The Five Kingdoms were destroyed, and the Western Cangguo trembled.

Today's Chu State is already stronger than the Xicang State, and the Xicang State can no longer be compared with the Chu State.

Especially after the Emperor of the Western Cangguo Kingdom was killed by Qin Ming for the elixir of the Emperor of the Chu State, civil strife broke out in the Western Cangguo.

Now that it's okay, facing the great enemy of Chu State again, it really gives Xicang Kingdom a headache.

In the face of the attack of the Chu State, the various forces in the country are not unanimous, resulting in the inability to unite against the Chu State.

Therefore, the Chu State attacked the Xicang State, basically, there was no suspense, and it became a sure thing that it would lose.

In addition, the leader of the Chu State was Xue Rengui, a fierce general, who led hundreds of thousands of troops, carried bombs, and blew up the city gate along the way, breaking the city was like a joke.

Basically, the road is like a bamboo, and you can capture a city almost every day.

The army, at a rapid speed, headed towards the imperial capital of the Xicang Kingdom, and once the imperial capital was occupied, the Xicang Kingdom was basically declared annihilated!

This battle, in the scorching summer, is carried out without hurry or slow.

And the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but fortunately, Qin Ming's palace is very large, and it is cooler inside.

However, it does not satisfy Qin Ming.

He began to search for the knowledge in his head and came up with the idea of how to make ice.

Of course, he had only heard that saltpeter when put in water can absorb heat and refrigerate and freeze the water.

Saltpeter Qin Ming is one of the materials for making bombs, so he directly asked people to get some saltpeter that had been ground into powder.

He experimented with it first, pouring saltpeter powder into a basin of water. After stirring it, sure enough, after a while, a cold air rose on the surface of the water, and slowly ice slag appeared, and, over time, gradually became ice cubes.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ming was overjoyed, but how could he eat this ice mixed with saltpeter powder?

At most, it is to cool down, and it is cool to touch.

So Qin Ming thought of a way to make clean ice.

So, a large basin of water was fetched, and a smaller basin was placed in the water, and water was also put on it.

In this way, pour saltpeter powder into the large basin to make the water in the large basin into ice, and with the help of the low temperature of the large basin, the water in the small basin will also be made into ice.

In fact, the principle is very simple, that is, saltpeter dissolves in water, which will absorb a lot of heat and cool the water to freezing.

This technology was available in the ancient Song Dynasty in China.

Now that it is being used by Qin Ming, in this scorching summer, it must be an artifact to relieve the heat.

Moreover, if this technology is in the hands of a trustworthy person, ice can be produced in large quantities for sale.

Isn't it even a great way to make money by adding a variety of flavors to the water to make popsicles?

Thinking of this, Qin Ming was also very excited.

So, from the kitchen of the system, I took out a large bowl of sugar, put it in the small basin that was about to freeze, stirred and stirred, and soon, the small basin froze.

When the ice was solid, Qin Ming took it out, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and said to the eunuch outside:

"Call the little princess, Luo Ziyi, Ye Xiaowu, and the second princess!"

The eunuch outside left, and Qin Ming sat on a chair, smiled and picked up a small piece of ice and put it in his mouth.

Well, it's sweet, it's icy, and it smells like na.

It's like going back to the feeling of eating and licking popsicles when I was a kid.

Add some fruit juice to it, and it will probably taste even better.

Not long after, the little princess and the others came, and they couldn't understand what Qin Ming was looking for them.

Qin Ming asked them all to sit down, and then asked the maid to carry a large plate of popsicles for them to eat.

When the girls saw the ice, they were instantly stunned.

"This ...... Ice? Brother Qin Ming, do you actually have ice? Where did it come from? How can there be ice on such a hot day? The little princess was shocked.

Luo Ziyi also said: "The Nine Heavens of our Holy Land, because they are very high, so the highest Eight Heavens and Nine Heavens, the temperature is also very low in summer, and you can store some ice in the ice cellar every winter.

In the summer, the elder hall masters and a small number of disciples can use it occasionally, but the number is very small, and on this kind of hot day, it basically melts, so, Qin Ming, your ice, it can't be an ice cellar, right? ”

Qin Ming smiled: "That's naturally impossible, this ice is made by myself!" ”

"Gah?"

Ye Xiaowu looked strange: "Bing, can you still do it?" Qin Ming, do you think you are really an immortal? ”

"This is called knowledge, what gods are not immortals? Uneducated! Qin Ming rolled his eyes.

"Don't be stunned, eat, cool off, and delicious." Qin Ming spoke.

So the women took one after another and put it in their mouths.

Luo Ziyi, as a person who can occasionally eat ice when she first arrives every summer, naturally doesn't think it is unusual to eat ice this summer, so she said:

"It's not just ice, how delicious it can be, at most it's a heat relief ......"

As she spoke, she smacked her lips, the ice melted a little in her mouth, and the sweet taste of ice instantly spread in her mouth, so:

"Hmm...... It's delicious...... It's so sweet, Qin Ming, how did you do this? Actually sweet ice? ”

The other girls were also stunned, the second princess, who had been relatively indifferent to Qin Ming since she was imprisoned in the palace, was also surprised at this moment, and ate several pieces of ice one after another.

Qin Ming smiled and said: "The method is very simple, but this is a secret, it cannot be revealed, you want to eat it, there will be more in the future, all kinds of flavors will come out." Such as apple, grape, pineapple, strawberry, ......"

The women Qin Ming said couldn't help drooling one by one.

Soon, a plate of ice was eaten by everyone, and they begged Qin Ming to get some more.

So, in public, Qin Ming filled a large basin with water, poured saltpeter powder, put a basin filled with water on the water, took out the sugar and poured it into the water, and asked people to take some milk and pour it into the water.

Then he stirred it with his hands, and the water in the big basin gradually froze while stirring.

"Huh? Brother Qin Ming, you still say that you don't know spells? ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, several women looked at Qin Ming strangely, obviously, the scene of turning the water into ice when his hand stirred in the water made everyone feel that there was no explanation except for spells.

Chen Xiao was speechless and couldn't explain.

At this time, the ice in the small basin was also ready, and everyone continued to eat.

……

The next day, several large blocks of ice were placed in various parts of the main hall.

This is processed ice with saltpeter water, which cannot be eaten and is used to beat the heat.

In the middle of the main hall, there were dozens of plates with many sweet popsicles, which were for the ministers to eat.

These ministers, just like the little princess yesterday, were stunned when they saw the ice, or so much ice.

After eating it, it was so delicious, and I was even more shocked.

Hearing that this is His Majesty stirring and stirring in the water, it will turn into ice, everyone knelt down the mountain and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really a god and a man......"

"It's good to follow Your Majesty and eat ice in the summer......"

"Yes, it's hot to death in other places, and there is His Majesty's ice in this hall, so cool."

"Master Li, why do you take two popsicles at once......"

"The official has a big mouth, and he can eat two ......"

In this way, everyone is eating popsicles while going to court early, and half a day has passed, and they are still unwilling to retreat:

"Your Majesty, let's discuss something else, it's okay to leave the court so early!"

"That's it, Your Majesty, if there's anything else, you might as well settle it together......"

Qin Ming couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Ministers, are you planning to sleep in the main hall at night?" ”

One minister asked, "Is it possible?" It's cool here......"
