Chapter two hundred and thirty ninth feast
However, even though it was delicious, he still couldn't change his cunning and mean nature.
Ice crystal! That’s right!
Among the snowflake cheese, the most expensive raw material is the ice crystals used as the base.
The Tang Dynasty already had a mature ice-making industry, and every family of wealthy dignitaries had ice cellars, also known as ice shops.
Every winter, large pieces of ice cubes are stored in an ice cellar with extremely low temperature, and then taken out to cool down in the next summer.
You can simply blow the air to cool down, or you can also make iced food.
If you don’t have a dedicated ice cellar at home, don’t worry. As I said a long time ago, Chang’an City in the Tang Dynasty has formed a relatively mature civil society. As long as there is demand, there will be supply.
There are many shops that specialize in selling ice crystals, but the ice crystals purchased in this way are of course much more expensive than those stored at home.
As far as Li Zhi knows, Shen An's home does not have an ice cellar. It's not that he can't afford one, but that when his father Shen Quan was still alive, he was a very simple and frugal person. He couldn't afford something as luxurious as an ice cellar. I wouldn't have thought of doing it.
By the time Shen An was supporting the family alone, it was too late to store ice, so the ice crystals on his plate must have been bought from the street.
Hey, only a rich man like him dares to use ice crystals to make such delicious snacks!
"Yes, it cost a lot of money."
"However, I think ice crystals are only interesting to eat in the summer. When the weather gets colder, I won't eat them even if they give me money."
"Thinking of this, I don't feel sorry for the money anymore. However, this is just for you, so I am willing to give it out."
"Otherwise, I will keep it all for myself and eat it!"
"That's right, I was supposed to have a share!" When she mentioned this, Fu Rong became angry. Watching them eat all the snowflake cheese on the plate little by little, even the melted water was not much left, which made her heartache. The feeling is simply unbelievable!
Finally, she couldn't help but complain. Sure enough, the two good friends present looked up at her with surprised expressions on their faces.
She hurriedly covered her mouth. With their prominent status, she had no right to speak here.
"Mr. Sir, I'm leaving now." She ran away in a hurry. In her haste, she dropped her silk clothes on the ground several times. She picked them up and ran as hard as she could into the backyard. She was extremely embarrassed.
"Mr. Shen, is this really what you guys are eating?" Even though he said this, he didn't stop talking for a moment and continued to eat happily. If it hadn't been for the fact that the plate belonged to Li Zhi, he might have They even grabbed that plate and ate it.
Fang Er has strong muscles and bones. Not to mention one plate of this ice cream, he can eat three plates in a row without any problem!
"Hey, don't think too much. I just made a few dishes. I didn't say it must be for her. It's just that she is greedy."
"Oh, then I'm relieved." Li Zhi nodded and could finally continue to eat heartily.
It has to be said that on such a hot day, you need such cool and refreshing food to survive!
After eating this, I feel instantly refreshed and the pores all over my body are relaxed.
However, Li Zhi ate so slowly that Fang Er was very greedy and always wanted to keep his share for himself.
That is to say, Shen An is the most aware of current affairs. From just now, he has not eaten the plate that belongs to him.
There is no other reason. He made this food himself. If he wants to eat it, he can eat it at any time. There is no need to rush.
Furthermore, looking at the way they eat, it is definitely not enough to just eat a little. Furong is also a little girl, in fact, he made a large basin early in the morning, and they all nestled in the basin filled with crushed ice. Waiting to eat slowly.
It was nice of her to be sent on this errand. I wonder if she felt sorry that she hadn't eaten yet, but it was an advantage for these two people, so she used a small plate.
Fortunately, these two people are not delicate-minded and did not notice this small difference.
"If you don't mind it, just eat my share."
"Really?" Fox Zhi blinked his eyes, which was called attentiveness. As for Fang Er, he was definitely not that shy.
They broke up immediately: "Mr. Shen, I know you are a cheerful person."
"That's right, I heard that you didn't want to make medicinal meals. I thought you would stop making food, and I felt a little unhappy."
"I didn't expect that although you stopped making medicinal meals, you still made snowflake cheese. You really lived up to expectations!" What Li Zhi said was true. He rushed to Shen An early in the morning, not just to monitor him. How to make medicinal food, and more importantly, he also wanted to have a meal.
This man's mentality is sometimes so subtle. As one of the most noble people in the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, Xiao Li Zhi, can be said to have everything he asks for, and there is nothing he can't get. Every day, everyone in his house The boys and the chef were all trying their best to make him happy.
They could get whatever Li Zhi could think of, including delicacies from mountains and seas, birds and beasts, and tried every means to make him happy.
Who knows, the more you coax him, the worse the effect will be.
Ever since he and Shen An became neighbors, his temperament has become more and more strange. The delicious food specially cooked for him always feels boring to him, but the side dishes that Shen An makes casually feel extremely delicious to him.
As long as he gets a chance, he will sneak into Shen's house and get some food for free, like a child who eats from hundreds of families.
Due to his status, he could not come to report every day. This time he finally found an opportunity to bring the topic to food in a roundabout way.
Unexpectedly, someone actually claimed not to make medicinal diets. Isn’t this a waste of his feelings?
Fortunately, with this cold and delicious snowflake cheese in his stomach, Fox Zhi's mood finally calmed down. Several people chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After satisfying his appetite, Li Zhi felt much better. Just a moment ago, his mouth was still pouting, as if he could hang a kettle without falling off.
But now, he was already smiling happily, enjoying the delicious food. His mind, which was always full of ideas, began to hatch new plans.
"Mr. Shen, yesterday you said you were going to make a new bomb. Is this true?"
"Could it be that he refused to hand over the things and deliberately lied?"
Hearing what he said, Shen An was stunned. Where did this child go? If he wanted to keep it secret, he would never have made it.
"Of course it's not a lie, it's all true."
"Your Highness has seen the power of this explosive. If such a weapon can be put on the battlefield, it will be a weapon for the Tang army to conquer all directions."
"That's right!"
"Why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier and still hide it?" Li Zhi blinked his big eyes with an innocent look on his face.
This time he really didn't know the reason why Shen An insisted on doing this. Shen An naturally knew what he was thinking. Young man, he was impatient.
