Chapter 359 Fresh cold drinks are finally successful(1/2)
Although Xiao Yu'er didn't fully understand Chen Chang's plan, he still carried it out to the letter, but his curiosity was always there.
"Xiao Langjun, can you really make ice with this?" This thing is just like the white frost that appears on the tile walls in the winter morning. Can it also make ice?
"Of course we can, Xiaoyu'er, we have to work harder and try to make the first pot of gold at noon tomorrow!"
"Gold? I'll be thankful if I can exchange it for a few copper coins. Don't expect gold." Yan Qianshi's voice sounded from the side.
Chen Chang didn't bother to explain to him what the first pot of gold meant.
Although he knew how to make ice, turning the ideas in his head into actions on his hands and finally the actual results were completely different things.
There is often an insurmountable gap between theory and practice!
"You can work as a worker!"
Chen Chang encouraged himself in his heart.
With Xiao Yu'er's cooperation, he began to experiment. The most difficult part was the ratio of saltpeter to water. After several repeated experiments, Chen Chang finally figured out a way.
At first, he tried a small dose. After roughly grasping the proportion, Chen Chong directly asked Xiaoyuer to use a copper basin to fetch water.
Not long after, Little Face came back with a copper basin of water.
Chen Chang looked at the copper basin and felt a little familiar.
Xiao Yu'er, as if someone had discovered her secret, blushed and whispered: "There are clothes in Xiao Langjun's basin, only this..."
Chen Chang recognized the basin: "I can't worry about that much anymore, let's do it first and then talk about it."
Anyway, it’s not clean and you won’t get sick if you eat it, it’s just a footbath.
Chen Chang gently scraped up a layer of crystal snow with a spoon, and said in his mouth: "This will cost about three cents, plus the water, although it is home-made, it still has to be taken into account.
The labor cost of serving Xiaoyuer and the loss of utensils are probably seven to eight cents."
While he was talking, a spoonful of saltpeter powder was sprinkled into the water.
The powdered nitrate entered the water and dispersed and dissolved lightly. The originally clear and translucent well water gradually became turbid and turned gray-white. Then the water began to stir, as if quicklime had entered the water, and white steam appeared on the surface of the basin.
Chemical reactions occur almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The little fish screamed in surprise.
Yan Qianshi, who was standing aside, also got up from the ground to watch.
The three of them were all staring at the water.
To be honest, Chen Chang was as nervous as them.
Soon the water stopped boiling and began to solidify little by little. As you watched, ripples unique to ice were formed on the water.
Xiao Yu'er and Yan Qianshi were both stunned.
For people who have not gone through nine years of compulsory education, this is indeed a vision.
After a while, Chen Chang felt that it was almost the same. He stretched out his hand and touched the ice and cheered: "Haha, it's done!"
Xiao Yu'er opened his eyes wide and imitated Chen Chang's example by touching the ice with his fingers. The moment his fingertips touched the cold ice, he couldn't help but let out a sweet cry.
Yan Qianshi also wanted to imitate the cat, but was stopped by Chen Chang: "Brother, have you washed your hands? All the ice I made is for people to eat!"
"eat?"
Yan Qianshi's hand couldn't help but drop a little further.
Chen Chang struggled to hold it up, but you get excited when you talk about food. This is too much.
"Brother, go find a kitchen knife quickly and wash your hands by the way."
Yan Qianshi agreed and ran back to the kitchen to get the food.
"Let me have a taste!" After a while, Yan Qianshi pried off a piece with a kitchen knife and was about to put it into his mouth, but Xiao Yu'er stopped him.
Yan Qianshi said angrily: "What's going on with you two? You've stopped me over and over again, and you're just trying to eat a piece of ice, right? Xiao Yu'er, what's going on here?"
Xiao Yu'er's face turned red and he stopped talking.
Chen Chang smiled and said: "Brother, I'm worried that this ice is poisonous. If you die before you leave after eating it, what should you do?"
"So this is what you are worried about!" Yan Qianshi's anger gradually subsided, "Aweng said that I, a human being, have my own destiny. There will be no accidents in this life, and I will definitely live until the day I die."
If you don't control your diet like this, you'll still be alive until the day you die!
Chen Chang didn't believe his lies.
Yan Qianshi looked at the two of them: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I will eat it."
"Brother please!"
"Yan Langjun..."
Under the different reactions of Chen Chang and Xiao Yu'er, Yan Qianshi had already grabbed the ice cube and stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Listening to the rattling sound, Chen Chang was worried that this man's big tooth would be chipped.
Xiao Yu'er's expression became more and more weird.
Yan Qianshi had a smile on his face at first, like he was daring to be the first in the world, but he soon frowned and spit out all the broken ice in his mouth.
"Bah...bah...I bah..."
"Chen Chang, what's wrong with your ice? Why is it so salty? Are you killing the salt seller?"
“There’s also an unspeakable strange smell!”
"Not only that, but the appearance is so ugly. Who would buy it?"
"It's over, it's over. I think you're going to make five hundred guan in half a month."
Yan Qianshi kept talking.
Chen Chang thought for a while and said: "The saltiness may be due to me adding too much saltpeter. As for the taste problem, it can be easily solved by just adding some sugar and fruit juice. Xiao Yu is better at this, and the seasoning work is left to me.
I’ve given it to you, how about it, Xiao Yu’er?”
Desserts always have endless temptation for girls.
Xiao Yu'er nodded, looking forward to the new task he received.
In addition to making some popsicles, Chen Chang is also preparing to make iced sour plum soup, iced watermelon juice and other cold drinks to encourage more flowers.
The doorway has basically been figured out, and the rest is finishing.
There were some fruits at home, so Chen Chang asked Xiaoyuer to make juice first.
Before leaving, Xiao Yu'er looked back at Yan Qianshi.
Yan Qianshi had already gargled his mouth three or four times, but he still felt a little salty in his mouth. Seeing Xiao Yu'er hesitate to speak, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry and go about your business. I'm fine. If you gargle more, you'll be fine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The little fish has a weird expression.
"Yan Langjun, seriously...have you really never thought that the taste of this ice is weird?"
Yan Qianshi was suspicious: "Didn't I tell you just now? It's a bit weird, very salty, and it doesn't look good! What's wrong?"
"No...no more..." Xiao Yu'er's face turned red.
Yan Qianshi scratched his head: "I see you are acting weird, what is it?"
"It's okay!" Xiao Yu'er blushed and walked away as if running away.
Yan Qianshi looked at Xiao Yu'er's back: "Why is this little girl acting so weird? Brother Xian, what's going on with her?"
Just as he was talking, Xiao Yuer suddenly turned around and ran back, picking up the basin: "Should I change the basin?"
Chen Chang looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help laughing anymore.
"Strange!" Monk Yan Qianshi Zhanger was confused.
After Chen Chang waited for Xiao Yu'er to leave, he slowly said: "We have to change the basin, otherwise we won't be able to eat it!"
"Well, it's too salty!" Yan Qianshi blurted out.
After working hard for most of the night, the popsicle was finally successfully developed. It tasted a bit like the old popsicles I had eaten in the past. It would be even better if I added some milk. I don’t know where the cows of this era are.
Xiao Yuer is clever and ingenious, and the various juices he prepares have just the right taste. Coupled with the ice cubes developed by Chen Chong, the taste is excellent.
Yan Qianshi drank a large bowl of each and wanted to drink more, but Chen Chang stopped him abruptly.
There will be an important person assigned to Yan Qianshi tomorrow, but we can't let him suffer from a bad stomach and miss work by squatting in the toilet all day.
At 4:00pm, everything was just sorted out.
It was too late, so Yan Qianshi did not go back and fell asleep with Chen Chang.
Outside, Xiao Yu'er was lying on a small bed with all her clothes on. She had worked hard most of the night, and her body was already exhausted. But just as she felt sleepy, she was completely drowsy by the loud snoring, and she tossed and turned in the small bed.
Pancakes baked on the bed.
I just passed it in a daze for a while, feeling very agitated.
Xiao Yu'er simply got up and sneaked into the cellar.
There were three large jars placed in the cellar, surrounded by ice.
