Chang'an looked back at the pile of embroidery, and the top of the mountain opened a thousand doors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee.

Li Shimin is not Tang Gaozong, and he can't do the luxury and extravagance of Gaozong, but as a son of heaven, there are naturally a lot of things that should be enjoyed.

As the successor of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Li Dynasty naturally enjoyed everything that the previous dynasty had, and the ice cellar specially built for the royal family to cool off was one of them.

Of course, the ownership of the ice cellar belongs to the royal family, in fact, some nobles and ministers of the dynasty can also enjoy such benefits at certain times, and this is the so-called reward!

If you want ice to be available in the summer, you must store clean water in the cold winter and then pack it in a boxy container to freeze it. After freezing, you need to take out the ice bricks inside again and pile them up one by one to prevent the ice from turning into water due to the high temperature......

In short, if you want to enjoy the cold of winter in the summer heat, the manpower, material and financial resources required are definitely not a small number!

Hearing Tang Peng ask about the ice cellar in the palace, Li Jing had a bad premonition at the moment, but he still replied: "Naturally, I know, according to legend, this ice cellar has existed since the Qin Emperor period, and it has been used by all dynasties to this day!" ”

"Hey, hey! Since Uncle Li knows, the little nephew has omitted an explanation! Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that last year, in June last year, the little nephew was fortunate to be a guest with his father at Dou's house, and he ate a piece of chilled watermelon with his father's light, and that feeling... Hehe!

Therefore, the little nephew thought that he would build such a house in his own house, not to be big, as long as it could meet the needs of the house, but it was not until he inquired about the steward of the third room of the Dou family that he immediately dispelled this idea! ”

Li Jing didn't reply, but Niu Jinda was a little puzzled and asked: "Although your Tang family is quite different from the Dou family, it is also a meritorious family, and your family is still running a leather business, can't you afford to dig a small ice cellar?" ”

In Niu Jinda's opinion, the ice cellar in the palace naturally needs a certain amount of money to maintain, after all, it needs to supply the entire palace, and even sometimes Li Er needs to transfer some of it to the ministers to cool off, so it is bigger.

However, if ordinary people are concerned, it is completely okay to build a small ice cellar, which is nothing more than digging a hole in the ground and then diverting water to freeze, which is not a big deal.

"Uncle Niu, the little nephew also thought so at the beginning!" Tang Peng smiled and said, "So, I also specially asked people to dig a cellar in the yard!" Just last year. I used the same method, I got a lot of ice cubes and stored them in it, but then guess what? ”

"Melted?" Niu Jinda asked.

"Who's to say it isn't!" Tang Peng then said: "Later, when I went to Dou's house to inquire, I figured out that this ice cellar must be large enough, and it must be deep and far away from the ground, only in this way can it be separated from the temperature of the ground and keep the ice cubes below from melting."

Let me tell you, as for the Dou family's ice cellar, it is said that there are many rooms as big as that, and the ice cubes are full, but in the second year, there are only three floors that can be used, and the rest are all turned into water! ”

"This is the reversal of yin and yang! The snow and ice in the winter are left for the summer, and it is good to be able to leave three achievements! Niu Jinda sighed deeply, he was also clear about the fact that the Dou family in Chang'an had an ice cellar, and now after listening to Tang Peng's explanation, he knew that there were so many doorways here.

"So, this thing is rare and expensive! A block of ice in winter is a block of ice, all over the street, it's worthless! But in the summer, if you want to be able to get it unless you go to the Snow Mountain, otherwise... Difficult! Seeing that Niu Jinda agreed with his point of view, Tang Peng continued: "Let's take the Dou family's chilled watermelon as an example, an eight-pound watermelon is about three cents in the West Market, but can you eat the Dou family's chilled watermelon with three cents?"

Even if it's 500 articles, it is estimated that people won't even show you a look! Therefore, the ice in this summer, it is golden! Just like the grape wine we just drank, if it is sold in Chang'an, I estimate that it will be less than ten dollars, and people will not show you a look! ”

"Ten dollars?" Niu Jinda was taken aback.

Not only him, but even Zhang Yi and Li Jing next to him were speechless for a while.

Ten yuan has caught up with the price of a healthy cow, just such a small pot, just one, so these two pots of wine just now are not two cows belly?

Although he had known for a long time that the estimated price of chilled grape wine was not low, Zhang Yi never thought that the price could be so high.

You must know that although Tang Peng likes to play a little, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Li Jing and Niu Jinda. It can be seen that in fact, such high-end luxury goods are actually very marketable in Datang!

Of course, Zhang Yi's mind was thinking about how to open the high-end market, but Li Jing was secretly bitter in his heart at this time.

The price of an ordinary pot of grape wine is generally between a few cents and a few hundred cents, but just chilled like this, the price does not know how many times it has increased, what will he exchange with Zhang Yi for such a big profit?

I thought that I could solve the problem of the suffering of the army by spending a few dozen dollars, but now.... There doesn't seem to be a possibility at all!

It's just, in front of the cow, this is what I just shouted.... made him feel like he couldn't come to the stage.

As a businessman, Zhang Yi has always been very good at mining the market from life.

Since you are in the army, it is obvious that you can't eat that piece of fat in Chang'an, but do you give up like this? Absolutely not!

Looking at Li Jing, whose face was ugly and his lips moved slightly, Zhang Yi thought for a while, and then smiled and arched his hand towards Li Jing: "The general manager is really admired by the subordinates for the whole army, but this summer ice-making method can't really be given to you, but in fact, except for the fact that you want a method, we can actually have other ways to cooperate!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yi took out a piece of ice from the small copper basin and said to a few people: "The chief manager, General Niu, and Tang Sijie, the lower officials don't know that a piece of ice of such a size, if it is supplied to the brothers in the army for a fee, it only costs two pennies a piece, do you think this price is fair?" ”

"Two pennies?"

Li Jing's face was full of surprise, he thought that Zhang Yi would open his mouth, but he never expected that Zhang Yi would actually offer a paid supply at the price of two pennies for a piece of ice.

Niu Jinda was also shocked, this price is compared with ten dollars, it is simply nothing!

Only Tang Peng was speechless, two pennies, the price of cabbage is not even the price of cabbage!
