Jia Yi took out all the money in the account, leaving only some spare, and the rest was all used to buy grain, vegetables and meat, the meat merchants, grain merchants, and vegetable merchants in Duqu County were too much, even if Jia Yi spent a lot of copper money, but it didn't cause too much turmoil in the market, but these things were transported back to the inn, but it made him worried.

It's getting hotter and hotter, and there are so many of these things that if you keep it like this, it won't take long for it to spoil, if only you had a refrigerator.

Thinking of the refrigerator, Jia Yi thought of the method of making ice, his eyes lit up, and he decided to hurry up and buy some saltpeter and come back and get an ice cellar.

There are not a lot of saltpeter on the market, most of them are in pharmacies, a small amount of saltpeter dissolved in water will become a laxative, and a large amount of saltpeter dissolved in water will show the solid state of saltpeter aqueous solution, that is, saltpeter ice, I searched all over Duqu County, Jia Yi only found a hundred and ten catties of saltpeter, not much, let's make do with it first.

At the beginning of the construction of the inn, the cellar was dug underground, the area was not small, under Jia Yi's order, the entire cellar was filled with half a foot of water, and then from the inside to the outside began to quickly sprinkle saltpeter.

It's not the first time Jia Yi has done this kind of thing, and the security awareness in his mind is definitely not comparable to these people at this time, so for the sake of safety, he is ready to do it himself.

Carefully holding a basket of saltpeter down to the cellar, wading through the water to the deepest part of the cellar, then grabbed a handful of saltpeter from the frame and sprinkled it into the water, accompanied by the sound of "Zizi", the water in the cellar began to bubble rapidly, and then the temperature was not very high The cellar became even colder, and the white ice appeared in the water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Jia Yi appeared at the mouth of the cellar, he couldn't stop shivering, his hair and eyebrows were covered with frost, and the water vapor that spewed out was more than a foot long, and his legs were even more unbearable.

For the sake of secrecy, only Jia Er and Lin Ruyu stood outside the cellar, and when the two of them saw Jia Yi's appearance, it was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, with a face full of horror, and they didn't understand what happened in the cellar, which made Jia Yi look like this.

"Look...... Look at the fart, ...... Take me back quickly. A very slow slap on the back of Jia Er's head, which brought him back to his soul, and then picked up Jia Yi and walked out the back door and rushed towards the Lin Mansion.

"Huh? It's very strange why you can get frostbite on this hot day. Sun Simiao looked at Jia Yi, who was drinking with a bowl of hot ginger soup, with a puzzled look on his face, it was unreasonable to be frostbitten this summer.

"Don't mention it, I just wanted to get an ice cellar, and I almost didn't freeze myself in the cellar, thanks to my speed."

"How do I get an ice cellar?" Sun Simiao was full of question marks by Jia Yi.

"Little Er, bring some saltpeter." Jia Yi gave Jia Er an order, and then motioned for Lin Ruyu to bring a bowl of water, and then in front of Sun Simiao, he threw a piece of saltpeter into the water, still with the sound of "Zizi", still bubbling, and then a scene that shocked everyone appeared in front of the big guy, and the water turned into ice.

"This saltpeter is a medicine for constipation, I really didn't expect it to have such a function." Sun Simiao is worthy of being the king of medicine, and for the function of saltpeter, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"As Sun Shenxian said, this is the medicine for constipation."

"Haha, the whole world, it's really wonderful." Sun Simiao was like seeing a new toy, looking at the bowl of ice that exuded cold air, and smiled very happily.

"That Sun Shenxian, can you help me keep it secret first......

Before Jia Yi's words were finished, the smile on Sun Simiao's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy expression, and saw him sit up from the bed, shook his wide sleeves at Jia Yi, and said coldly: "Since this method is used, it should be used for the benefit of the people, how can you use it for profit." ”

"No, Sun Shenxian, I didn't mean that," Originally, Jia Yi just wanted to make a fortune with this hand this year, seeing Sun Simiao like that, this method was also thought of, and simply said generously: "I mean, wait until the weather is hot, and then I will announce this method to the world, what do you think?" ”

"If you don't do what you say, Lao Dao is willing to do it for you."

Jia Yi hated these selfless saints, who didn't let people earn money if they had money, so they had to take it out to do good deeds. Since this method can't be kept secret, Jia Yi decided to use this method to pit King Meng Fa again, but how to operate, this has to be thought about.

When all the materials were put into the cellar, Jia Yi had no worries, at least for a short time, he didn't have to worry about Wang Mengfa fighting with him about materials.

At this moment, Wang Mengfa didn't know that Jia Yi had discovered their plans, and was gathering a group of businessmen to discuss how to suppress Jia Yi's Quartet Inn.

"The Sifang Inn is too popular, and the business of many of our inns and restaurants has fallen a lot, and I invite you here today in the hope that everyone can unite and resist the rise of the Sifang Inn together."

"Restricted materials?"

In fact, I know some of this kind of thing as inns and restaurants, but I haven't really used it since it opened, so I'm still a little drumming in my heart.

"Yes, it is the restricted materials, as long as we restrict the materials of the Sifang Inn, so that they have no food to sell, no matter how good their dishes are and how mellow the wine is, they will not be able to return to the sky." Wang Mengfa had already thought about everything, and it was natural to talk about it.

"But I heard that the Sifang Inn has just purchased a large number of materials, enough for them to sell for a month." Another businessman said with a worried look on his face.

"Haha, now that the weather is getting hotter, how long can they keep those materials, seven days is already the limit, as long as we withstand the first seven days, then this Duqu County will return to our hands.

After some careful discussion, coupled with the proportion shared by each family, in the end, Wang Mengfa was responsible for 30% of the meat in the market, and the other merchants shared the grain and vegetables. A business alliance against Jia Yi took shape, and the corners of Wang Mengfa's mouth also put a cold smile on his mouth.

Jia Yi didn't know anything about it, but with a hint of induction, he made the most correct choice, but at this moment he was also uncomfortable, the cold did not stay in his body for long, it was absorbed by the external temperature, but the frostbite on his legs was real.

"Sun Shenxian, quickly show me, is there any medicine for chilblains, I can't stand the itching." If it weren't for Jia Er and Lin Ruyu holding one of Jia Yi's hands, he would have scratched his leg out countless wounds by now.

"I've already applied the chilblain medicine to you eight times, can't you bear this pain?" Sun Simiao was annoyed by Jia Yi's question, flicked his wide sleeves again, and left.

"God, who will save me." Jia Yi was itching and crying, this might as well be painful, at least he gritted his teeth in pain, how could he get through it, this itch is really not something that people can bear.

Jia Yi desperately searched for the ingredients of the ointment that his parents gave him after he was frostbitten when he was a child, but it was too long, and he only vaguely remembered what mulberry branches, cinnamon branches, licorice, and Chuanxiong, as for how much he needed, he didn't remember it at all.

"Xiao Er, hurry up and go to the pharmacy to grab medicine for me, mulberry branches, cinnamon branches, licorice, Chuanxiong, one or two of each, no, come to a catty, go quickly."

"Big brother, you have to hold on, don't think about it."

", Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough, these medicines are used to treat frostbite, and if you go to it, Lao Tzu can't stand it." Itching is really a good thing to test people's willpower, and judging from Jia Yi's performance, he is obviously not up to standard.

Xiao Er took the order and left, but Sun Simiao, who had just left with his sleeves brushed up, walked back.

"Boy, do you know medical science?"

"I know the medical science of a fart, this is the medicine my mother prescribed to me when I was a child who was frostbitten, as for how much I need, I can't remember." Jia Yi, who is really itchy and uncomfortable, can't care about any politeness at this time, how comfortable to say is.

"Mulberry branches, cinnamon branches, licorice, Chuanxiong, these are drugs that invigorate blood circulation, and if they are compatible, they will also be right for your current symptoms." As he spoke, Sun Simiao sat on the chair and thought about it.

When Jia Er grabbed the medicine back, Sun Simiao snatched it over, grabbed it little by little according to the proportion of his own thinking, and then began to decoct the medicine.

"Sun Shenxian, this thing is applied externally, it's almost cooked, just hurry up and bring it to me, are you slowly thinking about it when you're done?" Looking at the slow Sun Simiao, Jia Yi cried again.

When Sun Simiao heard this, Jia Er brought the warm potion to Jia Yi, and Jia Yi didn't say a word, and put the two black legs directly in the basin.

"Hoo ......"

This medicine is not a miracle medicine, of course it has no immediate effect, Jia Yi is only psychological, and he feels that the itching on his legs has been reduced a little, so he let out a long breath.

"Ruyu, what are you doing?" Jia Yi, who had just felt comfortable for a while, felt that his legs began to itch again, but this was not itching, but the weird itching feeling that only appeared when the opposite sex touched his body.

"The concubine serves you with medicine."

Looking at Jia Yi's painful appearance, Lin Ruyu was distressed in her heart, thinking about this period of time, Jia Yi has been busy for the Lin family, so that the Lin family, which was originally crumbling, has become the premier inn in Duqu County, she is very grateful to Jia Yi, and at the same time, she has also strengthened her determination not to marry Jia Yi in this life.

Looking at Lin Ruyu's gentle appearance, Jia Yi unconsciously put a happy smile on his face, if he has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.
