Chapter 153 The Same Mid-Autumn Festival

Chen Huazheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Yes, we can launch mooncake gift boxes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. We can also launch a tasting event first, so that customers can try it and see which flavor they like."

[It's finally time to eat mooncakes. I have to make more this time to see which flavor is the most popular. In addition to double yolk white lotus paste, I also have to make custard yolk, fruit, red bean paste, black bean paste, black sesame egg yolk, five kernels, egg yolk nuts, snow skin mooncakes, crystal mooncakes...]

Zhou Ying: o(*￣▽￣*)o

There are so many flavors of mooncakes, is there anything Zheng Er can’t make?

Princess Lejia: `(*＞﹏＜*)′

Oh my goodness, everything here sounds delicious!!

She will definitely try everything by then, but...it shouldn't make her fat, right? ?

Thinking of this, Princess Lejia picked up the milk tea beside her, took a big sip, and shook her head again.

Who is she? ? She is Jiang Yining, who is favored by the Bodhisattva! !

How could she be fat?

That's right!!

No matter how much delicious food she eats, the flesh will only grow on other people.

Just let it grow on Xiao Han and Jiang Yirou, mother and daughter. And Jiang Ran should also be given some.

If this is true, she will definitely eat a lot and turn the mother and her two children into three fat people.

Hehehe~~~

By the time Princess Lejia came to her senses from her imagination, Zhou Ying and Shen Huazheng had already been discussing Yipinlou's upcoming mooncake gift boxes and activities for quite some time.

Princess Lejia felt a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment and quickly joined their discussion.

"By the way, if the mooncakes need promotional brochures, you can let me draw them. Zheng Zheng, make the mooncakes for me to see, or tell me what they look like, and I'll draw them. If they don't work, I'll make changes."

Hearing Princess Lejia's words, Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying's eyes lit up.

Yes, I almost forgot about the brochure just now.

I almost forgot that there is a master of painting skills among them.

Zhou Ying praised: "Aning, you are so thoughtful. We haven't thought of this yet."

Chen Huazheng: "Aning, I will make the mooncakes when the time comes. After you taste them, you will know how to draw them."

The promotional brochure for mooncakes should not only depict the outer crust and patterns, but also highlight the fillings inside.

The most intuitive way is to make the mooncakes and let the painter taste them.

Princess Lejia picked up the milk tea and took a sip, smiling with her eyes curved.

"No problem, no problem. Leave it to me. If you need any festive designs on the gift box, I can also draw them."

Princess Lejia has been with Princess Yian since she was a child. Although she is a little spoiled, she understands many principles.

She knew that whether in business cooperation or as friends, the most taboo thing was that someone just enjoyed themselves without putting in any effort.

Fortunately, although she is not as good at cooking as Zheng Zheng and A Ying, she can still do something within her ability with a paintbrush.

After the three of them had roughly decided on all the matters, Zhou Ying suddenly remembered another thing.

"Zheng'er, how is the plan for hot spring vegetables that you mentioned earlier going now?"

When they went to the hot spring resort for vacation, Chen Huazheng suddenly said that she wanted to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables there.

If successful, they will be able to eat fresh and tender vegetables in winter.

Princess Lejia was also very curious: "Yes, Zhengzheng, did the plan succeed?"

In previous years, the imperial palace would always purchase large quantities of various fresh vegetables in advance, and store them in ice or in the cellar for use in the palace during the winter.

In addition to being used by the various palaces, a portion of these vegetables will also be distributed to clan members.

Sometimes it would be given as a reward to meritorious officials.

More extravagant families would even provide money and manpower to transport some vegetables from various counties in the south.

If Zheng Zheng's method really works, she will have fresh vegetables to eat in winter! !

Chen Huazheng looked at the two people's expectant eyes, and the corners of her lips rose: "The greenhouse has been built, and some vegetables were transplanted there a few days ago. There should be results soon."

There are two keys to the success of a greenhouse: temperature and sunlight.

The hot spring villa has its own temperature properties, so there is basically no need to worry, just take precautions against the cold and wind.

You can build walls around the greenhouse to keep out the cold and wind.

Sunlight is a very important factor. Only with sunlight can vegetables grow well.

In this era without plastic film or plexiglass, how to obtain sufficient light has become the key to the success or failure of a greenhouse.

The wall can keep out the cold and wind, but it cannot keep out the rain or snow.

The roof can block rain and snow, but it also blocks the sunlight. Without sunlight, vegetables cannot grow naturally.

Shen Huazheng thought about it and decided to add a roof, and then use the principle of light reflection and bronze mirrors to bring sunlight into the greenhouse.

Although the clarity of the bronze mirror is still a little lacking, it is sufficient for use in greenhouses.

The craftsmen followed the instructions and added a roof to the previously built courtyard wall, covered the ground with thick black soil, and built a row of frames around the courtyard wall.

Bronze mirrors were installed on the roof and the walls of the courtyard, and bronze mirrors were also placed in the four directions of east, west, south and north outside the house.

Except for some bronze mirrors that are fixed in place, the angles of the remaining bronze mirrors can be adjusted to maximize the amount of sunlight received.

At the beginning, in order to get as much sunlight as possible, Chen Huazheng had people adjust the reflection angles of the bronze mirrors around the house every half hour, and had the clerk record them one by one for future use.

Now the greenhouse has been built and we are just waiting for the batch of vegetables.

"Wow!" Princess Lejia almost jumped up with joy, "Zhengzheng, you are so amazing!"

Very good!

It seems that she won't have to look forward to any extravagances in the palace this year.

Hahaha! ! !

Zhou Ying was also very happy, happy for Shen Huazheng, and also happy for herself and her family.

If it is really possible to grow off-season vegetables in greenhouses, it would be a huge deal for the entire Daliang.

The three of them chatted for a while about the vegetables grown in the greenhouse, and then happily drank afternoon tea.

…

Soon, news spread that Lianxiangzhai would hold a mooncake tasting event, sparking discussions among people in the capital.

"Have you heard? Lianxiangzhai is planning to sell mooncakes this year."

"Is this true? Didn't Lianxiangzhai sell mooncakes before?"

"That was in the past. Now Lady Yinghua is the owner of Lianxiangzhai. If she wants to sell mooncakes, Lianxiangzhai will sell mooncakes."

"That's right. Lianxiangzhai's cakes are so delicious, so the mooncakes must be not much worse. I just wonder what surprise Princess Yinghua will give us this time."

"Lianxiangzhai will have a mooncake tasting event in a few days, let's go and try it then."

"Okay, then we have to go early."
