on the situation."

"Yes, mother."

The eldest lady didn't mention it any more, she agreed as she said.

The next day, the eldest lady got up early and went to the gate of the palace in a carriage.

Just got out of the car, and saw the maid in charge beside the empress had already been waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Ma'am is here, the Empress has given Buyu early, and specially ordered the slaves to wait here." The maid in charge saw the eldest lady get off the car, and came up to meet her, said so.

After leading the lady to Buyu, signaling to the person carrying the frame to put Buyu down, the maid in charge said, "Madam, please sit down."

"Excuse me, miss." The eldest lady nodded, then lifted her foot and sat on Buyu.

This is not the first time the eldest lady has entered the palace.

Before Xie's uncle Xie Chengbai was still there, the eldest lady also entered the palace several times.

Most of them enter the palace to express gratitude, and very few attend palace banquets.

This time, he entered the palace again, but it was not entering the palace to thank him, nor was he going to a banquet.

Not long after, Buyu arrived at the gate of Yikun Palace.

After stepping down from Buyu, the Da Furen led Caiyun to follow behind the maid in charge and entered the Yikun Palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, the eldest lady knelt down and said, "The minister's wife sees the empress."

"Madam, please get up quickly, Xiaoyue, give me your seat." The queen slightly raised her hand, and asked the maid in charge to invite the eldest lady to sit down.

After the eldest lady sat down, she saw that the queen hadn't spoken for a long time, so she raised her head slightly, "I don't know what the empress called for the minister's wife."

In fact, the queen was just thinking about how to speak.

Seeing Da Furen asked, she followed Da Furen's words, "I heard that the business of the General's Mansion has been booming recently, and I think your life will be easier when you come here."

really.

The Da Furen knew it well, after all, apart from the matter of eating, there was nothing worthy of royal attention in the General's Mansion.

Because the items sold in her own inn and restaurant are not confidential, the eldest lady also said frankly:

"Yes, because some new foods have been researched, so there are more customers."

Seeing that the eldest lady had no intention of hiding at all, the queen was relieved.

She was afraid that she would not be able to ask any questions, and it would be difficult to explain to the emperor.

Hearing what Da Furen said, the Empress sighed again: "It's not just that there are too many customers, I heard that the people queuing up on the long street, many of them still can't buy this food."

There was a smile in the eyes of the eldest lady. What the queen said was true. The best-sellers had to be crisp slices made of earthen eggs and small steamed buns made of wheat flour.

Yesterday, steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, and fried dumplings were launched, and the sales seem to be good.

The front was paved, and the queen finally stated the main purpose:
"Recently, the war has just subsided, and it is the time when everything is waiting to be done, and the people's food and clothing cannot be solved. I have seen some hope when I see the food introduced by your house. I wonder if you can tell me what the ingredients of this steamed bun are. The imperial court promoted it so that more people would no longer suffer from hunger."

Hearing what the queen said, the eldest lady hurriedly got up and said: "The empress is flattering you, the raw material for this food has actually entered people's field of vision a long time ago, it is the wheat that has been used to feed livestock in the market place."

"wheat?"

The queen was a little surprised, that plain wheat can make such a delicious snack?

The queen still couldn't believe it, "Could it be that madam is joking."

"How dare you, the various new snacks launched by inns and restaurants recently are all made of wheat flour. Speaking of which, this is the idea of ​​the minister's wife and niece." Seeing that the queen did not believe it, the eldest lady affirmed again.

"Grind it into powder?" The queen was surprised again, and then said with relief: "It's true, if glutinous rice is made into snacks and then beaten with a stone mortar, it will have the same effect if it is ground into powder."

Fu also thought that a seven-year-old child had come up with the idea of ​​grinding it into powder to make snacks, and laughed: "I didn't realize it, we adults are not as good as a seven-year-old child."

Seeing the empress like this, the eldest lady also laughed along with her: "That kid Qing Yu just likes to play with little things, and unexpectedly she made some tricks."

Knowing that the stuff was made of wheat flour, the queen asked, "Then this flour is also made of stone mortar?"

"Yes, but that kid Qingyu made two more kinds of powders, which are much more convenient than using stone mortars."

The eldest lady nodded yes, and told the story of Xie Qingyu's making a stone mill.

Although they have long decided to make wheat flour and stone mills available, they still have to seek some benefits for their own family.

Xie Qingyu learned this from her grandfather, so the sweetness naturally had to fall on her.

When the queen heard that Xie Qingyu also made two kinds of powder, although she had never seen it before, it did not hinder her from praising: "Oh, so Miss Seven is a rare talent."

The eldest lady was a little humble, "It's just that children like to tinker. I have already made that thing in the past two days, and I'm just trying to see if it works."

"I went to take a look at the previous one, and it was quite convenient. I am planning to tell Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry about this in a few days."

Speaking of this, the eldest lady smiled embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to tell the emperor directly, but the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so how could the ministers and others just think about it at will, so I wanted to tell the empress about you, but I was not summoned. , the minister's wife can't enter the palace casually."

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about when to meet the wife of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and ask her to tell Lu Shangshu about this matter, but before I think about it, you will summon your wife, empress."

The eldest lady seemed a little surprised, and continued:
"This saves a lot of trouble, and it would be better to tell the empress directly about you."

Originally, I just wanted to know what the ingredients of this steamed bun were, but I didn't expect that there were such things as tools.

The queen didn't care much about what this tool looked like, nor did she care about the principle.

But hearing Da Furen's praise, she became a little curious, so she asked: "What do these two tools Madam mentioned look like, and they can be easily transported."

Da Furen frowned: "I can't even describe that thing. It's made of huge sand and stones, and iron rods are used in the middle. It's very laborious to transport."

Hearing this, the queen also frowned.

So, it's not easy to witness with your own eyes.

Unexpectedly, her troubles will disappear in the next moment.

"However, because the thing is too big, Qing Yu specially asked Li Huwei to beat up a few more small ones. If the empress wants to, she can send someone to go with the minister's wife, transport it to the palace, and try to make one or two."

The queen's eyebrows stretched instantly, and she said happily: "This is very good, then there will be Mrs. Lao."
