Looking at his eldest son's flying eyes, Mr. Xu waved his hands in disgust and said: "Get out, get out, get out, don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"
“…”
Boss Xu was speechless. He felt that his father was too difficult to take care of.
After leaving the main room and going back to his own room, Mr. Xu saw the small basket of lychees placed on the table.
"Daughter-in-law, what is this?"
"Huh? Why is it still ice?"
Boss Xu reached out and grabbed a lychee with a curious look on his face.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "My mother brought it here. She said it was a gift from King Yan. It's called lychee. Peel it off and eat the pulp inside. Then spit out the core."
"Is that so?"
Boss Xu quickly peeled off a lychee and handed it directly to Mrs. Zhou's mouth, "Daughter-in-law, take one first!"
"you eat first!"
Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "You are the head of the family, you must eat first!"
"We don't talk about this in our family!"
Mr. Xu laughed and waved his hand, signaling Zhou to open his mouth.
Only then did Zhou open her mouth and call out the lychee that Boss Xu brought to her mouth.
The cold lychee, the sweet and sour taste, made Zhou instantly look intoxicated.
“Good times (eat)!”
Zhou had a lychee in her mouth and her speech was a little slurred.
Boss Xu peeled off another one and said, "Let me try it."
"Well, it's really good!"
However, although lychees do taste good, Boss Xu is obviously not very interested.
He looked at the small ice cubes mixed in the lychees, and what he was more concerned about was these ice cubes. The lychees must have been delivered from the south by a fast horse. Even if there were ice cubes in the basket at that time, the ice cubes would not have been kept until now. In other words, King Yan has the method of making ice.
Boss Xu sighed. If he could get this ice-making method, he could make a lot of money selling ice in the summer.
Unfortunately, this idea is destined to be unrealistic.
In the evening, Xu Laosan came back riding his fake Zhaoyuye Lion.
The lychees that Mrs. Xu sent to his room were not touched. Although Mrs. Wang was greedy, she still held back.
Today's Wang family has really matured a lot since having those twins. In dealing with others, I am slowly learning from Mrs. Xu and her two sisters-in-law.
This man is smart and sincerely wants to learn, so he will naturally make great progress.
The family had dinner and while they were enjoying the cool air in the yard, Mr. Xu told Mr. Xu about ice cubes.
As a result, after listening to his elder brother's words, Xu Laosan was happy at that time.
"Brother, what's so difficult about this? Just wait for me!"
Xu Laosan stood up quickly and quickly went to the kitchen to find a small wooden basin and a porcelain bowl.
Fill the small wooden basin with water, put the porcelain bowl with water, and put the porcelain bowl into the small wooden plate filled with water.
Then, he went out and walked around, got a bunch of white stuff and poured it into the water in the small tub.
"Lao San, is this ground frost?"
Mr. Xu stared at Mr. Xu. There were a lot of those white things under the walls of the old houses in the village.
"That's right!"
Xu Laosan smiled proudly, "This is called the saltpeter ice making method, and it has been recorded in the book for a long time."
"I, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, relied on this method to make his fortune. Brother, let me tell you, this method..."
Boss Xu was not interested in listening to Xu Laosan's showoff, and waved directly, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me how long it will take for this thing to freeze into ice!"
"Uh, I, don't know!"
Xu Laosan was instantly blinded.
He knew about the method of making ice with saltpeter, but he had never operated it. (End of chapter)
