Adorable Food Goddess

As soon as Ye Jiayao arrived at Tianshangju, she was busy, and today she was going to conduct experiments on extracting agar and cream.

Zhong Xiang bought all the Eucheuma agaricus and Gracilaria in the market, and it was a big cart.

I startled Guanshi Qian, and later heard that it was Li Yao who wanted to use it, so I ignored it.

Let's work together to wash these dishes, and then add alkali to soak them. The big pots fill the yard in front of the kitchen.

Ye Jiayao and Zhong Xiang were extracting the butter at the stove, and Deng Haichuan was in charge of lighting the fire. After the milk boiled, a layer of fat floated on it. Ye Jiayao carefully fished it out with a fine gauze bag, and then scooped it out after solidification.

Zhong Xiang watched from the side, frowned and said, It seems that the cost of extracting these two things is a bit high, can the remade things be worth the price?

Ye Jiayao said: Don't worry, it's absolutely worth it, and it will make a lot of money.

These days, who has eaten ice cream mooncakes, who has seen crystal mooncakes?

She wasn't worried about that at all.

By the way, there is an ice cellar in the city, right?

Zhong Xiang said: Yes, there are sixteen ice cellars, twelve of which are government-run for the imperial palace and princes and ministers, and four are private-run for shared use by rich people.

Then, is the official ice for sale?

Ye Jiayao knows that the quality of ice in government-run ice cellars and private ice cellars is different. Most government-run ice cellars use brick kilns, and the ice stored is relatively pure, while private ones are generally earthen kilns, so the quality of ice is difficult to guarantee. Basically, they are satisfied with heatstroke prevention Cooling effect, or freezing food.

Of course the government-run ones are also sold, but ordinary people are not qualified to buy them. Even the government-run ones have a fixed number of ice cubes. However, some rich and noble families have small ice cellars in their houses to store ice for their own use. It’s just that there are not many of them.” Zhong Xiang knew quite a lot.

Then how do you sell the ice cubes run by the people?

Depending on the weather, if it's very hot, a hundred catties of ice can be sold for ten taels of silver, usually around five taels of silver. Why, do you need ice to make this thing? Zhong Xiang clicked his tongue. How precious.

Ye Jiayao said: It's just for preserving food, you can find someone to buy a hundred catties of ice, it should be enough.

For the time being, I will use private ones first, and then I will find government-run ice cellars to buy ice when new products are developed.

Out of the four barrels of milk that Deng Haichuan brought, the extracted cream was only a small pot.

Deng Haichuan said: Then what about the milk?

Don't worry, it won't be wasted. Ye Jiayao said: Go and tell the shopkeeper Qian, add a few drinks to the menu today, iced double milk, iced pink lady, iced fairy peach milk.

Cui Dongpeng, go and buy twenty catties of bananas, and come back with seven or eight big watermelons.

Brother Xiang, help me mix glutinous rice flour with tomato juice, green vegetable juice, and purple cabbage juice to make glutinous rice balls smaller than a fingernail.

Call Xiao Lu and Ah Xing to recommend these drinks today.

Ye Jiayao gave orders in an orderly manner, that's all it takes to be the chef, and she has the final say on everything in the kitchen.

Shopkeeper Li heard that there were several drinks added to the menu today, all of which were iced, so he couldn't help but smiled. On such a hot day, it's very refreshing to have a glass of iced drinks. I don't know these drinks that Li Yao introduced How does it taste, especially this pink lady dish, really makes people imagine and look forward to it.

So shopkeeper Li came to the kitchen to find out.

I saw Wang Mingde and Cui Dongpeng pounding things there. Looking over, one was pounding banana puree, the other was pounding watermelon juice, and Zhong Xiang was making small glutinous rice balls of different colors.

Li Yao, what about Pink Lady? Shopkeeper Li couldn't help asking curiously.

Ye Jiayao pointed at Cui Dongpeng: Here, isn't that what you're doing?

Shopkeeper Li is dripping sweat, he is a good boy, he is used to making gimmicks, and with such a flamboyant name, the result is a cup of watermelon milk, will the guests rebel? Never mind him, as long as the money is earned.

Unsurprisingly, all the guests who came here at noon today ordered drinks. Few restaurants offer drinks. Even if there are, the most common ones are iced sour plum juice or iced white fungus and lotus seed soup. , the names of these drinks look very novel, especially the pink lady, which is quite looking forward to.

Soon, Xiao Er brought up drinks.

Shuanghua Milk is served in a fine Longquan celadon bowl, Pink Lady is served in a precious crystal bowl, and Xiantao Milk is served in an exquisite pastel bowl with a white background.

It looks very refined and high-grade at first glance.

Looking at the appearance, Shuangshua milk is slightly yellow in color, smells like milk and a hint of banana, pink beauty, the color is pink like peach petals, very attractive, Xiantao milk is pure white milk There are yellow peaches cut into small cubes, which are yellow and white, which is also refreshing.

Scooping it with a small silver spoon, I found that there is still a mystery hidden underneath, a small crystal glutinous rice dumpling of different colors.

Tasting carefully, the double-smooth milk is silky and smooth in the mouth, and the combination of the two flavors has a mellow taste, and it is chilled, which is particularly refreshing.

And the pink lady, the fusion of milk and watermelon juice, is as fresh as the twenty-eight-year-old lady,

There are also glutinous rice dumplings, which look cute and pleasing, and are flexible and chewy when eaten.

A tael of silver and a small bowl are definitely worth the money.

All the people living in the sky, from shopkeeper Li to the waiters in the waiter, waited anxiously for the reaction of the first customer who ordered a drink.

Only Ye Jiayao didn't seem to care, and focused on cooking.

After a while, Ah Xing came out of the private room with a smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Li went up to meet him: How is it?

Ah Xing gave a thumbs up: A few guests want another serving.

Shopkeeper Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, Go quickly.

When the news spread to the kitchen, everyone cheered. Brother Yao still had more ideas, which not only solved the remaining milk, but also made a lot of money. The admiration for Li Yao is simply indescribable.

Ye Jiayao twitched her lips, this is the simplest drink, and when my old lady makes ice cream, you will be so hungry. How much is it worth selling at that time? Argendaz is so expensive, but people still eat it. This thing must take the high-end and high-end route. To become a fashion and a status symbol, it must be unaffordable for ordinary people, so everyone flocks to it.

For one lunch, a full sixty-nine bowls of drinks were sold, and in the afternoon, customers came to the store one after another, especially for drinks, and another twenty bowls were sold, which shows that the news spread quickly.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes were almost invisible from the smile.

Ye Jiayao said: Treasurer Li, there should be enough leftover ingredients to make seventy or eighty bowls, but today I paid for the milk and fruit by myself.

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, How many restaurants have you used to pay the bill? It will start tomorrow, and what materials to buy will be paid by the restaurant.

Ye Jiayao counted: There are three barrels of milk, six taels of silver per barrel, and the fare is twenty taels, fruit costs five taels, ice cubes cost five taels, and unicorn vegetables and so on. Eight taels, plus the fare...

Come on, don't forget it, you can pay fifty taels of silver to the account. Shopkeeper Li said generously, but Li Yao thought of a good way for him to earn money and increase his reputation. Three times as much, is there a more cost-effective business than this?

Ye Jiayao didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so forthright and gave her a few more taels of silver. However, the shopkeeper was the one who made the most of the money, so she readily accepted it and bought a few more clothes.

Li Yao, prepare more materials tomorrow, and more people will come. Treasurer Li specially urged.

People in Jinling City like to catch up with fresh food, there is no good food, everyone's nose and ears are very good.

I am afraid that three or four hundred bowls will be sold tomorrow.

Brother Yao, Prince Jing Xiao is looking for you. Ah Xing came to report.

Ye Jiayao said hello to shopkeeper Li: I have a count, but it's best not to sell too much, two hundred bowls a day, and there will be no more after it's over, so that everyone will feel that this product is expensive, and it's not something you can eat casually. If you don’t get it, you have to eat more, and then come every day, not only drink but also eat, shopkeeper, do you think so? I’ll go down first.”

Shopkeeper Li was stunned, thinking about these words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Li Yao said was very reasonable, human nature is like this, what is easy is not cherished, and what is rare is precious. Be good, this kid is more experienced in business than him.

In fact, Ye Jiayao still has a lot of business experience, she can't teach others all, she still wants to open a restaurant herself!

My lord, why are you here? In front of outsiders, Ye Jiayao was still very disciplined, calling her what she should.

He Lianjing's eyes flickered: I have something to do with you.

He slipped out after a lot of trouble, and he didn't stay for long, he was so depressed recently, he felt like a thief if he slipped out for a while. How good it was before, you can come whenever you want, and it doesn’t matter how long you stay.

Ye Jiayao said to Ah Xing: Let Brother Xiang make a bowl of double smooth milk and charge it to my account.

The two went to Fuqu Pavilion to talk.

He Lianjing has been thinking almost all day, how should he ask, he really hates himself for being so suspicious, like a resentful woman in a boudoir, really annoying, but he just can't convince himself, Zhao Qixuan's analysis is logical, after all, in Zhao Qixuan has a say in this aspect.

Da Yaoyao, I came here in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't have time to ask, how are you doing these few days? He Lianjing asked hesitantly.

I'm fine, I'll let you try my newly developed double-slip milk later. Ye Jiayao squinted and said with a smile, muttering in her heart, there seems to be something wrong with Xiao Jingjing!

He Lianjing hesitated and asked: You fell into the water the day before yesterday, are you really all right?

Ye Jiayao spread her hands: Don't you think I'm fine?

Then... who saved you? I must thank him.

Ye Jiayao twitched her lips: It's Jing'an Hou Shizi, just passing by.

It was the donkey who saved her. Although she couldn't remember what happened, she believed that if it wasn't for him, she would not have fallen into the river.

He Lianjing said in a daze, Oh, so it's Brother Chunyu! What a coincidence.

Ye Jiayao said awkwardly, That's right, it's quite a coincidence.

No wonder Zhao Qixuan said that I saw your brother Chunyu taking a night tour of the Qinhuai River last night. I thought he was talking nonsense! He Lianjing carefully observed Dayaoyao's expression.
