Chapter 497: Making Ice Cream

The flowing water banquet took nearly four hours to end, Zhang Xiaoxue looked at the time, and found that it was already 1:50 in the afternoon, which was nearly 2 o'clock.

After the banquet was over, after the guests left, Zhang Xiaoxue saw the third uncle Zhang Zhenhu accompanying the bride back to the bedroom, and behind them, there were some people watching the excitement.

Most of them are young men and women, and there are also some children, Zhang Xiaoxue naturally went to join a group, wanting to see if the groom and bride have any programs next.

But she followed behind a group of people, and before she entered the house, she saw the third uncle Zhang Zhenhu holding a large plate of candy and began to pick people out, and he was still shouting that the bride was tired and wanted to rest.

Haha, I didn't expect the third uncle to think about the world of two, and when they saw that the people who were picked up were also giggling, one person grabbed a handful of joy candy from the plate, and dispersed, and did not force it to stay in the house.

Zhang Xiaoxue said that she was a little regretful, and she didn't know how the bride and groom would communicate in the house during the day, because it was still early before the time of the cave room at night.

After eating the feast, the villagers also took the dishes and chopsticks they brought, and left after greeting one after another, leaving a mess on the table.

Zhang Xiaoxue saw that the eldest aunt and Zhang's mother, with Erbao and the three women who came to help, began to clean up the table, and Zhang Xiaoxue walked over to help.

Because there are a lot of meals cooked, some dishes are left, and I can't hold back in such a hot weather, so I don't keep too much at home, so I gave these leftovers to the three daughters-in-law who came to help, and each of them shared some.

When the three of them left, each of them carried a large pot of leftovers, although it was leftovers, none of the three of them disliked it, which can be seen from the smile on their faces, how they can't hide the upturned corners of their mouths.

Don't look at some leftovers, half of them are some meat, although they are mixed together, but it also makes them smile, today at noon at the banquet had a full meal, these afternoons directly at home do not need to cook, and can eat a good meal.

Zhang Xiaoxue's fourth uncle, two elder brothers, and cousins also came over to help out, and they did all the hard work of lifting the table and moving the stools, and returned the tables and stools borrowed from the villagers' homes one after another.

When Zhang Xiaoxue's family returned home, they all went back to their own houses to rest, and it was lively for a day, and after the end, a feeling of exhaustion hit the body.

And because of the hot weather, there was a thin layer of sweat on her body, and the sticky clothes were very uncomfortable on her body, Zhang Xiaoxue thought about it, and went into the farm, planning to take a bath in the pond.

Zhang Xiaoxue, who had taken a bath, felt that the cells in her whole body had woken up and were full of vitality, and on such a hot day outside the farm, she thought about it, so she simply made some ice cream by herself and ate it, just to relieve your cravings.

Although I haven't eaten it for a long time, Zhang Xiaoxue still remembers the steps of making ice cream very clearly, and after arriving in the kitchen of the leisure cabin, she took out milk, eggs, and sugar, and prepared to make some simple original ice cream.

By the way, I also called Bing'er, who was knitting a woolen sweater, and wanted to tell her about how to make ice cream, and if she wanted to eat it in the future, she could let Bing'er make it.

This ice cream is still very simple to make, but it requires patience, and because it also needs to be refrigerated, it will take a little longer.

Due to the refrigeration function of the dough mixer, the temperature can be adjusted according to your own wishes, and the lowest temperature can be adjusted to -100 °C, Zhang Xiaoxue set the temperature very low to -60 °C in order to make the ice cream quickly.

Zhang Xiaoxue did not go away when she refrigerated the ice cream, and after a while, she would stir the ice cream liquid, so that after it was done, the taste would be more delicate.

Remembering that it is so hot at home, there is also a lot of free space in the dough mixer, so I simply froze some ice cubes by the way, thinking that I would take them out later and put them in a clay pot, which will reduce the temperature in the house by a few degrees, and will also make the family more comfortable.

Therefore, after the ice cubes were frozen, Zhang Xiaoxue went out of the farm, took the clay pot with the ice cubes, went to the family's house, and put a pot of ice cubes in everyone's house.

Inevitably, the family will ask about the origin of the ice cubes, Zhang Xiaoxue also told them that she has the other party who can make ice cubes, and the family is very happy when they hear it.

Zhang's mother and Zhang's father also said bluntly that the current life is more comfortable than that of many wealthy families in the county.

In a small place like Huayuan County, there are few people who have ice cellars at home, and Zhang's father and they have only heard about this kind of thing before, but they didn't expect that they can enjoy it now.

When Zhang Xiaoxue heard Zhang's father mention the ice cellar, she suddenly remembered that their family could also dig a cellar.

In this way, not only can you not be afraid of being suspected by others when you have ice cubes in your home, but you can also store more food.

Not to mention anything else, now the family's pancake business needs a lot of food every day, and Zhang's father has to go to the grain shop in the town every other day to pull a large amount of grain back, and now their family is also a big grain collector.

If you encounter a bad year, you may not be able to buy food with money, and you don't dare to expect to grow these low-grade grains on the farm, which will slow down the upgrade of the farm.

Anyway, there are so many slaves in the family now, I believe that digging a cellar is not a trouble, when she thought of this, Zhang Xiaoxue excitedly told Zhang's father and mother about this idea.

Zhang's father heard his daughter say that she wanted to dig a cellar at home, not only to store grain, but also to explain the origin of the ice cubes in her house, and he also agreed very much.

The more Zhang's father thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter's idea was good, and he couldn't sit still in the house, so he went directly to the field to discuss this matter with the slaves in the field.

Digging a cellar also requires craftsmanship, but you can't dig it randomly, it will collapse, and this is a bloody lesson.

I heard the old people say that there were once people who envied the rich people who had cellars to store food, and in order to save money, they dug the cellars at home regardless of it, but there was a landslide, and people were buried alive in it and died.

Father Zhang wanted to ask the slaves in the family first, who would do this kind of work, if there was no one among so many people who could dig cellars, it was really not possible, so he went to the town to hire someone to do it, and the family could afford this money now.
