Chapter 209: Producing Ice
After the Xu family went out, Shen Lan was left in the house, Shen Lan walked to the door again and closed the door, turned around and sat on the bed, she sold fruit wine last year, and now Shiweixuan's business is very cold because of the heat and other reasons, Shen Lan thought about it when she made ice today, fruit wine will only taste better if it is chilled, and her own space island has a large number of fruit trees, although some places have been reclaimed to grow food, but most of the fruit trees are still there, so Shen Lan wants to make some fruit wine.
Because she was worried that the day she had a child was not right, Shen Lan hadn't entered the space for a long time, and she usually ordered anything to her palm, so today was no exception, anyway, she could control whatever she wanted with her mind, so as long as the people inside prepared things, she could take them at any time.
When Shen Lan finished this, there was a knock on the door and Xu's voice outside: "Madam, dinner is ready, is it time to eat?" ”
Shen Lan got off the bed to the ground, walked to the door and opened the door and said, "Let's eat, just eat in the yard, you let Sister-in-law Wu put the food in the yard." ”
"Yes." Xu Shi responded and walked out, Shen Lan also followed out of the house, at this time it was not completely dark, Xiangling was riding a wooden horse with a stone in the yard, the wooden horse was made by Shen Lan, and it was usually placed in the yard or in the house for small stones to play.
"Xiangling, take the stone to wash your hands and start eating." Shen Lan opened a pair of small openings playing in the yard, and Xiangling, who had been helping to shake the wooden horse, immediately bent down to hold the stones, and the stones were playing well. I didn't want to come down at all, so I shouted: "Don't, you have to play." ”
"Young master, be good, let's eat and play again." Xiangling hurriedly reassured, the stone didn't give her face, struggled to get off the ground, and shouted: "No, no, I want to play the Trojan horse." ”
"Song Zhaoyan. Hurry up and wash my hands. If you don't obey, I'm going to beat you. Seeing that her son refused to wash her hands and eat, Shen Lan immediately raised her face and threatened, although Shen Lan never wronged stones in eating and drinking on weekdays. But in terms of rules, Shen Lan never pretended. And because she is busy on weekdays. There is very little time to make out with her son, so Shi is still a little afraid of her, and he sees her face. didn't dare to make any more trouble, obediently nestled in Xiangling's arms, and didn't say a word.
Seeing that his young master was finally quiet, Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately hugged the stone to wash his hands, and the Xu family also brought water to Shen Lan to wash his hands, and the Wu family also brought all the food to the stone table in the courtyard, and according to Shen Lan's request, he fried a few pickles for rice, and mixed a sugar persimmon, a small pot of mung bean porridge and a plate of eggs.
It stands to reason that there are no tomatoes in this era, but there are tomatoes in Shen Lan's space, so in the spring, Shen Lan asked Feng to open a small vegetable garden behind his house, and planted some edible vegetables there, mainly because picking vegetables is convenient and fresh, and it is not wasteful, anyway, the land around his house has been bought by Shen Lan, and it is nothing to grow some vegetables and fruits to eat at home, so this sugar tomato is picked from the vegetable garden.
After washing her hands, Shen Lan sat on the stone bench, and served herself a bowl of mung bean porridge, and also gave a bowl of stone to herself.
Shen Lan put the porridge bowl in front of the stone, put a wooden spoon in the bowl, and Xiangling on the side took the egg and smashed it on the stone table, and began to peel it off.
After Xiangling peeled the eggs, she peeled off the egg whites and put them into small pieces and put them in the bowl of the stone, the egg yolk is generally not very popular with children, even the stone is the same, but although Shen Lan spoils the stone, she does not allow him to be picky eaters, so she usually lets him eat it, but the egg yolk tastes worse when she puts it in the porridge, so Xiangling breaks it into small pieces and feeds it into the mouth of the stone, so that even if the stone doesn't like it, she will slowly eat the egg yolk with a bitter face.
Xiangling fed him a mouthful of egg yolk, the little brow frowned, but he didn't dare to spit out the food in his mouth, Shen Lan on the side saw that he was eating hard, so he grabbed a tomato with chopsticks and handed it to his mouth, although the stone can drink porridge with a spoon to eat, but it is still difficult to pick up vegetables, usually Shen Lan or the people around Shen Lan are fed, the red and glamorous tomato is a delicious thing in the memory of the stone, so he did not hesitate to open his mouth and take a bite, sure enough, sweet and sour is delicious.
Just a mouthful of eggs and tomatoes, finally fed the egg yolk, so I forgot to make trouble with my mother, I obediently and skillfully lay on the table to drink porridge, from time to time Xiangling on the side helped to pick up some vegetables to feed, soon the mother and son finished dinner, the stone sat back on his Trojan horse and played, Shen Lan let Xu and Xiangling go down to eat, and he played with the stone.
Early the next morning, Shen Changhai went to buy things according to Shen Lan's instructions, the cylinder was ready-made, but the iron basin was not, but the copper basin was ready-made, Shen Changhai knew that his master was in a hurry, so he took the initiative to buy the copper basin, so that the things were also alive, and the person who sold the cylinder helped send the cylinder over, and as for the copper basin, Shen Changhai took it back himself.
It took a lot of time to buy things, and it was already half a morning when the people sent the tank to the door, Xu Shi took someone to clean the tank, Shen Lan didn't mainly use the water tank now, so there was no need to care, just let the copper basin be treated, not only cleaned inside and out, but also wiped it with vinegar, and then washed it again, so that the tools were also alive, and Shen Lan took Shen Changhai to prepare to make ice in the yard.
Xu knew that Shen Lan was going to make ice in the yard, so he quickly drove everyone in the family out, and he also took Xiangling out for a walk with the stones, and suddenly Shen Lan and Shen Changhai were left in the house, in fact, Shen Lan felt that there was no need for this, but Xu didn't think so, this ice-making method is a secret method, how can it be easily learned?
Knowing the loyalty of the Xu family, Shen Lan didn't say anything, and besides, she still had to rely on this ice-making method to make money, if it really spread. I'm afraid that I won't be able to make money, so Xu Shi did this to solve her doubts, as for Shen Changhai, he even knows his biggest secret, and there is nothing hidden in this ice-making method, and he bought the materials yesterday, and he also checked the scene after making ice yesterday, and he wants to know a lot.
After all the clearances were completed, Shen Lan instructed Shen Changhai to pour some water into the tank, while she herself stood beside her with a wooden bucket containing saltpeter in her hand. Shen Changhai carried a wooden bucket and filled the tank with water. When the water almost flooded the water tank, Shen Lan hurriedly shouted: "Stop, add water later, I'll scoop two scoops of saltpeter into it first." ”
Shen Changhai naturally stopped. Shen Lan was busy looking at adding saltpeter to the tank. The water in the tank quickly froze. After Shen Lan saw that the ice was solid, she said to Shen Changhai again: "Go and bring one of the copper basins." ”
After receiving the order, Shen Changhai turned around and went to get the basin. Shen Lan motioned for him to place the basin on the ice, and then said, "Fill the basin with cold boiled water, and then pour water into the tank, and the water in the tank cannot exceed the basin." ”
Shen Changhai nodded, first poured the cold boiled water in another bucket into the copper basin, and then lifted the bucket again and carefully poured the water into the water tank, Shen Lan stared at the water in the tank tightly, and when the water level reached the level she thought in her heart, she hurriedly said: "Okay, that's all, don't add it." ”
Immediately Shen Changhai stopped adding water, Shen Lan added saltpeter to the tank from the new, and gradually the water in the tank condensed into ice, so that at the same time, the water in the copper basin gradually formed transparent broken ice, and as time passed, the water in the water tank formed a thick layer of ice, although the water in the copper basin was not so fast, but it gradually took shape.
This is the first time Shen Changhai has seen Shen Lan making ice with his own eyes, and he has indescribable admiration in his heart, worthy of being his master, Shen Lan, who is concentrating on ice making on the side, has no time to see this, and then he went to make another pot of ice, and soon these ice were made, there were five large water tanks in the yard, and all the water tanks were filled with ice, Shen Lan was very satisfied with this result.
At the same time, Shen Lan wanted to take out the fruit wine in the space, but under her mental probing, the expression on her face froze, and Shen Changhai, who was busy taking ice, did not notice anything unusual, Shen Lan took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Changhai, you send all the ice basins to Shiweixuan, and let Shopkeeper Xu make some hawthorn rock sugar water and give it to the people who come to eat, and the ice should be wrapped in a quilt so as not to melt." Shen Lan smiled and opened her mouth to command, Shen Changhai nodded, and replied, "Master, I know." ”
"Okay, you're busy, I'm a little tired, go back to the house and lie down for a while." Shen Lan spoke in a normal tone, Shen Changhai didn't reply, and did his job honestly, over there Shen Lan quickly stepped into his room, closed the doors and windows and immediately used his mental power to investigate the space.
The people in Shen Lan's space are no longer the people Shen Lan bought at the beginning, the time in the space flows quickly, those who were the first to be born are long gone, and now the people in the space can be said to be the descendants of those people, and they can be regarded as the aborigines of the island, Shen Lan's management of the space is limited after all, so it is normal for rebellion to happen, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, if she hadn't explored the island with her mental power in advance, she was afraid that she would be killed as soon as she stepped into the island.
The island is hers, but now it has been occupied, and even wants to kill her master, thinking about it, I feel that people's hearts are very terrible, so at the same time, Shen Lan is also vigilant about Shen Changhai and others, she was still too gullible in the past, and the situation on the island this time made her recognize the situation, so she didn't show a trace of flaws in Shen Changhai just now, and now the island can't go back, she is not stabilizing the hearts of these subordinates, but I'm afraid that what is waiting for her will not be a good thing.
Sitting alone in the house and thinking about it for a long time, if she wanted to kill the people on the island, it was not impossible, but even if those people wanted to kill her, but after all, she was discovered by herself, she didn't have the slightest loss, let her kill one or two hundred people, but she couldn't do it, so she had to think of another way to get these people out, find a wilderness and throw them out, no matter what, at least she gave them a chance to survive, although she drove them out of their hometown where they lived since childhood.
Having made up her mind, Shen Lan also felt a lot more at ease, and the Xu family and others outside the house had also returned, knowing that Shen Lan had gone back to the house to rest, and no one bothered Shen Lan, but she was still very entangled in the five tanks of ice in the yard, and the others only felt strange, but Xu knew that these ice were worth a lot of money, and they didn't dig the ice cellar at the beginning, and they were afraid that the ice would be wasted in the yard.
Thinking of seeing that Shen Changhai had not wrapped up those ice basins before, Xu Shi hurriedly ordered someone to take the quilt out, cover the tank first, and get a lot of straw to wrap the periphery of the tank, thinking that in this way, the ice would dissolve more slowly, and when Shen Changhai came back, he would ask him how to come out.
The matter of freezing in summer is very strange to the people in the yard, one by one curious and awe-struck at the jar in the yard, and from time to time cast a few peeping eyes in the direction of the main house, secretly guessing in his heart whether his wife is an immortal, so there is no great ability, for a while everyone is respectful and afraid of Shen Lan, although in the past it was taken by the majesty of the master, but now it is completely different.
Soon the Xu family found out that they were tired, and immediately gathered everyone together to lecture, no matter what abilities Shen Lan has, these are not things that can be humane to outsiders, and those who are in a better situation will feel that Shen Lan is a fairy descending to earth, and the bad ones are only afraid that they will be burned to death as a demon girl, so Xu has to admonish these people, let them not go out and talk nonsense, and it is best to keep silent about Shen Lan's ability to make up ice.
Of course, Shen Lan herself didn't know these things, at this time she was still immersed in the blow of her space island being invaded, and was thinking about what to do with those rebels, the space island was snatched by someone It can be said that Shen Lan was hit very hard, if it weren't for her upright outlook, she was afraid that she would have killed the people on the island a long time ago, after all, it was not difficult for her to throw people into the sea, there were a lot of great white sharks living under the cliff, and there was no need for Shen Lan to do anything, and she could destroy those rebels humanely, But Shen Lan is not a murderous and vicious person after all, so she naturally refuses to do such a thing.
So in her thoughts, she just wants to release those people from the space, and then take back her own island, naturally in order not to reveal her identity, this thing must be done secretly, it seems that she has to find a time to go out of the house, she doesn't want to casually leave people near her home, and it will be bad to cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes. (To be continued......)
