Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

The maid took over a large white jade bowl on a tray with a hollow silver-inlaid lid. Although it was made of silver, it was very exquisite.

Wu Qing couldn't take her eyes off the hollow silver lid. There were many good things in the palace, but this was an ordinary restaurant outside the palace. How could it be so luxurious?

He Cui went over and took the other one and placed it in front of Wu Qing.

Madam Xu extended her hand towards Wu Qing, inviting her to come. "Miss Wu, please take a look at the most impressive features of Shengyuanju!"

Wu Qing didn't know what kind of treasure could be placed in such a white jade bowl, so she reached out and carefully lifted the hollow silver-inlaid lid.

day!

It is truly a richness that only this bowl deserves - a pink and white peony is placed in the bowl.

The peony was still steaming, it turned out to be a fancy steamed bun that had just been taken out of the pot.

The petals were soft, bright, and lifelike. Wu Qing was truly impressed by this creature, something she had never heard of before.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Madam Xu. "It's so beautiful, but how can I eat it?"

Seeing Wu Qing's reluctance to do anything, Madam Xu burst out laughing, "Young lady, you have seen the world, but you don't pretend at all."

"How can I fake this? I've really never seen it before." Think about it, no matter how good-looking this thing is, it's still food. If I don't eat it now, it will get cold and dry, and it will become ugly and unpalatable. In the end, I'm afraid I'll have to throw it away, which would be a waste of food.

Thinking of this, Wu Qing ate a petal. Before putting it in her mouth, she just thought it was a fancy steamed bun that just looked good.

Only after entering did I understand why this is the unique skill of Shengyuanju, it's simply...

When you gently press the piece in your mouth, you can feel its fluffiness and softness, as light as a cloud.

Each bite is uniform and delicate, without any graininess or roughness. The tongue enjoys the smooth taste with a subtle elasticity. When chewing, you can feel the gluten and toughness of the dough. This taste is unforgettable.

If you savor it carefully, you will feel a warmth, as if it carries a hint of moisture, making the whole eating process very comfortable.

The natural sweetness of the flour itself and the subtle flavor produced during the fermentation process give it a light sweetness.

This natural sweetness complements the texture of the steamed buns, making it an unforgettable experience.

Wu Qing savored the food for a long time without saying anything.

Madam Xu also watched Wu Qing taste the food quietly, and then she said, "To be honest, my family's restaurants are all over Dayu, and our specialty is this noodle dish.

I don’t have any dishes that are particularly good, so since the girl is collaborating with me on the sauce, I’m in such a hurry to finalize it.”

Wu Qing's eyes sparkled. This was truly more delicious than the snacks in the palace. She continued Madam Xu's words, "Madam is also very straightforward. She has revealed all her wealth."

Mrs. Xu didn't beat around the bush. "I hope the young lady can teach us a few special dishes made with the sauce, so that I can quickly establish the sauce."

This... It's not that Wu Qing doesn't want to teach. Her specialty is various snacks. If she hadn't seen eggplant in the kitchen, she wouldn't have thought of what to make.

But Mrs. Xu is right. How can we sell the soybean paste without offering some delicious dishes?

A real dish! Oh, and the braised pork ribs in black bean sauce is good.

"I do have a dish, but it's not ready right away. It'll take about two hours to prepare. Can you call the chef over?"

Wu Qing thought she was too scared to show her handwriting to anyone, so she called the cook and asked him to dictate it to her. Oh, I was so clever!

Soon the chef arrived, and Wu Qing orally explained the steps to him:

“?Prepare ingredients?: The main ingredients needed are spine, sauce, scallion, ginger, star anise, cooking wine, sugar and salt.

How to prepare the spine: Soak the spine in clean water for at least half an hour, then rinse thoroughly. Blanch in cold water, skimming off any excess blood and draining thoroughly.

Stir-fry the seasoning: Add a little oil to the pan, sauté the star anise and the sauce until fragrant. Add the blanched spine and stir-fry evenly. Add the soybean paste, sugar, and cooking wine and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.

Stew: Pour the fried spine into the pot, add onion and ginger, cover the lid and bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat for half an hour, then turn off the heat and simmer for another half an hour

Finally, open the lid and simmer until the soup thickens.”

The chef frowned and asked, "The sauce you're talking about here is..."

Wu Qing reached out and took a cup of soybean paste from the table and gave it to him, "Here."

Although the chef had tasted the unique flavor of the eggplant just now, he still looked at his boss suspiciously, wondering what the braised pork ribs would look like.

Madam Xu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead and do it. We can't wait that long. Send it to me when it's done."

The chef naturally knows about other seasonings, so we can only try making them first to see what they taste like.

Wu Qing talked about the recipe of the braised eggplant again, and then thought of a sauce-flavored pancake.

"You can try making these two dishes, but there's not much sauce left. How about trying them first? This kimchi can be eaten directly with rice, or wrapped in this—" Wu Qing took a look at the improved mini rice roll and suddenly had an idea. She named it, "Emerald Dumplings."

Madam Xu looked at the dish and said, "This dish has a good name, better than the pickled eggplant, it's definitely suitable for the backyard of any mansion."

Wu Qing nodded, thinking that going high-end does require a nice name.

The two of them were not very hungry and were full after a few bites.

Madam Xu looked at Wu Qing and asked tentatively, "If we have a large quantity and keep it all in the capital, I'm afraid the price will drop too much. I'd like to use my family's caravan to take it to other places. What do you think, young lady?"

Wu Qing nodded. "I have no objection. I also want the people of Dayu to taste this flavor and use this inexpensive seasoning."

Mrs. Xu covered her lips and smiled, her expression clearly saying: This won't prevent the young lady from making a fortune. But she opened her mouth and said, "It's not easy for the young lady to come here. Do you still have time now? Is there anything else you want to know?"

Wu Qing thought about it seriously, "Does the Xu family have their own caravan? We need to send the sauce out of the capital, but do we need to use the caravan?"

Madam Xu nodded. "Yes, we can use the Xu family's caravans. They go to Jingzhou every month. They can reach Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, and Changsha County. So if there are no unexpected events, Jingzhou will be the first choice."

Wu Qing asked: "Is it because the Xu family has many restaurants in Jingzhou?" It was purely a guess, but she believed she was right.

Madam Xu nodded. It was great to work with a smart person. "It just so happens that the caravan heading to Jingzhou is about to depart tomorrow. Miss Wu, is there anyone interested in going to see it?"

Oh, this isn't a trade secret, but Wu Qing was also very interested in seeing the ancient transportation methods and was eager to try them out. She still managed to be polite, "Don't bother me?"

"Of course not, please move on, young lady."

Mrs. Xu really took Wu Qing to the caravan's gathering place and set off tomorrow. Those who lived far away had already arrived, and the leader had also arrived.

Mrs. Xu introduced Wu Qing, "This is Liu Guotou."

Wu Qing hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, Liu Guotou."

"Boss, where is this girl from? Do you have any goods to deliver?" Liu Guotou's loud voice scared Wu Qing. Then she looked at everyone around her, and none of them looked scared at all. So she was the one who was scared. Wu Qing felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that she was too timid?

Madam Xu: "Keep your voice down, you might scare Miss Wu. I just brought you here to meet someone. Now it seems you might steal some of Liu Guotou's goods in the future."

When Liu Guotou heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who did you negotiate the price with, Miss Wu?" The implication was that whoever the boss introduced would pay the bill, and he was also a straightforward and generous man.

Madam Xu waved her hand. "They are our own goods. Just tell us the number."

Wu Qing couldn't ask in detail. It seemed like the delivery fee calculation was different at home. She just made a note of the existence of Liu Guotou and asked, "Does Liu Guotou leave on a fixed date each month? Or does he wait until he's delivered a certain amount of goods?"

Mrs. Xu answered this question, "Most caravans have to wait for goods, but the Xu family's caravans going to Jingzhou mainly carry our own goods, so we can set a fixed time and leave when the time comes."

Looking at the boxes of goods that were prepared, which were really big, Wu Qing suddenly had an idea: the transporters could be hidden in these big boxes.

Why would such an idea pop up out of nowhere?

Wu Qing shook her head and tried to get rid of the idea. She must have read too many novels. How could it be possible for a person to stay in a box without food or water?

At this pace, it would take more than a month to reach Jingzhou, and people would have died long ago.

Seeing that Wu Qing was interested, Mrs. Xu said that if she had any goods, she could go directly to Liu Guotou and treat them as the Xu family's own goods.

Wu Qing touched her nose. Mrs. Xu was really good at talking. She clearly didn't have anything to give as a gift, but she felt relieved after hearing this.
