So Li Mumu decisively gave up the idea of adding ice to fruit tea.

What she is now considering is whether she can use some ice in the store to serve as a refrigerator, to cool the fruit tea, and also to cool off the heat.

And the consumption of ice cubes is not as much as directly put into the drink.

You can give it a try.

It's just a question of how to store the ice for as long as possible.

It is impossible to have a large ice cellar like in the palace.

There is a bronze one in the palace, except that it cannot be electrified, and it is very similar to the refrigerator in later generations, that is, it can put fruit in it and chill it in summer.

It's just that ice cubes are rare, so they only come out in the summer.

There aren't many of these things in the palace.

As far as Li Mumu knows, there is one in the sage, one in the queen mother, and one in the prince.

Gone elsewhere.

There are only these three in the entire palace, which shows that this thing is rare.

Li Mumu didn't expect to find someone to make this thing, so he thought about whether he could make a simple version, a smaller one, and a cheaper one.

Just store the ice as long as possible.

Li Mumu went to find Master Guan.

Guan Fuzi is well-informed, so he may know something.

Unexpectedly, when looking for Master Guan, Gu Baijin happened to be here.

Hearing what Li Mumu said, he immediately became interested.

said that he would study it with Master Guan.

But this is not something that can be studied overnight.

It's researched, and it takes time to make it.

So Li Mumu asked Guan Fuzi and Gu Baijin to study first.

She came up with a recipe for the drink first.

The fruit tea she drank in later life, such as X snow, Xi X, tea X Dao, etc., Li Mumu only knew what was put in it, but the proportion was not clear.

The scale needs to be constantly adjusted by itself.

Using the fruits available in the market, Li Mumu chose citrus, peaches, apricots, hawthorns, bayberry, grapes and pears.

The tea leaves were green tea and Jin Jun Mei.

Naturally, the tea leaves did not choose any high-quality tea, but just chose a very ordinary level, which can be brewed with tea fragrance and refreshing taste.

Dried roses, dried jasmine and dried osmanthus were also purchased.

Li Mumu used hawthorn and bayberry with a green tea base, and added a little dried jasmine.

I kept adjusting the ratio of hawthorn and bayberry, and then adjusted the sweetness, and finally brought out the taste I liked.

Pair citrus and grapes with a black tea base, add dried osmanthus and a little sugar.

Peach and black tea with a dash of jasmine.

Li Mumu tried a variety of combinations, as well as separate citrus and green tea bases.

Apricots and pears with a black tea base.

Hawthorn and apricot with a green tea base, plus a touch of roses.

In addition, these fruits are mixed with tea and dried flowers to see if they can collide with different new tastes.

After mixing each combination, Li Mumu poured it into a small teacup.

Marks were made on paper and attached to the teacups.

It just so happened that everyone in the Gu family was in the courtyard at this time.

The capital has been hot since mid-May, and now it is the end of May, and the people who are already hot can't lift their spirits.

In the courtyard, I knew that the cicadas were chirping incessantly, and occasionally a little wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Gu's father sat on the recliner and drank tea, and said to Gu's mother: "People, it's really difficult to make a frugality from luxury. In the past, when we were in Yong'an Village, the summer was much hotter than the capital. We are busy outside in the high sun. ”

"You are at home doing housework with your daughter-in-law, feeding chickens and ducks, and you are constantly busy. I took my sons to work in the fields under the sun. I didn't feel so tired that I couldn't stand doing this for many years. Gu's father said, "At that time, although the sun was high and the weather was hot and roasting, I also felt that it was difficult, but it was over." ”

"Now we don't need to do anything at home all day, it's not June yet, we don't need to do work every day, but we don't like to move in the sun, it's very difficult." Father Gu shook his head and took another sip of tea.

"Who's to say it isn't." Gu's mother said, "On this hot day, I don't know what Mu Mu is busy in the kitchen." Gu Mian, you tell Madame to rest and rest. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Li Mumu coming over with a few subordinates.

The men were all holding trays in their hands, and there were many teacups lined up on the trays.

"Mu Mu, what are you making up of?" Wang Cuizhen asked curiously.

"A newly researched fruit tea." Li Mumu said, "I have been studying the pairing of fruits and tea these days. ”

"Fruit and tea pairing? What does this smell like? Zhang Caiping asked curiously.

"How about you try it?" Li Mumu said, "Now that the sky is starting to get hot, I think if I can, I will sell it in the shop." It is very refreshing to drink such a cup on a hot day. ”

"Because there are so many flavors, I put my name on each cup." Li Mumu said, "Which one you think is delicious, I'll write it down." ”

The servant carried the tray in front of the people.

Gu's father and Gu's mother stared, they were illiterate.

But because he came to the capital, with the status of Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu, he became higher and higher.

They felt that when they inevitably went out to socialize, they couldn't embarrass Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu, so they also spontaneously learned characters.

Even idioms can be said casually.

Now I can't recognize all the words, but it's enough.

The same is true for Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping.

At this moment, everyone looked at the names on the cups.

"Jasmine, hawthorn, plum?" Gu Mu said with a strange thought, "What is this?" ”

"This is a hawthorn bayberry jasmine green tea brewed with green tea and dried jasmine with water, plus hawthorn juice and bayberry juice, mixed with bayberry pulp. But if you call it that, the name is too long, so it will be called Jasmine Hawthorn Plum Plum. ”

"That's a pretty good name." Gu's mother took a sip and looked at Li Mumu with surprise, "It's delicious!" There is the sourness of hawthorn, the sweetness of bayberry, and the fragrance of jasmine. Coupled with the taste of green tea, it is refreshing and refreshing. ”

Gu's mother recalled, "Even if I swallow it for a long time, I still have a lot of flavor in my mouth, full of sweetness, and the aftertaste is endless." ”

Gu's mother said, and took another sip, "And bayberry pulp!" ”

"It's too bitter to drink green tea alone, it's so delicious." Gu Baiyuan looked at the words on the cup, "My cup is a rose grape pear, so fragrant!" Grape aroma, pear aroma and rose aroma. ”

Gu Baiyuan smashed his mouth, "I still have a fragrant mouth in my mouth now." ”

"My cup is osmanthus popping oranges, and I like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers." Gu Xiuxiu said.

"What is a popping orange?" Wang Cuizhen asked curiously.

"Mother, you taste it." Gu Xiuxiu took a cup for Wang Cuizhen.

Wang Cuizhen drank, "The beads in it are ......"

"It's the flesh of citrus, and when you bite it, it's like a popping bead. This is made with a mixture of osmanthus, green tea and citrus, so it is called osmanthus popping orange. ”
