Chapter 449 Keeping an Appointment
Chapter 449 Keeping an Appointment
Make all the pastries you know how to make first, and initially sell them in limited quantities and for a limited time each day.
In this way, we can ensure the workload and the mystery of the pastries.
If the business is good and we get good feedback, we can start researching food classes.
There were only two types of food courses she could think of, one was pastry class and the other was cooking class.
An Yue wrote these two points down in a small notebook, waiting to put them into practice step by step.
She knew that this was a brand new challenge and could also be an important step on her road to becoming a wealthy woman.
In the past, in the 21st century, she would think about all kinds of delicious food whenever she had free time.
I often watch short videos to learn how to make various cakes, rice cakes, breads, and various dishes, just to be able to taste the flavor I want.
But I didn't expect that I had only learned the tip of the iceberg of various culinary skills and was transported to this dynasty for no reason.
The sunlight outside the window gradually sets in the west, and the soft light shines into the room, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.
An Yue put down her pen, stretched herself, and decided to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything else they needed to do together.
When I walked into the kitchen, Chunzhi and my aunt Zhang were still busy.
An Yue smiled and said, "Everyone is exhausted today. After dinner, let's rest early."
Chunzhi raised her head and walked to An Yue, smiled and leaned close to An Yue's ear and asked: "Miss, that young master of the Lin family seems to be..."
After hearing this, An Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and started tickling Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, stop talking nonsense, or I'll teach you a lesson today."
Chunzhi dodged with a smile and begged for mercy, "Miss, I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."
Only then did An Yue stop and looked at Chunzhi with pretended anger.
Aunt Zhang, who was standing by, watched An Yue and Chun Zhi playing around. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Be careful not to fall."
After tidying up the house, the family went to the back mountain and worked on composting with Daniu Ale and others.
An hour later.
It started to get dark.
Meng Xiuer and her grandmother prepared to heat up the leftover food from lunch.
......
After dinner.
The whole family lay in bed and fell asleep peacefully.
The nights in the first month of the lunar year are as cold as a blade.
The yard was pitch black, and gusts of cold wind were howling, making a heart-pounding sound.
An Yue tossed and turned in her bed, the plan recorded in the little notebook constantly emerging in her mind.
She was recalling the pastries she had made in the 21st century, the various steps and recipes.
Time passed by breath by breath, and she didn't know how much time had passed before she fell asleep.
......
During the first month of the year, when the family was free, they would plan to go to the fields to weed and dig the soil.
An Yue and Meng Xiu'er are at home, making various pastries every day.
There were no modern tools and materials in this dynasty, but Anyue still produced a satisfactory product with her own experience and creativity.
She successfully made rice cakes and date cakes.
But I failed many times in making the cake and spent a lot of money on buying sugar and flour.
In this dynasty, there was no equipment for beating egg whites, so people could only beat egg whites manually with chopsticks.
An Yue beats egg whites by hand twice a day, and her arms become so tired and weak that she feels sore.
I failed several times because I didn't whip the cake enough, and the cake I made was solid, flat and not soft enough.
Fortunately, it was finally done. Although the taste is slightly different from the cake made in the 21st century, it was still a success overall.
Time always passes quietly, and in the blink of an eye it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
This morning.
After the family had breakfast, the brother and sister changed into clean clothes.
Prepare to go to the county town to visit Lin Hua's home and watch the lantern festival.
An Yue tied up the rice cakes and cakes she had just made yesterday with paper and put them in the basket on her back.
The whole family gathered around them, and Daniu said, "Miss, let me, me, or Ale, take you and the young master to the county town, shall we?"
Chunzhi at the side also responded: "Yes, Miss, you can let one of them drive the mule cart and go together!"
The eldest aunt added with a worried look on her face: "You two are small, and you are going to the county town to watch the lantern festival tonight. I don't think you will be able to come back tonight. If someone goes with you, we will feel more at ease."
After thinking for a moment, An Yue said, "But in the shop..."
Before An Yue could finish, her aunt said, "Oh, don't worry, we are here in the shop, don't worry!"
An Yue thought to herself, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it seems that all the rich people have gone to the county town to watch the lantern festival, so there shouldn't be many customers in the shop.
Besides, with Axia Erzhu and Cui Niang helping in the shop, there is enough manpower.
So she nodded and said, "That's fine. But we're driving the mule cart to the county town, so you have to close your shop early and go home."
The aunt smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, I got it! Don't worry, Yueyue!"
After An Yue agreed, Da Niu quickly walked to the backyard, led out the horses and mules, and put them on the cart rack.
After the family had packed up, they pulled the mule cart to the road and everyone got on.
Daniu waved his whip and prepared to go to town.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the town.
My aunt and grandmother, Chunzhi Ale got off the mule cart.
They said a brief goodbye to the siblings and Da Niu, and then Da Niu waved his whip again and set off for the county town.
As soon as you walk out of Shijing Town, you will see various horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carts lined up heading to the county town.
The Lantern Festival was indeed lively. An Yue only felt that there were extra many people going to the county town today.
......
The road was swaying along because there were so many horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carriages.
Normally, it only takes half an hour to go to the county town, but today, it took an entire hour to get on the road.
It was almost 9 o'clock when the mule cart arrived at the county town.
The county town is really bustling, with colorful lanterns hanging everywhere.
An Yue and the other two drove the mule cart straight to the house that Lin Hua had told her about.
When I arrived at the house, I saw the door was closed.
Looking around, the door knocker on the gate already had traces of knocking on the door.
Da Niu walked forward and knocked on the door knocker a few times.
After a while, the door was slowly opened.
A man who looked like a servant poked his head out and asked, "Excuse me, who are you..."
An Yue stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am An Yue, and I am here as a guest at the invitation of Uncle Lin."
When the servant heard this, he hurriedly and respectfully welcomed them into the courtyard.
The brother and sister walked into the yard, and the servant directed An Yue and her brother to the reception room.
Then the servant led the oxen pulling the mule cart to their stable.
An Yue came to the yard and calmly glanced at the layout of the yard.
There is a simple rockery pond in the yard, with various flowers, plants and trees planted beside it.
The entire courtyard does not look as spacious as the courtyard of Zhao Hongyi's house.
But due to the different layout styles between them, the Lin family courtyard appears to be well-organized and has a more down-to-earth feel.
