Yang Yun stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, put it to his mouth and took a sip of ice water, and said, "There is naturally water in the teacup, what's so strange?" ”

Wang Ji said in surprise: "But the master, ...... of this Isn't it ice? ”

Yang Yun didn't mean to hide it, and pointed to the teapot: "You have to drink it and pour it yourself." ”

Wang Ji eagerly picked up the teapot, felt extremely cold, took a cupped teacup from the tea tray, and poured himself a glass of water, which was indeed full of crystalline ice cubes.

After taking a sip, Wang Ji was immediately intoxicated, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, fascinated.

"Master, you are really amazing, you can still drink ice water in summer, it's just ......"

Wang Ji suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yang Yun, dancing excitedly, "Master, what are you...... How did you get it? I see, it must have been made by you with a spell...... You are not a master, who is a master? ”

While complimenting, Wang Ji picked up the teapot again, poured a full cup for his cup, drank it all, and wanted to pour a third cup.

Yang Yun pressed the teapot and said with a straight face: "This is my use to cool off, you just drink two cups at once, why are you not greedy?" ”

Wang Ji said: "Master, your immortal method is clever, you can make it with a little move of your fingers, but it is different below, it is rare to taste this thing on a hot day, so naturally you have to drink enough...... Why are you so stingy? ”

Yang Yun wouldn't explain to Wang Ji how this ice came from, and thought: "It's a good thing to be misunderstood as using spells to make ice, it's better to have another explanation, so that this kid won't bother me in the future." ”

Yang Yun said: "You know that you have to use spells to make ice, but the mana of this immortal family can be consumed at will?" You are allowed another drink and couldn't have more......"

"Okay, okay."

When Wang Ji heard that he still had a share, he was not reluctant, so he immediately filled a glass for himself, took it and tasted it like a fine wine, and smashed his mouth while tasting it, and the intoxicated look on his face made Yang Yun unbearable to look at it directly.

Yang Yun waved his hand in disgust: "Hurry up and leave after drinking, I still have business to do here." ”

Wang Ji's face was ashamed: "The master really sees the outside, and he has always wanted to follow you to learn the immortal method, but he hasn't done it yet...... Fortunately, Lingshi is coming to Chengdu, and it seems that I need to plead with him, maybe he will agree to accept me on the entrance wall and say that it may not be ......."

Yang Yun frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This kid doesn't know each other, he was still shouting about apprenticeship before, and in the blink of an eye, he wants to be my junior brother and sit on an equal footing with me?" He immediately waved his hand: "Let's talk about it then." ”

……

……

Yang Yun brought home the saltpeter used to make ice and the modified utensils.

At this time, the steaming wine in the workshop next door was in full swing, saying that the three sisters did not have to work, but the four aunts were at a loss on the first day of work, and they were at a loss for what to do, and they needed to control the details, and they were very tired.

Fortunately, after half a day of running-in, everything stabilized, and the three sisters of An Lun were able to return to their yard to take a breath.

"Something nice for you...... Let's taste it......" Yang Yun took out the ready-made ice water and poured it into the pottery bowl.

The three sisters looked over and didn't understand what it was.

Yarou asked curiously, "Master, what is this?" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "You'll know if you try it." ”

Yaqing is young, and she doesn't know how polite she is, so she picked up the pottery bowl and drank it, poured it into her stomach and put the bowl down, only to realize that she was pouting: "It's so cold." ”

An Lun also picked it up and took two sips, and asked in surprise, "Master, is this ice?" ”

Yang Yun nodded: "It's ice...... But this ice is made in the workshop, and it's almost finished when we get home, so we'll make a little bit at home when we get back, and as long as we keep it warm properly, you'll have ice water to drink even on dog days. ”

"yes."

Yaqing was the happiest, raising his hands and cheering.

Yarou asked, "Master, it's so hot, how do you make ice?" ”

Yang Yun thought about it, it was too dangerous to let the three girls make ice by themselves, after all, there was a young girl like Yaqing who liked to be naughty and mischievous at home.

It seems that the process of making ice still needs to be kept secret from the three sisters, Yang Yun said: "I can't tell you the specific details, every morning before I go to work, I will make the ice, and by the way, make a good thing that can be put into our wine shop to sell." ”

"What's that?"

An Lun's big clear eyes began to shine again.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "A drink can dispel the summer heat, take advantage of the evening market, you go to the market to buy some black plum and sugar back...... Know where to buy it, right? ”

The three sisters glanced at each other, and they all nodded.

Yang Yun knew that the three sisters worked hard, and they would give them pocket money on weekdays, and they would use the money to buy good things to eat, and they had bought and tasted black plums and sugar.

At this time, it is the time when Ume enters the market, sweet and sour. As for sugar, it is not available in small places, but it is not uncommon in a metropolis like Chengdu.

Since the introduction of the sugar boiling method of Tianzhu into Middle-earth, the sugar making technology has been greatly improved in the past few decades, and the people can also eat relatively cheap sugar.

……

……

An Lun went out to buy raw materials, while the Ya sisters were in charge of helping Yang Yun prepare.

What Yang Yun wants to make is iced sour plum soup.

This thing is not a rare thing in later generations, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a royal drink for the court, and it was rarely seen by the people, and it never appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

"It needs to be boiled first, so you have to boil the water, buy the black plum and wash it after a while, put it in, boil it with sugar, boil it for half an hour, cool it and add ice cubes, this is the sour plum soup I want." Yang Yun said with a smile.

Yarou and Yaqing heard that there were good things to drink, and they were very active in their work.

In a short time, Anlun had already bought the black plum and the sugar back.

Seeing the black sucrose, Yang Yun suddenly thought of something, and ordered: "You go to the kitchen of the Immortal Building, ask for some lard back, and say that I am useful." ”

"Master, what do you want lard for? Stir-fry? An Lun asked.

Yang Yun flicked her forehead and said, "If you want to go, why do you ask so much?" It's about our fortune plan, do you want to go? ”

"Go, go."

As long as An Lun heard that she could make money, she could do whatever she wanted, and she was completely a fan of small money.

Yang Yun asked for lard to make rock sugar, although there was sucrose in this era, but there were many impurities, and even bitterness, which did not exist as a snack, but more as a food additive. However, if the sucrose is purified, you can get higher quality white sugar, and then make rock sugar, which can be eaten slowly in the mouth, which will become a good snack and will definitely have a large market.

But now Yang Yun does not plan to open up the rock sugar market, at most he makes it to satisfy the cravings of the three little loli at home, as for the iced sour plum soup, he is going to use it in the Immortal Building, which is another magical drink launched for the Immortal Building.

……

……

Sour plum soup is not difficult to make, and Shu itself is an important production area of black plum, and it happens to be summer again, and the materials are not scarce.

After the sour plum soup is boiled, it is about to cool, and the three sisters sit around the urn containing the sour plum soup, and they can't wait to taste it.

Yang Yun stopped: "You go to the workshop next door to see the progress of steaming wine first, and ask the workers to send the wine to the empty room in the front yard and store it in a centralized manner, and I will find a time to mix wine." ”

Yarou got up and went to the next yard.

After a while, An Lun raised his head restlessly and looked at Yang Yun: "Master, when can I drink?" ”

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Just boiled out, how can you drink it so hot?" Wait until it's cooled...... I'm going to make ice here, and it's only good if it's mixed with ice slag...... I'm going to make ice first, and you are not allowed to drink it. ”

"Hmm."

An Lun and Yaqing nodded, although they also wanted to taste it, but they obeyed Yang Yunyan, so they could only wait.

Yang Yun went into the house to make ice.

He had brightened the utensils, leaving the large wooden basin on the outside unchanged, and the inner layer on the iron basin that easily conducts temperature, and the wooden lid was wrapped in a thick layer of linen cloth to ensure a tight seal. Finally, the outer wooden basin was also insulated, and a layer of linen cloth was placed around it to make ice and store it for a long time.

Because he was just giving the three sisters a taste of sour plum soup, he didn't make too much ice, and it took him half an hour to make the ice, and the sour plum soup outside had become warm.

"Master, we use a pu fan, and it cools down quickly...... You can drink it now, right? An Lun asked impatiently.

Yang Yun touched the urn, felt that it was not hot, and nodded: "Pour it out, one bowl per person." ”

"Oh."

An Lun made a move and poured three bowls of sour plum soup, Yang Yun put ice cubes in it, and the three sisters' eyes were straight.

Yang Yun looked at it and waved his hand: "You can drink it." ”

"Okay."

The three sisters picked up their bowls, and when they had tasted them, their eyes lit up.

Yang Yun asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

An Lun was unceremonious, and directly drank the sour plum soup in the bowl, and then looked at Yang Yun with unfinished eyes, as if to say, can you still drink it?

Yarou drank very slowly, her eyes glanced at her sister from time to time, her sister would always keep good things for her sister, and when she saw that her sister didn't drink enough, she divided half of it.

"Master, it's so delicious, can you still drink it?" An Lun asked with a grin.

Yarou emphasized: "What's the hurry, Master hasn't drunk it yet!" ”

"Uh-huh."

An Lun came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly poured a full bowl for Yang Yun as if he were courteous, and when the urn was put down, he found that there was not much sour plum soup in it.

Seeing the three pairs of eyes, Yang Yun smiled, poured most of the bowl back, left only a little for himself, and drank it all to his mouth.

Although this black plum soup is delicious, it is not unusual for Yang Yun, he left this novel drink to the three sisters, and said: "The rest of you are average, make so much today, and then have an urn every day, not a lot to drink, girls drink too much ice water is not good for their health." ”

"Oh."

The three sisters hurriedly "divided the spoils" and divided the sour plum soup in the urn equally, knowing not much, they stopped pouring it violently, and began to taste it little by little.

……

……

Before dawn the next day, Yang Yun got up to mix wine and make sour plum soup, and An Lun and Yarou also got up to help.

After the sour plum soup was made, Yang Yun made ice again, and the three sisters had a refreshing sour plum soup to drink early in the morning.

When he went to the Shenxian Building to deliver wine in the morning, Yang Yun sent the sour plum soup by the way, and there were ice cubes at the same time, which was stored in a closed wooden box with several layers of thick linen cloth inside.

"Boss, ...... this?"

Song Qi was surprised by what Yang Yun had sent.

Yang Yun said: "This is ice, and sour plum soup, no matter what else, the guests who came today will give a cup to taste, and they will not be charged...... In the future, it will be sold for five cents a cup. ”

Song Qi was amazed: "You can still see ice in the summer...... It's a hell of a life, but it's rare...... Who buys a lamp for five cents? ”

"I didn't do much, they didn't want to buy it." Yang Yun said casually, "Things that are not available elsewhere, they don't come here to buy them, where do they come from?" I don't make much every day, but I will send two jars in the morning and two in the afternoon, just like our wine, and it will be finished when it is sold. ”

Song Qi nodded again and again: "Owner, our business is getting better day by day, and the guests who come now have no place to sit if they don't book a table in advance, but our wine is not enough...... If only I could sell more. ”

Yang Yun said: "In this world, things are rare and expensive, and more is not unusual, and you can't give up long-term plans just for the sake of immediate interests." ”
