"Ice is extremely difficult to preserve in summer, only in winter when you go to the river to take half a meter of ice thick, put it in the cellar to have the possibility of preservation," Wang Qi said: "And the ice taken is not easy to preserve in the cellar, almost half of it can be melted, so ice is very expensive in summer, even in the palace can not be used in unlimited quantities of ice, not to mention the folk, in the folk summer can be used to raise ice, at least it is also a family property of hundreds of thousands or even millions of rich families." ”

"Uh..."Ye Ming was dizzy when he heard this, and asked: "Can the lady say it in layman's terms, such as how much can a pound of ice cubes sell?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know," Wang Qi shook her head: "No one has ever sold ice in the summer." ”

"Oh?"

Ye Ming's eyes lit up, no one has ever sold it, isn't this that he can sell as much as he wants?

Oops, this is the rhythm of getting rich!

Thinking of this, Ye Ming said excitedly: "Lady, you said that if we go to the county seat to sell ice, can we make money?" Will anyone buy it? ’

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Wang Qi raised his head and asked suspiciously: "The concubine said that summer ice is difficult to preserve, and there is no place to get it, what does Xianggong mean by this?" ”

"No, no, no, lady, answer me first, if you go to the county seat to sell ice, can you make money?"

"This is natural," Wang Qi said: "The concubine dares to guarantee that if there are people selling ice in the county, then there will definitely be a lot of people who buy it, and they will definitely be able to make a lot of money, at least those rich families will definitely buy it!" ’

"That's it!" Ye Ming slapped his face and said, "Lady, let's make ice at home, and then take it to the county town to sell it, won't we have the money for eating and doing business?" ”

"Ice-making?" Wang Qi was surprised when she heard this, she opened her small mouth with an incredible expression: "Xianggong... What do you mean... Can you make ice in the summer??? ”

"Hehe," Ye Ming smiled: "I like to study some new things, I used to have a higher method of making ice when I had nothing to do, I originally wanted to keep it for myself to play, but now it is so difficult here, if I can take it out to make money, it is very good." ”

"How do you make ice?"

Wang Qi's interest was aroused, and she also had a trace of expectation in her heart. Just like Ye Ming said, if you can sell ice cubes in the hot summer, then you don't have to worry about no one buying them, but worry about whether there are enough ice cubes prepared and whether the price is high enough!

"Is there any saltpeter sold in the county?" Ye Ming asked with a deep groan.

Regarding the problem of saltpeter ice making, Ye Ming learned from Chen Yun's memory, Chen Yun used to read some scientific magazines when he was on earth, and this method was seen from scientific magazines, and Chen Yun also personally experimented with it, which was very effective.

"Saltpeter? Xianggong asked why is this? Wang Qi said.

"First of all, do you want to say that there is any saltpeter sold in the county?"

"Yes, saltpeter is one of the raw materials for making fireworks, and it is not a valuable thing in the county, but it is very cheap, I don't know what Xianggong wants to do?"

"Saltpeter has a great effect, in addition to making fireworks, it can also make ice!" Ye Ming smiled mysteriously, and pushed the broken silver in front of Wang Qi: "That's it, hearing is false, seeing is believing, bother the lady to go to the county seat to buy some saltpeter and come back, I'll show you." ’

Wang Qi glanced at Ye Ming, saw Ye Ming's confident expression, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, then the concubine will go to the county seat to buy some back." ’

"By the way, buy a few more ceramic pots and come back, they should be of different sizes."

"The concubine knows."

Out of the house, Wang Qi looked at his sister who was sulking outside under the tree, and said, "Sister, you accompany me to the county seat." ’

"What?" Wang Qi asked unhappily.

"Go buy some things for Xianggong."

"Xianggong..."Wang Qi pouted: "Sister, Ye Ming is an ordinary person who is not diligent, do you really regard him as your father-in-law?" Is he worthy? ’

Wang Qi smiled: "Why did my sister say this, I feel that Xianggong is not an ordinary person." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"For the time being, I can only say that it is intuitive, but soon you will be able to see it, let's go, it's so hot, let's go early and come back early."

...

In the county seat, seeing that her sister spent 20 copper coins to buy 20 catties of saltpeter, and spent 10 copper coins to buy two ceramic basins of different sizes, Wang Qi looked confused.

"Sister, why did you buy saltpeter and pots? How nice is it to have this money to buy food? ”

"That's what Xianggong needs." Wang Qi said: "He said that he could make money with this. ”

"Make money?" Wang Qi continued to be confused, she couldn't figure out what money these two things could make even if she wanted to break her head.

"Let's go, we're done buying, we should go back."

"Oh." Wang Qi nodded, but when she saw the bun shop across the street and smelled the fragrance coming over, her stomach suddenly growled, and the sound was not small, attracting several passers-by to look here, which made her face blush suddenly.

Wang Qi looked at her sister's embarrassment, sighed in her heart, and said, "Sister, bear with me for a while, and when we have money, we won't be hungry." ’

"Money. By the way, sister, this money should be given to you by Ye Ming, since he has the money to buy saltpeter, then he should also have the money to buy food, let's not..."

"No way!" Wang Qi directly refused: "Xianggong asked me to buy only these two things, I can't use his money to buy something else without his consent, don't say anything more at this time." ”

"But you've called him Xianggong, isn't his money your money?" Wang Qi didn't understand.

"Xianggong..."Wang Qi shook his head with a wry smile: "Sister, you don't understand." ”

"Don't understand? What do I not understand? Since we robbed his people, then his money is naturally ours, what is there to hesitate, sister, you are too forward-looking and backward-looking, so you are embarrassed by the second uncle and them everywhere, if it were me, they would have done this to us, I would have beaten them out of the village a long time ago! ”

"Okay, as a woman, what kind of system do you have to shout and kill every day, and how will you get married in the future? Say no more about it, go home! ”

...

Looking at the sisters who came back, one had a calm face, the other had a look of indignation, and Ye Ming looked confused, what's wrong?

"Xianggong, the saltpeter and porcelain basin you asked for have been bought." Wang Qi put the things in place and said, "What should I do next?" ”

Ye Ming smiled, picked up two things and said, "It's too hot outside, go inside and watch Xianggong make a trick for you!" ”

Magic?

Sister Wang Qi looked at Ye Ming who was walking towards the house, and immediately followed curiously.

In the house, Ye Ming first took water to brush the two porcelain basins, put the small porcelain basin in the large porcelain basin, added 2/3 of the water to the large and small porcelain basins, and then pulled a stool and sat down, while constantly pouring saltpeter into the large porcelain basin, he said: "Wait a while, wait a while is when a miracle happens!" ’
