Midsummer, the most difficult day of the year, Yucheng at this time, the viscous heat wave in the air makes people prohibitive, reluctant to go out.

Of course, there are only a few people who can stay at home without going out in the scorching sun.

Most ordinary people still have to endure the scorching sun, as in the past, running for a day's livelihood.

The scorching sun made everyone who went out frown.

Different from other mansions that have long been equipped with ice rooms, in the Zhenguo Mansion, Shangguan Qiuyu and Nangong Shiluo have also endured the test of the scorching heat of midsummer.

Of course, he Shangguan Qiuyu is not afraid of this cold and heat, but there are two people in the house who can't stand this hot summer.

Being in the south all the year round, Nangong Shiluo's master and servant, who have long been accustomed to the warm winters and cool summers in the south, are a little unbearable in the scorching heat of the north.

If you want to say that the winter is okay, you can add two more clothes when it is cold, plus the fireplace that Shangguan Qiuyu made up, Nangong Shiluo's master and servant naturally quickly adapted to the severe cold in the north.

However, in this hot summer, even if you are in the house, you are not directly exposed to the sun.

Nangong Shiluo's master and servant were also a little unbearable to be so stuffy, and they looked listless all day long, which made people feel pitiful.

The most unbearable thing for the two women is that they can't move easily, because as long as they move their hands and feet slightly, the sweat on their bodies will flow out like money.

Seeing Nangong Shiluo's listless look, Shangguan Qiuyu naturally couldn't watch it.

Originally, he thought that this huge Guogong Mansion should be equipped with some ice cubes or something, so that people could get a glimpse of the heat of midsummer.

After all, all the big families in Yucheng will basically store some ice cubes in their cellars for later use.

However, in the end, when he searched the entire Guogong Mansion and did not find a single piece of ice, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

In the end, after asking the housekeeper in the house, he learned that his cheap grandfather did not let people build an ice cellar in the house at all.

The reason for this is simply because it costs a lot and is not very useful.

Therefore, in order to avoid waste, the Shangguan family has not built the so-called ice cellar for a long time.

At this time, he understood why Nangong Shiluo would rather endure the heat than let the people in the house go outside to buy ice cubes to relieve the heat, because he was afraid that someone would gossip about it.

After all, most people's homes store the ice in the winter when it snows, and the value of takeaway is not low.

In the pavilion, Shangguan Qiuyu was meditating on the essence of the formation given to him by Lu Qi.

Beside him, one left and one right, two maids shook their fans to relieve the heat.

At this time, a maid came over, nodded slightly to Nangong Shiluo, who was sitting quietly, and said softly:

"Major General, Ding Gongzi asked to see him outside the courtyard. ”

"Oh, Ding Feng is here, let him in. ”

Hearing that the maid Yan Ding Feng was coming, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The maid left in response, and after a while, she brought the former Ding Dagongzi to Shangguan Qiuyu.

Ding Feng, who followed the maid into the courtyard, hurriedly bowed down and said after seeing Shangguan Qiuyu:

"Subordinate Ding Feng, meet the young general, young lady. ”

At this time, the Yucheng Ding family was already in charge of Ding Feng, and Ding Feng also took the entire Ding family to Shangguan Qiuyu after his father was released from prison.

Therefore, they will regard themselves as subordinates.

"Press, sit down" nodded to him, and after motioning to the maid on the side to pour a cup of tea for Ding Feng, Shangguan Qiuyu asked him:

"How's it going? Did I find what you're looking for?"

"Major General Hui, I have found it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my subordinates really couldn't believe that thing was so magical. ”

Ding Feng said as he looked at Shangguan Qiuyu's eyes.

"Hehe" Seeing Ding Feng's look of disbelief, Shangguan Qiuyu didn't explain much about it, but just smiled indifferently.

Saltpeter makes ice, this is a truth that even elementary school students understand in Shangguan Qiuyu's previous life, and he naturally won't understand it.

It's just that although he thought of this at the time, it became a big problem where to find the saltpeter.

After all, the martial arts of this world are booming, and he has never even heard of gunpowder or something, so it is difficult for him to find the saltpeter in his previous life at once.

So, when he had no choice, he sent someone to entrust Ding Feng to send someone to find the so-called saltpeter in his mouth.

Not to mention, the Ding family is worthy of being in business, and there are many channels for various businesses, and after inquiring, they quickly found the saltpeter in Shangguan Qiuyu's mouth.

At first, he didn't believe that the saltpeter in Shangguan Qiuyu's mouth could make ice, but the truth made him stunned for a while.

"In that case, can you bring it?" Ignoring his adoring eyes, Shangguan Qiuyu said with a hint of eagerness.

Hearing Shangguan Qiuyu's words, the maid who had brought Ding Feng into the courtyard stepped forward and presented a wooden box.

Looking at the white crystals in the box, Shangguan Qiuyu's eyes couldn't help but light up, knowing that Ding Feng had indeed found the right one, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Immediately, Shangguan Qiuyu instructed the maid beside him:

"Go, go and bring a basin of water. ”

Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand why Shangguan Qiuyu was so happy to see the white crystals in the box, so they all stood quietly aside and waited for Shangguan Qiuyu's next move.

After asking the two maids to clean up all the things on the stone table, Shangguan Qiuyu asked the maids to directly put the wooden basin full of water on the stone table.

Then without saying a word, he poured all the saltpeter in the box into the wooden basin of clear water, and then stared at the wooden basin.

After a while, a scene of surprise gradually occurred in the wooden basin, and the water in the wooden basin began to freeze gradually.

In this hot summer, the water in the basin can freeze without being disturbed by external forces, who will believe it.

Except for Shangguan Qiuyu and Ding Feng, who had already been shocked, all the women in the pavilion were shocked by him.

With just a few white crystals, a basin of clear water condensed into ice, which made them dumbfounded.

After everyone came back to their senses, Shangguan Qiuyu glanced up at everyone, and then said:

"No one is allowed to say anything about today, understand?"

"Yes," the maids heard and hurriedly bowed in response.

After warning the maids, Shangguan Qiuyu said to Ding Feng, who was honestly standing aside and commanding:

"Alright, let's go down and do something. ”

After Ding Feng went down, Shangguan Qiuyu refocused his gaze on the wooden basin on the table.

At this moment, the clear water in the wooden basin has completely solidified into ice, and wisps of cold air overflow from it, making people feel a trace of coolness.

When his fingers touched the surface of the ice, the whole piece of ice turned into small boxy pieces of Xiaoice.

Then, Shangguan Qiuyu smiled at Nangong Shiluo beside him, and then began to concoct artificial iced juice.

Absolutely pure green, no pollution, no added sugar.
