Chapter 245 Post(4)_1
"Thank you, Third Young Master." Lin Ziyin replied with a grin, yet in her mind, she was thinking about her past and the idea of constructing a roasting duck oven to really kickstart her business.
The response from Tianji Building was swift. The small tools Lin Ziyin requested were quickly delivered by Hei Yi.
With the huller at hand, the roasting preparation for pine nuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts began, along with the oil paper and parchment paper delivered by Chu Suifeng. Lin Ziyin was tremendously busy, rushing back and forth from the greenhouse to the roasting room.
"Miss, the corn in the field is ripe. When should we harvest?" Cui Da came over to ask.
"Let me go take a look." As corn hadn’t been cultivated on a large scale yet, the corn growing in the few acres of the backyard seemed very precious to Lin Ziyin. Normally, she would not let anyone else see it, only her own family were allowed.
Upon reaching the cornfield and checking the ears of corn, she found the current batch was growing quite well. The grains were firm, and each stalk bore numerous ears of corn, marking a high yield.
"Cut them down tomorrow, remove the husks for drying, then use the sheller to remove the grains," said Lin Ziyin.
For the convenience of shelling corn in the future, Lin Ziyin had made a rudimentary machine in advance. So, shelling was not a difficult task for her.
Cui Da joyously agreed.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed for a while, the mooncakes made by the Lin family were still popular. Lin Ziyin took the initiative to include extra pastries for delivery. Even though low-gluten flour was not available, pastries made from natural wheat still tasted quite good.
Especially after several cows started to produce milk, the cooks of the family found great delight in making pastries.
