Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 81: Designing a Snack Cart

Wang Pingan brought Li Tai and Li Lizhi to Wangjiazhuang, and took them to see the farm that was about to be completed.With Li Tai as a rich man, Wang Ping'an certainly wouldn't let him go. He thought of the delicacies and snacks of later generations, and planned to let those women in Wangjiazhuang have a living business and increase their income.

"Brother Tai, Lizhi, the construction here has not yet been completed, so there is still a certain danger. You, as nobles of the emperor, cannot risk your life. Let's go back to the mansion. I will let you make snacks." For their safety, Wang Pingan also Consider it for your own safety.

"Okay, okay, teach me quickly, teach me quickly." Li Lizhi shouted happily.

"Lizhi, don't be impatient, didn't you say Ping An, you need to build a few tools before you can hand them over to us." Li Tai looked at Li Lizhi and said speechlessly.

"It doesn't matter, the mansion can make it with flour. This time, I'll let you taste gourmet snacks." Wang Pingan said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

At this time, Boss Du sent five people from the Sigong Mansion to Wang Ping'an and said, "Master Wang, these five are the best craftsmen in the Sigong Mansion, just order them."

"Alright, I will never forget Du Sigong's favor."

This is what Boss Du wanted. With Wang Ping'an's whimsical design style, as long as he can participate, he can definitely improve his skills.

Wang Pingan brought a group of people back to the Wang's mansion, and the servants saw their master came back, and ran to say hello to Wang Pingan with flattering faces.

"You go and call the cook, I have something to order. You go to the study to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the living room"

"Yes, sir."

Wang Pingan stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation and said, "Brother Tai, Lizhi, let's go into the living room and have a cup of tea."

"Okay." Li Tai nodded, and walked ahead.

Wang Pingan saw that Li Tai took a step ahead, and then said to the craftsman behind him, "Let's go into the living room and have a cup of tea together, everyone will have to work hard later."

"Young Master Wang, you're welcome. You gave us the opportunity to learn more, and I have to thank you." One of the craftsmen stood up and said, which seemed to be the head of the five people.

"You're welcome! You're welcome! May I have your surname?"

"The younger one's surname is Du. He's the younger brother of Boss Du. His name is Boss Du." The second Du said flatteringly.

"Du's second child? Second child? Your father can really pick a name."

Wang Pingan murmured in his heart, he was holding Du's second child a lot up and down, not to mention taking a closer look, he really looked a bit like Du's eldest, but he looked younger.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "Brother Du, are all your crafts handed down from family?"

"Exactly, my family has always relied on handicrafts to make a living. It was only after my brother did his work that our handicrafts had a place to play."

"What about your father?"

"Father?! My father was conscripted by Emperor Sui Yang to build the Luoyang Palace and never came back."

"I'm sorry, but I'm talking about Brother Du's sadness." Wang Pingan said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's been many years."

"Please come in, everyone, I will work hard for you later."

……

After Wang Ping led everyone into the living room, four servant girls came out to bring everyone a cup of tea.

"Brother Tai, Lizhi, please sit down first. We'll talk after I draw a few design drawings."

"It's okay, you should be busy." Li Lizhi said before Li Tai.

"Ping An, is there anything I can do for you?"

Li Tai is very interested in Wang Pingan's new design, and Export wants to help.

"Alright, after I finish the painting, I would like to ask Brother Tai to comment." Wang Ping'an will not refuse others' kindness at all.

Wang Pingan took out a homemade pencil and ruler, which he had prepared long ago, fixed it on the paper with the ruler, and then stroked it lightly with the pencil, and a straight line appeared on the paper.

Li Tai looked at the straight line drawn on the paper, his eyes lit up, and he thought, "It's such a straight line. If the tools in Ping An's hands are used by the Ministry of Industry, it can save a lot of time, manpower, material resources and financial resources." .”

It is not difficult to draw a straight line, but it is impossible for a person who cannot draw a straight line to draw a straight line in such a short period of time, no, it will be impossible for people in the future.

Li Tai just took a fancy to the benefits brought by the pen and ruler, shortening the time, greatly shortening the time.

Soon Wang Pingan drew up a design drawing, the most popular snack trolley in today's society.

After Li Tai picked up the blueprint of the trolley, he looked left and right and could only understand that it was a trolley. Thinking about it, in ancient times, from the emperor Laozi to the common people in the Ming Dynasty, they only knew to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and recite poems to write poems. They will be promising in the future, and it will be very difficult for them to learn other things, unless, like Boss Du, they pass on family skills or just to make a living.

Wang Pingan drew a few more models of carts, and then said: "Brother Tai, don't look at it yet, you can look at it after the real thing is made."

Li Tai smiled awkwardly: "Here you are."

Wang Pingan gave him a blank look, and after receiving the blueprint, he said to Du Er Er: "Brother Du, I will leave this blueprint to you, and help me build it according to the quantity on the blueprint, and finish it as soon as possible."

After Du Erer took the blueprint, he said directly: "No problem, Young Master Wang, then my colleagues and I will go down first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Du and everyone in the Sigong Mansion. Let's eat more at night."

"It's not hard, I have to thank Young Master Wang for giving me this opportunity."

"Brother Du is too polite, you go and do your work first, I will bring some delicious food to see you later."

"Thank you, Young Master Wang." After Du Erer finished speaking, he took everyone to build a snack cart.

Watching Du Laoer and the others go down, Wang Pingan smiled again and said to Li Tai and Li Lizhi: "Brother Tai, Lizhi, let's go to the kitchen, I will teach you a very simple pancake, full of fragrance and soft taste, It’s a must-have product for traveling and fighting.”

"Ping'an, bragging is too much, you know, sometimes you won't be able to eat hot food for a few days while marching and fighting, can your pancakes last for three to five days?" Li Tai said with a skeptical attitude.

Wang Pingan thought for a while and said, "Impossible..."

"That's all. Ping'an, you must know that when our army of Tang Dynasty was marching, we often had no time to eat in order to hurry, so we just ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns to deal with it. The steamed buns were cold and hard, and many soldiers bit them. If you don’t move, just drink the water, and then your stomach will swell, or you will have severe abdominal pain. It is often because you have exhausted a lot of combat power before the battle. If you can make the best military rations for marching and fighting, I will go to Zuofu The emperor will do it for you." Li Tai quickly explained.

"Wait, Brother Tai, why don't you let people finish talking? What I wanted to say just now is that it is impossible to only have three or five days. The cakes I made can last for a month even if it is July." Bad." Wang Pingan looked like why are you interrupting others.

"What? It's not bad for a month? Is it true?" Li Tai couldn't calm down anymore.

"It's true. You can try it out and put the cake in a cloth bag for a month to see if the cake has gone bad. Is there any peculiar smell?" Wang Pingan said carefully.

"Okay, then let's make cakes now."

"Walk."

Wang Pingan did not take them to the kitchen in the mansion, but took them to the simple kitchen in the front yard.

Now this simple kitchen is occupied by several chefs from the Governor's Mansion and the chefs from the Wang's Mansion, and it is full of ingredients that Lu Songjun sends every day.

At this time, several chefs were preparing dinner for Boss Du and the others. When they saw Wang Ping'an coming, they all put down their work and went to Wang Ping'an to say hello.

"Is there any rested dough here?"

"Yes, master."

A cook put a bucket of waked dough in front of Wang Ping'an.

Wang Pingan glanced at the dough and said, "Very well, you can help me later, and do the rest."

"Also, help me get the rolling pin first, and find a smooth stone to bake with fire."

"Yes, sir."

Wang Pingan pulled out the wake-up dough from the wooden barrel, kneaded it in two or three strokes, rolled it into a round shape, sprinkled with chopped green onion and a little lard, wrapped the chopped green onion and lard in the dough, and rolled it into a round shape .

For the first cake last night, Wang Pingan said to Li Tai and Li Lizhi: "Brother Tai, Lizhi, do you want to do it together? It's the so-called self-sufficiency."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it, I'll do it." Li Lizhi raised her hands in favor of doing it herself.

Li Tai also wanted to try, but his status as a prince for many years made him feel arrogance in his bones, and he was unwilling to do it himself. This was also related to the knowledge he had learned in the emperor's court.

"I don't need it, you know the handle."

Like Li Lizhi and Wang Pingan, knead the dough, then roll it into a circle, sprinkle with chopped green onion and a little lard, wrap the chopped green onion and lard in the dough, and roll it into a circle.

Within a few minutes, the two rolled out the noodles.

"Master, the slate is already hot." The cook ran over and said.

"Okay, learn a bit, and I will leave the pancakes to you in the future.

Wang Pingan went to the stone slab and smeared lard on it.

"Zizi..." a voice sounded.

Seeing the green smoke rising, Wang Ping'an spread the bread on top, and a stone slab was filled with ten sheets of cakes, and the fragrance overflowed for a while, and the surroundings were quiet.

Several chefs smelled the aroma and stopped their work.Looking back, there were already ten sheets of bread on the slate, and the aroma irritated their noses.

Li Tai smelled the strong scent, so he sniffed his nose and sucked his saliva, wishing he could take one now and chew on it.Not only him, but also Li Lizhi and Na Keguan.

"Ping An, it smells so delicious, can I eat it?"

Looking at the pancakes that have become golden brown, he said.Eat as much as you want. "

As soon as he heard that he could eat it, Li Tai put down his princely airs again, and took two scallion pancakes like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Wang Pingan looked at Li Tai who was holding scallion pancakes in both hands, shook his head and said, "Brother Tai is so impressed, holding the scallion pancakes in his hand, isn't it hot at all?"

"what!!!"

Li Tai made the sound of killing pigs.
