The favorite of the royal group: the money-loving little ancestor soared to the top by selling talis

Chapter 33 Chapter 033: Trouble in the General’s Mansion (Thanks to Lei for the reward and support)
The monthly expenses of the General's Mansion are very high, and even with the efforts and frugality of the whole government, they cost about five hundred taels.

Shen Zhiyu feels that now that he can run and jump, he should do more for the family.

Shen Zhiqing stared at the oven, and through the gap in the small window, he could see a little flame inside.

He was good at abacus math, and his father only inherited one-third of the property of the Zhenguo Palace. This money was only enough to pay his servants' monthly silver.

The food and drink expenses for the dozens of servants in the house cost one hundred taels of silver per month, and the several masters also cost three hundred taels. This money is still paid by the mother with the dowry.

My father has just assumed the post of King Wu Guard and will not receive his salary until next month.

However, I heard that more than ten days ago, my father gave the emperor a Taoist talisman and "blackmailed" him five thousand taels, which can be regarded as his father's great contribution to the family.

But one-fifth of her mother's dowry was left, and she only had three thousand taels in cash, which could only cover the expenses of the general's mansion for half a year.

As a son, Shen Zhiqing felt very guilty. The reason why his mother's dowry was spent so much was because he needed to take Wu Shi Powder every day.

And Wushi Powder is very expensive.

Now that he is healthy now, he has to pay for this family and his mother.

This is worthy of the mother's nurturing grace and nurturing grace.

Secondly, once the news spreads that the Shen family and his son are living off their wife's mother's dowry, it will not be a good thing for the Shen family. They will become the laughing stock of the entire capital within half a year.

It's a small thing to be embarrassed, but my father will also be impeached by those civil servants, which will affect his career.

Shen Zhiyu is also particularly fond of this opportunity and hopes to open a cake shop as soon as possible.

Ruan Ruan smelled the rich smell of the cake and felt that the heat was coming, so he made a few noises to Shen Zhiyu.

[Third brother, the cake is done. Turn on the oven, don't let it burn. I have worked in a cake shop for three years, and I can tell how mature it is as soon as I smell it. 】

In her previous life, she was an orphan. She went to work in a cake shop at the age of fourteen to earn some pocket money.

Shen Zhiyu was stunned. My sister has been working in a cake shop for three years?
There were cake shops in her time?
Without any time to think, he reached out and opened the wooden block blocking the small window, and a wave of heat and the smell of cake came out.

He quickly ducked aside, and after the heat wave dissipated, he took a very long and thin wooden bar, put it into the oven, pushed and pulled, and the copper basin containing the cake was moved to the end of the wooden bar. .

He slowly pulled out the wooden board, called the boy to get a piece of thick cloth, and brought the copper basin to the small table.

"It looks like it was a success." Shen Zhiqing hugged Ruan Ruan and came up to take a look at the large, round cake embryo in the copper basin. It was fluffy and elastic, and the color was still very beautiful yellow.

I didn’t expect that just a little cake batter could bake such a big cake.

"Wangyou, go and call my mother." He turned around and asked his servant to tell his mother to come. When he looked up, he saw that the sun was rising very high.

"Third brother, aren't there two lotus leaf chickens in the kitchen? While there is still charcoal in the oven, roast them for lunch. Send one to my father and the other to the academy."

"Okay." Shen Zhiyu walked into the kitchen, brought two fresh lotus leaf chickens, put them in the oven, and added a few pieces of charcoal.

It has been almost a month and a half since He Daozi helped open several large acupuncture points in his Dantian and took the detoxifying decoction without asking for a miracle doctor every day. He weighed 350 pounds and has lost weight to about 200 pounds.

If he waits another month, he will be back in shape.

But, his divine power and martial arts...

I'm afraid I'll never recover.

Cheng Yurong heard the news and hurried to Shen Zhiqing's Qingzhuyuan, followed by Aunt Zhou, Bai Wei, Bai Kou and Bai Zhi.

They have all eaten birthday cakes and especially like this multi-flavored sweet.

If the cake shop can be opened, the government's income will be at least several thousand taels more per month.

This is a great joy.

Several people looked at the big and round cake embryo and felt very good.

"It looks very soft, so it must be made." "I just don't know if it tastes like it?"

"It definitely looks like it. It's hard to get the ingredients."

……

Ruan Ruan was tired, ignored everyone, and quickly fell asleep in Shen Zhiqing's arms.

Unable to let go of his hands, he could only stare at Shen Zhiyu whipping the light cream into sticky cream. The third brother was simply strong, so it only took him a quarter of an hour to make one bowl, and then whipped the second bowl.

Aunt Zhou started by pressing the steamed and cooled taro into gray taro paste, and added an appropriate amount of sugar. Since it is a dessert, of course, sugar must be added.

Angelica dahurica also pressed the steamed chestnuts into puree and added an appropriate amount of sugar.

I’m going to make two flavors of cake today.

Bai Wei and Bai Kou helped wash the apricots, raspberries, strawberries and some wild fruits, cut them into pieces and put them on plates.

After the cake embryo was cooled, Cheng Yurong personally picked up the copper basin, poured out the cake embryo, and pulled it in from the side with a knife, successfully separating the two layers.

She was very careful in this process.

She had read the detailed introduction of the cake manual more than a dozen times, and she secretly practiced cutting the cake embryo dozens of times, just waiting for her to perform well this time.

She cut the two layers of cake into four layers, stacked them together and placed them on a plate that was bigger than her head.

Aunt Zhou and Bai Wei were helping, passing plates at one time, chestnut puree and cream at another, and cut fruits at another.

It took nearly half an hour before the first cake was finally ready.

Looking at the cake in front of them, everyone was excited and proud.

"It looks similar to the cake I had before. It should be ready for training." Shen Zhiqing hugged Ruan Ruan and sat on the chair, giving her mother a thumbs up and praising her.

"It's okay! I'm just a little unskilled. I can squeeze the cream into petal shapes to enrich the shape of the cake."

Cheng Yurong is very confident in her hands-on ability. In the past, she conquered her sweet-toothed husband by making good pastries.

Aunt Zhou and Bai Zhi also praised each other.

Aunt Zhou and Bai Wei made the second cake together. Cheng Yurong was tired and sat next to him to rest.

Bai Zhi and Bai Kou were there to help.

Shen Zhiyu went out and opened the small window of the oven, took out two lotus leaf chickens, called his servant Qili and his second brother's servant Wangyou, and brought two lunch boxes and filled them with lotus leaf chickens.

The chestnut cake was cut into eight pieces by Angelica dahurica. Four pieces of cake were put in one lunch box, and four pieces of cake were also put in the other lunch box. The two boys were ordered to send the cake to the academy and the other to the palace.

Half an hour later...

The second cake was also done, and the result was almost the same as the first cake.

After admiring it for a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yurong personally took a knife and cut the taro strawberry cake into twelve small pieces.

Everyone was not polite and picked up their little forks to eat.

Shen Zhiyu secretly left a small piece for Ruan Ruan, afraid that if she woke up and found that the cake was finished, she would cause an uproar in the general's mansion?
"It turns out that the taro paste and strawberry cake is so delicious. The cake I sent to Tan's house last time must also have the same taste. I think the guests like it very much. Several little girls licked the plates clean."

Bai Zhi took a bite of the taro cake, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons with satisfaction.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed so hard.
