Xiao Yao didn't explain to them, but only said to Xia He, "Is there a bigger empty house in our yard?"
” Xia He replied: "Yes, there are still two vacant rooms in the courtyard, do you want to use them?"
” Xiao Yao said: "You take me to take a look, I may need it soon." ” Xiao Cui also went to take a look, the house had been uninhabited for a long time, and there was dust and cobwebs everywhere.
However, the doors and windows are still in good condition.
Xiao Yao was very satisfied with it, and asked Xia He to send two rough maids to clean up a house.
After speaking, she went to the kitchen to find Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Li.
Xia He immediately called the two little maids and asked them to clean up.
Xiao Yao came back from the kitchen and said to Qiu Ju: "It's starting to get cold, what other way do we have here besides using a charcoal basin to keep warm?"
” "Miss Hui, we have always used charcoal basins to keep warm in our house, and our palace uses the best silver charcoal, don't you feel warm?
Then put a charcoal pot in your house, right?
Qiu Ju is half asking and half explaining.
"No need, I just want to use the heating things I brought from my hometown, the charcoal basin and I are a little unaccustomed to it, you can use it, and I am a little homesick in the past two days, I can't sleep at night, you don't have to accompany me, I want to be alone."
You go to bed early every night, so you don't have to change the night.
Just let Xiaocui accompany me to my home at night.
Xiao Yao whispered with a nostalgic and tangled look.
"That...
Okay, Miss, you have to open some, and when you are all well and the prince is busy for a while, I can send you back to your hometown to see your parents.
Qiu Ju kindly persuaded her.
Xiao Yao nodded gratefully, thinking sourly in her heart, where can I go back?
Xiao Yao called Xiao Cui, asked her to open the big wooden box, took out the Beijing furnace and chimney, and instructed them to set up the stove, the chimney stretched out from the window, the ancient window had no glass, only paper paste, no need to drill holes, just the part of the chimney next to the window edge was wrapped twice with a cloth, at the chimney interface, Xiao Yao let the rough maid get mud, she personally looked at the fine paste, and then she was relieved to have a stove, what to burn?
Charcoal, of course, where does the coal come from?
This strange heating thing made the maids in the yard curious, especially after being born, the house quickly warmed up, and there was no smell of charcoal, even Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Li in the kitchen came to take a look, and their mouths kept boasting, Xiao Yao was afraid that they were rumored everywhere, so she had to ask Qiu Ju to tell everyone not to tell outsiders, she was really afraid of being seen as a monster.
In fact, if you don't know that the ancient craftsmanship can't make a thin iron chimney, and there is no coal.
She really wanted to make money selling stoves.
Had lunch and took an hour's nap.
The two little guys came back to their lives, and Cao Zhong came back with a lot of small paper bags, and a can of tempeh and a can of bean paste.
Each bag has a word written on it.
He told Xiao Yao that he had negotiated with the two craftsmen, and the two agreed to do it five days in advance.
And I returned the money that was left over from the seasoning.
Xiao Yao praised it and gave the reward.
Li Gui also lived up to his mission and took back three ceramic jars that were round, square, and rectangular.
Xiao Yao asked the price, ten copper coins each, it was not expensive, so he gave the reward money and let him go down to rest.
In the evening, Xiaocui was on duty, and as soon as Qiu Ju and the others left, Xiao Yao called Xiaocui to the bed and whispered to her: "Xiaocui, do you want to leave the palace, buy a house, and buy land to live your own life?"
” Xiao Cui obviously didn't think about this, but replied: "Miss, what you think is what I think, I will follow you wherever you go, anyway, I won't leave you" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and said to her: "The palace is someone else's home, not our home, we have to leave sooner or later, we can't live anywhere without money, so we have to earn money as soon as possible, only when we earn enough money can we settle down in our own home, don't you say?"
” "Yes!
Miss, you're right!
I understand, but how do we make money?
Xiao Cui's eyes widened and asked Xiao Yao Xiao Yao was very happy when she heard this, knowing that Xiao Cui understood.
So 1510 told her about his plan to make hot pot and sell it for money.
Xiao Cui has always had infinite trust in Xiao Yao, and when she heard Xiao Yao say that there was a way to make money, she had no doubts, but said to Xiao Yao: "Miss, what do you think I can do?"
You say I'll do it!
” Xiao Yao said solemnly: "To make hot pot, you don't need to exert too much effort, you must make a delicious hot pot base that others can't imitate."
In this way, you can make money by selling the base material.
Starting tomorrow, I'm going to do experiments, and you can be my helper and cover for me.
You can do whatever I ask you to do, don't ask, before I succeed, I don't want people to know, let's do it secretly in the house at night, you sleep with me every day for the past few days, I have told the three of them not to let them stay on duty at night.

It's our secret.
Can't tell anyone.
Do you understand?
” "Miss, I see.
I won't say anything to anyone, so don't worry!
Xiao Cui said seriously The next day, Xiao Yao sent Cao Zhong and Li Gui to go to spice shops and pharmacies to buy things according to the list she wrote.
(That's what she found out from the big pile of spices with names written on them, the same thing, the ancient and modern names are too different, just take the tempeh that we Shaanxi people love to eat, it was called "Youshu" and "addiction" in ancient times.)
If she is not allowed to buy all the seasonings and label them with her name, how can she find the seasoning she wants?
Know its name here?
What about juxtaposing the list to buy it back?
Xiao Yao was secretly proud of her cleverness!
） Xiao Yao had eaten hot pot countless times in her previous life, and she made it herself at home with her mother, but at that time, she either ate ready-made at a hot pot restaurant, or bought a base, and added some stock, green onions, ginger slices and garlic at home, which was considered ready.
It's the first time I've really made my own base.
However, in response to that sentence, a long illness becomes a doctor, and a long time eats into a cook.
She is still full of confidence in making the base material herself, but how to make it so that people can't see what seasoning there is, and the most important thing is that she can't imitate it as ordered.
In the evening, after sending Qiu Ju and them away early, Xiao Yao asked Xiaocui to close the door and lock it, and lightly took out the iron pot and shovel that her mother brought her from the wooden box she brought, and let Xiaocui wash it with water.
For the evening trial, the two made full preparations.
Xiao Yao specially asked Cao Zhong and Li Gui to buy the cheapest big wooden box in the afternoon and put it in the house.
(The twenty taels of silver in her hand, even buying things with rewards, have spent a lot, and have to be saved) Xiaocui divided several trips, and quietly went to the kitchen to get the things that Xiao Yao asked Aunt Gu to buy for her yesterday morning: a large piece of cooked butter, a can of soybean oil, old chicken that had been boiled for a day, duck soup, salt, and peeled, washed, and chopped green onions, ginger, garlic and sugar.
(Blue smoke explained: There is no vegetable oil in this era, Yunzhu is mainly eaten as a vegetable, and the rich and noble people eat the best sesame oil, that is, today's sesame oil, and the average person eats soybean oil, that is, perilla oil, red and blue flower oil or hemp seed oil.)
Wang Fu naturally eats sesame oil, and Xiao Yao chose soybean oil in order to reduce the cost of the product. ） The two of them quietly hid these things in the wooden box they had just bought.
Including all kinds of things that the two little guys bought back.
Xiaocui also brought a bucket of water and asked the little maid to take a large pot of charcoal and put it next to the stove.
Everything was ready, and Xiao Yao's secret experiment began.
For three consecutive nights, Xiao Yao's Qixia Courtyard wafted out an attractive fragrance, Cao Zhong and Li Gui stood at the gate of the courtyard every night, inhaling vigorously, and quietly discussing: What is this Miss Xiao doing delicious?
