Chapter Forty-Seven: The Test Is That Simple!
"This time the topic is ......"
Li Shimin looked at the little eunuch in front of him, frowned and asked curiously.
The little eunuch didn't hide anything, and replied directly in front of everyone without thinking.
"This time, the princess wants to drink the chilled wine!"
“……”
"Oh?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the civil and military officials on the side and laughed.
"I'm a little Changle, isn't this embarrassing?"
"There is really no ice left in the palace, and the chilled grape wine, hehe, I want to drink it too!"
"Hehe......"
"yes!"
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although Changsun Chong is out of play, but the question of this test is taken out, it means that these people who have successfully passed the second test have no play, otherwise the test will not be impossible to complete.
"Where did the ice come from in this big autumn, Princess Changle is afraid that she already knows this move in her heart."
"Hmm."
Kong Yingda stroked his beard and nodded.
"If you want to talk about poetry and arithmetic, Cheng Chumo is a kid!"
"But you're going to say it's a test......"
Kong Yingda said firmly.
"Then everyone must be out of play!"
“……”
Cheng Yanjin was no longer in high spirits as before, and looked at Cheng Chumo, who was probably giving up eating and drinking in the distance, and fell silent.
Li Shimin already has doubts about Cheng Chumo.
After all, they were all losers before!
But suddenly he became a grandmaster in many fields overnight, who can believe this?
Now it seems that marrying Li Lizhi is the best ending.
But this test ......
Cheng Yanjin frowned, and there was no hope at all in his heart.
"Hey......"
Sighing, Cheng Yanjin and a few old brothers beside him ate and drank, looking forward to this little cub earning some gas and having a better development after today!
"Your Majesty......"
Suddenly, while the crowd was talking and laughing.
The little eunuch standing on the side shouted timidly at Li Shimin.
"Huh?"
"Anything else?"
Li Shimin glanced at the little eunuch.
"Yes."
The little eunuch nodded.
"When I left from Grandpa Cheng just now, Grandpa Cheng asked someone to go to the porcelain shop to buy saltpeter, and he looked confident, as if he could really get this ice."
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Saltpeter?"
"Isn't saltpeter blended with malachite green glaze?"
"What's the use of this kid asking for this?"
"Minions don't know ......"
The little eunuch shook his head, he didn't understand anything, he was confused.
Waving his hand at the little eunuch, Li Shimin frowned and looked at the ministers around him and asked suspiciously.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"What do you think this saltpeter is for, and what does it have to do with that ice cube?"
……
Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that a stick of incense was about to burn out, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but stand up and look at the door.
"What are you doing?"
Cheng Chu silently tugged the latter.
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Time is almost gone, why are you still eating and drinking?"
"What's the hurry?"
Cheng Chumo spit out the chicken bones in his mouth.
"What should come will come, look at ......"
Cheng Chumo pointed to the little eunuch who had just turned the door.
"Isn't this man coming?"
The little eunuch ran all the way, wearing thick palace clothes, wiping his head full of sweat, and finally ran to Cheng Chumo's side, and handed over a black cloth bag in his hand to the latter.
"Little ...... Little grandfather. ”
"I bought you the saltpeter you wanted!"
"Good!"
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, he reached out and took the black bag handed over by the little eunuch, patted the latter's shoulder and said softly.
"Good work."
"It's over in a while, find me to claim the reward!"
"Hey!"
The little eunuch glanced at Cheng Chumo movingly, and stood aside obediently and watched.
"Alright."
Cheng Chu silently weighed the enough saltpeter in his hand, took a jade bowl and four small wine glasses on the table to his side, and then filled the big bowl with the water he had just asked for with Xiaoyu, and then put the four small cups into the water in the bowl.
Fill the small cup with water as well.
"Whoa!"
Under the puzzled looks of everyone, Cheng Chumo calmly and calmly pulled open the rope of the black cloth bag in his hand, stretched out his hand that had been dried in advance, and carefully took out the powdered saltpeter from the bag.
Sprinkle evenly along the edge of the bowl into a small bowl.
Then he sprinkled saltpeter into the bowl three or four times, and when he knew that there was a burst of dark cold air in the bowl, Cheng Chumo stopped.
Everyone was stunned, holding their breath and looking at the four wine glasses in the small bowl, waiting quietly.
The little fish and the little eunuch standing beside them stretched their necks and looked at the small bowl motionlessly.
"Crunch ......"
A slight cracking sound rang out in the bowl.
Cheng Chumo gently shook the small bowl at the right time, and the water in the small bowl gradually condensed into cold ice crystals when everyone could see it.
"This ......"
"There's ice!"
"The ice is out!"
“……”
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was waiting to see the joke, was stunned for a moment, then struggled to stand up, and looked curiously at the small bowl on the table through the gap in the crowd.
"Crunch ......"
The crunch of the backlog of ice came one after another.
After a few breaths, the water in the bowl had basically condensed, and the water in the four small wine glasses had solidified into hard ice.
"Bang dang!"
Cheng Chumo's eyes were quick, and he quickly took out the four small wine glasses from the small bowl.
Finding a clean silver plate, Cheng Chumo took the tail of the small wine glass, and 'clanged' on the silver plate one by one, knocking out the ice cubes that had condensed into the shape of a wine glass!
"Little fish!"
“……”
There was no sound response.
Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head helplessly, only to see Xiao Yu looking at the ice cubes on the silver plate in a daze.
"Little fish!"
"What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and get me a pot of fine wine!"
"Whew!"
Only then did the little fish react, and quickly trotted to bring the precious bottle of grape wine that the princess had given her from the table beside her.
Cheng Chumo lifted the lid of the silver bottle and threw four ice cubes into it.
Then close the lid and shake it gently.
"Bang dang, bang dang ......"
The sound of ice cubes hitting the walls of the bottle is clearly audible.
"Hehe......"
Cheng Chumo smiled slightly and handed the silver bottle back to Xiaoyu.
"Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and go to the princess with this bottle of cold grape wine, you should be just right on the road!"
"Yes......"
Xiao Yu was stunned and took the plate containing the silver bottle, and walked quickly towards the palace where Li Lizhi was.
All the way through the court.
Until the silver bottle containing grape wine was placed in front of Li Lizhi, Xiaoyu was still confused.
And at this time......
is also as Cheng Chumo said.
Li Lizhi opened her mouth wide and looked at the silver bottle in front of her, and the wall of the bottle was ......
A fine chill has just oozed out!
