After a long time, Cao Yi finally calmed down. He couldn't help but reflect on how irritable and irritable he was today. Why did he just follow the rhythm of Shen Yan's playboy?

Shen Yan, who has neither a city nor any knowledge, is just a dull-headed young man with an expression of joy and anger. It seems that he has been busy with training this month and has not read a book properly. All the time spent on self-cultivation has been consumed by training. , it seems that I still can’t break the habit of reading and writing in the future.

After nearly an hour, Hong Xiu had just arranged all the work at hand. This could only be done so quickly with the help of the other seven maids of Qingyun Pavilion. It can be seen that the big and small things in Zuixian Tower are usually complicated and trivial. But Hongxiu never complained to Cao Yi.

Originally, Hongxiu's idea was that she just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life with the young master, and never thought that she would have to make a career. In this era, people like Cai Wenji, Hong Funu, and Shangguan Wan'er After all, there are only a very small number of female legends. Most women hide in their boudoir and stay at home to support their husbands and raise children after marrying others. Although the saying "It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent" has not yet spread in this era. Come, but society still prefers a woman not to be too public. So for Hongxiu, she has a mentality of not asking others to know about Cao Yi. As long as she pays silently, she will be satisfied if she can help Cao Yi later. , it is not an exaggeration to say that great love is silent.

"Young master, you just said that you wanted to talk to me about some of your thoughts about Zuixian Tower. I have done my job now, please tell me." Hong Xiu came in all directions, but as soon as he entered the private room, he directly asked about the business, without any hesitation. He didn't say he planned to rest, which made Cao Yi feel distressed for a while. He asked Hongxiu to sit down and fed him a few fruits with his own hands. He stopped when Hongxiu was already blushing and was about to run away with shame.

Cao Yi has always had a very special feeling for Hongxiu in his heart. When he first traveled to the Yan Dynasty, Hongxiu had always taken care of his food, clothing and daily life. Even when he was called the stupid son of the Cao family, When being teased by countless people, it was Hongxiu who held up her weak body and stepped forward to argue with others while trembling. At that time, Cao Yi, because he had just come to this world, kept silent and just watched coldly from behind. I saw that Hongxiu was doing her best to refute those who mocked Cao Yi with vicious words, even if sometimes she would only fight repeatedly because she couldn't speak to others: "Young master is not a fool, you are not allowed to say that."

Several times, I was so angry that I hid from Cao Yi and cried silently because I couldn't speak to others. But I turned around and pretended that I hadn't cried. I carefully made Cao Yi happy and said to Cao Yi, "Those people are all playboys and they always say things on purpose." "If you speak ill of people, don't take it seriously." Even though Cao Yi would never react or express approval to her at that time, Hong Xiu still did the same thing as before and would not mention herself in front of Mrs. Gao. He did something for the young master outside, and the devoted Mr. Wei did everything well, but never asked for credit.

Therefore, Cao Yi always kept Hongxiu's kindness and kindness to Cao Yi in mind, so on the first day he opened his mouth to talk, he asked for Hongxiu's contract and tore it up directly.

"Sir, please tell me, otherwise I will really leave." Hongxiu still couldn't accept the too intimate behavior, not because she resisted Cao Yi in her heart, but simply because she was too shy and was afraid of being bumped into by others.

"Well, Hongxiu, I think after a month of development in Zuixian Tower, we need to introduce something new to stimulate our customers." Cao Yi stopped teasing Hongxiu and discussed with Hongxiu seriously.

"To stimulate customers?" Hongxiu was a little confused for a moment, but the young master often said something that no one else understood, so Hongxiu was not too surprised. She just repeated it to show that she didn't understand what it meant.

"Yes, it is to make customers feel novel, interesting or good. Every once in a while, we use something new to attract customers' attention, so that they can often pay attention to the latest developments of our Zuixianlou." Cao Yixuan.

Xu explained slowly, his tone full of the calmness and confidence of a strategist.

"Hongxiu understands what the young master said, so what novelty should we use in Zuixianlou to stimulate our customers?" Hongxiu tilted her head and asked playfully.

"Preserved egg!" Cao Yi said excitedly.

"Preserved eggs? What kind of eggs are those from?" Hongxiu continued to ask, her face looking slightly coquettish due to doubts.

"Haha, those are not eggs laid by other poultry. In fact, the raw material is duck eggs. They are just a kind of food that has been remade and processed. Hong Xiu, let's go to the courtyard of the dining room first, find an unoccupied room, and test this

You already know how to make preserved eggs. If it goes well, I estimate that if I make it today, the results will be available in about half a month."

Then Cao Yi asked Hong Xiu to lead him to find an unoccupied room in the courtyard of the dining room on the first floor. He also sent someone to deliver a hundred raw duck eggs, some tea leaves, a large amount of plant ash, quicklime and rice husks, and of course a small amount of

Salt.

Then, under the angry gaze of Hongxiu, he began to make the preserved eggs he just mentioned. First, put the powdered tea leaves into a basin, then pour in boiling water and stir. After stirring evenly, crush the lime into powder and pour it in.

Put the sifted plant ash and salt into a basin and stir until everything is mixed together to form a thick mud.

After all this was done, Hongxiu was asked to help seal a hundred raw duck eggs with the mud paste they just made, apply a thick layer of mud, then roll a layer of rice husk on the outside, and then code the mud eggs.

In a large empty jar, seal the mouth of the jar with soil and move it to a cool corner.

"Master, is this all right?" Hongxiu asked Cao Yi with her big eyes flashing.

"No, it still needs to be placed in a cool place for about half a month before it is good." Cao Yi washed and wiped his hands under Hong Xiu's service, and said with a smile.

"Uh... Young Master, isn't this the salted duck egg from Chengzhou? Although it tastes good, many people in Jiangning City must have eaten it. It's really nothing new..." Hong Xiu asked doubtfully.

.

"Haha, it's actually quite different. What we make are not salted duck eggs, but preserved eggs. You can also call them emerald eggs, agate eggs, amber eggs or rich eggs. It doesn't matter how noble you are. The more noble it is, the more gimmick it is.

The bigger they will be. If nothing unexpected happens in half a month, the preserved eggs will look very good by then, ranging from green to emerald to brown to amber, and there are

The texture of pine flowers is very beautiful and elegant, so they are called pine flower eggs. Officials, wealthy businessmen and scholars like this kind of thing the most. At that time, we will set the price higher and package it with a nice and elegant name. In addition, we will set the price higher and package it with a nice and elegant name.

Give some to famous celebrities like Mr. Lu, Kuang Gong, and Magistrate Yang, and let them promote it when entertaining guests, and the sales volume and market will naturally open up."

"After the upper-class people are more famous, we can let the ladies from Jinfenglou Yuxuanji, Baiyulou courtesan and other romantic places do some advertising for our preserved eggs, uh, just do some publicity. Of course we will pay them.

, it can also open up some channels. After it spreads for a while, most people will know about this preserved egg, and then the restaurants that have signed contracts with us will beg us to sell it to them."

Cao Yi was talking eloquently there, and there was an inexplicable and impressive feeling of high-spiritedness. Hongxiu's eyes were even more colorful when she looked at her young master.

"Alright, Hongxiu, you have to make sure this jar of pine flower eggs is good enough to attract attention. Although the price is not very expensive, it will play a vital role in the subsequent development of our Zuixian Tower." Cao Yi gave another instruction to Hongxiu.

, the latter naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
