Pearl Moon Tower, backyard.

Zhaiyue Tower is located in the center of the royal capital and covers a wide area. In addition to the main building facing the street, there are gardens, rockery, ponds, pavilions, and some separate pavilions behind it.

Lin Xiu stood in front of a well, with several buckets of well water placed under his feet, and the waiter from Zhaiyue Tower kept getting water.

Because the weather is too hot, when the sun is exposed to the sun, the well water will soon lose its coolness.

Lin Xiu washed his hands and then put his palm on the water surface in the bucket.

After a burst of cold air emanated from the barrel, the water surface began to freeze rapidly.

Soon, the entire bucket of well water was frozen into a piece.

The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou couldn't help but feel excited when he watched this scene.

This summer is extremely hot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that ice is more expensive than gold. The ice used to cool down is priceless and it is hard to find ice. As long as this person is kept, you can imagine what their business will be like in the next period of time.

For Zhaiyuelou, this is not just a matter of profit.

When other restaurants are like steamers, Zhaiyue Tower is the only summer resort. It can please those nobles and will benefit endlessly from Zhaiyue Tower in the future.

Compared with these, a few dozen or hundreds of taels of silver is nothing.

After Lin Xiu frozen several buckets of water one after another, he sat aside and rested, waiting for the energy to recover, and condensed ice directly from the water. Although it was much easier, it was a lot of consumption after more times.

It’s not that he had thought about using other ideas, such as using the principle of saltpeter dissolved in water to absorb heat. However, this method has low efficiency in ice making, extremely low yield, and is easy to be copied by people. The ability to use it directly is not only more convenient, but also extremely efficient.

Moreover, no one can copy this method except Lingyin.

At this time, a waiter from Picking Yue Tower had already chiseled out the ice cubes in the bucket and placed them in the ice magazine.

Bingjian is a tool for the rich man to cool down. It is a square object that looks similar to a tripod. There are small holes around and at the bottom. As long as the ice is placed in it, the air conditioner will radiate out of the hole and circulate in the room.

In later generations, even in summer, ice cubes are worthless.

But Daxia is like ancient China. There is no technology for making ice in summer. All the ice cubes are stored in ice cellars in winter. In fact, it has melted and consumed a lot. If you use one piece less, the price is naturally expensive. It is not an exaggeration to say that ice is as expensive as gold. Ordinary families cannot afford it, including the Lin family in the past.

Therefore, even in previous years, ice cubes were not so short, and a piece of ice cube with a volume of similar size to a bucket was generally around one tael of silver. It was the cost of a family of five who had meat for a month.

Lin Xiu sold five taels of silver for this bucket of ice, which was five times the price of ice, but Lin Xiu believed that Zhaiyuelou would never lose money, and would even make more money than him. In fact, Zhaiyuelou took advantage of it.

However, Lin Xiu didn't care about this. He couldn't make any money. He cooperated directly with Zhaiyuelou, which would reduce most of his troubles and naturally he would lose some benefits. He was mentally prepared for this.

An hour later, Sun Dali walked out of Zhaiyue Tower with Lin Xiu in his arms.

Lin Xiu's face was pale, his steps were empty, and he looked like his body was hollowed out. The fact is that his body was indeed hollowed out. Although it would not take too much energy to freeze a bucket of water, he had frozen fifty buckets in one hour, and now he couldn't squeeze out a drop of energy in his body.

But the harvest is also huge.

In the box that Sun Dali was holding, there were thirty silver ingots per one.

With the fixed daily fifty taels, Lin Xiu earned 300 taels of silver in one hour, which was a daily profit of money, saving a little, enough for the family's expenses for several years.

This is the advantage of a magician. Most abilities can be rich and have no worries about food and clothing even if they do not seek refuge in the court and use their own abilities.

Sun Dali held the box and walked, smiling foolishly: "Three hundred taels of silver, if only this would be possible every day..."

Lin Xiu shook his head. It is impossible to be like this every day. The weather will soon turn colder. Such days will not last long, and the money will be reduced by one day. This winter, the powerful people in Daxia who have suffered losses and the major stores in the royal capital will definitely retaliately stock up on ice. By next summer, the ice price will inevitably drop sharply. By then, it will not be so easy to make money by making ice.

When Lin Xiu and Sun Dali returned home, they happened to see A Yue walking outside with a brocade box in her arms. Lin Xiu asked, "Sister A Yue, where are you going?"

Ayue followed Mrs. Ping Anbo very early, a few years older than Lin Xiu. When she saw Lin Xiu, she stopped and said, "Mrs. I asked me to take these things out and exchange them for some money to subsidize the household income."

Lin Xiu walked over, opened the brocade box and found that there were some jewelry inside, including jade bracelets, gold hairpins, earrings, etc.

At this time, Mrs. Ping Anbo walked out and said with a smile: "Xiu'er is back. It's hot outside. You'll stay at home more these days. It's better not to go out."

Lin Xiu noticed that the jade bracelet on her hand was gone, and the gold hairpin on her head was replaced with a wooden hairpin.

Lin Xiu said to A Yue: "Put these jewelry back first."

Zhou Yun walked up and said, "It's useless to keep these things. It's better to do them first and supplement their household expenses."

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry about Yinzi, Dali..."

Sun Dali walked forward with a silly smile and opened the box in his arms. Under the sun, the neatly arranged silver ingots were so panicked that Zhou Yun was a little dizzy.

There were probably hundreds of taels of silver. She looked at Lin Xiu in shock and asked, "Xiuer, where did these silver come from? You can't do anything bad..."

Although the Lin family was in decline, they were still among the powerful and powerful. The Qing officials and officials were also officials in the court. If they were determined to get money, there were countless ways, but none of them were the right way.

Lin Xiu knew what she was worried about and comforted her: "Don't worry, mom, I earned this money myself. If you don't believe me, ask Dali."

Sun Dali immediately said: "Madam, I testify that this is really something that the young master earns with hard work!"

Zhou Yun did not believe it at the first time and said, "Don't collude with me, what can Xiu'er do to make so much money in such a short world?"

Lin Xiu had no choice but to explain in detail: "Mom, have you forgotten that I have awakened my magic ability now? The weather has been so hot these days, and it is hard to find a lot of ice. I just used my own ability to help Zhaiyuelou make a lot of ice cubes. This is the reward they gave me."

After finally convinced her, Zhou Yun looked at the rows of silver ingots in the box and said in disbelief: "Yes, but there are too many..."

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, mom, every money I earn is clean. From now on, you and your father will enjoy your happiness at home."

Then, he said to A Yue: "Sister A Yue, when it gets cold outside, you and your mother go out for a walk. She has been wearing her jewelry for a long time, and it's time to change to a new batch."

A Yue's eyes were bent into a crescent moon and she said, "Okay young man."

Zhou Yun was a little depressed. She looked at Lin Xiu guiltily and said, "Xiu'er, it's because her parents are incompetent, so she asked you to do these things with extraordinary skills..."

In any dynasty, magicians are noble and will be supported by the court or various forces. Rare magicians will rarely reduce their identities and do these low-key things for the sake of money.

Lin Xiu held her hand and said indifferently: "Mom, where have you been talking about it? It's not a mess at all by making money with your own abilities. You can put away this money first, and there will be more and more in the future..."

...

A hint of cool air came out of the ice arc, making the whole room particularly cool.

Zhou Yun put away the silver, walked slowly to the table, and said to her husband: "Master, have you noticed that Xiu'er has changed..."

Lin Ting nodded and said, "I also think that he would ask himself to cancel the engagement with the Zhao family. Haven't he always been looking forward to this matter?"

"I'm not talking about this." Zhou Yun shook his head, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes, and a little sadness, and he whispered: "Xiu'er has grown up..."

What she was pleased with was her son's growth. Even if they were gone in the future, they could live a good life with their own abilities.

What she felt distressed was that he was only eighteen years old, and most of the powerful children of the same age were still at the age of enjoying the horse. He enjoyed the beauty of his father, but he had already supported a family.

Lin Ting also sighed slightly and said, "It's all my father-incompetent..."

Zhou Yun held his hand, and his expression suddenly changed and said, "In fact, this may not be a good thing. At least we don't have to worry too much..."

Yesterday, his body was hollowed out. After a night of sleep, Lin Xiu was resurrected with full blood.

The next day at noon, after lunch, he went out with Sun Dali and headed towards Zhaiyue Tower.
