Chapter 377 [Songhe Fushou Stick]
Three thousand beauties in the harem are just an adjective.
Even if Qianlong's waist was made of titanium alloy, it couldn't cope with three thousand concubines.
But in the task, it is to provide [beauty snacks] for 3,000 women.
For 3,000 people, you need to prepare 3,000 snacks.
Just thinking about it made Li Yi nod his head.
The number of tourists in the Forbidden City is about 30,000 people every day.
Even if men and women are divided equally, there will be 15,000 female tourists every day.
In order to sell 3,000 copies in one day, one of every five female tourists must pay for it.
This ratio is still a bit high, and it is still difficult to complete.
It seems that in order to ensure the completion of the task, the next episode of the show must not only be sold in the restaurant, but also have to be sold outside the restaurant, or even on the street.
Gathering his thoughts, he looked down at a rectangular wooden box at his feet.
This is a special wooden box with a length of about one meter, a width of sixty centimeters, and a height of sixty centimeters.
It is made of jujube wood, deep red in color, carved on the surface, and the style is very exquisite.
Li Yi leaned over, unlocked the brass lock on the wooden box, and lifted the lid.
The bottom of the box is covered with silk cloth, and there are grooves inside. There are more than a dozen white table kitchen utensils of different materials, large and small.
There are wooden knives, wooden combs, bamboo tubes, and bamboo grates inside, but without exception, they are all made of wood.
And on both sides of the box, there is a thick and heavy wooden stick with a diameter of ten centimeters and a length of eighty centimeters.
It is orange-reddish-brown in color, with a flat section at one end, but it is surrounded by a five-centimeter-long pattern of pine trees and cranes.
The other end has a regular and special wedge-shaped pattern, like a maze, which looks very strange.
The appearance of the two wooden sticks is exactly the same, except for the pattern on the wedge-shaped end, which seems to be symmetrical, but the carving method is completely opposite, one is raised and the other is recessed.
Li Yi picked up the two sticks, one in each of his left and right hands.
The wooden stick is heavy to the touch and has a lot of weight.
Holding the wedge-shaped ends of the two sticks, Li Yi aligned them.
Afterwards, Li Yi moved forward with his left hand and backward with his right hand. With a slight twist, the wedge-shaped ends of the wooden stick were stuck together.
Then, Li Yi turned the two wooden sticks around in the opposite direction again, and then let go of one hand.
I saw that the joints of the two wooden sticks had become so tight that even the slightest gap could not be seen.
A 1.6-meter-long wooden stick just appeared in his hands.
This set of wooden kitchen utensils was a reward for Beauty Xiao after attending Qianlong's 80th birthday and presenting Qianlong with a table of dim sum for longevity.
This wooden stick is a rolling pin made of Siamese rosewood, named "Songhe Fushou Stick" by Qianlong.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, red rosewood, small-leaved red sandalwood, and huanghuali were known as the three major tribute trees dedicated to the court, and they were very valuable.
In that era when transportation was inconvenient, it was still very luxurious to use such a long piece of mahogany to make a rolling pin, and only the royal family could afford such a large sum.
This rolling pin was made by Zheng Ruhai, a national master carpenter of the Manufacturing Office. For the convenience of carrying, Master Zheng also cut it into two sections, and made a mortise and tenon structure in the center, which can be disassembled and combined freely.
Holding the rolling pin in his hand, Li Yi tried to wave it.
In the dream space, Xiao Meiren's strength is still a bit weak, and this rolling pin is still quite difficult to use.
In addition, it was bestowed by the emperor, and there is no chance to use it at ordinary times, so it is kept at home most of the time.
But with Li Yi's strength, it was much easier to use this rolling pin.
Li Yi disassembled the rolling pin again and put it in the box. Li Yi was very satisfied.
The space items this time are of good quality, convenient and beautiful.
Unlike the butcher's knife that was brought out last time, the dried blood in the blood tank couldn't be washed cleanly, it was smelly and dirty to death.
The white table is still clean, and they make some pastries and snacks. After finishing, there is at most some flour all over the body, and they will be clean and fragrant after taking a bath.
After locking the copper buckle, Li Yi thought for a while and placed it next to the wooden monument.
Find a chance later and take it out again.
Standing up, he glanced at the metal plate behind him.
He was surprised to find that the professional title that had already become "Culinary Expert" had suddenly advanced to another level and became "Famous Cooking Master".
Seeing this change, Li Yi was in a good mood.
It seems that his guess is correct, the improvement of culinary skills really needs to pass on the skills to benefit others.
In the show, he taught his grandparents how to make some dishes, and also taught many viewers the principle of the ratio of stewed ingredients.
Although they are not advanced skills, but some basic theoretical knowledge, they can also help some audiences improve their culinary skills.
There are millions of viewers in the live broadcast room. Even if everyone only learns a little bit and can only provide Li Yi with a little experience, the accumulation of so many people is not a small sum.
If you want to achieve such a wide spread and cause such a big impact in ancient times, it will definitely not be possible without a few decades.
Only in modern times, with the influence of the Internet, can such an effect be achieved.
This is the power of technology.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Li Yi returned to reality.
Still familiar with the hotel ceiling, Li Yi raised his hand to search for his phone, took it over and looked at it, only to find that it had only been two hours.
Then, a sore feeling of fatigue hit, as if it came on those days every month.
Li Yi subconsciously rubbed his lower abdomen, only to realize that this should be caused by excessive blood loss when entering the wooden monument space.
After realizing this, Li Yi felt extremely comfortable.
Finally no more pain every month.
It's nice to be a man!
Closing his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The morning light came in through the cracks in the curtains.
Li Yi stretched, turned over and sat up, and subconsciously raised his hand to stroke his ear, but he didn't touch his long hair.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Yi remembered that he had recovered his male body.
Instantly feeling better, he turned over and got out of bed, and opened the curtains.
The bright sunshine shrouded the capital outside the window with a layer of golden brilliance, and the office buildings in the distance reflected the rising sun.
Li Yi took a deep breath and sighed freely.
There are no two lumps of fat, and even breathing is much more comfortable.
When he came to the bathroom, he looked at the empty washbasin, hesitated for a moment, just like before, took the water with his hands, and washed his face.
If it was before, after he washed his face, he would wipe it off with a towel before going out.
But this time he washed it twice, but his face still felt greasy and uncomfortable.
Looking up in the mirror, he keenly noticed a small red bump on the left side of his chin.
Why do you have acne?
You must have washed your face before.
Touching the acne on his face, Li Yi glanced at the toiletry box prepared by the hotel.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have never opened the box before.
After a little thought, he opened the wash box and found a piece of soap the size of a rubber.
After tearing open the packing bag with nothing written on it, Li Yi took out the soap, lowered his head and smelled it, and immediately frowned at the strong smell of industrial essence.
This kind of three-no product is not safe to use, right?
Are you afraid you have to wash your face badly?
After thinking about it, he went back to the bed, took out his mobile phone, found Liu Yifei's WeChat, and sent a voice message: "Yifei, have you woken up yet? Do you have any extra facial cleanser over there? Get me some for use." Bar!"
