Chapter 465: Ideas
Of course, he would also raise questions that he didn't understand, and An Yue would answer them one by one.
Finished explaining the composting method.
Magistrate Qi bowed his head in thought for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Haha, good, good, very good, very good. After listening to the composting method explained by the young lady, it is really wonderful!"
"I will definitely arrange some personnel to vigorously promote this method. However, during the promotion process, I may need your help."
An Yue replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, sir. I will do my best."
It was already noon.
The sun outside was getting hotter and hotter, and customers came to the shop one after another.
A breeze blew by, and the freshly baked cake floated in the wind, with an enticing sweet fragrance.
Magistrate Qi stood up and said, "Thank you for your guidance and answers today, young lady. I still have official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
An Yue quickly reminded him, "Please stay, sir. If I remember correctly, you just said that you wanted to buy some cakes for your family, right?"
"Oh, yes, yes! I almost forgot about this." Magistrate Qi said, smiling and patting his forehead lightly.
"Please wait here for a moment, my lord. I will get it for you."
After saying that, An Yue turned and walked towards the window selling pastries.
She skillfully selected several kinds of pastries, packed them up and tied them up, then turned back to the table and handed them to County Magistrate Qi.
And he said respectfully: "Master Qi, this is the signature cake of our shop. I hope the lady and the young lady will like it."
Magistrate Qi took the cakes with both hands and thanked them: "Thank you, young lady. They are really regular customers of your shop. When they went out this morning, they specifically asked for your cakes."
"Really? It would be an honor. If the Madam and Miss want to eat it next time, just send someone to let us know, and I will personally deliver it to your house."
"Haha...Okay, okay." As he said that, he gestured to the follower beside him to give An Yue money.
The attendant took out some silver and handed it to An Yue, who quickly stepped back and declined, "Master Qi, I can't accept this money. You've been working so hard for the common people, so this cake is my reward for your hard work."
"Miss, you must accept the money. I am paid by the court to help you handle various affairs. This is my duty."
"It's not easy for a young girl to make a living. We have to deal with this matter separately."
An Yue was deeply moved when she heard what Magistrate Qi said.
"Everyone praises you as an honest official. You always consider things for all of us."
"Thanks for your compliments, young lady, please accept them. It's noon now, so I'll take my leave now."
Seeing this, An Yue had no choice but to smile and stretch out her hands to take the silver.
Magistrate Qi left the pastry shop with the cakes and his entourage following him.
An Yue stood there, looking at their backs as they walked away, and smiled with relief.
She said to herself, "Comparing this County Magistrate Qi with the former County Magistrate Shen Qianqiu, there is really a world of difference."
An Yue continued to go back to the kitchen and watched various pastries coming out of the pot one by one. There was no need for An Yue to make them anymore.
So she picked up the fan and sat on the stool to fan herself.
She took a sip of tea, and sweat kept seeping out of her body.
The weather was so hot that it made people irritable and the tea in front of them became hotter the more they drank.
An Yue pursed her lips, thinking that it would be nice if she could have a piece of ice cream and iced milk tea.
She murmured helplessly, "But in this dynasty, there is no electricity or refrigerators, not even watermelon. The only thing that can give you a cool feeling is mint."
She gently put the fan in her hand aside, rested her elbows on the table, closed her eyes and gently rubbed her temples.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, mint leaves?
She remembered that there was a plant that looked very similar to mint leaves, called fairy grass, also known as jelly grass.
The herb is magical and relatively simple to process. Once it is boiled, let it sit and cool, it will solidify into blocks.
Speaking of fairy grass, An Yue seemed to have seen it somewhere before. She scratched her head and recalled.
After a while, she finally remembered.
It was in the wasteland outside her own yard. She felt strange at the time as to why there were such large patches of mint.
But she didn't think too much about it at that time. Now that she thinks about it, the mint-like grass is most likely the fairy grass.
If it really is magic grass, that would be great.
To her shame, she has devoted herself to various business ventures in recent years.
Although I occasionally participate in farming the fields at home, the number of times I go to the fields is becoming less and less.
An Yue thought about the grass jelly pearl milk tea she had drunk in the 21st century.
The cool, tender, chewy and bouncy taste is so wonderful.
Now, just thinking about it, she couldn't help swallowing.
With this idea in mind, An Yue quickly opened the cloth bag slung over her shoulder and took out the small notebook and pen she used to take notes.
......
After writing them down one by one, he put the pen and notebook in the cloth bag.
She thought that she would take a closer look next time she returned to the village.
After the grass jelly is made into grass jelly, put two mint leaves on the grass jelly.
Then sprinkle a layer of red beans, red dates, and sesame seeds, and finally add two spoons of honey.
An Yue raised her hand to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth and said with an obsessed look on her face: "Wow! That taste is absolutely amazing."
Because the weather was too hot, the number of customers at the shop door gradually decreased after a while.
At this time, Chunzhi and the helper fried two dishes in the kitchen. She put some of the dishes on a plate for the helper and brought the rest to the table.
An Yue carried a small basket in one hand and weighed a few copper coins in the other, and walked towards the steamed bun shop diagonally opposite her shop.
She bought a few ready-made white flour steamed buns and prepared to take them back to the shop to prepare lunch.
The helper was eating at the shop window, while An Yue and Chun Zhi were eating at a table nearby.
Chunzhi swallowed the food while asking, "Miss, was that person really the county magistrate?"
An Yue nodded and said, "He came to me today to ask me how to make compost, and he also wants to promote it throughout Yongchuan County."
Chunzhi stopped eating and asked curiously, "Did the county magistrate promise any benefits to Miss?"
An Yue looked at Chunzhi in disbelief, and said jokingly with a smile: "Silly Chunzhi, you have been doing business with me for the past few years, and the way you speak and act has become a bit like those businessmen."
Chunzhi nodded slightly and whispered, "Miss, are you praising me or blaming me?"
"You! Think about it carefully. This is the first time I have dealt with our new county magistrate. If I ask him for a favor, will we continue to do business in the county?"
