Chapter 643: Ice Cream
Ang Lee also had such a scene in his memory, he would be pushed down the garbage pit by his naughty classmates, climb up, and then push his classmates down, and so on and so on.
Fortunately, when Li An was mixed in the garbage pit, he was eight or nine years old, and the three-foot-high garbage pit couldn't stump him at all, and he didn't have the conditions to trap himself at all, but every time he played, his clothes would be dirty, and he would inevitably be beaten and scolded after he went back.
Looking at the little bear child in front of him, trapped in the dirty garbage pit, crying anxiously, Li An walked over and stretched out his hand to pull the little bear child out.
The little bear child didn't know who Li An was, but after playing near the school for so many days, he had seen Li An many times, so he naturally didn't have much vigilance in his heart, and he was stunned for a moment, and then held Li An's big hand.
Li An gently pulled the bear child out of the pit, but the palms of his hands were dirty, and there was a smell of dirt and rotten food.
Many of the bear children in the school will bring snacks, and the most snacks should be all kinds of tropical fruits, which are always the cheapest and most common in the local area rich in natural resources.
Many bear children will bring fruit to the school, sometimes they don't want to eat half of it, and after throwing it away, it will be transported to the garbage pit, after a long period of fermentation, the garbage pit will inevitably have the smell of rotten fruit, and when the bear child is rummaging through the garbage, it is inevitable that his hands will touch the rotten fruit, and then, it will be stained on Ang Lee's hands.
This familiar taste once again evoked the memories of Ang Lee's childhood in his previous life, Ang Lee clearly remembered that in his childhood, he appeared in the garbage heap more than once, in order to naturally rummage through things that were useful to him, and every time he would have a lot of gains.
However, what Ang Lee is looking for is not a broken pen and paper, but a long flat piece of wood, which is the cheapest popsicle stick, in the summer heat, many children will spend money to buy popsicles to eat, after eating the popsicles, they will throw away the popsicle sticks in their hands, and these popsicle sticks will eventually flow to the garbage pit, and Ang Lee only needs to stay in the garbage pit, he can find the maximum number of popsicle sticks in the shortest possible time, so as to achieve his goal of making small toys.
However, rummaging for popsicle sticks can also be risky, and Ang Lee remembers several times when his fingers were cut by broken glass and sometimes by branches because he was so impatient.
The purpose of Ang Lee's collection of a large number of popsicle sticks is to make small fans or small cages, which can be woven directly, and to make small cages, you also need glue or nails.
These are the memories of Ang Lee's childhood in his previous life, and they are still very nostalgic in retrospect, and they also give people a very sweet feeling.
Li Ang remembers that when he was young, because the family conditions were okay, every summer, he would always spend money to buy popsicles to eat, and once he saw a little Lori from a poor family looking at himself eating greedy, so he gave one to her, and as a result, there was a peachy news on the small campus, and there was a little turmoil, although I felt very embarrassed at the time, but now I think about it is very exciting.
The unpleasant smell on his fingers was unbearable for Li An, so he quickly went to the school to wash it up, and by the way, he went around the school for a week to see how the schoolchildren were learning.
Learning should start with children, this is a summary of the life of wise people, what is said is not bad at all, these children's ability to learn language is indeed very good, Li Ang has heard a lot of Datang's words.
After class, more than 300 children, most of them ran to the toilet, after all, children of this age can't hold their urine, a class can be regarded as the limit, they can't hold it at all.
There are also some children who go to drink water next to the water pipe, and do not forget to wash their faces after drinking water, after all, the temperature in this area is still relatively high, and it will maintain a relatively high temperature all year round.
Watching these bear children wash their faces with cold water, Ang Lee suddenly thought of the popsicle he recalled when he saved the bear children just now.
After coming to Datang, Ang Lee had already invented summer ice-making, but it may not have been promoted overseas, so no one has seen anyone eating popsicles locally.
And if there is no artifact like a popsicle, how guilty the children should be in this hot weather!
Therefore, Li An immediately made a decision, that is, to immediately make ice cubes and produce a small amount of ice products, as a welfare in the afternoon of the school, not only can the master eat some cold products, if the schoolchildren perform well, they can also eat some, in addition, if they produce more, they can also be sold inside and outside the campus, who likes to eat, take money to buy it.
It is very easy to make ice cubes, and Ang Lee would have made them a long time ago, but the colorless and tasteless ice cubes are not attractive to these bear children, and the ice cubes must be made delicious to satisfy the bear children.
The easiest way is to dissolve white sugar in the water, and after making it into ice cubes, the ice cubes will have a sweet taste, which children love to eat.
Of course, just adding white sugar is the lowest cold product, and you can also add the juice of the fruit, so that the ice cubes will have the taste of fruit, and it is also cool, if you add some dairy products, the taste will be more refreshing.
Li Ang suddenly thought that his subordinates were making a large number of black tea drinks according to their own wishes, and if there was ice cubes, they would be able to make more attractive iced tea.
The taste of iced tea, Li Ang has a deep memory, in later generations, he didn't drink less of this kind of thing, I remember several blind dates, I drank this kind of iced tea with excellent taste, and even because I drank it too much, I forgot about the blind date, and the final result was naturally blown.
The invention of iced black tea is said to have come from an accident, in a hot summer, tea merchants were promoting their own black tea, but because the weather was too hot, the tea merchants themselves were a little unable to drink their own tea, so the sales volume naturally could not go up.
When he was discouraged, a piece of ice accidentally fell into the brewed black tea, and it was a pity to pour it out, and it was a clean ice cube, and the tea merchant was really thirsty, so he drank it directly.
After drinking, the tea merchant felt that his whole body was comfortable, and his heart had a unique feeling of coolness, so he had an idea to change the black tea to iced black tea with ice cubes, and soon sold out all the products.
This joke may be nonsense, but it is enough to show the popularity of iced tea, as long as it is invented, it will soon be sought after, of course, the number of local rich people is not much, if you focus on the local area, you will definitely not make much money, but black tea can be transported to all parts of the world, and ice cubes can also be made by themselves, so, iced tea will inevitably sell well.
Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the populations of Chang'an and Luoyang are so large, as long as black tea is introduced to Chang'an City, mixed with ice cubes produced in Chang'an City, perfect iced black tea is produced.
Of course, according to the different tastes of customers, you can also add a variety of auxiliary materials to the iced tea to make the iced tea more delicious.
After thinking of the idea, he did what he said, and after he went back, Li An asked people to start making ice cubes, in order to meet the possible war, there was a large amount of saltpeter on the Datang transport ship, so the materials for making ice cubes were sufficient, and it was completely possible to achieve the need to make a large number of ice cubes in a short time.
The price of local fruits is very low, the white sugar transported from Datang can also be easily bought, and dairy products are not difficult to obtain, with these materials, it is easy to make delicious cold products, and black tea will be made in a short time, when the time comes, Li An will be able to drink a sip of iced black tea comfortably.
Activities such as making ice cubes and buying fruit and sugar naturally have to be handed over to his subordinates to complete, and Ang Lee doesn't need to ask in person, he just needs to wait.
"Ah Lang, the ice cream is ready, do you want to taste it?"
Yun'er still remembered the ice cream she ate when she was in Chang'an City, and she had already remembered how ice cream was made, and after casually recalling it for a while, she made the ice cream.
"Oh, and so much fruit, and milk? It's definitely very tasty. ”
Ang Lee took the ice cream in Yun'er's hand, sniffed it gently, the taste was very sweet, and he scooped a little with a spoon and put it in his mouth, and his mouth was full of enjoyment.
"It's so delicious, Yun'er, you take someone to make more, and send it to the school later, give it to the masters to taste, of course, there are some children who are doing well, you can also taste this delicacy."
Li An opened his mouth to ask.
Li Ang has already seen the role of these delicacies of braised pork, after the children were punished, they almost didn't dare to violate discipline anymore, and less than ten children were punished every day, which can be described as an obvious effect.
But the problem of discipline is solved, and there is a more important problem to be solved, that is, learning, if all children are just doing things in the school, then it is really a waste of money to train them, since the money is spent on cultivating children, it is necessary to let children learn the cultural knowledge they should learn.
This time, Ang Lee is going to reward students with better academic performance with ice cream, while students with lower academic performance have no share, and later, he can sell it to them, if their family has money.
"Ah Lang, for the master and the schoolchildren, is there no mine?"
Yuna pouted.
Li An said angrily: "Are you stupid, you made it yourself, do you want to eat as much as you want, will Ah Lang be reluctant." ”
"Hee-hee, Xie Alang."
Yuna happily replied and turned to make ice cream.
Li An asked, it will take two days for the black tea to be made, and it seems that the iced black tea will have to wait two days to drink, but now that you can eat ice cream immediately, it still feels good.
Fifty servings of delicious fruit sweetened ice cream were quickly made, and Yuna happily ran to tell Ang Lee.
"What about the wooden boxes and quilts? Hurry up and get it. ”
After Ang Lee asked Yun'er to make ice cream, he asked his subordinates to bring boxes and clean quilts, from where he lived, there was still a distance from the school, and now that the weather was so hot, if the ice cream was directly exposed to the air, it was estimated that it would turn into water before it reached the school, and then it would lose the cold and delicious taste that ice cream should have.
"Ah Lang, why do you put ice cream in the quilt, it's already hot enough this day, so I'm not afraid to cover the ice cream."
Yuna said suspiciously.
Li An glanced at it with disdain and said, "Put it in a wooden box full of quilts, so that the ice cream won't melt?" If you put it in your hand, it will melt quickly, and you will know it later, come and carry the box away and go to the school. ”
Because it was not too far, Ang Lee led everyone to the academy on foot, and soon entered the academy.
The masters had just finished class, and when they saw Li An coming in person, they hurriedly came out to greet them, in fact, Li An has been there recently, so they would not deliberately put down their work to greet them, but when they saw Li An as soon as they got out of class, they naturally wanted to greet them.
"Masters have worked hard, this official is here to treat you, there are delicious things in this box, let's go, let's go to the office."
Ang Lee walked to the office in the back row.
"Li Shilang can attach so much importance to the academy, what a blessing for us!"
The Master opened his mouth and sighed.
Li An said with a smile: "Education is the foundation of the country, it is a century-old plan, and this official should attach importance to education. ”
The subordinates opened the wooden box, revealing fifty servings of ice cream inside, which had largely not melted due to good conservation work, and looked very appetizing.
"One for each of the masters, and the rest for the best children."
Li An said.
More than a dozen masters thanked them again and again, and took one by one, hesitating at first, but after waiting for a while, they began to eat.
"Ah Lang, these ice creams really haven't melted at all! The quilt really works so much! ”
Yuna said in surprise.
"That's natural, the quilt has the effect of heat preservation, hot things are placed in it, it is still hot after a long time, cold things are placed in it, and it will be cold after a long time, do you understand, little fool."
Ang Lee laughed and quipped, completely ignoring the masters in the office.
Yun'er nodded as if she understood, and took a tasting as well, anyway, Ang Li wouldn't blame her.
After taking a few bites, the master immediately felt very comfortable, and repeatedly said that it was delicious, and repeatedly thanked Ang Lee for his gift.
"After teaching for so many days, there should be the best students in every class! The best students in each class were found and rewarded with ice cream. ”
Li An gave orders to the masters.
"Yes, Li Shilang."
Halfway through eating, the masters hurriedly walked to their respective classrooms and brought in the best and hardest working children.
Li An looked at these schoolchildren, nodded with satisfaction, and personally handed out these ice creams to them one by one, let them eat a bite first, and then waved his hand to let them return to the classroom to continue eating.
