She thought about it from another perspective. If her husband was doing business with a woman outside all day long, even if she knew there was nothing wrong between the two of them, she would probably feel uncomfortable, right?
It would be better to just cooperate with Mrs. Ye Diao.
Of course, Ye Diao couldn't think of all these twists and turns. As a man, his way of thinking is naturally different from that of women.
After hearing what Xue Huan said, he immediately felt relieved. So that's how it was.
There is no difference between cooperating with my wife and cooperating with the Ye family, and these two women are easier to talk to.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't have anything to do at home. I'll take you to talk to her."
Hearing this, Xue Huan couldn't help but complain in her heart. You see, men's brain circuits are different from women's. Qin has to be filial to her two mothers-in-law at home, and take care of her son. She has to deal with all the family affairs. But when it comes to Ye Diao's mouth, it becomes "nothing", as if Qin is very idle at home.
She was sure that if Qin heard what Ye Diao said, she might not show any expression, but she would probably want to slap him in the face in her heart.
"That's not necessary. This isn't my first time visiting your house, so why would I need Brother Ye to lead the way? Just go about your business, and I'll take the car myself."
After Xue Huan left, Ye Diao rubbed his chin and realized belatedly that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding suspicion?
When they arrived at the Ye Mansion, Xue Huan was directly brought into the inner courtyard by the maid without any notification.
Qin had already learned of Xue Huan's arrival and was waiting there in advance.
"I'm so glad you're finally here! You have no idea how many times Ah Mao has talked about you in front of me. And the old lady, ever since she tasted the double-skin milk you brought her last time, she hasn't been able to forget you."
Xue Huan pretended to leave. "So everyone isn't thinking about me, but the food I made. This is so sad."
Qin quickly pulled her back and led her to the couch. "Oh, look at what my sister said. I've been thinking about you not only for the food you cook, but also for you as a person. I heard from my husband that you've come up with some new food."
"That's right. I brought it here specially for my sister-in-law to try." Xue Huan gestured to Ah Man to present the heart-shaped box she brought.
The box was opened, revealing several snacks.
After tasting them one by one, Qin sighed, "My sister is really clever and skillful. The things she makes are not available anywhere else, and they are delicious."
Xue Huan: "I don't have any other special skills, but I just love tinkering with these new foods. It's been hot lately, so I made a new kind of food called ice cream. It tastes icy and cool, perfect for summer.
"To be honest, I can't make a large amount of this ice cream by myself, so I want to ask you if you're interested in starting this business with me. I'll provide the recipe and teach you how to make it. When the ice cream is made and we sell it, we'll split the profits 30% to 70%. How about that?"
Qin: "I've long wanted to work with my sister to make money together. Now that my sister has presented me with this opportunity, I naturally agree. However, a 30/70 split is really unfair to my sister. After all, without the recipe she provided, this business wouldn't be possible. How about a 40/60 split? You take 60 and I take 40. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy."
With the previous suggestion of the "saltpeter ice making method", Qin Shi did not doubt that Xue Huan's words were just to coax her, but she felt that the profit distribution was not appropriate.
Xue Huan disagreed. "I'm only responsible for coming up with the prescription. I won't be responsible for manpower, material resources, or personal connections. I'm just waiting for the dividends. So, sister-in-law has a lot to worry about, and I can't let you suffer any loss, right? It's 30% to 70%. Don't refuse it anymore, sister-in-law."
Qin still refused, "Then it's 50-50. Let's not say anything to each other, okay?"
"Okay, I just hope my sister-in-law won't regret it later."
Thus, the distribution of shares was settled. Neither of them was the type to dilly-dally, so now that the matter had been settled, there was no time to lose. That same day, a deed was drawn up and signed by both parties.
Afterwards, Xue Huan began to teach how to make ice cream, and her teaching subjects were two very trustworthy maids in Qin's hands.
Before this, she had already prepared the teaching aids - ice cream molds.
The ingredients needed to make ice cream are milk, eggs, starch and sugar.
This is the simplest ice cream. If you want other flavors, you can add fruit juice, diced fruit, red beans, coix seed, mung beans, etc.
There is no cornstarch at this time, so a batch of cornstarch needs to be made by hand before that.
It is not difficult to make rice starch. When making cold skin before, the process of washing gluten is actually making rice starch.
Wash the dough repeatedly until the gluten does not become smaller, then filter the resulting batter to remove the particles, and set it aside to settle for two or three hours. A layer of dry batter will settle at the bottom.
Pour out the water on the top, take out the dry dough, dry it, grind it into powder, and you will get clear flour.
Now you have the starch needed to make ice cream.
Next, you can officially start making ice cream. Put egg yolks, milk and white sugar into a pot and stir evenly. Pour the stirred milk liquid into a small pot and heat it over low heat. When boiling bubbles appear, add appropriate amount of starch.
If you want a richer milk flavor, you can add less starch.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens slightly.
Move the small pot away from the fire, because the stove is used for burning at this time and the fire cannot be turned off at any time, so you can only take the pot away.
After setting it aside to cool, pour the milk into the prepared mold. If you want other flavors, you can put some candied beans or fruits in it. Knock the mold and smooth the milk.
Then insert a small piece of wood on it so that it is convenient to hold and eat when the time comes.
Cover the mold and refrigerate it in an ice cellar for about three hours.
After Xue Huan gave the recipe for making ice from saltpeter to the Ye family, the Ye family converted a cellar in their house into an ice cellar, which is now filled with ice.
The temperature is very low.
It can be used as a refrigerator.
Qin asked someone to put the mold into the ice cellar.
All that's left to do next is wait.
As soon as this was over, Qin took Xue Huan to the old lady's Chunxuan Hall.
When the old lady knew Xue Huan had arrived, she sent someone to invite her over. However, because Xue Huan was still teaching her two trusted maids how to make ice cream, Qin went over in person to explain the reason.
After the old lady learned about it, she began to look forward to the ice cream.
It was already made, and they were just waiting for the ice cream to freeze. Qin took Xue Huan with her to talk to the old lady.
Chatting alone is boring, so Majiang, an entertainment activity that is very suitable for women in the inner house, was arranged.
The old lady sat at the top, the eldest lady sat at the lower right, and Qin asked Xue Huan to sit at the lower left, and she sat at the bottom.
The four women started fighting.
Ye Fu sat between the old lady and the eldest lady, watching the cards played by both families.
