The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"smell good."

Yan Ze's eyes lit up, "It smells like tomatoes and meat."

The little guy couldn't wait to take a chopstick and took a big mouthful of noodles. The texture was chewy, and the rich flavor of tomato sauce was quenched in. It was mixed with shredded pork, which greatly stimulated the child's taste buds: "Wow, good. tasty!"

Yan Yang also started to move. He didn't eat hot pot with his son in the evening, and his stomach was still empty at this moment.

After taking a small sip, I was immediately impressed: "My wife's tomato sauce is the best."

After a while, less than half of the shredded pork noodles with tomato sauce disappeared from the bowl, and the men in the army devoured their meals.

Even the most reserved Su Mianmian couldn't restrain her desire. She politely picked up two noodles dipped in thick red sauce and put them into her mouth.

Since becoming pregnant, she has not been able to eat meat, not even minced meat, and she will suffer from morning sickness whenever she touches it.

But this time there is a big difference: "Well! Dragon liver and phoenix marrow are nothing more than that! Your Highness, this tomato sauce is too delicious!"

Mu Tingxue smiled slightly and said, "Eat more if you like, there are still many in the kitchen."

Su Mianmian abandoned her reserve and ate the shredded pork noodles with tomato sauce. She also gave up her image of a lady and just showed off her head.

After finishing a large plate, he wiped his mouth with unsatisfied thoughts and said: "Your Highness is laughing, to be honest, I haven't had a comfortable and full meal for several months, and the food at home is not to my taste."

She is like a hungry person.

After feasting, I felt a long-lost satisfaction.

Mu Tingxue said: "Then take a can of ketchup back and eat it slowly."

I've brought so many local specialties from the southeast, so I'd like to give you some gifts in return. I'm sorry.

"How can it be so..."

Su Mianmian was a little embarrassed. When she went to someone's house, she even ate and took out the food. "This ketchup uses white sugar and white rock sugar. It is a precious thing..."

"Not expensive."

This little money is as insignificant as dust to both the Su family and the Nangong family.

After dinner.

Mu Tingxue went to the kitchen, took out one of the seven porcelain jars of tomato sauce and gave it to Su Mianmian, "You can spread it on cakes, make tomato sauce and egg fried rice, or eat it with potatoes. More You can make tomato sauce noodle soup. This sauce is practical and versatile, just use it according to your favorite taste.”

Su Mianmian was greatly moved. She hugged Ketchup tightly and said a bunch of words of thanks.

In essence, she and the eldest princess have no conflict of interest.

Her maiden name is Su, and she belongs to the direct line. Her brother and the eldest princess have a close master-disciple relationship. As a younger sister, she must not be able to contradict her brother. Her husband's surname is Nangong, and her political stance is different from that of the eldest princess, but her husband is not the heir apparent of Tianqi. , has no inheritance rights, and her husband has kept two outhouses since she became pregnant, and hangs around the place of fireworks all day long, so why should she seek unhappiness and protect her husband's family's position.

Su Mianmian is not a fool and understands that her husband is unreliable. Only her biological brother Su Zixiu can be her mother's support in the future.

"If you finish eating, you can also make it at home."

Mu Tingxue didn't think that ketchup was a technical invention.

Too easy to do.

Add some white sugar, rock sugar, etc., and cook it. "You can add some minced garlic or blend in some corn starch according to your needs."

Gorgon powder is the ancient name for starch.

This thing has been around for a long time, and it can be extracted from grains.

Su Mianmian was extremely shocked: "How can Your Highness tell me how to make tomato sauce? If you open another Imperial City tomato sauce factory, it will definitely become popular in Yundu and become a hot-selling rarity."

In her opinion, such money-making skills should be kept secret and passed on to future generations.

"First, tomato sauce cannot be stored for a long time." In ancient times, there were no preservatives.

"Second, the purchase of white sugar is restricted and requires registration. If you want to make tomato paste in large quantities and sell it as a commodity, no one except the Imperial City Sugar Factory can do it." This is the beauty of the monopoly of raw materials.

"Third and most important, if you make tomato sauce for yourself, you must boil the sealed bottle in boiling water for an hour, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." High-temperature sterilization is a prerequisite.

"I have kept it in mind. Thank you to Her Royal Highness the Princess for your generous teachings."

Su Mianmian's heart felt as if hot oil had been poured into it, making it feel warm.

After thanking him profusely, he resigned and left.

"Mom, these potato chips are also delicious when dipped in ketchup. They are crunchy and crunchy."

Ya Bao held a small bamboo snack plate in his arms, which contained sliced ​​potatoes that had just been fried in the kitchen, and were browned.

Children love to eat this.

Every night, I have to eat more than a dozen slices to satisfy my cravings.

"This way of eating is also very good."

Mu Tingxue rubbed her son's little head. Tomato-flavored potato chips are a classic style that has been a best-seller for generations to come.

Ya Bao asked curiously: "Mom, do you really not want to open a tomato paste factory? Such a delicious thing will definitely make a lot of money."

Mu Tingxue replied: "You can open it, but homemade tomato sauce like this can only be stored for about fifteen days."

This means that if you don’t finish the tomato sauce within fifteen days, it will go bad.

If a ketchup factory is opened, if the products cannot be sold within fifteen days, they will rot, deteriorate and become moldy. Customers will suffer from diarrhea or even food poisoning if they touch it.

"Fifteenth day? That's enough."

Another cute baby also came over, "Mom, believe me, son, as long as such a delicious tomato sauce is made, it will be sold out in three to five days at most!"

After some encouragement from her two children, Mu Tingxue finally decided to open a tomato paste factory and run it as a pilot operation.

In order to facilitate the transportation of raw materials such as sugar, the Imperial City Tomato Sauce Factory was established near the sugar factory.

It is backed by Zhujiacun and thousands of hectares of farmland.

The people living here are all self-cultivators, not tenants who earn a living under the hands of any big landowner from aristocratic families.

The Imperial City Mill is located in Zhujia Village. It not only sells tofu, but also produces soy milk and sends it to make white rock sugar, forming a small industry chain.

The person responsible for managing the Imperial City Mill is Yuanyang, the female official of the Princess's Mansion.

Yuanyang's surname is Zhu.

"Happy master."

Yuanyang is very diligent. Not only does he manage the clothing expenses of the princess's house properly, but he also spares time to run a prosperous mill business in a poor village on the outskirts of Yundu. "Mill" We just made fresh tofu pudding, do you like salty tofu pudding or sweet tofu pudding?"

Mu Tingxue said firmly: "Salty mouth is better."

"Okay, I'll give you some more soybeans and sesame oil."

Soon, a bowl of fresh salty tofu pudding was served.

Mu Tingxue tasted it. It was tender, soft and smooth, and the taste was okay.

"Your Highness, you see, this Zhujia Village was originally the poorest village in Yundu. Now you have built an Imperial City Mill here. The hard life of the villagers has come to an end and they are gradually getting better."

Mu Tingxue looked out the window and saw many villagers in Zhujia Village throwing autumn harvest grains into the sky.

This is the Yangtze.
