Two institutes.

Serving it up later is the "one fish, three meals" that Shu Shu never forgets.

The tenth elder brother came and also brought joy.

It's okay in the summer. The imperial dining room occasionally prepares fresh river fish, and you can still eat it once or twice for the money you spend.

After the season, it is not easy to eat fish in the palace.

The so-called "one fish, three meals" means one fish, three ways of cooking.

The fish head is made into tofu fish head stew, the fish tail is made into braised fish tail, and the fish body is made into spicy grilled fish.

Even if I choose the smallest one, it weighs five or six pounds, and each portion is quite large.

I only added a side of vinegar cabbage and nothing else.

The dinner table was placed, and the three of them ate hard.

I ate all the spicy grilled fish, half of the braised fish tail was left, and half of the fish head stew was also eaten.

The vinegar cabbage also went to the big plate.

When the dining table was removed, looking at the two people who were still unfinished, Shu Shu smiled and said: "We are in a hurry today, or we can pick a big one and make a whole table."

Steamed fish heads, fried fish cubes, fish balls, fish scale jelly and so on.

Brother Ten said: "It's enough to satisfy your craving. The grilled fish is so delicious and even more tender when you eat it."

Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "These dishes are fine if they are cooked and eaten right now. But will they taste bad if you eat them after cooking them for the New Year?"

New Year dishes must be heated and eaten.

There's nothing wrong with big meat. The fish won't be as fresh and tender once it's heated up.

Shu Shu had already discussed this with Xiaotang in the afternoon.

The second one has made crispy fish. It can be preserved for a long time by marinating, frying and soaking in oil.

You can heat it when you want to eat it, or eat it cold. It tastes good, and the taste is more similar to canned fish in later generations.

She said: "If you save one, you can eat it twice a year ago. The remaining fish meat will be made into crispy fish, and the fish head and scales will be made into fish jelly. When the time comes, it can be used as a cold dish. The taste will not change."

The tenth elder brother was standing by and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth, make half the spicy crispy fish, it will be more delicious."

Shu Shu agreed.

It's time to watch, and the tenth prince has gone back to the third house.

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu also took a shower.

Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Since the recipes have to be given away, then the number of dishes to be served will be reduced to once a month, otherwise it will still be too eye-catching..."

Just like what was given today, only Ersuo and Yuqing Palace can get it, which makes people look at it.

You must know that each palace in the palace has its own dining room.

This time, Ersuo passed over the inner dining room of other concubines and received these rewards, which probably made many people jealous.

Yuqing Palace will not take this matter to heart, because the daily supply there is first in line.

There is never a shortage of these things.

Just like Er got only two plates of oranges, Yuqinggong got two baskets directly.

Yuqing Palace took it for granted, and so did everyone else in the palace.

But if Er Yi gets two baskets of oranges, I'm afraid the concubines will not feel comfortable.

Shu Shu nodded and said, "It happened once a year ago."

After being gifted with so many things, the two institutes should also be more aware of their interests and send some New Year dishes as a tribute.

In the next two days, the two dining rooms stepped up their efforts to prepare New Year dishes.

The six stoves are almost never idle, from morning to night.

Brother Ninth does not need to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the couple is free.

The two went to Jingyang Palace together, returned the "New Book of Tang", and borrowed a set of "Zizhi Tongjian".

The sixty-six volumes of "New Book of Tang" were borrowed after the wedding at the end of June, and I have just finished reading them one after another.

Brother Jiu read this as a storybook, and his favorite was the Englishman Li Ji.

Because he has the merit of opening up new territories and expanding his territory, and rarely fails.

Which young man doesn't have a dream of becoming a general?

After replacing "Zizhi Tongjian", he did not read it from the beginning, but started reading it from the Tang Dynasty, looking for the deeds of the British Duke in it.

Shu Shu started from the beginning.

The opening chapter of "Zizhi Tongjian" is "Three schools are divided into Jin", which is the dividing line between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This period of history is not like the unified history of the Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which is familiar to the people of later generations.

Quite novel.

It's just that the text is a bit obscure and the amount of information is too much.

Shu Shu read two pages, her mind was a little confused and her eyes were dazzled, so she put it down.

She missed reading books outside.

Although the current scripts are not in vernacular, they are almost in the style of "Dream of Red Mansions". The reading experience is much better, it is simple and easy to read, and the brain does not get stuck.

Isn’t it too leisurely to spend every day just eating and reading?

It doesn't seem to make any sense.

Even if Xiaoyu writes the plan for Rouge Shop, and the business outside will be launched next year, Shu Shu still seems to be living in chaos.

Shu Shu looked up and saw the small gilt clock on the desk.

The clock face is no bigger than a child's fist and looks very delicate. There is also a pattern of a giant dragon surrounding a golden sun embedded on the back.

The shape of this dragon is obviously Western, and it looks like a lizard with wings.

This one was not made in-house, but was produced in France. It was given to the ninth prince on his tenth birthday.

The outside world is already in the process of industrialization.

The Qing Dynasty was still farming and did not solve the problem of food and clothing.

Shu Shu looked at this and remembered a children's book story, which was recommended by a teacher in his previous life, called "The Story of Qian Ya A Shang".

The whole story is full of childlike interest, telling its difficult and warm life from the perspective of the front teeth.

It’s not easy to write anything else, and if your thoughts are exposed in it, it will be the source of disaster.

Can you also write a fairy tale?

Write a story like "Little Bell Traveled across the Ocean for Fifty Years"?

Let’s start from France, its birthplace, from workshops on the edge of the city to commodity distribution centers, from the capital to the docks.

From the distant European continent, we traveled all the way across the ocean to the mysterious eastern port of Guangzhou.

Then from Guangzhou Port to Beijing.

Her heart was pounding.

Kangxi had been emperor for more than thirty years, and his thoughts had solidified.

Year after year, the older we get, the more we seek stability and dislike change.

The princely elder brother of the Ninth Age's generation has a well-formed outlook on life that is difficult to shake.

What about the royal grandchildren?

Except for the eldest grandson of Yuqing Palace, the others are all infants and have no enlightenment.

It is a fairy tale, simple and easy to understand, and there is no need to research the history of watchmaking.

Just know a rough historical line.

Calculating the time, the current France happens to be during the long reign of the Sun King and is relatively stable.

Shu Shu picked up the pen and began to tell the story in Xiao Zhong's tone.

It was born in a manual watch workshop in the suburbs of Paris and was polished by old craftsmen.

When he was born, he looked ordinary, no different from the other eight brothers.

The boss talked loudly and told the craftsmen about the mysterious ancient Eastern country where gold was everywhere.

"They are worth ten silver coins in Paris, but when shipped to China, they can be sold for a hundred silver coins... Gilt it, and it can be worth three hundred, plus dragons. Legend has it that it is a country guarded by dragons, plus The sun is engraved and made by palace craftsmen, oh, let’s sell it for a thousand silver coins..."

The little clock fell into a deep sleep, and when it woke up again, it was no longer the ordinary little clock, but a splendid golden wall. It almost blinded its own eyes, and it looked very expensive and extraordinary.

In order to make the text less special, Shu Shu abandoned "De Di De".

Although it still looks like vernacular, it is much simpler.

Shu Shu wrote very cheerfully, with a smile on her face involuntarily.

Sure enough, it is important to maintain a childlike innocence.

She had an image of an innocent and cute little Zhong in her mind.

She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but take on the appearance of Brother Nine.

From west to east, it will grow into a knowledgeable and knowledgeable little bell.

At the appropriate time, tell the new generation of emperors and grandchildren about the vastness of this world and the rapid development outside.

After Shu Shu had written a few pages of the opening chapter, his wrist became sore and he put down the pen.

Then I heard Brother Jiu say: "Where's the back?"

He didn't know when he came over, and he watched it with gusto.

Shu Shu spread his hands and said, "I haven't thought about it yet..."

Brother Jiu asked: "Then we have to go to the pier, right? Get on the boat..."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "I don't know either. I just thought of this and wrote it here..."

As for the next plot, she hasn't thought about it yet.

Brother Jiu looked at the three pages with hundreds of words, shook his head and said, "You just made Fujin for me. If you write a book, you have to beg for food..."

Shu Shu stretched out her hand and said, "What should I do if my wrist is sore?"

Ninth Age pulled her over, rubbed her hands, and said: "Khan Ama has some Western quills over there. I'll beg for two boxes later..."

Shu Shu hurriedly said: "No, no, you can just use the eyebrow pencil as a refill to write later."

Brother Ninth's eyes were still glued to those pages: "Why did you think of writing this? Is it for me to read? When the cashmere comes out, we will follow suit and make more tricks and double the sales to France..."

As he said that, he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not possible. It's not easy to be better than the old. It's more suitable to sell to places like Southeast Asia, Russia, and Mongolia... But our unique porcelain and silk satin can increase sales. More Earn some money and come back..."

Shu Shu pointed at the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" next to him and said, "I just thought it looked like a lot of effort, so I wanted to write a simple and fun story, so I could coax Xiao Liu and the others to go back..."

Brother Jiu was unhappy and said: "What are you doing with all that effort? My hands are tired from writing..."

Shu Shu said softly: "Idle time is idle, just passing the time. If we have a little brother, let him see it too..."

Brother Jiu remained silent.

Prince Zhuang's Mansion is a lesson learned from the past.

Since he had no son, he was regarded as fat by his cousins, and many people stared at him.

If your family really doesn't have any children in the future, then you can decide on an heir early and save yourself the trouble.

He said: "Then why doesn't it seem easier to start from France and then directly write about the Qing Dynasty?"

Shu Shu pointed to the Sun Dragon Clock on the desk and said, "Didn't you see it?"

Brother Jiu picked it up again, read it again, shook his head and said, "It looks too plain to be elegant. How about I help you polish it?"

Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's not like taking it out to engrave or polish it. It's just a children's book, written for fun..."

Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, we don't care about the reputation of a talented woman."

There are talented women now.

Also sought after by literati.

But their backgrounds are not all good, and most of them are people in social circles.

For example, the deceased talented man Nalan Rongruo had a concubine named Shen Wan, a talented girl from Jiangnan who was a female poet.

Some good families are mostly widows.

Shu Shu laughed and said, "I think too highly of me. Where can I find a serious book?"

Nowadays, people value poetry, lyrics and songs, which is not orthodox in the first place.

Not to mention Shu Shu, a children’s book that is so simple that it is shockingly simple.

Even if a great scholar were to read it, he would only criticize it for being useless, and would probably be regarded as a representative of uneducated and unskilled people.

Brother Jiu thought more and valued Shu Shu's erudition. He did not regard this as a pure children's book. He pointed at one of the passages and said: "But there is also a book on business in it. How about changing it? Don't let outsiders read it." go!"

Shu Shu just wants to use "Little Bell" to subtly influence the next generation of emperors and grandchildren, and doesn't care much about other things.

She nodded and said, "I won't change the things I keep at home. I will change everything else that I think is inappropriate..."
