Chapter 59: The Gluttonous Empress
The cold taste mixed with the aroma of 'pineapple', and the moment the shaved ice melted in her mouth, the empress instantly felt that her whole body was cool, as if even the heat under the scorching sun had dissipated a lot.
"Not bad!"
The empress's eyes lit up, her beautiful face showed a faint smile, and a bowl of shaved ice became less and less.
Tsing Yi looked at the empress who suddenly had a big appetite, and was a little dazed, so she couldn't help poking at Ziyi and muttering, "What's the situation?"
"All I knew was ice. Ziyi shook her head and smiled bitterly, she couldn't figure out the situation.
"Ice?" Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had never seen ice, no wonder he couldn't recognize it for a while.
But then she was stunned again, although the ice was cool, it didn't taste like anything, wasn't it delicious? Why does the empress eat it with relish now?
And...... What are those little yellow dices and juice?
Fortunately, Tsing Yi's doubts did not last long, because the empress quickly ate all the shaved ice, and looked at Ziyi with a lot of interest, and asked, "What is this? But the imperial dining room prepared it? Let them send me a few more!"
"Your Majesty. Ziyi smiled and responded: "This is shaved ice, huh...... Lord Lin said it was by this name. He also said that it is not advisable to eat too much shaved ice at one time, because shaved ice is cold, and eating too much is not good for His Majesty's health. So if Your Majesty still wants to eat, let Ziyi pick it up tomorrow. ”
"Lin Zifan?" the empress was surprised: "This is called shaved ice food, which he sent?"
"Yes, Your Majesty......" Ziyi nodded. As for more details, she also does not know.
"Has he ever asked an ice attribute master to help make ice?" asked the empress.
"As far as the servant girl knows, no. Tsing Yi replied.
"So, he really made ice, and invented such a summer snack to cool off? There are really a lot of ghost ideas, and he is really a talent, and he didn't disappoint me......
The Empress let out a sigh of relief, then smiled.
Seeing that the empress smiled twice in a row, Tsing Yi and Zi Yi looked at each other, and they were extremely surprised.
Over the years, the empress has been very cold, or cold. In fact, the situation in Datang has always been not optimistic, whether it is people's livelihood or military, there are many problems to be solved.
Therefore, the number of times the empress laughs every year may not add up to the number of five fingers. On weekdays, he always looks cold, and people don't dare to approach easily.
But since these days, the empress's smile seems to have increased a lot, and the temperament that was originally like cold ice and not allowed to enter the living seems to be gradually melting?
And all of this, the speed has to start from Lord Lin entering the court as an official, right?
Tsing Yi and Ziyi were very curious in their hearts, and they didn't know why Lin Zifan had such magic power, which could make the empress change a lot. But even if they were curious, they didn't dare to ask the empress......
"Ziyi, you go to the logistics mansion, this shaved ice, and ask me for ten more copies!
After the empress laughed, the jade hand waved, and she couldn't help but let Ziyi go to get the shaved ice again, and it was ten copies at a time.
"But Your Majesty, Lord Lin said that eating too much shaved ice is not good for your health, is Your Majesty ......?"
"My body can be eaten by a few bowls of shaved ice? You are the sixth in the world when I am the sixth in the world, and I am a local chicken and a dog? Go and come back quickly!" The empress's red lips opened and closed, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Ziyi laughed and laughed, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only hold back his laughter and leave Qifeng Pavilion and go to the logistics mansion.
In fact, the strength of the empress really doesn't care about a few bowls of shaved ice, even if she is thinly dressed and thrown into the ice and snow, there will be nothing wrong with her.
Logistics Mansion, after learning about Ziyi's intention, Lin Zifan didn't know whether to be happy or uncomfortable, the empress asked for ten servings of shaved ice at a time, at least proving that her shaved ice was loved by the empress, but eating so much at one time, is it really okay?
And...... Ten servings of shaved ice, without the right tools, are quite laborious to make.
In the end, Lin Zifan still did it, and directly made seventeen copies, anyway, why don't you make a few more copies? Ten copies are given to the empress, and seven parts are given to Tsing Yi, Ziyi, Zhou Xiaoyan and spring, summer, autumn and winter, just right.
Tsing Yi and Ziyi are the celebrities around the empress, Lin Zifan deeply understands the necessity of befriending them......
As for the five people in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is a summer welfare, a bowl of shaved ice, not worth much, but it is a new thing in this world, and it is the best summer food, as a welfare, it is not bad.
And because he didn't have tools, Ziyi saw that Lin Zifan was too slow to smash the ice, so he took it personally, and with one palm, a pot of hard ice cubes was directly broken into ice ballast, which was just used to make shaved ice......
In fact, this is the main reason why Lin Zifan is so generous and makes seventeen copies at one time, huh...... Anyway, don't work hard, don't be in vain.
Ziyi walked away with a big ice box, and the five of them looked at the shaved ice handed over by Lin Zifan personally, a little frightened at the same time, but couldn't help but be excited.
And when you taste the taste of shaved ice, especially after eating it, it is as cold as if you are in a cool late autumn, and I love it from the bottom of my heart.
"You also know the method of making ice, if you want to eat it in the future, you can just get it yourself, but you can't eat too much each time, otherwise you will have diarrhea. Lin Zifan saw the sparkling eyes of the five women, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he left with a word.
"By the way, don't eat it when you have a period, otherwise you will have a stomachache......"
Back in the room, Lin Zifan showed a smile.
"There's no problem with ice making, old deacon, hehe......"
"Since the empress and spring, summer, autumn and winter and others all like to eat shaved ice, I want to come to Tsing Yi and Ziyi is no exception, right? ”
As the saying goes, the best way to get a girl is to get the people around her!
Although the empress is not an ordinary girl, she thinks that this method is also universal, right?
Lin Zifan didn't know that Tsing Yi and Ziyi, who had accepted his 'favor' in his impression, stood silently in the corner, watching the empress sweep away the twelve pieces of shaved ice with a resentful expression......
That's right, after the empress saw that there were twelve copies, she thought that Lin Zifan had finally enlightened herself and made two more portions for herself, so the shaved ice that originally belonged to the two of them...... Gone!
A few days passed in a flash, and the time soon came to the ten-day period agreed by Lin Zifan and everyone.
On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty arrived, and even the national teachers and General Huo Da, who had only come one or two steps ahead of the empress, also arrived in advance.
"Tsk, Lord Lin hasn't arrived yet?" Li Shangshu was surprised: "I thought he would definitely come in advance to prepare, but I didn't expect us to come early." ”
