Seeing an ice basin in the private room last night, Mo Li asked Murong Chu, and he said that there was an ice vault in the backyard of Quanwei Building, and the ice cubes were put in it in the winter and left for the summer to relieve the heat.

Taking advantage of Lao Qiao's cooking, Mo Li and Er Shun followed the shopkeeper to the freezer, not to mention, this freezer is quite cleverly designed, a closed room, the super thick sandwich wall is stuffed with cotton wool, which plays a role in heat preservation, and it is stuffed with ice cubes, which is completely comparable to modern cold storage.

Originally, Mo Li just wanted to use ice cubes to serve vegetables, and saw that these ice cubes were clear and transparent, without impurities, which was exactly what she wanted, in this era, there are no chemical plants, no exhaust gases, and no radiation, whether it is well water, lake water, or stream water, you can drink it directly.

I heard the shopkeeper say that these ice cubes were taken from the lake in the backyard, and they were all picked in the middle layer, Mo Li liked this ice storage very much, and immediately asked Ershun to pick a load and send it to the kitchen.

There is no blender, so Ershun can only manually break the ice cubes, Mo Li dug a bowl of watermelon with a spoon, cut the melon pulp into very small grains, add honey and sugar with the ice cubes and mix well, a bowl of watermelon smoothie is ready, taste it, although it is not as fine as the ice cubes beaten by the blender, the taste is reasonable.

Ershun saw Mo Li nodding frequently, and couldn't wait to dig a spoonful: "Well, it's so delicious, it's even better than watermelon!" โ€

Yu Shopkeeper and Lao Qiao also came to taste, the conclusion is basically the same as Ershun, watermelon smoothie not only retains the original fragrance of watermelon, but also incorporates the sweetness of honey, the Xiaoice grains in the rustle, eat a bite in the hot summer, it is simply too cool not to want, a bowl of smoothie is almost instantly dried up.

"Ah...... Miss, "Er Shun was just about to call Ah Li, but he quickly changed his words when he thought of Lao Qiao's instructions before, "Miss, the guests will definitely like this kind of cold thing, are we going to use this as a signature dish?" โ€

Ershun is simple-minded, but Lao Qiao and Shopkeeper Yu both shook their heads and disagreed. This kind of thing seems fresh, but as long as you have eaten it, it is not difficult to make it, and I am afraid that it will be imitated by other restaurants in a few days.

Of course, Mo Li saw their concerns, and said with a smile: "Smoothies seem simple, if they are paired with exclusive secret sauces, the taste will be better, and other companies can't make them." โ€

"That's a good idea, but ...... this juice?" Yu shopkeeper groped his chin, feeling worried.

"Last night's rose, no, the rose cake wasn't made by Uncle Qiao, right?" Mo Li suddenly asked about the rose cake, which made the three people present stunned, wasn't he talking about smoothies? Why did you get the rose cake again?

"Shopkeeper Yu, go and find the master who makes the rose cake."

Mo Li spoke, and the shopkeeper immediately asked the guy to call a simple fat man.

"Miss, this is the big fat man who specializes in making dim sum in our Quanwei Building, others look at it, but the craftsmanship is not bad." Yu shopkeeper introduced.

Mo Li pulled Da Fat aside, muttered, Da Fat nodded frequently, and immediately took a non-jar: "Miss, this is the pickled rose petals, and I am the filling of the rose cake made with it." โ€

As soon as the lid on the jar was opened, a sweet fragrance came out of it. Da Fat took a spoonful from it, mashed the petals according to the method Mo Li told him, and soaked some honey and water and stirred well.

Mo Li tasted it: "It's okay, next time you can mash the petals first and then pickle, so that what comes out is directly sauce." However, this one sauce is not enough, and I will go back and study some other recipes, in addition to this flower sauce, you can also make jam from various fresh fruits, so that our smoothies will not be so monotonous. โ€

For Mo Li's whimsy, Lao Qiao and Er Shun are no stranger, but the shopkeeper Yu sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the prince would hand over Quanweilou to this little girl so easily, don't look at her young age, this idea is really a while.

A few people tinkered in the kitchen all morning, and at noon, the guy came in and whispered a few words to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper Yu arched his hand at Mo Li: "Miss, Master Mu is here, please go upstairs to the private room." โ€

Mo Li hurriedly cleaned her hands and asked Ruoping to take the paper she had drawn the night before and go upstairs.

As soon as he entered the private room and saw the two of them playing under the window, Mo Li couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you here too?" โ€

Murong Chu beckoned: "Come to me." โ€

Mo Li was very dissatisfied with this pet-like tone, but she could only sit beside Murong Chu obediently and watch the two play chess.

In the previous life, under the influence of his grandfather, Mo Li also had some experience in playing chess, and after sitting down for a while, he saw that Murong Chu was very gentle, but Mu Qingyun was very sharp, which was completely contrary to the style of the two.

But under Murong Chu's gentleness, he was hiding his killing moves step by step, which soon made Mu Qingyun only have the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back. Seeing that he was about to walk into Murong Chu's trap, he didn't know it.

"Here." Mo Li couldn't help it, and took a white piece from the chess basket in Mu Qingyun's hand and landed on the chessboard.

"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman." Although Murong Chu said this, there was not the slightest reproach in his tone, but a hint of surprise.

Mu Qingyun looked at the white zi that had just fallen on the chessboard, and then looked at Mo Li, who was quietly sticking out his tongue beside Murong Chu, and suddenly laughed twice: "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, Xiao Lili is not a man, so you don't have to be a gentleman." โ€

A game of chess had Mo Li's participation, and the two sides finally shook hands.

I haven't played chess for a long time, and a hearty fight makes Mo Li feel a little unsatisfied, although she can see that after she plays, Murong Chu obviously hides her strength, but being able to play against such a master still makes her very happy.

Murong Chu rubbed her head dotingly: "When do you have time to accompany Li'er a few more tricks, now...... I am hungry. โ€

Mu Qingyun pursed her lips in disgust, why did this sound a little coquettish?

Mo Li's ears were slightly red, there was not only Mu Qingyun, a super big lantern, in the private room, but also Ruoping and the little maid waiting on the side, she really wanted to say that she didn't know this thing.

Ruoping secretly covered his mouth, and in order not to be discovered by the master, he hurriedly went out and ordered the guys to take the dishes.

A table of sumptuous dishes was of course joined by the new dishes that had just been developed in the morning. The dishes were all served, and Mu Qingyun looked surprised: "Quanweilou has changed its cook?" Why haven't I seen these dishes before? โ€

Mo Li introduced the new dishes one by one, such as Bangbang chicken, boiled green bamboo shoots, shredded sweet and sour radish, and assorted cold dishes......

These dishes are not only pleasing to the eye, but also cool in taste, Murong Chu knows that his little girl will always surprise him, and the feeling of picking up treasures is getting stronger and stronger.

Mu Qingyun had already thrown aside the image of the handsome boy in the past, bombarded a table of delicacies, and ate until he couldn't eat anymore, and put down the chopsticks reluctantly.
