Otherworldly Days

Chapter 491

Seeing that the water in the basin had turned into ice, the person wearing a pair of shorts and a vest looked up to the sky and smiled, "Hahahaha..." What's so difficult about this, my master!Isn’t it just ice making? Anyway, he is a science student. I think he was not the first in the class in chemistry back then, but he was also one of the top three in the class.

Anyone who didn't know thought he was crazy.

This time is the hottest month of the year, and the heat has never been so unbearable in previous years, but this year Cao Xiangnan felt that the heat was really unbearable.

Several children in the family developed prickly heat to varying degrees, and Xiao Baoer was even more serious. He had prickly heat all over his body in one night, and it was not good to make a fuss.I went to the old doctor Luo to grab the medicine and came back and boiled a large pot of water for the children at home. After soaking in the medicine bath, I feel better now.

Only Lele didn't have prickly heat, and he didn't even sweat a lot this day. Cao Xiangnan was surprised by this. He changed his clothes in the heat every day and they were all wet. He wished he could take off all his clothes streaking.

It was only now that Cao Xiangnan remembered the matter of making ice. In this era, the use of ice was not so common. Only the palaces and the mansions of the rich and nobles had ice cellars for storing ice. Like ordinary people, they could have a bite to eat. I'm satisfied, I don't want to go around to get these things, I just think that my family doesn't have the spare money to do these things.

There are also ice sold outside, but the price is very expensive. Ordinary people can't afford ice at all, let alone spend that silver taels to buy ice.

There are refrigerators in modern times, and no one has ever thought about making ice by themselves. When Cao Xiangnan was in chemistry class at school, he heard from the chemistry teacher that making ice was as easy as drinking water as long as he got saltpeter. thing.

When the ice was made, the children around asked curiously, "Daddy, what is this?"

"It's ice cubes, put them in the house to cool down, but you can't eat them, you know? I want to eat smoothies for a while, and then I'll make something edible for you, but you can't eat the ones you put in the house, you know, remember. Have you heard from Dad?" Cao Xiangnan repeatedly emphasized that this ice is not edible, to scare the children that if they eat the ice in the house, their stomachs will be gutted.

"Father, let's remember." The children nodded violently. They were afraid that their stomachs would really open up and their intestines would rot, so they covered their stomachs one by one, and they didn't even dare to stretch out their hands to touch them. .

Seeing that scaring was useful, Cao Xiangnan nodded with a slight smile, very satisfied with the effect.

Seeing Fu Lang scaring the little ones, Qi Wanfeng just stood aside and laughed, knowing that one-third of Fu Lang's words must be true, and this ice is not edible.On such a hot day, Fu Lang didn't expect Fu Lang to use a few strange stones to make ice. Even he thought the ground was miraculous.

Looking up, he saw a person standing there laughing. The two people's eyes met. Cao Xiangnan showed his white teeth in a bared smile. He got up and told his wife what the principle of ice making is, and the effect of saltpeter.

Thinking of the function of saltpeter, he remembered that saltpeter also has another function, which is to make explosives.

It's just that it doesn't belong to this era, and it's too lethal and destructive. After thinking about it, Cao Xiangnan still shook off this idea in his mind.

"Huh?" Qi Wanfeng looked at Fulang with doubts when he saw Fulang's expression of not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's nothing." Cao Xiangnan grinned, seeing that the younger ones were all around Bing and didn't notice them, so he leaned over and kissed his wife.

Qi Wanfeng shot Fu Lang a look, with a smile on his lips, but he didn't seem to be angry.

Cao Xiangnan stretched out his finger to catch his daughter-in-law's finger, and he was very happy. Sure enough, life with a daughter-in-law is different, every day is sweet.

After dinner, the water in the jar also froze.

"Okay, let me make you a red bean smoothie, milk smoothie, what flavor do you like?" There were various small bowls on the table, and Cao Xiangnan chopped the ice into smoothies, some with red bean flavor , milk-flavored, washed some fresh fruit, cut into granules, scooped on top of the smoothie, and a glass of smoothie is complete.

Surrounded by a group of children, shouting and jumping, one by one shouting for it.

"Father, I want to eat."

"Daddy, yes, yes" "Okay, don't worry, everyone has it." Cups of smoothies were quickly made, and Cao Xiangnan didn't dare to feed the children too much. The bowl is only half full.

Just now, after dinner at home, Sun Bailian came here with a few children in his family.

Seeing the people who came over, Cao Xiangnan smiled and said, "You guys are at the right place."

"Xiangnan, what are you doing?" Sun Bailian saw the things on the table and asked curiously, not knowing what Cao Xiangnan was up to.Jing Bao ran over and asked, "Uncle Xiang Nan, what is this?"

"I'm making delicious food, this is red bean flavor, this is milk flavor, Jingbao Kangkang, what flavor do you want?" Cao Xiangnan pointed to the food on the table and introduced them one by one, asking the two people who came behind What does a child want.

"Hmm..." Jing Bao was thinking about it and wanted them all.

Kangkang looked at it and said that he wanted the red bean flavor, and Jing Bao followed his brother to ask for the same.

Qi Wanfeng saw Sun Bailian approaching with the three boys in her arms, and clapped her hands. The children saw him and climbed over to be hugged by him, and he took it.The two brothers stood together and talked, and Sun Bailian asked Cao Xiangnan what he was doing.

"Well, that's it. Fu Lang said it's a smoothie, do you want to try it?" Qi Wanfeng said.

Sun Bailian was also curious, nodded and said yes, and ordered a red bean flavor.

"Everyone go sit down there, and you can eat when you sit well." When the smoothies are ready, Cao Xiangnan asked the children around to sit on the stone table over there, "Whoever sits first will be the first!" Eat one," he yelled.

"Go and sit down."

"Go quickly."

Several children screamed and rushed over there and found a seat for each of them to sit down. Little Bao'er didn't even know what the brothers were running, so they chased after them and made a fuss.

Xiangzi hugged the little brother onto the chair, walked over to lead Lele, and sat down on the seat. When everyone sat down, there was no room, and Xiangzi stood next to little Baoer. Looking at brother from behind, afraid that brother would be dishonest.

Lele who was carried up: Brother is not a foodie, brother was just brought here...

"Okay, everyone is seated, right?" Cao Xiangnan took a look and put all the bowls on the tray.Qi Wanfeng walked over and said, "Husband, I'll bring it over." He asked his wife to bring it over, and then made a few more bowls, and everyone who served at home got a share.

It's so comforting to have a bite of cold ice in this weather.

Later, Cao Xiangnan made a few more copies, and asked Liu Yuan to send one to Yipinzhai, and another to the Luo Family Medical Center. The old doctor Luo also had two young grandchildren, and when he came back, he went to pick up Aning and Xuanxuan come here together.

Cao Xiangnan didn't forget about the old doctor Luo if there was something good in the family. After all, if someone in the family felt uncomfortable, he often went to trouble him, so there was also a friendship there.

Luo Rongheng sent someone to find Tian Qi, and it was made into a medicinal powder by old doctor Luo. This thing is of great use.

Especially in this era, it is absolutely right to have a good relationship with the doctor.

"Hurry up and send it over." Otherwise, the sky will melt quickly, Cao Xiangnan ordered.

"Yeah, don't worry, master, I'll send it over now." The two brothers of the Liu family got into the carriage, one drove the carriage, and the other carefully carried the basket to deliver the food.When he came back, he not only brought back A Ning and Xuanxuan, but also the two little grandchildren from the Luo Family Medical Center.

As soon as the family boy went out, Luo Rongheng also came with him.

Luo Rongheng was so moved when he saw the good things that Cao Xiangnan made this day, he grabbed the boy by the neck and pulled him to a corner to connect with him, "You are really good at it, you made all these things out of it." gone."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Cao Xiangnan as soon as he saw this thing. He also wanted to see how this kid fiddled with this smoothie. He didn't believe that Cao Xiangnan would set up an ice cellar at home to store ice.

There is no ice cellar in his medical clinic. In previous years, he seldom spent time at home, and it was still winter when he came back every year. Who would think of making this at home.But now he didn't go to the business, and stayed at home. The weather was unbearably hot, and the clothes on his back were soaked in just a short while.

"Everywhere, they are all small gadgets." Cao Xiangnan laughed straight, and said, "Brother Rong, when you go back later, bring some ice back and put it in the house to cool it down." There was no fan, so it was impossible to sleep at all.

"Thank you, brother." Luo Rongheng was not polite, and was very satisfied that this kid was so good, he didn't need to ask.

But if it's just one day, what should we do in the future?He pulled the man and did not let him go.

The eyes of the two people met, and the two men who smelled of sweat were trapped together. He didn't even know that Luo Rongheng had body odor, and he was almost fainted. Cao Xiangnan held his breath and smirked, and said, " Brother, let someone come over to my house to get it at this time of day every day, and I will keep it for you."

However, he did not forget to remind that this ice cannot be eaten directly, and if you want to eat it, you have to make it separately.

"I remember." Luo Rongheng finally let go, Iron Sand Palm patted Cao Xiangnan's shoulders twice, and said boldly, "Brother, if there is anything you like here, just ask, and brother will send it to you."

"Brother, we are blood brothers, so don't care about such things. Brother Rong, just let me know in advance how much you want, and I will prepare it for you here." Saltpeter can be recycled, so just put a basin of water and throw the saltpeter down. It is only a little troublesome to make the ice for eating, and the ice for making is a trivial matter.

The relationship between him and Luo Rongheng must be true, otherwise he wouldn't have let Luo Rongheng know about his ability to make ice.It's not like Cao Xiangnan doesn't understand the truth that everyone is innocent, but pregnant with bi is guilty.

After sending off the guests at home, it was getting dark.

When Luo Rongheng left, he took two buckets of ice and went back contentedly. He ordered two buckets of ice every day. He didn't want to take advantage of his brother, so he sent someone to send a box of bird's nest.

Two barrels of ice for a box of bird's nest, this matter is definitely taking advantage of him.

Shopkeeper Zhao brought people to his house early in the morning of the second day. Cao Xiangnan was not surprised to see shopkeeper Zhao coming, and knew why he came.

Without waiting for shopkeeper Zhao to speak, he took the recipe for making ice to shopkeeper Zhao. He solemnly reminded that this ice is not edible, because he is afraid that someone will be poisoned if he eats it by mistake. As for the recipe for edible ice, he I also gave one piece.

Shopkeeper Zhao left a bank note here when he left. As for the profits later, he will give him [-]% of the money later.This is a very lucrative business, and the profit is guaranteed without loss. I believe that even at this time, Fang Ziye has the ability to make money, so he just sits and waits to collect the money.

"Brother Zhao, walk slowly!" Cao Xiangnan sent the man out of the door with a smile on his face. This is his God of Wealth.

The God of Wealth waved his hand.
