Chapter 97

83_83499 lemon soda is very easy to make, Du Qiyue first asked the kitchen lady for a large jar of cold boiled water, estimated the weight and then asked the kitchen manager to borrow a small scale used to weigh condiments on weekdays, weighed some ground rock sugar and mouth alkali. Mouth soda is baking soda, which is a necessary thing for making soda, and steamed buns are steamed every day in the kitchen, so mouth alkali is always available.

After preparing these things, Du Qiyue used hot water to dissolve the rock sugar he had just weighed, then picked four or five good lemons from the bamboo basket, washed them, cut them and pressed out the juice and poured them in, stirring carefully and well. Then pour all these things into the cold boil that I just prepared, stir it briefly, and pour the mouth soda into it.

Soon the lemonade kept bubbling up, like a volcanic eruption, and the water in the entire kettle seemed to boil, and even some tiny droplets of water splashed out.

This startled Qiu'er and Qingge'er, who were standing on the side, and the two immediately took a few steps back, Qiu'er stared at Du Qiyue and asked, "Lang Jun, why is this water boiling all of a sudden?" ”

Du Qiyue was amused by the expressions of the two, laughed a few times and said: "This is a normal reaction, the water is not boiling, it is still cold, I don't believe you touch this kettle." This one is very fun, and it will bubble in your mouth when you eat it. ”

Qiu'er's face was full of surprise, and she stretched out a finger to touch the surface of the kettle in disbelief, and sure enough, the kettle was still cold. Qiu'er looked curiously at the lemonade that was still bubbling in the kettle, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing!" ”

"Okay, go wash a few more lemons and cut them into thin slices for me."

Du Qiyue smiled enough and found honey and some salty plum from the cupboard, and when the bubbles in the kettle were almost bubbling, he added some honey to it, and after stirring, it tasted good, so he poured the lemonade into the prepared cups, and then added a few small pieces of ice cubes and a plum to each cup.

Qiu'er quickly cut the lemon into slices and served it to Du Qiyue, who put a slice of lemon in each cup, and then took a cup with satisfaction and took a sip for herself.

The bubbles in your mouth feel familiar and intimate, and although it is a little less sensational than a real soda, it is really nice to be able to drink such a drink in such a place.

"Wow, that's refreshing, you guys can try it too." Du Qiyue pointed to the teacup on the table and said.

Qiu'er and Qingge'er glanced at each other, smiled and took a small sip of each cup, and then immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, my tongue is jumping!" Qiu'er funnily stuck out her tongue and looked at the cross-eyed, and after making sure that her tongue was fine, she immediately took another big sip, and then her whole face wrinkled with excitement.

Brother Qing is much more reserved than Qiu'er, and after being pleasantly surprised, he began to take small sips of the soda in the teacup, and was amused by the funny feeling in his mouth while drinking.

After drinking all the sodas, Brother Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This drink is so refreshing to drink, it is really suitable for summer, and the whole person seems to feel more comfortable after drinking." ”

"Yes, but you can't drink too much in a row, otherwise your teeth will be sore, and if you drink too much, you will keep burping, and your stomach will be like drinking a big bag of gas." Du Qiyue said.

After Brother Qing ate the plum in the cup, he invited the little girl to go back with the soda.

The relatives were eating the ice cream that had just been served, and when Princess Haoyu saw the little girls bringing things over, she asked, "What is this serving?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is lemonade. The palace rewarded some yellow fruits, and the lord sent some to the small kitchen, and Chef Du happened to see it, so he took some yellow fruits to make this soda. Qing Ge'er said.

"Soda? It's a strange name, but I can't eat Huangguoer, and I lose my teeth when I eat it. Princess Ronghe said, her whole brow furrowed, as if she thought of the feeling of being citrated by citric acid before.

"Princess, you are wrong. If you don't drink this soda, you'll regret it. Qing Ge'er personally brought two glasses of lemonade, one in front of Princess Yunyu and one in front of Princess Ronghe, and said: "And this soda is very interesting when it is made, Chef Du added a little bit of alkali to it, and the whole jar of water seemed to be boiling suddenly. ”

"Does this water really bubble on its own?" After hearing this, Princess Yu asked with great interest.

"Yes, Your Highness. There were a lot of bubbles, and now it's still bubbling in the quilt. Chef Du said yes, and it will bubble in your mouth when you drink it, which is very refreshing. ”

As soon as Qing Ge'er's words fell, the youngest son of Zhao Guogong's family, who was greedy before, picked up the cup and poured a big sip, and then his whole face wrinkled hard, with a painful face. Just when everyone thought that the soda was difficult to drink, the child swallowed the soda in his mouth and said loudly: "Mother, there is something in my mouth jumping, it's fun!" ”

When the other children heard this, they also took their cups and drank them, and after drinking, they all looked the same as the child, their faces wrinkled and ugly than when they drank the medicine, but their mouths said that it was delicious.

The adults weren't surprised, and they used to pick up their cups and drink them, and then they were all amused by the sensation in their mouths. This soda is not very delicious, but it is really refreshing after drinking it, especially the bubbling sensation in the mouth, which is simply very interesting.

Zhao Yiyun took a sip of soda, and waited for the unique irritation of carbonated drinks to disappear before swallowing it, thinking that when he went back, he must ask Du Qiyue to make him a little soda, Zhao Yiyun preferred this to overly cold ice cream. In the past, he was also able to eat meat and drink wine freely, but now the wine basically can't be drunk anymore, sometimes drinking tea always feels that the mouth is light, this soda is a good thing, although it lacks some artistic conception, but drinking it also makes people feel refreshed.

After the full moon banquet, what Ju Yuanqing did was found out, and he couldn't have imagined that Du Qiyue had a big backer behind him, so the things were not particularly secretive, and it didn't take much effort to find out. Prince Ronghe and the princess were angry to death, and punished Ju Yuanqing severely, but in the end, it hindered the face of the house, and only pushed a steward out, and found a reason in a roundabout way, saying that a distant relative of the steward was also participating in the kitchen competition, and the man felt that Du Qiyue was hindering his future, so he hated it, and the steward thought of such a plan to frame Du Qiyue in order to avenge his relatives. The palace gave Du Qiyue the birth deed of the chief steward, saying that it was up to Du Qiyue to punish him.

Of course Du Qiyue won't believe this kind of reason, but it's not bad to let the palace lose a big steward, the somewhat hot deed of sale Du Qiyue didn't take it, and still gave it back to Brother Qing who came to talk back to him, so that they could be punished according to the rules in the palace.

"Du Langjun, this deed of sale, you better continue, we won't want that steward in our house." Brother Qing took the birth deed and said with some embarrassment.

"What do I do with it, I can't afford to hire the chief steward of your house, I'm afraid that a month's worth of silver is more than my month's spending. It's not good for me to send him to the government, and I can't use the punishment privately, so can I tear up this deed of sale and let him go for nothing? Since this can't be done, then it won't be possible, the best way is to give it back to you, and I believe that the government will not let go of people who have done wrong current affairs, right? Du Qiyue said as she packed her things.

"This ......."

"Okay, Qing Shilang, you can take this thing back, hurry up and settle the salary to our Lang Jun, it's good to let us go home early." Qiu'er said that he really didn't like this Ronghe Prince's Mansion.

Qing Ge'er thought about it, then took the deed of sale into his arms, stuffed the purse with the reward to Qiu'er, and said, "The salary is in it, you have to collect it." ”

Qiu'er took the purse and touched it, and when she felt that there was a folded paper inside, she smiled and squinted and put the purse in her pocket.

When I went back, the palace specially sent a carriage to Du Qiyue and them, and as soon as I got in the car, Qiu'er gave Du Qiyue the purse, Du Qiyue immediately took it out and looked at it, there was a silver ticket of five thousand taels in it, Du Qiyue smashed his mouth, and whispered to Qiu'er: "It seems that the princess's face is really useful." ”

Qiu'er was also taken aback, in his opinion, even if Du Qiyue liked Princess Haoyu, Prince Ronghe's Mansion would not give Du Qiyue so much silver, this is five thousand taels of silver, even if it is a mansion and a courtyard, it is not a small amount.

Du Qiyue felt that this little bit of silver was missing, was his dignity worth five thousand taels? Besides, all the things that those people gave to the little prince of the palace today were exchanged for silver, I don't know how many five thousand taels there are, so I gave him five thousand taels, which is too easy to send away. However, Du Qiyue is not in a hurry, looking at the attitude of Princess Ronghe towards Princess Yunyu today, when he becomes Princess Yunyu's godson, this Ronghe Prince's Mansion will definitely make up for him.

However, with this money, Du Qiyue had a lot more money in his hands, and he took a few dozen taels of silver to rent a quiet small courtyard and officially began to prepare for the imperial examination. As for the other money, it was naturally given to Zhao Yiyun for safekeeping when he went to Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion to deliver snacks, which made Zhao Yiyun cry and laugh, Du Qiyue really regarded him as a housekeeper.

Before the imperial examination, Du Qiyue quietly went to worship the Qi family under the leadership of Princess Haoyu. Du Qiyue has been in awe of ghosts and gods since he crossed over, so he was actually quite apprehensive when he stood in the purpose, after all, he was not the real Du Qiyue. However, since he occupies Du Qiyue's body, he will do his duty well, go to the grave of the Qi family to continue the offspring, and be filial to Princess Yunyu
