After the summer solstice, the weather becomes hotter and hotter, the morning sun rises earlier and the sunset sets later. Ordinary monsters still don't feel anything, and Xiuxiu, who is a mortal, has already begun to shout every day that she is going to be hot.

It was Tsing Yi who drew cool well water early in the morning to prepare for some cold drinks, because she only made snow soaked bean water yesterday, and today she changed to ice and snow licorice soup.

Put a handful of licorice in half a pot of water and boil, and you can get a clear and sweet licorice soup in less than an hour. Thinking that Xiuxiu was a child who loved sweetness, she put more sugar and deliberately made the soup sweet.

The ice cubes taken by Su Xi have been ground and placed in a porcelain urn, and when the sweet soup has cooled, Tsing Yi uses a small porcelain bowl with a deep mouth to hold the licorice soup, and then sprinkles some crushed ice cubes, and the ice and snow licorice soup is made.

When Tsing Yi stirred up the crushed ice with a spoon, the transparent crushed ice continued to fluctuate with the slightly yellowed soup, and when he heard the crisp sound of the crushed ice colliding, Tsing Yi unconsciously gave birth to an illusion, as if the air around him had become cool with this sound.

Xiuxiu, who was waiting for cold drinks every day, didn't wait to finish lunch, so she rushed to the kitchen and stuck to Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi looked at Xiuxiu's hot sweat, and took back the ice and snow licorice soup that was prepared for her.

"Hey-Sister Tsing Yi, Sister Tsing Yi-" Seeing that Tsing Yi put the cold drink back on the stove, Xiuxiu immediately became anxious, she hurriedly twisted Tsing Yi's arm and begged, "Xiuxiu is so hot, so thirsty-"

"I've said it many times, you can't run around for cold drinks when you're sweating." Tsing Yi stretched out his hand and poked Xiuxiu's sweaty forehead and said angrily, "Don't wipe the sweat quickly, and then as a punishment, you need to wash the sand and bad beans in those mung beans and soybeans before you can drink the ice and snow licorice soup made today." ”

As she spoke, she tilted her head towards the two sacks in the corner of the kitchen, signaling to Xiuxiu that that was the task she needed to complete.

As soon as Xiuxiu turned around, she saw the two sacks that were half her height, and she cried and mourned.

"Pick carefully, if the rotten beans and sand can't be cleaned, I'll take all the ice and snow licorice soup for Hei Saburo to drink!" Before Tsing Yi left, he didn't forget to scare Xiuxiu and said, "Don't drink secretly while I'm not there, if I find out, I won't make you sweet soup and cold drinks in the future!" ”

When Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately pounced on the two bags of beans, and then pouted her lips and said aggrievedly to Tsing Yi: "I don't drink secretly, I don't drink secretly!" I said I'll let me drink it! ”

Tsing Yi called Xiuxiu's aggrieved little appearance so much that she just wanted to laugh, and after finally suppressing her smile and nodding, she went straight to the lobby.

The lobby was full at this time, and as soon as Hei Saburo, who was busy back and forth, saw Tsing Yi, his originally slightly gloomy face immediately lit up.

Seeing this, the guest at the table who was arguing with Hei Saburo had an idea, and instead continued to quarrel with Hei Saburo, he got up and waved to Tsing Yi and shouted: "Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi, come on!" ”

Tsing Yi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw from a distance that the guests at the table were screaming and jumping there, causing everyone in the lobby to look at them strangely.

"I wonder what the guest officer wants?" After coming to them, Tsing Yi only glanced at the other party's dress, and saw that the guests at this table were all wearing jade crowns and brocade robes embroidered with plum blossom aoxue pictures, one of them was old and one young, and the rest were all little ladies with golden veils on their heads. ”

"No, no, no, we don't want food and drink." The noisy guests changed their posture in the blink of an eye, and one of the little ladies even ignored the dark-faced Hei Saburo on the side, so urgently leaned over to Tsing Yi, and said sneakily in a voice that was so light that it changed its voice, "We want that thing, it's that-you know-"

"That?" Tsing Yi first glanced at the other party in confusion, and after seeing the other party clenching his fist with his hand, and making a drinking image at the lantern on the beam, her heart moved, but she understood the deep meaning.

"I see." Tsing Yi nodded with a cold expression, "But recently, when the orchid is rarely in the inn, if you can wait, please stay in the inn, and when the orchid comes, you can get what you want." ”

"Good, good!" The pedestrian nodded happily and said, "We can wait, as long as that thing is available." ”

"In that case, then please calm down." Seeing that he had already appeased the other party, Tsing Yi quietly pulled Hei Saburo's sleeve and took a step back, before he whispered, "We made a lot of cold drinks today, whether it is ice and snow licorice soup or snow bubble plum wine, if the guest officials want it, I will send it to you immediately." ”

"Snow bubble plum wine?" One of the old men with white eyebrows and long beard stroked his long beard and laughed, "The old man hasn't drunk a good plum blossom wine for a long time, since he has it, let's hurry up and get a pot!" ”

"Yes." Tsing Yi bowed his head slightly, and then pulled Hei Saburo and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

"What snow bubble plum wine?" Halfway through, Hei Saburo grabbed Tsing Yi's hand with his backhand and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I haven't heard anything about it." ”

"Shhhh Tsing Yi smiled and bowed his head and said, "Snow bubbles mean ice, didn't I make mung bean soup for you a while ago?" Put the mung bean soup in a soup bowl and put it in crushed ice to chill it, and it becomes snow bubble bean water, and snow bubble plum wine refers to chilled plum blossom wine. Those guys like these foolish things the most, the same plum blossom wine, a little chilled and changed to an elegant name, they will treat it as a peerless wine. ”

"I'm impatient to receive them." Hei Saburo puffed out his face and pinched Tsing Yi's hand and complained, "They are full of the smell of Jindan powder, you don't need to guess to know that they are Taoists, and I don't know what they are doing here." If it weren't for the people behind them, we would have thrown them out. ”

"I didn't know you had any scruples." Tsing Yi smiled and grabbed Hei Saburo's hand and reassured, "But you don't have to worry, they come every year, and when the orchid comes and gives them what they want, they will leave!" And they have a lot of fat on them, and if they are happy, maybe they will give us a good baby as soon as they loosen their hands! ”

Hei Saburo looked at Tsing Yi with a little surprise, and when he saw Tsing Yi's eyes shining and his expression was different from before, he became more and more suspicious.

"What do you want to make them happy?" Hei Saburo said dissatisfied, "If you want any good treasure, just sue me, and I'll get it for you when I get back-"

"Stupid." Tsing Yi glared at Hei Saburo angrily and said, "I don't know how much debt you owe, now we can catch as many things as we have, and when we have enough money for redemption, we will leave here together." ”

"Leave?" Hei Saburo suddenly paused and looked at Tsing Yi in shock.

"Hmm." Tsing Yi nodded slightly, and then said, "Since we have been together, although Hu Ji has never said anything serious, but as far as I know about her over the years, I am afraid that she will not give up." It's just that I don't know how she is going to deal with you, I didn't like it here, and now that I have the opportunity to leave, we will take the opportunity to go far away. Do you think it's good? ”

"Hmm......" Hei Saburo squeaked a few times with a different color on his face, as if he was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Tsing Yi's heart sank, she gritted her teeth, and then whispered very uneasily: "What? Can't we go? ”

"......" Hei Saburo saw that Tsing Yi was full of worry, and he felt that his heart was irrepressibly tightened, so he hooked the corners of his mouth and said very disapprerovitously, "Naturally, it's okay, if you don't want to stay here, I'll take you away and fly away." ”

Tsing Yi was overjoyed when she heard this, she grabbed Hei Saburo's hand and couldn't help laughing.

"So happy?" Hei Saburo smiled, he gently touched Tsing Yi's face, and he didn't tell Tsing Yi the truth after all.

Tsing Yi was too happy, and she didn't notice the flash of sorrow in Hei Saburo's eyes, and a long-suppressed matter in her heart was resolved, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go get snow at the Plum Blossom Bar." Tsing Yi happily pulled Hei Saburo forward, "By the way, let you taste the ice and snow licorice soup I just made, drinking it at this time is the best way to cool off." ”

Hei Saburo smiled, and only silently let Tsing Yi pull him away.

When he came to the kitchen door, he vaguely smelled a nasty smell, and when he entered the kitchen, he squinted and swept around, and at a glance, Xiuxiu was holding a large bowl and coming in through the back door.

"Sister Tsing Yi!" As soon as Xiuxiu saw Tsing Yi, she ran over excitedly with a big bowl and said, "Look, this is what the very beautiful and beautiful fox said he wanted to give you." ”

Orchid?

Tsing Yi looked down at the big bowl in a daze, only to see that the big bowl was full of crystal white broken ice, because of the hot weather, the ice and snow have melted a little, and a dozen or so chubby and cute dough dumplings are lying in the ice water so staggeredly, which makes people's index fingers move at a glance.

"Sister Tsing Yi, what is this?" Xiuxiu also looked down at the dumplings in the bowl, she sucked her saliva, and looked at Tsing Yi with anticipation, "It looks delicious, can you let Xiuxiu eat one too?" ”

"This is Ice and Snow Leng Yuanzi." Tsing Yi said in a trance, "This is made of soybeans and sugar, the best soybeans are fried and then shelled, and then finely ground into soybean flour, and then mixed with sugar or honey, and the water is formed into small balls of uniform size, and finally soaked in ice water to eat...... It's the only dim sum an orchid can make......"

As she spoke, Tsing Yi's expression changed in vain, and then she asked with a panicked face, "What about the orchids?" ”。
