The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Chapter 129 Pointing at the nose and scolding

"No. Concubine Wang." King Qian leaned over the desk, leaning towards Xia Jing, with a bit of rogue potential, and he refused to leave when asked.

He said in a negotiating tone: "Princess, let's discuss this matter again. You see, ice may not be considered precious in the northern aristocratic circle, but it is definitely a rare item in Lingnan. You only have limitations in doing business in Fucheng. If you cooperate with this king, then you can spread your business to all over the country, and then you can count your money at home every month without worrying about it, what a bargain!"

Xia Jing looked at him, not to mention that he admired this old dude's face, how could he be so thick.

"Originally, I could do an exclusive business, but now you want to share half of my money, but you still shamelessly say that it is a good deal. I think the most cost-effective deal should be you, if you want to play tricks in front of me, you will cheat me away." Money-making idea!"

King Qian did not expect Xia Jing to react in such a way, which surprised him somewhat, and even made him feel aggrieved, "How can this be called cheating? You come up with ideas and this king contributes, and the two sides cooperate to achieve a win-win situation. Using the word cheating is a bit of a joke." It's not appropriate."

Xia Jing doesn't follow his tricks at all, it can be said that she doesn't like oil and salt, she shakes her head without thinking about what he said: "Don't use the same thing you use in front of other women on me, my old lady will not be tempted by you. "

He said the old lady's vulgar words again, and there were veins throbbing faintly on King Qian's forehead. He stared and emphasized: "My princess, this is a win-win situation, a win-win situation!"

Xia Jing doesn't care whether he wins or not, as long as King Qian and his sons come to attack her, it's wrong, "You even want to snatch me, a housewife's way of making money, it's simply despicable and shameless, there is no limit!"

King Qian was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes. Some time ago, when he saw Xia Jing's behavior in the world, he thought she had changed and became a reasonable person. He didn't expect that she would return to her original self after a little provocation. She was still the unreasonable and tricky girl she used to be!

He pointed at her with trembling fingers, "You long-haired but short-sighted woman, you don't want to earn money, are you trying to piss me off? You are simply stupid and hopeless!"

Who dares to act arrogantly in front of her, Xia Jing can be more arrogant than him, I saw her leaning back on the chair, tilting her neck back slightly, and said arrogantly, "None of your business, my mother's own ideas, what are you thinking?" When you make money, you make money when you want. I think you have someone. The more than 1000 people in my mother’s personal guard camp are not just for food, but also their family members. It can be said that as long as I want to open an ice shop, there will be countless if I arrange it. People want to work for me."

In the end, she snorted coldly at King Qian in anger, "Tell me, why does my old lady give you half of the money instead of someone who uses you instead?"

Just because you rolled over the sheets with the original body?It's a pity that Xia Jing didn't buy it.

King Qian stood up angrily, pointed at her, "You, you are simply unreasonable!"

With that said, he flung his sleeves and walked away!
Hongmei watched the angry King Qian leave the yard, she turned around and entered the main room, and saw Xia Jing was already lazily leaning on the soft couch.

She walked over helplessly, and helped change a glass of juice, "Why do you deliberately make the prince angry?"

Xia Jing said coldly: "I'm warning him, don't get carried away and become my master, it's not his turn to decide my master."

If she seriously emphasizes this point, it will easily hurt the face of the two of them.

Now that the two are still a husband and wife in name, their interests are tied together. In order to cooperate better in the future, she can only destroy her image and mess around.

In this way, it will not hurt each other's face, and it will prevent King Qian from taking her idea, and prevent him from always being her master in the future.

After this incident, he will definitely weigh it carefully before making a decision on anything involving her in the future.

Hongmei frowned slightly, "You pissed off the prince, isn't it cheaper for the other rooms?"

Although the prince has several concubines, the only advantage is that the concubines are not young. Compared with the concubine, the concubine is younger.

The original advantage was taken by the concubine in this way, and the prince's heart returned to several concubines.

Hongmei remembered that since the princess came back from the coffin, the prince almost never stayed overnight with the princess.

Whenever she thought of this, she would panic and worry about the princess.

It's too worrying to have a master who doesn't compete for favor.

Xia Jing rolled her eyes at her, and pointed to Bai Mei who was sitting in the cubicle, "You should learn from her. I am not in a hurry as a righteous master. Why are you in a hurry? Why don't you go and see what I asked you to soak in time? Are the soybeans ready to soak?"

After hearing this, Hongmei said a little embarrassedly: "What the concubine taught me is that the slaves will go now."

After a while, Hongmei came back again.

"Princess, the soybeans have been soaked and the stone mill has been cleaned. Do you want to grind the pulp next?"

Baimei came out from the cubicle, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Princess, let the servants do the grinding."

"There are a lot of poor women working in the kitchen, so you don't need your thin arms and legs to do the work." Xia Jing stood up, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

The three master and servant went out of the main house, and saw the wooden barrel placed on the porch, the soaked soybeans in the barrel had completely swelled.

Xia Jing asked her mother-in-law to pick up the bucket, and the master and servant went to the big kitchen in the backyard together.

Because there is a stone mill in the big kitchen.

Xia Jing has been in this era for so long, and has never seen the dish of tofu on the table. After asking, she found out that tofu has not been made in this era.

It's right to think about it. In this era, the food is crudely made, and the chef only needs to cook it well. No one would think about the food.

Before her, no one used yeast. It was she who found a large box of yeast from the space and used it to make dough, so that Xiaolongbao, steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. were launched on the market.

Now the cooks in the house know that every time they make steamed buns, they will save a small lump of dough for the next rise.

In the big kitchen, hand over the soaked soybeans to the rough envoy for grinding.

Xia Jing instructed a few maids to clean the wooden frame that had been ordered. This kind of wooden frame is also called a tofu box, which is specially used for pressing tofu.

Then wash the cut cotton gauze and soak it in water for later use.

It was not long after dinner time, and the people in the big kitchen were free. When they heard that Xia Jing came to teach everyone how to cook a kind of food that they hadn't eaten before, everyone gathered around.

Xia Jing happened to need a helper here, so she ordered a strong daughter-in-law to help grind the plaster.

In Lingnan, Xia Jing couldn't find brine, so she ordered tofu without brine, so she had to find other substitutes. Fortunately, she found gypsum from a pharmacy.

The so-called gypsum here is not the mixed gypsum of the later gypsum line.

The gypsum in the pharmacy is a natural ore containing calcium sulfate in water. It is in the form of white or translucent crystals. It is not light in weight and can be used for self-defense like bricks.

Grinding gypsum is a water grinding method. Put a small amount of water in a large earthen jar. After washing the gypsum, rub it vigorously in the earthen jar. Slowly, the water in the earthen jar will turn into white gypsum water.

How much gypsum is added to how many catties of beans are particular. If you put too much tofu, it will be too old, and if you put too little tofu, it will not be too tender.

Xia Jing didn't really make tofu in the last days, she just fumbled for everything.

After the soybean milk is ground and boiled, it is filtered and put into several wooden barrels. The amount of gypsum water poured into each barrel is different. Make a record and wait for the result.

After two quarters of an hour, use a spoon to test the solidification of the soy milk in the barrel. If it is too tender, it can be eaten as tofu brains. The other two barrels that are older are poured into a wooden frame to be pressed into tofu.

"Hongmei, bring a few maidservants to send some of this bucket of tofu brains to several rooms, and distribute the rest to the kitchen staff. Everyone can taste it."

Xia Jing also told everyone that tofu can be salty or sweet, and which flavor you want depends on your personal preference.

After the tofu was pressed into the wooden frame, Xia Jing took Baimei back to her yard first.

King Qian had been depressed since returning to his study from Xia Jing's courtyard, and he didn't give anyone a good look.

Mr. Zhang wanted to gossip, and wanted to ask what happened to Anu, but Anu was the shadow of King Qian, how could he be behind his master.

Mr. Zhang was so anxious that he couldn't find out the inside story.

Until Hongmei came in, King Qian's face became even more stinky. At this moment, Mr. Zhang wanted to know how the princess hated the prince.

When King Qian saw Hongmei coming in, he snorted coldly: "Your master asked you to come here? If she just wants you to apologize, you go and tell her, this king will never forgive her!"

After hearing what he said, Hongmei did not explain, but walked forward with a smile, and handed the tray to Anu next to her.

"The concubine cooks this food herself, and specially asked the servants to bring it to the prince to taste. If the prince likes it, the concubine will cook it next time."

Finally, Hongmei thought for a while and added: "Princess Wang knows you have a sweet tooth, so I specially put brown sugar in it. It tastes good."

King Qian stirred the tofu nao in the bowl, "What is this?"

"Tofu nao, made of soybeans, oh, soybeans are what we call bean."

"Shu?" King Qian was startled, lowered his head and sniffed, "This smell doesn't have an unpleasant fishy smell."

And this bean curd thing, although brown sugar is put in, can still be seen as snow-white and lumpy, not at all like food made from bean.

Hongmei looked at him patiently, "The concubine made this with a special technique, please try it, my lord, it tastes really good."

Mr. Zhang squeezed over and saw that there was still a lot of tofu nao in the big sea bowl, so he asked, "Miss Hongmei, there are still a lot of tofu nao in this bowl. Can the old man and Mr. Yan try it?"

Hongmei nodded happily, "Of course, the princess has already prepared a lot."

King Qian glared at Mr. Zhang, who came to snatch the food. He didn't care about his reserve at the moment, and took a sip directly from the bowl, "Well, it's so tender, and it tastes good. It really doesn't smell like beans."

"Delicious? Then the old man will drink two more bowls." Mr. Zhang took a sip from the bowl, regardless of the rules, when he heard what King Qian said.

Seeing this, King Qian drank the tofu nao in the bowl with a few sips, and quickly asked Anu to fill him another bowl.

"You drink the rest."

King Qian took the bowl handed over by Anu, pointed to the remaining tofu brains in the bowl, and said, even if there are leftovers, it will not be cheap to give to Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang, who had just tasted it, was anxious, "Hey, save some more of such delicious food for the old man."

Anu wanted to decline, how could a slave steal the master's food, but seeing Mr. Zhang's reaction, he swallowed back the words he was about to say, and took a sip from the big sea bowl before Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand.

Mr. Zhang paused, turned his head and asked Hongmei unwillingly: "Girl, is there still a kitchen?"

Hongmei shook her head, and said uncertainly: "There is a bucket left in the kitchen. There was still half a bucket left in the kitchen when the servants came, but the people in the kitchen should finish eating it right now."

Mr. Zhang patted his thigh in regret, and his words were a little inappropriate, "Waste the world, how could such a delicious thing be eaten by the servants!"

Hongmei's smile faded, "Sir, our concubine said that the people in the kitchen are also working hard, so we should reward them, and this food is not precious, so they can eat it."

At this moment, Mr. Zhang also knew that he had said something wrong, so he slapped himself lightly, "It's the old man who said something wrong, girl, this tofu nao tastes good, when will we make it next time?"

"This servant doesn't know either."

After listening to Hongmei's words, several people in the study had a flash of disappointment in their eyes.

It's just that the disappointment has not dissipated, and Hongmei said: "However, there will be tofu and other dishes for tonight's dinner, and the princess said that the taste is also good. Then the prince and the gentleman can try it. If you like it, the princess will come." Arrange time to make it for everyone to eat again."

In the evening, Xia Jing told the kitchen how to make tofu, and asked Hongmei to return to her Yiguiyuan with half a plate of tofu.

Fried, fried, roasted, boiled, boiled, the small kitchen made a table of tofu banquets in different ways.

It was also the first time for the two big maids to know that the same simple ingredients can make so many tricks?

"Wow, princess, what are the names of these dishes?"

The two maidservants looked at a table of delicious food with all kinds of color and fragrance, and the gluttons in their stomachs almost came out.

Xia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, sniffed the permeating fragrance, pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one: "This dish is homemade tofu, this dish is stuffed tofu, tofu soup with green vegetables, braised tofu in oil, and fried tofu. Skin tofu, five dishes and one soup, enough for us to eat at night."

"It smells so good. What good dish did the princess cook tonight? You can smell it in the yard."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain that isolated the high temperature outside was lifted, and the tall figure of King Qian walked in.

Anu opened the chair for him, King Qian sat down with a smile, glanced at the dishes on the table, "Princess, you can start eating."

Xia Jing laughed angrily at him, "I remember that the prince was not invited to dinner tonight."

"Ah, no?" King Qian glanced at Hongmei and calmed himself down, "Maybe this king has misunderstood and made a mistake."

Xia Jing followed him and landed on Hongmei. Hongmei waved her hands anxiously, and greeted all eight generations of King Qian's ancestors in her heart. You said that you can come and eat if you want, why do you say this is ambiguous , Misleading words ah?

Xia Jing sneered: "I didn't expect the prince to have the problem of being passionate."

King Qian didn't seem to understand, he didn't care at all, he laughed and said, "Since this king is here, you and I haven't had dinner together for a long time, so let's have a good meal tonight."

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth twitched involuntarily when she heard this, especially Qian Wang's greedy look, it was really hard to see, it was so eye-catching.

　It's the end of the month again, do you have a monthly pass~
