Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 300 Ovens and Kilns

In the past few days, Ji Yunshu and Yu Feique were planning to give a marriage.

Qiao Lianlian was worrying about the oven.

Ordinarily, the principle of making an oven is not difficult, just like she first used a steamer to roast crispy shiitake mushrooms and other dry goods, and then polished them into powder, and made fresh powder, which is a bit like an oven.

But a large piece of pastry is different from a small piece of well-done dry food.

It takes several hours to dry the dried shiitake mushrooms. It is estimated that a piece of flower cake will take two days and two nights to ripen.

That is too time consuming.

Qiao Lian had no choice but to make some pastries without an oven for the children to eat.

For example, steamed cakes, such as milk squares, or black sesame cakes, egg rolls, and donkey rolls.

But almost everything she has seen has been copied.

Several children in the family are very fond of these pastries, and the preference is very obvious.

For example, Yu Feicheng likes egg rolls, which are crispy and crunchy. He doesn't like snacks very much, and he can eat three or five at a time.

Yu Feique likes soft foods like Milk Xiaofang and Donkey Roll, and even borrowed flowers to present Buddha as a gift to the old emperor.

Gu Zhong likes steamed cakes and black sesame cakes, and this kid likes the taste of eggs.

As for Xiaogeer.

She continued her elder brother Gu Lou's habit of not rejecting anyone who came, and eating whatever he offered.

The only pity is that I am young and have a small stomach capacity. I usually feel full after eating a few pieces.

But the little girl didn't take it seriously, she ate when she was hungry, and tried her best to run towards the figure of her brother Gu Lou.

Qiao Lianlian looked at it with joy in her heart, and the sales of several pastries at Sixilou were also very good, and she was greatly relieved.

But the matter of the oven was always on his mind, and he didn't even notice when Ji Yunshu came back.

"Lian Lian." Ji Yunshu had a bit of a taste, "What are you thinking, I don't even care about it."

Only then did Qiao Lian come back to his senses, "Huh? I'm thinking about pastries."

"The kids love these pastries." Ji Yunshu hung the overcoat at the door, and sat opposite Qiao Lianlian, "Lianlian, didn't you teach Chunhua how to do it, don't make it yourself in the future, it's too hard."

He will feel bad.

Qiao smiled again and again, "It's just making some pastries, and the children don't eat much, so I can still do it."

But this man is so sweet-talking, she still gave her some face, "Don't worry, I will ask Chunhua to take the little maids to do it in the future, and she will be very good at following her."

Only then did Ji Yunshu smile warmly.

"Why did it take so long today?" Qiao Lianlian looked at his smile with a gentle look in his eyes, "I came back in the middle of the afternoon, but there are orders from the palace? Que'er and Ge'er didn't come here today, I wonder They're gone."

Although the children have been with her all the time, they are not around after all. In the past, the children came every day, and Qiao Lian felt no sense of gap.

The two girls didn't come today, only the two boys came over to have a meal and then left.

The sense of gap in Qiao Lianlian's heart inevitably rose.

"Both of them." Ji Yunshu twitched his eyes and said calmly, "Maybe they have something to do in the palace."

What should he say, the eldest daughter is acting as the old man, matching the two of them?

Well, there is no surprise when I say it.

Can't say anything.

"Que Erge'er grows up, and she may not need a mother in the future." Qiao Lianlian was extremely sad, with her chin resting on one hand, and there was a sparkle in her eyes.

Ji Yunshu's heart throbbed suddenly.

He didn't want to see this woman's tears.

"Lianlian." The man said with a difficult tone, "No, they won't leave you."

He could see the children's love for their stepmother, and it was unavoidable for him to feel bad occasionally, but he also knew that the children couldn't do without Qiao Lianlian.

It was a kind of emotional dependence, a wholehearted entrustment, and a feeling that surpassed ordinary family affection.

"I know not." Qiao repeatedly wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's just unavoidable to think wildly."

This feeling is like a boyfriend in a long-distance relationship. He knows he is busy, but he can't help but wonder if he is chatting with others.

Maybe family affection is not as exclusive as love, but in a sense, this sense of loss is common.

"You, don't think about these things." Ji Yunshu couldn't help it, and almost revealed his plan with the eldest daughter.

He could only find a way to change the subject, "The pastries you made are very popular among the children."

"It's a pity." Qiao Lianlian was indeed attracted, "I can only make these pastries, flower cakes and so on, and the children will not like to eat them."

"Why?" Ji Yunshu was a little surprised.

Qiao Lian briefly explained the reason, and then said with emotion, "It would be great if it could be baked."

Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment without speaking.

Qiao Lianlian didn't expect him to give any constructive advice, so he got up and tidied up, planning to study how to make an oven.

At this moment, the man said slowly, "I don't know what oven you are talking about, but I have seen others make a kiln, it is a small semi-circular house, put things in it, and burn a fire underneath , you can bake porcelain.”

He raised his hand and gestured.

Very big.

Qiao Lianlian thought of the baking kilns of later generations for a moment, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Perhaps, instead of an oven, she could build an earthen kiln.

Moreover, the things smoked and roasted should have a special flavor.

Just do it, Qiao Lian repeatedly asked Ji Yunshu for some materials, and started tinkering with it the next day.

In her memory, the baking kiln has three floors, the first floor is the foundation, the second floor is the insulation facility, and the third floor is the cave dwelling.

The foundation was to be built in a pit, so Qiao Lian repeatedly asked Jiang Chun to dig a pit the size of half a person, spread a layer of gravel underneath, and piled a circle of stones around it.

Because there is no cement, it can only be dry-built, using stones for pure construction, without adding any cement slurry in the middle, and relying on the gaps between stones to bite each other.

The middle is paved with fine stones, and it is raised to the position of the legs.

The next step is to build the kiln body. Without cement, we can only use mud, and dry grass blades are mixed in the middle to strengthen the bones and bones to form the kiln body.

The next step is the insulation layer, which is critical here, requiring a large amount of perlite or plant ash to isolate the interior from the exterior.

The insulation is good, and the kiln can be used as a microwave oven.

Naturally, the production difficulty is several levels higher.

It was very difficult for Qiao Lianlian to do it, and he failed several times. It was Ji Yunshu who found a master who had fired kilns, and managed to do it well.

Finally, there is the cave dwelling. Because the temperature is extremely high, it needs to be made of high-temperature-resistant materials. Fortunately, there is Ji Yunshu, who was quickly found.

The master craftsman who had fired the kiln helped Qiao Lian build the cave dwelling, plastered the kiln surface evenly, and plugged in the chimney that had been prepared long ago.

A fire kiln is so gorgeously released.

Qiao Lianlian was so excited that he wanted to burn the kiln right away, but the master chef said that the kiln should be dried for a few days before opening the kiln, otherwise it may collapse.

In order not to let the efforts of the past few days go to waste, Qiao Lianlian could only forcibly suppress his excitement and wait patiently.

Can this kiln version of the oven be successful?
