Compared with the pastry plate that takes up a lot of space, the three-layer rotatable pastry stand not only looks more upscale, but is also more convenient to choose.
The pastry stand is exquisitely made, made of white porcelain, with red bean-sized crystal balls inlaid on the edge, making it look luxurious but not vulgar.
The cost is not much, because Qin Yue bought the crystal glass ball in the past because she thought it looked good.
The envoys from the two countries had never seen anything like this before, and were distracted for a moment.
They are made into various styles, and the colors are mainly light colors, which look very attractive.
When the envoys from the two countries reacted, each of them had already taken a piece and put it into their mouths. Before they could feel embarrassed, the cream that melted in their mouths was sweet and glutinous, smooth but not greasy, and the strong milk fragrance spread between their lips and teeth.
Come.
"What is this?" Yuan Guolai asked with an afterthought on his face.
Qin Yue said with a smile: "The one you eat here is called the cream ball, and the new one you picked up is called the matcha leaf."
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Yuan Guolai's face. It was really delicious. He picked up a piece unconsciously. When he saw from the corner of his eye that Xian Guolai was already picking up a piece with his left and right hands, he was a little reserved.
The other hand picked up a piece.
There are three floors in total, and the first floor has already been eaten up by the envoys from the Kingdom of Xian!
He was determined and didn't ask any more questions, and started eating while chatting.
Drinking tea, eating cakes and chatting, half a day passed very quickly.
What displeased the Yuan Kingdom was why the Xian people were so careless?
While everyone was drinking tea and chatting, this guy just kept eating!
This useless thing brings disgrace to the Xian people.
After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Qin Yue said with a smile: "What do you think of these pastries as trading items?"
The two nodded repeatedly. These pastries were very unique and tasted different from traditional pastries. There was no problem in using them as trading items.
The next step is to negotiate the price. The prices of pastries are also divided into different levels. Qin Yue listed three types for each of the two countries, all of which are their favorite flavors.
The prices were also set, with two high-end products and one affordable product for the pastries. What Qin Yue didn't expect was that both countries actually took a fancy to her pastry stand.
In the end, the same pastry stand was sold for five times the price of the most expensive pastry!
The main reason for this price is that her crystal glass balls are limited, so naturally the pastry stand has become a luxury item.
However, she took this opportunity to show them some other pastry stand styles, and they seemed very satisfied.
A negotiation ended, and China and the two countries reached trade cooperation.
After the envoys from the two countries left, Lu Yunjing suddenly laughed softly.
Qin Yue looked confused. This didn't look like a happy smile, but instead seemed to be laughing at her?
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Yue asked.
She was in a good mood after reaching a bilateral agreement on export and import.
Lu Yunjing shook his head, "I really can't tell that you still have talent in this area."
"which aspect?"
"negotiation."
Qin Yue pushed their things out while chatting and laughing, she was really very capable.
It's just that what he smiled at was Qin Yue's sullen face, pretending to be calm and calm. She was obviously very excited, but she still had to pretend.
These pastries were all made by Qin Yue herself, and the methods were taught to Xiuyun. When she started training, she would be in charge.
But just one person wasn't enough. She had to think about opening a dessert factory and doing assembly line operations.
Not only that, she also wants to make exquisite gift box sets, so that sales can attract more customers.
It is really not easy to develop the economy.
However, Lu Yunjing and Qin Yue were not completely relaxed this time. The contempt and contempt in their eyes were not concealed at all, and it was impossible to say they didn't care.
"The current situation is like this. Let's slowly change it. The economy and people's livelihood can develop in parallel." Qin Yue said.
Looking at Qin Yue's back, Lu Yunjing slowly chewed on these two words.
Not only these two, but also military power cannot be given up. Isn’t the diplomatic relationship they rely on to attract powerful weapons?
There were some problems before the city wall started to be repaired. Qin Yue looked at the structure of the city wall and asked the craftsmen on the side: "With such repairs, won't they be in vain if there is a siege?"
The craftsman recognized Qin Yue. Although he did not know that the offensive crossbow machine was made by her, he knew that she was the wife of the city lord, so he did not dare to neglect her.
"After a siege, there shouldn't be some repairs. But if you don't repair, the damage will be more serious next time."
"The cost is too high." Qin Yue frowned slightly.
The craftsman looked helpless, who didn’t know, but what could he do?
Nowadays, siege warfare generally uses siege engines and uses boulders or rotting animal carcasses as attack objects.
The former focuses on power attacks, while the latter relies on corpses to spread plague.
No matter which one you choose, you have to pass through the city wall, which is why the ancient city walls were so high.
"Do your craftsmen have a dedicated person in charge?" Qin Yue asked.
The craftsman resisted the urge to roll his eyes and nodded.
This is not nonsense?
In the past, there was a chief of workers in Daxia. Later, after independence, a separate Ministry of Works was set up, but no official positions were appointed yet. Only the chief of workers was appointed to manage the craftsmen in the Shaofu.
The status of craftsmen here is relatively high. Like military households, they have professional household registration, and their craftsmanship is generally passed down from generation to generation.
It's just that most of them have not yet formed a school, and they have a bit of semi-military management.
After all, she was the wife of the city lord. How could the craftsmen dare to offend her? Even though they knew that the construction period was heavy, they still ran to find the chief of work.
The engineer chief knew Qin Yue's details, and it was he who commanded the people to storm the ballista, so when he heard Qin Yue's call, he immediately put down what he was doing and ran over.
Many craftsmen have criticized this.
This work officer is too snobbish, knowing that she is the wife of the city lord, but he is still so enthusiastic even though he delays the construction period.
"Ms. Qin, what are your orders?" The work officer was also used to this title.
Qin Yue told the work officer about what had just happened, and saw the work officer frowning and saying: "As you know, we have no choice. In order to avoid excessive damage in the next siege, we can only increase the manpower. This time
The cost has gone up.”
Not only the labor cost, even if the boulder is not a valuable thing, too much time is wasted each time it is repaired.
"Let me give you an idea." Qin Yue said.
The work officer was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and said, "Please tell me!"
Qin Yue probably talked to him, and the work officer was stunned for a long time and said: "This is a method you mentioned, but we have never done it before, so we don't know how to do it?"
"I'll go back and draw a structural diagram for you. You can follow the structural diagram."
The engineer chief nodded and watched Qin Yue leave with great expectation.
The method she just mentioned can greatly alleviate the losses caused by siege warfare.
If sieges are frequent, this can be repaired as quickly as possible!
