Chapter 158: Building an igloo in the summer
[The author declares that he is a person, he fights the street, and complains to complain, and the author's enthusiasm has not diminished. This book will go on forever. 】
Xiao Mo's sudden change made everyone present think that Xiao Mo was about to get angry, and even Xiaobai turned his head, his eyes squinted slightly and secretly glanced at Xiao Mo with some nervousness.
It's just that at this time, I heard Xiao Mo say softly: "It's not okay for your father and me to surrender!" Now your father and I will cede the land and pay reparations and sign an unequal treaty! Since you don't like hot water and hate summer even more, then Daddy will build you an igloo, and never procrastinate, and start doing it tomorrow! If it's not good, then you're going a little too far. ”
As soon as Xiao Mo's words came out, everyone present first looked stunned, and then they were stunned, and even Xiaobai was puzzled.
That's right, right? Igloo? Want to build an igloo in the summer? Are you sure it's not funny? Are you sure you're not cheating on the kids?
Zi Ling's eyes were also full of surprise at this time, and he said in a little incredulous: "Young Master, you are not wrong, right?" Igloo? How could it be built into an igloo in this summer? It's just a little bit of ice, and it's incomparably precious at this time, and there are only a few stores in the ice cellars of the powerful. Not to mention our family, young master, are you sure you didn't say angry words? ”
Xiao Mo nodded affirmatively after hearing this: "The young master didn't say anything angry, he just built an igloo!" Before, the young master, I walked into the misunderstanding, thinking that the ice cube to cool Xiaobai must be ice formed by taking water in a frozen environment. Of course, such ice cubes can be cooled down and edible, so young master, I have been thinking about how to go to the Wang family's ice cellar all day long.
Today, Xiaobai made such a fuss, young master, I can understand it, who said that this ice must be formed with pure water? As long as this ice can be used to cool down, can it be used to cool things? There has never been a rule that says that this ice must be edible, right? ”
When Xiao Mo said this, the people present were all covered with circles. Didn't understand at all. However, everyone knows one thing in their hearts, that is, it seems that their young master has really come up with a way to make ice in the summer.
Xiao Bai also stood up at this time, looked at Xiao Mo carefully with his green eyes, and then whined a few times and shook his round little head. didn't see how this guy moved, so he rushed into Xiao Mo's arms in an instant.
Xiao Mo also laughed when he saw this, picked up the mutton on the plate and fed it to Xiaobai.
Xiao Mo's idea of the igloo was not just a casual talk, but took into account Xiaobai's actual situation and the preservation of the restaurant's dishes.
Xiaobai really needs ice cubes to cool down now, otherwise it will be really difficult to survive the hot summer. Xiao Moke didn't want Xiaobai to die because of the weather before he grew up.
Even if Xiao Mo took Xiaobai to the north, what could it do? It is true that winter comes in the north faster than in the Central Plains. It's going to be a long time, but that doesn't mean there isn't summer in the north!
The territory covered by the Chinese territory did not cross the Arctic Circle at this time, and Xiao Mo's memory seems to have been extended to Siberia only during the Yuan Dynasty.
Nowadays, even the northernmost places have summer visits, and the biggest difference from the Central Plains is nothing more than the length of summer. So for Xiaobai, unless he goes to the snow-covered snow mountain, it is the same to go anywhere in Dasui.
Xiao Mo initially hit the idea on the Wang family's ice cellar, but then Xiao Mo found out. It is also unlikely that Xiaobai will live in an ice cellar. Although Xiaobai is afraid of heat, he is also unable to survive in the ice cellar. The effect of these ice cubes on Xiaobai can only be taken out to cool down.
In the summer, the ice stored in the ice cellar can't stand up to consumption. And in this era when there are no refrigeration tools, ice is a very precious thing in the summer, and it is not much cheaper than copper of the same weight. It is also impossible for the Wang family to let Xiao Mo use the entire ice cube in the ice cellar.
But just now, Xiao Mo suddenly found that what he had been thinking had entered a misunderstanding, a very serious misunderstanding.
For Xiaobai. All you need is a cool environment, not ice cubes to survive. As long as the external environment can achieve the cooling effect, then it does not matter whether the ice cubes are edible or not.
Xiao Mo's restaurant is about to open, and many of the ingredients required for the dishes are very fresh, and they are in the summer. This is not an easy requirement. However, even to achieve the effect of freshness, it is not necessary to have edible ice cubes to refrigerate.
Xiao Mo once thought about using well water to cool down to achieve the effect of food preservation, but this method is much weaker than using ice cubes to cool down.
And if you can use ice cubes, then many special dishes and cold drinks can be made without any effort.
Because this ice cube does not have to be edible, Xiao Mo thought of a particularly simple ice-making method, that is, saltpeter ice-making method.
The saltpeter ice making method was once widely used in Chinese history. In the year of the Great Sui, the saltpeter ice making method should have appeared, but at this time it could only be seen in some remote tribes or southwest regions. In the Central Plains, there is no such thing as ice making by this method.
However, this method is very simple and easy, as long as there is saltpeter, it can be completed, and a piece of saltpeter can also be used repeatedly, which is quite cost-saving and labor-saving.
In later generations, this method is basically only used for experimental research, and is rarely applied in real life, after all, refrigerators have already entered every household in later generations. There is really no need to use the earth method to make ice.
Putting saltpeter directly into water to make ice is made of toxins and is not edible, but the ice cubes made are no problem to cool down.
Of course, if some refinement and filtration are underway, the ice produced is not inedible, but the price is a little bit greater in this era.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but find that he seemed to have another idea to make money.
The chilled drinks after the restaurant opened are a very good selling point.
In these days, other restaurants can't afford to use ice cubes to cool drinks in the summer, and even in wealthy families, it is impossible to drink cold drinks every day.
But for Xiao Mo, this matter is much easier, directly build a large ice warehouse, what kind of cold drinks will you want at that time? The main object of making money in Xiao Mo's restaurant positioning is those powerful and wealthy businessmen, as long as they pay for it, there is no problem in chilling anything.
