After a while, Zhao Cai took out a copper basin. Zhao Xiaoyong www.biquge.info asked Zhao Si to get some saltpeter and knock the saltpeter into small pieces.

After that, Zhao Xiaoyong slowly moved the large vat used by everyone in the courtyard to hold water to the center of the courtyard. After that, he took the small saltpeter block that Zhao Si had knocked and threw it into the vat, and after thinking about it, Zhao Xiaoyong threw all the saltpeter into it. After that, a copper basin containing water was placed on the surface of the water.

After that, Zhao Xiaoyong said to Zhao Si: "Go, call the five of them from the front yard, and let them know what knowledge means to change fate." ”

Ye Mingxuan kept watching Zhao Xiaoyong's ice-making process, and said to Zhao Xiaoyong suspiciously: "Xiaoyong, can ice be made in this way?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyong waved his hand and said to Ye Mingxuan indifferently: "Don't worry, you will be able to see the ice cubes in a while, and we can still use the ice cubes to make a dish or something to cool off the heat." ”

After a while, Liushuang and a few of them came to Zhao Xiaoyong, and Zhao Xiaoyong said to Liushuang: "Liushuang, believe it or not, I can turn the water in this copper basin into ice with internal strength alone?"

After hearing this, Liushuang first looked at Zhao Xiaoyong's thin body, thought about Zhao Xiaoyong's usual martial arts, and shook his head directly.

Zhao Xiaoyong smiled and said, "Do you want to make a bet? If I can make this basin of water freeze, you will eat all this ice, if it doesn't become ice, I will drink all this water, dare you? This water seems to have been used by Zhao Cai just now." ”

Liushuang shouted: "What don't you dare to do, don't drink this water boy, just let the boss give me a taste of the wine he brought back from Bianliang." ”

Zhao Xiaoyong smiled: "I didn't expect it, I was worried about my wine." Okay, let's see if you can drink it. Look at me, I'm going to do my work now. As he spoke, Zhao Xiaoyong put his hand on the water in the basin and did not touch the water.

After a while, the water gradually froze. After looking at it, Liushuang rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. "Impossible, I don't believe it." ”

After a while, Zhao Xiaoyong saw that he was almost all frozen, withdrew his fingers, and then exhaled pretending to be laborious. Convection Frost said: "How about it? Now that you lose, I think about it or don't eat ice cubes, it's not good for your health." ”

Liushuang compared his thumb up, and just wanted to say that the young master was wise. When he praised Zhao Xiaoyong. Zhao Xiaoyong said: "Besides, in such a hot weather, it is cheap for you to eat ice cubes." If you need takeout in a few days, depending on your physique, you can do this job well, and we are all very optimistic about you. ”

Liushuang lowered his head after hearing this, and shut up. At this time, Liufeng looked at the big vat, found a layer of small water droplets on the side of the vat, squinted his eyes, and thought of a few truckloads of saltpeter that Zhao Xiaoyong had brought over. Liufeng said uncertainly: "Could it be that the young master uses saltpeter to make ice?"

Zhao Xiaoyong turned his head to look at Liufeng, and then suddenly smiled: "Yes, I use saltpeter to make ice." How did you guess that?"

Liufeng hugged his fists and said: "Actually, the subordinates also guessed, many masters who have practiced cold internal strength for decades may not be able to condense water into ice, the young master has only started practicing martial arts for less than half a month, and his subordinates are a little skeptical that he can do this." Thinking of the saltpeter that the young master had asked him to pull before, his subordinates boldly guessed. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyong thought: "Liufeng can guess it, it seems that my mother and the people of the Cao family can also guess that after I sell ice, they can also guess that they can use saltpeter to make ice." But if I don't put on this protective robe of Jiawangfu, I'm afraid that others will take risks to rob it, this is the world of Tianlong, it seems that those who practice martial arts at this time will not die. Difficult. If I put on it, it will be a hammer deal, forget it, the first pot of gold will be earned by myself, and I will cooperate with the Cao family in the future. Well, for the sake of my mother and Cao Peng's face, I will give you a little benefit. ”

Zhao Xiaoyong bowed his head and was silent, and several guards also fell silent. Ye Mingxuan was a little surprised and speechless when he saw such an ice-making method, he seemed to have seen the scene of Zhao Xiaoyong's daily gold fighting.

Zhao Xiaoyong's eyes narrowed, his face sank, and his tone was not as relaxed as usual, and he said to everyone present seriously: "This method is very simple to make ice, I don't want to see any of you leak it out without permission." If I let me know that someone has betrayed me, I will make him regret having this mouth. Remember, my surname is Zhao, the character Zhao of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After finishing speaking, everyone felt the domineering on Zhao Xiaoyong's body, and after that, Zhao Xiaoyong said easily: "But don't worry, I won't treat you badly." What you want, you will have. I'm not that selfish either. There are still many opportunities to make a fortune in the future, and I believe that you are still very knowledgeable about current affairs. ”

The guards hurriedly expressed their loyalty and said, "I will never live up to the trust of the young master, and I am willing to smear the young master's liver and brain." ”

Zhao Xiaoyong nodded after hearing this, and said, "Don't be angry, this ice-making is not as profitable as you think." First of all, the average large family has an ice cellar at home. Secondly, this method will be discovered by others in a few years, and the price will plummet at that time. We'll do something else then. ”

For the first time, the guards felt that this usually polite and polite young master was still strong in his bones, and they all remembered the identity of his son. said: "I am willing to listen to the young master's orders." ”

After Zhao Xiaoyong heard it, he felt very good.

Zhao Xiaoyong turned his head to look at Ye Mingxuan, who smiled and nodded at him. Zhao Xiaoyong smiled: "Okay, let's go down." I discussed with the master when the shop would open. ”

After that, Zhao Xiaoyong and Ye Mingxuan entered the room and began to discuss. Zhao Xiaoyong said: "Master, this is such a process, it is actually very simple. After that, you can start doing it slowly. It's best to open the store earlier, after all, time waits for no one, and summer is just a few months, and it's useless to pass this ice cube. ”

Ye Mingxuan nodded and said, "I'll do this with them next, do I want to call you when it opens?"

Zhao Xiaoyong shook his head and said, "Forget it, master." I'll leave it to you, I trust you. I still have a little doubt about the five of them, and I will let Shi Niang or Zhao Si do the storage, and I can't hand it over to them. Here, I only believe in you, Master. By the way, this is my Jiawangfu's waist card, for you, you can talk to the prefect or something. With that, Zhao Xiaoyong took out the waist card and handed it to Ye Mingxuan.

After Ye Mingxuan took the waist card, he put it in his arms. Ye Mingxuan said: "Is there anything else to say?" By the way, you always give your first store a name." ”

Zhao Xiaoyong thought for a while and said embarrassedly: "What's the name? Well, let's call it Yi Bingxuan. As the name suggests, we only make ice, and we are a shop that specializes in making ice cubes. I've thought about the couplets at the door, I'm single-minded, I'm not going to know about the couplet, master, think about it yourself. ”

Ye Mingxuan smiled after hearing this: "The name is very good." What else to suggest. ”

Zhao Xiaoyong thought for a while and said, "The façade is too old, it needs to be cleaned." This face is not clean, who will come to buy things, the home is old, it's time to change. The storage room where the ice is placed is either cold or wrapped in a quilt, and the ice cubes will last a little longer. Zhao Xiaoyong's small mouth said a lot of things that need to be changed.

Ye Mingxuan could still remember it at first, but then found a piece of paper and memorized it concisely. After that, Ye Mingxuan said with emotion: "If I didn't know that you had never done business before, I would have doubted whether you were a wealthy landlord." Where did you get so much experience? ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyong pursed his lips and said: "Observation, life is the best teacher, just look at other stores." He said to himself, "Shall I tell you that this is all the novels I read?" ”

After that, Ye Mingxuan thought about nothing to pay attention to, and put the lecture notes in his arms. coughed dryly, and said solemnly to Zhao Xiaoyong: "Okay, now that everything else is over, you have to go back in about two hours, continue to learn swords, learn as much as you can." Industry is good at diligence and frolic, can't. ”

Zhao Xiaoyong replied with low interest: "Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets." Yes, the Shaolin master said the same thing. Then, Zhao Xiaoyong stretched his waist and said, "Come on, master, my long sword already wants to kill me." ”

Ye Mingxuan smiled: "Isn't that master all for your good." Okay, let's continue to learn the Breeze Thirteen Styles today. ”

After that, Zhao Xiaoyong practiced swordsmanship for two more hours, and was surrounded by Liufrost and returned to Shaolin.

That night, Ye Mingxuan and his wife sat on the edge of the bed, and Xi Wanjun said to Ye Mingxuan: "Brother Xuan, do you really want to do business?"

Ye Mingxuan said: "Of course, Xiaoyong believes in me so much, and I can't live up to his expectations by entrusting such an important matter to me, but today I really know Xiaoyong." ”

Xi Wanjun said with interest: "What's going on?" ”

Ye Mingxuan smiled and said, "I used to think that this kid Xiaoyong was too polite and peaceful to people, so he couldn't control his subordinates well in the future." Today, I found that he still has the domineering spirit of the Zhao family in his bones, and he is both soft and hard, and he can suppress his subordinates very well. ”

Xi Wanjun nodded and said, "At that time, when we first came out of Bianliang, I knew that Xiaoyong would have a future in the future. ”

Ye Mingxuan shook his head and said, "Not only that, he told me that he wanted Zhao Si to make the cashier, that is, to hand over the account book to Zhao Si." I think what Xiaoyong wants is to separate the management right from the financial right, and no one can leave the two sides, and Zhao Si was brought out from the Zhao family, so he shouldn't fool Xiaoyong with money, so Xiaoyong is very relieved to hand over the money to Zhao Si. ”

Xi Wanjun sighed with emotion: "I really didn't think of it, how did Xiaoyong think of these things at such a young age." I think you've made a lot of money as his master. ”

Ye Mingxuan smiled and did not speak.
