Chapter 166: Baking Bread (Update 1)
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said, "Mom, you think I'm a hot commodity, so you look at me like this."
Jiang Zhiluo knew very well that she grew up with her parents and her brothers and sisters, and was not a girl from a big family.
Everything she showed was simply because she had lived in ancient times, traveled to the modern times, and then traveled to this fictional ancient world.
Because they have mastered many abilities, their behaviors are different.
Jiang Zhiluo laughed and shook her head.
But suddenly she thought of something else.
Her parents fled to Xingshan Village to escape famine, but she didn't seem to know where they were from before.
Also, when she was a child, she seemed to have been stimulated by a high fever and lost her childhood memories.
A little confused.
But Jiang Zhiluo didn't think much about it.
After lunch, Jiang Zhiluo took Madam Cui's pulse and said, "Mother is feeling much better now."
"Just a few more doses of medicine and you'll be completely fine."
Madam Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo gratefully and said, "Mother must thank you very much."
"Not to mention anything else, even I can feel that my body is much better."
"I feel energetic, I can sleep well and rest well every day, and I even feel like I have fewer gray hairs."
As she spoke, Madam Cui touched her face and said, "Hmm, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like my face isn't as rough as before."
"Everyone in the village said I looked younger and more healthy than before. More than one person said this, so I guess it's not a lie."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Cui was also happy.
She feels much better than before.
She knew that all these changes were because Zhiluo came to their home.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Mrs. Cui's hair and found that there were indeed fewer white hairs.
In fact, Mrs. Cui was not very old and should not have had white hair. Unfortunately, something happened to the Cui family before, and she suffered from the pain of exile and did not get enough nutrition. Many reasons caused Mrs. Cui's hair to turn white, and she looked haggard and thin.
After two months of recuperation, she had spiritual spring water with her meals and drinks every day, and she also got medicine for Old Lady Cui during this period, so her health has indeed improved a lot.
He looks energetic and lively when walking.
"Mom is indeed much better. I'll take the medicine later."
"Don't worry, mother knows how to make medicine, I'll do it."
As if she had thought of something, Jiang Zhiluo said, "By the way, Mom, Jian Yunyin will be here this afternoon."
Old Madam Cui knew that Jian Yunyin was the girl Jiang Zhiluo had rescued before.
Although she is the county magistrate's daughter, she is also a pitiful person.
"Zhiluo, since we are your friend, we should treat you well."
"Mom will knead the dough and make some snacks later. It's a pity that we don't have any tea at home."
In the past, Mrs. Cui also liked to drink tea at the Cui family, but unfortunately tea was expensive. After coming here, she was reluctant to buy tea.
Jiang Zhiluo saw someone selling tea in the town, but she was reluctant to buy any.
"It's okay, mom. Just drink some water."
Although it is just boiled water, it is added with spiritual spring water, so it tastes lightly sweet and is very delicious.
Mrs. Cui prepared the medicine and felt a little distressed as she drank it. "Zhiluo, these medicines cost a lot of money again, didn't they?"
If it were her, she would not be willing to spend money to sell these medicines.
But Zhiluo was concerned about her and was willing to spend money to buy medicine for her, which made her feel warm in her heart.
But she also felt sorry for Zhiluo, because all this money was earned by Zhiluo.
"Now that Mom is well, we don't have to buy herbs anymore."
"It's okay, mother. Although we spend money, we still make money every day."
The medicinal materials were indeed expensive, and Xinglin Pavilion gave a discount, but the medicine bought for Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin still cost more than five taels of silver.
She now only has a little over two taels of silver in her hand.
But seeing that Old Madam Cui and Cui Hejin were getting better, she didn't feel bad about spending the money.
Anyway, there is income at home every day.
She plans to make more chili con carne lately.
However, Han Bingce and his father can only make about a hundred bottles a day if they work quickly.
It’s much more expensive to buy it in town.
Speaking of making dim sum, Mrs. Cui actually also makes ordinary noodle dim sum.
It tastes very ordinary.
Just add some sugar when kneading the dough, make it with a mold, and steam it in a pot.
It is equivalent to a small sweet steamed bun, and is very popular among children in the village.
Most people are reluctant to do it.
It's certainly incomparable to the stuffed pastries in the town's pastry shops.
Jiang Zhiluo suddenly thought of bread.
It’s a pity that there were no ovens in this era.
If she had an oven, she could make many kinds of bread.
She traveled around the town and the county several times, inspected the market, and found that there were many kinds of pastries, such as mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, etc.
But there was no such thing as bread.
Bread is very common in the technological age and has a unique taste, which is different from pastries.
You can also bake cakes.
If it is made, everyone will like to eat it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo felt a little moved and warm.
But there is no oven.
She felt helpless, as it seemed she couldn't make bread or cakes.
It is conceivable that if you make bread and cakes, and set up a stall in town, and run a unique business, the business should be good.
Moreover, the bread can be kept for several days after it is made, and there is no need to cook it while lighting a fire like setting up a food stall.
You can make it at home and sell it at the market.
You can make a lot in one day and sell them at the market on the second and third days.
When she has time, she can also sell bread from door to door in the town and county.
If Cui Hejin's health is cured and she saves some money later, she is also thinking of renting a shop to sell bread and cakes.
It is also possible to pick up orders at home.
Many things can be made at home and then sold in stores.
But that's just an idea.
At this moment, Niu called out from the door, "Sister Cui, is Zhiluo home?"
As soon as she heard the voice, Jiang Zhiluo knew it was Niu.
"Aunt Niu, we are at home, come in."
Mrs. Niu came in with two baskets of things in her hands.
"Zhiluo, thanks to you for healing your uncle Liu's arm last time. There's nothing much to thank you for. These are the red bean buns I made myself."
"And these are the Chinese toon that my parents picked when I went to my mother's house. They are fresh and I brought them to you."
When Jiang Zhiluo heard the word "Chinese toon", her eyes lit up. Chinese toon is a good thing.
In the technological age, it is also a pure green and natural vegetable.
You can make scrambled eggs with toon.
Jiang Zhiluo also knew that red bean buns were made by stuffing white bread with red bean filling and sugar.
For the villagers, this is an extremely precious thing, and only during the Chinese New Year will people be willing to make a few of them.
Of course, most people are still reluctant to do it.
The red beans are all grown in our own fields, so if we were to buy them, we would be reluctant to do so.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that Niu had put in a lot of effort, but thinking about the poor conditions of the villagers, Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly said, "Aunt Niu, it's really not necessary. You can take these back to Uncle Liu and the beech to eat."
Mrs. Cui also came out of the house and said, "Yes, Sister Niu, please don't be polite."
"Let's take the food back to Shanmao to eat. Brother Liu still needs to replenish his body."
