Chapter 353: Ice Bowl
The days went by day by day, and this summer Pang Taishi and his party really reined in, and the people from the court to the market lived a very leisurely life, and it seemed that the bad people were also so hot that they were at home to escape the heat.
For Nie Shuyao, the summer of the Ming Dynasty was actually not hot at all. At this time, there is no greenhouse effect, as long as you wear a thin shirt, do not do strenuous exercise, and drink some mung bean soup.
But for some obese people, it is different from people who go out a lot, and at this time they want to plunge headlong into the snow. It would be nice if you could give them a piece of ice to nibble on.
In the middle of summer, the palace will use ice to reward those ministers who have worked hard, and the name is "ice". The ministers are glorified by this, and it is a gift from the Emperor.
Today, Nie Shuyao and Qinglian monks were chilling in the pavilion as before, and they didn't eat ice. Nie Shuyao knew that the ice was chiseled down and preserved in winter with ordinary river water, and no cleaning measures had been taken, so what was the difference between eating it directly in his mouth and drinking river water?
Even the cleanest river water has bacteria, so it is better to drink mung bean soup for the sake of your body.
However, Qinglian Jushi knew that eating ice was not good for women, and strictly forbade Nie Shuyao to eat ice, and she never ate it by example. Even the whole house doesn't eat it.
Not long after, Nie Tianxi came back from school, followed by an ice delivery man, but on a hot day, he was wearing an inappropriate little hat, which actually covered half of his face, and he needed to be helped from time to time......
Approaching the backyard, Nie Tianxi instructed, "You wait here first, and then I'll tell you where to put the ice." ”
When he came to the pavilion, he saluted the Qinglian monks, and then sat down in front of them and said, "Sister, godmother, King Xian has sent someone to send ice again." ”
Nie Shuyao sighed. No answer was given.
Qinglian layman's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "You go and sue him, we don't need ice here!" ”
Nie Tianxi was puzzled: "People have come with ice." ”
Nie Shuyao got up and said, "Godmother, leave it to me." ”
She came to the iceman with Nie Tianxi, looked left and right, and then took off his little hat at once.
"Alas!" The siblings sighed at the same time.
The iceman who sent the iceman, that is, the virtuous king Zhu Hong, raised his head and said, "Let me see her." ”
After Nie Shuyao promised him that day, he never fulfilled his promise. Hearing him say this, his face was a little unbearable. Persuaded: "Lord." Why are you so persistent? Godmother is no longer the she she used to be. Let her spend the rest of her life safely. ”
"Boom!" Zhu Hong threw the ice in his hand to the ground and said, "Is it safe to keep avoiding?" How can you bear it so much? ”
Nie Shuyao actually didn't care about seniority or anything, but the identity of Qinglian Monk must not be disclosed. said: "What was her identity before, presumably the prince knew very well." She's already died once. If you can, living in a new identity is also a new beginning, but I hope the prince can think more comprehensively. Go meet her, she's in the garden gazebo. ”
Saying that, Nie Tianxi drove out all the people who were still in the garden. Leave them plenty of personal space.
Nie Shuyao brought the ice to the kitchen and couldn't eat it. It's still okay to use this ice fruit.
After a long time, Zhu Hong left, and said with a smile before going back: "I won't send ice again." ”
Nie Shuyao didn't know what they said, maybe both sides had already let go.
And so it passed peacefully for two days. The real heat is finally here.
Some major restaurants have also launched cold drinks such as ice bowls, which are said to be very popular. Large restaurants like Desheng Lou have their own ice kilns. As early as last year, ice storage began to be chiseled.
On this day, she was dragged by Wu Yuting to Desheng Building. Xiangjun mainly feasted them over there.
Nie Shuyao shook her head for this, she understood the thoughts of the county lord of Xiang very well, and after Feng Wuya was fully healed, even Jiang Yi was called to the palace by King Xian more and more times.
I believe that King Xian understands it very well, and she doesn't worry about it anymore.
Pushing open an elegant private room, Lord Xiang was eating ice bowls, watching them hurriedly wave his hand, "You guys came just in time." He turned to the maid and said, "Let them serve two more ice bowls." ”
Nie Shuyao said: "I don't need it, I don't like this thing." ”
"No, this ice bowl is a must in the capital!"
Of course, Nie Shuyao knew about the ice bowl, but he also patiently listened to the foodie county lord talk about the making of the ice bowl.
The white lotus root slices, cored fresh lotus seeds, fresh water chestnuts, and fresh potatoes are mixed together, which is called "river fresh". Some people come to buy, that is, they wrap fresh lotus leaves into diamond-shaped bags. Put small pieces on the bottom of the small bowl, put "river fresh" on top, and sprinkle with sugar to make the ice bowl.
The full ice bowl also has to add peeled fresh walnuts, fresh almonds, melons, and peaches, which is icy and refreshing to eat, and can also fill your stomach.
Nie Shuyao was amazed that the cold drinks at this time were not inferior to modern times, and the world of foodies could be traced back so far.
After a while, the maid came back and said, "County Lord, today's ice bowls in Desheng Building have been booked." ”
Lord Xiang's face sank, "How is this?" The lord of this county can't invite a friend to eat an ice bowl. ”
Nie Shuyao looked at the furnishings in the house, and put an ice basin in the corner, which was not hot at all, so he persuaded: "County Lord, I really don't like to eat this thing." I have always felt that this ice is taken directly from the river, which is very dirty, not to mention its smooth and clean appearance, in fact, there are many diseases in it...... Stuff. Eating this may cause stomach upset, especially if there are unclean bugs. ”
Lord Xiang was taken aback, "How come?" Ice was given in the palace, and some insects had already frozen to death. ”
"This ......." Nie Shuyao couldn't answer, did she want her to say that there were still frost-loving bacteria? I'm afraid they don't even know what bacteria are.
Suddenly, Wu Yuting, who had not spoken, spoke, "I heard that there is an old shop that makes zuò ice bowls diagonally opposite Desheng Building, and the ice bowls there are also famous in the capital, called 'Yao Ji'." The old owner died a few years ago, and the store was handed over to his nephew, and I don't know if there are any new tricks this year. ”
"Then let's go and see. I've also heard of this 'Yao Ji', it is said that they sell ice bowls in the summer, and red bean cakes in other seasons. Saying that, the lord of Xiang looked at the maid beside him and said, "Take off your clothes!" ”
In this way, Nie Shuyao accompanied the wayward Xiangjun Lord out of Desheng Building, and was very careful not to be noticed.
At the same time, Song Yunfei, who was being entangled by Lu Yuqing, hurriedly ran to Desheng Building with two small servants, and met Nie Tianxi, who was accompanying the window to buy ice bowls, at the door of Yao Ji.
"Tianxi, help!" Song Yunfei, who had no face and no skin, shouted in the street.
Lu Yuqing, who was behind, relented when he saw so many people, and walked slowly towards Yao Ji as some ladies learned from them.
Nie Tianxi turned around, but saw Nie Shuyao and the three of them, so he ignored Song Yunfei and walked directly towards them.
At this moment, a big shirtless man entered Yao Ji's door with two equally rude men, and then heard the sound of pots and pans falling to the ground. (To be continued) R580
