Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 31 Mooncake Mold
The night in ancient times was not like it is now. There was no electricity, and everything had to rely on wax or kerosene lamps. Lin Yuan’s house had a kerosene lamp, but the lamp oil was gone. Last month, Mrs. Liu told her grandma, Ms. Yang, in order to catch her embroidery. Embroidery work, I stayed up all night for several consecutive nights, and I have used up the only bit of lamp oil left at home.So in the past few days, the family has eaten early and gone to bed.

But Lin Yuan was in a hurry to make a model, so she had no choice but to go to Lan Hua's house to try her luck. Hearing that she was going to draw a light at night, Lan Hua asked her curiously for a long time.Lin Yuan liked this warm-hearted and carefree girl very much, and if her mooncakes really got bigger in the future, and she really needed help, she told her in detail.

The more Lan Hua listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she immediately said that she would also join Lin Yuan's mooncake team.Aunt Wang smiled and looked at the two sisters, and gave Lin Yuan the only wax head in the family.

Compared with their homemade lamp oil, the candles are more than one level brighter.Originally, Lin Yuan only wanted some lamp oil, but she didn't dare to hope for wax.Now seeing that Aunt Wang contributed all the only bit of wax in the family, and got the support of Aunt Wang, mother and daughter, she is even more motivated at the moment.As soon as I got home, I took the time to draw.

Lin Wei and Lin Wei also gathered around the kang head with excited faces, lying on the small table and watching the elder sister draw a round or square pattern stroke by stroke, neither of them dared to say more.

In order to become a better chef, Lin Yuan spent a lot of effort in learning pastry in her previous life. She doesn't know carpentry skills, so she only needs to draw the shapes and sizes of several moon cakes that she remembers.

However, although Lin Yuan dared to claim to be an excellent cook, she was not proficient in painting. The striped patterns she drew were basically indescribable.Fortunately, Lin Jiaxin is an excellent carpenter. He can not only do work, but also carve. Tables, chairs, and wardrobes all need to be carved with patterns for decoration. There are many such carpentry jobs sold.In the past, he always hired someone to draw and carved by himself, but after working for so many years, he has also developed his skills. Even if he doesn't look good, he can carve many beautiful and delicate patterns by himself.

So what Lin Yuan drew was a rough model. As for the patterns on the surface of the mooncakes, she just drew the outline of the patterns she wanted and wrote them on the side.

After a while, Lin Yuan drew more than a dozen styles. She planned to make two kinds of mooncakes, one with patterns on the surface, like some cloud patterns, symbolizing auspicious lines, and the other with Word.And she also made each kind of moon cake into two kinds of large size and small size.The big ones are more affordable, but the small ones are more delicate. She believes that as long as the taste is good enough and the appearance is pleasing enough, many people will be willing to buy them.

As for the engraving on the moon cakes, she also did a lot of tricks.She also divided the characters into two types, one is to engrave only one character, like Fu Lu Shou or something.In addition to this kind of one-character one, she also plans to make one that can engrave several characters, such as the full moon, reunion, and consummation.However, if you write a lot, it will test Lin Jiaxin's engraving skills and Lin Yuan's baking skills. If the engraving or baking skills are not good, these words can easily be mixed together, so she doesn't plan to put such The moon cakes are made into small sizes, but only large ones will do.

Seeing that the elder sister had finished drawing the picture, Xiao Linshuang came over with a smile, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Elder sister, is this good? When will you be able to make this mooncake? I want to eat it now."

Lin Wei poked her little sister's forehead with her fingers, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Little greedy cat, you know how to eat."

Lin Yuan was very happy when she finished the drawing, but when she heard Xiao Linshuang's words, she suddenly thought of a question: how would she bake this mooncake?

She used to have an oven for making mooncakes, but now she doesn't. She can't cook the mooncakes in a big pot like kang pancakes, can she?How about making your own oven?
The two sisters Lin Wei didn't notice that the elder sister's expression was wrong, and they were already talking and laughing and started burning wormwood to drive away the mosquitoes and got ready to go to bed.

Although there are no mosquitos blowing the trumpet in my ears tonight, but Lin Yuan was thinking about the homemade oven, she still didn't sleep well all night, and went to send the pattern to her father early the next morning with two panda eyes She didn't expect that it was Lin Jiaxin who solved this big problem for her.

Hearing his daughter talk about the oven in distress, Lin Jiaxin rarely burst out laughing: "Da Ya, Da Ya, you really have been worrying all night. When Dad went to work in the town, he saw the bakery in the shop. Iron box for moon cakes, this thing is not difficult to make, I will ask you Ershuan brother to go to the blacksmith shop in the town later, father has a little friendship with the old iron man who forges, and at most it is only one tael of silver. Our family now has a tael The silver is still available."

The one tael of silver that Lin Jiaxin was referring to was naturally the two taels of silver that he received from Yang when the family was separated yesterday.It happened that tomorrow Lin Yuan planned to go to the town to sell goji berries. If she met a doctor who knew the goods, it was still possible to sell these goji berries for a tael of silver.And she also wants to go to the best restaurant in the town to see, she has a culinary skill, but it is useless, if the owner of the restaurant is knowledgeable, maybe she can resume her old profession in this different world.

"Father, do you know which is the biggest restaurant in the town?"

Lin Jiaxin also often receives jobs in the town, so he naturally knows about these things.

"Of course the biggest restaurant is Fumanlou, which is the biggest and tallest restaurant on the main street. My dad used to make chairs for them." When talking about his carpentry skills, Lin Jiaxin's eyes are filled with a kind of veil. The unshakable brilliance and pride, being able to make chairs for Fumanlou, even the carpenters in the town are not so lucky.

"Really? Dad, do you know that they have female cooks?" Lin Yuan didn't expect her father to be so powerful, so she hurriedly asked what she cared about the most.

"Female cook?" Lin Jiaxin shook his head, "Where are there women cooks, even if there are, they are female cooks who cook small stoves for Miss Qianjin in rich families, and restaurants don't accept them."

Lin Yuan understood that in this day and age, women from rich families are not allowed to show their faces, and women from small families like them can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they have the ability to learn cooking?The women in the small village at most rely on washing and mending clothes or doing some embroidery work to earn money to supplement their household belongings, just like her mother Liu, who embroiders some handkerchiefs and sells them from time to time.

It seems that the way to become a female cook in a restaurant is no longer feasible.

Lin Yuan was lost for a while, but suddenly thought of one thing, since other restaurants don't accept her, can't she open a restaurant by herself?In her previous life, she thought about earning enough money to open a small restaurant by herself. Now that she has the opportunity, how can she not make good use of it?It's just that the capital to open a restaurant is too high. With her current ability, she still needs to earn money steadily!
