Chapter 57: Take away all of Li Shimin's ice cubes!
After saying that, Li Chengfeng turned around and left, while Eunuch Wu picked up an oil-paper umbrella and shaded Li Chengfeng from the sun.
Under the guidance of Eunuch Wu, Li Chengfeng arrived at the imperial dining room smoothly.
"The Eighth Prince has arrived!"
After Eunuch Wu shouted, everyone in the imperial dining room welcomed Li Chengfeng's arrival in unison.
Li Chengfeng frowned and said, "Where is the manager of your imperial kitchen? Let him come out to see me!"
"Reporting to the Eighth Prince, the youngest one is the butler of the imperial kitchen, Liu Fugui!"
A fat man walked out of the crowd and looked at Li Chengfeng with a smile.
Liu Fugui said: "Eighth Prince, is the food cooked by the younger one not to your liking?"
"no!"
"Then, may I ask, Eighth Prince, what is the purpose of your visit to the imperial dining room?"
"I want to know where is the ice cellar in your royal kitchen? I want to get some ice cubes back, but that's not too much, right?"
"ah?"
As soon as he said this, Liu Fugui's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look.
Just listen to Liu Fugui say: "Return, report back to the Eighth Prince! The ice cubes under the cellar are gone!"
"Impossible. The last time I came to the imperial kitchen to choose ingredients, I clearly saw that there was still a large piece of ice. How could it be gone?"
"It's true! Due to the recent hot weather, the ice cubes under the cellar have melted into water and seeped into the ground! Therefore, the ice cubes are gone, but there is still some ice water. Do you need it, Eighth Prince?"
"I don't believe it. Get out of my way, Prince. I don't believe it. There's not even any ice left!"
The weather was so hot, Li Chengfeng originally wanted to get some ice cubes to make some shaved ice.
How to make shaved ice without ice cubes and how to relieve the heat?
So, Li Chengfeng directly pushed Liu Fugui away, then swayed to the cellar in the backyard of the imperial kitchen with his hands behind his back.
Li Chengfeng opened the cellar and took a look, feeling a burst of cold air.
There was a large tank of ice water inside, with several ice cubes floating on it.
Liu Fugui said with a bitter look on his face: "Look, Eighth Prince, I told you there was no ice! You still don't believe it!"
"No? How dare you lie to me? What are these ice cubes floating on the water? Are they not ice cubes but stones?"
"Eunuch Wu!"
"Slave here!"
"Salt up these ice cubes for me and transport them back to the Prince's Mansion!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"
"Ding, the panic from Liu Fugui, the naughty value is 10!"
Liu Fugui was stunned and rushed: "Eighth Prince, these ice cubes are left for the emperor's use by the villain! As we all know, the emperor and the supreme emperor are most afraid of the heat! Especially today, there is a severe summer drought, and the streets are extremely hot.
Damn! If you, the Eighth Prince, take away the Emperor’s ice cubes and the Emperor blames you, this villain can’t afford it!”
"Oh, then he has to heat me if he can't heat me? I have to take away these ice cubes today!"
So, Li Chengfeng ordered Eunuch Wu to salvage all the ice cubes from the cellar.
Filled a pot full, then turned around and walked away.
Liu Fugui wanted to die.
The eighth prince took away all the remaining ice cubes. If the emperor blamed him, how would he bear the responsibility?
…
On the way back, Eunuch Wu said worriedly: "Eighth Prince, you have taken away all the ice cubes from the Emperor. What will happen if the Emperor blames you?"
"No! My father is a wise king, I am just ice cubes, harmless!"
"Besides, these ice cubes are going to melt tonight if they are placed inside. If you don't throw them away now, they will turn into cold water sooner or later at night!"
"Oh, so that's it!"
"Of course! If these ice cubes are given to my father, they are just ice cubes, but if they are developed for me, they will become a delicious food!"
Li Chengfeng happily returned to the Zhenwang Mansion carrying a large basin of ice cubes.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Chengfeng saw two little girls tinkering with their electric fans in the hall of the Prince's Mansion.
Li Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that those two beautiful little girls were his sister, Princess Changle, and the little girl from the Wu family, Wu Xu.
Why are they here?
Wu Xu looked at Li Chengfeng with his big eyes and said, "Hello, Eighth Prince!"
"Brother, you are finally back!"
Princess Changle also had a bright smile on her face.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Sister, Xiao Wu, why do you have time to come and play in my town's palace?"
Princess Changle puffed up her cheeks, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Isn't it because the weather is too hot?"
"Originally, I wanted to ask my servants to get some ice cubes, but my servant said that there was no ice cubes in the royal kitchen! But I had no choice, so I ran to my brother and turned on the electric fan!"
"But how should I use this electric fan?"
Princess Changle looked curiously at the electric fan aside.
I saw Wu Xu stretching out his slender little finger, playing with the wooden blades of the electric fan, and said: "Yes, Eighth Prince! It's obviously just a piece of wood, but how can it spin around and send out cool wind?"
Wu Xu's eyes were full of curiosity.
In fact, she admired Li Chengfeng's intelligence.
Let’s not start with how he invented the electric fan. Just the fact that he defeated Du Ruhui in martial arts and Wei Zheng in chess were enough to make everyone in the palace talk about it!
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Of course the wooden electric fan won't spin! Because it has no power!"
"Eunuch Wu, shake!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Wu picked up the manual generator nearby.
Li Chengfeng said: "Did you see it? The small piece of wood in Eunuch Wu's hand is a small generator! You don't understand the principle of the generator, but you have to know that electricity can drive the electric fan to rotate!"
"Buzz buzz..."
"Princess Changle, look, the electric fan is spinning!"
"Wow, it's true! There's a cool wind blowing!"
The electric fan rotated, and the cool breeze blew out Li Lizhi and Wu Xu's hair.
The two little girls had happy smiles on their faces.
Li Chengfeng also smiled happily.
"Princess Changle, I really want an electric fan so that it won't get too hot when I sleep at night!"
"Well, the only drawback is that it needs to be shaken manually! Actually, I want one too!"
Li Lizhi puffed up her cheeks and looked at Li Chengfeng, but was too embarrassed to ask.
Li Lizhi looked at the ice cubes on the table, suddenly her eyes widened and she said, "Hey, brother, where did you get the ice cubes?"
"Go to the imperial kitchen to get it?" Li Chengfeng replied.
Li Lizhi frowned and said, "No way, my servant just said that there was no ice in the imperial kitchen. Did he lie to me?"
"No, no, no, sister, there is really no ice in the imperial dining room now! Moreover, these ice cubes in my hand were actually left by Liu Fugui to my father, but I took them all away!"
"What?"
"Ding, the surprise from Li Lizhi, the naughty value is 12!"
