Chapter 510: Freezing Point in Hot Summer

Besides, like her, who is like duckweed, rootless and bottomless, even if she is let out, what kind of family can she marry? It's just the poor people living at the bottom, struggling to fill their stomachs every day.

It's like now, although she is a subordinate of Yufu, she is in charge of the size of the pharmaceutical workshop, and she has an independent yard in the workshop, and there are a few little girls in the yard who are doing miscellaneous things such as sprinkling and cleaning. It can be said that although she is a maid, her life is no worse than those small jasper.

When the age is up, find an honest and reliable one, the focus is on a loyal steward to marry, and continue to help the young lady manage the affairs of the pharmaceutical workshop. Miss is kind and affectionate, and when she gets old, she will definitely not treat her badly. Thinking about the days before being sold into the house, the whole family only lived on rice bran and wild vegetables, and she didn't know what it was like to have a full meal, she was very satisfied and grateful.

Wutong waited on the side, looking at the cherry that was talking eloquently, and the willow who was quite successful in his heart, compared himself, and gradually relieved. What the young lady said is good, how much ability and how much to do. With her character, if she is allowed to manage the workshop of dozens or hundreds of people, she may not be able to control it.

Cherry is bold and careful, decisive, and keeps the pharmaceutical workshop in good order, and there is a tendency to do more and more. Yang Liu is very talented in cooking and pastry, and has a kind of drilling, if she is a pastry shop, she will definitely be able to make a splash. There is also He Chun, although the latecomers are on top, and they are amazingly talented in making handmade soaps and skin care products.

There is a reason why these people are reused by their masters. She used to only know that she was jealous of others, and she was depressed about her own disambition, and she never found the reason in herself. Now think about it, what can Miss do if she gives herself a chance? Or stay by the young lady's side honestly, serve her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and take care of the things in the yard. That's what she's good at!

The young lady said that she lacked a trustworthy steward who could see the whole house. Well, she will work in this direction. Although she can't work hard for Miss outside, she strives to become the right-hand man in Miss's house, so that Miss has no worries when she works hard outside.

Wutong, who has figured it out, has a more open mood, and the little family spirit on his body is gone, as if he has been reborn.

When Zhu Junyang quietly slipped out of the camp in Xishan one day and pestered Xiaocao to help him make ice cream, he noticed the change in Wutong's mood, and secretly reminded his little girl that this girl could be reused. Xiaocao became more and more important, and the trivial matters of the Yu Mansion gradually shifted to her.

And Wutong also lived up to expectations, suppressed a few thorns, subdued a few housekeepers, and became more and more courageous to control the whole house.

In the middle of summer, the capital seems to be roasted by fire. This summer, the temperature in the capital has repeatedly hit new highs, and it is said to be the hottest season in decades. Those short-term workers and coolies who are running for a living, I don't know how much heat sickness they have, and the number of patients suffering from heat stroke in the hospital is too great to accommodate it.

Yu Xiaocao, who automatically gave himself a summer vacation, and Dr. Sun of Tongrentang, after a few days and nights of research, finally researched the recipe of Rendan, and worked overtime in the pharmacy to make it. The medicinal materials used in Rendan are cheap and common, and the price of the pills is not high, and the effect of relieving the heat is very good.

In addition, Xiaocao gathered Yang Liu and the maids she bought who were proficient in pastry, and urgently trained her on the practice of freezing (mainly the method of ice cream and smoothie with various flavors), as well as the brewing methods of various herbal teas. In the four cities of the capital, there are several freezing shops.

The most important thing in the shop is the tightly enclosed ice room, which is the size of two rooms, equivalent to a large cold storage. Inside, there are saltpeter ice pools on display, as well as an ice storage room where prepared ice cubes are stored. Smoothies, ice porridge, and ice for all kinds of cold drinks are taken from here. Ice cream is also made frozen here.

Most of the people living in the south and north of the city are ordinary people, and the cold drink shops here are relatively simple, and the fastest selling is all kinds of cold drinks, simple smoothies and other cheap cold drinks. The rich merchants and aristocrats in the east and west cities gather to serve various flavors of ice cream, a variety of ice porridge and luxurious smoothies.

On a hot summer day, order a bowl of ice porridge, or strawberry-flavored or yellow peach-flavored ice cream in the cold pastry shop, and the cool feeling will go straight to the heart. For businessmen and officials who have to go out to socialize in the hot summer, a place to escape the summer and a place to relax.

Especially those children who have tasted Yu Ji Freezing Point, every evening when the sun is not so big, they always pester their father and mother, asking them to take themselves to the freezing shop to eat ice. Brightly colored, richly textured smoothies and ice cream with a variety of flavors are children's favorites. Even adults can't resist the temptation of all kinds of freezing points, let alone children."

Yuji Freezing Point Shop in Xicheng is the largest one in Beijing. The shop is Princess Jing's dowry, and when Xiaocao was in a hurry to find a shop, Zhu Junyang went home and muttered to his mother, and Princess Jing closed the silk village that had a good business and vacated the shop. Of course, Xiaocao will not use her shop in vain, so Princess Jing will use the shop as a shareholder, and the income will be divided into fifty-fifty.

The layout of this shop is similar to that of Zhen Yu Lou, with three floors above and below. The ice storage room is located in the backyard, and the first floor is used as a pavement and hall, and the decoration is mainly simple and elegant, with simple square tables with tables for two, four, six and eight. On the snow-white wall, there are unique wood carving decorations, revealing a strange chic in simplicity.

The second and third floors are all private rooms, which are luxurious, elegant, simple and comfortable, or full of grade. An ice basin is installed in each private room, as if it were air-conditioned. It's a hot summer outside, and the inside of the house is as cool as spring, giving people an unusual enjoyment

At this time, in the private room of "Alpine Flowing Water" on the third floor, a special guest ordered three balls of ice cream with vanilla, strawberries and milk, and used a small wooden spoon to dig up the ice cream and send it to his mouth, and did not forget to praise: "Xiaocao, this girl, did not miss any opportunity to make money, and actually made the ice cream." Don't say it, it tastes so good! ”

"Your Majesty, you have a bad stomach recently, eat less cold." Su Ran persuaded others to eat less, but he hasn't delayed eating at all recently. In front of him was a large bowl of ice porridge, underneath which was an orange-flavored smoothie topped with a thick layer of honey beans, which was extremely rich.

Yes, this mysterious guest is the emperor of Weifu's visit. Zhu Junyang dug a piece of strawberry-flavored ice cream, enjoying the satisfaction of the delicate and cool taste melting in his mouth, glanced at Su Ran, and said, "Manager Su, when did you become an old mother?" Mother-in-law's mother-in-law, it's really greasy and crooked! It's not a bad spleen and stomach, it's a bitter summer! The weather is too hot, eat some ice to relieve the heat and appetize. What a treat......"

Su Ran saw that the emperor was eating sweetly, and shouted outside: "Man, give me another ice cream, and I want three balls!" ”

Downstairs, Yu Xiaocao, who was covered in sweat, was stopped by Yang Liu as soon as he entered the freezing shop. The largest ice shop in Xicheng is personally managed by Yang Liu, and the freezing points are all prepared by herself, and she is accompanied by a few girls who are learning and working at the same time.

Seeing the master, Yang Liu, who had a frightened look on his face, seemed to have a backbone: "Miss, there are two guests on the third floor, it seems to be the one in the palace." ”

Yu Xiaocao asked her to describe what people look like. Yang Liu thought for a while and said, "Both of them are twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and they are both very good-looking!" One person looks very majestic, and the other person has a fairy wind and bones, a bit of a high-ranking feeling......"

From Yang Liu's description, Yu Xiaocao determined the identities of the two, and couldn't help frowning: The emperor is on a hot day, not in the palace, what are you running outside to swim around? If you still eat ice, if you eat it and your stomach is bad, who is it? No, she'll have to make some special topping ice cream and send it over.

She makes jam sundaes, with snow-white cream ice cream underneath, topped with strawberry jam, peach jam, blueberry jam, etc. What's more, the ice cream is made of spirit stone liquid, which not to mention the taste is better, not only harmless but beneficial to the body.

As soon as it was done, the young man above came down in a hurry: "The chief steward, the distinguished guest on the third floor said, add another three-ball ice cream." ”

Yu Xiaocao replied for Yang Liu: "Okay, I know!" You go up first, and I'll send it right away! ”

The young man is a clever man, although he has never seen his own master before, but seeing the attitude of the big steward of Yang Liu towards Xiaocao, he also guessed a few points, and said with a smile: "Yes, thank you for your hard work!" ”

"Okay! Yang Liu, you still have a good eye for choosing people. These little girls, cultivated and cultivated, are the main dim sum chefs of our pastry shop. And this young man, so clever and sincere. "The freezing point shop was set up in a hurry, and in those days, Yang Liu threw herself in the shop almost day and night, and the shop was opened, and she also lost several pounds.

After receiving the master's praise, Yang Liu showed a sweet smile on his face and said, "That's also the master, you taught well." As you said, the guests are the Jade Emperor, and treat them as respectfully as gods and Buddhas. The slave also passed on this concept to all the guys and maids in our shop. ”

"Well done! In any case, the guests are our food and clothing parents, we can't slack off, we must make them feel at home. Well, these sundaes, I'll send them to your guests! Yu Xiaocao patted Yang Liu's shoulder and came out of the production room.

Wutong followed her with a tray and walked up to the third floor step by step. Under the gesture of the young man, Yu Xiaocao knocked on the door of the "Alpine Flowing Water" elegant room: "Distinguished guest, the freezing point you ordered has been sent to you!" ”
