Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 215 [Complete a task]

However, Xiao Taohong took a step back, lowered her head slightly, and did not speak.

"Really?" Lu Bu was suspicious, but didn't think much about it.Immediately, he found a few small ceramic plates, and wooden knives and forks made by Lu Bu himself, "Okay, ready, you can start tasting."

The cake was golden brown on the outside and looked a bit odd, but after being separated, the inside was fine.

Of course, there are still many gaps compared with modern bread and cakes.

"Taste how this cake tastes." Dividing out three small portions and placing them on three ceramic plates, Lu Bu picked up one plate and handed it to Diao Chan.

"It smells very sweet, are the grapes on it?"

Diao Chan finished the plate, looked at the triangular cake on the plate carefully, and could smell a sweet smell.

What's more, the cake also contains a bunch of grapes.

"That's right, it's grapes, the dried grapes added earlier." Lu Bu replied, "Quick, try it."

These raisins came from the Western Regions and were sold to Jiaozhou by merchants traveling thousands of miles. They were rare and very precious, and there were not many in Lu Bu's General's Mansion.

Picking up the chopsticks, Diao Chan was not used to using the newly made knife and fork by Lu Bu.She picked up a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth. After a while, she put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It smells like honey and grapes, and also... there's a faint smell of purple nai, soft, Sweet and sweet, the general's craftsmanship is really good."

There is no white sugar now, and ordinary maltose is not very good, so Lu Bu used honey instead of sugar.

As for "Zi Nai", that is, apples.

Apples are native to central and southeastern Europe, Central and West Asia, and Xinjiang, China.Apples have been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years. According to legend, the "Zi Nai" that Xia Yu ate was red apples. It can be seen that apples have a long history in China.

Lu Bu didn't know where the apples in the general came from, but he had eaten them and they tasted okay.The size and sweetness are not as good as modern apples, and they are more sour.

Using apples to make natural yeast, in addition to fermented flour, also wants to have a sweet and light apple flavor, so Lu Bu did not add any additional amount.

"Really? I'll try it."

Lu Bu was not very confident in his heart, so he tried it himself, "Well, it's not bad, but it needs to be further improved."

"It's really delicious, extremely delicious!" Xiao Taohong held the plate and ate with relish.

"That's right, just let go, eat more, don't waste it."

Only then did Lu Bu feel more confident, "If there is cheese, it will be more perfect. Now we can only make do with it and figure out a way later."

"cheese?"

Diao Chan wondered, "Did the general think of something new?"

Xiao Taohong looked at Lu Bu in surprise, thinking: How many things are in the general's head?

"It's nothing, I just have an idea. But it can't be realized yet. If you like it, you can try to make cakes." Lu Bu smiled and didn't explain further. After all, things like cheese are not easy to make, so let's talk about it when the time comes .

Diao Chan nodded, "Wait a while, Xiao Taohong and I will try to make cakes as the general said."

The three of them ate a piece of bread and cake, and they still looked like they couldn't get enough of it afterwards.

At this moment, Butler Luo Kun came.

After saluting, Steward Luo Kun said, "General, Chen Gong is here."

Chen Gong had already been here in the morning, and now he came again suddenly, presumably there must be some business.

Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan, and before she could speak, Diao Chan said, "General, go and do your work, I will try making cakes with Xiao Taohong later."

"Yeah." Lu Bu nodded with a smile, "Come to me if you have anything to do." Then, Lu Bu pointed to the bag with the underpants on the side, and said, "Well, put it in the room for me later."

Diao Chan's face turned red immediately, and every time she thought of boxer underwear, she would think of the scene of tailoring clothes for Lu Bu at that time, which was very embarrassing, and at the same time had a little sweet taste.

"Yeah." Diao Chan nodded in response.

Afterwards, Lu Bu and Butler Luo Kun left the restaurant.

"Chen Gong is in the meeting hall? Did he say what's going on?" Lu Bu asked Butler Luo Kun on the way.

Steward Luo Kun replied: "Back to the general, Chen Gong is waiting in the meeting hall at the moment, and he didn't say what it was before, he just said that he wanted to meet the general."

Lu Bu nodded, thinking that he would know when he saw Chen Gong.Immediately, Lu Bu casually asked, "How is the steamed stuffed bun shop recently?"

Steward Luo Kun was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would suddenly bring up the matter of the general's steamed stuffed bun shop. He didn't dare to hide it, and replied:
"Returning to the General, the General Steamed Bun Shop now has ten stores, four in Nanhai County, three in Cangwu County and three in Hepu County. At present, the business is doing well, and it is very popular in all counties."

"It's not bad, but it's not enough. Hurry up and open new stores in the other three counties of Jiaozhou," Lu Bu said.

What he thought was that [Jiangjun Bun Shop], [Zuixian Wine House] and [Mulin Furniture] would open stores in all counties of Jiaozhou, so as to make money and at the same time facilitate the arrangement of [Arrested Sky Eye]. This is the key point.

"Don't worry, the general. The younger one will be arranged as soon as possible, and the general will never be disappointed." Butler Luo Kun was quite positive about this.

In addition to managing [General Baozi Shop] for Lu Bu, he and his family have also gained enough benefits from it, so why not do it.

Moreover, he did not expect that the general steamed stuffed bun shop would bring such a lot of money, which surprised and delighted him.

"Remember, doing business is doing business. Pay attention to fairness, voluntariness, and integrity. Don't use your power to bully or fool others. The salaries of shop assistants can be improved, but you must tell them to do things according to their duties!" Suddenly, Lu Bu changed the subject.

"Yes, please remember!" Butler Luo Kun wiped off his cold sweat and nodded solemnly.

When he came to the meeting room, Chen Gong was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, apparently he was resting, and he didn't know if he fell asleep.

"You go down first."

After ordering Housekeeper Luo Kun to leave, Lu Bu quietly walked into the meeting hall and came to Chen Gong. Looking at Chen Gong with a tired face, Lu Bu felt a little touched.

The main things in Jiaozhou are basically handled by Chen Gong, and with the shortage of manpower under him, he has been very busy.

Just when Lu Bu was about to wake up Chen Gong, a long-lost and somewhat unpleasant system prompt sounded in Lu Bu's mind:
[Congratulations to the host, a task has been completed. 】
