Chapter Twenty-Five: Lovesickness and Silence
"Drink it...!"
Li Zhan brought a bowl of mung bean soup, helped Li Chengqian up, and then handed the mung bean soup to Li Chengqian's mouth.
"Thank you... Eldest brother...! A happy smile appeared on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth.
After Li Chengqian took a sip, he looked at Li Zhan with a surprised expression and said, "It's ice...!" ”
Li Zhan smiled: "Of course it's ice... Our family is an ice maker, and we can use as much ice as we want... Come... Drink more, this mung bean soup, you have to drink it again when you go back... Because it has a certain detoxifying function. ”
"Hmm... Big brother told me to drink more, I must drink more...! Li Chengqian smiled.
Li Zhan also nodded, and then Li Chengqian drank all the bowls of mung bean soup, and it was about the time of the afternoon, although Li Chengqian's body was still a little weak, but he was able to support his body and leave the Li family.
Riding on the horse, Li Chengqian has been turning back frequently, revealing a reluctant expression.
Li Zhan smiled and waved to Li Chengqian, and he didn't know if this was the last time he saw Li Chengqian, this was the prince of the Tang Dynasty... It wasn't until they couldn't see each other that Li Zhan and Li Chengqian turned back.
It's really rare to have such emotions on just one side.
.........................
Li Chengqian sneaked out to play this time, and no one knew about the snake venom, but Li Chengqian deeply remembered the life-saving grace this time.
Time is like an hourglass... Keep moving forward.
The seventh month of the ninth year of Zhenguan has arrived, and the temperature is now high again... During the day, the surface temperature should have reached more than 40 degrees, and the stones can be fried for a while.
Just yesterday, the ice sold by the Li family once again set a new record, and the Li family earned 200 yuan in one day... It's still pure profit, to be honest, if you want to talk about trading without capital at this time, in addition to robbing the house, the Li family's ice industry is the most profitable.
Of course, making money will be remembered.
Some time ago, something happened to the Li family ice industry, what happened... There is a group of splashes in Chang'an, and there is a person in this group who is smarter, and he doesn't know where he knows that the Li family's popsicles sell well.
He made a trick, he sent someone to buy all the Li family's popsicles, and then pulled them to Chang'an City to sell, one sold for five cents, and earned almost 1,000 yuan in a day.
At first, Li Zhan didn't know, but later, the splash found the Li family, brought nearly a hundred people, surrounded the Li family tightly, and directly asked for Li Zhan's ice-making technology, just give it, if you don't give it, you will directly burn the Li family.
At that time, it was already tense, and it was almost about to fight directly, but fortunately, at this time, Li Dafu brought a person back, who was none other than our Zhonglang General Cheng Chumo.
Three hundred cavalry... A charge, directly killing more than a hundred splashes of waw wow screams.
Later, the entire Chang'an City knew that the Li family's ice industry had the shadow of the Cheng family, and because of this, those outside who coveted the Li family's ice-making technology had no idea, Li Zhan personally invited the Cheng family to join the shares, but the Cheng family said that the ice is only one season, and the Cheng family will not start, but they will still help the Li family.
It means that they can't look down on the income of ice, these benefits may be very high for the splash, but for the Cheng family, the Guogong Mansion, their Cheng family thinks it is nothing.
After all, ice only has three to five months of operation, how much can you make with one penny, in fact, this is the price that Li Zhan deliberately sells at the bottom, in order to make people feel that it is inconspicuous.
In fact, if the ice industry is really built, the profits are absolutely huge.
The Cheng family did not buy shares, but Li Zhan befriended Cheng Chumo, although Cheng Chumo was a little cautious, but as long as you really associate with him, he would still stick a knife in his friend's ribs.
Later, when Li Zhan and Cheng Chumo got acquainted with each other, Cheng Chumo would bring his soldiers to Li's house to eat ice as long as the training was over, and the relationship between the two became better and better.
"Brother Zhan... Here we go... I want sundaes...! ”
Dust and smoke billowed and three hundred black cavalry killed... During this time, because of these three hundred cavalry, almost no thieves on the Li family's side dared to come.
Cheng Chumo's voice is the loudest, and before the person arrives, this voice has arrived, don't look at Cheng Chumo's five big and three thick and swarthy, but Cheng Chumo's favorite food is the sundae developed by Li Zhan himself.
A large pot of crushed ice with honey, milk, syrup and fruit.
Although the fruits of Datang are not as abundant as modern ones, there are actually many varieties, such as: plum, bayberry, pear, persimmon, date, orange, loquat, melon, lychee, cherry, star fruit.
Among them, the most high-end fruit is lychee, which can be regarded as a top luxury, because the place where it grows is in the south, it is too far away from the north, and this fruit is not easy to preserve and eat, so it is a symbol of identity and status to be able to eat lychee in the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Chumo can eat a full pot in one breath... Of course, this pot is not cheap, it costs 100 wen if you don't add fruit, and if you add seasonal fruits, it costs 300 wen... If you have lychees in it, you should be consistent.
"It's so cool...!" After eating a pot of fruit sundaes, Cheng Chumo leaned against Li Zhan's table and let out a long breath: "Brother Zhan, you will still enjoy it, a piece of ice in your room allows you to easily escape the heat." ”
"Brother Cheng... I've always delivered ice to your house, as if your room didn't have it. Li Zhan sat opposite Cheng Chumo and smiled slightly.
"That's different...!" Cheng Chu waved his hand silently and said, "I just like to stay in your room, I always feel a literati atmosphere." ”
"Poof..." Li Zhan couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Cheng, you are a Zhonglang general, why do you want to be literati again?" ”
A sigh... Cheng Chumo fiddled with Li Zhan's paper a little sullenly and said, "Brother Zhan... You know what it's like to like someone? ”
"Ahh Li Zhan was caught off guard by Cheng Chumo's sudden sentence.
"No... Brother Cheng is lovesick? Li Zhan smiled: "I really don't know what kind of strange woman Brother Cheng will be if he can fall in love with him." ”
"Don't guess...!" Cheng Chumo sighed and said, "It's the little girl of Yunxiang Pavilion's singer Yan... Brother Zhan, you don't know, just one side, just the only side, after I went home, my mind was full of her appearance, closed my eyes, and opened my eyes. ”
"Uh... Brother Cheng, congratulations, you must be in love...! Li Zhan smiled.
But here Cheng Chumo said with a dark face: "Brother Zhan, I'm so afraid, I'm afraid that the other party will dislike me, you must know that Yan Xiaoxiao is the most popular girl in Yunxiang Pavilion, how many talented people in Chang'an City are staring at, and in a few days, Yan Xiaoxiao will hold a talent meeting."
is to compose poetry, as long as the poem written by Yan Xiaoxiao is recognized by Yan Xiaoxiao, then Yan Xiaoxiao will invite that talented man into her boudoir and perform a green waist in person. ”
After speaking, Cheng Chumo showed an expression of wanting to cry, and kept looking at Li Zhan bitterly.
