Chapter 59 Prince Yu’s new ideas
With the addition of Teng Xiang, Chen Hong, and Li Fang, the efficiency of Prince Yu’s Mansion has indeed become much better than before.
Before, Zhu Zaijing directed Meng Chong to do things alone. Although Meng Chong had no complaints, there were too many things in the palace. It was not normal for Meng Chong to always be ordered to do things by himself. of.
So with the three of them joining, not only could Meng Chong relax, but even Zhu Zaijing could move on to the second thing.
Yi Ran Tang has been on the market for almost two months. With such a high price and such a sweet taste, it is very attractive at first, but if you eat too much sugar, you will inevitably get bored.
Although it will not affect current sales and profits, it will not be a good thing in the long run.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing must take action to increase the richness of his products and provide more choices to attract more customers to come and spend.
So in Zhu Zaijing’s next plan, Zhu Zaijing is preparing to develop some new gadgets, such as candies.
But which flavor of candy is more refreshing?
Finally, after careful consideration, Zhu Zaijing decided to make mints!
Firstly, it’s because mints have a fresh taste and can give people a refreshing and refreshing feeling. Secondly, it’s also because mints are relatively easy to obtain.
After all, other fruits today have not been specially cultivated in a systematic way, and their sugar content is not good. Moreover, the technology for converting fruits into syrup that can be made into candies is not mature enough, and the cost of trial and error is high. high.
So mint, a candy with a large output and simple production, has entered Zhu Zaijing's plan.
During this period, Zhu Zaijing had been arranging for Meng Chong to purchase mint and then boil mint oil.
The smell of peppermint oil that has just been brewed is refreshing and makes the world feel cold.
Now it is the midsummer season after early summer, and the heat is beginning to rise. If you can hold a mouthful of mint candy at this time, although the slightest chill is not real, it can create an extremely comfortable feeling of coolness.
Just because of this characteristic, it’s no wonder that mints don’t explode in popularity!
"How's it going?"
Zhu Zaijing asked with concern as he watched the sweaty Meng Chong boiling syrup and adjusting the proportion of peppermint oil in the small workshop in the backyard of the palace. A sound.
Meng Chong wiped the sweat from his face and carefully replied to Zhu Zaijing: "It should be almost done."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Meng Chong who was already extremely hot and said worriedly: "You can take it out of the pot now. You should go and cool down quickly. I have prepared a yogurt for you in Bingjian and added some fruit pieces in it." . ”
When Meng Chong heard that Zhu Zaijing had prepared yogurt with fruit pieces for him in the ice cream, he was almost moved to tears.
Meng Chong said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this servant is not afraid of the heat."
Zhu Zaijing reprimanded directly: "Aren't you afraid of the heat? If I let you stay up for a while, you will probably suffer from heatstroke. Stop dawdling. I am not a stingy person. Hurry up."
Meng Chong felt happy after being scolded by Zhu Zaijing. He sighed and quickly put the pot into the pot. The boiled syrup and peppermint oil were poured into the candy mold on the side.
After he finished doing this, Zhu Zaijing urged Meng Chong to come out quickly.
It is really uncomfortable to be next to the stove in this summer, so Zhu Zaijing is also worried that if Meng Chong, a big fat man, really gets heat stroke, it will be in trouble.
Looking at the sweaty Meng Chong, Zhu Zaijing urged again: "Go and rinse it with water to cool down the heat. I will have the yogurt delivered to you later."
< br>Meng Chong was moved and bowed: "My slave, thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand directly and asked Meng Chong to leave.
Then Zhu Zaijing stood alone in the yard and thought. He was wondering whether to build a fan to cool down the heat. Although electric fans are not possible, steam fans should still be possible.
If designed properly, as long as the steam continues, the power of the steam can be used to drive a set of gear chains so that they can extend to a certain length, and then let them drive the blades of the fan, as if You can create a rotating fan that relies on steam power to keep spinning.
With this constantly rotating fan, it is a very nice thing whether it is here to cool down the workers who make mints, or it is extended to your own dormitory.
If a device that can place ice cubes is pretended to be behind the steam-driven fan, wouldn’t this be a cooling fan that is so cool that it takes off?
After thinking of this, Zhu Zaijing's eyes couldn't help but shine.
He felt that this matter was completely planned.
So just when Meng Chong went to cool off from the heat, Zhu Zaijing couldn't wait to come out of the small courtyard and immediately found Li Fang.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Li Fang, please help me find some skilled craftsmen. I will be of great use!"
Li Fang also didn't know that Zhu Zaijing was looking for craftsmen. What to do, but as a qualified slave, Li Fang still knows some things about her master, so it is better not to ask too much. As long as she does her master's instructions well, she is a good slave.
Li Fang said: "Yes, I will go find you now."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, and then continued to think about how to use steam.
After all, Zhu Zaijing only had a rough outline of this kind of thing in his mind. If he really wanted to do it, it would be another matter.
So you must think more and think about all the problems you can think of in advance, so that you can complete the design of the steam fan more smoothly.
Li Fang's work efficiency is also very reliable. Less than half an hour after Zhu Zaijing gave the order, he had already borrowed several craftsmen from the palace's construction department.
Zhu Zaijing looked at these old craftsmen and directly stated his thoughts and requirements without any nonsense.
These old craftsmen were also surprised when they heard Zhu Zaijing's incredible idea.
Although there are some doubts and questions in their hearts, they are not something they can raise at this time. Their first priority is to do their job well as required.
Zhu Zaijing was amazed when he saw the serious attitude of these old craftsmen and their exquisite craftsmanship.
The craftsmen of the royal family are still very good. Many problems can be solved in one click, and there is no need to explain anything with a lot of nonsense.
Just like the wooden gears and iron-clad chains they now carefully made, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but marvel at how their hands could be as precise as machines, and every cut and saw was just right.
Especially the steam valve they made according to Zhu Zaijing's request is even more ingenious. If it were not made of wood, Zhu Zaijing might think that they poured it out of a mold.
Looking at the steam fan that these craftsmen spent a day finally making, Zhu Zaijing was extremely excited.
As long as the pot of water below is boiled, the results of this test can be actually verified.
So after these craftsmen spliced the last fan blade, Zhu Zaijing also said to Meng Chong: "Go find some coal that can withstand burning. I want to see how this steam fan will work." It won’t spin.”
