Chapter 231: Mint Ice Powder

He Xiaoqiao found the fake sour pulp, the main raw material for making ice powder, in the palace, and immediately drooled and told Jiang Fenghao, and then that night, the crazy fake sour berries in a corner of the imperial garden were all wiped out, and when the gardener went to see it the next day, there was only a pile of scattered leaves and branches, and the flowers and fruits were all gone.

This fake sour pulp was not originally a precious flower seed, and it was allowed to grow in a corner of the imperial garden, but it was deliberately left because a certain concubine in the palace liked it.

I heard that there are more planted in the place where the concubine lives, and they are all used to relieve homesickness. Although it is a common wildflower on the roadside, it is also carefully cared for, and the cup-shaped pink-purple flowers with lantern-shaped calyxes that grow densely in the corners are barely a sight.

After Jiang Fenghao got the things back, He Xiaoqiao was always in a state of excitement. Because her stomach was too big, she couldn't sit down or squat, so she could only command Jiang Fenghao to make ice powder by hand.

Take out the ice powder seeds, wrap them in clean gauze, put them in cold boiled water and rub them vigorously, rub them for about five or six minutes, remove the yarn bag, add lime water to it and stir well, let it stand for about two hours, and after solidifying, it will become crystal clear ice powder.

There are still a little bubbles in the ice powder made of ice powder seeds, although the appearance is not very good, but poured with honey osmanthus syrup and all kinds of dried fruits, after being chilled, the taste is first-class.

Cool and sweet, tender and refreshing, and can relieve the heat, cool and reduce fire. Come to a bowl in the hot summer, it is cool and slippery, and the whole person is comfortable.

Rao is He Xiaoqiao has a bad appetite recently and has eaten two bowls, not to mention Jiang Fenghao, three bowls in a row still feel that it is not enjoyable enough, after settling He Xiaoqiao, he began to start fake sour pulp seeds, ready to make two more pots of ice powder to relieve his hunger.

In addition to making ice powder, he also specially sent people to the palace to find fake sour pulp.

It's rare for her daughter-in-law to have an appetite, and since she likes to eat this thing, she thinks it's good, so of course she has to get more back. Anyway, false sour seeds can be stored for a long time, and you can eat them whenever you want in the future.

He Xiaoqiao agreed with both hands and feet on this move, and by the way, even the two small portions in his stomach were counted.

Jiang Fenghao picked up the sour pulp seeds, she sat next to her and watched, holding a fan in her hand to fan him from time to time. Her eyes wandered around the pile of sour berries, and she found a few mutilated spearmint leaves in it.

That's good! With mint, you can make mint ice powder, which is really called a good product to beat the heat!

He Xiaoqiao's heart was so excited! Hurriedly called Jiang Fenghao to go over, and asked him to take the time to go to the place where the fake sour pulp was originally planted, and if he saw that there were such mint leaves, he would get them all back for her, and he wanted to transplant the whole plant back, not just the leaves.

Jiang Fenghao didn't ask the reason, looking at her excited appearance, he knew that this thing was very useful, so he naturally did it without saying a word.

So in one day, the imperial garden was robbed for the second time, the original land where the fake sour pulp was planted had just been tidied up, and before it had time to replant, it was turned over again, and the palace people in charge of the place looked at the messy footprints and stumps on the ground, and the wind was messy.

If that lady knew about this, she wouldn't have to punish him on the spot for the crime of poor care? At that time, the punishment is a trivial matter, but it is inevitable to be punished!

Thinking of this, the palace people immediately felt that their whole person was not good, knelt in front of the fake sour pulp, crying and mourning with a face like a mourning woman, and even wiped up their tears decently, looking quite sad.

Jiang Mufeng criticized the twists and turns of the morning, it was the time of irritability, so Yu Yue persuaded him to come out and take a walk, and when he passed by the imperial garden, he saw such a scene, probably because he was bored, so he stepped forward and asked a few words.

The people in the palace didn't dare to hide it, and told everything clearly, and at the end they didn't forget to kowtow and beg for mercy.

It's just an ordinary flower field, Jiang Mufeng is not so stingy, hearing him say this, he will naturally be exempted from his crime and let him retreat.

"Leng Ling, tell me, what's going on?"

Leng Ling thought for a moment and glanced at Yu Yue, who immediately understood, and ordered the eunuchs and palace maids who followed behind to retreat ten meters away together, leaving room for the two to talk.

"Your Majesty, the flowers in this place are all ...... The prince took it off. ”

Jiang Mufeng immediately became interested when he heard this, "Uncle Seventeen picked it?" "Could it be that there is something unique about this flower and plant?

"Let's go to Uncle Seventeen and have a look."

If you want to go to the Warm Spring Pavilion, you naturally can't let others know. Yu Yue was eye-catching, and after getting Jiang Mufeng's order, she immediately sent all the irrelevant people away, and she obediently stepped aside, not asking anything, just watching Jiang Mufeng and Leng Ling leave together.

It should also be that he has a good mouth, and his legs are long enough, as soon as he arrived at the Nuanchun Pavilion, he bumped into Jiang Fenghao and made a large pot of mint ice powder and was about to take it to ice.

"Aunt Seventeen, what is this?" Knowing that Wenjiang Fenghao must be no play, Jiang Mufeng turned his head very smartly and went to He Xiaoqiao for an answer.

Sure enough, He Xiaoqiao didn't disappoint him, "This is ice powder, just made, and it tastes very good-do you want to try a bowl of it?" ”

"Then I'm welcome!" But whenever the food comes from He Xiaoqiao's hands, there is nothing undelicious, he is an absolute brain-dead fan.

Ignoring the ridiculous 'eldest nephew', Jiang Mufeng immediately leaned in front of Jiang Fenghao with a shy face without saying a word, "Seventeenth uncle......"

"Go aside!" Jiang Fenghao's face has not been good since Jiang Mufeng appeared on the wall, dark and gloomy like the bottom of an old pot, "This is made by this king himself for your seventeenth aunt to eat, you don't have a share!" ”

Jiang Mufeng smiled, not embarrassed at all, took the soup bowl out of the house, and continued to ask for it cheekily, "Uncle Seventeen, this is what Aunt Seventeen said personally, you are old!" And you see that there are so many ice powders, it's not too much to divide a bowl. ”

If it weren't for his own hard work in his hand, Jiang Fenghao really wanted to put his head on his head, lest his annoying face always dangle in front of him, affecting his mood and appetite.

"Uncle Seventeen, have a bowl?"

"No way!"

Jiang Mufeng immediately turned his head, and asked for his trump card with a smile on his face, "Seventeen aunts......"

He Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, sat on the soft couch with his hands on his waist, and said to Jiang Fenghao, "No matter how you say it, it's all found in the palace, and it's right to give him a bowl." ”

Jiang Mufeng had a smile on his face, but he kept muttering in his heart, saying that he got something from him, and he should give him all of them, but now he only gives one bowl, which is too picky!

But no matter how hard you pick, compared to Jiang Fenghao's insistence, He Xiaoqiaoken is already very good to give a bowl.

Jiang Fenghao is a standard wife who is strict, as soon as He Xiaoqiao said this, he was just unhappy, and he still put some ice powder in Jiang Mufeng's bowl with a stinky face, and he didn't forget to stare at it, "Hurry up and get out after eating." "Save yourself the worry of watching.

Jiang Mufeng didn't hear it, sat down on the table with the bowl of ice powder that was eight points full, stirred it twice with a spoon, and felt happy when he looked at the crystal clear ice powder.

Just one bite, you will feel a slight cooling sensation in the whole mouth, and the ice powder is even more refreshing and tender, as if jelly, mixed with the sweet aroma of honey and the fruit of fresh fruits, the taste is varied, which makes people wonder.

This thing...... Could it be that it is made from those flowers and fruits that have been picked? If so, that's amazing!

After eating the bowl of ice powder in three or two bites, Jiang Mufeng took a deep breath and felt that his entire chest cavity was filled with a cold feeling, which was more comfortable than eating chilled melons and fruits, as if the heat of the whole body had been driven away, "Seventeen aunts, this ice powder ......"

"I got it from your garden." He Xiaoqiao blinked, and pointed to the corner with his hand by the way, "Well, that's those things." ”

It was originally someone else's thing, but since it was broken by the owner on the spot when it was borrowed, of course you have to give someone an explanation.

Jiang Mufeng walked over and took a look, and found that it was just some ordinary flowers and plants, and some of the lantern-shaped fruits had dried up and turned yellow, decaying like the old woman's dough, "That ice powder...... Is it made from these weeds? ”

What kind of weeds, people still carry tweeds...... Although it doesn't look too flashy and eye-catching, it's right.

He Xiaoqiao muttered a few words, stroked his stomach and nodded, "That's right, did you see those lanterns bubbled?" Take out the seeds inside, rub them in water, add some lime water and they will form ice powder. ”

Jiang Mufeng sighed, "Everything in heaven and earth is really wonderful. ”

"In fact, in addition to the seeds of this flower can be used to make ice powder, there is another thing called burnt fairy grass, which looks like a weed on the outside, but after drying and boiling with water, it will form a black lump, similar to ice powder, plus sugar water and crushed ice, the taste is also unique, and it can also be used to cool off the heat - it can also be used to satisfy hunger if necessary." He Xiaoqiao said with a smile, encouraging him, "If the emperor is interested, he might as well send someone to find it." ”

If it is just to be able to cool off the heat, it can't arouse Jiang Mufeng's interest, but the word 'hunger' makes his eyes light up instantly - as the king of a country, the most worrying thing is the clothing, food, housing and transportation of all the people in the world, if ice powder and burning fairy grass can really replace food at a critical moment, then large-scale planting is not impossible.

Thinking like this, Jiang Mufeng secretly made up his mind in his heart.

After returning to the imperial study, he immediately sent people to eight hundred miles to hurry up to pass on the news, and the whole team mobilized to find the burning fairy grass, and even promised that if anyone found it first, they would get a reward of one hundred taels of gold.

As for the concubine who brought the fake sour pulp to the palace, after obtaining her consent, Jiang Mufeng sent someone to transplant a lot of plants from her palace to the folk planting and cultivation, and rewarded her with a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry as compensation, and even sacrificed hue to accompany her for one night as a reward, making the concubine so happy that she almost couldn't find the north.

It's completely pie in the sky!
