Chapter 89 Ice Cubes

Gervais kept recalling and drawing pictures in his study. After he drew them out and felt something was wrong, he tore them up and drew them again. It took more than an hour to finally get the drawing of the matchlock gun. During this period, Thomas had already reported the excavation results.

No trace of minerals was found, which led Gervais to determine that the space created by Wall-E was saltpeter ore.

"Huh, it's difficult to draw the things in my memory on paper. It seems that I need to record more knowledge in my mind in the future to avoid forgetting it later."

Gervais has only traveled here for less than a month and a half, and he can still remember a lot of the knowledge in his mind. He is worried that if a few years pass, most of the memories will become blurred, and he will not be able to recall them as clearly as now.

There is no Baidu in this world. If you forget it, you will forget it forever. You will never have the opportunity to review it again. It is so difficult to draw a drawing that has a profound impact today. You can imagine how it will be in the future.

Dong dong dong~

"Come in,"

Hearing the knock on the door, Gervais folded the gunpowder ratio and the drawings of the matchlock gun, put them in his arms, and then shouted to the door.

"Sir, the celebration party is about to begin!"

The little maid Anna came in. After Anna opened the door, she quickly came to the desk and bent down to report to Gervais.

"Is it already noon? Let's go take a look at my ice cubes first." Only then did Gervais realize that he had been in the study for so long, so he stood up, stretched his waist, and led Anna out of the study.

Arriving on the first floor, Gervais walked into the kitchen, couldn't wait to come to the ice-making tub, and then opened the pot lid on the tub under Anna's expectant eyes.

"Haha, it worked, Ice Cube, I really made a fortune this time!"

After opening the lid of the pot, the ice cubes in the copper basin showed that Gervais was very successful in making ice with saltpeter for the first time. This made Gervais extremely excited, and he even had the urge to hug the little maid Anna and cheer together.

, but thinking of Anna's shy character, Gervais gave up the idea.

"Come, Anna, try some summer ice!"

Looking at the cold ice cubes, Gervais quickly took out the copper basin, then used a kitchen cutting knife to smash two pieces of crushed ice, quickly stuffed one into his mouth, and handed the other to Anna.

Anna looked at the ice cubes handed over by the lord, and was extremely surprised. Serfs could eat ice cubes in summer, which was unheard of and had never been seen before. Poverty limited the imagination of serfs. Before that, they had also

I never thought that those nobles could store ice cubes for consumption in the hot summer.

"Thank you, sir!" Anna exhaled, blushing slightly and taking the ice cube from Gervais's hand.

"So this is what ice cubes feel like in the summer?" Anna was startled as soon as she took the ice cubes in her hands. The cold feeling came from her fingertips, giving her an unprecedented feeling.

In the past, Anna, who was a serf, hated the cold winter the most, because the cold winter meant no harvest, starvation, and the cold weather would also test their bodies. If they were not careful, they might die.

Being frozen to death, or catching a cold due to the cold.

The ice and snow in the dead of winter were like demonic existence to Anna in the past.

"Silly girl, hurry up and put it in your mouth. If you don't eat it, it will melt!"

Gervais saw that Anna was in a daze holding the ice cube. He didn't know why. He saw that the ice cube in her hand was melting, so he reminded Anna who was still in a daze.

"Oh, yes, Lord Lord!"

After Gervais reminded her, Anna reacted and returned. Seeing the ice water constantly falling from her fingertips, she quickly put the ice cubes into her mouth.

The coldness in the mouth immediately separated people from the scorching summer heat. Anna felt indescribably comfortable all over her body, making her feel that this piece of ice without any taste was the most wonderful food she had eaten in more than ten years.

"That's right. You have to know that only the nobles can eat ice cubes in the summer. Let's go find Jimmy. When I invent more delicious ice cubes in the future, I will definitely let you know what delicious food is."

Gervais was in a daze after seeing the little maid taking the ice cubes, and she looked even more adorable after eating it in her mouth. This made Gervase feel very accomplished. He felt that Anna was conquered by the taste of the ice cubes, so he put on a pose.

Follow me, and from now on I will be popular and drink spicy food without having to worry about being a coquettish person.

"Yes, thank you, sir!" Anna saw that Gervais was so kind to her, and even heard that only the big nobles could eat this ice cube. She immediately blushed and bowed to thank Gervais.

"Well, let's go, the ice will melt later!"

The little maid's rosy little face was very beautiful, and Gervais also wanted to look at it for a while, but the copper basin in his hand prevented him from doing so. It was the hottest summer, and Gervais was worried that the ice cubes would be damaged if the ice cubes were used for too long.

It will melt away.

Gervais was preparing to use the ice cubes in the copper basin to reward the entire army. Gervais was very generous to his subordinates who followed him through life and death. Besides, the saltpeter could be used repeatedly. He only had to boil the water in the wooden shed again and use it again.

It can turn into saltpetre. If he needs to enjoy ice cubes, he can do so anytime and anywhere. Ice cubes are just water to him now.

Holding the copper basin, Gervais ran quickly in the vestibule. The place where the soldiers cooked meals would definitely not be in the kitchen of the inner fort. They had a separate kitchen. Gervais trotted all the way, attracting the attention of many guards.

Everyone saluted Gervais.

Gervais had no time to pay attention to them and nodded to them in response.

"Jimmy, quickly, cut this ice cube and put one in each glass of juice. You have to do it quickly, otherwise it will melt."

When Gervais ran into a stone house in the front yard, Jimmy was working with several of his kitchen helpers. This was the place where food was cooked for the guards and servants. Although the space was smaller, it was also cleaned by the servants.

net.

"Sir, you said it was ice, such a big piece of ice?"

When Jimmy saw Gervais arriving, he was startled and hurriedly stepped forward. When he heard Gervais talking about ice cubes, Jimmy still didn't react, but when he saw the copper basin in Gervase's arms, Jimmy was convinced that Gervais was

Weiss was talking about ice cubes.

"Sir, give it to me quickly, I will cut it into pieces right now!"

Looking at the dew drops on the copper basin, Jimmy didn't ask Gervais where he got the ice cubes. Instead, he said to Gervais eagerly.

Jimmy has also handled ice cubes in Roseburg. He knows how rare ice cubes are in summer and how expensive they are. If you delay for a second longer, you will lose an extra copper plate, so he can't help but be impatient.

Gervais wanted to laugh when he saw Jimmy's anxious look. He wanted to pretend and tell Jimmy that ice cubes are not valuable to me. But thinking that this was not in line with his own views, he held back and quickly handed over the copper basin.

Gave it to Jimmy.

Jimmy was obviously skilled in dividing ice cubes. As Jimmy processed it quickly, ice cubes of similar sizes were divided. While Jimmy was dividing, he ordered the helper to throw the divided ice cubes into the juice container.

in a wooden cup.

In just three minutes, Jimmy finished cutting the pieces.

"Let's go, give all the juice to the guards!"
