Chapter Ninety-Eight: The 'Ice Cream' Porter
"Tell me, what's it?" Rewarded? made Gu Cheng's eyes light up.
The key is the word 'heavy', and Beidi mobilized the whole province to find it, which shows that this thing is very important to him, and it is urgently needed. If he finds it one step ahead of others, will Beidi still treat him badly?
"Uncle is looking for an ore, white crystals, the color is like frost." The maid before told everything she knew, "I heard that this thing is usually at the foot of a cold wall. ”
"White crystals, at the foot of the cryogenic wall?" Gu Cheng muttered, suddenly jumped up excitedly, turned around and ran towards the mansion gate.
When the two maids saw their uncle's cousin, they suddenly ran away like an evil spirit, looked at the quiet garden, and the two looked at each other and ran towards a crowded place.
Gu Cheng walked out of the door and ran in the direction of his home, muttering, "Isn't that thing wall frost?" It seems that this time it is going to be sent, and good luck can't stop it. ”
Gu Cheng ran home, rushed into the room, rummaged through the clay pot under the wooden bed, took out a small black jar, reached out and took out a silver ingot of five taels and one ingot, let out a strange laugh of "hehe", felt that it was not enough and took out another ingot, and then hid the black jar again.
With ten taels of silver in his arms, he went out of the courtyard and locked the door, went to the carriage and horse shop, hired a carriage, and went to the direction of Xia Demen in the south.
......
No wonder when he hurriedly broke in, Gu Bei saw that he was sweating profusely, and it turned out that he had specially returned to Gujia Village for him to look for wall frost, that is, saltpeter.
Hearing that there was this kind of saltpeter in Gujia Village, Gu Bei summoned Xiao Ran and ordered: "Old Xiao, you quickly send someone to Gujia Village to find this kind of thing, the more the better!" After speaking, he handed the saltpeter in his hand to Xiao Ran as a reference sample.
Before Gu Cheng could stop it, Xiao Ran took the saltpeter and strode out.
Because he was happy to find saltpeter, he didn't notice Gu Cheng's desire to speak again, Gu Bei patted Gu Cheng's shoulder vigorously and said, "Cousin, you are really my lucky star!" ”
It's really right to say that Gu Cheng is his lucky star, Gu Cheng got Gu Youqian's account book before, and the lady told him afterwards that this Gu Youqian was actually a figure in the White Flower Sect, smuggled a lot of pig iron for the White Flower Sect, and uprooted all the dens where the White Flower Sect was planted in Jiangning County.
This time, he found saltpeter for Gu Bei and solved the trouble of using ice in the house, isn't this his lucky star?
Gu Cheng saw that Xiao Ran had gone down, and there was nothing to do, so he had to take back what he wanted to say, squeeze out a smiling face, and show his loyalty: "That's what Brother Bei is looking for, and Brother Bei must definitely take it as a top priority." "By the way, give me a sycophant.
Gu Bei was very useful, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, my cousin will follow my brother in the future, and if my brother has a bite to eat, I will never let my brother go hungry." ”
"Then please take care of Brother Bei in the future! Hehe......" Gu Cheng said in a crepe as the scholars learned, and finally did not forget to let out a burst of laughter.
"Cousin, how many frost walls are there? Where is it? ”
"It's at the door of the house, it's packed in a box, and my brother spent a lot of effort to get it."
Gu Bei's eyes lit up, and he found two subordinates and asked them to move the box directly to the courtyard.
Gu Cheng rushed back all the way, and after talking so much, his throat was already smoking, and he poured a few cups of boiled water while he had the time, and then drank the little boiled water left in the teapot, and he was still a little unsatisfied.
Gu Cheng took the empty teapot and was about to let someone fill it with water for him, Gu Bei stopped him, and asked Qing'er to go to the wine cellar to bring a ceramic jar, Gu Bei found two large bowls, opened the seal of the jar, and poured the viscous amber liquor into the bowl, and a faint sweet fragrance spread in the air.
It's actually the best wine from the Western Regions!
Gu Cheng watched the wine's throat start to squirm, when had he ever seen such a good wine.
If it weren't for Gu Cheng to find saltpeter for him this time, Gu Bei would not be willing to take it out, which shows the preciousness of this wine.
Unexpectedly, Brother Bei actually made a special trip to take out such a precious wine, which really flattered Gu Cheng. Regardless of whether it is because Gu Bei is his cousin and the two are relatives, at least Gu Bei's status can still be so close, which is a very happy thing.
"Sure enough, the expensive wine is different, I don't know how many times better than the wine in the market tavern."
It's the first time for Gu Cheng to drink such a good wine, no matter what the taste is, he picks up a good compliment.
Gu Bei took a sip, the taste was okay, there was no very serious tannin astringency like fruit wine, nor that rancid taste, it was sweet and mellow, quite good.
This Western Regions grape is extremely expensive in the market.
It's reasonable, not to mention the quality of the wine, just this transportation along the Silk Road Desert Gobi Mountains and rivers, even if you don't count the loss on the road, this freight is a sky-high price!
It is estimated that the weather is too hot, and the wine is slightly warm, which affects the taste.
At this time, two subordinates carried a box into the courtyard, and Gu Bei asked them to bring a large water tank.
Looking at Gu Cheng, who was dazed, Gu Bei didn't say much.
After the two of them lifted a water tank and filled it with water, Gu Bei opened the box and found a few large pieces of saltpeter, and threw them into the big water tank.
Gu Cheng blinked, not knowing what his cousin wanted to do.
And then the next moment, he almost popped his eyes out!
I saw that after adding saltpeter, the water in the tank began to react violently, and the water splashed as if it was boiling a pot.
Gu Bei asked Qing'er to find a copper basin for drawing water, and put the copper basin with the remaining water into the water tank, and the copper basin floated on the water.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of Gu Cheng and Qing'er, white ice patterns began to appear on the surface of the water, and soon after, all the water in the water tank froze, and the water in the copper basin also began to freeze......
Qing'er carefully touched the ice with her hand, then looked at her uncle with a look of adoration, and asked in disbelief: "Uncle, this, this can't be a dream!" On such a hot day, the water freezes. ”
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, if they had told them that it could freeze in the summer, they would have thought that the person who spoke had a brain disease.
Gu Bei pinched Qing'er's pink little face, blinked and said, "How can it be a dream?" ”
Gu Cheng was very excited, and said: "Brother Bei, how did you come up with it, if you use saltpeter to make ice and sell it on the market, you can make a lot of money!" Hey~"
Gu Bei was speechless, this cousin actually had such a flexible brain, and he suddenly thought of making money.
"No problem, you can sell it!" Since he had Tianxianglu, Gu Bei really didn't like this kind of small business, since his cousin was interested, let him do it!
As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he slapped excitedly: "I'll study it when I go home, no, I'll go home now, hehe~" After speaking, he stopped drinking the cold wine, and hurriedly walked out.
Since Brother Bei can't look down on it, then he has to hurry up and make a fortune plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the saltpeter ice-making method leaks out, how can he make money.
Gu Bei didn't care about him, leaned under the big tree in the courtyard, drank the refreshing chilled grape wine by himself, and suddenly felt the heat disappear. The sparkling ice cubes claming against the walls of the bowl make a tinkling sound, making you feel comfortable from the top of your head to the center of your feet.
Squinting at Qing'er beside her, looking at her pitifully, Gu Beigang wanted to hand over the wine bowl, but suddenly remembered that she didn't like to drink, and after taking a sip, she said, "Alas, a certain girl has no mouth!" ”
"Hmph, Qing'er doesn't drink it." The corners of Qing'er's mouth twitched, and she turned away from him.
Why isn't she fooled? It's not like she hasn't drunk this wine, it's not good at all.
Gu Bei drained the bowl of wine in one gulp, and said temptingly: "Little girl, do you want to eat ice cream?" It tastes so good, melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, and you're guaranteed to want to eat it. After speaking, Gu Bei licked his lips exaggeratedly.
Ice cream?
What is it? Listening to the name, it feels like it's food.
Qing'er, who swore in her heart that she would never pay attention to her uncle again, heard her uncle's exaggerated description, her eyes suddenly lit up, her throat squirmed under her chin, and a trace of crystal clear liquid overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and then she became vigilant in her heart.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Uncle must not be well-intentioned, huh! I must be trying to find out something about her, and it's with Miss......
But......
She wanted to eat again, and the food invented by her uncle was really delicious, and she had never seen it before.
What to do?
Do you want to say yes? Why don't you agree to taste it first? It's not delicious...... They're in a group anyway, well, that's it!
So, Qing'er put on a tsundere face and said, "Okay! Ben Qing'er is reluctant to taste it, and what conditions are there will be also said! ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that if something happens to the lady in the future, you have to tell Aunt Ben by the way!" For the little girl's arrogance, Gu Bei secretly laughed, I'm afraid that you little girl won't be fooled if you have something to eat.
"Okay!" That's it? Qing'er agreed without pressure! This kind of thing has not been done less before, and when the time comes, if this 'ice cream' is delicious,
I...... I'll take it to please Miss, and by the way, I ask for understanding, and Miss shouldn't blame me......
Hum......
I have to say that Qing'er's thoughts are very ...... It's ...... Peculiar.
In an instant, I thought of multiple countermeasures, which can not only satisfy the desire of the tongue, but also meet the source of both ends, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing the inadvertent smile on Qing'er's face, Gu Bei thought about it for a while, and knew what the hell this girl was up to again, but it didn't hurt.
Anyway, to get these things out, one is to miss the 'ice cream' of the 21st century, and the other is to add a new food to the mother during pregnancy.
As for the 'conditions' mentioned to the little girl, it is only incidental, one is to be able to understand the dynamics around Luo Shi at any time, and the other is to hope to send it to the lady to taste through the little girl's hand.
Ice cream is a popular food for young girls in the 21st century, and their two masters and servants are only 'girls' who have just entered high school in modern times.
The two of them each have ghosts, and they both have their own little ninety-nine in their hearts......
So, under Qing'er's expectations, Gu Bei took out the materials that had been prepared a long time ago and began to move.
The ingredients are also very simple, some frosting, a little spice, some fruit, fruit puree and milk......
Gu Bei dissolved the frosting sugar and a little spice in the water, Qing'er helped stir it, then put the water into a clean copper basin, put in the cut fruits in turn, and finally add the fruit pulp and milk...... Mix it all over......
After stirring repeatedly, place the copper basin in the water tank......
That's it!
Ahem, ahem, it's a little rough......
Watching the milk in the copper basin slowly freeze, Qing'er opened her eyes and asked curiously, "Uncle, is this okay?" ”
"Yes."
"So easy? Can you eat it? Qing'er confirmed again, and after her uncle affirmed it, she muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't look good." ”
Qing'er felt that she had been deceived by her uncle, such a simple thing, she would be able to read it once, and she thought about whether to regret it......
“......”
Simple? Can you eat it? Not so good?
These words are simply an insult to the great inventors!
But an insult is an insult!
He didn't invent it anyway, he's just a porter of 'ice cream'......
After the tea, all the milk in the copper basin froze, Qing'er looked at the big 'ice cream' in the copper basin, didn't know how to put her mouth down, uh, start, looked at Gu Bei with her eyes, and asked her uncle for help.
Well, I was so focused on making 'ice cream' that I forgot to separate it.
Looking at the big lump of 'ice cream' in front of him, Gu Bei didn't know how to start, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Ill-conceived, ill-conceived......"
In the end, Qing'er ran away and ran back, holding a big kitchen knife in her hand and waving it like Gu Bei.
No way!
Isn't it that I didn't eat ice cream, and as for wanting to divide Aunt Ben's body? Uncle Dividing the Body is guilty of the following crimes......
Gu Bei thought about it a lot......
Qing'er walked past Gu Bei, who forgot to dodge, with a kitchen knife, a few white lights crossed, and Qing'er's voice came from behind her:
"That's it! Hee-hee~"
Qing'er threw the kitchen knife aside, picked up the small pieces of chopped ice cream with a spoon and put them in the bowl, and looked at it with some hesitation. glanced at my uncle's earnest gaze, closed his eyes, was ruthless, stretched out his pink little finch tongue and licked it, the taste from the tip of the tongue, aftertasted it, and then licked it a few times like a puppy, it was really
Is...... Delicious!
After licking a few bites, Qing'er was self-taught, and her tongue kept scraping the ice cream, probably not licking hard enough, the spoon picked up the ice cream and stuffed it into the small mouth, and soon the ice cream melted in the small mouth and flowed into the stomach.
Seeing her uncle's smug smile, Qing'er suddenly remembered that her indecent movements were all seen by her uncle, a red cloud appeared on her slender neck, and her small and delicate earlobes turned pale pink.
Gu Bei didn't think about it so much, and raised his eyebrows proudly, "What's the matter, my uncle didn't lie to you!" ”
Thinking of the previous scene, Qing'er was shy and wanted to hide in the room, just took two steps, turned around and picked up the copper basin and hurriedly ran to Bai Luoshi's room.
This...... How did you run.
Leaving Gu Bei with a stunned face, Gu Bei shook his head with a wry smile and was about to go back to the room, but suddenly remembered something, forgot to instruct, and secretly screamed:
"Not good!"
In the room, because there were no outsiders, Bai Luoshi's master and servant licked the ice cream in the bowl without any image, licking happily.
"Miss, ...... That's going to be it.! ”
Qing'er's little head changes up and down, left and right, licking, sucking, and sucking, not only applying what she has learned, but also incarnating as Mr. from time to time to personally guide the eldest lady. From time to time, a few sounds:
"Delicious~hiss"
"It's really delicious...... Miss is going to ...... like this."
Bai Luoshi is following Qing'er's teaching, taking a piece of long 'ice cream' into her mouth and then spitting it out......
"Crunch" The door was pushed open from the outside, and Gu Bei walked in and saw a scene in the house...... Suddenly stunned on the spot,
Embarrassed!
Still embarrassing!
After Qing'er left, he remembered something, and he was worried that the two of them were greedy, so he broke in directly without knocking on the door.
And then, the picture is too ......
Spicy eyes!
It's exciting!
Gu Bei's mouth was dry, and he also pulled up the banner below and began to rebel, Gu Bei bowed slightly, coughed, covered up, and said: "Lady, you went to the wrong door for your husband, you continue to ......" After speaking, he strode out of the door without waiting for a response, and when he left a word when he went out, he fled in the wilderness.
"Lady, you can't eat too much ice cream, it's not good for the little guy to eat too much!"
Go on?
What to continue?
Bai Luoshi and Qing'er still maintained their original posture, holding a long 'ice cream' in their small mouths, and the two glanced at each other before hurriedly spitting out the ice cream in their small mouths......
This ice cream does taste good, it melts in your mouth, hum, it's all Gu Bei, it's all to blame, it's ugly.
Bai Luoshi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it was the first time she ate like this, but she didn't expect it...... He looked at it......
Bai Luoshi's delicate face was covered with red clouds, and she put the bowl down heavily, hiding the shame in her heart, and hummed: "Throw these things out, if you don't eat them, they won't taste good at all!"
"Huh?"
Qing'er lowered her little head, squinted her eyes and secretly looked at Miss, seeing that Miss was not really angry, but she was ashamed that her uncle saw that scene.
Although this ice cream was delicious, she didn't dare to refute when the young lady spoke, spit out her powdered tongue, and obediently responded: "Yes!"
After returning to the room, Gu Bei remembered the picture of his spicy eyes before, and his heart became hot, if it was the lady's mouth......
Phew, blah, dispel the cranky thoughts in his mind, Gu Bei shook his head, how could he have such a dirty idea? Looks like I've been getting a little angry lately......
When eating dinner, Gu Bei was facing a large table of dishes, and he was really a little unaccustomed to it, so he hurriedly finished eating and went back to the room.
As for Bai Luoshi and Qing'er's master and servant, Gu Bei guessed that it might be related to today's scene! Although she is her husband who is marrying a famous family...... Gu Bei saw such indecent actions, and she felt that she was still unbearable because of her thin skin!
It's a pity...... It's actually for ice cream.
The whole courtyard was quiet, except for the occasional footsteps of maids passing by outside the window.
Gu Bei didn't feel sleepy, he lay on the bookcase, looking through the books of this era one by one.
These books represent the glorious achievements of this era.
It's just that for Gu Bei, the language in the book is too obscure and difficult to understand, and it looks very difficult.
