0526: Xia Tian Treasure·Ice Bucket.
In the hot summer, Qiao Ji arranged for someone to put a lot of ice cubes in the study.
Lei Nai squatted in front of the big wooden barrel in the middle of the study, looked at the ice cubes reflected by the sunlight, and said comfortably, "It's different with ice cubes."
It has been a month since the refugee incident, the Golden Eagle Empire has ushered in Xia Tian, and the weather has changed from cool to hot.
If you don't put some ice cubes in the room to cool down, the temperature in the room will be crazy hot.
Castles in this era don't pay much attention to comfort, let alone ventilation, because the indoor temperature is very high.
"Thanks to Richard and the others." Lian Xin came to the barrel with lazy steps.
She stretched out her slender fingers to poke the ice cubes, and said softly, "If they hadn't discovered saltpeter, we Xia Tian wouldn't have so many ice cubes.
That's right, since Richard discovered jade on Silver Tree Island, Qiao Ji arranged for people to go to Silver Tree Island to mine jadeite ore.
After digging, I unearthed a lot of saltpeter, which is still a large amount. Of course, there are also emerald ores, but the amount is not much.
Lei Nai picked up an ice cube in his hand, looked at it for a while and said, "It's just that saltpeter can be used to make ice cubes, it's really amazing.
Some time ago, Qiao Ji used saltpeter to make a lot of ice cubes, otherwise how would he spend this hot Xia Tian?
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Xue Nai walked into the study with a small trolley, and there was a wooden barrel one meter long, wide and high on the small cart.
She asked the maid to move the wooden bucket off the trolley, and said softly, "It's so hot, let's have some iced drinks and fruits."
Lei Nai's attention was immediately attracted by the wooden barrel, and he left from the ice and came to the wooden barrel.
She pointed to the barrel and asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, did you put all the fruits and drinks in it?"
"Yes, this is the small ice bucket that the master asked me to make." Xue Nai looked at Qiao Ji who was sitting on the master seat and said.
Qiao Ji put down the documents in his hand, got up and left from the desk, walked to the wooden barrel and said, "Come, try the iced drink made by Xiaoxue" 々.
Two days ago, he drew a blueprint and gave it to the white cat girl, asking her to find a carpenter to build a wooden barrel.
The appearance of wooden barrels is similar to ordinary wooden barrels, the only difference is the internal structure.
A compartment was set inside the barrel, and a layer of rain lizard skin was spread inside the compartment to insulate the heat, and then filled with ice cubes to close the compartment.
Finally, fruits and beverages can be placed on the compartment, and after a period of time, it will have the effect of a refrigerator.
The rain lizard is a kind of magical beast that is relatively easy to catch. Like the unicorn crocodile, it has no foreign organs. Its skin is waterproof and heat-insulating.
"Crackling."
Xue Nai opened the lid of the wooden barrel, and the cold air inside rushed out, making the people present shiver subconsciously.
She took out a few bottles of drinks packed in bamboo tubes, distributed them to everyone and said, "This is black bamboo juice, it tastes better when it's chilled. 17"
Black bamboo is actually sugarcane from the other side of the earth, even the appearance is not bad, so this era calls it black bamboo.
"It's so cold." Lian Xin shivered as soon as she took the bamboo tube.
She shook off the water stains on her hands, blinked her orange eyes and said, "It's so comfortable to drink a glass of iced black bamboo juice in such hot weather."
Lei Nai unplugged the bamboo tube and took a sip, and a reverie voice sounded, "It's so cold~"
There was a slight blush on the black cat girl's delicate face, and the folk cat's tail unconsciously flicked left and right.
It took her a while to recover, and she stretched out her thumb and exclaimed, "It's really good, it's delicious."
"Um…"
Lian Xin took a sip and then shrugged her shoulders, laying on her stomach lazily with fox ears, making a dreamy sound like the black cat girl.
She shook her head, and said softly, "It's really delicious, the master's idea is really great."
"Don't drink too much at once." Qiao Ji said after taking a sip.
Drinking too much iced drinks is not a good thing, it will stimulate the stomach and cause abdominal or diarrhea.
Lian Xin's fox's ears pricked up, and she asked as if thinking of something, "Master, can we open an ice drink shop in Beigang?"
"Yes, after mass production of ice buckets, ice drink shops can be opened in many cities." Qiao Ji nodded lightly.
In the past, the production of saltpeter was not much, Xia Tian wanted to use ice, so he could only get the stored ice from the basement, and it would be gone after consumption.
But now it is different. With a large amount of saltpeter, Xia Tian can make ice easily, and a large number of ice drink shops can be opened.
"Master, let's try pear fruit." Xue Nai reached into the ice bucket, took out a yellow fruit and handed it over.
Pear fruit is also a very common fruit in the Golden Eagle Empire. It is similar to the pears on the earth, but it will be bigger. The largest one can grow to the size of three adult fists.
It also tastes crisp and juicy. It is one of the most popular fruits in the Golden Eagle Empire, and the price is very cheap.
good. " Qiao Ji took the pear fruit and took a bite, the juice splashed out instantly.
He raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with satisfaction, "It tastes sweeter after it's chilled, try it all.
"Okay." Lei Nai and the others picked up the pears from the barrel and ate them.
Lian Xin was halfway through eating, she reached out her hand to pull out the hair sticking to the corner of her mouth, and asked, "My lord, when will the next chapter of the story between Uncle Liang Shan and Zhu Yingtai come out?"
Ever since Hu Erniang saw Journey to the West and A Dream of Red Mansions, Huan Ji wrote them stories about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
Still the same as before, write a little bit for them in three or four days, and then continue to write the next chapter after reading it.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are not like the four great classics. Qiao Ji has already written a lot for Lian Xin and others to read, and the finale is still missing.
"I'll write to you tonight, so be mentally prepared." Ji smiled.
Lian Xin tilted her neck in doubt (Wang Le's), and asked, "Be prepared? Master, are they not together?"
Hu Er Niang and the others can only see the plot of Zhu Yingtai being betrothed to someone else by her father, and the climax of the twins turning into butterflies has not yet come to an end.
"Spoilers are not good, you will know when I finish writing tonight." Bu Ji shrugged.
"My lord, just tell us." Lian Xin looked at Qiao Ji pitifully and said.
Qiao Ji stretched out her index finger and shook it, then said slowly, "It looks better with expectations.
"Okay." Lian Xin pouted and said.
Lei Nai finished eating the pear fruit in several bites, wiped his mouth and said, "Master, just tell us if they are together."
Qiao Ji just squinted his heterochromatic pupils and didn't speak, and returned to the desk with the black bamboo juice, ready to write the finale for the beast-eared girls.
