Chapter 42 Food Temptation

Li Lizhi refused because the gift was too big to hold.

Finally Li Er spoke and said: "Zhi'er, just accept it. When you go back, I will give you money to make a flower dew workshop, and you can just give half of the profits to Li Feng."

"It's okay, dad, you have more ideas." Li Lizhi said with a smile.

Li Feng nodded and said: "It's okay. But you don't need to give me half as much. Three achievements is enough."

Changsun said: "Half is half, don't say any more."

"Okay, let's take half." Li Feng nodded.

Seeing that Li Feng agreed, Li Lizhi happily accepted Li Feng's meeting gift and kept the formula properly.

At this time, Li Er asked: "Li Feng, why did the water freeze? Did you do some trick?"

Li Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Old Li, what tricks can I do? It's all the result of saltpeter. As long as you have a handful of saltpeter in your hand, you can also make water freeze."

"Why is this happening?" Li Er planned to break the casserole and ask the question.

Others also listened with pricked up ears. This is a secret recipe. In the future, you can make ice at home. You don't have to dig out ice to store it in winter. This is a waste of manpower, material and financial resources.

Li Feng explained with a smile: "When this saltpeter meets water, it will absorb the heat in the water until it freezes.

Even though we think the water is cold when we drink it, in fact it also has temperature, but it is just lower than our human body temperature.

This saltpeter absorbs all these temperatures, and finally the clear water turns into ice cubes.

But this soldier can only be used to cool down, not to eat. If you want to eat ice, it is best to make practical ice separately."

"Can you make ice again?" Li Lizhi asked again in disbelief.

Li Feng scratched his head and said: "It's very simple. Put water on these ices. After the water freezes, won't it be edible?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of such a simple thing?" Li Lizhi knocked on her head.

Everyone smiled awkwardly. They had not thought of it and thought that Li Feng had other ways to turn water into ice.

After finally understanding the reason why Li Feng made his own ice, Changsun felt a little sad. He originally thought that the weather was too hot, so sending ice to Li Feng would help him relieve the heat.

Who knows that others have endless ice, and the little ice I have may not be enough for them to consume for a day.

Tang Jian suddenly said: "I heard that the Cui family bought a mountain the year before last and wanted to plant some flowers, plants and trees, but they couldn't grow them. Later, they sent people to investigate and found that it was a saltpeter mountain and it was impossible to plant trees at all.

They were laughed at for a long time because of this, saying that the Cui family also had poor eyesight.

Now it seems that this is a treasure mountain, but no one knows this treasure mountain."

"Now, is this mountain still in the hands of the Cui family?" Li Feng asked, "What about the Saltpeter Mountain? It's a good thing, I must get it."

"Here, they are still looking for a buyer. They are eager to sell this mountain. This is a symbol of their shame..."

Li Feng nodded and said, "I bought it, how much did it cost?"

"It seems like it only costs 150,000 guan, but if you want it, he will sell it for 100,000 guan." Tang Jian said.

"Feng'er, it seems inappropriate for you to go to the Cui family to buy that mountain now, right? Why, you are still fighting a lawsuit," Changsun reminded.

Li Feng nodded and said: "That's true. My dear brother, why don't you come forward and help me buy the Cui family's saltpeter mountain? After that, I'll treat you to something delicious."

"What's delicious?"

"Hot pot." Li Feng said.

"What is that?" Li Li asked. She had never heard of hot pot.

Li Feng said with a smile: "Hot pot is a good thing, words can't express it. It is the best thing to eat in winter. Not only is it delicious, but it can also warm up the body.

It's too hot to eat in the summer, and no matter how delicious it is, it won't taste good. Fortunately, we have endless ice cubes.

So eating hot pot in summer is a different kind of enjoyment. Let me tell you, even the emperor cannot enjoy it like this. It is very luxurious and a waste of ice.

At the same time, I will prepare some fruit wine for you, which is not easy to get drunk. It will be more enjoyable to eat with hot pot, especially the iced fruit wine. One sip will make your heart cool.

In the hot summer, with ice-cold fruit wine, it’s just one word, refreshing.”

Li Feng kept tempting with delicious food. Seeing Li Lizhi's eagerness to move, he continued to tempt: "This is hot pot. I can also barbecue. It can be said that there is nothing in the world that cannot be grilled. I won't tell you how to taste it.

Of course, I still have a lot of delicious food recipes in my mind, so I won’t go into them one by one. I’ll just ask my brother if you agree to help me buy a mountain.”

"Agree, agree, but I want to eat hot pot first." Li Lizhi said.

"Zhi'er, don't mess around." Changsun said in a deep voice.

Li Lizhi, who was originally excited, could only give up: "Okay, I will buy you the saltpeter mountain first."

Li Feng smiled and said nothing. It is not good to get something for nothing. If you want to eat hot pot, buy the saltpeter mountain first.

Li Er didn't say anything. His idea was similar to Li Feng's: do things first before you can get the reward.

"Ahem..." Tang Jian coughed a few times and said, "Li Feng, can we come when we eat hot pot?"

"Yes, yes, but how can I find you? You can't let me go to the Yamen to find you. As for your home, I don't even know where you live. Besides, for a guy like me, if I go to your house, I'm afraid there will be no one at the door.

You can't get in." Li Feng said in embarrassment.

"How could it be? You come to my house and I haven't had time to welcome you. How could I not let you in?" Tang Jian rolled his eyes. This Li Feng is good at everything and loves to tell the truth.

I don’t know that telling the truth in front of the emperor can sometimes kill people.

Li Feng did not explain or refute, and said: "When we have the opportunity, let's all get together again and have hot pot together. Call Lao Fang and the others over. Hot pot is delicious when there are many people. Mr. Tang, do you know Lao Fang?

Li Qi worked in the Yushi Yamen together."

Tang Jian glanced at Li Er, who was glaring at him angrily, and nodded quickly: "I know him, how could he not know him?"

He thought to himself: "It can't be Fang Xuanling? Them? Could it be that Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others... My mother-in-law, what ability does Li Feng have? He is so familiar with them, and yet he doesn't tell his true identity.

"

Queen Changsun suddenly said: "Feng'er, you said what we are eating now is beef stew with potatoes. These potatoes are ripe."

Li Er also reacted to this question and asked: "Why can your potatoes be eaten so quickly? The one we planted has nothing but leaves? The time is different from what you said.

.”

Li Feng touched the sweat on his forehead and said: "Lao Li, Godmother, you guys have to react after you have almost finished eating the potato and beef stew."

Changsun smiled awkwardly and said, "Who asked you to make the dishes so delicious? We even ignored the ingredients."

"Okay, this is still my fault." Li Feng said helplessly in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a happy smile: "Thank you Godmother for the compliment."

"Stop being so talkative and tell me quickly why your potatoes are edible." Changsun asked again.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Because potatoes can be dug out and eaten even if they are not ripe, but the fruits are a bit small, and potatoes cannot be eaten after they sprout. They can be turned into seeds.

Remember, don't eat potatoes with sprouts. They are poisonous and will kill you if you don't treat them in time.

If you don't want to use them as seeds, then you can remove the buds from the potatoes and clean them, so that you can eat them safely.

And the fruits of potatoes are eaten from the ground, not from the leaves.”

"No wonder I haven't seen the fruit yet. I thought it was because I didn't have enough time." Changsun said with the same expression.

Li Erdao: "So, you have pulled out a lot of potatoes that are not yet fully mature?"

Li Feng nodded.

Li Er suddenly became angry, pointed at Li Feng with his finger, and said angrily: "You wasteful son, you waste food like this, I'm so angry."

"Why, why did I waste food?" Li Feng said with a confused look on his face.

Li Erdao: "You also said that you did not waste food. The potatoes will be fully mature in more than a month. Now you dug them out. Are they missing a few kilograms? Isn't this considered a waste of food?"

"Ah? Is this the waste you're talking about?" Li Feng said in surprise.

"Why, isn't it?"

Li Feng compromised and said: "So, it's true that I wasted at least ten kilograms of grain. It's all my fault. I can't blame myself."

"Humph, I won't do it next time."

"Yes, I will definitely do it. Unless everyone thinks there are too many potatoes and there is too much potato, I will never dig potatoes early again."

Li Feng’s attitude in admitting his mistake is okay. As for the future when there are too many potatoes, who cares whether they dug them earlier or not.

"Well, this time, I also brought you two pieces of calligraphy and two plaques belonging to His Majesty. Come, bring them up." Li Er said.

Li Feng was excited now. He knew what the emperor wrote to him, and he had been waiting for the emperor's calligraphy. As a result, the plaque of the current brewery was not hung up.

The two plaques were each carried in by two strong men, and the plaques were still wrapped in announcements.

Li Feng personally pulled off the two pieces of red cloth, and the words Baijia Niang and Baijia Cai came into view. He shouted excitedly: "Uncle Fu, hurry up and find someone to hang up Baijia Niang. Put Baijia Cuisine up."

Put the dishes away."

Tang Jian quickly said: "Li Feng, don't you choose an auspicious day and hang up the plaque?"

Uncle Fu also said: "Yes, Master, we should choose an auspicious day."

"Godmother, what do you think?" Li Feng asked.

Changsun smiled and said: "I also think we should choose the auspicious day of the zodiac."

Li Feng thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will go to the Taoist priest tomorrow to choose an auspicious day."

Li Erdao: "Don't go to so much trouble. I have already chosen it for you. I went to Qintian Prison to ask Li Chunfeng to calculate the auspicious days for you. They are the eighth and tenth days of next month."

"Old Li, you really have nothing to say, you are so brotherly and loyal." Li Feng said very moved.
