"Miss, the chilled watermelon is here!"

In Fan's Mansion, Lian'er excitedly held a cold watermelon and put it in front of Li Qingzhao, now that Fan's Mansion is no longer short of ice, naturally all kinds of iced food began to emerge.

Li Qingzhao picked up a scoop and took a bite, which was suddenly sweet and delicious, and the heat was greatly reduced.

"Husband, the concubine wants to eat smoothies!"

Li Qingzhao finished eating the watermelon, and he was still unfinished.

"No! The water produced in the ice workshop is well water, and although it is filtered, it is not completely clean, and it is like drinking cold water, which may cause diarrhea. Fan Zheng immediately shook his head and said.

As a doctor, he naturally knows that the well water is cold, although he can drink it, but Li Qingzhao is still pregnant, so he is naturally extra cautious and cannot drink cold water easily.

"Nope! Don't want a concubine? ”

Li Qingzhao was suddenly deflated, as a pregnant woman, although she usually knows books and etiquette, her mood fluctuates greatly during pregnancy.

"Uncle, the smoothies on the street use well water, which is not suitable for pregnant women, so why don't I use cold boiled water saltpeter to make ice, and then make smoothies." Lian'er said in her heart.

As Li Qingzhao's maid, she has learned some knowledge in Fanfu, and naturally understands the method of high-temperature disinfection.

Fan Zheng glanced at Lian'er in surprise and said, "What Lian'er said is indeed a method, but eating ice alone is too boring, and the husband wants to make a more delicious and safe ice drink for his wife." ”

"Really?" Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng suspiciously, Fan Zheng can write famous articles for the ages and cure terminal diseases for the ages, but if Fan Zheng can make ice drinks, this makes her quite suspicious.

Fan Zheng doted: "When did your husband deceive you, besides, summer ice making is created for your husband, what is it to make some ice drinks?" ”

Li Qingzhao was greatly moved, and Fan Zheng's magic all the time made her believe in three points.

Fan Zheng instructed Lian'er: "You go and get some eggs and milk sugar." ”

Although milk is a scarce thing, now that Li Qingzhao is pregnant, there is no shortage of these things in Fan's house, and soon, Lian'er will bring these things one by one.

"Husband, this is?" Li Qingzhao was puzzled, ordinary ice drinks are some ice cubes, or adding some fruits is a luxury, but Fan Zheng actually uses milk eggs, how to eat this in ice.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "Madame, don't worry, what my husband made for you is ice cream, which is guaranteed to make you unforgettable for a lifetime." ”

Under Fan Zheng's command, Lian'er left the eggs yellow, added sugar, and then added milk, stirred thoroughly, and then simmered over low heat until it was a little sticky.

"Remember that you can't eat eggs and milk raw, otherwise you can easily get sick!" Fan Zheng reminded again and again.

"Uncle, don't worry, Lian'er remembers!" Lian'er nodded heartily.

"Wait a minute, put these in a mold, freeze them for two hours according to the method of ice making, and that's ice cream." Fan Zhenglang said.

Lian'er nodded, and immediately went to the ice cellar to freeze it with the ice-making method.

"The husband seems to be interested in instructing Lian'er to make ice cream, but Xianggong has changed his mind and wants to accept her as a maid."

After Lian'er left, Li Qingzhao tasted a little, she was Bingxin Huilan, and quickly noticed Fan Zheng's abnormality.

Lian'er is her maid, according to the original plan is to accompany her to marry, to be a girl in the room, to serve Fan Zheng, now she is pregnant, and after a while, she can't serve Fan Zheng at all, it is when Lian'er is used.

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhao's heart was very uncomfortable, although this situation was the most common situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and she and Lian'er were also sisters, but when Li Qingzhao thought of this, his heart was very irritable, and even the cool air emitted by the ice basin could not make him calm down.

"What do you want? It is already a blessing for God to be able to marry you for her husband, and there will be no second woman besides you! Fan Zheng nodded Li Qingzhao's nose and said jokingly,

He and Li Qingzhao have been married for many years, so they naturally know Li Qingzhao's careful thinking.

"Then why are you so abnormal to Lian'er?"

Fan Zheng explained: "Lian'er has been in my Fan Mansion for several years, and she can't always be a maid in the Fan Mansion, it's time to find a way out for her, I am ready to let Lian'er go out of the mansion and let her marry herself, and Lian'er has no father or mother, you and I are Lian'er's mother's family, so naturally we have to prepare a dowry for her." ”

And now that she and Fan Zhengqing are stronger than Jin Jian, they can't tolerate other women at all, so naturally they don't need Lian'er, and it's time for Lian'er to get married.

"And this so-called ice cream is Xianggong's dowry to Lian'er?" Li Qingzhao understood in his heart.

"Not bad! Lian'er has no skills to make a living, and with a recipe for making ice cream, it is enough to gain a foothold in Kaifeng City. Fan Zheng nodded.

Li Qingzhao nodded, Da Song is quite protective of women's dowries, if Lian'er uses this ice cream recipe, it is enough to live a rich life in the future.

"Xianggong, being able to marry you is the greatest blessing for the concubine!" Li Qingzhao said emotionally.

"How does the lady repay her husband?" Fan Zheng said with a smile.

Li Qingzhao's face was blushing, but he bravely embraced Fan Zheng's arms at the moment.

At that moment, the curtain fell again, and the cicadas outside the room cried incessantly.

……………………

Soon, two hours passed in a hurry.

"Miss, Auntie, the ice cream is ready!" Lian'er knocked on the door, blushing slightly.

"Send it in!"

After a long time, Fan Zhenglang said.

Only then did Lian'er push open the door, bring in the mold that exuded cool air, and put it in front of the young lady with slightly messy sideburns.

Fan Zheng opened the mold and saw that the milky yellow ice cream had been completely formed.

"This is ice cream!" Li Qingzhao said lazily.

"Yes, with this, I'm sure you'll never want to eat so-called smoothies again."

At that moment, Fan Zheng picked up the spoon, divided the ice cream into three, and handed Li Qingzhao and Lian'er one respectively.

Li Qingzhao couldn't wait to pick up the spoon at the moment, tasted it, and his eyes lit up.

"It's really delicious! Much better than smoothies? ”

Lian'er praised again and again, and feasted on it in her mouth.

Fan Zheng gestured slightly, and Li Qingzhao said knowingly: "Then Lian'er thinks that if this thing is sold in Kaifeng City, it may make money?" ”

"Of course, this is much better than ice powder, and eating too much ice powder will make you have stomach trouble, this is Lian'er has been overheated and has been sterilized at high temperatures." Lian'er said without hesitation.

"How about handing over this business to you?" Fan Zheng asked.

"Give it to me?" Lian'er was stunned and looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.

"You don't have to dislike the businessman, now that the imperial court is planning to set up the businessman, the status of the businessman will definitely rise in the future, at least it will no longer be a lowly person." Fan Zheng assured.

"But Lian'er doesn't want to leave Miss!"

Lian'er never thought that she would leave Miss one day, and this decision was too sudden for her.

"Lian'er, you have been with me for many years, and now it's time to get married, and your husband will give you this ice cream recipe as a dowry." Li Qingzhao said sadly.

"I ............." Lian'er burst into tears.

"If you think about it, now that the Ministry of Commerce is about to be established, and the ice workshop is also just becoming popular, if you are dealing in ice cream, you will definitely make a lot of money, and besides, you also know the recipe for making ice and ice cream." Fan Zheng reminded.

After Lian'er thought about it, she raised her head and said, "Thank you Uncle and Miss, but Lian'er doesn't want to leave Fan's Mansion so soon, at least wait until Miss gives birth before Lian'er prepares an ice cream shop." ”

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but sigh, she didn't know that Lian'er's move was for her body, and she was about to give birth, and it was indeed inconvenient to lack a confidant by her side.

Lian'er disagreed: "Then sell it next year, anyway, the ice cream recipe is in my hands." ”

Li Qingzhao persuaded: "If I want to give birth, I'm afraid it's going to be autumn, and by that time, I'm afraid no one will eat ice drinks anymore, and it's not too late for you to take care of it then."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The best business of ice cream is summer, if you miss this summer, you will have to wait for one more year, you will miss the opportunity, now prepare ice cream, open a store and take care of your wife, besides, you are old, you won't have to wait long." ”

Lian'er suddenly hesitated.

"That's it!" Li Qingzhao said with a final word.

"Thank you, Miss, Auntie!" Lian'er was moved to tears.

Fan Zheng sighed slightly, the ice cream business is a layer of window paper, Lian'er can't monopolize it, if she has an advantage in the layout in advance, at least she will have no worries about food and clothing, and she can find a good family.

…………………………

With the supply of a large number of ice cubes, it brings a touch of coolness to the heat of Kaifeng Mansion, the price of ice has dropped sharply, and the price of ice powder and ice drinks has also dropped significantly, and ordinary citizens in Kaifeng can also afford it.

Although there are also symptoms of diarrhea caused by excessive consumption of ice products, it still cannot stop the people's enthusiasm for ice drinks.

When ice powder is no longer a luxury, it suddenly lost the favor of the powerful in Kaifeng, so a more delicious and exquisite ice cream came into being, and instantly became the new favorite of the wealthy in Kaifeng.

"Sweet, creamy, cold!"

As soon as the ice cream was launched, it immediately became popular in the Royal Street, and Li Qingzhao, the first talented woman of the Great Song Dynasty, personally promoted it.

Seeing that the ice cream shop is making money day by day, and the owner is just a little girl, many powerful people secretly want to take the ice cream recipe for themselves.

However, as soon as they made a move, the first talented woman of the Great Song Dynasty personally stood for it, and the identity of Li Qingzhao, the first talented woman of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally would not make the powerful taboo, but her father-in-law Fan Chunli was the former prefect of Kaifeng, and when he was the chief of the court, his prime minister Fan Zheng was a celebrity in front of the official family, which suddenly made many people disgraced.

"The female shopkeeper of the ice cream shop turned out to be Li Qingzhao's personal maid?"

Some powerful people didn't understand why Li Qingzhao would help the lotus shopkeeper, and after a little inquiry, it suddenly dawned on them that they no longer had any covetous thoughts at the moment.

This news naturally reached the ears of the old and new parties, and a new party official sneered: "Lord Cai, when Fan Zheng proposed the establishment of a business capital, he wanted to investigate and deal with the use of servants by officials to do business, and in the blink of an eye, Fan Zheng actually used the maids of the Li family to do business and make money, isn't this a contradiction. ”

"Idiot!" Cai Jing didn't like it when he heard it! ”

"My lord, the lower official ............." The New Party officials suddenly turned pale and did not know where their stupidity was.

Cai Jing snorted coldly: "The imperial court does not allow officials to do business because they do not allow officials to use the power in their hands to compete with the people, and the ice cream shop of the maid of the Li family has never existed since ancient times, so naturally there is no competition with the people." ”

"In any case, it is a contradiction for Fan Zheng to let his servants do business." New Party officials were not convinced.

"If as expected, this woman must have left the Fan Mansion, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng wants to make a profit, he only needs to take the summer ice-making method as his own, and the Rijin Doujin Imperial Court has nothing to say, not to mention a small ice shop, now Fan Zheng has created a summer ice-making system, not only so that the Kaifeng magnates do not have to suffer from the heat, but also seek a lot of benefits for the imperial court, if Fan Zheng is impeached because of this matter, not only will not move Fan Zheng at all, but will make the official family disgusted with us." Cai Jing sneered.

Although he was not used to Fan Zheng, he knew that Fan Zheng's move was impeccable, after all, Fan Zheng gave up the huge profits of making ice in the summer, not to mention letting the maid of the Li family open an ice shop, that is, to pocket all the benefits of Freezing Point, and the government and the opposition were blameless.

The New Party officials couldn't help but be stunned!

The same thing happened in the old party, they were enjoying the ice cubes made by Fan Zheng, and his family was tasting the sweet ice cream, and they even thought about attacking Fan Zheng with this matter, only to find that they would only bring shame on themselves.

Cool ice cubes and sweet ice cream only bring a trace of coolness to the people of Kaifeng, for most of the people of Kaifeng, such a scorching heat still needs to continue to suffer!

"The symptoms of heat stroke and heat stroke this year are at least 70 percent less than last year, and the number of patients who die from heat stroke is more than 90 percent."

In the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, Yang Jie sighed.

Although the doctors have reminded the world of the seriousness of heat stroke, in this era of physical strength, almost all work needs to be done by manpower, and although the phenomenon of heat stroke and heat stroke has been greatly reduced, it still occurs frequently.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven! We are healers, so we can only do our best! Fan Zheng looked at the sunny sky outside and said helplessly.

"I don't know how long this heat will last." Yang Jie sighed.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and before they knew it, the sky above their heads had been shrouded in dark clouds.

"It's windy, it's finally going to rain!" Fan Zheng said with a happy face.

This scorching heat has lasted for too long, and now it is finally going to rain, and if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid that there will be a drought around Kaifeng.

Soon! Heavy rain poured down, and the entire Kaifeng City was shrouded in torrential rain.

"It's raining!"

Hundreds of people cheered, and even strong men rushed out of the house, letting the heavy rain drench their bodies to welcome this long-lost cool feeling.

The torrential rain was like a note, and it rained for three days and three nights, but it still did not mean to turn clear.

The entire Kaifeng people have changed from the original joy to worry, without him! Just because Kaifeng City is located in the plain and is the center of the world, there is a fatal hidden danger, that is, the Yellow River!
