Originally, Nalant wanted to use perfume to take revenge on Aldin, but it took a lot of planning to actually do it.
But now with the emergence of saltpeter, it has become simple!
Returning to the castle, Nalant directly handed a box of saltpeter to Catherine and asked her to follow the castle servants to the mill to grind the saltpeter into powder.
After Catherine left, he sent his servant to Tulip City to buy copper basins and wooden basins needed for making ice.
It was almost evening before the preparations were completed.
Seeing that dinner time was almost here, Narant simply waited until there were fewer people in the evening to start this otherworldly ice-making project.
…
That night.
In the welcome area of Tulip Castle, Narant and his three girls were walking on the green ground.
"Sir, are there really milk-flavored ice cubes to eat tonight?" Little girl Shirley asked curiously, holding a large copper basin in her hand.
"Your Majesty, when have I ever deceived anyone?" Nalant walked at the front, and the three girls also became coolies, holding a lot of items in their hands, "Okay, let's stay here!"
Nalant looked around and saw that there was no one around, then waved his hand to signal the three women to stop by the small lake.
"Vivian, go to the lake to fetch some water and fill this big wooden basin!" After the three girls stopped, Nalant immediately started giving instructions again without giving them any time to rest.
"Yes, sir!" Vivian didn't hesitate and immediately took the bucket to fetch water.
After a while, the oversized wooden basin was almost filled with lake water.
"Now it's time to put the copper basin in! Shirley, put the copper basin in!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, Shirley put the copper basin directly into the wooden basin as instructed. When the excess water in the wooden basin overflowed, Nalant nodded with satisfaction.
"Catherine, pour the bucket of water in your hand into the copper basin!"
The water in Catherine's hand was brought from the small building. It was boiled cold water!
"Okay, sir!" Catherine immediately obeyed.
"Hey, now we've come to the last two steps!" After the copper basin was filled with water, Nalant picked up the milk and sugar in his hand and poured it into the copper basin.
Gudong!
Shirley swallowed hard when she saw the snow-white milk and sugar.
After the milk and sugar were poured into the copper basin, Nalant took a bag of white powder and poured it into the wooden basin. It was the saltpeter powder that Catherine had been asked to crush.
"Done!"
After the saltpeter powder was added to the wooden basin and a large wooden board prepared in advance was placed on top of the wooden basin, Nalant clapped his hands.
"Sir, can you eat milk and ice cubes like this?" Shirley's eyes widened, feeling a little unreal.
Just put some water, add some milk, and then add the white powder, how can ice cubes appear?
Although it is dark now, the surrounding weather is still so hot. How could it freeze?
My lord doesn't know magic.
Catherine and Vivian also stared at Nalant with beautiful eyes, obviously equally curious about this.
"It's that simple. When you are two children, I guarantee that you will eat these delicious milk ice cubes!" Narant said, patting his chest and vowing.
With saltpeter, making ice is actually very simple.
The principle is that saltpeter will react when it meets water and absorb a large amount of heat in the water.
According to this principle, Narant prepared a wooden basin and a copper basin, and placed the copper basin inside the wooden basin like a matryoshka doll.
Water was added to both basins. The water in the wooden basin was used to react with the saltpeter powder, so it was not edible, while the cold boiled water in the copper basin was the part that could be eaten later.
This is because saltpeter is poisonous, and eating a large amount of it will cause great damage to the liver. Therefore, the copper basin plays a role as a barrier. However, because of its good thermal conductivity, it can achieve the purpose of freezing with the help of the water temperature in the wooden basin.
.
"Well! That's great, sir. You are really a wise nobleman. Shirley likes you the most!" After hearing Nalant's assurance, Shirley finally felt at ease, and she could really taste ice cubes again.
Already.
The glass of iced juice she had at noon yesterday is still fresh in her memory.
"Haha! However, it's a long night and it's still hard to wait for two hours. Catherine, are you ready with the ingredients that Rose asked you to prepare?"
"Sir, it's ready, it's right here!" Catherine immediately pointed to the small basket beside her, which contained a lot of prepared meat, such as beef, chicken legs, chicken wings, etc., "But my lord, what do you mean?
Chef Rose said that the wild fire seeds are not available in the city because few people in the city eat this spicy ingredient."
"Well, I forgot about this! But there should be one in the castle kitchen." In this world, the ingredient chili is not very popular, because most of the time it can only be used when making barbecue.
Commoners and serfs could not afford such luxury. Even if they had a little bit of meat, it would be used to stew soup to prevent the fat from drying out.
"Shirley, you go to the stone house outside to find your mother now. Sir, I will go to the castle kitchen to find Ye Huozi!" Nalant made a decision immediately.
As for why I went there in person, it was because there were some areas in the castle that Catherine and the others could not go to if they wanted to, and only Nalant, a nobleman, could go to some unimportant core areas at will.
After giving the instructions, Nalant and Shirley split up, leaving Catherine and Vivian to guard the tub.
Nalant left the reception area and headed directly towards the main body of the castle.
When he arrived at the main perimeter of the castle, he stopped a passing maid.
"My lord, I don't know if there is anything I can do for you. The maid saw the gold badge on Nalant's chest and bowed respectfully."
"I'm going to bake some food in the reception area. However, I lack the ingredients for the barbecue, so I want you to take me to the castle kitchen and ask the cook for some wildfire seeds!"
"Okay, sir, please come with me!" Without saying a word, the maid led Nalant towards the side door of the inner castle.
The main body of Tulip Castle is very grand, so the entrance and exit doors naturally do not have the same front and back doors as the Lucky Castle.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When they came to a side door, they were questioned by the guards on duty.
"I am Narant Berwick, and I am going to the kitchen to find some ingredients!" Narant showed his badge and birthday invitation.
"Yes, Sir Narant, please!" The guards immediately let him go after confirming that it was correct. However, after Narant left, the guards looked at Narant's back with some curiosity.
In fact, apart from the guards, the maid who was leading Nalant could not help but quicken her breathing slightly after hearing Nalant announce his name.
"Sir, this is the kitchen. Please wait a moment. I will help you ask for ingredients from the cook now!" The maid was very attentive and took her outside the kitchen and whispered to Narant.
"Yeah!" Nalant nodded!
The maid didn't go long, and returned from the kitchen a moment later, already holding a packet of red pepper powder in her hand.
"Sir, this is the wild fire ingredient you want!"
"Well, thank you!" Nalant thanked him and reached out to take it.
It's no wonder that the noble Sir was so polite. At this moment, the maid's face actually had a slight blush.
Nalant thought that she must be tired from guiding him, so he didn't show off and thanked her.
"You're welcome, sir! Is there anything else I can do for you?" However, at the next moment, Nalant was suddenly startled.
Because he was actually molested by this little maid.
When the little maid handed over the red pepper powder, her warm fingers actually gently touched his palm on purpose.
Although she is a maid, the maid in the Earl's Castle is also considered to have tender skin and tender flesh, and the touch is still very good.
"Hiss! Am I so handsome now?"
After reacting, Nalant couldn't help but think to himself, especially since this little maid took advantage and said in a meaningful way, 'Is there anything else I can do for you?'
When she said this, the maid was shy and her eyes were watery.
Nalant was sure that this little maid was seducing him.
"How is it possible to use such despicable means to get my lord?"
Nalant naturally resisted the temptation. Although this little maid was also of average level, the three Vivian girls were much better than her, so he would not be stupid enough to act recklessly in this Earl's castle.
If he can't afford to offend him, he can afford to hide.
"Ahem! Thank you for your service, no need!" After saying that, Nalant left a majestic figure behind the little maid, and then disappeared directly from the side door of the inner castle.
When the little maid saw Nalant leaving, she couldn't help but look disappointed.
"Mira, didn't you succeed?" At this moment, another maid walked out of the kitchen.
"No!" Mira nodded disappointedly.
"It seems that Lord Narant is really an affectionate nobleman. If he had known it, I would give it a try! Challenging a nobleman for a maid is just like what is written in the script. How romantic it is!
"
Little did Nalant know that although the rumors about the duel had weakened his reputation as a loser, he had achieved a majestic image in the minds of the maids in the castle.
For example, Mira was overwhelmed by his stature, so she engaged in a blatant seduction.
Moreover, Mira is not the only one who dares to do such a thing, there are more maids coveting his handsome body!
