"Bought it...?"

Seeing his father and second brother coming back, Li Zhan and Li Qi walked out happily together.

Seeing his eldest son, Li Dafu immediately smiled and said: "I ran to three Taoist temples, and finally met an alchemist, this guy was reluctant, I left 500 Wen and the second child and ran away with a bag."

The old man was so angry that he screamed in the back, but in the end, he let us go. ”

"That's right... Son, do you see if this is what you want? With that, Li Dafu opened the bag, and Li Zhan picked up a crystal block and looked at it and smiled: "That's right... That's it, Daddy... Wait a minute, you and Katsuko will have to work hard, knock this crystal into powder for me, and then I will perform a miracle for you. ”

"Miracle...?" Li Dafu, Li Sheng, and Li Qi all showed puzzled expressions.

It's summer... What is the best, the answer is that in addition to air conditioning, that is ice, a mouthful of Coke and ice, that is the enjoyment of life, in ancient summer, although there was no refrigerator, but there were also ice cubes.

As early as the pre-Qin era, the ancients used natural ice to refrigerate, keep food fresh and make cold drinks.

At that time, there were special "civil servants" to manage the "Bing Zheng", and the person in charge was called "Lingren".

Generally from December every year, they start to dig in places with good water quality, and hide them in pre-prepared ice cellars for the next year.

As a result of this storage, about two-thirds of the ice will melt by the next summer, so the amount of ice stored is often three times the amount of ice needed.

I have to say that the ancients really fought hard in order to eat ice.

It is precisely because of such a cumbersome process and high cost that eating ice in ancient times was a treatment that only princes and nobles could enjoy.

It is no exaggeration to say that in ancient times, ice in summer was a luxury more valuable than gold, so the princes at that time would also give ice as a reward to their courtiers.

There is such a record in "Xia Xiaozheng", "Divide the ice to give the doctor". In other words, the official position has to be a doctor (equivalent to the current minister) or above, so that he can have the opportunity to lick a bite of ice... So, it was a great honor to eat a piece of ice in ancient times.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, giving ice cubes to officials was an important benefit!

So if you can drink a bowl of cold soup in the summer of the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be more stylish than Lafite in '82.

Li Zhan found saltpeter, it was very simple, it was to make ice, what to do to make ice... Hey... Li Zhan's business is this, he wants to make popsicles, this is the memory of the post-80s, when I was a child, a seller of popsicles, a wooden box on the bicycle, the box is a quilt, and there are popsicles in the quilt, one cent, two cents is better, and five cents is the best.

Li Zhan also wants to learn this, if he can start this business, Li Zhan believes that it will be difficult for him not to send it.

"Zhan'er, it's polished... Hurry up and perform miracles for us. ”

Li Dafu, Li Sheng and Li Qi took a bag of ground saltpeter powder and handed it to Li Zhan.

Li Zhan looked at it and laughed... This is this thing, Li Zhan has seen it in the pharmacy before.

"Li Sheng... You go and fetch a bucket of water from a wooden barrel, and I'm going to make a way to make this stone powder have immortal power. ”

It's just that after Li Zhan finished speaking, Li Dafu said with some ridicule: "Son... Can you not brag? ”

"You don't believe me?" Li Zhan snorted and said, "I'll make you believe it." After speaking, he entered his room without looking back, but Li Zhan didn't go to ask for any immortal power, Li Zhan wanted to fool his father and younger brothers and sisters.

Li Sheng quickly fetched a bucket of water, because there was a well in Li's house, which was very convenient.

Seeing that the water was coming, Li Zhan looked at it in the window, and then grunted a few words, and then walked out of the room. Let's see what is the fairy power you ask for stone powder? ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhan shouted loudly: "Come... Come... Come... The gods from all over the world are coming, and I, Li Zhan, order you to borrow my divine power, wow, yes... Turning water into ice! ”

"Turning water into ice?" Li Dafu looked at his son's clumsy performance with some disdain and said, "What the hell... The spells are not right, which spell has wow yaa! ”

However, what made Li Dafu's contemptuous eyes more and more confusing was that Li Dafu actually watched his eldest son, after sprinkling a lot of stone powder into the wooden barrel, stirring and stirring in the wooden barrel with his hands.

The more it stirred, the more weird it became, the more terrifying it became, and finally, I heard my second son and youngest daughter shout excitedly: "Ice... Ice... It's really ice, the eldest brother is a fairy, and the eldest brother will turn water into ice. ”

"Wowhaha... Daddy, now you know how good I am, watch my water into ice. Li Zhan pulled his arm out of the bucket violently, and then saw the water in the barrel, which quickly froze, and slowly turned into a bucket of ice, and the ice cubes were still bubbling cold.

"I'm a baby...!" Li Dafu's eyes were about to pop out at this time, looking at the ice cubes in the barrel, and then looking at his eldest son in front of him, Li Dafu suddenly felt a glimmer of divine light on his eldest son.

"Big brother is a god, big brother is a god...!" Li Qian hugged Li Zhan and shouted excitedly.

Li Sheng also looked at his eldest brother with adoring eyes and said excitedly: "Big brother... It's really a fairy. ”

"Daddy... How's my water into ice? Li Zhan smiled and looked at his father, who was already dumbfounded.

"You... You... You... Is it really a fairy? Finally, Li Dafu also had to say this, there is no way, turning water into ice is what he saw with his own eyes, and there is no science in this era.

Some only have theology, otherwise Taoism and Buddhism would not be so prosperous, after all, even the current emperor, that is, Li Shimin, is very yearning for immortals, not to mention the people.

Li Dafu, a common person, saw such a magical scene, to be honest, although he wanted to believe it very much, he couldn't believe it.

"Huh...!" Li Zhan didn't want to tease his dad anymore, he was worried that he would scare his dad stupidly, so Li Zhan said hehehe: "Dad, I'm not a god, in fact, this is a very ordinary physical phenomenon, you, Shengzi, and Yu'er can do it."

Just use your ground powder and sprinkle it into the water, and you can directly turn the water into ice. ”

"How is this possible?" Li Dafu looked up at Li Zhan in surprise.

Li Zhan handed the remaining saltpeter powder in his hand to Li Dafu and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

Ten minutes later.

Li Dafu let out a shocked voice: "It's done, it's done... The water in my bucket froze too, oh my god, it's amazing, son... You, you... How do you know about this kind of thing? ”

Li Zhan turned around and looked at the frightened Li Dafu lightly and said: "I said a long time ago, I have learned a lot of things in the immortal world, although I don't have mana, but I have something that you can't see in your life, that is, immortal science." ”

Finally, Li Dafu looked at his eldest son excitedly with a sigh and said, "Son... I believe you, you're really coming back from the fairy world, oh my God... Son... Then you are the pride of the sky. ”
