"Uncle Qin, stay!"
In the Qin house, Merton bowed to Mrs. Qin.
He came to Qin's residence to pay New Year's greetings in person. However, Qin Qiong had already visited friends and was not at home. In addition, Merton was a younger generation and was received by Mrs. Qin in person. It was not rude.
Mrs. Qin nodded and turned her head: "Huaiyu, go and send Merton."
"Yes! Mother!"
Qin Huaiyu can't wait to rush out and accompany Merton out of the Qin house.
"The foot ban is over! You've been wronged these days." Merton said gratefully.
Qin Huaiyu waved his hand and said indifferently, "it's over long ago. It's just an act. How can my father punish me severely? Just those people in Luoyang, I've been unhappy with them for a long time. This time, I just took the opportunity to teach them a lesson."
Merton was slightly moved and said, "anyway, it's because of the Mohist village. I'll write it down."
Qin Huaiyu pretended to be angry and said, "what's this? I'm a member of the food city. This time, the Mojia village produced out of season vegetables, and the food city must be very popular. Coupled with the best-selling of relieving thousands of worries, the Qin government still made money. If those people in Luoyang succeed, how can the Qin government have these benefits?"
This time, Merton came to Qin's house to pay a new year's call. The gift he brought was off-season vegetables, which were free of charge, and was better than novelty. Mrs. Qin was immediately very satisfied. In addition, the release of crystal jieqianchou made jieqianchou stand firmly as the best wine in the world. The 5000 yuan deposit of Qin's house can be said to have done the most cost-effective business, I couldn't help being extremely satisfied with Merton.
Although Qin Huaiyu said so, Merton understood that the three Qin families directly joined to solve Qianchou, which seemed to be an ordinary transaction, but it was of great practical significance. After all, the three national governments stood on Merton's side, which made some people's Secret actions converge a lot, which made Merton calm.
"Well, you're welcome, but I still have a gift for brother Qin. I hope brother Qin won't refuse." just as they were talking, they unconsciously walked outside the Qin house.
Merton reached out and a brand-new second-generation four-wheel carriage stopped in front of Qin Huaiyu.
"This is..." Qin Huaiyu looked at the extremely windy carriage and the bright glass window, which made people see its purpose at a glance. He couldn't help but look happy.
"This is a new generation of carriage that hasn't been sold in Mojia village. It's the only one on Chang'an City street!" Murton whispered. Naturally, the four-wheel carriage given to Li Shimin won't appear on Chang'an City street. Qin Huaiyu's carriage is the only one.
"Well, you're still a friend!" Qin Huaiyu said with a look of ecstasy.
Looking at the transparent glass and exquisite interior decoration, such a windy carriage walking on Zhuque Street must envy many dandies.
Among the dandies, although they are mainly riding horses, they are pure second-class goods in winter. Especially when the warm and comfortable four-wheel carriage with exquisite appearance comes out, the riding atmosphere in Chang'an city suddenly breaks. I'm afraid that before the spring is warm and peaceful, the valiant Knights will not appear in the streets of Chang'an city.
Merton couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, cars and horses are men's favorite. They are flaunted and stimulated by Qin Huaiyu and others. I believe that once the four-wheel carriage is listed, it will sell very well. Even if other cars and horses are deliberately imitated, they don't have glass in hand and can only stare.
After leaving the Qin house, Merton sat in a carriage and meditated. There was another reason for him to come to the Qin house this time. That is, in the face of it, Mrs. Qin was the matchmaker between Merton and Princess Changle. Although Mrs. Qin urged directly, she also revealed a news that Princess Changle was about to turn 16.
That means that Princess Changle is about to reach the age of 16. The bride price promised by him should be realized as soon as possible. He and Princess Changle still have this last obstacle.
Thinking of this, Merton couldn't help showing a sweet smile, and the day was finally coming.
"But now the most important thing is Changle's birthday." Merton secretly said that before the Tang Dynasty, from the emperor to the people, it was no birthday, and he wanted to celebrate the first birthday of Changle princess in the history of China.
The most important thing of birthday is the sense of ceremony. In the sense of ceremony, I'm afraid the birthday cake is an essential link.
"Fortunately, the materials are complete, otherwise it's really blind!" Merton congratulated himself.
Before that, cake and cream have been made, and the next thing is easy to do! Merton's eyes turned and suddenly thought of a good candidate.
Zhou Yuchu from the ice cream shop.
"Birthday cake!"
On the second day of the new year, chef Zhou looked at Merton blankly. He also knew that he could make cream, but he was confused about the birthday cake.
"I've been a cook all my life and have never made this dish." Zhou Yuchu was at a loss.
He has been an imperial cook all his life, but he is also a clever woman. It is difficult to cook without rice. Naturally, he can't make such a birthday cake out of nothing.
Merton shook his head and said, "you just need to follow the gourd and draw a gourd! Now you only need to be proficient in this birthday cake in a short time!"
Merton finished, reached out and handed Zhou Yuchu a drawing, which vividly painted the appearance and production process of a future birthday cake.
"Hoo!" Chef Zhou Yu looked at the drawing of the birthday cake handed over by Merton and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be too simple.
"Don't worry, marquis Mo, you can't miss it!" Zhou Yuchu patted his chest and promised.
"Do it carefully! This will be another trump card of the ice cream store in the future. Who doesn't pay attention to their birthday? Even if one of the thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty has a birthday, what a huge market it will be," Merton said.
Zhou Yuchu's eyes lit up immediately. For example, although the ice cream shop is the only one and makes a lot of money, after all, ice cream is the peak season only in summer, and it is not so popular in other seasons. He has long wanted to find another pillar for the ice cream shop. As soon as the birthday cake comes out, I'm afraid the ice cream shop will be full of customers.
"Mohou Yingming!" said chef Zhou with sincere admiration,
Everyone has a birthday, and it happens once a year. In this era, everyone attaches great importance to his birthday eight characters, but Merton adds a special meaning to this birthday eight characters. Adults may not value it, but children themselves love sweets. In addition, who doesn't love their children, The birthday cake combines the love of adults and the love of children, which is simply the finishing touch.
Merton immediately showed a knowing smile. He couldn't help thinking of the scene of a group of students gathering for their birthday when he was a student. Naturally, children have to live with their families, but when they grow up, they have to live with their partners.
However, if you want to make an appointment for Changle's birthday, you naturally need an insider.
Watching chef Zhou leave happily, Merton thought a little, immediately wrote a letter and ordered tie an to say, "hand over this letter to the East Palace and ask the crown prince for help!"
"Yes!" tie took orders to leave when he settled down.
Merton carefully recalled the birthday scenes of later generations. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he nodded. The next thing he had to do was to choose the best place for Changle's birthday. I'm afraid there is no more suitable place than an ice cream shop.
