In less than half a day, the entire Dream Group knew that Du He could make ice. This was a magical skill taught to Du He by the gods.
Du He knows that the ice-making market has huge potential.
So he directly removed a hundred reliable craftsmen from the furniture factory, signed confidentiality contracts with these people, and devoted them all to the ice-making project.
In one afternoon, more than 500 popsicles were produced.
The middle-level managers and above of Dream Group all enjoyed their first popsicles in their lives.
Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi took popsicles and directly occupied Du He's room and the electric fan.
The next day, Du He took two carriages towards Chang'an City early in the morning.
Each carriage has a huge wooden barrel, and the outside of the barrel is wrapped layer by layer with tattered linen cloth.
…
Tai Chi Hall.
After dozens of ministers gathered in the spacious hall, it soon became extremely hot.
For a time, the ministers were sweating on their foreheads, and they all felt extremely uncomfortable.
Li Er was sitting on the dragon chair. There were two palace maids on each side holding huge cattail fans and fanning them rapidly. However, he felt uncomfortable. The air blowing out from the cattail fans was hot air.
In addition, many generals did not take a shower for ten and a half days, and the huge body odor emanated, which made the Tai Chi Hall feel sour.
Even Li Er couldn't help but frown.
Everyone was looking forward to leaving the court as soon as possible, but they didn't know that today's morning court proceedings were particularly long. For a while, everyone was miserable.
At this moment, the eunuch Ximen Qing hurried into the Taiji Hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, are you asking for an audience outside the Yi County Bo Hall?"
Li Er was stunned and asked: "Why do you want to see Du He? Is it a work-for-relief thing?"
Ximen Qing said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the county uncle said that he came to bring warmth."
The ministers looked puzzled.
Sending warmth?
Everyone is almost overheated, but Du He still wants to send warmth. Is it possible that he wants to overheat everyone to death?
Li Er was confused and said: "Xuan Duhe comes to see you."
"Xuanyi County Bo Shangdian!"
Immediately, Du He walked in swaggeringly.
As soon as he entered the palace, Du He hurriedly covered his nose and said loudly: "Oh, let me go, who is this guy? I'm afraid he hasn't showered in three months. This smell... is so sour."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone had endured enough for a long time, but no one said anything. Now when Du He said it, their emotions were aroused.
Li Er asked: "Du He, why did you come to the palace today?"
Du He hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the temperature has continued to rise in the past few days, and the people are suffering unspeakably. I even heard that the ministers of the imperial court discuss matters in the palace every day. It is extremely hot and stuffy. The people of the world have been suffering from the high temperature for a long time. Therefore, I am special today.
Come and bring warmth to everyone."
Changsun Wuji curled his lips: "Du He, I think it's better for you not to cause trouble and let everyone finish the discussion and leave the court."
"Yes, Uncle Yixian, we are almost dying from the heat, and you still want to give us warmth. Is it possible that you can give everyone animal skin coats?"
"Please leave quickly, I can hardly hold on any longer."
Many people were eager for Du He to leave quickly, because every time Du He arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, the morning session would become extremely long.
Plop.
Suddenly there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Someone shouted: "Oh no, Wang Situ fainted."
Everyone turned around and saw that the old king could not hold on and fainted.
Looking at him again, his face was pale and he was sweating, but he was suffering from heat stroke.
Li Er hurriedly shouted: "Send the imperial doctor to help Wang Situ down for diagnosis and treatment."
I saw two imperial doctors coming in a hurry, and with the help of the guards, they helped the king down.
Li Er just wanted to announce his resignation, but he heard Du He say: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, today I am here to help you relieve the scorching heat. I have been sleepless recently and spent seven days and nights to finally invent a way to relieve the heat."
The artifact has been specially delivered to the palace today for everyone to appreciate it."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked curious.
Apart from Du He's other talents, his invention and creation skills are unrivaled in the world.
Li Er said happily: "What kind of magical tool is it to relieve summer heat? Please bring it up to me and let me see it."
Snap.
Du He clapped his hands.
I saw Ximen Qing leading four guards and carrying two bath buckets up to the main hall.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the two big wooden barrels.
Let’s not talk about the bath bucket. The key point is that the outside of the bucket is wrapped in three layers of tattered linen cloth, which is as tattered as if it were picked up from the garbage dump.
Du He said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, this is the magical weapon to relieve summer heat."
"What is this?" Li Er asked curiously.
"Big ice stick, hehe!" Du He introduced.
With that said, Du He stepped forward and personally uncovered the rags wrapped outside layer by layer. After opening the lid, he took out a piece of bamboo and after cracking it open, there was a popsicle inside.
Everyone took a closer look and saw the cold air coming from the popsicle.
Du He started chewing it in front of everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but lick their lips for a while.
People who were very close could feel the coolness coming from the open wooden barrel.
Li Er couldn't help but run down.
At this time, Changsun Wuji said with disgust: "This...this popsicle is indeed extraordinary, but you, uncle of Yi County, wrapped it with such tattered things and used a bath bucket to hold it. You are so filthy that you
Do you want us all to eat like you?"
Du He laughed and said: "Master Changsun, you can't just take everything at face value. This bath bucket has been cleaned, and as for this rag, it was indeed discarded by my dream group, but it was just wrapped outside and did not contaminate the popsicles.
"
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji shook his head repeatedly and said in disgust: "I, Changsun Wuji, will not eat your popsicle even if I die from the heat."
Du He smiled slightly, said nothing, and asked, "Who would like to try it?"
Qin Qiong was the first to stand up: "When I was fighting at the border, I even drank my own urine, so why should I be afraid of this popsicle?"
After saying that, Qin Qiong took a popsicle from Du He's hand and started chewing it.
Then, I saw him hurriedly covering the right side of his face.
Everyone was shocked and thought something had happened to Qin Qiong.
But Qin Qiong laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, it's so refreshing, haha, it's just that I'm old and can't eat so fast, hahaha, it still tastes a little sweet..."
As he spoke, instead of slowing down, he chewed faster.
This popsicle was improved by Du He and put some sugar in it, so it tastes much better.
When everyone saw this, they gritted their teeth and risked their lives.
"Uncle Yixian, give me one."
"I want one too!"
Even Li Er couldn't help but take one and licked it, with a satisfied look on his face.
Finally, in the entire hall, only Changsun Wuji did not eat popsicles.
After a long time, Changsun Wuji finally couldn't bear it anymore, quietly walked to the side, picked up one, and took a few bites.
Du He saw it and asked with a smile: "Master Changsun, how do you like this popsicle?"
Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "The popsicles are so fragrant!"
"Hahaha……"
In the Tai Chi Hall, joyous laughter suddenly erupted.
