prosperous national teacher

Su Yi suddenly became interested in making nougat scallion oil biscuits because Mu Yan's family collected a lot of eggs.

When Mu Yan was working as a free laborer for Su Yi and arranging the dishes for the banquet, Su Yi was crying for poverty. Mu Yan said that he could provide a lot of things, and then he talked about eggs.

Now that the weather is hot and there is no refrigerator, eggs go bad quickly.Mu Yan naturally has the freshest eggs to eat every day, and the rest can either be sold or rewarded to his servants.

In this way, there is still a lot of waste.After all, Mu Yan's family is rich, but the population is small.During this period of time, chickens lay a lot of eggs, and people who eat them can't finish them.

Of course, what Mu Yan said must be exaggerated.Eggs are a rarity anyway, and today's chickens are not as diligent in laying eggs as the chickens of later generations - there is no feed, and the nutrition cannot keep up.Mu Yan just wants Su Yi to use his own things with peace of mind.

However, Su Yi later came up with a tofu banquet, and Mu Yan's family didn't need much food.Su Yi, a silly boy, really thought that the eggs of Mu Yan's family would be wasted, and offered to help Mu Yan solve this problem by thinking of many foods that needed eggs.

Of course Su Yi thought of dessert.

Although Chinese desserts are delicious in later generations, but looking at the western pastry shops that are blooming everywhere, and the female compatriots who are desperately trying to lose weight because of all kinds of western pastry, you know that at least in terms of desserts, the West is indeed better than China.

It is not difficult to understand that the difference is mainly the influence of dietary composition.

The elders accompanied by Su Yi are rich and free, and many of them are proficient in cooking. In order to please them, and he loves to eat, Su Yi learned a lot from him.

Desserts, which are more stylish and easy to give away, are the first choice of elders who want to show off their cooking. Su Yi naturally learned a lot.

Su Yi wanted to make desserts before, but milk was hard to come by. Most of his favorite desserts needed milk, and then he had a lot of work to do. Su Yi had already run out of time to improve the dishes of the main meal, so he temporarily forgot about desserts.

Now Su Yi remembered again, Mu Yan can still provide milk and goat's milk, so when not making dessert now?Originally, Su Yi wanted to make cakes, but the storage period of cakes is not long, and making large quantities requires an oven, so he chose biscuits first.

The shelf life of biscuits is longer, and the production tools can be simple, not necessarily an oven.Try Su Yi's desserts, biscuits are more suitable.

Biscuits don't necessarily need eggs, but the biscuits that Su Yi likes to eat do.

Su Yi's favorite biscuits are nougat sandwich biscuits.Nougat is made from protein and sugar as the main raw materials.

At this time, there is already "stone honey".Stone honey is what is called brown sugar cubes in modern times.Although it is not as good-looking as the sugar of the later generations, and the sweetness is slightly lower, it is enough to make biscuits.

However, Shimi is considered a precious thing now, and Mu Yan took out so much Shimi in one go for Su Yi to spend, which can be said to be a deep friendship.Su Yi... Su Yi still didn't know that brown sugar cubes were very expensive. Later, when he knew, he thought about spreading the method of making soup.

Currently, he uses Mu Yan's stock of stone honey to make delicious scallion nougat biscuits, which has made Mu Yan addicted to eating them. Every day, he keeps the biscuits in his purse, and takes out a piece from time to time to take a bite .

Mu Yan's colleagues have known for a long time that Mu Yan has new dim sum to eat, and it looks delicious.But this guy is very stingy, even if the emperor asked him, he would not give it.

The emperor said, "If you don't give it to me, can't you ask my son for it?"

Before the emperor asked for it, Su Yi himself sent a box of biscuits to each of the three giants in the palace.

The eggs belonged to Mu Yan, and the stone honey belonged to Mu Yan. Even the flour was forgot to use his own, and he directly used Mu Yan's.After the finished product is ready, these biscuits have become Su Yi's.It can only be said that intellectual property rights are powerful.

After the emperor learned how to make biscuits, he knew that so many precious ingredients would be consumed—eggs were not cheap, and stone honey was even more precious.Advocating simplicity and leading by example, the emperor rejected Su Yi's idea of ​​giving him the biscuit making method for free.

In case he can't control it at that time, he always wants the palace to cook and eat.Now that he wants to eat, just ask Su Yi to give him a little bit.

Su Yi felt a little sad.The aristocratic families are so extravagant that they can only sprinkle jewels in the river for fun. As the king of a country, the emperor even has to think about eating a biscuit. The library can also top it.

After he recognized his identity, he had a deeper sense of identification with the three family members in the palace.He gradually began to think about making good use of his system so that he could better help his family.

But he didn't regret that he chose agriculture because he was cowardly.Food is the paramount necessity of the people.Science and technology will develop sooner or later. Now is the stage of accumulating productivity. To feed more people and avoid famine is the most important thing on the minds of contemporary rulers.

Thinking of it this way, even my own cowardice has become noble!

After Su Yi finished the housewarming banquet, he "retired".Except for Mu Yan and the people in the palace who can come in and out at any time, all the guests are turned away by him, and he doesn't show any kindness.

Su Yi has always been a nerd and doesn't like socializing, and people in Beijing are used to it now.He is also a Taoist priest, "no family, no reason", barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, now that Su Yi has regained his memory, he is no longer afraid that the emperor will not support him, so his attitude is tougher.Those who were turned away were helpless.

Moreover, the attitudes of the several aristocratic families in Beijing are very calm.They seemed to treat Su Yi very politely, and after their children were rejected, they also took it for granted and did not complain about Su Yi.

Therefore, even if other inferior families have resentment in their hearts, they will not be the top bird.

What's more, they were also in awe of Su Yi.Su Yi showed too many magical methods.

In fact, the attitudes of those aristocratic families are due to Mu Yan's dealing with them.

The Mu family can be considered a top-notch family, and they will give Mu Yan face.Mu Yan greeted the people of those aristocratic families in advance, saying that Su Tianshi wanted to be quiet and didn't want to be disturbed by others, and hoped that it would be convenient for them.They all knew about this in advance, so naturally they wouldn't feel slighted because of Su Yi's "thank you guests behind closed doors".

Moreover, even for these aristocratic families, if Su Yi really doesn't give them face, they still have nothing to do.

Su Yi did not break the law or discipline, as long as he was trusted by the emperor, others would have nothing to do with him.

Furthermore, Su Yi had no enmity with them, let alone a conflict of interest.Even if they were determined, they could still deal with Su Yi, but who would use so much force on a Taoist priest?

Good iron is used wisely, and their political enemies are not without feuds. If they want to fight to the death, they have to fight with these people.

Generally speaking, Su Yi is still an outsider, so the danger is not great.

Su Yi was very leisurely for a while.

During this period of time, he was tossing about essential oils.Essential oils were a gift to queens.Now is the season when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. Collecting petals to make essential oils has plenty of raw materials.

Flowers are also one of the tributes. In addition to spices, the aromatherapy in the palace will use more natural aromatherapy products.Such as fresh flowers, dried flowers and fruits.

Especially in the season when flowers and fruits are in abundance, these two kinds of people who gain power in the palace will replace aromatherapy.Because this kind of fragrance is more natural, it will give people a different feeling in the palace full of aromatherapy.

But only those who are particularly favored can enjoy it.After all, things like fruits and flowers are not public goods, especially for smelling.

In the history of Suyi, probably only the queen mother can use fruit aromatherapy all the time. If it is a powerful and extravagant queen mother like Cixi, she will use scented fruits all year round.

The empress is in a very good relationship now, and there are many good things in Mu Yan's house that she doesn't need, so there is no shortage of flowers and fruits that Su Yi uses to make essential oils.

What surprised Su Yi the most was that there were large frames of roses available for spoiling.Su Yi always thought that roses should not grow long, but he did not expect that roses are now grown on a large scale and provided to noble families.The aristocrats said that after the roses were dried, they were used to soak in water or to make incense.

When Su Yi came into contact with essential oils, he vaguely remembered that someone said that roses were the flowers of assassins and knights in ancient China, and he thought that they would not be in the hall of elegance.

Rose essential oil is especially good for women's health, and it is one of the few essential oils that can be eaten directly and used on the skin without blending.It was called "the queen of essential oils" by later advertisements.

Physicians at this time have studied some of the medicinal effects of roses, and the benefits for women are also recorded.But now roses are mostly soaked in water directly, used for aromatherapy, or ground into pieces and used directly as a mask.

It was only at this time that Su Yi realized that the mask culture was so long ago.

Because the noblewomen in Beijing are more interested in roses, and the gardens of the nobles in Beijing are not all planted with food. Naturally, there are small manors that specialize in planting flowers, and there are quite a few roses.

The royal family has it, the Mu family has it, Su Yi...of course Su Yi doesn't have it.All his current assets are the Zhuangzi bestowed by the emperor.In the eyes of the aristocrats in Beijing, he can be regarded as the "extremely poor" class.

This "extreme poverty" is really an exaggeration.

It is best to use roses that have been picked within a day as raw materials for rose essential oil.There are roses in Beijing, so Su Yi can make rose essential oil.

Mu Yan originally wanted to say that the roses in Beijing are not good, and the best roses are the tribute roses from Jibei County.Aristocrats in Beijing often use roses from Jibei County as tributes to scent or make tea, which is much more fragrant than the roses produced in Zhuangzi in Beijing.But Su Yi said that roses that had been picked within a day were needed as raw materials, so he didn't mention it.

The essential oil extraction process is quite simple, but it takes a lot of time and raw materials, so Su Yi originally wanted to make more types, but then he gave up and only made rose essential oil, not much.

Su Yi asked the queen to take a drop of rose essential oil in the morning and evening, and then wipe her face with a drop of rose essential oil.If used in this way, it will probably be used up in one month at most.

Su Yi only makes essential oils and has never used them. God knows what effect a month will have.But the queen was very happy to receive it.

At least the scent is pleasant.
