Chapter Ninety-Two: Ripening
"Auntie, your drink is so delicious! Thank you very much for this lunch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "Nina thanked Aunt after helping Ellie finish lunch.
"Thank you for your hospitality. Ellie said with a smile after Nina. Leah, who was still watching the interesting eating methods of Ai Wei and X, suddenly came back to her senses when she heard their words, and hurriedly thanked her aunt. This lunch is for nothing! A final thank you is a must!
It's still early, but the convenience store has already sold out of goods, and there is a sign that it is out of stock. The aunt, who is occasionally free, also continues to sit idly on this seat and continue to chat with Nina.
"Auntie, why is your ice crumb drink so popular!
This seems to touch on the aunt's trade secrets, but the aunt said without any cover-up: "Hmm...... In fact, it is mainly in the academy, although there are freezers that can refrigerate drinks, but there is no machinery that can produce ice chips. ”
Nina nodded. Drinks are also sold on the second and third floors of the college cafeteria, but they are either kept at room temperature or kept in the freezer.
The aunt continued: "It's so hot. After a while, the drink has not become a drink of normal temperature, and it is only after drinking it for a certain period of time that it has that cold feeling. And my drink is similar, but the most important thing is the ice chips, and the ice chips on the drink are not the same as drinking the drink? Therefore, the speed at which the ice chips merge will constantly urge the students to eat before all the ice chips melt. ”
"In the past, I actually considered using prepared ice cubes to shave into ice chips, but the slag from the ice cubes was not as good as the effect made in the ice machine. The aunt pointed out her meticulous points: "The shaved ice made by the ice cubes melts too quickly on the surface of the drink. That is, before there is time for such a thin layer of ice crust to appear on the surface of the ice chips, it will melt. ”
"And if you put ice cubes, you obviously don't have that unique charm. In addition, the large amount of water in the ice cubes will weaken the taste of the mixed drink itself. ”
As soon as the three of them heard this, they understood the advantages of the ice crumb drink made by the aunt. If the drink is with ice cubes, it may be cold and will remain cold for a longer time. However, the time to eat it is only at noon, and drinks that are not as good as ice chips are not easy to carry and can be drunk quickly.
In the same way, the melting of ice chips will cause students to eat as quickly as possible in a short period of time. If you don't finish eating, the ice chips will melt away, but in fact, it is not much different from a drink, and it is a good item to cool off.
And the production speed of the aunt is still okay, the queue seems to be very long, but in fact, the progress is very fast. It can make a three-person portion in a few tens of seconds, and this is still based on the fact that the ice maker is not efficient enough. Or the longer you wait, the longer the queue, the better the food you buy?
In the hot weather, this ice crumb drink not only makes you feel cold for a while, but its unique milky aroma also keeps the taste for a longer time, soft but cold.
Summing up a few points, the aunt thus gained the upper hand in the drink.
At this point, the aunt's face was a little sluggish and said: "Compared with last month, although there are more people buying drinks here, it is ......"
Nina was a little puzzled, she asked, "Auntie, your business is good, can't you make more money, isn't this a happy thing?"
The aunt didn't have the slightest sense of joy that she had made a lot of money in business, sighed sadly, and said slowly: "Do you know the reason why the weather in the city is so hot now? The vegetables and fruits I grow there are almost dying of heat, and one of the ingredients of this drink is made from the fruit that comes out of mine and the jam that comes out......
Nina thought about it, she really didn't know why it was so hot in the city lately. Although she was born with ice and sometimes felt that the weather was too hot, she didn't know what was so special about it. Isn't it so hot at this time of year? It's summer, and it's normal for hot spots to be hot, right?
Shook his head. Nina said she didn't know and asked the aunt to continue.
"The reason for the hot weather lately was two months ago! At that time, you were still in the elementary school, right?" the aunt muttered a digression, and then continued: "At that time, in order to improve the economy or the level of the town, the city carried out a major transformation of most places in the city, and they planned to renovate the city so that it could enter a better level of development!"
Nina and Ellie nodded at the same time, both of them knew it. After all, one is the only daughter of the Adventure Guild and the daughter of a top family in the city. In addition, the renovation of the city will inevitably have additional construction sheds, which can be seen as long as you walk on the road, these are scenes that are impossible to ignore.
And with a little inquiry, you will understand what is going on in the town. Even if you don't understand it at the deep level, you will still understand it at the bottom level.
"At that time, trees could be cut down, and old houses could be demolished! Stores should be expanded as much as possible! Clustered! Whether they were divided or transferred! If they had no money, they would borrow from the city lord! They would build weapons, build defenses, and strengthen towns!" The aunt exhaled and paused: "This is a big project! Normally, a house takes a long time to build, but such a huge project in the city was completed in less than a week or two! I don't know how many practitioners have been injured. ”
Nina was confused, not only did she feel that the two sides were not compatible, but at the same time said justifiedly: "Isn't this a good thing? In the past, when the beast tide attacked, it always needed the strong to go out to resist, but now that the wall has been upgraded and strengthened, isn't it more able to block the beast tide outside." ”
Auntie shook her head silently. She felt that there were still some things that these girls could not know and that would make them sad. There are some things that the adults should do.
The aunt deliberately diverted the topic: "Oh, I went to another place again! Actually, the temperature in this city has risen because of the recent renovation of the city." ”
"It's mainly the trees around the old houses! although they are ordinary trees, they are still trees that are native to the city. The aunt said, "This old tree is used by pumping water from the ground, do you know where this water is connected?"
"Oh, Auntie, I see! It's Yu Tan Lin!" said Nina, as if she had solved the puzzle. When she said this, she immediately made her aunt praise her for being so smart.
"Definitely. The trees in the city are used by pumping interconnected water, and the trees themselves are planted in large quantities, although they do not pump much real water, but they still play a cooling role. Ancient trees are older, have stable and deep roots, and can naturally penetrate deeper into the ground and absorb more groundwater. The aunt smiled: "Little girl, in the future, you have to find a friend from the wood department and ask them to help you plant more trees in Youtan City! Or you go and water more to make the trees grow faster, otherwise the temperature will not be high!"
Nina responded very decisively: "Okay aunt!
Hearing this, the aunt couldn't help but joke: "Of course, don't play too much, otherwise you will die of cold in winter!"
"Haha. Nina, Arlie, and Aunt all chuckled.
Remembering something. The aunt pulled out two items from the large overalls pocket.
One is a transparent ice crystal. There was a very small hole in it, and it was the crystal that Leah had removed from the array disc in the ice maker when she came to help her aunt. I don't know what Auntie's purpose is for taking it out now.
The other is a fruit, which is a green fruit. It was also after Leah picked it from the Youtan Forest, and it was constantly divided, and the last fruit left, its color was almost cyan. According to the legend, the green fruit not only tastes bad, but it is also inedible, and eating it will cause diarrhea! Anyway, it is quite hard to pinch, and it seems to last for a long time. As long as you don't deliberately crush it, it should last for a long time.
The aunt smiled and said, "Little girl, this is what I found when I just helped you do the laundry." Although it is not good to turn your clothes without permission, if you put the things that cannot be washed and put them in the machinery to wash, what will happen, Auntie doesn't know!" Auntie half-lifted the fruit and shook it with a smile.
What happens to this fruit if it is stirred?
It's a question worth exploring.
Leah blinked and immediately thanked her aunt. She has never bothered to care about these details. She often forgot about this fruit, and every day except when she took a shower and changed her clothes at night, she would recall it because of the change of undressing, and then change into the pocket of another dress, the rest of the time she did not remember it!
The aunt shook the two things in her hand and said tentatively: "Little girl, do you want to eat this ripe fruit?"
It's not delicious when it's not ripe, but it's definitely the best when it's ripe!
"Auntie, do you have any special way to ripen you?" asked Leah, who had thought about it before, but the main ripe fruit was lost, so she couldn't do it!
"Hmm...... Yes, it's just that the taste of this ripening fruit is gone, and it is not as good as the fruit that is really ripe in the Youtan Forest. Auntie said. Of course, the little girl doesn't have to worry about diarrhea, and the toxicity of the fruit after ripening will also be faded by the way. If you don't mind, try one. ”
Even though the aunt reminds Leah that the taste of this fruit may disappear, Leah decides that she wants to try it again!
Moreover, the aunt also said that this fruit is not poisonous when it is ripe, and I am not afraid that it will have diarrhea. Anyway, this is also the last green fruit, and there is no other way to ripen it, so let's just use it now.
"Do you want to eat the fruit? Fox had finished eating at the table next to him, and he overheard the conversation of the people at the table next to him, and saw Leah. For Leah's tangled expression, he thought that he was reluctant to give the fruit in his hand, so he returned the fruit to Leah very gracefully.
Although this is an important token that Leah gave him, but Nex firmly believes that even without this connection, their relationship will be more intimate in the future! This fruit is just the beginning, not the end of sending it back!
Thinking of this, Fox gracefully took out the fruit wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it back to Leah. Hearing the girl's thanks, she stroked her hair and left in style.
He was followed by Aiwei. He greeted them first, and then impatiently asked where he wanted to go, but no one could answer him. He ran out again in a rage, shouting incessantly: "Lux, don't run! If you have the ability, you will fight for another hundred rounds!
Ai Wei's attendant Wei Liluo bowed to them submissively, and kept saying sorry for causing them trouble. He also turned around and caught up with the acolyte in front of him.
Leah blinked, she didn't know why Fox was giving the fruit back to her now. Could it be that the fruit will become more delicious when ripened? Leah became more eager to try it, and she wanted to know more and more what would become of the fruit when the aunt ripened it.
Leah looked expectantly at the green fruit in her aunt's hand. What kind of magic can Aunt conjure?
At the same time, she casually shoved the fruit that Fox handed over to her pocket. Aunt Fruit already has it in her hand, and when the fruit is ripe, give the fruit in her pocket to Auntie, and ask her to make it again.
