Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 324 Sheltering you from the wind and rain! (5)
Habits are really a scary thing!

Liuqiao's state lasted for five days, until Yi Zhiyun's letter of safety was delivered to Lin's Village. Seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, his empty heart finally felt at ease.

"Mother, my husband said that he has arrived in Fucheng safely, and now he is living in Xiao's house, living in the same yard with Ah Yu." Liu Qiao handed the letter of safety to Yun, "Master Xiao is very kind to my husband. I personally hosted a banquet for my husband, and I also promised my husband to guide him before he returns to the capital."

Yun took the letter in a hurry, read it carefully over and over again, finally the sunshine appeared on his face that had been cloudy for many days, "That's good."

"I want to reply to my husband, but mother also wants to?" Liu Qiao asked.

Yun shook her head, "No, just go back and tell him I'm fine so he doesn't have to worry."

"Okay." Liu Qiao nodded, and then went back to the room to write a reply, but when the reply was written, Liu Qiao was dumbfounded, looking at the stack of replies in front of him, his face was extremely tangled, and finally decided to rewrite!

After sending out such a reply letter, why don't you let the young master die of a joke?

She can't hold back this face!
It's better for girls to be more reserved!

Half an hour later, the reply letter was written, the two pieces of paper had everything to say, and then the letter was packed and delivered to Lizheng. The mail delivery system in Dazhou is quite mature, and every county has The post station dedicated to delivering letters is responsible for the mail delivery of the entire county. Every two days, another courier goes to the village to deliver and receive letters.

Of course, this is a paid service.

Mailing a letter needs to be paid according to the distance of the journey, and from Yangzi County to the state capital, the cost is five Wen.

There are no postage stamps in this era, but after receiving the letter, paying the fee and recording the address to be delivered, the courier will stamp a mudmark on the seal of the envelope. The mudmark is the exclusive logo of the post station and is protected by law. Counterfeiter felony!
After receiving Yi Zhiyun's family letter to keep him safe, Liu Qiao's energy recovered, and then he began to prepare birthday gifts, and the best birthday gift was naturally a cake.

The main materials needed to make cakes are flour and eggs, but these two main materials alone are not enough.

First, the cake has to be baked.

Although there was an electric rice cooker to make cakes in the previous life, the texture was not as soft as baked. Moreover, there is no electric rice cooker in this era, only steaming.

However, without an oven or a rice cooker, Liu Qiao still tried steaming, mainly to see what the steamed water would look like.

But before steaming, there is another problem that needs to be solved, that is the problem of beating egg whites. Naturally, there is no egg beater here, so it can only be done by hand. It took two days of hard work to make the creamy shape I wanted, and I also let Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Zhang eat scrambled eggs for two days. When I looked at her, my eyes began to change, especially Mrs. Zhang, thinking that she was because Yi Zhiyun was not around. But when she was in a bad mood, she vented her anger with an egg. After comforting her, Haosheng gritted his teeth and drew an eggbeater according to the unclear memory in his mind. After carefully modifying it, he went to the city and found A blacksmith's shop and want to have one made to order.

But when they arrived, they looked at the blueprints but said they couldn't do it because the things were too detailed.

Liu Qiao was stunned, how delicate is this thing?
But she couldn't do anything if they couldn't do it, so she searched for several other companies, but in the end she still couldn't do it.

"Aqiao, don't worry, there are still a few houses that haven't gone yet." Lin Xiaoyan accompanied her out this time, and the reason was that Mrs. Zhang had secretly looked for her before, because she felt that her daughter's mood was a little abnormal, so Lin Xiaoyan asked Lin Xiaoyan to take care of her. Lin Xiaoyan was startled by Zhang's words, and then followed Liu Qiao step by step.

After Liu Qiao found out, she couldn't laugh or cry, she said it well, which convinced Lin Xiaoyan that it was all right, but today she said she was going to the city, Lin Xiaoyan still followed, even though she didn't want to come!

"Why don't you go to Mr. Jun's family for help?" Lin Gui, who was in charge of the driver, suggested.

Before Liu Qiao could say anything, Lin Xiaoyan spoke first, "Father, don't make up your mind!"

"It's a good idea." Liu Qiao said.

Lin Xiaoyan's complexion seemed to turn pale, she lowered her head and said nothing, and neither Lin Gui nor Liu Qiao noticed this change, she held the corner of her cotton-padded jacket for a long while before saying, "Since Aqiao wants to go, Let's go then."

"No." Liu Qiao looked at the blueprint in his hand and shook his head, "Gold and Jade Mantang sells food, how can this be made? Let's go to a jewelry store to try!"

Lin Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and asked, "Go to the jewelry store?"

"I've already made such fine hairpins as a jewelry store, so I can definitely make this thing!" Liu Qiao said, but the cost is estimated to be overrun, and it must be made even if it is rare.

"Okay, let's go clean up the shop." Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "Father, let's go!"

Lin Gui nana responded, and dragged the two of them to find a jewelry shop. Not all jewelry shops in this jewelry shop offer custom-made jewelry for customers. The first shop they found was just for sale, and the next one, Liu Qiao asked Lin Gui directly to buy jewelry. Gui found the best one in the county. After asking, the other party said that they have customized services.

Liu Qiao gave the blueprint to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked at it, went in and consulted some masters, and then took over the job. The cost was quite high as she expected.

But fortunately, it was still within the range she could bear.

Three days later, the egg beater was ready, but she had to let Yun and Zhang eat scrambled eggs for two days before she succeeded. Looking at the creamy egg whites that came out, Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I started to make steamed cakes.

As a result, as she had imagined, what was made was not so much a cake as a muffin.

Lin Xiaoyan tried some, and thought it tasted good.

But this is not what Liu Qiao wants.

If you can't steam it, you can only bake it.

Roast directly on the fire?
or……

Build your own oven?
Immediately, Liu Qiao thought of Jin Yu Man Tang's signature roast duck. Dang even ran away like Jin Yu Man Tang, and went directly to the kitchen to look at the oven. The so-called oven looked like a fireplace.

Liu Qiao observed it carefully, and after returning home, he immersed himself in painting and correcting for a whole day, added a grill to the roast duck oven, and then went to find Lin Jiasheng. Make an oven according to her blueprint.

As for the construction personnel, they naturally invited the shopkeeper full of gold and jade to help them find professionals.

The construction of the oven is not difficult, but it was done in two days. Liu Qiao let the oven sit for two days, and preheated it with fire several times before starting to work.
