Chapter 591: Bingjian

(Cat flutter Chinese)

In ancient times, large families generally had ice cellars.

In the winter, the ice cellar will hide some ice in it, which can be used to chill things in the summer, and can even be used to store some perishable food.

However, even if the ice cubes are hidden in the ice cellar, with the arrival of summer, the ice cubes will still slowly melt and finally melt clean.

There are too many places where Qinhou Mansion uses ice cubes in summer, even if they hide a lot of ice in winter, it is a bit insufficient now, after all, in addition to their use, Sihaiju also needs to use it.

Hearing that there was no ice, Cheng Yanjin and the others immediately pursed their lips, a little disappointed.

"Really, why is there no ice, so you can get us a few jars of beer and drink it in my house, although the ice in my house is almost running out, there are still some of them."

There is not much ice in every house, but the summer is just halfway through.

Although I think it's a bit of a pity, it's also something that can't be helped.

Qin didn't panic much, and said, "It's just ice, what's this, I can also make ice for you in Xia." ”

After saying this, Cheng Yanjin and the others suddenly showed a look of disgust, they knew that Qin was very powerful, but when Xia Zhibing said this, it was a bit of a pretense.

"Don't make a fuss, you really think you're very good." Cheng Yanjin smiled.

Qin pouted: "I'm not fooling around, Xia wants to make ice, what's so difficult?" ”

"Really, you can really make ice in Xia?" Seeing that Qin didn't seem to be joking, everyone was also a little surprised.

"Of course you can make ice, and it's very simple, come on!"

At the sound of an order, someone immediately ran over: "What do you have to say about Master Hou?" ”

"Get some saltpeter."

Saltpeter has appeared at this time, and every year on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, someone will put saltpeter into a bamboo tube to ignite by heating, and the sound of explosion will occur to welcome the New Year.

Of course, gunpowder did not appear.

It's not hard to find saltpeter.

Soon, the subordinates in the house brought Qin a bag of saltpeter.

After the saltpeter came, Qin sent someone to get a basin of water, and then put the saltpeter into the water.

When everyone saw this, they were a little diffuse.

"You put this saltpeter into the water, and you can make ice?"

Qin nodded: "Yes, after saltpeter dissolves in water, it can absorb a lot of heat, which will cause the water to freeze, you can look at it, soon." ”

Sure enough, just when Qin was like this, the water in the basin really slowly condensed into ice, and everyone saw with their own eyes that in this great summer, a basin of water turned into ice.

The shock was even more incredible than seeing a sow go up a tree.

"This ...... This is amazing, with this, who still uses the ice cellar? ”

"It's just that making ice cubes is easy and convenient, amazing, amazing......"

Cheng Yanjin and the others were full of praise, and Qin Haha smiled: "Now you believe it, right?" ”

"Believe, believe!"

If you see it with your own eyes, can you believe it?

At this time, the next person took the ice cube and went down to the cold beer, and they finally began to eat and drink.

Halfway through the meal, a cold beer was served, and everyone took a sip of it, and they all felt very refreshed.

When Qin was drinking beer, he suddenly thought of something, a popsicle.

In the previous life, many people liked to eat popsicles in summer, adding a little sugar to the ice cubes, it tasted sweet and cool, and the most comfortable thing in summer was probably nothing more than this, right?

In later generations, this is all business, nothing, but in the summer of the Tang Dynasty, this is probably a luxury, right?

Qin thought about it, and felt that after eating, he could try to make some out.

Full of wine and food, noon had passed, Cheng Yanjin and the others didn't stay long, rubbed their stomachs and left, and after they left, Qin here immediately began to make popsicles.

"Come on, make me some bamboo skewers, the bamboo skewers are flat, half the length of chopsticks, by the way, bring some sugar and honey over ......"

Qin commanded like this, and the subordinates were busy.

----------------

In the backyard, the Ninth Princess and Tang Rong sat together playing mahjong, and Qing and Die were playing beside them.

"Sister, I heard that Hou Ye made ice cubes in the summer, Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong were all surprised."

Qing said casually, but when he finished like this, several women who were playing mahjong suddenly stopped.

"Summer makes ice cubes, how is this possible?" The Ninth Princess frowned, he also knew that the ice cubes in their house were gone, but she couldn't believe that Qin Xia could make ice cubes.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, of course it's true, this matter was passed down by the previous guy, if it's not true, do they dare to do this?"

Seeing that Qing was troubled, everyone became more and more curious.

"After Lu Guogong and the others are gone, how about we go and see?" Tang Rong proposed, and the ninth princess and Lu Huaniang hurriedly agreed.

The air is still a little hot, and in a courtyard, the cicadas are noisy.

When Qin was making popsicles under a tree, the Nine Princesses and they came in this way.

Seeing a lot of ice cubes next to Qin, everyone was stunned.

"Xianggong, did you really make an ice cube?" Tang Rong was the first to speak, and the others followed with curious glances, Qin smiled: "Of course it's true, not only have ice cubes been made, but there are also good things for you." ”

Then, Qin gave them the made popsicles, the popsicles were solidified with bamboo sticks, and they could eat them with bamboo sticks, and everyone was very puzzled.

"Isn't this just an ice cube, what for?"

"Taste it, and you'll know when you taste it."

"Eating ice?"

Everyone was a little speechless, although the summer was very hot, but they had never eaten ice cubes in the summer, first, although there were ice cubes in the ice cellar, but they were all ice cubes that had been put for more than half a year, who dared to eat them, they were all dirty.

These ice cubes were made by Qin in the summer, thinking that they should be clean, everyone hesitated, and finally took a bite.

When a piece of ice enters the mouth, I immediately feel comfortable all over my body, and it is faintly different from the ice cube, because they taste a sweet taste.

The combination of sweetness and coldness is simply an experience like never before.

After Butterfly took a bite, he couldn't help but take another bite, and it didn't take long for a popsicle to be eaten clean.

"Big brother, it's so delicious, I still want it."

Qin was speechless, and gave her another piece: "One can eat cool, and if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea." ”

Children like to eat sweet, and they also like to eat popsicles, but this thing really can't be eaten too much.

"If you think it's delicious, I'll order someone to make more and sell it on the street."
