"Hello, grandpa." Leng Yichen greeted Su Dong respectfully.
Su Dong: "Lele, are you okay in the Wang Mansion? She hasn't been back to the Su Mansion for several days. Please tell her that my grandfather has almost finished the honey-glazed pork jerky she sent."
"Tell the princess if you can make more honey-glazed pork breasts. The servants sent today didn't even get any." The old lady echoed boldly.
Leng Yunmo: "What honey-glazed pork jerky, a new snack? Why haven't I eaten it before? Grandpa, you are hiding snacks and eating them secretly, right?"
"The king will inform the princess when he returns."
The old men looked at the silent and cold second prince and did not dare to say anything.
Third Princess: "It turns out that the second emperor's sister-in-law made such delicious pork jerky!"
Fourth Prince: "The food sent to the palace is almost finished."
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at their second brother.
Leng Yichen ignored them and walked downstairs.
"Your Highness, I will go back to the palace with you and discuss something with you." Leng Yunmo smiled flatteringly.
"I will not go back to the palace if I have something to do."
Leng Yunmo's trick was discovered, and he didn't feel upset for long. It seemed that he could only rely on himself.
Su Lele, whom everyone talks about, is busy making crispy green plums. I heard that there are many green plum trees on the mountains near the suburbs. Su Lele plans to make some crispy green plums to try first. If everyone responds well, he will buy green plums from farmers.
He ordered his servants to clean the picked green plums, then add vinegar and salt to rub them. After the small fuzz on the surface of the rubbed green plums was almost gone, Su Lele ordered his servants to cut each green plum into a cross with a knife, down to the core. , this not only retains the integrity of the green plums, but also facilitates the precipitation of the bitter water in the green plums. After cutting, place the green plums in a large wooden tray filled with salt water and soak for a day.
In the evening, a servant came to report: "Princess, the prince wants you to go to Yijing Pavilion."
"good."
After a busy day, Su Lele didn't want to move, but who called him a prince?
When they came to Yijing Pavilion, they saw a table of food. Su Lele, who was a little hungry, started to growl at this time.
Leng Yichen, who was sitting elegantly, looked at her with his bright black eyes and said in a low voice, "What are you doing standing here? Dining with me."
Su Lele sat down opposite him unceremoniously. After watching Leng Yichen start eating, she also started to use her chopsticks. Leng Yichen had a temperament that was silent during eating and sleeping, and Su Lele was too hungry, so the two of them ate quietly.
After the meal, Su Lele took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to see me?"
"I met my grandfather today at Yipinju. He likes to eat pork jerky very much. The response from outside has been good. If the princess has considered increasing the quantity for sale, please contact the housekeeper if there is insufficient manpower."
It seemed that my grandfather was greedy and came to her to ask for pork jerky.
"Tomorrow I will send some to the Su Mansion and the Imperial Palace. As for the Prince's Mansion, we will not consider expanding the scale of production for now."
Su Lele told him about the hunger marketing strategy again, knowing she had an idea and didn't say much.
The main reason is that making snacks in the palace is not suitable for expansion at the moment, and we will consider other options when the workshop opens later.
Seeing her yawning after eating, Leng Yichen didn't keep her for long. Su Lele returned to Yanyu Pavilion and immediately took a bath, washed and went to bed.
In the afternoon of the second day, the green plums had been soaked for a day, and their color had obviously turned yellow. The water was also full of the sour taste of green plums. Su Lele poured out the salt water, washed it several times with water, and then soaked it in clean water for a day to remove the bitter taste from the green plums.
"Miss, if you pickle a batch of sesame sauce eggs and salted duck eggs every two days, will you make too much? The first batch is not ready yet and you haven't tried it yet?" Maid Qiu Yu asked worriedly.
"Miss, don't you have confidence in what I made?"
Qiu Yu acted coquettishly towards her young lady: "Oh, young lady, of course I believe you, I'm afraid of what might happen..."
"Don't worry, tell the servants to continue pickling." She was worried that there wouldn't be enough to sell by then.
In the past few days, Su Lele was busy making crispy green plums, and Leng Yichen was busy handling cases, leaving each other undisturbed.
Su Lele tasted a green plum and found that it was no longer bitter. She took the green plum out of the water and dried it until it was dry.
After Su Lele touched the dry green plums, she ordered her servants to boil several pots of sugar water in an earthen pot. After the sugar water cooled down, she put it into several large earthen jars without water or oil. Then she poured the green plums into the sugar water and put them in a cool place. Leave for one day.
The next day, pour away the soaked sugar water, boil a new pot of sugar water, let it cool, pour it in and continue soaking.
Repeat the operation on the second day on the third day, and you can eat it on the fourth day.
Su Lele looked at the results of several days of hard work, green plums in several large earthen jars.
"Qiu Yu, try these crisp green plums." After finishing speaking, she eagerly took one into her mouth and took a bite.
"Hmm~ It's sweet and sour, and it's an appetizing snack. It's delicious." Maid Qiu Yu praised it.
The crispy and juicy texture is exactly the same as the crunchy green plum she ate in modern times.
"Qiu Yu, tell your servants to send two small earthen jars of crisp green plums to the Prince's Mansion and Yijing Pavilion, and four small earthen jars to the Imperial Palace and Su Mansion."
Su Lele considered that the Queen Mother and the Empress probably liked to eat the sweet and sour fruit, and that her sister-in-law was pregnant and loved to eat the sweet and sour fruit, so she gave some more.
"Okay." The young lady never forgets her relatives and friends every time she has delicious food. Such a good young lady is actually a good match for the prince, but it is a pity to think that the two of them will get divorced two years later.
Su Mansion
Wang Huilan: "Lele, did you send something delicious again? Didn't you send pork jerky two days ago?"
"I heard this snack is called Crispy Green Plum, let me try it." Li Chuyun, who was pregnant, was greedy.
“Wow, it’s sour, sweet, juicy, and has a crisp texture, not bad.”
"It's not bad." Li Huilan's eyes lit up.
At this time, the palace also had the same scene. The Queen Mother and the Queen were full of praise for the crisp green plums.
"This granddaughter-in-law is so smart. She can make so many snacks and they are so delicious."
"Yes, I heard from Yichen that the dishes at Yipinju were also thought up by my daughter-in-law."
The two of them were quite surprised when they learned last time that Su Lele had come up with all the snacks in the Su family.
When the Queen Mother first learned that her second grandson was marrying the daughter of Su Qinghe, a ninth-rank official, and that she was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, at first she felt that she was a little unsuitable for her grandson, who was both civilized and military. Now her view of her has changed. .
Su Lele had almost picked all the green plums in the palace. Su Lele plans to visit other villages in the suburbs tomorrow to discuss purchasing green plums with farmers.
"Princess, General Leng wants to see you." The housekeeper came to report.
General Leng Leng Yunmo, the grandson of the Duke of Laozhen and a good friend of the prince, came to see him for some reason, which made Su Lele feel a little confused.
This doubt was soon answered.
