He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Lu Sheng's birthday party was over, and Lu Yan was thinking about goat milk.

Goat milk is actually very nutritious. It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that "goat milk is sweet, warm and non-toxic. It can benefit the five internal organs, nourish kidney deficiency, replenish essence and qi, nourish the heart and lungs; cure thirst and fatigue; benefit the skin and moisturize the hair; and the small intestine and the large intestine.” Goat milk is known as the "King of Milk" in the international nutrition community.

Goat milk is less susceptible to allergies and easier to absorb. It can be seen that goat milk is a good thing, so why do we drink less goat milk than cow milk? In addition to the issue of yield, the main reason is that goat milk has a mutton smell. But the smell is not impossible to remove. Commonly used methods are to use almonds to remove the smell, and to use scented tea to remove the smell. Lu Yan used almonds to cook a pot of goat milk that had almost no smell.

Goat milk, which solves the problem of odor, can be used to produce not many dairy products. First of all, the most classic one is definitely milk tea.

There are actually two ways to make milk tea. The first is to make tea directly with hot milk without adding water. This method is very simple, but the biggest problem is that the tea is not fully brewed, the tea leaves cannot be fully brewed, and the tea flavor will be weak.

The second method is to make tea with water, replace the milk with evaporated milk, and then thoroughly mix the evaporated milk with the tea water. What is evaporated milk? Heat the milk, stir continuously after the milk boils, and let half of the water evaporate, leaving the evaporated milk. The principle of this method is to first reduce the amount of water used in making tea from the milk, and the resulting milk tea will be neither strong nor light.

Lu Yan decisively chose the second approach, and the silky and delicious milk tea was launched online. Lu Yan bought a batch of cups with a capacity of about 300ml. A cup of milk tea without sugar costs seven cents, and with sugar it costs eight cents. Before the sale starts, everyone who comes to Luji can taste a cup of milk tea for free. So milk tea was sold like a raging fire. Even if the cups are not allowed to be taken away, it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for buying milk tea. Many wealthy households would rather bring their own pots to take away.

The sugar content of the milk tea can be adjusted. Lu Yan herself likes the sugar-free version, but after a few days of sales, it seems that the sugar-deficient Dali Dynasty almost all wants full sugar, even if full sugar is a penny more expensive than sugar-free. Only the fat Chu Tiankuo was strongly dissuaded by Lu Yan when buying milk tea and asked him to try sugar-free milk tea. After drinking sugar-free milk tea several times, he finally discovered the beauty of sugar-free milk tea.

"If you don't put candy, you can taste the fragrance of tea better." Chu Tiankuo was full of praise.

Lu Yan: I’m afraid you’ll get high at a young age, so you’d better eat less sweets.

Lu Yan also launched pudding and double skin milk. In Lu Yan's opinion, the preparation of pudding and double skin milk is exactly the same as steamed egg custard.

Pudding is made by mixing egg liquid with sugar, mixing in milk, steaming it in a pot, and it comes out as original pudding. If you want it sweeter, you can also drizzle it with caramel sauce.

Double skin milk is a little more troublesome than pudding. Use only egg whites without egg yolks, and stir the egg whites evenly. Add sugar to the milk and heat it. After it is slightly boiled, pour it into a bowl. After a while, you will see a layer of milk skin forming on it. Then pour the milk into another bowl and keep the milk skin in the original bowl. Pour the egg white liquid into the milk and mix well, then pour it back into the bowl with a layer of milk skin left on it, steam it in a pot, and the double skin milk is ready. You can eat it empty-mouthed, or you can add jam or honeyed red beans. Red bean double-skinned milk is also very popular.

In addition to these kinds of dairy products, because the fruits were gradually declining, Lu Yan made several kinds of jams, including peach jam, strawberry jam, and a large basket of grapes, so fruit tea was also put on the agenda.

Speaking of fruit tea, I have to mention a drink that Lu Yan particularly loved when she was in school, and that was Mou Xue’s Peach Four Seasons Spring. This drink is also very convenient to make. Just brew the Four Seasons Spring Tea, add two tablespoons of peach jam, cut some peaches into it, and it's ready.

The most popular grape-related drinks are fleshy grapes. Remove the seeds from the grapes, leaving a few pieces of grape pulp, and squeeze all the remaining juice. Grape juice, grape pulp, and soaked tea soup will become fleshy grapes.

There are even more ways to make strawberry jam. The strawberry jam cake roll has received unanimous praise from everyone, and the strawberry milk is not inferior to the popularity of the milk tea, but the most surprising thing is the strawberry pie.

Lu Yan had been tinkering with cakes a while ago, and she had forgotten that there was a dessert like pie that did not require whipped egg whites or cream. Maimai's pie crust is crispy. In theory, it should be similar to the thin crust in pancakes. So Lu Yan tried to mix the dough with starch, oil and salt, made a large dough, and then cut it into small pieces. Roll it into a rectangular piece, add strawberry jam in the middle, fold it in half, seal the sides, put it in a frying pan and fry until golden brown. Sure enough, I made a crispy strawberry pie.

The popularity of strawberry pie is predictable, because it is not only a sweet dish, but also a fried food, double deliciousness and double pleasure, although it is also double the meat.

Since Lu Yan launched these snacks one after another, Weishi Shenshi, which was not crowded every day, has gradually started to have people coming. Lu Ji's previous audience was mostly people from middle-income families, families with a little extra money but not wealthy. However, after these dairy products and snacks became popular, they attracted many rich and wealthy households, and maids and servants would come to buy them from time to time carrying food boxes. Lu Ji's daily profit has gradually stabilized at between two and three taels.

These changes were all expected by Lu Yan, and there was another change that was unexpected by Lu Yan. Since then, Zhang Chang has become a frequent visitor to Lu Ji.

Zhang Chang is different from other county school students. Other students are afraid of missing class time, so they stay in Luji for a short time. But Zhang Chang didn't seem to have such worries. Several times, Lu Yan saw him sitting in the store eating desserts and drinking fruit tea even though it was already time for class.

After this continued for a few days, Lu Yan finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, aren't you going to class?"

Zhang Chang smiled bitterly: "There are some things that I can't figure out clearly and I can't learn them."

Lu Yan was in a gossipy mood: "Can you tell me something?"

Zhang Chang: "I don't know if I should study anymore."

Zhang Chang is twenty-one years old this year. He passed the imperial examination very early, but then failed. The year after next was supposed to be his second time taking the Jinshi exam, but he knew in his heart that he would not be able to pass the exam this time.

His fate was very similar to that of Chu Tiankuo. They both won the imperial examination when they were young, but failed to win the imperial examination. But Chu Tiankuo had a simple mind and no clutter, but he knew that he actually didn't like studying and didn't want to be an official.

Zhang Chang's family is a businessman. He was very envious when he heard about his father's experience as a businessman. He knew that he preferred to be a businessman. He wanted to follow the caravans around rather than sit in the county school and read a book that would take him who knows how long to finish. .

People around him told him that businessmen are at the bottom of society. No matter how many people want to study, they can't. If you change from a scholar to a businessman, you are going backwards and ruining your future. He has been hesitating about this all year.

Lu Yan's eyes widened after hearing Zhang Chang's troubles: "Excuse me, if you go out with the caravan, will the imperial court deprive you of your status as a civil servant?"

Zhang Chang shook his head blankly.

"You are already a master of public education, how can anyone dare to say that you are at the bottom of society???" Lu Yan couldn't understand: "Who is so arrogant? Has the person who said this been admitted to the public health system?"

Zhang Chang shook his head again.

Lu Yan: "Isn't it over? What are you worried about?"
