The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 116 Can these things be made?

"Is this the restaurant you opened?" Xia Weiwei was the first to come to her senses. Seeing Yang Biao still standing there stupidly holding the cake, she couldn't help but laugh, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh, this is a cream cake." He quickly put the cake on the table, handed her a paper tray and a wooden fork, and pretended to fork the cake. "Use this fork to eat it and taste it."

"Okay!" Xia Weiwei took the wooden fork, forked a little cake off the cream cake, and put it in her mouth. This bite had a rich milky aroma and a dense texture, as if it melted in her mouth instantly. "The taste is very special!"

"Do you like it?" Yang Biao saw that there was no smile on her face and was not sure whether she liked sweets.

"I like it. How is this made?" she asked, pointing at the cream on the cake.

"After continuously stirring the fresh milk, the water and fat in the milk are separated, and then the thick substance on the top is filtered out to remove some water to get the cream." The cream is too complicated to make, but he still told Xia Weiwei.

"What is fat?" Xia Weiwei didn't understand and wondered if she didn't read enough books.

"Simply put, it's a kind of oil." Fat is the main energy storage substance in cells, but it is too complicated to explain.

"Oh," so that's what's going on. She decided to go home and find a book to look it up, otherwise she was afraid that she wouldn't understand what Yang Biao was saying in the future.

"What about this cake?" Xia Weiwei asked again. Cake means literally, does it have eggs in it?

“After the eggs and sugar are fully beaten, add the flour and mix well, then bake.”

"Beat it thoroughly? Stir it?" Xia Weiwei didn't understand again. She felt crazy and doubted herself again.

"Whispering is a baking technique that makes things bigger and lighter. Stirring is to stir it with chopsticks, like this." He poured some tea into the bowl, put the chopsticks in, and kept stirring. The volume becomes bigger and the texture becomes lighter. It's better to say less about modern words.

"Oh," Xia Weiwei understood.

"Take your time eating. I'll go to another private room." It was better not to stay here, as he was afraid that this curious baby would ask him questions again. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't answer them, so Yang Biao quickly said goodbye.

"Weiwei, what are you looking at?" Liu saw Xia Weiwei staring at something on the table.

"Oh, this is the cream cake I brought back from a newly opened restaurant. Would you like to try it, mother?" Xia Weiwei stood up and came over and hugged Liu's arm.

"Cream cake?" Liu was very curious. She had never heard of this thing before. She sat down at the table and said, "Let me try it!"

"Mother, use this fork to eat." Xia Weiwei handed the unused wooden fork to Liu. She picked up another wooden fork, picked up a little more cake and started eating.

"Mother, how does it taste?" Seeing Liu took another piece of food, she must like it.

"It tastes very sweet and has a delicate texture." Liu described the feeling of eating the cream cake while eating.

"Fugui, go and deliver a letter to Yangjia Village in Xiangjia Town, telling them that I will not be going back for the New Year and will come home during the Dragon Boat Festival next year." The New Year is almost here, and he still hasn't repaid the 800,000 taels of silver. As the saying goes, "A debt-free life brings relief." In order to do this, he has to stay in the city to make money and pay off his debts.

"Okay, I will definitely deliver the letter." Fugui hurriedly took the letter, went back to pack some clothes, and rode his horse to Yangjia Village to deliver the letter to his master.

"The silk shop will open tomorrow!" Yang Biao was a little unsure, so he went to read a book to relieve his nervousness.

"Yang Biao, why aren't you asleep yet?" Qin Xiaoran finished washing up and saw that he was still reading. She came over and took his book and put it aside. "Hurry up and get some rest. Don't you have a silk shop to open tomorrow?"

"Okay." She pulled him to the bed. It was more important to keep his spirits up, so they lay down on the bed together.

"Why don't you close your eyes?" Qin Xiaoran covered his eyes with his hands to prevent him from opening them.

This was forcing him to turn off the phone and go to sleep. Yang Biao laughed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

"Master, bright colors should be placed here." Dongpi kept giving Yang Biao suggestions, making him upset.

"You just watch carefully, I'll go to another shop to take a look." Yang Biao still suppressed his inner restlessness. After all, Dongpi had been doing cloth business with Boss Wang for many years and had certain experience.

He decided to go to another shop, which had already been cleaned up by Chi Liang and his friends. He followed the same old routine and bought second-hand tables and chairs, painted them and prepared to start a barbecue business, which would open tomorrow.

"Master, do we have to grind all these into powder?" Tie Eryong and the others felt that their arms were about to become unresponsive after repeatedly using the stone mortar to grind various seasonings one by one.

"How many mortars do you have? If they are not enough, go buy some more." Seeing that they spent a long time grinding the mortar, but not much came out, he thought that he must call a few more people to work at the same time to improve efficiency.

He suddenly remembered the small handmade grinder that pepper merchants gave away when he bought pepper in modern times. If he asked a blacksmith to make a model of it according to his memory, wouldn't it be much faster to crank it by hand?

Yang Biao turned to ask Jiang Sheng, "I remember you told me that you bought three blacksmiths in Shuili County?"

"Master, you have a good memory. I bought three blacksmiths and they are still in the farm." Jiang Sheng wanted to cry when he said this. He had bought more than 50 people and still had some money left. The price of the three craftsmen was really expensive. He spent all the money he had on him, and they had to rely on street performances to make a living.

"You drive over and bring them here." While waiting, Yang Biao quickly got some paper and drew a model of a manual grinder with charcoal. After thinking for a while, he drew a model of an old sewing machine from the 1980s, which was foot-operated.

In modern times, in the 1980s and 1990s, it was very popular to give children sewing machines as dowries. My grandmother's family had one, which was given by my second aunt's family. When they were young, they often played with it as a toy.

When the three blacksmiths came over, he excitedly handed them the blueprints and said, "Take a look first. Can these things be made?"

"Master, what is this?" A blacksmith pointed to one of the objects on the blueprint. He had never seen it before, so he wanted to ask clearly.

"It's a screw." Yang Biao looked over and picked up a pear from the table and peeled it in circles. "It's like a thin piece of iron. Rotate it around like this and peel off a layer of skin."

"Oh," Yang Biao's realistic demonstration made the three blacksmiths understand instantly, but then they were embarrassed again, "Master, we don't have that much iron to make these things."

"It's okay, we can smash a few broken old iron pots." He had discovered a long time ago that there were several old pots with holes in the house in Baihua Lane, all piled in the corner of the firewood room.

"Let's go to Baihua Lane to forge iron." Yang Biao took the lead to get on the car. He couldn't wait to see the finished product.

"Wow, the clothes in this silk shop are so beautiful. Let's go in and take a look." Yang Biao made ready-made clothes based on modern clothing styles and combined them with ancient backgrounds. He hung them in front of the silk shop to attract customers.

"Boss, there's a silk shop opened in front of us, and they're trying to compete with us." Manager Gu, who runs another silk business, reported to his boss Xiang Qiang.

"Oh, this is outrageous! Find a few people to destroy the place!" Xiang Qiang went over to check it out, and felt uncomfortable when he saw that the competitor's shop was crowded with people.
