As soon as Du Xuanmo heard that Shen Shimei had a way, he asked: "You talk about it first, if you can do it, you will make meritorious service!" "He has always been very confident in Shen Pomegranate's method!

Shen Shiliu said: "You find the rich squires in the county to pick it up!" ”

"Huh? Those rich squires are like iron roosters one by one, it is estimated that they are all bloody, so where are they willing to lend money to the government? Du Xuanmo felt that there was little hope, the reputation of the yamen had always been not good, and the people might not believe that the money "borrowed" by the yamen would really be repaid one day.

Shen Shiliu thought for a while and said: "Give interest, the paperwork is also clearly written, it's really not good, just create some public opinion, let them know that lending money to the government is a reliable thing!" ”

Du Xuanmo listened, and finally said, "Then I'll spread the news to Kyoto City and see if the top can nod." "This matter is not something he can solve alone, after all, it involves interest, and this money can only be allocated by the court with a nod.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "It's best to write down the appropriate amount of calculated interest, and have a budget!" ”

Du Xuanmo smiled and nodded: "Pomegranate, you are really my lucky star!" ”

Shen Shiliu felt that knowledge is wealth, and this sentence was really not wrong!

As soon as Du Niangzi came, she saw that Du Xuanmo's complexion had almost recovered, and her heart was relieved. After breakfast, the mother and son went straight out of the restaurant, and the pedestrians on the street came and went, but they didn't notice the mother and son.

As soon as the villager who delivered the food came in the morning, Shen Shiliu got busy, pulled the villager and asked, "Where can we get ice cubes here?" ”

"Ice? It's not hard to find, and generally rich families will prepare ice cubes in summer, so there are special ones for sale! After speaking, the fellow pointed in the direction.

With the guidance of his fellow countrymen, Shen Shiliu finished his morning work and hurried to find ice.

When he arrived at the place pointed out by the fellow, Shen Pomegranate asked what the price of this ice cube was.

"Our ice cubes are all good, even the water used is clean well water, and many big households in the county use our ice." The boss is trying his best to sell, the boss is mainly a grain and oil store, and the ice cubes are sold with them, and they are usually put in the cellar and can be stored for several years.

Shen Shiliu followed the boss to the ice cellar to take a look, the ice cubes looked quite clear, and the water quality was estimated to be fine, so he said: "Boss, I want 20 ice cubes, and I'll pick them up in a few days." ”

The boss should say: "Okay, it's going to be done one day!" ”

When Shen Shiliu chatted with the boss, he learned that the ice cubes in the boss's house were not local.

They can't freeze it outdoors in winter, so the boss brought it back from the north to store it.

"The climate here is somewhat similar to Beijing, and it is estimated that the temperature in the north can reach that of Heilongjiang." Shen Pomegranate muttered.

After going home, Shen Shiliu talked to Shen's father, and Shen's father pondered that they had few people, so he went outside to find two helpers.

One afternoon, a cellar was dug with wood.

Shen Pomegranate went down to take a look, the entrance of the cellar was a wooden ladder, built with square bricks, and there were wooden planks and wooden pillars on top, and the safety performance could be guaranteed.

"Twenty ice cubes, do you have to spread them with something?" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, Zheng handed down a large piece of oilcloth from above, and Shen's father and the two masters used the wood under him to order a large shelf.

"Okay, just like that, the masters will also go up, and we'll have a good meal in a while!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile that the ice cubes will be transported back tomorrow by board truck!

Early the next morning, while the sun was still not poisonous, Shen Shimei, Shen's father and Zheng Erzhu went out to transport ice. The cart is not very large, and it can transport six or seven ice cubes at a time, and it takes three trips to transport twenty large ice cubes back.

The cellar itself was cold, and as soon as the ice cubes were placed, the whole ice cellar was like an ice hole.

"This temperature is okay, don't forget to close the cellar door on weekdays, it is estimated that it can be stored for a long time!" Shen Pomegranate has already come up with ice cubes, and the weather is getting hotter, so I want to study the new menu.

Shen Pomegranate held a pen and paper at night to make a gesture, thinking about how to come up with a cold drink that people imitate but can't surpass.

In the past, Shen Pomegranate especially liked to eat canned strawberries and ice cream, but now the ingredients are limited, and she can touch the fruit in her hand and others can touch it, so people can't imitate it.

Shen Shiliu thought of a few menus, slept very late, and went to the vegetable market early the next morning.

Some days did not come to the market, the market is still lively, as the weather heats up, the economy also has the meaning of rebounding, but the food is still in short supply, but everyone is selling the first crop of vegetables they grow.

"Boss, how do you sell these plums?" Shen Shimei asked, Qingmei, who had just come down, looked verdant and dripping.

The boss said a price, and said: "The ones here are cheap, and the girl has to come here to pick the ones if she wants to eat something sweeter!" As he spoke, the boss pointed to the basket on the right that was redder.

Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this green plum good?" ”

"It's not good, it's very sour, it's generally pregnant mothers-in-law who like to eat a few, others are sour, and they have to wrinkle their noses when they lick it! I picked out this box from the good ones, and I'm going to throw it away in a moment! What the boss said was very realistic, but it also gave Shen Shiliu a new idea.

"Boss, I want all of your baskets!" Shen Shiliu said.

The boss was stunned: "Hey, little girl, you can't eat this stuff, right?" ”

"It's okay, the boss will give me a title!" Shen Shiliu said.

The people here don't even know the role of Ome!

Think about a pack of dried sour plums in a modern supermarket for a few dollars, but the green plums here are all things that no one wants?

Nobody wants her!

The boss was stunned and said, "You don't need to weigh it, if you want it, just give me ten cents for these!" ”

Shen Pomegranate looked at how a basket had to have more than 20 catties, ten cents was too valuable!

Shen Pomegranate gave the money, poured all the green plums into his vegetable basket, and continued to shop, one morning, the harvest was quite rich.

Zheng looked at the strange shape of the things that Shen Pomegranate bought, so he asked Shen Pomegranate, "What is this?" And this green plum, it's sour when you look at it, what are you doing here? ”

Shen pomegranate came out the same and said: "This is milk, this is green plum, this is loquat, this is melon, fruit and peach!" Once everything was laid out, she started working on the menu she had in mind.

The milk needs to be beaten into cream, but it is difficult to beat it directly, and it is also milk foam, so just find a secluded corner and let it stand.

"What's the use of that?" Zheng felt curious, and didn't know what Shen Pomegranate was going to study.

Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "Mother, just wait, I guarantee that it is delicious!" ”

Zheng scolded with a smile: "It's also a sale!" But she also didn't doubt Shen Pomegranate's thoughts, Shen Pomegranate had always been able to study.

Shen pomegranate washed all the green plums and salted them in a jar, and when the surface of the green plums was pumped, he poured water and put the jar and milk together.

All the melons, fruits, pears and peaches were put in the cellar, and a place was found that would not freeze and be kept for later use.

Zheng saw that Shen Pomegranate was all tossed, so he said: "I look at that plum and I have straight teeth, and I don't know what you use it for!" ”

"Pickled, it's delicious!" Shen Pomegranate replied with a smile, but the pickling process is not easy, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two to produce the finished product, but it will be August by then, so it is just right to take it out and eat it!

After a busy day, Shen Pomegranate went to see his own milk.

The milk here is real milk, without any additives, not even water. Shen Shimei took a look at the restaurant, and there was already a hard skin on it, so he directly covered the restaurant, regardless of 2721.

After pouring it out, the coagulation on it became a paste, and the liquid below was a little clear soup and clear water, but Shen Pomegranate was not willing to throw it, this is skim milk, and it won't get fat after drinking it!

After everything is "separated from the quality wall", Shen Pomegranate will be put down again, and the rest is tomorrow's process.

Qingmei also fished it out, found a board, put it in the yard after it was placed, and exposed it to the sun for a few days.

The next day, Zheng Erzhu watched Shen Shimei holding a big bowl, and also took four or five pairs of chopsticks tied unevenly and stirred.

"Pomegranate, what are you doing here?" Zheng Erzhu asked, to be honest, he had always felt that Shen Shimei behaved strangely and behaved strangely, and he always studied something he had never seen before.

Shen Pomegranate smiled: "Make cream!" "She keeps stirring in her hands, and if she has an egg beater, she can probably save a lot of effort.

Zheng Erzhu didn't know what the cream was, so when Shen Pomegranate was tired of stirring, he asked Zheng Erzhu to get on it, and the two took turns beating the cream.

As soon as the noon meal came up, the two of them were busy, and after the busy work, there was a stirring again, and Shen Shiliu pondered that if this thing could be popular here, it was estimated that he would have to study the tools.

In the afternoon, Shen Pomegranate put the better cream in the cellar and froze it into ice cream, because there are no additives, although the ice cream is not as good as the modern process, but it is well seasoned, and it is estimated that everyone can eat it fresh.

In the evening, Shen Pomegranate boiled the harder fruits, put them on the frozen ice cream with some fresh fruits, poured fruit juice, and drizzled a little honey, and finally served them on the table.

Father Shen had never seen this thing, and it looked like it was boiled sweet fruit, but he really hadn't seen what was white underneath.

"Why does this thing look so good?" Zheng felt that it was a novelty, the fruit was boiled crystal clear, and the color was also bright, and he felt that he had begun to drool at a glance.

"Taste it!" Shen Pomegranate pushed the finished fruit ice cream forward, a total of four bowls, one bowl per person, she not only had to listen to the opinions for a while, but also had to have a feedback herself.

Zheng Erzhu took a big bite when he picked it up, but as a result, he screamed as soon as he took a bite: "Ice teeth!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Isn't it ice teeth!" Frozen out! ”

Zheng Erzhu feels that he has found a new world, although he has ice teeth, it is fragrant and sweet in his mouth, he has never eaten such a good thing since he was a child! I didn't see the ice, why is it still so cold?
