In the first year of Zhenguan, the fifth day of the eighth month.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the trees in the distance knew that there was a constant chirping, and the construction area of the Chengdong Stadium was hot at this time, hundreds of slaves were constantly carrying stone bricks and mixing cement, and the urban management foreman was holding a leather whip in his hand, smoking those lazy slaves. After more than ten days of work, the general appearance of the stadium will now be slightly shaped, and the outermost circle is surrounded by a layer, covering an area of more than 20 hectares.

"It's hot, my air conditioner!" Xu Yang complained in a pergola at the construction site on the east side of the city.

A girl in a dress on the side, while fanning her fan, comforted Xu Yang: "Brother Xu Yang, look at those people who work on the construction site are not too hot~ You will just take a moment~ Who told you to come to be an overseer today~"

Xu Yang patted his head and said regretfully: "I really shouldn't have come, it's really no, die." They weren't too hot because they hadn't been in an air-conditioned room."

Before Liu Mengli could ask what an air-conditioned room was, a shout seemed to come from far away: "Childe! Here comes the saltpeter you wanted! ”

Xu Yang slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Liu Qi, you kid is finally here!" With that, he pulled Liu Mengli and ran towards the pergola.

Out of the pergola, the bright sun outside was dazzling, Xu Yang saw the young man pedaling the bicycle in the distance, and the bicycle drove quickly in front of Xu Yang.

Xu Yang stared at the two large baskets hanging on both sides of the bicycle with straight eyes, and said, "Did you bring water and ingredients?" ”

I saw the little boy who came by bicycle, panting and said, "Don't worry, son, ten people!" ”

Xu Yang patted the little boy on the shoulder, "You kid did a good job!" Liu Qi, who praised him, smirked.

"Hurry up, put all these things under the pergola." Xu Yang commanded.

The two of them worked together and moved the two large baskets under the pergola.

There was a boxy table in the pergola, Xu Yang made it down, and then opened the two baskets, only to see that one basket had four large glass cups, two large and two small. , and four spoons, and then four large bottles of water, a bag of goat's milk, a fruit knife, and a big bag of powdered things. In another basket was a strange iron container with a shaking handle on it, and a lot of fruit, pears, oranges, melons, etc.

"Wow Ka Ka, look at my brother coming to make authentic Taiwanese shaved ice for you today!" Xu Yang said excitedly.

Liu Qi and Liu Mengli both looked at Xu Yang's operation with a novel expression.

I saw Xu Yang take out the fruit knife, hand it to Liu Qi, and say, "Seven, peel all the fruits in that basket." ”

"Okay~" Liu Qi turned out to be a fruit knife and began to peel the fruit skin on the side, Xu Yang does not eat fruit skin, this is something that everyone in the Liu Mansion knows, and later caused a trend, and now the Liu family does not eat the skin of fruits.

I saw Xu Yang take out four glasses, two large glasses were placed underneath, two small ones were put inside, and began to pour water into it, pouring about seven full water, Xu Yang felt that it was almost, and then carefully took out a small handful of saltpeter from the big bag.

Speaking of saltpeter, this is a lot of Xu Yang's brain, as we all know, China since ancient times only three places produce more nitrate, among them, Sichuan is called Sichuan nitrate, Shanxi is called salt nitrate, Shandong is called soil nitrate.

The source of saltpeter here in Xuyang is almost all the soil nitrate of Shandong, originally Xu Yang was going to use the legendary ratio of 'one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal' to make great explosives and develop firearms, but later Xu Yang found that he thought too much, the level of craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty was so low that even a hollow stainless steel pipe could not be made, let alone a gun.

So Xu Yang is still vigorously developing the level of technology, and the saltpeter collected here is used to make ice.

Xu Yang took out a handful of saltpeter and sprinkled it in the two large glasses, which shocked Liu Mengli and Liu Qi, only to see that the water in the glass outside began to slowly emit white smoke, and then there was a violent reaction, a thin layer of ice began to appear in the large glass, there was a lot of saltpeter, the reaction continued, the violent endothermic reaction made the surface of the ice constantly emit white mist.

In a short time, the water in the two large glasses had all frozen, and even the water in the small glasses had frozen.

The temperature in the pergola has also dropped a bit.

"Childe is really a fairy!" Liu Qi looked at Xu Yang with admiration on his face.

"A little stone into gold, a little water into ice, Brother Xu Yang, he is really an immortal~" Liu Mengli also looked at Xu Yang with little stars in his eyes.

"Eh" Xu Yang didn't expect that a casual chemical reaction would make these personalities worship him, but think about the time when he was teaching Wang Er, the chef of the Datang Hotel, to make ice, his expression was really similar to the two in front of him now, and it would be good to use this saltpeter to turn water into ice in the future to fool the ignorant ancients. Xu Yang touched his chin and didn't explain anything.

"Is the skin peeled?" Xu Yang asked.

"Alright, alright." Liu Qi hurriedly brought a plate of peeled fruit to Xu Yang.

"Hmm." Xu Yang nodded.

He took out the iron container with a handle from another basket, and when he opened it, there were several sharp knives inside.

"It's called a blender, you know?" Xu Yang pointed to the thing in his hand, and said that he didn't care whether Liu Mengli and Liu Qi could understand it or not, and he was busy.

He poured all the ice cubes from the two small glass cups into the blender, then poured the peeled fruits into it one by one, and finally poured the bag of goat's milk into it.

Seeing that Xu Yang was working so hard, Liu Qi asked, "Childe?" Or shall I come? ”

When Xu Yang heard this, he said happily: "Okay, you just turn around like me." ”

Liu Qi turned the handle vigorously, turning faster and faster, and after about two minutes, Xu Yang said, "Okay." ”

Liu Qi stopped sweating profusely, it was really hard to turn this thing.

Opening the iron container, Xu Yang poured the 'shaved ice' from the 'blender' into two small glasses.

I saw that what was poured out was snow-white ice, the ice cubes were mixed with fruit sardines, red, yellow, powdery, and white looked extremely delicious and moving, Xu Yang took out two spoons, inserted them into the shaved ice, and handed the two cups of white shaved ice to Liu Mengli and Liu Qi respectively.

Liu Mengli took it with a blushing face, but Liu Qi said with some sincere fear: "Son, you can't help it, you are a little slave like this!" ~" Liu Qi tried his best to shirk and refrain from eating.

Xu Yang looked at Liu Qi with some anger and said, "Eat, this is an order!" ”

Liu Qi reluctantly took the bowl of shaved ice.

"Taste it~" Xu Yang looked at the two of them and said.

Liu Mengli couldn't wait to dig a spoonful with a spoon and slowly put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~~~" She slowly closed her eyes and made a surprised sound, the coolness of the ice cubes dispelled the scorching heat, and the colorful fruity flavors of those fruits in the refreshing continued to stimulate her taste buds, and her lips and teeth enjoyed the beauty of the ice's fragrance, sweetness, fineness, coolness, and fragrance, and a silky fragrance bloomed in the mouth, Liu Mengli knew that this was the taste of milk.

"Ahh It's so delicious! Liu Mengli is like a child who has just eaten shaved ice in the future, and she can't stop being excited at all.

Liu Qi on the side was also stunned after taking a small bite, he had never eaten such a delicious dessert since he was a child.

"Hahaha~" Xu Yang saw that Liu Mengli and Liu Qi were very happy eating, laughed a few times, turned around and made a cup of shaved ice again, and ate it himself.

A spoonful of shaved ice just entered the mouth, a slight fishy smell made Xu Yang frown, Xu Yang knew that this was a problem with goat's milk, the smell could not be removed, although it was already very good on the whole, but this flaw still made Xu Yang a little regretful, and the next time he got the milk, this problem could be solved.
