Recently, the weather has been very hot, only in May, and it has caught up with June in normal years, and it has not rained since the New Year. On a few plane trees in the yard, a few of them are weak and weak! A few flowers were also listlessly hanging their leaves, and the flowers were wilting, as if they had been beaten by frost!

Tian Fan is most afraid of heat, like in his previous life. You can wear more clothes when it's cold, but you can't peel off a layer of skin when it's hot, right? Although there were a few pots of ice in the house, it was still hot. After all, there is no air conditioning or anything, and there are no benches in the Han Dynasty, and the seats are all cushions similar to futons, which are placed on the ground, and people kneel on them, and the clothes are relatively thick, so they can't sit still. Although the cushions in summer are made of bamboo, it is really difficult to endure when the weather is so hot! Tian Fan couldn't help but think, it's only May, if it's July or August, how can it be boiled?

At noon that day, Mi Zhen came to see Tian Fan. After saying a few words, Mi Zhen complained about the heat. Also, at that time, there were more women's clothes, and when the weather got hot, it was really unbearable!

Tian Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, hehe, there is a trick! "Little Liu'er, is there any sugar at home?"

Xiao Liu'er replied: "Yes, son, but what do you want sugar for?" "Sugar, in modern society, is a general thing, everyone has a little, you can use it to make braised pork or something, but in ancient times, it was definitely a luxury. Generally, when rich people make a bird's nest porridge or white fungus porridge, they don't usually need it, and they are reluctant to use it.

"Don't worry about what you're doing, find me some! Oh, by the way, ask your big brother to bring me some ice, and a dagger and a clean basin! If you have any fruit or something, bring some too! Xiao Liu'er agreed and went out to get something.

Tian Fan was a little excited, walking around the room and waving his fists. Mi Zhen watched Tian Fan's movements, covered her mouth with her little hand and lowered her head to chuckle. She didn't know what Tian Fan was thinking: Hehe, shaved ice! I won't be afraid of summer in the future!

After a while, Xiao Liu'er and Tian Yi came back with their things, and their mother Zhang and younger brother Tian Kun also came over. The old mother entered the door before she entered the door, "Fan'er, what do you want these things to toss?" Tian Fan hurriedly went out the door, grabbed his mother's arm, and said: "Mother, the child suddenly wants to make something to eat to relieve the heat, I wanted to make it first and then enjoy it for your elder, father and brother Kun, but I didn't expect you to come with you." He turned his head to his younger brother Tian Kun and said, "Brother Kun, this thing made for my brother, it's cold to quench your thirst, cool down and cool down, you will definitely like it!" Hahaha. ”

When Tian Kun heard this, he came to his senses, grabbed Tian Fan's hand and shook it, and said anxiously: "Okay, good!" Big brother hurry up, younger brother can't wait! Zhang looked at the two brothers lovingly, and said with a smile: "This kid, can your brother still be without you?" Okay, wait a minute. Mi Zhen also hurried up to greet the ceremony, Zhang looked at this future daughter-in-law, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and took her hand and asked the east and the west.

Tian Fan said to Tian Yi: "Tian Yi, bring the things over and watch me do it!" ”

Tian Yi agreed, put the wooden basin on the low table, and took out a dagger and handed it to Tian Fan. Tian Fan took the dagger and began to scrape the ice cubes in the wooden basin. Tian Yiyi saw that Tian Fan was going to do this kind of work, and hurriedly said, "Childe, let's do it with me!" He took the dagger in Tian Fan's hand and scraped it, Tian Yi was so strong that the scraped ice chips flew all over the room. Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Oh, you tap, scrape slowly!" You've scraped ice chips all over the floor, how can I use them? Tian Yi agreed, and scraped it gently. Zhang and Tian Kun looked at all this curiously. After a while, a piece of ice weighing four or five catties scraped into half a basin of ice chips, looking at Tian Yi's vicious and unfinished look, Tian Fan hurriedly stopped. Mi Zhen chatted with Zhang, and looked curiously at the busy work here. …,

There are not many seasonal fruits in this season, only peaches, and apples stored in the cellar last year, Tian Fan asked Xiao Liu'er to process several fruits, wash them, remove the pits, chop them, and then add them to the pot, add sugar (to be exact, brown sugar, the white sugar at that time was yellow due to the relatively backward purification method), and then let Tang Yiyi stir these mixtures well. Half a cup of tea, you're done!

Tian Fan said to a few people: "I'll taste it first!" He took a clay bowl, scooped a little with a small wooden spoon, and put it in his mouth. Beauty! It's like returning to the previous life, in the scorching sun, eating shaved ice, it's really cool! Well, try one more bite and then take a third bite...... Mi Zhen looked helplessly at Tian Fan, who was enjoying herself, and her big talking eyes seemed to say: Brother Tian Fan, your brother is looking at you!

Tian Kun is a man of action, seeing that Tian Fan tasted endlessly, he stopped drying, grabbed Tian Fan's small spoon, scooped up a big spoon and stuffed it into his mouth, and then ...... This kid started jumping, covering his mouth! frightened Zhang, grabbed Tian Kun, and asked, "Kun'er, what's wrong?" Fan'er, what's wrong with Kun'er? Tian Fan hurriedly said to Zhang: "Mother, it's okay, Brother Kun is cold, this thing is really cold." Hey, little Liu'er, you go get a few spoons and let your brother taste them. ”

There were originally few people in the family, only Tian Fuyi's family was a subordinate, so there was no such heavy hierarchical division, and the old man and his mother were not strict with their subordinates, so the relationship between Tian Yi and their five brothers and Tian Fan was sometimes more like brothers. Although there were more servants in the family later, and the rules became bigger, as the original patriarch, the status of Tian Fu's family was equivalent to half of the master.

After a while, huhula, several came to Tian Fan's room, the old man Tian Liang also came, Tian Yi's father Tian Fu and mother Li also came, Tian Yi 2345 also came, the result of everyone's attempt is that it has always been thought that this thing is a good product to quench your thirst in summer! Tian Si proposed that this thing can be sold, it can be sold in the hotel, it can also be sold in the Qinglou, and when the guests are watching the song and dance, they hold a bowl of this thing, and eat it while watching, it is definitely a fairy who does not change! Well, Tian Si is very business-minded, after all, he is in charge of the hotel!

As soon as Old Man Tian finished cooling, he began to train Tian Fan, why don't you want to make progress, just do some useless things or something, anyway, this kid is not much different from a waste. Tian Fan is also immune, the old man is like this, from the day after Tian Fan woke up, he has been like this every day, and the old man in his previous life is also like this, as long as he is at home, he will be trained twice in three days. In fact, whenever the old man trained him, he still felt very warm, just like seeing his father in his previous life. At this time, Tian Fan took out the skills he had practiced when he was in college - the left ear went in and the right ear went out, you said yours, I think my heart, I just ignore it.

Zhang hurriedly persuaded him, how bad is it to not give his son face in front of his future daughter-in-law? She hurriedly pulled the old man out of the house, and said in her heart that she would let the children make trouble! The old man was also addicted, and followed Zhang out. Tian Fu and Li also followed the old couple out.

When the old man arrived at the door, he turned around and said, "Send me two more bowls in the house!" "Uh...... Tian Fan shook his head helplessly, this old man is really speechless. Tian Kun looked at his brother and stuck out his tongue gloatingly.

As soon as the old man left, everyone began to be active, although the old man was "amiable and approachable", after all, he was the head of the family, and everyone was uncomfortable here.

Tian Fan said to Tian Si: "Your eldest brother and your sister participated in the whole process of this thing, they should have learned it, and if they don't understand, you can find me again." I'll just say two things, first, this thing is easy to imitate, so the production method should be kept secret! In addition, if you want to do it, you can try to add some other materials, and we just want to do what others can't do. Well, when the time comes, all the materials will be broken so that others will not be able to see what the raw materials are. The second point is to focus on the high-end route, in this regard, you discuss with the Mi family, you can sell it in the restaurant, and then you ask the people of the Mi family to make an agreement with each Qinglou, so that they can buy our goods. You can give some for free first, let them try it, and collect money later. Uh, Zhen'er is here, hehe, do you have anything to add? Mi Zhen shook her head quietly. Tian Fan saw Tian Si's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked, "What's the matter?" You said. Tian Si replied: "Childe, everything else is easy to handle, but we don't have much ice!" He turned his head and glanced at Mi Zhen, and continued: "Even if you add the Mi family, there aren't many of them!" ”…,

yes, ice, that's a big problem. Tian Fan started to have a headache, what should I do? It's easy to have a chance to make a fortune and make a small fortune, do you want to give up? Tian Fan began to spin in circles again, the difference was that this time he frowned. Everyone looked at Tian Fan who was going around with some worry. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration! Tian Fan snapped his fingers handsomely, snap! "Tian Si, do you know nitrate?" Tian Si hurriedly replied: "Childe, I know, it seems that the Taoist priest used that thing to make alchemy!" "yes, that's it. Put nitrate in the water and the water will freeze! If you put less nitrate, it may not work, and if you put more nitrate, it may not taste good, so you can find someone to try it yourself! ”

Tian Siyi heard this, this is happy! "Okay, Childe, I'll find someone to try!" Tian Fan nodded, and Tian Si ran away happily! As soon as Tian Si left, Tian Yi and his brothers also left, and they were also curious about how this water turned into ice. Only Tian Fan, Mi Zhen, Xiao Liu'er, Tian Kun and Mi Zhen's two personal maids, Guizhi and Fangcao, were left in the house.

Tian Fan asked Mi Zhen, "Zhen'er, what do you think of this shaved ice?" Mi Zhen said: "It's good! As for business matters, you can just let Tian Si discuss with Ellu. ”

Nodding, Tian Fan said with some regret: "It's a pity, this thing can only be sold in summer!" ”

Mi Zhen said: "That's not necessarily, if you encounter a warm winter like last year, it is also very marketable!" ”

"Hehe, that makes sense, what Zhen'er said is, huh...... Well? What did you say? Was it warm last winter? Saying this, Tian Fan's face had changed.

Seeing Tian Fan's expression, Mi Zhen replied with some uneasiness: "Yes, it didn't freeze at all last winter. What's wrong, Brother Tian Fan, I'm ...... Am I saying the wrong thing? ”

Tian Fan hurriedly said to Mi Zhen: "Zhen'er, it's none of your business, I just thought of a problem, a big problem related to dozens of millions of lives!" Tian Fan stood up suddenly, and then said to Mi Zhen: "Zhen'er, I originally wanted to leave you to taste my craft tonight, but there is really a big matter, you go home first, I want to find a Tao envoy!" Mi Zhen stood up extremely uneasily and nodded in agreement.
