Since this is the first time Yang Huairen has done it, it is largely experimental, he took a bite and tasted it, and felt that the texture of the popsicle was there, but in terms of taste, it was somewhat almost something.

However, this is not much of a problem, and the preparation of juices may need more experiments to find the most suitable taste.

The most important thing is that he randomly came up with this process of making popsicles under the conditions of the time, which is basically a success.

On this basis, it is necessary to consider how to build a complete set of equipment and appliances to mass-produce popsicles.

If the idea succeeds, then this summer, every hotel chain in Tokyo will be able to set up such a device to promote his Suiyuan popsicles to the market.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji also took one each, and took a bite and tasted it like Yang Huairen. Different from Yang Huairen's tasting point of view, in their taste, such popsicles are already delicious.

Zhao Ji was young, he ate very happily, "What did you say this thing was called just now?" It tastes really good, it's cold, and it can just cool down and relieve the heat in summer. It would be great if you could eat it every day! ”

"It's called 'Suiyuan Popsicle'!" Yang Huairen replied with a smile.

Zhao Hao ate it and began to nod, feeling that as Zhao Ji said, popsicles were indeed a good thing, but he seemed to think of something.

"Brother Ren'er, this popsicle, why do I remember the ice drink in the city when I eat it?"

Yang Huairen also nodded, "You're right. It's just that the popsicle I made is similar to the ice drink, but it's different. ”

Ice drink is a kind of summer summer food that began to prevail among the people in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The name "drink", which has existed since the Qin Dynasty, was originally a general term for various non-alcoholic beverages, which can be tea, fruit juice, or a mixture of different drinks mixed together.

Even the medicinal decoction, to some extent, is also a drink. Most of the time it is called a hot drink, in contrast, a cold drink in summer is called an ice drink.

In Tokyo, there are a number of shops specializing in ice drinks, and although there are great seasonal restrictions on doing this business, some old ice drink shops still make a lot of profits, and the net income of a summer is even higher than the income of an ordinary hotel in the whole year.

At that time, the more famous types of ice drinks were mainly divided into two categories, one was to cool the boiled hot drink, and then add the prepared ice cubes to make it, commonly known as "ice and snow" or "ice cold water";

On the other hand, the drink is made by placing it in an icy environment to freeze or condense into a refreshing paste.

Refined to the sub-category of ice drinks, there are too many to mention, such as sugar ice and snow cold yuanzi in the "ice and snow" category, mung bean licorice ice and snow, fine powder vegetarian skewer ice and snow cold yuanzi, crystal soap raw flooded papaya ice and snow;

In the "paste" category, plum paste, persimmon paste, white lotus root sugarcane paste, medicinal papaya paste, cold water lychee paste and so on.

These iced drinks weren't really very well made, but they were loved by people in the hot summer months when there were no air-conditioning fans.

In fact, the ancients discovered this method of ice making a long time ago, but the ancients did not understand the scientific truth, and regarded this method of ice making as a strange technique, or only as a trick.

This method has also remained in the small circle of a few warlocks and alchemists, and is rarely used by the people. It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty, or the five dynasties before the Northern Song Dynasty, that it was used by people with a heart to make food and use it for trading.

Most of the more famous old ice drink shops in the city should know this method, they strictly abide by the rules of the industry, and they do not leak this method, so their business is doing well.

And the common people have no way to get ice cubes in the summer.

However, since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties have also had the tradition of supplying ice to the court, nobles and officials in the summer, called "awarding ice", which is the earliest record in the "Book of Songs" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to the establishment of ice cellars by the government, which was collected from nearby rivers and lakes in winter for summer use, due to the developed commerce of the Northern Song Dynasty and the accumulation of wealth, there were many "Fudi Ice Wells" established by dignitaries and wealthy people in their homes.

There are also "commercial ice cellars" for commercial purposes, which are ice cellars set up by merchants for profit.

The ice cellars of the government were used by the court and the government, and were the largest; Commercial ice cellars are the second, generally built along rivers or lakes, and sell ice to people and merchants for profit in summer; The Fudi Ice Cellar is for domestic use, and is small in scale, sometimes just a deep well for storing ice.

However, except for the government's ice cellars, which control the quality of the collected ice relatively strictly, commercial and private ice cellars are not very strict when collecting and storing ice.

Ice drinks made from frozen ice cubes in wild rivers and lakes are prone to diarrhea and other adverse consequences after eating.

The popsicle invented by Yang Huairen has obvious advantages compared to ice drinks.

First of all, there is the advantage of the production method, similar production methods, most of the ice drink shops in the city are made into cold drinks, and the form of popsicles is unique.

Secondly, in terms of taste control, Yang Huairen can completely ignore the traditional issues, and he can make popsicles have more flavors according to his experience and culinary advantages.

Finally, there is the sales advantage and the price advantage.

In this year, Suiyuan can be said to be famous, not only in the city of Tokyo, all the scholars who come to the capital, as well as businessmen, enter the capital, always have to go to Suiyuan to try those new dishes, otherwise it feels as if they have never been to the capital.

The thirteen restaurants that have formed a chain alliance with the Suiyuan agreement will also be famous restaurants in the Great Song Dynasty, and this momentum is not comparable to those single-family ice drink shops.

In terms of the final price, Yang Huairen is no longer bad for money, and he originally didn't plan to make money by selling popsicles to accumulate wealth, so he can completely compress the profit margin and make the price of popsicles more affordable, as long as he leaves some profit margins for those chain restaurants.

The scorching heat is coming, and when the whole process of making popsicles is mature, the craftsmen who work on the construction site against the scorching heat can enjoy such summer benefits, and the people in the city can also eat cheap but high-quality popsicles to cool down and relieve the heat.

Yang Huairen was happy when he thought about it.
