Chapter 133: Ice Offering (2)

"It's so hot and dry today, can you make that ice?" Li San smiled.

"Naturally, it can be made, I don't know if Your Majesty uses it to eat, or?" Xu Chen sat in the pavilion, a little uncomfortable, and when he heard the emperor ask, he said.

When Mrs. Qin Guo heard this, she obviously felt incredible, Xu Chen sat next to her, and asked, "Can you really eat this ice cube?" ”

In this era, especially in this season, ice cubes are indeed very rare, although Mrs. Qin Guo has a noble status, often goes in and out of the palace, and the ice cubes have been used to some extent, but the ice cubes stored in the palace are poisonous, most of them are used for refrigeration purposes, and it is obviously impossible to eat ice cubes.

I've heard Yang Yuhuan mention it a few times, but no one has tasted it in person, so it's naturally not very credible.

"I don't know what flavor Mrs. Qin Guo likes?" Xu Chen smiled.

For the two women in front of him, Xu Chen didn't have much disgust in his heart, and with his current identity, he wanted to mix in the court and develop his own power, to put it mildly, in case Yang Guozhong was really hostile to his little horse, these two women could play an important role.

If you can have a relationship with these two women, no, it is still necessary to develop a good relationship. So today, Xu Chen wants to show off his little skills, let these two women open their eyes, leave a good impression on themselves, and maybe they can help in the future.

Yang Yuhuan has helped Xu Chen a few times, although Xu Chen doesn't know what the purpose of this woman is, at least she left a good impression on Xu Chen.

When Mrs. Qin Guo heard Xu Chen's words, she was a little disdainful and said, "Even if this ice cube can be eaten, what other tricks can there be?" ”

"If you don't hurry up and make the horse, it's obviously losing our appetite?" Yang Yuhuan smiled, seeing how much this little colt boasted about, let him make it out first.

Since Yang Guifei spoke, Xu Chen left the table to get his own equipment, and called Gao Lishi for help.

Xu Chen asked Gao Lishi to find some desserts, and asked for some grapes, watermelons and other fruits, and some strange-shaped molds, planning to make an ice cream to open the eyes of the people.

Of course, it is not so easy, Xu Chen has also done research in this area, a small amount of saltpeter is difficult to condense the liquid of mixed substances, if you want to make ice cream, you must mix the raw materials of desserts evenly.

For Xu Chen, this is not a difficult matter, although he doesn't understand the method of making orthodox ice cream, but in his previous life, he had nothing to do and put some simple ice cream. However, the raw materials really have to be found by the tall manager, the desserts made in the palace, although Xu Chen has not eaten them, the raw materials must be of the highest quality, and today he also specially brought the equipment for making ice cubes, and the ice cream is also a matter of minutes.

There were a lot of saltpeter belts, and when Colliers sent a lot of raw materials over, Xu Chen got the equipment right, mixed the cheese-like dessert into the water and stirred it, poured the cooked milk into it and mixed it, and put in some sugar, and stirred it with hot water for more than ten minutes, and then completely mixed it into one.

Gao Lishi watched from the sidelines, asking Xu Chen some questions from time to time, and there were also a few eunuchs next to him, and Xu Chen ordered them to grind the fruit juice out.

After Xu Chen took out a small part of the mixed ingredients and put them into a simple funnel, he inserted a wooden stick, and then put it into a copper bowl filled with water, and then put the copper bowl into a large basin filled with water, and poured a small bag of saltpeter into the basin.

"Can you make ice cubes with these things?" Gao Lishi was also curious, and only after Xu Chen sorted out everything did he ask.

At the same time as Gao Lishi asked, the water in the copper bowl had begun to freeze, his eyes were a little flowery, and when he saw an incredible scene, he squatted down directly and looked straight into the basin.

The eunuchs next to him were also surprised, such an ice-making method was so simple, and the ice cubes were obviously pure, and they would definitely be edible.

After the water in the copper bowl froze, it was time to mix the ingredients in a simple funnel, and after a while, a small ice cream was born.

This is purely a super hodgepodge, it's really hard to say whether it's delicious or not, after Xu Chen took out the funnel, he took the wooden stick and pumped it hard, and he was immediately a little deflated, where is this like ice cream, the color is too uneven, it's just a mallet.

The appearance is really not good, Xu Chen took the cold mallet and said to Gao Lishi: "Do you want to taste it?" ”

Gao Lishi was just curious, and the appearance was really ugly, and even a little disgusting, he would definitely not dare to eat it, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The old man can't stand the cold these days, come, come and taste it!" ”

As he spoke, he called a eunuch next to him to do the experiment, and the eunuch also took it with a bitter face, stared at it for a long time and didn't dare to take a bite, so after Gao Lishi glared angrily, he took a bite very reluctantly.

Originally, he was crying and mourning, but it turned green in an instant, Xu Chen could guess when he saw his expression, no, these raw materials are all high-quality desserts, no matter how unpalatable they are, they are better than dregs, right?

"It's delicious!"

The eunuch's originally green face was full of surprise.

It's too exaggerated, the sycophant is too disobedient, Xu Chen just snatched it and took a bite from the low side, not to mention, the taste is really good, although it doesn't have the authentic ice cream to ask, but it also tastes the fragrance of ice cream.

Only then did I know that this eunuch was not performing again, this heartfelt green face may be congenitally malnourished, the more excited he is, the greener he becomes, or he can understand "It's so delicious!" Where have these people eaten this thing, this taste alone has conquered this green-faced eunuch, everyone has seen ice cubes, but normal people don't eat that thing in winter, and now he tasted a bite of special sorbet in the hot weather, and his exaggerated acting skills can be fully understood.

Gao Lishi waited for Xu Chen to taste it, his expression was not bad, and coupled with the exclamation of the eunuch just now, he couldn't bear it, took it from Xu Chen's hand, and took a bite.

You can see the dilated pupils, the combination of surprise and excitement, the interaction of amazement and the old face, but in the end, all that comes out is a faint smile on the face, plus a sentence, "Well, it's not bad." ”

This ice cream just now was just an experiment, and the effect was good, but the appearance was too ugly, but Xu Chen was not a pastry master, and he didn't have any attainments in this area, so he would eat it.

The next thing is to make a sorbet from the ground watermelon juice alone, grape juice is no exception, this simple juice, the appearance is still good, and the taste is even better (interested students can try it, I tried it, it's very cool!). )。

After about half an hour's effort, more than a dozen pieces of various sorbets were made, and then it was time for Xu Da Ma to pretend to be forced
