The best male concubine who traveled through time

In the papermaking room temporarily planned by the Ministry of Industry, Ye Yang directed the craftsmen to soak various papermaking raw materials in different large water tanks in different grades, and marked them with dates.

Because the soaking time of different raw materials is different, it is necessary to record the date for future operation.

At this time, Xiao Douding hurried over and said, "My lord, the craftsmen who went to the mountain to find stones have returned."

"I gonna go see!"

Ye Yang hurried out of the paper making room and went to the yard at the main entrance of the Ministry of Industry.

Before the others arrived, the flattering laughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry came, "Mr. Ye Concubine, these are the stones of various colors that the craftsmen worked so hard to find today."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is a man in his forties, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, not tall, with a thin body, and he looks old and cunning.

Ye Yang nodded, he walked into the courtyard, looked at the various stones on the ground, feeling dazzled.

He rubbed his temples and checked the stones one by one, but they were all ordinary stones, which made him a little discouraged.

"what?"

When he passed a milky white stone, he quickly bent down to pick it up and observed it carefully.

"Young Concubine Ye, have you found the stone you were looking for?" Minister of the Ministry of Industry came over and asked curiously.

"Well, it's this stone." Ye Yang nodded, raised the stone high, and asked loudly, "Who picked up this stone?"

Wang Dazhu looked at the stone he picked up casually, also with a look of astonishment, he came out and replied respectfully: "Mr. Ye Concubine, I picked it up."

"Very good, this is the stone. Tomorrow you will take everyone to mine this stone. The more the better."

Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction, how nice he is, he found the quartz stone so quickly, he said loudly: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work. When the glass is made, all of them will be rewarded."

As soon as they heard that there is a reward, everyone is very motivated, and they can't wait to make the glass in Ye Yang's mouth immediately.

But they were too happy, after they worked so hard to carry the quartz stone back to the Ministry of Industry, Ye Yang immediately asked them to smash the quartz stone with a hammer.

Especially when they heard that the stone was about to be smashed into sand, their eyes widened and they thought they heard it wrong.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. When the quartz stone is smashed into quartz sand, I will invite everyone to eat delicious food."

Ye Yang also knows that quartz stones are extremely hard, and it takes time and effort to smash them manually, but in this era without machines, they can only be smashed by people with brute force.

Ah bah, who wants to eat delicious food!The rock is so hard, how long will it take them to hit it?

A group of craftsmen have nothing to love at this moment, secretly cursing themselves for what kind of bloody bad luck, why are they assigned to the glass making group?

Ye Yang said that when the craftsmen smashed the quartz stones into quartz sand, he would treat them to delicious food, but when he saw the craftsmen doing foreign work the next day, he knew that it was useless to draw big cakes, and he had to take practical actions.

So he assigned several guards to pick wild oranges on the mountain that day.

Because the oranges of this dynasty were small, with hard skins and very sour, even children would not eat them, resulting in wild oranges all over the mountain.

So not long after the guards went out, they came back with a basket of wild oranges.

Seeing that the guards had picked so many sour oranges, Minister of the Ministry of Industry asked in puzzlement, "What are you doing picking these things?"

"Young Concubine Ye asked us to pick it."

The guards replied truthfully.

"What are you doing picking this thing? It's something that even my slaves don't know how to eat."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry pursed his mouth and didn't care too much. He told them to send the sour orange to Mr. Concubine Ye. He felt his teeth hurt even if he took a second look at it.

The guard went to the glass workshop with a basket of oranges on his back, watched the craftsmen roll up their sleeves, smashed the quartz stone with a sledgehammer, and mourned for them.

Originally, life was quite leisurely, but when Ye Yang came, the leisurely days were gone, and he still worked so hard to smash stones every day, how pitiful!

Ye Yang, who supervised the craftsmen, saw that they had picked the sour oranges and asked them to send them to the kitchen, and he followed them to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xiao Douding, who had been serving Ye Yang the whole time, quickly followed Ye Yang's footsteps.

As soon as Ye Yang left, everyone put down the sledgehammer in their hands, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and complained.

"It's okay to work so hard every day. He said he would treat us to delicious food, but he actually treated us to sour oranges."

"I don't eat something so sour."

"That's right, my little baby even despises that orange for my little baby."

The craftsmen talked a lot. If it weren't for the fear of beheading, some people might have already quit on strike.

In the kitchen of the Ministry of Industry, dozens of chefs were busy preparing lunch for all the craftsmen.

Seeing that Ye Yang was about to enter the kitchen, Xiao Douding hurriedly blocked Ye Yang's way, "Master, how can you enter the kitchen as the concubine of a country?"

The kitchen is for low class people to enter. As the concubine of a country, Ye Yang must never enter the kitchen.

"You just ignore that I am the concubine of a country?"

Ye Yang bypassed Xiao Douding and walked towards the kitchen.

"Young master, no!"

Xiao Douding hurried to catch up, but Ye Yang walked too fast, when he caught up, Ye Yang had already entered the kitchen.

Well, it's too late to stop now, Xiao Douding can only watch Ye Yang step into the kitchen.

None of the chefs had seen Ye Yang, seeing him dressed luxuriously, they thought he was the son of a certain family, so they ignored it and continued cooking lunch.

Seeing that the chefs didn't salute Ye Yang, the guards were about to yell at them, but Ye Yang stopped them with his hand, "Don't shout, it's fine like this."

Ye Yang was most annoyed by the various etiquettes of this dynasty, so he saved as much as he could, and said with a smile: "Go and wash the lemons...ah, no, go and wash all the wild oranges and send them over."

That's right, what these guards picked were not wild oranges at all, but wild lemons, which was why they were so sour that no one dared to eat them.

The guards were speechless. How could they be the guards of the Ministry of Defense? How could they be reduced to washing oranges?

Although I was dissatisfied, I still carried the lemons to the water tank honestly, poured all the lemons in the basket into the vegetable bowl, and scooped water to wash the lemons.

Ye Yang asked Xiao Douding to go to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to ask for some ice cubes stored in winter.

After Xiao Douding heard this, he looked embarrassed, "Young master, this ice cube is a rare item, and I am afraid that Lord Shang Shu will not give it to you."

"Just say that I borrowed it and pay him back another day."

"My lord, we don't have any ice cubes, what do you have to pay for it?" Wouldn't it be to wait until it snows in winter to pay it back?

"I don't have time to make ice cubes right now. When I am free, I will make as many ice cubes as I want."

Ye Yang can't find so much saltpeter now, otherwise he would use as much saltpeter to make ice as he would need.

"Ice cubes?" Xiao Douding felt that he couldn't keep up with Ye Yang's thinking.

Don't ice cubes freeze water into blocks when it's cold in winter?Why did you hear from Ye Yang that you can also make ice cubes now?

"Yeah, you will know when the time comes, so hurry up and borrow ice from Master Shangshu!"

Although Xiao Douding was full of doubts, he still ran to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to borrow ice cubes.

Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry learned that Ye Yang wanted ice cubes, so without further ado, he ordered someone to go to the cellar to fetch a large jar of ice cubes and give them to Xiao Douding.

After thanking Xiao Douding repeatedly, he returned to the stove with a jar of ice cubes in his arms.

When he came back, Ye Yang had already cut dozens of lemons and put them into a big empty water tank.

"Young master, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Douding smelled the sour smell and felt his teeth were sore.

The guards had already been taken out of the kitchen by the sour smell, and if the other chefs in the kitchen hadn't seen Ye Yang in luxurious clothes, they might have been cursed by the sour smell.

"It's just in time for you to come back, hurry up and let it go, I'm going to be sour."

Ye Yang only felt his teeth sore, countless saliva was secreted from his mouth, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Douding hurriedly put down the big earthenware pot in his arms, went to the water tank, scooped up a bucket of cool white tea prepared for the craftsmen, and poured it into the lemons.

Ye Yang picked up the honey from the stove, poured it all into the lemon under the pained faces of dozens of cooks.

Dozens of cooks were so humiliated looking at a large jar of honey, and felt a burst of heartache.

Someone couldn't stand it any longer, and came forward to argue, "Master, this honey is really valuable, why don't you waste it like this?"

Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this!Look, look, so much honey poured into sour oranges, what a waste of honey.

Seeing someone in his early years, another elderly cook came, he glanced at the lemon, and said, "Young master, I'm not talking about you, this orange is very sour, no matter how much honey you put in, it won't be sweet." !

If you want to eat oranges, go and buy oranges from Huangyu Dynasty. Although they are expensive, they are still cheaper than what you have been tossing about! "

I don't know how many Huangyu Dynasty oranges I can buy with this jar of honey.

Ye Yang has a little impression of the oranges of the Huangyu Dynasty. They are a bit like the mandarin oranges of his era, but they are far less sweet than mandarin oranges. Although the taste is not good, it seems to be a very popular fruit in this dynasty when fruits are rare. .

"Oranges are eaten like oranges, and I eat lemons like lemons."

After Ye Yang poured the honey in, when Xiao Douding poured more than half a tank of water, he stopped Xiao Douding from adding water, while he picked up a big spoon to stir.

The lemon, which is usually very sour, becomes less sour under the blending of water and honey, followed by the sweetness of honey and the fragrance of lemon.

"Oh, it smells good!"

Paozi who spoke first smelled the pleasant smell, and actually seemed to be drooling.

“It tastes good too!”

Ye Yang poured all the ice cubes into the lemon honey water, and immediately, a gust of cool air rushed over his face, cooling down the sweltering stove a lot.

After stirring evenly with a spoon, he picked up a bowl filled with a small amount of lemon honey water, put it on his lips and took a sip, a light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the first time he made so much lemon honey water, it was successful in one go, and the taste was just right, without adding honey or lemon.

"Try it too, it tastes good."

Ye Yang warmly invited the chefs to try it too.

"Forget it, I won't drink."

Paozi who spoke first waved his hands again and again, fearing that Ye Yang would force him to drink, he hastily turned and returned to his post.

"I don't drink either." Seeing that Ye Yang was looking at him, the second chef hurriedly turned around and returned to his post.

"..."

I think it's delicious, what are you hiding?
