Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cream Cake

The vicious consequences of the destruction of the new city finally began to emerge gradually, due to the complete stagnation of steelmaking, many projects in the capital were stopped, and the new city wall had to wait until the first batch of steel materials from Xuzhou Shougang arrived before the construction could be started. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The supply of textiles, forging, leather goods processing, and even spirits has become very scarce, and the people of Xudu seem to be very uncomfortable with the supply of these things, so the once hoarded goods have been copied to sky-high prices, and even then consumer goods such as spirits are still priceless.

With the gradual shrinkage and deformity of the market, the common people are better to say, after all, as long as they can eat and dress warmly, there will be basically no more complaints, but the nobles of Xudu can't stand it, they are used to drinking Yunji's good wine, and then let them drink ordinary wine, they will definitely not do it, and as soon as the market shrinks, the first impact on the shops they opened is the greatest.

Now not only do you have to spend more money on luxury daily necessities, but your income is still suffering, which will not be easy for anyone, especially these insatiable aristocrats.

So the upper-class people in Xu Du began to be irritable, they didn't complain that Yun Ji's spirits were too expensive, but all complained about Cao Ren's no, he didn't have that ability, he wanted to pick up the burden of the new city, and in the end he couldn't play it, and destroyed the entire new city, so that all the people in Xu Du were unlucky, isn't this full of food?

Impeachment, which must be impeached severely, was immediately agreed among the nobles, so the theme of the daily court meeting revolved around Cao Ren's stupidity.

Cao Cao looked at the impeachment recital on the table, and he felt that the headache began to be committed again, and he thought that the affairs of Xincheng had been dealt with properly, but it turned out to be such a scene, his own clan brother really poked a big hole, and some people in the court even began to question him Cao Cao's correctness in employing people, which was simply a disaster.

What made Cao Cao even more angry was that he found Yuan Yun and Cao Ang to talk about how to deal with this matter, as long as the two of them agreed to take over Xincheng now, those irritable voices in the court would naturally calm down, who knew that Yuan Yun, a little bastard, was sick and said that he couldn't get out of bed.

"This is just a fart, this bastard little bastard, it's just lawless, the old man called him to come, he didn't dare to come, he should hit his board." Cao Cao knocked on the table in the study very angrily.

Seeing his father's unhappy face, Cao Ang hurriedly comforted: "Brother Yun may be really sick, and my father also knows that he has always been a thin little body. ”

Cao Cao replied impatiently: "That kid is a hob meat, what does it mean that he can't get out of bed?" Yesterday Cao Jie came back and talked to me, saying that this bastard built two bicycles, and rode with Cao Chong in the back house for an afternoon, Cao Jie asked the old man to come forward to ask for one, what a bastard, and played a trick with the old man. ”

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and didn't answer, just sat quietly on the side, Xincheng's current appearance really made people angry, but he had already made up his mind, he must let Cao Ren be in charge of rebuilding, this must not be changed, even if his father gives him great pressure today, he must withstand it.

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Ang's frowning brows, and then at the unhappy face of the lord Cao Cao, and immediately shook his head and smiled: "If Xincheng doesn't get Yuan Hou back, it is estimated that only the prince will do it alone, and I am afraid that he will still not be able to block the mouths of the princes of the court, and this matter still has to be done by Yuan Hou." ”

Cao Cao leaned into the Taishi chair very lazily, and then said: "Since Fengxiao said so, then it is better to leave it to you to do this, you should be able to come up with a way to force this kid." ”

Guo Jia didn't rush to answer, but glanced at Cao Cao who was sitting in the comfortable Taishi chair, before this master was very resistant to these new things, and now after Cao Fu has the convenience of floor heating, this master no longer rejects new things, that is to say, Yuan has already stood firm in Cao Cao's heart.

After thinking of this, Guo Jia hurried back and said: "The lord's words are wrong, Yuan Hou naturally doesn't want to care about this matter, after all, Cao Ren first robbed the new city, and recently sent someone to assassinate Yuan Hou's concubine. ”

Cao Cao frowned, looked at Cao Ang again, and then said, "Cao Ang, you go and bring that kid, aren't you best friends?" ”

Cao Ang smiled, and instantly shook his head decisively and said: "Father, don't look at me, Brother Yun will definitely not take care of me, let alone him, I don't want to wipe General Cao Ren's ass." ”

Cao Cao heard that Cao Ang actually called Cao Ren a general, not an uncle, and somewhat guessed that his eldest son was also really angry, after all, assassination is indeed very bad, and as the head of the Cao family, he is indeed a little biased when dealing with Cao Ren.

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was starting to be embarrassed, and immediately continued: "The lord might as well go to Yuan's mansion, if you say it yourself, Yuan Hou will naturally not object." ”

"What?! Tell the old man to bow his head to that little bastard? It's against him! Cao Cao was furious.

Guo Jia hurriedly explained: "The lord's words are wrong, you are here to see Cao Qinghe, after all, as the eldest daughter of the Cao family, you married into the Yuan family, why do you have to go to a relative, isn't it?" And you are an elder, even if Yuan Yun is sick in bed, he has to climb up, right? If he really dared to lie on the bed and not get up, wouldn't you slap him on the back of the head? ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed, and then looked at his palm repeatedly, it was indeed a long time since he had slapped Yuan Yun, and today he went to be comfortable, and he was idle anyway.

Idle in Yuan's mansion all day long, even if he is like Yuan Yun, he is suffocated, Wen Ji is busy teaching the children homework, Liu Yiyi is busy with business, Cao Qinghe can only wander around the courtyard for a while a day, and he can't talk for a long time and he must let her rest.

The boredom gradually spread all over the body, as if it couldn't stop itching, and finally Yuan Yun decided that he had to do something to pass the time, the drawings didn't need to be drawn anymore, the city wall of Xudu had been designed, and as for the construction of Luoyang, it could not be designed in advance if it was not local.

Let's get some afternoon tea, although the cooking skills are not very good, but the recipes recorded by the chip in the brain can make up for a lot of shortcomings, so I decided, just go get a few snacks, the previously developed toffee is only half of the progress, at the moment it is better to get a cream cake if you have time.

Flour, eggs, milk, salt, sugar, oil, all together are ready in an instant.

Qing'er is indeed the most diligent helper, and what she needs now is to wipe the bottom of the steel pot dry, and not a drop of water can exist.

Beat four eggs first, and suddenly felt that it was not enough, after all, there are so many people in the family, so I simply changed a large porcelain bowl, and broke all the dozen eggs at a time, followed by egg white separation, and finally stirred a bowl full of egg whites.

Since Shi Shen is starting to drool, he must pay labor, and stirring this thing requires someone as strong as him, but he is reluctant to Qing'er to do this rough work.

In order to accentuate the sweeter sensation, it is necessary to add some salt, which will make the flavor of the sugar more prominent.

Everything is almost over, just continue to stir, this matter still has to be sunk, who let this thing keep swallowing saliva, no matter what he Yuan Yun is doing, in case Lao Tzu is making poison, I don't know what kind of expression this guy will have?

Finally reached the stage of stuffy pot, this time must be patient, it takes at least thirty minutes, there is no rice cooker in this era that can have its own timer, so Yuan Yun can only explain that Xiao Liu stared at the moment and missed it, and he slipped away to the back house to see Cao Qinghe, if she woke up from a nap, she would also get her a cream cake to taste later.

Sure enough, Cao Qinghe was taking a nap, Xing'er supported her chin with one hand, and she was also in a daze, until Yuan Yun arrived by her side, she suddenly woke up, and immediately prepared to go into the house to call her young lady to get up.

Yuan Yun stopped it, then stretched his neck to look at the house, and saw that it was very quiet, so he suppressed his voice and said: "Let Qinghe'er sleep more, I'm making cream cakes, thinking about sending some to Qinghe'er, since I'm sleeping, I'll bother Miss Xing'er to come to the kitchen of the back house for a while." ”

When Xing'er heard the word cream cake, she only felt that her saliva was about to drip down, no matter whether she had seen it or not, as long as Yuan Yun cooked it himself, it would definitely be a delicacy, and after hearing the word cream cake, she felt that this thing was inexplicably very attractive to herself, so she quickly nodded her head and agreed.

When Yuan Yun returned from Cao Qinghe, the cream in the stuffy pot was almost there, so in front of everyone, Yuan Yun hugged his hand with a block, opened the lid at once, and the sweet milk fragrance that entered his nose immediately filled the kitchen of the entire back house.

Shi Shen smiled, instantly took out the wine jug from his waist, and took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms, followed Yuan Yun for a long time, and it was not okay to carry chopsticks in his arms, because no one knew when this lord was interested, and he would cook in person, if he missed the food because he didn't have chopsticks, it would definitely be his own bad luck.

Yuan Yun looked at Shi Shen's wine jug in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and immediately frowned, kicked the idiot in front of him, and then said: "How can you use chopsticks to eat high-end goods like cream cake, and you have to drink wine, you dirt bun." ”

Shi Shen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately took the chopsticks back into his arms, and then pointed to the wine jug in his hand and said: "Lord, I can take any food to drink, and besides, I am not a lord in the first place, and the soil will be dirty, and it will not be in the way." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, and he no longer took care of Shi Shen, but looked at the cream in the pot, and then said with a smile: "Ben Hou hasn't eaten it for a long time, and I must serve my tongue well today." ”

After speaking, he carefully took out the cream cake in the pot, and then put it on the big table in the kitchen, Shi Shen and Xiao Liu also quietly surrounded them, even if they were killed today, they were willing to leave Yuan Yun half a step.

Gently tore off a small piece of cake, and then stuffed it into Qing'er's small mouth with a smile, this girl's face immediately became radiant, and the whole person seemed to be integrated into great happiness, and her smiling face was even a little flushed.

Yuan Yun looked at Qing'er's appearance, and guessed that this cream cake was a successful experiment, and it is estimated that it will become a big industry in Yuan's mansion, but it can no longer be handed over to Liu Yiyi to operate, and the family's business is basically about to be covered by her, and if it increases, she is estimated to be exhausted to death.

buckled his chin, Yuan Yun decided to give things like cakes to Cai Wenji, cakes are quite expensive, not something that ordinary people can eat often, or they have to greet those noble lords, and many of Cai Wenji's family's businesses are aimed at nobles, so it is better to hand them over to her.

After thinking about this, Yuan Yun also let go of his thoughts, so he also tore off a piece of cake and was about to stuff it into his mouth, when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head and was slapped hard.

Yuan Yun looked behind him, and just saw Cao Cao's face that was not angry and arrogant, so frightened that he almost jumped up, and with a shake of his hand, the huge cream cake slipped to the ground.

Cao Cao's eyes were quick, and he snatched it away, and then without thinking about it, he tore off a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and in an instant, a sweet and soft feeling filled his mouth, making people feel more comfortable.
