Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 139 Reception Building

After hearing this, several people lowered their heads and laughed.

Zheng Sisi asked again: "Do you know where there are the most lotus ponds?"

The third prince said: "Basically, every official above the third rank has a pond in their residence, and most of them are planted with lotus, which is a great sight to behold in the summer.

There is a lotus garden not far from the capital. A wealthy businessman bought some land and planted more than fifty acres of lotus for people to enjoy and appreciate.

Zheng Sisi asked with sparkling eyes: "Can we buy this place?"

The Third Prince: "It should be difficult to buy it. This rich businessman is not short of money."

Zheng Sisi: "Can we still cooperate even if we can't buy it?"

Zheng Zhiyuan: "Cousin, your restaurant doesn't need so many lotus roots, right? If the ones in your house are used up, there is still a pond in the Duke's House, and there are enough lotus roots."

Zheng Sisi: "I'm not cooking it. I have a recipe that can make lotus root into powder. It can be eaten by adults and children. It is nutritious and very convenient to carry when traveling. Just soak it in boiling water and you can eat it. It can also fill your stomach."

The third prince became more excited and asked, "Is it also possible to march and fight?"

Zheng Sisi nodded affirmatively: "Sure! I'll make some for you when I have time."

Several people nodded at the same time.

The third prince continued, "If that's the case, you can ask my father for cooperation. There are also more than ten acres of lotus ponds in the palace."

Zheng Sisi: “That’s fine too!”

They chatted for a while before getting up to go back.

Zheng Sisi prepared a large food box and gave it to Zheng Zhiyuan, saying, "Take it to your grandparents to taste."

Zheng Zhiyuan took it happily.

In the evening, when everyone had gone to bed, Zheng Sisi was still in the room holding a book.

This cement recipe had been sought for two days. At around ten o'clock in the evening, when Zheng Sisi was about to give up, she finally found it. Zheng Sisi jumped for joy. It was not easy at all.

He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that were always ready in the study and copied down the raw materials, methods and characteristics of cement production.

Put away the books, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, blow dry the ink on the written paper, and put them into the space.

Now all we have to do is find an opportunity to give it to the Third Prince, and leave the production to the court. This thing cannot be in the hands of one person, so it is better to sell it and give it to the Emperor.

I can sleep well tonight.

The next morning, when Zheng Sisi had finished exercising and was still eating breakfast, Nanny Li and Nanny Gui came to ask for instructions.

Nanny Gui plans to go to the restaurant to help out today, and she can just leave a few cooks at home to prepare meals for the guards and servants.

Zheng Sisi had no objection to their arrangements and told them to go ahead and do it with confidence.

After everything was arranged, Nanny Li and Nanny Gui went to the restaurant first, and Zheng Sisi went later.

I don’t know how business will be today, because it’s an old store that has just reopened and has not been renovated. Also, the store’s reputation was not good before, so everyone is worried.

But when they thought of the new dishes the girl taught them, Nanny Gui and the other maids regained their confidence.

As soon as they bought the ingredients in the morning, they started to get busy. They picked the food and washed the food. The front hall was closed for a few days, so they kept it very clean. Only Li Mama, the new shopkeeper, and a waiter stayed, and the others went to the kitchen to help.

When Zheng Sisi arrived, several aromas were already coming from the kitchen. It seemed that offal and lotus roots were being braised, and braised pork was being simmered.

Zheng Sisi looked up and saw it was still the old sign "Yingbinlou", which was a pretty good name.

Zheng Sisi said hello to Nanny Li and the shopkeeper and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was very lively, some people were washing lotus roots, some were cutting vegetables, and the meat was cut into two pots.

Zheng Sisi also saw spring bamboo shoots. She was very surprised and asked, "Why are there spring bamboo shoots?"

Nanny Gui said, "Miss, you came back from the farm that day and brought a lot of spring bamboo shoots. Everyone thought they were delicious, so Nanny Li arranged for people to go to the nearby village outside the city to look for bamboo shoots. Later, she asked the villagers there to dig them up and send 100 kilograms every day. We bought them at 1 cent for 2 kilograms."

Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Nanny Li is so business-minded."
