Chapter 15 I understand every word you say, but
June in Chang'an City is the hottest time of the year.
Even in the evening, it is still so hot that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
After finally waiting for Ying Er to buy all the things back, Qin Xiedao couldn't wait to prepare for some delicious food to reduce the heat.
"Langjun, everything is ready. Do you want to go to the kitchen yourself?"
Although Ying Er is not old, she has been bought by the Qin Mansion for seven or eight years. She still has some understanding of the situation of the nobles in Chang'an.
To be honest, she didn't hear any noble man from the kitchen who went to cook.
That's the cook's job.
"Let's go, bring a few pounds of saltpeter!"
Qin Xiedao, regardless of how strange Ying'er's vision was, hurried towards the kitchen.
What kind of gentleman doesn't take it seriously if he stays away from the kitchen?
If you can make yourself eat better, you must eat better.
Although the Qin family is short of money now, he does not think that with his own abilities, this will be a problem.
"Langjun, the milk you mentioned is really not easy to find in Chang'an City. These are all horse milk, and I think they are all the same."
After arriving at the kitchen, Ying Er saw that Qin Xiedao was really busy there, so she quickly explained the situation clearly.
"No problem, just let's have horse milk!"
Qin Xiedao glanced at the black frosting and sighed in his heart.
In the face of this difference, the difference between horse milk and cow milk is nothing special.
However, this made him realize a business opportunity and he could do it well later.
Steamed horse milk, separated egg yolks, stir...
Qin Xiedao's movements were very fast, and in just two quarters of an hour, a few bowls of black double-skinned milk appeared in front of everyone.
"Langjun, can this thing be eaten? It smells like a faint fragrance?"
Ying Er wanted to help, but found that she couldn't help with anything.
When the final product came out, I realized that this thing looked delicious.
"You can eat it now, but on hot days, this way of eating is not the best. Just wait a little longer."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Xiedao put a copper basin filled with a small amount of clean water into a large wooden basin, and then put a bowl of double-skin milk into the copper basin.
Ying Er couldn't understand the subsequent actions at all.
During the interim, Qin Xiedao poured saltpeter into a wooden basin and added clean water.
In an instant, fog began to emerge from the wooden basin.
Ying Er's little face was full of surprise, and she was waiting in the kitchen with Qin Xiedao in anticipation.
...
"Luye, are Xiedao and Ying Er still in the kitchen?"
In the backyard, Zhang sat under a pomegranate tree with a sad face to enjoy the cool air.
As a mistress, she needs to consider a lot.
Whose family has a wedding and wedding ceremony and what gifts do they need to give?
There is nothing at home and I need to buy it.
The weather has changed and you need to consider re-purchasing clothes.
She was basically planning all kinds of things.
But she also has a two-year-old son and two-month-old daughter to take care of, and she has a lot of things to worry about.
Now that Qin Xiedao has relied on his ancestors, although she has some concerns, she is still very generous in overall welcome.
A while ago, Qin Xiedao was on duty at Xuanwu Gate and refused to come back. She was actually very worried.
However, now that Qin Xiedao is back, she is even more worried after only two days.
But the things that were worried about began to change.
"Yes, I've been tossing in the kitchen for a while. Ying Er also specially sent someone to squeeze a pot of horse milk to take it over, and I don't know what to do in it."
Green leaves are actually not welcome to the appearance of Qin Xiedao.
As Zhang's personal maid, Luye has been with Zhang since she was a child, so naturally he always puts Zhang's interests first in considering problems.
Obviously, in her opinion, Qin Xiedao's recognition of his ancestors and his descendants was not a good thing for Zhang or Qin Huaidao, who was only two years old.
However, it wasn't her turn, a maid, to make the decision.
"Oh, forget it, Xiedao has suffered over the years. How much he wants to do, let him do it first."
It's not his own, and he is so old, so Zhang thinks it's not right to beat him or scold him, so he has to feel wronged himself first.
"Alang went to General Chang's house for a banquet today. When he came back, why don't you find an opportunity to mention it to him? Dalang spent money like this and spent it completely meaninglessly. Our Qin family can't hold on at all."
"Let's see it in a few days! If Xiedao just started to live home, I would say that he was not right in front of Shubao, and it wouldn't be appropriate."
It is hard to be a stepmother, it has been like this in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
...
"Langjun, this...the water surface is frozen!"
In the kitchen, Ying Er stared at the smokey water surface in amazement, and found that after a while, the water there began to freeze.
It's summer now.
This phenomenon that transcends her cognition has brought absolutely amazing impact.
"Yes, it's frozen! This pair of skin milk should be iced to taste good! I was too hasty today. If I could add some fruit into it, it would definitely be better."
As a southerner who settled in Guangzhou, Qin Xiedao used to like eating double-skin milk.
I once drove to Shunde with my best friend to eat double-skin milk from the internet celebrity.
The same thing tastes different from what you eat in a store in Guangzhou and in Shunde.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect.
"No, Langjun, why does this freeze?"
At this time, Ying Er's focus was no longer on double-skin milk.
On the contrary, it was so shocking that ice cubes appeared in front of you at such a time.
In Chang'an City, it is not only winter that there can be ice.
Some wealthy families, even in the palace, also have special ice cellars to store ice cubes.
Those are specially transported to ice cellars in winter and taken out to eat in summer.
Most people cannot enjoy this luxury at all.
"It's very simple. After adding water to saltpeter, it will absorb heat, reduce the temperature of the water, and then drop to a certain level, and it will naturally freeze."
Ying Er:???
Why do I understand every word you say, but if you connect it, I don’t know what it means?
"Okay, you don't have to know that much. Just know that you can make ice in this way. You can bring two bowls of double-skinned milk to the backyard later, and then leave a bowl for Aye, and bring the rest to my room."
As the task was about to be completed, Qin Xiedao breathed a sigh of relief.
But I feel a little regretful.
When I came back today, I saw a melon farmer selling watermelons and forgot to buy one and came back.
