Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The paper that Li Yu gave was not very heavy, but Mr. Xiang felt it was a bit heavy.

Li Ji Hotpot Restaurant was doing a booming business, and there were countless chefs who wanted to get the hotpot recipe from the restaurant, so Mrs. Li gave it to herself.

It seems that she is really helping the prince, otherwise she would not have given him the recipe on which she depends for survival.

Mr. Xiang admired Li Yu and decided that he would make sure the hot pot and barbecue team remembered the recipe no matter what.

In this way, when Li Yu teaches, he won’t have to put in so much effort.

*

Watching the hot pot and barbecue team line up to leave, Li Yu looked at the private dish team.

Ninety percent of the team members were women. Li Yu looked at them and asked them to find a stove, and then asked the people in the village to give them potatoes and winter melons, and asked them to cut them into slices or cubes. In short, they could do whatever they wanted, even if they wanted to carve patterns on the winter melons. As long as they knew how, they could do it.

The dishes in private restaurants test one’s knife skills, so she needs to understand their true level first.

*

Finally, it’s the milk tea and snack team.

These dozens of people are not very good at knife skills and their cooking skills are also average, but their advantage is that they are very strong.

Li Yu asked more questions carefully, and finally selected a dozen people, asking each of them to find a handy farm tool and then wave it in the air.

A dozen people were puzzled and didn't know what she was going to do.

Commander Zhuo was also puzzled and asked, "Madam Li, is there any connection between farm tools and cooking?"

Li Yu: "Yes. I want them to stir-fry hawthorns and chestnuts, and stir-frying these two things requires strength. I wonder if Commander Zhuo has ever seen a spatula as big as a shovel. They may use it when the time comes."

Today, I want to let them try first to see how strong they are. "

Commander Zhuo: “…” Don’t mention it, he had never seen a spatula as big as a shovel.

After this arrangement was made, Li Yu arranged for another dozen people to follow Mr. Ye to memorize the production process of wolf tooth potatoes and potato chips.

Mr. Ye was a little confused, "Mrs. Li, they are not good at knife skills, can they cut potatoes?"

Li Yu said, "I made a slicing and dicing tool, so they don't have to use a knife to cut anymore."

Because she didn't like to use tools to help cut vegetables in modern times, she had never thought of making a slicer in the past few years, and almost forgot about it. A few days ago, when she was writing a plan, she suddenly remembered it and thought it would be useful, so she drew a design and asked the blacksmith on Taiping Street to make it.

She gave it a little late, so the blacksmith probably won’t be able to finish it until today.

Mr. Ye was curious: "There is such a thing, can you let me take a look?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "I don't have it yet. When it's done, someone from Prince An's Mansion will deliver it to me, and I'll show it to you then."

*

After arranging this wave, there are only a dozen people left.

Just then, a servant from the farm brought half a bucket of milk, so Li Yu asked someone to light the fire and boil the pot to make milk tea.

This is the simplest one, and there is no need to memorize the process. These people only need to remember how to fry the tea leaves and when to add milk.

Li Yu asked everyone to stand around him and began to show.

First, fry the sugar and tea leaves together until they are browned and bubbling, then add boiling water and stir, and finally add milk.

After boiling, take out the tea leaves and the most basic caramel milk tea is ready.

There happened to be a bowl nearby, so Li Yu took it out, filled a bowl with some food, and let these people taste it.

Not everyone likes the taste of tea, but milk tea is something very new to these people. Even if they are not used to it, none of them thinks that the milk tea made by Li Yu is unpalatable.

"This is the most basic milk tea you will make in the future. Now each of you take half a bowl of milk, a handful of tea leaves and a small bag of sugar, and find a place to try making it." Li Yu put down the spoon and swept his eyes across the faces of everyone in front of the stove. "Don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you make any mistakes, I will correct you."

A dozen people looked at each other, and finally nodded.

*

Li Yu walked back and forth in front of a dozen stoves.

There are few ingredients and simple steps to make milk tea, but in reality, if you are not careful, you still won’t make it well.

There was a man in his early twenties who was frying the sugar. As expected, the fire on the stove was too strong and the sugar turned dark brown. The resulting milk tea tasted bitter.

There was another woman who added milk and boiled it for too long, making the tea taste too strong.

But these are all small matters. In order to avoid problems in the future, she will write a table of the dosage of tea and sugar. As long as the dosage of tea and sugar is controlled within the appropriate range, the milk tea will not be unpalatable.

*

Seeing that everyone basically knew how to do it, Li Yu asked them to stop after they were done, taste what others had made, and exchange ideas.

Afterwards, she went to the private kitchen team.

Not to mention, some of the women have very good craftsmanship.

One of the women, named Lu, carved a lifelike lotus flower out of a winter melon.

Another woman named Yang carved three rabbits cuddling together from a potato. Due to the short time, the details of the rabbits were not very good, but they were enough to impress Li Yu.

On the hot pot and barbecue team side, Mr. Xiang found the corresponding seasonings in order to make everyone remember faster. He named one and the people in the village showed it to them.

Li Yu listened for a while and saw that everyone was concentrating and no one was slacking off, so he left with peace of mind.

*

This afternoon, everyone was very busy, more than 160 people were busy, including Li Yu, Mr. Xiang and the people in the village.

However, because the yard was large and the garden was at the back of the house, their voices could not be heard.

It was not until the evening that Li Yu had a basic understanding of the situation of the more than 100 people, and then she made some adjustments to the division of labor based on the information she obtained.

"Li Yu, it's getting dark, let's go have dinner." Princess Jianing yawned.

She stayed in the garden for a while in the afternoon, went back to her room to rest, and just woke up now.

Li Yu smiled at her through the half-open window and said, "I'm coming."

After saying that, she put down her pen, stood up, patted the hem of her clothes, opened the door and went out.

*

The dishes in the farm in the evening are basically made with potatoes and winter melon, including potato cakes, fried shredded potatoes, winter melon stewed with meat, winter melon soup, and a dish of steamed potatoes.

Shredded potato pancakes are made by the cook at Li Yujiao's village and are loved by everyone.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Li Yu and Princess Jianing lived in the same courtyard, while Mr. Xiang, Commander Zhuo, and Mr. Ye lived in the courtyard next to them.

The remaining one hundred and sixty-odd people lived in the empty rooms of the house.

The house is large, with thirty or forty small empty rooms. In addition, there is a large house that used to store grain but is now empty, which is enough for all these people to live in.

In order to allow these people to study Li Yu with greater peace of mind, the prince arranged for someone to give each of them two thick quilts to ensure that they would not be frozen.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed. Li Yu had breakfast and began to teach them new things.
