Be careful, there are fat girls

Chapter 38 Ice Making Ideas

Mu Qingxi listened to Lu Sande's reply, looked at Ling Weiyang who was fleeing in embarrassment, and laughed.

Ling Weiyang had just stepped out of the gate of Deyi Building, when he suddenly heard a female laughing proudly and arrogantly above his head, he couldn't help but look back, only to see a strand of beautiful hair flashing by the window facing the street .Doubts arose in my heart, thoughtful.

Mu Qingxi was terrified by the look he turned around, and after a while she dared to look out again secretly, only to see that Ling Weiyang had disappeared.

Nanny Feng shook her head, disapproving of her teasing King Yu, but seeing the long-lost hearty smile appearing on her face again, she couldn't help feeling a little relieved.Recently, I always feel that Miss is much more mature than before, but after all, she is only a sixteen-year-old child.

Mu Qingxi didn't have as many emotions as Nanny Feng, she lowered her head thoughtfully, and after a while, she said to Lu Sande: "It's because I didn't think carefully, the local people may be surprised when they taste these strong dishes for the first time. If you are not used to it. Tell the people below that when ordering dishes for guests, remember to give more introductions. If you can’t eat spicy food, try not to recommend these dishes. Even if there are curious guests ordering dishes, you should also say Know how spicy the dishes are. How to adjust the taste is in the hands of the chef. We can adjust different spicy flavors according to the tastes of customers, and we can also give customers more choices.”

Lu Sande was overwhelmed by what he heard, and even claimed it was true.

Mu Qingxi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "The weather is hot now, and guests tend to get angry if they eat too much spicy food. We can also give herbal tea as a gift. This is also a very good idea."

Mu Qingxi remembered a small recipe for making herbal tea in her previous life, and couldn't help but get excited. She asked Lu Sande to fetch a pen and paper, bowed her head for a while after thinking, and started to write.

Chrysanthemum, Prunella vulgaris, Chicken Bone Grass, and Desmodium are three coins each, and Luo Han Guo is one.

She handed the list to Lu Sande: "Go to the pharmacy and prepare herbal tea according to this formula. One serving is enough for this amount. Do the math, one serving can fry several bowls of herbal tea. Then prepare the daily dosage and put it on the signboard At the door, write larger words: All diners will be given a cup of herbal tea, so that more people can be attracted to dine."

Mother Feng frowned: "Everything is given as a gift, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Mu Qingxi smiled: "Good Aunt Feng, how much is this thing worth? After the guests have a meal, the money for dozens of bowls of herbal tea comes out, not to mention..." She smiled slyly, "If I can make another thing , I'm afraid it will be a steady profit but not a loss!"

Before leaving, Mu Qingxi went to the kitchen to take a look at Mrs. Bai.Now that Bai Shi has been transferred out by her, she has basically learned a few Sichuan dishes that she is good at.After working for most of the day, her back was drenched with sweat, but looking at her expression, she was excited and excited.

Mu Qingxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you tired?"

Wielding a big shovel in his hand, Bai wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Tired, but happy in my heart." I have never felt such a strong feeling, that I am such an important person.When the little guy who listened to the dishes kept reporting that a certain dish would be served again or twice, it was worth it no matter how hard or tiring it was.

Mu Qingxi looked at her approvingly, "After a while, eat something quickly, I'll be leaving first."

Bai Shi nodded movedly: "Yes."

The small kitchen is extremely hot. There are no fans and air conditioners in this era, and the room is as hot as a steamer. Mu Qingxi is obese and can't stand the heat, but at this time she can't think about it, so she has to leave first.

Lu Sande belonged to the action group, took Mu Qingxi's order and went to the pharmacy at that time.According to the proportion, the amount of herbal tea that can be boiled for nearly 500 people was prepared first, and after calculation, it was only less than three renminbi, which is really not expensive.

Lu Sande thought carefully, put some sugar in the boiled herbal tea, drank it sweetly, and poured it with cold well water, and tasted it together with spicy dishes. It was a very refreshing thing.

As soon as the store opened on the second day, Lu Sande put up a sign offering free herbal tea with meals. Sure enough, although today's meals are no longer free, many people really came to dine for the free herbal tea.

Among the people who came to dine today, some of them had not enjoyed their meal yesterday, or they brought relatives and friends. Seeing that there was a gift of herbal tea today, they couldn't help but feel a little more happy.

Because the food is no longer free, the business is slightly lighter than yesterday, but there are still many customers.The store clerk was not as busy as yesterday, and he was a little more patient when introducing the dishes.Introduced in detail the varieties of special dishes, as well as the degree of spicy food that guests can accept.

While tasting the refreshing and spicy dishes, the diners can't help but feel like eating watermelon around the stove while drinking free iced herbal tea.

In the evening, Lu Sande sent someone to send over the account books for the past two days. Mu Qingxi did a careful calculation, and said to Nanny Feng with a smile: "It seems that our store has responded very well. The loss on the first day has already been lost today." Make up one-fifth. It seems that in a few days, we will be able to make money."

Mother Feng was also very happy when she heard that, but seeing Mu Qingxi frowned again, "It's just that the supply of this herbal tea is a bit late."

Herbal tea is actually quite a lot, but if it is poured with well water before being served, the supply will be in short supply. Now that the weather is getting hotter, more and more people will drink herbal tea. solution.

The best way is to use ice, but ice cubes, except for the rich and powerful, sometimes cannot be bought even if you have money.Even the amount of ice used by the Palace every day is limited.

Need to think of a once and for all solution.

Suddenly, I thought of a chemical ice-making method, saltpeter!
Saltpeter to make ice!

Curved the corners of his lips, for things like saltpeter, the best candidate is naturally looking for An Lehou.

Mu Qingxi narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Aunt Feng, let's go back to my mother's house tomorrow."

Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Qingxi got up early.Now that everything is on the right track, Mu Qingxi doesn't want to be said to be too harsh, so the time of the appointment has changed from Mao Shichu to Chen Shichu.After getting up, she handed over the matter of Dianmao to Mo Xiang, and she only brought Nanny Feng, Lan Xiang, and Mo Qi back to Hou Mansion.

Because it was still early, she needed to report to the princess first.Before reaching Xin'an Pavilion, she saw Mu Qingsi walking over slowly, holding Jinrou's arm.

Because of Mu Qingsi's status, she is not qualified to greet the princess, so Mu Qingxi doesn't think that Mu Qingsi will go to make trouble for herself, but she is a little surprised that Chunyu Fengzhan and Mu Qingsi have always been inseparable recently. Mu Qingsi felt quite strange when she was alone.

A smile appeared on his face, "Qingsi, it's so early."

Mu Qingsi walked up to her obediently, and bowed politely: "I've seen my sister."

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, even if she doesn't like her in her heart, every move of a beautiful woman looks infinitely more pleasing to the eye than her own.

Mu Qingsi was originally under the age of 15, and she was nearly four months pregnant at this time, her lower abdomen was protruding more obviously, but her body seemed to be getting thinner.

What Mu Qingxi thought in her heart was that in this time and space where the medical conditions are very simple, and she is so young, the chance of dystocia is really many times higher than others, don't even risk her life for this child.

There was a little more pity in my heart, and I said softly: "I'm going back to the Hou Mansion to visit my father today, are you going?"

As a concubine, without the consent of the husband-in-law or the head of the house, you cannot take half a step out of the door.

Originally thought that Mu Qingsi would want to go back to visit her father, but who knew that Mu Qingsi just had an inexplicable look in her eyes and refused.

"Sister, go alone. I'm not feeling well recently. It's better to stay in the mansion."

Doubt flashed across Mu Qingxi's heart, and she deliberately asked, "Why haven't you seen your son lately? Didn't he accompany you?"

Mu Qingsi covered her mouth and smiled softly: "The son is busy with business, how can he accompany me every day, my sister is joking."

Is the prince busy?Mu Qingxi slandered secretly in her heart, always felt that the royal nobles in the capital were all idle masters, so why are they so busy?

Not wanting to waste any more time, she nodded silently and walked towards Xin'an Pavilion. Mu Qingsi, who was behind her, looked at her back with a calculating look in her eyes.She turned her head and said to Jinrou: "After going back for a while, you go and find Lu Mou to meet me."

Jinrou said in a low voice: "Yes."

I asked the princess for instructions, but the princess didn't stop her, and only asked her to ask the Lord how well, and Mu Qingxi respectfully agreed.

Sitting in a sedan chair, he left the palace and followed the long street all the way back to the Anlehou Mansion. Looking at the red bricks and green tiles, Mu Qingxi suddenly had a feeling of reunion after a long absence.

Since returning home, he hasn't been back for nearly two months. This mansion, where he lived for half a month, has a feeling of nostalgia.

Lan Xiang went up to knock on the door, but the doorkeeper saw a young girl and didn't recognize her. Lan Xiang said softly, "I am the personal servant girl of Prince Fanyang, and my name is Lan Xiang. The reason why the princess came back today is to Looking for Master Hou."

When the doorkeeper heard that it was his eldest lady, he ran out quickly, bowed in front of the sedan chair and said, "Miss is well, Master Hou went to Qingxin temple early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet."

Mu Qingxi nodded, and said directly in the sedan chair: "Understood, then I won't go down, I will go directly to Qingxinguan to find him."

She ordered the bearer to get up the sedan chair, and went directly to the Qingxin Temple.

It just so happened that what she wanted was there anyway, so there was no need to make two trips.

The Qingxin Temple was built in a very remote location on the outskirts of Beijing. By the time we got here, the sun was already high.

Even though Mu Qingxi was sitting in the sedan chair, she was covered in sweat.

After stepping out of the sedan chair, she looked around. Although she couldn't see the green water, at least it was surrounded by green trees, so it was a good place to go.

The Pure Heart Temple is not very big. A little Taoist priest was sweeping the floor in front of the door. Seeing them walking over, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing, feeling a little dazed.
