Through the struggle of farming

After lunch, Lu Jinliu went to the blacksmith to fetch things and made an appointment to pick them up in two days before returning to the village. He still had some things to do.

As a result, the Lu family has started to suffer bad luck these days!

Lu Dacai got up at night and tripped Liu Caifen and fell out of bed together; Lu Jinfu and his brothers went to play by the river, and they almost drowned; Liu Hongxia and Wang Xiaohuan burned their hands when they were cooking; Lu Jinxiang and Lu Jinxin sat on a stool The stool collapsed inexplicably...not to mention the sudden fall, the only one who was fine was Lu Guozi!For a while, the Lu family was suspicious!

As for Lu Jinliu, he is actually quite busy.In order to have a high temperature when baking, he changed the stove and separated two rooms, and sealed the rest, leaving only a small door next to the fire.After the built stove was completely cooled and set, Lu Jinliu started working.

He is going to bake cranberry cookies and cakes.In Qiyuan County, which is close to the outside of the customs, there is butter for sale at thirty renminbi a catty.It’s just that this product is expensive, and people don’t know how to eat it, and there is no market, otherwise Lu Jinliu can also sell butter, he knows how to do it!I just thought it would be troublesome to do it myself, so I finally bought two catties and went home.

Lu Jinliu firstly ground the white sugar into fine powder, then mixed the butter and powdered sugar evenly, then added the beaten egg liquid in stages and mixed well. After mixing, add the flour at the end and knead into a dough.There is no refrigerator here and there is no way to freeze it. Lu Jinliu saved this step. He made a rectangular template with wood to shape the biscuits, and then put the oiled paper on the baking tray to arrange the biscuits and start baking.

While waiting, Lu Jinliu found two clean and dry pots and filled them with egg whites and egg yolks respectively. Added butter, sugar and flour into the egg yolk pots and stirred them well. Then added sugar to the egg whites three times and beat until semi-condensed. Pour into the egg yolk basin three times and mix well, and pour the two basins back and forth once.Pour the batter into the prepared mold, which is made of pared bamboo and then covered with oiled paper, and then it can wait for baking.

Being bored, Lu Jinliu made simple finger biscuits again, just use oiled paper to make a piping bag.

After it was finished, Lu Jinliu brought the finished product and the oven modification drawing into the county town, and he went to Liu's house first.He still lacks understanding of some things in this time and space. It is a good thing to have an elder to ask.

In the small courtyard of the Liu family, several people formed a circle.Liu Shenglin and Zhao Meishu tasted it carefully, and they could tell Lu Jinliu whether there was a market for these things, and Liu Changmao was his main object of help, and only Liu Hanjin was happy to eat on his own.

"It's very novel, and the most important thing is that it's delicious. You won't get tired of eating it every day," Liu Shenglin squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, but Lu Jinliu didn't take it seriously. In his heart, Liu Shenglin and Liu Hanjin are on the same level.

"Well, it's really good, but it's too fresh. The taste is not inferior to pastries!" Zhao Meishu spoke.

"Well, what parents said is right, brother, will you do it again in the future?" Liu Hanjin's cry of brother was much more sincere.

"Of course, Jin'er can eat whatever he wants? There will be other delicious food in the future." Lu Jinliu began to think about what delicious food he can make now.

"With this, if you want to open a store, it is more than enough. Why would you want to sell recipes?" Liu Changmao was puzzled.

Lu Jinliu hesitated and remained silent.Qiyuan County is close to the border and is prone to wars, so it is not Lu Jinliu's ideal place to live.And as far as he knows, there will be some disasters from time to time, that is, the geographical location is not very good.Besides, although the outside of the Great Wall has been subdued, the two clans have not communicated, so sooner or later there will still be wars, and Lu Jinliu wants to move.

But since the ancients paid attention to relocating the land and relocating the fallen leaves to their roots, the Liu family may not understand.Secondly, he hasn't found a good place to live yet, and he also has this consideration when he wants to go out to run a business. The communication in ancient times is really underdeveloped, so he can only do field inspections by himself.Besides, besides these, if he wants to open a restaurant, he also has other novelty things, he doesn't really care about these.

"Forget it, the appearance of this biscuit cake can shake the current position of pastries. You have no power and power and can't completely hold on to it." Seeing that Lu Jinliu didn't want to say it, Liu Changmao didn't force him, "You can go to Liu Ji to see, this Liu Ji listens It is said that the owner is from the capital city, the business is quite big, and the background is also strong. He is a kind person! These three recipes of yours are novel and cheap and can be sold for 20 taels each. If there are similar recipes in the future, they may not be able to sell. The price has been raised. The main thing is the picture of the oven, which should sell for at least 1000 taels!"

"1000 taels?" Lu Jinliu was a little surprised, but he knew the prices in this place.

Even Liu Shenglin looked at him with a look like Dad, are you crazy?

"Ignorant," Liu Changmao was annoyed, and glared at his son, "If this Liu Ji was the only store, he wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price. But he can sell this thing all over the world, and the profit is beyond what you can imagine."

Liu Shenglin touched his nose, ignorance was also raised by you, but what he was interested in was just thinking about it in his heart.

"After dinner, I'll go to Liu's Mansion with you."

"Thank you, grandpa." In fact, Lu Jinliu can also do it himself.It's just that he is just a half-grown child in the eyes of outsiders, not as convincing as Liu Changmao.Besides, Liu Changmao was also kind, and he could save unnecessary trouble and not refute the kindness of the old man, why would Lu Jinliu not do it?

"But Xiao Niu, your clothes don't suit you well. I made you a suit two days ago, try it on and see if it fits you well?" Zhao Meishu entered the back room with a smile.

Lu Jinliu was a little embarrassed, he was so busy these days that he didn't have time.Besides, clothes are just a facade. When he was in the Lu family, the clothes they wore for him were not junk, so he didn't think about changing them to new ones.The coat is okay, but it is a bit whitish after washing, but the inner coat has several patches!However, the ready-to-wear clothes sold here are all outerwear, and the inner garments are usually made by family members. Single men will ask older women who get along well to make them.Zhao Meishu's appearance also saved him trouble.

The inner garment is made of high-quality cotton, and the outer garment is made of sky blue brocade, which is simple and elegant, and Lu Jinliu likes it very much.

"This one hasn't been embroidered yet, brother, I'll help you embroider, what kind of flowers do you like?" Liu Hanjin looked at the plain coat, thinking about the snacks that have been incessantly for the past two days, and also wants to help him do something!

Lu Jinliu twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the purse still in the box in the room, he really couldn't guarantee that Liu Hanjin's embroidered flowers would be successful.What's more, what kind of flower does he want for a big man!

"Yeah, I haven't had time to embroider yet! I wanted to wait two days, but I can wear it now, and I'll make you a nice one next time!" Zhao Meishu patted Liu Hanjin and gave him a serious look. How can you make clothes for men casually?

"Thank you step-mother!" Lu Jinliu actually wanted to refuse, but thinking about it, if there was another plain one, Liu Hanjin would insist on embroidering it... It's better to have embroidery!

In the afternoon, Liu Changmao took Lu Jinliu to the Liu Mansion.After the servant informed, he was quickly welcomed into the door.

"Hey, aren't you the bear hunting boy?" It was Liu Qin, the steward who bought the bear, who came out to pick him up.

"Yeah, it's just a fluke!" Lu Jinliu said modestly.

"There is no fluke in such a thing, the younger generation is awesome! I wonder who you two are?"

"Junior in the family, he is actually the one who came here to do business this time, and my old man is just enjoying the glory." Liu Changmao stroked his beard cheerfully.

Liu Qin was surprised, but he wisely didn't inquire about anything else.He only brought the two of them into the living room, and went to talk to Master Liu, Liu Fanzhi. Liu Fanzhi also looked at Lu Jinliu in surprise.

"I don't know what business you two want to do with me?"

"The younger generation in the family invented a novel food, and specially brought it to shopkeeper Liu!"

Lu Jinliu handed the food box he brought over to the servant next to him.

After Liu Fanzhi ate everything, he put down his hands calmly. "You two want to sell this formula?"

Both Lu Jinliu and Liu Changmao nodded.

"This thing is good, and my old man is not stingy, how about three recipes, 50 taels of silver each?" Liu Fanzhi's eyes flashed.

He also said that the Liu family is kind, and the recipe is sold for 50 taels. Doesn’t it mean that the oven can’t be sold and can only be given away?Lu Jinliu was amused.

"Shopkeeper Liu was joking. In fact, the formula of this product is a trivial matter. What we mainly sell is another product." Liu Changmao is not a vegetarian after doing business for so many years, and he can see the pitfalls at a glance.

"Oh?" Liu Fanzhi picked up the teacup a little disappointed, it really wasn't that easy to get it!

"Shopkeeper Liu has sharp eyes. You must be able to see that this is a new method of making, right? These three kinds of food are all made in this way. Master, you can also make finished products with other ingredients. That's the most important thing!" Liu Changmao smiled, but didn't answer his words.

"Brother, let me just say how much the price is." Liu Fanzhi put down his teacup. This Liu Changmao is considered a celebrity in the county, and he traveled all over the country when he was young.Liu Fanzhi knew that he was not easy to be fooled, so he simply proposed directly.

"The shopkeeper is refreshing, this recipe and the three formulas cost a total of 500 taels." Liu Changmao stopped practicing Tai Chi and directly bid.

"One thousand five hundred taels, brother Liu, are you joking?"

"Of course not. This is just our Qinzhou, which can earn a lot even if it's not considered prosperous. It's not uncommon for shopkeeper Liu to be in charge of Qinzhou's business. Besides, Liu Ji is not only in Qinzhou. This recipe was given to Liu Ji. This is Liu Ji's unique business!"

Liu Fanzhi knocked on the table, thought about it, and agreed after a while.

"It's just that since it's Liu Ji's exclusive business, there's no reason to resell it to others, and you can't run this business anymore!"

"Of course my old man understands this truth. It's just that I, a junior, may need it to make a living in the future! But we promise to open at most one store, and only retail." Liu Changmao thought about it and left a way.

Liu Fanzhi readily agreed, it's just a store, and Liu Ji can't really open it all over Daxing!

After that, the two parties signed the contract and had a meal.Liu Fanzhi also promised that if Lu Jinliu came up with a new formula, he could sell it to Liu Ji, but he wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price. There is a tacit understanding between the two sides on this matter!

In short, in the end, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.It was getting late after we left, so Lu Jinliu stayed at Liu's house to rest!
