After thinking about it for a long time with emotion, she asked Xiaocui to bring a veil for herself, and asked Qiuyue to call the two little guys who were guarding the door, and the two of them gave Xiao Yao a courtesy, Xiao Yao felt that people were still smart, so she asked a little guy named Cao Zhong to take the hot pot she painted, and according to her requirements, go to the best coppersmith and blacksmith in the capital, let them make a hot pot as they were, let them make an appointment, and give the money when they pick up the goods.
The little guy took the order and left.
Xiao Yao's task for another servant, Li Gui, was to let him go to the major restaurants in the capital to see the menus and dishes.
Let's see if there is anything similar to hot pot, and by the way, let's see what the most popular dish is right now.
After Li Gui left, Xiao Yao practiced calligraphy for a while, read the book for a while, Qiu Ju and Xia He were doing needlework next to her to accompany her, Xiao Cui's hands were basically good, and she also wanted to do some work, Xiao Yao didn't allow it, she could only watch the two of them do it on the side.
Qiuyue is sleeping in the next room because she was on the night shift last night.
After lunch, Xiao Yao went to bed and took a nap.
When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the two little guys were already waiting outside to reply 。
Xiao Yao asked Xiao Cui to quickly pass the two of them in.
The two lowered their heads and saluted, not daring to glance at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao opened his mouth and asked, "What I asked you to do, how did you do it?"
“ Li Gui spoke first: "Back to Miss, I looked at the three largest restaurants in the capital, two medium restaurants, and four small restaurants, but I didn't see the food called hot pot that Miss said.
The most popular meal now is the hot pot and mutton noodles. ” Xiao Yao was overjoyed, smiled and said to him, "Okay!
I see, thank you. ” Then Cao Zhong said to Xiao Yao: "Miss, I have already told the two best coppersmiths and blacksmiths in the capital, they said that this thing is the first time to make it, the time will be longer, and the price will be higher. ” Xiao Yao chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "How much does it cost?"
For how long?
” Cao Zhong felt that he had not done a good job, so he stubbornly said: "I paid them a price for half a day, and the coppersmith said that it would cost twenty days and two taels of silver."
The blacksmith said it would take fifteen days and a tael of silver. ” Xiao Yao's heart was put down, she thought that her twenty taels were going to be spent, looking at his appearance, this was already the highest, but fortunately it was only three taels.
Ancient silver is quite valuable" (This is because she doesn't know the ancient monetary system, one tael of silver in ancient times is equivalent to three hundred to five hundred yuan now, and it cost her at least three hundred to six hundred yuan to buy a hot pot, and soon she will know that she has suffered a loss.)
In addition, let's explain the exchange ratio of silver and copper coins here: one tael of silver = consistent money = ten coins of silver = 1,000 copper coins.
Ten taels of silver = one tael of gold. ） She suddenly turned her worries into joy, and said to Cao Zhong with a smile: "You have worked hard, and things are done very well!"
Tomorrow you go again and tell them, "Shall I give them half a tael of silver each, and let them do it five days in advance?"
” Cao Zhong thought that the young lady would blame him for talking too high about the price, but he didn't expect to praise him for doing a good job, so he quickly agreed gratefully: "Okay!"
The minions will go early tomorrow morning. ” Xiao Yao happily rewarded each of them with twenty copper coins, and asked them to come back to see her tomorrow morning, and she had to send them work. , the two happily saluted and left.
Xiao Yao is also very happy, it seems that there is still a chance for hot pot.
She began to think about what ingredients were suitable for hot pot here, and the vegetables of the Great Wu Dynasty were pitifully rare.
In the past two days, she asked Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Li in the kitchen, here this season, there are only white radish, woong (cabbage), winter melon, pumpkin, cloud sprout, and coriander (coriander).
The others are meat.
In addition to pumpkin, these dishes will also be used.
Dishes are less, you can use more meat, and soy products.
Xiao Yao pondered in her heart.
I also took out a hardcover notebook and wrote on it for a long time.
After dinner, Xiao Cui opened the five large wooden boxes she brought, found a book on edible mushroom cultivation techniques, thought about it, and took out a bag of potato chips, chocolates and biscuits that she had been reluctant to eat.
Looking at these strange things, only Xiao Cui is used to seeing them.
Qiu Yue's face was full of surprise, even Qiu Ju and Xia He, the two people who were easy and quiet, also showed expressions of curiosity and surprise, Xiao Yao smiled and said to everyone lightly: "This is some food from my hometown, you don't have it here, take it out today for everyone to taste." ” I'm afraid that they won't open the mouth of the plastic bag, and I'm afraid that the bag will be broken, when I come here, the garbage in my previous life, the empty plastic bag, has also become a treasure in Xiao Yao's eyes, and I always feel that I don't know when I will use it.
She asked Qiuyue to bring scissors, cut open a bag of original potato chips, and divided it among the four of them, she didn't dare to give them spicy food, for fear that they wouldn't be used to it, she learned that they don't have chili peppers here in this era.
(At the same time, I was excited to think: The high-quality pepper seeds I brought can make a big difference, and I will be the first planter of peppers in this dynasty!)
） When the four of them ate it, they all looked happy and said to Xiao Yao that it was delicious.
Xiao Yao peeled off a large piece of Dove chocolate and broke a piece for each of the four of them, this time only Qiu Yue and Xia He said it was delicious, Xiao Cui and Qiu Ju felt that the taste was a little strange and was not very interested.
Xiao Yao told them that this was a very expensive sugar, and she liked to eat it the most when she was in her hometown.
It's a pity that I brought too little.
Later, he opened the biscuit package and let them eat it, and began to look at the black Oreo biscuits, the four of them thought it was still chocolate, and Qiu Ju and Xiaocui said they wouldn't taste it.
Qiu Yue and Xia He took it and ate it, and after taking a bite, they said to the two of them: "It's not the same, this one is very dry, very crispy, and there is a white sweet thing in the middle."
Qiu Ju and Xiao Cui each took a piece and ate it.
After eating, Xiaocui said to Xiao Yao: "Miss, I think this is like a steamed bun that has been burnt, and the noodles are made from grinding, but it is not so bitter."
"One sentence made everyone happy.

That night, Xiao Yao read the book and saw the middle of the night, and found that mushroom cultivation was a troublesome and huge project, and the investment of manpower and material resources was too large, and it could not be carried out under the existing conditions, so he could only put the book away.
The next day, after Xiao Yao finished exercising and eating breakfast, he asked Xiaocui to pass Cao Zhong and Li Gui.
Let Li Gui go to a shop in the capital that sells porcelain or pottery, and buy three porcelain jars with lids that can hold a bowl of water in different shapes. and shall not speak nonsense to the people of the house.
Li Gui respectfully accepted the money and left.
Xiao Yao assigned Cao Zhong another task, asking him to take the silver and go to the largest spice shop in the capital to buy a sample of each spice back, including sauces, and ask the boss to mark the name of each spice.
Cao Zhong took the money and left.
The four big girls looked at Xiao Yao with a puzzled expression, not knowing what she was going to do?
