Chapter 55 Technology Changes Life
A total of 60 chefs participated in the second competition today, and half of them were eliminated. The next competition will be in half a month, and the theme will be dim sum.
It almost put Yan Ruomeng in a difficult position. There were no ovens in this era.
After sitting in the pavilion and thinking for a long time, she remembered that she had seen a certain Internet master make an earth oven before.
Although I have never used it before, it is not too late to start now.
It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Yan Ruomeng rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
Before getting down to business, Yan Ruomeng cleared his throat first, and then shouted to his three companions (Tang Yin, Liang Yu, and Asan) who were ten feet away.
"Liangyu, prepare red mud and water."
"Goudan, come and play in the mud."
Liangyu had a sad face, why did the masters of other maids always ask them to get needlework, but her master was so unconventional?
Although she didn't know what Yan Ruomeng was going to do, she was the master after all, so Liangyu asked the guards to bring two buckets of red mud and one bucket of water.
In the courtyard dedicated to Yan Ruomeng, she had changed into minimalist clothes and no shoes. Her pair of small and delicate feet were just stepping on the ground without any padding. Her trouser legs were rolled up and tied to her knees, and her sleeves were rolled up.
A section of the lotus root arm was exposed.
Tang Yin stood next to Yan Ruomeng, wearing the same outfit as Yan Ruomeng - "true mother and son outfit".
The first time Liangyu saw this scene, he turned around and told the two guards to close their eyes.
Then he walked up to Yan Ruomeng and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Master, what are you doing? If the Crown Princess's people see it, they will definitely have to read it in front of His Highness again."
Yan Ruomeng said casually, "I'm not an official. What's wrong with Shenben? Besides, if you don't dress like this, how can you get along?"
"Master, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about His Highness!" Liangyu almost cried because of this disobedient master.
It's not that Yan Ruomeng can't understand her. In this era, women are never allowed to let men see their feet, but her current appearance can be seen by any male passing by.
Yan Ruomeng was convinced. Out of concern for her personal maid's blood pressure, she waved her hands and said, "Tell them to go out and close the door. We three can do it ourselves."
When the guard with his eyes closed heard this, he quickly thanked Yan Ruomeng and crawled out of this dangerous place.
Liangyu looked anxiously at the backs of the two guards as they left, "They're gone, who will bring Hongni here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liangyu's eyes almost fell to the ground.
At the door, Yan Ruomeng had already picked up two buckets of red mud with ease and walked to a suitable place in the yard.
Liangyu: "?"
"Why are you so stunned? You and Goudan first pour out a bucket of red mud."
After saying that, Yan Ruomeng turned around and easily picked up a bucket of water.
When everything was ready, Tang Yin had wrapped himself into a little clay figurine.
"Mom, why did you suddenly think of taking me to play in the mud today? Where's dad? Do you want to invite him to join us?" Tang Yin's little face showed a tangled look.
Yan Ruomeng wiped away the mud spots near his eyes with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Your father is a busy man, so I won't call him."
After cleaning up Tang Yin, Yan Ruomeng kicked out a pile of bricks from the corner, picked up a shovel in one hand and transformed into a mason.
"Besides, who said we were just playing in the mud today? I will help you make an oven and make roasted milk for you tomorrow."
Tang Yin now felt that Yan Ruomeng was the most powerful person in the world, and his eyes shone with admiration, "Mom, is there anything else you can't do?"
Based on the principle of not lying to children, Yan Ruomeng thought carefully and said, "Let me have a child."
"Pfft!" Liangyu almost choked to death on his saliva, "Master, be careful what you say."
"I know, come and help. If you do it now, you can still build it before dark."
As the pieces were built piece by piece, Yan Ruomeng's oven had begun to take shape. Below it was a hollow rectangle half a person's height, with several iron bars on it. Above it was a semi-encircling structural circle. From a distance, it looked like
A giant chocolate ball with an oven inside.
After doing all this, Yan Ruomeng looked at the extra red mud and without thinking too much, pressed a pair of cat ears on the giant chocolate ball.
Now her first cat oven is finished.
Tang Yin looked at the oven with a silly smile and drooled, "Mom, can this thing really roast milk?"
"Not only can we bake milk, but we can also bake snacks. I'll make them all for you another day." Yan Ruomeng looked at the oven he built with a sense of accomplishment.
"Why can't we do it today?" Tang Yin felt that he couldn't wait any longer.
Yan Ruomeng poked the still soft oven with her hand, "Have you ever seen people move in as soon as a house is built?"
Tang Yin knew that he could only spend his days drooling.
Yan Ruomeng turned to Liangyu and ordered, "Liangyu, burn some charcoal, carefully, and finally let it burn overnight. Then this stove will be ready for use."
Knowing that the matter was completed, Liangyu finally put his heart down, "Hey, Master, go wash up and change clothes. Leave it to me."
Yan Ruomeng took Tang Yin's hand and stepped outside the oven area. The door of the small courtyard opened with a creak.
Yan Ruomeng looked back in shock, already prepared to be persuaded by Liangyu again, but when she saw that the person coming was Tang Yuchuan, she felt inexplicably relaxed.
Liangyu's originally horrified expression turned into surprise.
Tang Yuchuan walked quickly to Tang Yin with confusion, "What are you doing? It's like fighting."
"How can a child not play in the mud? It's just an oven."
Reminded by Yan Ruomeng, Tang Yuchuan raised his head and glanced at the oven that was still dry. He had obviously never seen this thing before, so he had to warn him, "Be careful next time. He is a person with status after all."
"You're not a little brat anyway, how can you not let him play?" Yan Ruomeng shook off the red soil that was still wet on his hands and sniffed the smell in the air.
"Besides, being close to nature and feeling the aroma of earth is good for your physical and mental health."
"Who said that?" Tang Yuchuan thought that he had never heard this saying among the famous quotes and even experts' speeches that he had learned in his mind.
Yan Ruomeng was not afraid at all, "That's what I said."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and pushed Tang Yin towards Tang Yuchuan with one hand, "Goudan, let Ah San give you a bath."
Seeing Tang Yuchuan helplessly pull the child, Yan Ruomeng showed a successful smile, and then left gracefully.
Maybe I was too chic, and one of my feet unfortunately got sprained.
Yan Ruomeng instantly felt the pain of falling into hell, and let out a clear cry of pain, "Ah!"
Then his body tilted, and when he saw that the person was about to fall to the ground, Yan Ruomeng tightly closed his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Tang Yuchuan rushed forward in a panic, stretched out his hands, and Yan Ruomeng was hugged by Tang Yuchuan.
