These are all learned from Wang Yue, learning skills from decent people, learning to be a man from a crazy woman, Lin Yue learned to be a man straight from the Wang family.
Li Yu stayed at Wang's house for one night before leaving. Today, she is going to visit the farm. Her brother is so busy that he doesn't have time to go about the general affairs. She checks for her mother's property and checks the surrounding villages and towns to see if refugees are safe. Or tell Dad.
Gu Lei prepared a carriage and waited for her at the door.
I specially wore a new cloak today, royal blue satin, brand new thin material just right to block the wind in the morning and evening.
"Still riding in a carriage, I thought about riding a horse faster."
"It won't slow down much, don't get sick sooner or later."
I felt very hot when I got on the carriage, Li Yu looked at it, "Are you making new changes?"
"Yes, you can put a smoker under this seat. Adding two more smokers will make you warmer in winter. The chimney goes out, and wool felt can be pasted on the four sides so that there is no air leakage. They have made a small improvement. It is too expensive to use iron all the time. , changed to use iron for key positions, and wood for other places.”
The carriage has undergone a new modification, the price is doubled, but the comfort has been improved. Some weapons and concealed weapon mechanisms have been removed, and the interior decoration of the carriage has been added. A small cabinet with small drawers.
If the female relatives do not go out of the city, there is no need to install so many weapons on the carriage. It is enough to keep one or two places for defense. The disassembled parts are made into small cabinets to store things.
"It's really good, this job is getting better and better."
Li Yu looked around and found that the tea-burning cage has also been newly modified. Not to mention convenient, it can also be used for baking pancakes and warming tea, etc.
There is also a small cabinet next to the seat, with a small drawer, which contains tea, and in the cabinet are two bundles, which are clothes, shoes, socks and bamboo hats, to protect against rain and snow.
"You have received so many orders, everyone must work hard, not to mention that my family will learn carpentry with me, many sons have jobs and can earn some money, so they don't have to be idle at home, and their spirits are lifted. Thank you very much. "
Li Yu used his contacts back and forth to pull a lot of orders for the agency, such as horse-drawn carts, waterwheels, trebuchets, etc. Princess Ye was very generous. She was the first to place an order and bought a lot of things, and other companies followed suit.
The little sisters and classmates in the school all bought carriage weapons, hidden weapons and other things, and these lists were all brought by her.
One is good to use, and others are willing to buy it. Xie's family visited the library when they got married, and they fell in love with this Linglong library at first sight. After talking about it for a few times, they decided to buy this.
The most important things for a powerful family are people and books. Other things can be discarded if they have to make a choice. The library is simply too important to them.
The Xie family wanted to buy it, and the Yang family heard that they would also buy it. The structure of this bookstore is very complicated, and it is a big order.
Li Yu needs to personally follow and guide, which can make the Li family a lot of money.
At present, there is really not enough manpower, and the elites are closely watching the mechanism manufacturing. Boss Li simply waved his hand and said, five apprentices from each family will come to learn the craft, and the rest will come to work.
Every family is willing to say that it has nothing to do with your family if you can’t learn enough. It’s our fault and we don’t blame you.
Although I know that I will definitely not be able to learn the essence, it is okay to gain insight, and it is also a skill to learn a little bit.
"You have to thank me, it's heartbreaking."
Li Yu glanced at him, pouted and complained.
Gu Lei squinted his eyes and smiled, pinching her little face, "What do you want, I will definitely take care of you."
"Tomorrow, you can find someone to collect the things from the Zhuangzi in the military camp. The vegetables have been harvested abundantly. There are not enough people in the Zhuangzi to work, and there are still fruits to make wine. I plan to make some sugar water for preservation."
Gu Lei nodded.
"Have I got all the materials for the greenhouse?"
"We've started to make them. Two of them have been made on the Zhuangzi. One big one is enough for our two families in the yard."
"Okay, let me try and see how many seedlings can be produced in winter."
"What do you want to grow?"
"Taro, sweet potatoes, rice and millet, and some side dishes, these can also be given as gifts in winter."
Grains and fresh winter vegetables are also a beautiful gift. For example, the rice in Sichuan is better, and the wheat in the north is also very good.
In addition to grain, silk gold and silver are also hard currencies.
Officials’ salaries are not only silver, but also rice. Generally, there is a small amount of rice, and most of them are yellow rice and millet.
"Okay, I'll go and find you some good seeds. There are a few varieties of side dishes. There are really not many dishes in winter."
"If the greenhouse can produce vegetables, our restaurant can have two more dishes in winter."
"That's true. Our restaurant is considered stable, but now it's full of customers, and we often can't reserve a box."
"The main reason is that the craftsmanship is good, and the craftsmanship of the imperial chef is not something to boast about."
The restaurant is decorated with pictures drawn by Li Yuhe Wang, which gives the chef full play and serves special menus according to the season.
In addition to ordering your favorite dishes, you can also ask the chef to arrange for you, and set the menu for you according to the season and the preferences of the guests, which will have unexpected surprises.
Generally, custom-made menus are more expensive than recipes, and they need to be greeted in advance. Some complex dishes need to be prepared half a month in advance.
The chef is a relative of the Li family. He works hard and does not play tricks. He is also a relative of his children and nephews with his apprentices.
Half of the meat and vegetables in the restaurant are produced in their own farm, combined with the Gu family and Lin Yue and other farms, and a small part is the ingredients bought by others, and the dried seafood is bought by their own boat, which saves a lot of cost. If it is less, it will be able to pay back next year.
Li Yu made a cup of tea, ginseng and red date tea in the cabinet.
Drinking sweet, tastes good.
These are all prepared by her in advance. They are wrapped in oiled paper into a small bag, and the amount of a pot of tea is one bag, which is convenient for use.
There is also osmanthus oolong, and the brown sugar is also in the size of a chess piece. It should be filled with **** powder, but Li Yu doesn't like ginger, so Gu Lei asked people to remove the ginger.
There are also millet paste and rice paste in the cabinet, which can be drunk with boiling water, stir-fried in a pan, and the color changes slightly, and they are crushed into powder with a stone and put in a jar, which is convenient for eating.
"What were you busy with in the kitchen, and you don't know how to cook."
Li Yu doesn't know how to cook, and female celebrities are also relatively poor, not even up to the average level.
"I want to make dry noodles. I saw someone make dried noodles and put them in the pot for a while before they are cooked. It is convenient. I want to try it too."
"It's not easy to do."
"I haven't succeeded yet, but I have made the stuffed buns. I made two kinds, butter and vegetable oil. The sheep fat is not tasty and the taste is too big. The marinated stuffed buns made of butter are very fragrant."
