Chapter 83: Snatching a Kid's Popsicle
What's the coolest thing about this hot day?
Blowing the air conditioner and eating watermelon, or blowing the air conditioner and eating popsicles.
Watermelon Li Hang can eat, but it's too expensive!
There are no melon farmers nearby, and there are no watermelons that specialize in growing watermelons, so the price of watermelons is a bit inflated!
How high?
More expensive than meat!
It's a dog!
This is still in the canal port commercial port!
But watermelon is hard to eat, and you can still cook and eat it yourself!
Popsicles are one of them.
It's also one of the things that are more to do!
How?
Put the mung bean porridge you cooked directly in the mold, and then use saltpeter to make ice outside, and the mung bean popsicles that freeze by the way are the favorite of these bear children.
However, for his wife and sister-in-law, this kind of mung bean ice is too low-level, and in the era when there is no sugar, this kind of mung bean ice is too cheap.
So Li Hang decided to get some high-end food!
Kindness? What's the least valuable thing in these years? It's manpower!
"Vigorously call a few boys to come over and bring me two chopsticks to make cream!"
Once you have the milk, all that's left is to whip the cream, and as long as you have the cream, you can make a lot of desserts.
After cutting the fruit he bought, Li Hang slowly made some ice cubes and made it into broken ice, and then watched a few apprentices beat cream on the side like convulsions.
Seeing this scene, even the third prince Yingqi was dumbfounded.
How else can I play?
It is estimated that this is something that the well-informed third prince would never have thought of.
But now he's busy checking the built horseshoe and stirrups, so he's only getting a second look.
After watching this prince follow Zhao Yijin out on horseback, Li Hang immediately took the beaten cream and poured it directly on a large bowl of shaved ice, and then garnished it with some fruits.
There is no sugar these days, so I can only play like this. But that's it, this big bowl of ice cream can be described as quite eye-catching.
Especially after Li Hang took these creams and froze them directly, it made a lot of boys' eyes straighten.
"Keep fighting! If you fight more, you will eat! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
More than a dozen apprentices took turns to beat the cream non-stop, which was quite spectacular.
Especially after making those cream popsicles, they were all very pleased to hold one and lick it.
"Brother-in-law! It's delicious! Scooping a little bit with a spoon, Zhou Xin was trembling from head to toe when he took a bite, and Li Hang, who looked at it with his eyes closed and shaking his head, laughed, but after eating, this little girl still wanted to eat!
The apprentices on the side were even more unbearable, licking the popsicles one by one, and even the wooden sticks that were eaten to the end had to be held in their mouths for a long time.
"Master is so delicious!" Hao Jun, the little fat man, is the hardest working, so the popsicle he made for himself is also the biggest, although he eats cream all over his body, as if he has been beaten.
But at this time, he is a better interpretation, there is cream is happiness!
Just about to say something to the little fat man, as soon as Li Hang heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, he hurriedly patted the little fat man on the shoulder. "Put away all the cream popsicles! Otherwise, it will be gone in a while! ”
"Li Xiucai, what did you say that it would be gone after a while?" Win rushed in at a trot, he was excited and hot, he needed ice cubes to cool down! Then he saw the popsicle in the little fat man's hand that he hadn't started eating yet. "What's so delicious about this? Let this king taste it! ”
Looking at him as a prince, the king of heaven snatched something to eat from the son of a coolie, and Li Hang put this guy into the same category as the guy who robbed the little girl's lollipop in later generations.
Hao Jun's expression on the side seemed to cry, it was like smelling the tears of the sad seekers, and Li Hang could only beat his chest when he saw it. That's the prince, the master can't get it back!
Seeing him lick two mouthfuls very shamelessly, and immediately with an expression of discovering a new continent, he picked up Zhao Yijin on the side and went to grab it, Li Hang completely lost confidence in these guys who led troops to fight.
This is my partner, and it's really a pit!
Canned food for preliminary experiments has been taken out.
In full view of everyone, Li Hang opened the can of boiled cabbage that had been stored for three days.
Then he took out the cabbage and ate it.
The taste is good, and the saltiness is just right.
"Taste it!"
After Li Hang finished speaking, he handed the can to the two of them.
The two unscrupulous people who had just finished eating popsicles couldn't sit still, and they came over and ate the cabbage one by one.
Zhao Yijin looked at Li Hang with wide eyes. "This is the little cabbage that has been sitting for three days?"
Li Hang gave this guy a blank look. "The words posted on this are all written by you, and you don't know your own words?"
What's more, the storage points of this canned food are cellars, and no one goes there on weekdays, and it was taken out by one of Zhao Yijin's personal soldiers just now.
Naturally, there is no possibility of being manipulated.
It's just that at this time, eating this little cabbage, saying that it was something from three days ago, they couldn't believe it.
Looking at the cans one by one with some excitement, Yingqi's expression was very excited. "If we can get all our brothers to eat green vegetables, it will be a great achievement! What's more, even in Jinling City, there are very few people who can eat green vegetables in winter, so if this is really done, this must be ......."
It's clear that this is the one who snatched the lollipop
"Stop!" interrupted the YY of the third prince, Li Hang directly broke his illusion without mercy. "Don't think about mass production, this thing can't be mass-produced, if you want to eat vegetables, you better work on pickles!"
Pickles, this kind of thing can also be stored for a long time, and it also has enough appetizing effect, plus it is easy to preserve and handle, these pickles can exist well as military food!
Ying Qi sighed, he still thought Li Hang was going to say something, these salts are very precious, isn't it tyrannical to use them to make pickles?
Looking at their expressions of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Hang laughed helplessly. "Third prince, dare to ask, such as where does today's salt come from?"
In the end, he is a prince, and he still has some understanding of the general trend of the world. "The well salt in the southwest, as well as the salt mines in the central and southern regions and the north, this is the largest source of salt industry in the current Daying Dynasty!"
Li Hang pursed his lips, obviously the third prince didn't figure out why salt was so expensive.
"There is a lot of salt, but salt is very expensive, mainly because of the monopoly of salt and iron! On the one hand, we use this salt to regulate the price of the world, and on the other hand, we use the windfall profits of these salts to encourage those merchants to transport rice and grain from the south to the north, and then get salt from the northern border and then find the salt merchants in the north to transport the salt back, which is similar to the southwest, in fact, salt is more like a currency! Li Hang said slowly.
This is the income of the imperial court, and it is impossible for me to meddle in this kind of thing, and to meddle is death.
"So it's not worth using this to make pickles, but what if the royal family comes forward to open a pickle workshop for the army only?"
Li Hang didn't know the output of salt, anyway, there was no shortage of modern technology at all.
Since this big winning dynasty can mine mineral salt, there will definitely not be much shortage.
