Chapter 32: The First Emperor Gives the Highest Praise!

"So, how is the ice powder made?" Zhao Si looked at the smoothie in the bucket and fell into deep thought.

"In this era, there is no ice powder boy in Daqin......"

"Then burn the fairy grass......" Zhao Si sighed.

"But burning fairy grass requires drying the grass......"

Zhao Si can get the burning fairy grass, he has done it himself before, and he can also tell it in the wild, after all, he is playing outdoor sports.

"Let's make a simple turtle jelly first." Zhao Si pondered for a moment.

Burning fairy grass milk tea will definitely not be able to get it for a while.

After all, the raw materials need to be dried.

But turtle jelly can also solve the urgent need!

Moreover, turtle jelly, moisturizing yin and dryness, reducing fire and removing troubles, clearing dampness and heat, cooling blood and detoxifying.

Served with smoothie milk, it is perfect for such hot and dry weather.

Dotted with some crushed hawthorn, it can also strengthen the spleen and appetize.

The main raw material of turtle jelly is relatively easy to get, and the main material of this thing is turtle shell, although it is said that this thing is really not easy to grasp for a while and a half.

But!

In the pre-Qin period, it was very popular to use turtle shells for divination.

There are so many people in the accompanying convoy, it's simple to get some turtle shells out.

Moreover, the turtle shell can be used in medicine, and Xia Wuhe, as an accompanying physician, must have a certain reserve on his side.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Si still went to find Xia Wuji.

The turtle shell boiled turtle paste used for divination always feels a little weird, and it is a bit wrong to think about it every day in the hand.

"Turtle shells? Yes, there is. Xia Wuhe nodded.

"What do you do with tortoise shells?" Xia Wuhe looked at Zhao Si, who was holding the turtle shell into his arms, and asked.

"Your Majesty's scorching heat is unbearable, and your appetite is lost, so I plan to get Your Majesty some chilled turtle Ling paste to eat." Zhao Si said.

"Where did you get the ice? What is turtle jelly? Xia Wuhe was stunned for a moment.

The first emperor was unbearable because of the scorching heat, and there was no ice cube to supplement his appetite, of course Xia Wuhe knew, and he also prescribed some prescriptions for the first emperor to strengthen the spleen and appetize the fire and reduce noise, but the weather problem could not be alleviated, and it was useless to take medicine.

Not to mention the First Emperor, even Xia Wuji is a little wilting, and this year's weather is particularly weird......

"I made it myself, by the way, the turtle shell is medicine, please ask Doctor Xia to give me some herbs that strengthen the spleen and appetize to reduce fire and noise, don't taste too unpalatable, I plan to make some appetizing snacks for Your Majesty, not to get medicine for Your Majesty." Zhao Si said.

"Medicinal diet?" Xia Wu's eyes lit up.

"Sort of!"

Xia Wuhe touched his gray beard, thoughtfully, turned back to the frame, and after a while, he took out a bunch of miscellaneous herbs from it.

Zhao Si recognized some of them.

There are honeysuckle, banyan root, and some unknown ......

"These don't taste bad when boiled...... Zhao Si asked.

"It's not bad, since it's a medicinal diet, it naturally has both taste and pharmacology, and I haven't taken any herbs with poor taste." Xia Wuji smiled.

He is not a fool, Zhao Si has already emphasized that the herbs he took out are the kind of herbs that are boiled out with a relatively light taste, without too many miscellaneous flavors, and at the same time have a certain medicinal effect, the peculiar smell is not large, which can not affect the chef's performance to the greatest extent.

"But you can't use those spices!" Xia Wuhe admonished.

"How could it be...... I'm making desserts, so Dr. Xia might as well take a look at them. Zhao Si said.

If I remember correctly, this turtle jelly is also an excellent Chinese medicine.

"If it is a dessert, you can also put it with honey, honey moistens the lungs and reduces dryness, and can strengthen the spleen and appetize." Xia Wuhe spoke.

After all, he is an old Chinese medicine doctor who can be famous in history, not so old-fashioned, not a person who has a dead prescription, Xia Wuhe has a great interest in the turtle jelly mentioned by Zhao Si.

These herbs plus turtle shells, the medicinal effect is no problem, it is a good medicinal diet to reduce dryness, remove fire, strengthen the spleen and appetize.

But the taste is ...... Xia Wu and it is estimated that it may be average.

It's not that he hasn't made medicinal diets, and not all Chinese medicine has to be bitter, he is an imperial doctor, and sometimes he has to consider whether the first emperor can take the medicine he made.

He has a lot of experience in medicinal diets, and at a glance, he can roughly know what these things taste like when boiled in a pot.

It's not delicious, but it's not delicious to the touch.

Zhao Si nodded, didn't say anything more, took Xia Wuhe and prepared things and boiled directly.

It is not difficult to use turtle jelly, and it is more time-consuming to have the same principle as pork skin jelly.

Various herbs and turtle shells boiled out of the liquid are filtered and mixed, and water starch is added.

Cooling setting.

Fresh turtle jelly makes a new appearance in this era.

Zhao Si tasted it, and it tasted good, mainly because the taste was very good.

Sprinkle honey and milk on the outside, add a smoothie to the town, and it will be absolutely amazing.

"Not bad! The taste is good! That's a good idea! ”

Xia Wuhe is a white prostitute of the production method of turtle jelly, the taste, medium and upper, mainly because the taste is very good.

Add hawthorn crushed smoothie honey and it tastes surprisingly good.

"Ah...... Chilled turtle jelly! Completed! ”

It was much easier to have ready-made ice problems, and the First Emperor no longer had to worry about the scorching heat.

Because the raw material is earth nitrate, soil nitrate in this era is really not very precious.

Give full play to the subjective motivation of the accompanying drivers, and there is no problem with a piece of ice in each person's hand to cool down.

If it really doesn't work, you can also notify the villagers along the way in advance to organize the people to collect soil and nitrate and present it to the first emperor, which is not a difficult task, and it will take a time or two at most.

"This thing is a good thing, the nitrate collected along the way can't be wasted, like this kind of strategic items, it can't be used to make ice and popularize the people, and the summer has passed, and the nitrate collected along the way has to be saved!"

Nitrate is really overused to make ice.

However, there is no eyebrow to make other things, but it is always good to save them, and it is not so simple to get nitrate in ancient times, and this thing will be a strategic resource in the future.

"In other words, the aqueous solution of nitrate should also be re-precipitated by crystallization, but unfortunately, I didn't remember this at all...... Qiu Laohu doesn't know when it will pass, how much nitrate will be wasted......" Zhao Si sighed, only hating himself for not studying well at that time.

It's still too wasteful to just use it to make ice.

……

And on the other side, inside the frame.

The First Emperor sat in the driver's seat, looking at today's healthy meal, and still had no appetite.

Even though it was dark and there was no blazing sun, the air was still very dry.

This is normal, and from the scorching heat of summer to the crisp air of autumn, it often takes a rain.

And now, this rain is accumulating.

The accompanying stargazer came to the conclusion that there would be a heavy rain within half a month, but these ten days were extremely difficult for the First Emperor.

It's hot, it's stuffy!

There was no ice stored in the critical vicinity, and the First Emperor couldn't use it if he wanted to.

The two maids next to him were waving the pu fan to cool off the first emperor, but the first emperor felt that the wind from the pu fan was stuffy.

The recipe formulated by Zhao Si is already unpalatable, and now it is even more difficult to swallow when encountering this kind of weather.

The fruits that have been eaten in the deep water are also boring......

The First Emperor missed the time when there was a time when Bingjian was available.

He wants to be cool, to be cool through the heart! Instead of coming out of Deep Water Town, there is only a slight hint of cool stuff.

It's a pity that manpower can't go against the season and make ice out of thin air in this situation, and the First Emperor can't eat cold food.

"Let's go down......" Emperor Shi barely ate a few bites, but waved his hand helplessly.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat it, it's that he really can't eat it.

Even if there is Zhao Si, I can't eat it.

It is also thanks to Zhao Si's side that he can amuse one or two, otherwise the First Emperor estimates that his whole person is boring now.

"Your Majesty!"

Just thinking about it, he heard Zhao Si's voice outside the driver, and the first emperor's sleepy mood disappeared slightly, and he raised his spirit.

"The minister is here to send ice to His Majesty!"

As soon as he answered, Zhao Si had already drilled in easily, and a smile appeared on the face of the First Emperor, this kid is always like this, everything he does gives people a feeling of being careless.

Wait a minute......

Ice?

Where did the ice come from!

The First Emperor suddenly realized what Zhao Si had just said, and before he could take a closer look, he only felt a heart-penetrating cool air rushing to his face, and when he looked at it, it turned out that Zhao Si, the kid, had already approached with a big round ice cube.

After putting the cylindrical ice cubes taken out of the two buckets, Zhao Si took out the smoothie turtle jelly from the iced food box.

"The weather has been hot recently, Your Majesty's appetite is lacking, this is a snack specially made by the minister, Your Majesty will taste it and see if it goes well." Zhao Si put the turtle jelly on the table.

After that, Zhao Si waved his hand, took the pu fan in the handmaid's hand and said, "I'll come!" ”

The handmaid is used to it, and when Zhao Si was there, she even robbed the handmaid of the fan, which was the acquiescence of the first emperor.

The maid handed over the fan to Zhao Si and retreated silently.

Zhao Si hurriedly leaned over to the ice cube and shook the fan.

Cold!

A real cold wind!

Cool! Truly heart-warming!

The First Emperor even shuddered!

The refreshing comfort came to his face, making the First Emperor even squint his eyes.

Now, there's nothing more important than enjoying the coolness.

Half-squinting, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, the First Emperor only felt that the sleepiness and boredom on his body were also fanned away by Zhao Si one by one.

It wasn't until this coolness soaked his body little by little, and swept away the fatigue in his mind, that the First Emperor opened his eyes and looked at the turtle jelly in front of him.

Without too much hesitation, I picked up the spoon and dug it gently, with the smoothie, with the crushed hawthorn, with the honey, with the milk, and put it in the mouth.

The feeling of Q bomb explodes in the mouth, the faint herbal aroma of turtle jelly, the acidity of hawthorn, the sweetness of milk and honey, and the coolness of the smoothie infiltrating the mouth.

As soon as you swallow it, this wonderful sensation runs from the tip of your tongue to your throat, falls into your abdomen, and spreads throughout your body.

"Good!"

The First Emperor gave the highest praise!
