Chapter Ninety-Three: Saltpeter Ice Making
After Gao Ying left, Shen Ze asked Xiao Xiang'er and Shui Yue to pack up his things for him, preparing to move to the Gao family's Yaowang Mountain Villa tomorrow, while he himself sat under the big willow tree in the backyard to enjoy the shade. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but Shen Ze no longer dares to drink Lao Yuan's iced fragrant drink, so he can only rely on eating watermelons from the well to get rid of the heat!
While eating, Shen Ze suddenly remembered something, which was still about the ice.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt that the ice in Yuan Jixiang's drink shop probably really had some problems!
I went to claim ten taels of silver, but I put on my own name to cover him, and it seems that I have lost a lot! It's just that its ice hurts its own diarrhea, and it should be paid so much.
In fact, it can't be said that Yuan Ji's ice has a problem, but all the ice in the Ming Dynasty has a bit of a problem.
In this era, the ice was taken from the rivers and lakes in winter, stored in a sealed cellar for half a year, and then taken out in the summer. In this era, there is no sterile space, and during this half year, these ice bricks are afraid that many bacteria will breed.
These ices that have been stored for half a year are okay if they are used to chill drinks, but if they are added to drinks to eat, so many bacteria, it is strange that there is no diarrhea after eating too much.
Thinking of this, Shen Ze suddenly remembered a good idea to make a fortune.
At that moment, Shen Ze couldn't care about eating melons, so he called Huzi and went to Ruixiang Fur Store on Xieliu Street.
When Shen Ze and the others came back, Huzi had half a bag of saltpeter on his body
Shen Ze went to Ruixiang Fur to buy saltpeter!
The larger fur shops in Qingzhou City are generally equipped with saltpeter, which is used to make leather. Shen Ze went to Ruixiang Fur Store and spent two taels of silver to buy back this half of the pocket.
Huzi put the half pocket of saltpeter in the courtyard, and asked Shen Ze with curiosity in his eyes: "Son, what are you buying this thing for?" This small half pocket of saltpeter costs two taels of silver, which is too damn expensive! ”
Shen Ze smiled slightly, and pretended to be profound: "This son has his own wonderful use!" ”
…………
The reason why Shen Ze bought these saltpeters was to make ice, because he remembered the method of making ice from saltpeter that he learned in later generations.
Since saltpeter was bought, Shen Ze decided to test it first to see if saltpeter ice making was feasible. If it is feasible, this method of selling to those old Yuan will definitely make a lot of money.
After Shen Ze drove Huzi to the front yard, he picked up the wooden bucket and went to the well in the courtyard and fetched half a bucket of cold well water! Then I went to the kitchen and found a white iron basin, filled half a basin of well water and put it in a bucket.
Shen Ze still has to keep this method to make money, although these slaves in the family have signed a death contract, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not see this method cleverly sell for a lot of money, and they will not have different intentions. Is it Shen Ze who still strives to be safe, and personally comes to fetch water for experiments.
Belch...... Speaking of which, Shen Ze is becoming more and more corrupt, and now it seems that he can't do most things with his own hands, and he has more and more master's score!
Shen Ze put a few pieces of saltpeter into the barrel!
Soon the saltpeter reacted with the water in the bucket and began to absorb heat violently, and gradually thin stubble began to form in the white iron basin.
Shen Ze saw that this method was effective, and immediately added a few pieces of saltpeter to the wooden barrel, and the well water in the iron basin began to turn into broken ice.
If you want to make an iced fragrant drink, it will be very convenient to scoop a few spoonfuls of crushed ice at this time.
After Shen Ze put in a few more saltpeters, the whole basin of cold water has turned into a large ice cube, and it seems that the effect of saltpeter ice making is very good!
Hehe, this is another good way to make money!
At that moment, Shen Ze found a small cloth bag, filled a few pieces of saltpeter, turned around and went to the Yuan Ji Xiang Drink Store at the entrance of the street.
…………
In the Yuan Ji Xiang Drink Shop, Yuan Fugui, the shopkeeper, was lying on the counter and looking at the door boredly!
It was already afternoon, and the weather was getting a little cooler, and the business in the store was not too busy at this time, so he was very idle at this time.
This morning, in order to break the fortune and avoid disasters, he finally spent ten taels of silver to send Shen Ze away, he is still a little painful, and he is in a very bad mood!
Yuan Fugui was looking at the door in a daze, and suddenly a figure flashed at the door, and a scholar wearing a blue shirt and a square scarf was already standing in front of him.
When Yuan Fugui saw that outfit, he immediately felt ...... It's even worse!
This Yu Qingfang is not big, so there are not many talents, to be precise, there is only one, that is Shen Ze, who just made him break his fortune this morning. It's because of him Shen Ze, and there is a tremor in his heart, the person who comes is not good!
Since Shen Ze recovered his fame, like Yang Feng, he likes to wear the shirt that flaunts his fame.
As soon as he saw himself coming in, Yuan Fugui's face suddenly turned black into Zhang Fei, like a mournful examiner, and he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Old Yuan, what do you mean?" Why don't you want to see this son so much? Anyway, I cover your store too! ”
Yuan Fugui squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said: "Hey, look at Shen Gongzi, you are right, isn't the little old man happy to see you coming?" ”
Shen Ze scolded with a smile: "When this son is blind, you are happy, and your face is still so long?!" ”
Yuan Fugui listened to Shen Ze, and smiled more carefully: "Little old man, this is not a shoehorn face, the face is already long and ugly, and there is no way to do it!" ”
"Okay, let's not be bored, I have a good thing to do when I come to you!"
When Yuan Fugui heard this, he couldn't help but put on a sad face and said: "Shen Gongzi, the monthly turnover in this store of the little old man is only ten taels, and all the turnover this month is filial to you this morning, and I really can't take out the money to pay the protection fee anymore!" ”
"Hey, who do you think of this son? Ben Gongzi is also a talented person who reads poetry and books, how can he do such a tasteless thing as a ruffian and hooligan collecting protection money. Ben Gongzi is really here to give you a good way to make a fortune! ”
As soon as Yuan Fugui heard that Zhong Hao was not here to continue to blackmail him, a big stone fell to the ground first in his heart, and then he put on a smiling face and said, "I haven't asked for advice, I don't know what kind of way Shen Gongzi has to make a fortune?" ”
"Ben Gongzi has a method here that can make ice in the summer, and I plan to teach you! With my method, your fragrant drink shop will have less trouble picking and storing ice in winter, saving countless costs, and using my method to make ice, it is very clean, unlike your ice, which will eat bad stomach! ”
Originally, Yuan Fugui listened to Shen Ze's words, nodded frequently, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but hurriedly jumped up and said, "Shen Gongzi, the ice in Xiao Lao'er's shop is definitely clean!" "This matter must be explained clearly, otherwise I am afraid that I will be blackmailed to death by this Shen Xiu!
"Clean fart, put it in the ice cellar for half a year, all kinds of bacteria breed, how clean can it be?! Don't worry, that's over, is this son such a tasteless person? Can you still eat so much for your cold stomach, and it's endless with you?! ”
Yuan Fugui listened to Shen Ze's words, and couldn't help but be silent, although he didn't know what Shen Ze meant by bacterial breeding, but he also knew that the ice that had been stored for half a year was not so clean.
It's just that the ice used in the summer of this era is like this, even the ice in the palace, because everyone knows that the ice in this summer is like this, and he naturally claims that his ice is clean, otherwise how can this business be done?
