Chapter 66 Ice Making
Just when the news that the King of Wu and the King of Yue had been intercepted and killed was spreading in Jingchu, Xiao Chenxuan and Xiao Chenhao were busy making ice cream in Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, all the saltpeter you asked us to search for has been transported to the palace. According to your instructions, we dug a basement specifically to store this saltpeter." An Tingyong said respectfully, without any trace of confusion.
The meaning of asking for credit.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go and call Butler Wang and ask him to bring me a copper basin. By the way, remember to bring a basin of water to me as well. Later you will know how worthwhile all your hard work is.
." After Xiao Chenxuan nodded in approval, he began to give instructions.
Hearing Ji Wang Xiao Chenxuan say that the hard work of himself and others was worth it, An Tingyong was very curious, but the prince asked him to call Butler Wang, so he had to put aside his curiosity and hurriedly ran to call Butler Wang.
"Brother, what is the use of this saltpeter? I have heard that you have these stupid guards. Before you found the saltpeter mine, you went everywhere to mess with other people's latrines, making people think that you were training latrine maintenance workers from the Prince's Palace.
Ah, haha, thinking about that scene, I almost laughed out loud, oh, haha..." Xiao Chenhao joked and said with a smile.
"Haha, laugh, I'll laugh you to death. You'll know later what the saltpeter is for." Xiao Chenxuan said inscrutably. He didn't even explain what the saltpeter was for, and he didn't hesitate to let the people in his bodyguard army mess with others.
The latrine was covered in feces and people chased it around.
"Bago, please tell me, what is the use of this saltpeter?" Xiao Chenhao was very curious. What on earth did Bago send people to find Xiao Shi for? No matter the cost, he went to mess with other people's huts without shame, and was beaten by a group of strong men.
Han, the unscrupulous little daughter-in-law, is chased around in the streets and alleys. This scene is quite amazing.
"Have you ever heard of turning stones into gold?" Xiao Chenxuan asked Xiao Chenhao like a fool.
"Bago, you won't tell me that you want to turn these saltpeters into gold, right?" After hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, Xiao Chenhao was even more curious.
"Idiot! What are you thinking about? I have the ability to turn stone into gold, so why the hell do I open a restaurant and just turn it into gold in the palace every day?" Xiao Chenxuan rolled his eyes with contempt.
"Then what are you doing, Bage? If you don't tell me, I won't know." Xiao Chenhao touched his head and asked embarrassedly.
"It is true that I cannot turn stone into gold, but I can still turn stone into ice!" Xiao Chenxuan said arrogantly.
"Wha, what, turn stone into ice, Bago, are you sure you don't have a fever? No.
Are you kidding me?" Xiao Chenhao changed from curiosity to confusion.
Xiao Chenxuan was too lazy to explain to the idiot Xiao Chenhao. He couldn't understand it anyway. What is a chemical reaction? What is a physical reaction? Just shut up. After a while, An Tingyong and Butler Wang each took a basin of water and left.
Come in.
Xiao Chenxuan took the copper basin from Butler Wang and asked An Tingyong to find a wooden bucket. Xiao Chenxuan quickly poured half of the water in the copper basin into the wooden bucket, floated the copper basin on the wooden bucket, and then said to An Tingyong
Yong ordered.
"Later, you can pour water into the barrel for me, and you can put the saltpeter in the water.
After hearing Xiao Chenxuan's instructions, Butler Wang and An Tingyong immediately acted according to Xiao Chenxuan's instructions.
After a while, the water in the copper basin boiled with white steam, and a chill began to spread. The water in the wooden barrel also began to freeze, and there was a crisp banging sound. Butler Wang put too much saltpeter, and the air cooled quickly.
The water in the copper basin was transmitted through the copper basin. Soon, the water in the copper basin turned into a large round ice cube.
"Wow... Myna, myna, look, it's really ice! The water is really ice!" Xiao Chenhao looked at everything in front of him and shouted excitedly!
Butler Wang was even more excited. His prince could really turn rocks into ice. If word spread, it would be so embarrassing! For thousands of years, who can turn rocks into ice? I am afraid that only my prince can do it.
Come on!
Those fools in Jingchu keep saying that their prince is a dandy and a prodigal prince every day. Who the hell is a prodigal who can turn a stone into ice? This is something only an immortal can do!
"My lord, what kind of magic are you doing?" An Tingyong on the side also asked curiously.
"Spells, Mao's spells, this is wisdom, do you understand? I told you to read more books besides training, but you just don't listen. Look, you don't know anything now, right?" Xiao Chenxuan said very arrogantly, and he still blamed others.
An Tingyong only knows about training, and he doesn’t think about the current books. There is no record of this stuff at all. How can he have time to read books if he trains all day long?
"Your Majesty, your skills are really amazing! How did you do it?" Even Butler Wang asked curiously!
"This king's clever plan!" Xiao Chenxuan stroked his chin and pretended to have a beard!
"Let's see what you can do! I know that the problem lies in the saltpeter, right, Bage?" Looking at his Bage's arrogant expression, Xiao Chenhao was speechless, and then he spoke out.
"Haha, little fat, you're not stupid either. You've learned to use your brain. Not bad, not bad." Xiao Chenxuan didn't.
Thinking that Xiao Chenhao was the first person to discover that the problem was with the saltpeter, he was very pleased. He touched Xiao Chenxuan's head with his hand and said as an adult to a child.
Xiao Chenhao looked down at his eighth brother and pushed Xiao Chenxuan's hand away.
"This bucket is too small, and the copper basin is not enough. Later, Lao Wang, you will prepare more wooden buckets and copper basins, and we can start making a large amount of ice cubes. An Tingyong, please go to Tianxia Restaurant to call Wang Xin back.
Wang will teach you how to make ice cream later. After finishing it later, he will also give some to the rookies in training so that they can also try how refreshing it is to eat ice cream in the summer! By the way, Lao Wang, you and Wang Xin
Let's put it into practice. After the ice cubes are successfully made, our palace will open an ice cream shop to sell this kind of ice cream in the summer." The hot summer is coming soon, Xiao Chenxuan found that he has found another way to make a fortune, and said excitedly
stand up.
Hearing that the prince said that he could have ice cream in the evening, An Tingyong became greedy just thinking about it. It was such a luxury to be able to eat ice cubes in the summer! No, he immediately ran to Tianxia Restaurant.
As a money-crazy person, Butler Wang was very excited when he heard that his prince was going to open a shop in the summer to sell ice cubes and what kind of ice cream would be made into them.
Thinking about it, this year's summer has not yet arrived, but it is so hot, so if your prince opens this ice cream shop, the business must be very booming! Wouldn't there be a lot of money sent to King Ji's?
Whoever has ice cubes hidden in Jingchu now must be rich or noble, and no matter how rich you are, you may not necessarily have ice cubes hidden there. There may not even be many ice cubes in the ice cellar of the palace!
"Okay, Your Majesty, let me prepare now and open this ice cream shop on West Street, where the population is the most mobile. Yes, West Street, opposite Wanhua Building, where dignitaries often come and go. In such a hot summer, in
Wherever you open this ice cream shop, the business will definitely be very booming!" Butler Wang said happily.
Xiao Chenxuan was too lazy to take care of such trivial matters as opening a store, and nodded to Butler Wang.
"It's a good idea, but keep it secret. It's best if the ice cubes are shipped from the palace and don't let others find out how to make ice, otherwise..."
"I know this. When Wang Xin and the others come back later, I will tell them that they cannot reveal the method of making ice, Your Majesty." Butler Wang knows that revealing the method of making ice is equivalent to sending money away.
Go out, you are not stupid, this is the way for the palace to make money, even if you kill yourself, you have to keep this secret.
