A family with three widows, after severing ties with relatives, she became wealthy and married into

How can we help Li Huaiyuan achieve his political goals?

That means making steamed buns bigger and stronger!

Make sure the entire Great Qi Dynasty knows about the steamed buns from Baishi County, Yunzhou Prefecture!

What gave Tian Tian such confidence was the baking powder she bought from the system.

This era absolutely does not exist!

She also plans to plant vegetables in the spring, which will enrich the fillings of the steamed buns and make the dishes at Fulai Restaurant more diverse.

With their combined efforts, they can definitely help Li Huaiyuan achieve good political results.

Then... I'll ask him to recommend Jinghe for school!

Let's do it!

Let's start with the shop.

Tian Tian went to the shop, while the four aunties continued making bean curd sheets.

She was preparing on the other side.

If a steamed bun shop wants to grow and become successful, it certainly can't rely entirely on manual labor.

Take chopping minced meat for example. It's so much work to chop it by hand. It's not as convenient as a meat grinder.

And for kneading dough, you need a dough mixer.

In addition, we also need to prepare a refrigerator for storing ingredients and a freezer for storing steamed buns.

These appliances all require electricity.

So what she needs to do today is buy a few solar-powered portable power banks.

It's available in the system, and there are many options.

Tian Tian chose the largest battery capacity, three million mAh, almost without hesitation.

The price is... eight thousand coins, which is eight taels.

I bought two directly.

I bought ten 800-watt photovoltaic panels, which cost me another sixty taels of silver.

Tian Tian was very clever. She first climbed onto the roof, and then bought solar panels, fixing them one by one, which saved her a lot of effort.

Ten photovoltaic panels are fixed on the roof, and then several panels are connected together with parallel wires. Finally, an adapter plug is used to directly connect the output of the photovoltaic panels to the charging port of a power bank.

The sun is shining brightly outside, and the power bank is showing that it is charging.

Tian Tian stretched her back... and finally the electricity problem was solved.

The power bank was very heavy, and Tian Tian placed it in the left corner of the shop.

This corner can hold two refrigerators, a meat grinder, and a dough mixer.

Then build another wall to separate them; outside are the steamed bun counter and the steamed bun making station.

The next day, Tian Tian hired several craftsmen to build the wall.

They were extremely curious about the square object in the corner that was flashing red and green lights.

However, they dared not ask about or touch the owner's belongings.

Following Tian Tian's request, they built a wall in the middle of the shop and replaced two of the previously built stoves with round pot stoves.

Tian Tian couldn't wait to melt the square pot before making the iron pot, so she simply bought two more large iron pots from the blacksmith shop.

I bought ten large bamboo steamers on the way.

On the third day, Tian Tian gave the women who made bean curd sheets a day off.

Send them out to write letters to their families and send them money.

Taking advantage of this time, Tian Tian bought two commercial refrigerators from the system, each with three doors, for ten taels of silver.

I bought a commercial meat grinder and a commercial dough mixer, which cost a total of one tael of silver.

Outside the wall, I bought two freezers with a refrigerator on the bottom and a work surface on top.

One serves as the counter, the other as the work surface, and the freezer below is perfect for freezing food.

It cost another five taels of silver.

Various seasonings...

Salt, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, five-spice powder, pepper, MSG, sesame oil, ginger, scallions, etc.

It cost another two hundred coins.

In this era, flour cost 20 coins per pound, but it only sold for 3 coins per pound within the system.

So they bought a thousand catties, spending three taels of silver.

Finally, I bought baking powder. The more I bought, the cheaper it was. I bought fifty packs for ten coins.

One packet contains five grams; add one packet to every pound of flour.

Tian Tian bought five thousand packs directly, spending one tael.

After calculating everything, it came to a total of eighty-eight taels.

Eighty-eight, which sounds like "prosperity" in Chinese, is a very auspicious number.

On her way home after finishing all that, Tian Tian stopped by the butcher shop and ordered 40 jin of pork tenderloin and 10 jin of fatty pork.

On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Fusheng brought his four aunts over early.

Then, they took Tian Tian's family, Liu San Niang and her daughter, and the firewood from their home to the county.

"Why are you going to the county so early today?" Zhang Fusheng asked, puzzled.

After all, Tian Tian had been delivering goods to the county all by herself during this period.

"Our shop is opening today," Lu Tao said.

Zhang Fusheng was surprised, "The shop is open for business?"

What kind of business are you in?

“I’ll make steamed buns. Haven’t you eaten them before?” Liu San Niang said happily.

Zhang Fusheng had eaten it and had always remembered it fondly.

"Selling steamed buns? That business must be booming."

"How much does one of these delicious steamed buns cost?"

Tian Tian has already calculated it.

A pound of flour costs three cents, and a pound of meat costs twenty-two coins.

The buns have thin skins and plenty of filling. Conservatively speaking, one pound of meat can make fifteen buns, costing only one and a half coins.

Including the cost of bread, it certainly wouldn't exceed two coins.

She plans to sell them for five coins each.

"Five coins each."

"Yes, I'll have it." Zhang Fusheng nodded in agreement. "The buns you make have thin skins and lots of filling, with so much meat."

"I'll be full after eating two."

"It's more cost-effective than eating at a restaurant, and the key is that it's delicious."

"Uncle Zhang, then I'll take your kind words."

The family was filled with anticipation, and the time on the road seemed to fly by. Before long, they arrived in the county.

The butcher was already waiting at the door.

"Girl." Seeing Tian Tian get off the oxcart, he immediately carried the pork to greet her.

Such a large deal was a rare occurrence, and fearing something might go wrong, he had been waiting here for a long time.

"A total of nine hundred and eighty coins, young lady, please give me another seven hundred and eighty coins."

Tian Tian paid the money, and Tian Xiang took the meat and quickly hoisted it onto her shoulder.

After two days of charging, the power banks in the shop are fully charged.

Tian Tian plugged in the dough mixer, and the power light came on.

Today is the first day. Not knowing the market price, Tian Tian first poured in ten catties of flour, then added five catties of water and ten bags of baking powder, and turned on the machine to stir.

Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, and Tian Xiang rolled up their sleeves to help, but when they saw the silver thing being stirred, they were dumbfounded.

"Sweetie, what's this?"

"This is a special tool for kneading dough. I asked a passing craftsman to make it for me."

Tian Xiang looked it up and down. "Sweetie, how does this thing... move?"

"It moves on its own."

Tian Xiang was stunned. "It can move by itself?"

Tian Tian replied without batting an eye, "Well, that's what the craftsman said anyway."

Tian Xiang muttered, "That's amazing..."

She turned around... "Then let's chop the meat."

"No need..." Tian Tian put the cleaned meat into the meat grinder inlet. The machine was moved away, and the minced meat came out from the other side and fell directly into the empty basin that Tian Tian had placed there.

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

But what's even more amazing is...

Tian Tian temporarily put the extra minced meat in the refrigerator...

"Is this a cabinet?" Lu Tao asked, looking inside.

The cabinet is silver, and a blast of cold air hits you as soon as you open it.

She had never seen a cabinet like this before.
