Chapter 2420 Waste Princess 8
This is because she saw that she was favored by the Queen Mother and did not dare to accept it.
Xi Ning smiled: "There is no reason to take back the money that goes out. Besides, there may be trouble for Weng Weng in the future, so Weng Weng can just take it."
The eunuch refused to accept anything, so Xining changed his approach: "It just so happens that I have something to entrust to Wengweng. I want some firewood, so I will use this money to buy firewood."
After hearing this, the eunuch just rolled his eyes and responded: "It's easy to talk, but I don't know when I want it?"
"The best today."
Firewood is not charcoal and is worthless. This is just giving away money. The eunuch immediately went to get firewood.
Half an hour later, the eunuch came over with two servants carrying firewood, and almost filled one wall of the yard.
Xining immediately called Chun'er and rewarded each of them with five dollars. Although it wasn't much, the meat on the mosquito's legs was still meat. It was originally used to work as a coolie, but they didn't expect to get rewarded. The two waiters happily accepted it.
The eunuch saw that she was not a picky master, so he said: "My servant is currently the steward of the dining room, my name is Xin Yi. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to the dining room to see me."
"Okay, thank you Weng Weng." Xining still addressed him with his honorific title.
After Xin Yi saluted, he left with his two servants.
As soon as they left, Chun'er murmured dissatisfiedly: "This firewood is not worth five taels of silver, and I gave you a reward. It's hard to get some money, and the princess can't spend it like this."
As soon as this man left, he said this without fear of others hearing him. You must know that in the palace, there are some people with good eyesight and good ears.
Xining sighed: "They are all poor people. When they get old, they will have to rely on the money they have saved." If they don't give money, can they get so much firewood? It's up to you to pick up branches, which will take about half a year.
You can't cut down the trees in the yard casually, you can only pick up the branches that fall on the ground.
Just like why do people buy firewood, and why do firewood cutters walk more than ten kilometers to pick firewood from the mountains to sell at the market? Because the mountains and forests are all owned by owners, you can only cut firewood in places where the owner has loose control or where there is no owner for the time being. Otherwise, if you are caught, you can be accused of theft and be beaten to death.
Chun'er loves money. She gets one or two silver a month. The princess's monthly money is ten taels, but she doesn't know where the money is. When the wet nurse was there, she could still get it. After the wet nurse died, the money was passed to Mrs. Jiang Shu. I went to ask Mrs. Jiang Shu once, but she said she didn't understand the rules and dared to question the concubine. The master and servant were both punished to kneel in the yard for two hours before they passed out. I never dared to ask again.
But the fourteenth princess is gone, and the slave can't say anything.
Xining understood clearly and urged Chun'er to light a fire.
The fire was lit, the shelf was put on, and a clay pot filled with half a pot of water was hung on the shelf.
"Princess, what are you doing?" Chun'er screamed. Then I saw the fourteenth princess pouring a bag of salt into the clay pot.
"Keep your voice down, I'm making something." Xining sat sideways on the small straw mat next to him, looking at the fire: "Go and do your work. Have you tidied up the house and washed the clothes? Work quickly, otherwise you won't be paid. You eat.”
Chun'er has no choice but to go to work. If the princess wants salt, just do it. As long as she is happy, the worst is to have dinner without salt.
Xining boiled salt water from morning to afternoon and used up a quarter of the firewood. Only then did he see what he wanted.
She carefully poured the already very thick salt water, less than one-tenth of it, onto the fine linen cloth and filtered it. Then she poured the filtered thick salt water onto the iron plate and continued to warm it. After baking for more than an hour, the salt water slowly rose, and finally I saw that the salt water on the edge was dried, and a circle of white frost-like things was thinly surrounding the thick salt water that was as thick as brine.
Filter it again. At this time, the linen has a lot of coagulation containing moisture. Then pour it into the iron plate and fry it carefully until it is dry. This is refined salt. Just in case, when she arrived in the modern plane, she searched for some skills, such as salt, cement, ice making, soap, antibiotics, oil consumption, chewing gum, face cream, powder, mosquito coils... Sure enough, she used them this time .
I don’t want to make a fortune from this, so I’d better follow the original development rules of this plane. Removing things from hundreds of years or even a thousand years later will not mess up the whole world. You must know that "the trees that are as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Even if she conquers the country for the body master, the body master may not be able to withstand it.
Looking at the small bag of refined salt that was boiled out, it was only half of the coarse salt before, and I sighed that it was not easy.
For dinner, make pancakes with flour and bake the remaining vegetables into the pancakes.
Because of the use of refined salt, Xi Ning felt that her taste buds were finally alive again. The coarse salt with a bitter taste is really difficult to digest.
But look at Chun'er, this silly girl keeps eating without even raising her head. After eating, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "Princess, the cake today was particularly delicious."
Nonsense, I used the refined salt that my sister boiled for most of the day, so it’s no wonder it doesn’t taste good.
Early the next morning, Xining went to the Queen Mother.
As soon as she saw her, the maid immediately called the Queen Mother's maid Fuling. Poria is about thirty years old. Although she is not the Queen Mother's dowry, she is still quite old in the palace.
Fu Ling raised her hands, folding her left and right palms in salute. After the salute, he led the way, smiling like flowers along the way: "Yesterday, Linling told the good news to the inside and outside of the palace. It was not all arranged properly, just waiting for the fourteenth princess to come over."
The small kitchen is located in a corner of the yard. The mud outside was compacted, and a cook was wearing a sleeveless open coat and leading an apprentice to cut the legs of mutton. There are all kinds of pots and pans inside. There is a long wooden table in the middle with various ingredients. Three cooks are busy chopping and cooking.
Even the water in the water tank is pumped, and there is always enough water.
Fu Ling led her to a small wooden stand nearby, which was also piled with ingredients: "This is the princess's quota. If it's not enough, feel free to use what's on the table next to you."
He turned and shouted to the room full of people: "This is the Fourteenth Princess. If she gives any orders, you must all help her. Otherwise, something will go wrong and the Queen Mother will be unhappy, and no one can protect her."
Only a small number of people put down what they were doing. It can be seen that some people just said "here" and just kept busy, so they followed the shout and went about their own business.
Poria turned to her and said: "No matter the food, the things used here, or the people here, the Fourteenth Princess can use it, but the maid has something to do, so please leave first."
Xining nodded slightly, agreeing.
Poria saluted, and Chun'er, who was standing beside her, quickly returned the salute. Fu Ling smiled and turned to leave.
The Queen Mother will have breakfast in an hour, so let's make it quickly. Seeing that there are radishes among the ingredients on the table, it seems that the Queen Mother listened to what she said yesterday. She asked for radish and was waiting to eat radish balls.
There was a frying pan nearby, and the cook was boiling butter. That's great, you can fry it, otherwise the radish balls will taste much worse if they are not fried.
Cut the radish into shreds. Who said there is no shredding tool in this plane? I secretly pinched some refined salt from the salt bag and sprinkled it in. Pour in the flour and add a small amount of water and mix well.
Then everyone in the kitchen stared at her, watching her squeeze it with one hand and scoop it out with a spoon, and a ball went into the pan.
It's actually fried, this is too arrogant!
The Queen Mother got up, finished dressing, sat down on the small table, and prepared to eat.
