The kiln that she and Wei Zhong built together has become very useful after several modifications.
Once the charcoal fire is placed above and below, it is not much different from the current electric ovens. When high heat is needed, just add charcoal fire. If a lower temperature is needed, just remove some of the charcoal.
So Su Jixiang used the kiln at home to bake a plate of small cookies for Wei Ling.
Biscuits are easy to store, especially in a dry place like the North, where they are the easiest to preserve.
Even if Wei Ling couldn't eat it right away, he could put it in the food box and eat it when he was free.
Although there was no butter, the cookies were still very crispy and delicious. After Su Jixiang baked the cookies, the first batch was eaten by Lu Shui and the others. The second batch was sent to Wei Ling.
"Why do you look so bad?" Su Jixiang handed the food box to Wei Ling and couldn't help asking as soon as he saw his face.
"I didn't get much rest." Wei Ling touched his face, his skin was very dry. "It's okay, I'll just take a nap when I'm not busy anymore."
"You just got rid of the poison, you should be more careful." Su Jixiang knew that it was useless to persuade him, so she could only wait for him to go to sleep. But she still couldn't help but say.
"I know. Madam, don't worry. I know what's going on." Wei Ling smiled. He opened the food box and saw the neatly arranged small biscuits inside. He was slightly startled. "I've never eaten this kind of thing." He smiled and took a piece and smelled it. The wheat aroma was fragrant with a hint of milk. The biscuits were thin and cut into the same size, which looked very good.
"I asked Wei Zhong to help me find a farmer with cows and send two bottles of fresh milk to our home every day." Su Jixiang said, "I added some fresh milk to it, so it smells good. Try it."
Wei Ling put the biscuit in his mouth, and just with one bite, he let out a sigh of satisfaction in his heart.
He was really tired these days, but taking a bite of the biscuit seemed to release most of his tiredness and worries.
The biscuits are crispy and delicious, with a strong milky flavor and moderate sweetness. They are very crispy when you put them in your mouth, but soon become very soft and glutinous. The sweetness brings a leisurely sense of physical and mental pleasure.
It seemed as if the whole person relaxed as he ate each bite of the biscuits.
The nerves that were originally tense due to handling military camp affairs also relaxed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the sweet feeling in his mouth.
"Let's have some tea." Su Jixiang took out a pot of tea from under the lunch box. "This is milk tea made with fresh milk and tea leaves. It's very refreshing and goes perfectly with these cookies."
Wei Ling took the teacup that Su Jixiang had poured for him as he was told. He took just a sip and then let out another light sigh.
"Madam, your cooking skills are truly amazing!" Wei Ling said with a smile. "If you open a shop, you will definitely make a lot of money next year."
"Speaking of opening a store." Su Jixiang also became happy. She took out a piece of paper and said, "Look, these are the stores I asked Wei Feng to look for for me when I had nothing to do these two days. I think the locations of three of them are good. Let me show you first."
On the paper was a hand-drawn map, which was a schematic diagram of several streets in Mangcheng. The locations of three shops were circled by Su Jixiang.
"I think this is the best one." Su Jixiang pointed, "The space at the door is big enough, and there is a big yard at the back. It used to be a big carriage shop, but the owner had no business in the winter, so he wanted to change it to a small shop and do something else. I just liked that it was big enough."
"But the location of his house is not very good." Wei Ling also looked at it carefully.
This is the first time Su Jixiang asked him to participate in her affairs, so he must show his concern for her.
"His shop is a little off the beaten track." Wei Ling said, "It's not as good as this one!" He pointed to a shop in the center of Mangcheng and said, "This shop is right at the corner, at the intersection of two streets. There's a lot of traffic!"
"Yeah, I hesitated too, but I think his place is too small." Su Jixiang said, "I still like this place." She pointed to the big carriage shop.
"If you don't think it's a bit remote, then it's fine." Wei Ling said with a smile.
His wife is very opinionated. I think this matter has already been decided by her. Asking me is just a formality.
Wei Ling really understood Su Jixiang's mind.
Su Jixiang has already chosen the location for the store.
The big carriage shop she chose was located in the suburbs, and it was indeed a little more remote than the two shops in the center of the city, but it was not far away, only two streets away. However, the rent was much lower.
And the place of that big carriage shop is big enough.
Su Jixiang said that she wanted to open a restaurant, but in her plan, it was not just a restaurant at all, she needed a lot of space!
But she didn't tell Wei Ling everything she was thinking.
After all, her ideas and consciousness are more forward-looking. Some things still need to be taken one step further and then see if they can be implemented. Don't say them out loud first. It will be bad if they cannot be realized at that time!
"Then I'll settle here?" Su Jixiang was happy to see that Wei Ling had no objection.
It's also a nice feeling to have someone who doesn't spoil the fun by your side.
"Okay. If you feel it's inappropriate to come forward, I can also help you negotiate." Wei Ling said.
"No need. You are too busy with all this stuff. I won't bother you with my things." Su Jixiang put the map away happily and said with a smile.
"Just go to Wei Zhong and withdraw the silver you need," said Wei Ling.
"That's not necessary." Su Jixiang blinked at Wei Ling, "Since it's my own business, I'll pay for it myself. Whether I make a profit or a loss is my own business!"
Wei Ling laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, Madam, are you going to draw a line between you and me?"
"Don't say that." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "If I really have to pay a lot of money in the future, I won't be able to open it, but you won't give me less food, right!"
Wei Ling laughed and raised his hand to touch the tip of Su Jixiang's nose, "You!"
Then both of them were stunned. Wei Ling's intimate action did not seem strange at all.
And Su Jixiang didn't show any intention of avoiding it at all.
The two looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.
"Well... I have delivered the biscuits. You should eat well and have a good rest! If you need anything, just ask someone to tell them!" Su Jixiang felt her face getting a little hot. She quickly lowered her head to pack up the lunch box and said.
