Chapter 172: Ice Making
"Brother Qin, do you have ice cubes at home?"
Liu Che asked a little embarrassed, his touching words just now looked like a monkey on the stage at this moment.
"That's... Just there. Qin Yu also felt a little embarrassed.
People came to deliver ice sincerely, thinking that there was no ice in your house, so you slapped people in the face on the spot.
"Oh... Hehe... Good. Liu Che didn't know what to say at the moment.
It's embarrassing anyway!
"Huh! That's not right! Brother Qin, if your family is not short of silver, there is no need to be so poor, right? Suddenly, Liu Che felt that something was wrong.
If the Qin family really has that kind of spare money to store ice in winter, it will not be collected by the people in the Zhuangzi below.
If only to save face, then this behavior ...
Liu Che thought of a certain result, and couldn't help but have a strange feeling about Qin Yu in his eyes.
"There is indeed a shortage of silver at home, and there was no ice before, which was just made."
Qin Yu's explanation made Liu Che inevitably look down on him a little in his heart.
As soon as the family has rich and spare money, they think about pleasure, is it really that there is wine today and drunk today?
Liu Che didn't show any expression on his face, but he said with concern: "Brother Qin, this ice can't be eaten!" It's all cut out of the river, how can anyone eat it like this, it will eat bad stomach. ”
Ice cellars store ice, most of which are only used to cool off, and there are only a few ice cubes for human consumption, which is time-consuming and laborious, and no one has ever done so.
With this time and energy, it is better to drive the ox cart to the river to pull more ice sawed by the workers!
The ice cubes that Qin Yu could buy, Liu Che didn't believe that they were eaten by themselves.
"Young Master Liu, you can eat with confidence! This is all made by Da Lang himself, made with well water, clean and tight. Listening to Liu Che's questioning, Shangguan Wan explained, wanting to reassure Liu Che.
"You can't make it yourself! This thing..."
Liu Che shut up as he spoke, what he said was completely different from what he thought!
"Brother Qin, this ice..."
Qin Yu patted Liu Che's shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's sit and talk while eating!" This melon shaved ice, without the shaved ice, the taste is far worse. ”
Qin Yu gave Shangguan Wan a look, he was afraid that Shangguan Wan's unintentional words would make Liu Che more heartbroken.
Liu Che looked at the painted porcelain bowl with frost beads hanging on the table, and then looked at the objects inside, he seemed to be able to understand it like that, and he couldn't understand it like that.
"Brother Qin, is this the melon shaved ice you said?" Liu Che pointed to the melon shaved ice and asked, without waiting for Qin Yu to explain, he said again: "Isn't this just smashing the ice cubes into pieces and pouring a layer on top..."
Speaking of this, Liu Che picked up the bowl, smelled it, and after determining what it was, he continued: "Isn't this the juice from the melon?" ”
Qin Yu smiled, scooped a spoonful of shaved ice with a spoon and sent it to his mouth.
Actions speak louder than words!
Seeing Qin Yu's enjoyment, Liu Che scooped half a spoonful of shaved ice suspiciously, stared at it for a few breaths, and sent his hand to his mouth a few times, but he didn't put it in his mouth.
"Eat! I can't eat you! Qin Yu looked funny and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Hey, hey!" Liu Che smirked, as if he felt sorry for Qin Yu if he didn't eat it.
I saw that his eyes were closed, and the spoon in his hand was stuffed into his mouth with an indomitable stance.
The tip of his tongue touched a trace of coldness, which made him tremble slightly, and then there was a cool comfort, and before he had an aftertaste, there was the sweetness of melon on his taste buds, and there seemed to be the aroma of melon in his nose.
Liu Che was just about to savor it, but the shaved ice in his mouth turned into a waterline and slid into his abdomen.
"Delicious!"
Opening his eyes, Liu Che gave an affirmative answer.
"It doesn't smell like anything, does it? It won't be unclean, right? Qin Yu deliberately laughed.
Liu Che didn't answer Qin Yu's question immediately, but really stared at the shaved ice in the bowl a few more times.
"The ice foam is white and pure, not like ice taken from a river."
Liu Che has his own ice cellar at home, and there are even stored ice cubes, and the ice cubes transported from the river to the ice cellar for storage, no matter how pure it looks, under a closer look, there will still be a sense of turbidity in the river, as well as the small debris in it, which is the inevitable characteristic of the river.
The fine crushed ice foam that Qin Yu sent to taste did not have these characteristics!
"It's not the river ice stored in the ice cellar, otherwise how dare I give it to you!"
"Brother Qin, who did you buy it from? This ice is expensive, right? ”
At this moment, Liu Che felt a little sorry for Qin Yu's silver, for a bite to eat, this silver was a little too expensive!
It's better to eat silver than to eat silver!
"I did it myself! Hardly any silver is spent! ”
"What?"
Liu Che exclaimed, and Qin Yu's ears were a little buzzing.
He wondered if Liu Che's ancestor had been an errand in the palace, otherwise he wouldn't have this kind of ancestor's housekeeping skills!
"What is all the fuss about? Is it hard to make some ice out? ”
Qin Yu plugged his ears and said angrily, Liu Che couldn't stop nodding after hearing this.
Isn't it a fairy practice to make ice cubes in the summer?
Qin Yu couldn't see Liu Che's appearance of never seeing the world, so he said directly: "You can make it with saltpeter." ”
"Brother Qin, you lie to a fool! Isn't saltpeter medicine? How do you make ice? Hearing this thing of saltpeter, Liu Che still understood, and the medical center used it for heat stroke, typhoid cold, swelling, vomiting and diarrhea.
Qin Yu didn't bother to answer, and directly tapped the porcelain bowl in his hand with a spoon.
Meaning you've eaten it all, and you still say it's impossible?
Liu Che was greatly stunned, can he really make ice?
After a trance, Liu Che's eyes brightened up a little.
"Brother Qin, this is a way to make money!"
"The big families in Lin'an City, if they want to cool off, they have to rely on the ice cubes in their own ice cellars, but the ice cellars are limited, and there are so many ice cubes under them, so they don't dare to use them more! If we can make ice, won't we be rich again? ”
Qin Yu looked at Liu Che with some amusement, if it was his current situation, he was extremely short of silver, and he wanted to make the most money, but he could understand that Liu Che, a master who never lacked money to spend, how could he be like a money fan?
"Speaking of this, isn't the thing in front of you also a way to make money? Shaved ice, I don't think anyone in Houqin has eaten it, right? You take it out and sell it, and you're still worried that no one will buy it? ”
Qin Yu's words made Liu Che wake up like a dream.
"Brother Qin, you really woke me up! This thing, let's hand it over to Yuanpeng Lou to sell, after all, we still owe Uncle Ma a favor! ”
Qin Yu didn't have any idea about Liu Che's little abacus, making ice cubes out, it was just that he was greedy for pleasure, and now that he could exchange it for silver, he was happy to agree.
"Okay."
Seeing that Qin Yu agreed, Liu Che began to laugh.
However, this time he didn't let Qin Yu tell him how to make ice, if he was eaten again, he really wouldn't have the face to see Qin Yu again.
"Brother Qin, this is obviously melon juice, why do you call it a melon?" Follow-up things, naturally someone will handle it, Liu Che is not entangled in that issue, and casually talks about the melon shaved ice in front of him.
"Don't you think it's more fairy to use the word 'incense'?" Qin Yu opened his mouth and broke it blindly, in Qin Yu's previous life, a melon was a melon, and a melon was a melon, where did the fairy spirit come from.
When Liu Che heard this, he suddenly felt terrible.
