"Your grapes are solved, Yunmian is also solved, the business of the shop is very good now, you can live a rich and spacious life, by the way, remember to send the grapes to my house, and give you the money together." Lin Qianxun walked around for a while, and what should be prepared was also ready, she only needed to clean up the shop now, and it would be perfect to contact the purchase channel of materials by the way.

As for the temporary lack of manpower, she cultivates Cuicui, the little girl can eat and cook, and it is more than enough to be a chef, so she doesn't have to worry.

After Abeli's worries were resolved, he gave Lin Qianxun a basket of grapes with ease and joy, and sent her out of the shop affectionately.

Seeing the peony red gradually disappear from his sight, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Sister, Miss Xun is your friend?" Aberi's sister poked her head out and asked.

"It's my sister's friend, and it's also our family's great benefactor, Abe Yuan went to tell Abba, and said that Miss Lin wanted to buy grapes, and asked him to send them to the Lin house at the current price." Abe Li retracted his gaze, grinned and reached out to touch his sister's head, smiling and admonishing.

"Okay, I'll go." Abe Yuan looked happy, ran away like the wind, and after watching her sister leave happily, she came to the counter again and continued to stare at her clothes.

Helian Rui sat by the window, the smile on his face had not disappeared since he came back, and the attendants on the side were very puzzled.

"What good things happened to Childe today?"

"Naturally, I encountered a good thing, this girl is really a wonderful person, and she actually found a son and me to do business, do you say she is simple or scheming?" Helian Rui retracted his gaze and asked very curiously, although he was puzzled, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became larger and larger.

"Naturally, it's simple, I heard many people on the street say that there is a good girl in Guanshan, bought Kunnu, and adopted an unclaimed orphan, and the little one has also seen one or two sides of the girl, and it doesn't look like a girl with a bad heart, since it is a good thing to cooperate with the son, I think the girl has a flexible brain, maybe there will be a lot of novel methods." The little squire squinted his eyes slightly, and spoke slowly.

"Were you bought by Miss Xun and said good things for Miss Xun?" Helian Rui was still smiling, but her tone was a little imperceptible.

Lin Qianxun is a good girl, simple and kind, but Leng Chofeng occupied his body and caused her to lose her child, but he didn't complain and kept his mouth shut, was it because Leng Chopfeng was dead, or they took the opportunity to test themselves, not that he was too careful, but that the living environment made him have to guard against it.

"Where did Childe say, the little one followed Childe for twelve hours a day, and rarely went out alone, even if he went out, he did errands, and he couldn't see the girl looking for the girl in the forest house, but the little one wouldn't be mistaken, the eyes of the girl were clear, unlike those girls in Beijing, who were worldly and greedy." The little attendant explained a little bit, and he followed Helian Rui to meet many people, and he still knew how to observe words and looks.

"Yes, it's rare to see such a simple girl in the world, I hope this son's vision will not be wrong this time, you go to rest, tomorrow the girl will come to the post station, and I will discuss the contract, you go and prepare some food." Helian Rui stared at the teacup in his hand, but his gaze flew to the distant sky.

At dusk, a cart of crystal clear, steaming grapes was sent into the forest house, and the cold chopping wind who was eating was puzzled, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and turned his head to look at the adult man with a dark complexion and wearing ordinary linen clothes.

"Miss Lin, this is the grape you want."

"All delivered?" Lin Qianxun got up, took the handkerchief from Leng Qifeng's hand, wiped his mouth as he walked, and then looked down at the round grapes, and asked casually.

"Not yet, this one belongs to my family, Abe is afraid that Miss Lin will be in a hurry, so I will send a batch first, and the others will be sent tomorrow." An honest man, rubbing his face crampedly, exuding a thick restraint all over his body, and his facial expression was stiff.

"But, Kunnu came to bring in the grapes, and Lan Ya gave the silver." Lin Qianxun nodded with a smile, and then shouted into the courtyard.

It didn't take long for the tall mountain-like Kunnu to walk on long legs, three steps and two steps to a few people, they were the first time to observe Kunnu and others at close range, when they saw Kunnu alone picking up a cart of grapes, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, it turned out that Kunnu was so capable, but it was a pity that he had no money, otherwise he could buy a few, and the work at home would not be afraid.

Lan Ya held the money bag and came upside down.

"Girl, it's money." Lan Ya said with a smile.

"These are about five taels of silver, I'll give it to you first, and when I send the rest tomorrow, I'll end it together." Lin Qianxun took out two pieces of silver from the cloth bag, cushioned them with his hands, the weight was just enough, and then handed them over.

The man took the silver from Lin Qianxun's hand with a trembling hand, put it to his mouth and bit it without thinking about it, and then hid it in his heart with confidence.

"Then we'll go first, we'll be delivered on time tomorrow." The man spoke before leaving.

"Kunnu send them." Lin Qianxun turned around and went to the dining table as he spoke, and just sat down and asked Leng Qifeng.

"Xun'er, what are you buying these for, this thing is delicious, but it is not released."

"Wine, generally used to make cold drinks, tomorrow I will go to the pharmacy to buy some saltpeter back, make some ice cubes, and then use grapes to make cold drinks to eat, by the way, if you want to make wine, you have to buy sugar, Leng Yan you are free tomorrow, help me buy a few jars of wine, I use it." Lin Qianxun glanced at the people in the courtyard, the children were eating in the house, the rest of the adults were divided into two tables, Kunnu and his partners and Buck were one table, and the rest were Lin Qianxun and Leng Chofeng, Leng Yan and Fu Changqing.

"You mean to make wine, but also to make ice?" Fu Changqing, who remained silent, suddenly spoke.

As soon as the words fell, the three people present were stunned.

"yes, that's weird?" Lin Qianxun saw that the expressions of the three of them were very strange, some were surprised, some were curious, and some were a little frightened.

"Isn't that weird?" Leng Yan asked rhetorically, this ice is not only available in winter, the nobles of the family are all stored in winter for next year, and ordinary people can't afford ice, in their consciousness, ice is only available in winter, what is impossible to make their own ice, is Lin Qianxun really a fairy?

"It's nothing in our hometown, ordinary recipes for winemaking can be seen everywhere, ice is continuous all year round, how to do it, the conditions here are not met, you can only use saltpeter to make it, I will popularize the history of ice making in our hometown." Lin Qianxun said with a smile.

The system in her head rushed to help, so her narration didn't need to be so complicated.

The three people on the opposite side were sitting precariously, listening carefully to Fu Qingyan's ice-making history, and a crisp and weak voice gradually sounded in the courtyard.

"In my hometown, the history of ice making has to be pushed back to the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, people mined saltpeter in the production of gunpowder, and found that saltpeter dissolved in water will absorb a lot of heat, so that the water will cool down to freeze, since then, there is a method of ice making in summer. Later, the buyers and sellers gradually added sugar to ice to attract customers. In the Song Dynasty, there were more and more kinds of cold food in the market, and merchants also added fruit or juice to it, and even added fruit pulp and milk to ice, that is, you nobles often loved to eat cold drinks in summer. ”

In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo brought the method of making ice cream back to Italy and then to France. One of Queen Catlin's personal chefs developed and engraved a semi-solid ice cream with cream, milk and spices.

In fact, the industrious and intelligent Han people, as early as the Shang Dynasty, had the custom of hiding ice cubes in the ice cellar in winter and taking them in summer.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the government had officials who specialized in managing this matter, called "Lingren", and built "ice wells" with ice cellars. About this, "Poems

It is recorded in the Jing, Wei Zhi, and Song Dynasty Meeting. In the northern region, the ice is hidden in winter, and it is taken out in the summer of the following year, and it is awarded by the government

It is called "awarding ice" and "giving ice", which is an important part of the ancient government decree. The people also sell it in the market, and there are smart people who use planers

The real realization of artificial ice production began in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were already vendors selling cold drinks and cold food on the streets of Chang'an; During the Southern Song Dynasty, the ice-making technology became more and more mature, and the Han people had mastered the use of saltpeter to put ice water as a refrigerant, using milk as raw material, and stirring at the same time

It is condensed and then mixed with a variety of different flavors of fruit or fruit to create a delicious "ice cheese".

However, because of its high price, it was only available to the aristocracy and a few wealthy families at the time, similar to Häagen-Dazs today. The beautiful ice cheese has undoubtedly created a myth in the history of ice cream, food culture, and even human civilization, and from this point of view, its significance is far beyond today's Häagen-Dazs, it is a classic fashion, and it is a powerful manifestation of the splendid and long-standing Han culture.

This mentioned saltpeter many times. It is a kind of white bitter crystal, is a mineral, likes to stay at the foot of the wall at low temperature, the color is like frost, so it is also called "wall frost". When saltpeter is dissolved in water, it absorbs a lot of heat, lowering the temperature of the water and even freezing. So soon someone took advantage of this property of saltpeter to make an ice drink in the summer, dissolving sugar and a little spice in water, and then putting the water in a jar; Take a large plate, fill the dish with water, place the jar in the pan water, and constantly add saltpeter to the plate, as a result, the water in the jar freezes. Take a bite, it's cold and sweet, and it freezes straight into your stomach.

So in other words, why saltpeter is used to make ice, it can also be used as medicine, and no one usually uses these.

As soon as Lin Qianxun's words fell, Fu Changqing spoke.

"In other words, your hometown has also gone through several generations of dynasties to have your current good life?"

"My cousin is smart, my hometown Xiaoyao Mountain has a history and culture of 5,000 years, and the change of the imperial court is not an uncommon thing." Lin Qianxun is not shy about it, and he is outspoken.

"I see, you don't have to worry about your family?" Seeing that he was left out, Leng Chofeng hurriedly opened his mouth to find a sense of existence.

"The worry is certain, it was originally my parents who were here, and I didn't travel far, but I have already come, I have to do a big career before I can go back, otherwise I will be laughed at by my parents, let's eat." Lin Qianxun obviously didn't want to mention this topic, and quickly moved to another, only Leng Yan ate very casually and happily, and the other two had their own thoughts, and Lin Qianxun's eyes were staring at the grapes, probably thinking of some good way.

"Tomorrow Leng Yan will go to buy things, let Helian come directly to the Lin Mansion, you don't go out to wander around, it's about to be ambushed recently, and the weather is very hot." After eating, Leng Qifeng left the other two and came to Lin Qianxun's side and said.

"Okay, wash the grapes quickly, eat a little, and give the rest to the children, and more will be sent tomorrow, I will reserve a part, and some of them will be sent to the camp and distributed to those soldiers to eat, just as a piece of your heart." Lin Qianxun is too lazy to go out, not to mention the hot weather, and has to run around from time to time, it is better to sit at home, quickly clean up the decoration, and prepare to open in about half a month.

Seeing that Lin Qianxun was so well-behaved, Chop Feng reached out to hold her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and then whispered a word, and was glared at fiercely by Lin Qianxun, when he saw Lin Qianxun's fair face crawling with redness, he lowered his head and covered her soft lips.

After a short kiss, Leng Chofeng was satisfied with a small half of the box of grapes and Fu Changqing and others to go back to the camp temporarily, it is estimated that there is something, Lin Qian in the courtyard stretched out his hand to summon Lan Ya and others, signaling them to wash the grapes and send them to the children to eat, the rest has to be given to themselves a plate, and the rest is divided, Lan Ya and the others are happy, holding things and running away like rabbits, followed by a string of tails, chattering non-stop.

Da Hei was still lying lazily under the apricot tree, sticking out his tongue hotly, and not long after the meal, Buck brought the paper, said a few words, and left.

Lin Qianxun looked at his distant back, dazed.

The night wind hit the body with a heat wave, and I felt a little uncomfortable, Lin Qianxun didn't want to go back to the house so early, she sat next to Da Hei, looked up at the sky with her chin on her chin, the night sky, starry, from time to time you will see one or two naughty stars, blinking, I don't know if my parents are like this at home, whether they are scared or happy, they may still be busy, maybe time is stagnant, she just disappeared for a while, she thought about it for a while, she felt that there were too many mosquitoes, beckoned Dahei to go inside.

With food and sleep, the people in the forest house are already satisfied.

Early the next morning, Leng Yan sat in the forest house, eating a rich breakfast, looking at Da Hei gnawing on the bones from time to time, very curious about where he got the bones.

"Today's things are complicated, there are the purchase of saltpeter, sugar, wine, and the deed of sale of the two of them, I have already arranged the manpower, Kunnu will help you, as for the others have to stay at home, I see that the new two people are very skillful, just so I need such a person." Lin Qianxun peeled an egg and gave it to the little girl on the side, the food has been good recently, and the children soon became white and fat, not as thin and weak as a few days ago, and followed Buck to read and write, well-behaved and sensible, she didn't need to be instructed, she would do things on her own.

Whether it is literacy and reading, or doing farm work, she is well-behaved and obedient, and she is also relieved, as for Xiaohu, she also let down her guard, practiced martial arts and read, and was very busy.

"Yes." Leng Yan replied with a smile.

He is the only one to help with today's matter, and it is estimated that Leng Qifeng doesn't want more people to notice Lin Qianxun, because her methods and erudition make them deeply admired, and at the same time, they are even more worried, for fear that they will be known by that person, and they will have to make a fuss.

Leng Xinyi came a few days ago, maybe she will come back in a few days Zhu Xinyi, I feel a pain in my head when I think about it, in order to put an end to these troubles, Leng Qifeng specially explained.

"That's okay, Kunnu, you just follow the instructions." Lin Qianxun turned his head and said, Kunnu nodded.

After the meal, the two left, and the remaining two new Kunnu, Lin Qianxun gave them a simple name, Kun Qian, Kun Yin, all related to money, so that others felt that the more vulgar they were, the better.

The two people who went out turned two corners, and in one corner, sure enough, there was a larger pharmacy, and the pharmacy hung a simple signboard, but simply set up a few tables, which were estimated to be temporary resting for people seeking medical treatment.

Leng Yan sighed secretly in his heart, and then without waiting for the guy from the medicine store to greet him, he raised his feet and moved forward, Kunnu followed closely, walked into the small shop, and went straight to the medicine grabber.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was about to come over to say hello, but when he turned his head and saw Kunnu again, his face froze, but when he looked at Leng Yan, he suddenly smiled and greeted him, "What does Childe want." ”

Leng Yan is also a regular customer, last time Dr. Zhao was carried by him to see a doctor, he politely returned the salute, walked closer, swept his eyes, and then said two words.

Although the shopkeeper was stunned, he quickly smiled and went. Kunnu squinted at him coldly, not even thinking that he was a regular customer.

Waiting for the shopkeeper to come with a large bag of saltpeter, Leng Yan just said casually, and after paying the money, he raised his feet and left.

Later, the two of them ran to the wine store, the yamen, and some small shops, and when they returned home again, there were a lot of things on the ground.

"Bought them all?" Lin Qianxun raised his head from the table under the apricot tree and asked.

"Well, I've bought them all. How? Leng Yan wiped his sweat, and then gave the deed of sale of Kunyin and Kunqian to Lan Ya on the side, although Er Lanya didn't understand, the appearance of the deed of sale was still clear, and then he happily put it away, ready to put it in Lin Qianxun's few makeup boxes for a while.

"Cuicui, bring a basin of water." Lin Qianxun sat still and shouted into the kitchen.

"Here we are." Cuicui poked her head out of the window, and not long after, she came out with a basin of water, her steps were very large, and the water in the basin shook violently, and the water jumped out at any time.

"Put a small piece and try it." Lin Qianxun hasn't actually tried it, these are only theoretical knowledge, and I really don't know how to do it in practice.

"Okay." With a little uncertainty and expectation, Leng Yan took out a small piece of brown paper, and then put it down in everyone's expectant gaze.
