Chen Xu asked someone to find a clay pot and clean it by himself. He gently found a piece of clean linen gauze spun with fine linen, wrapped it with almost half a pound of jelly, and filled it with half a basin of clean water. After washing his hands, he sat on a small stool and started kneading and rubbing.

I heard that the Marquis wanted to make another delicious food that cools down the heat. The Marquis' housekeeper and the managers of all sizes came over to watch. The chef's maids and servants also surrounded a large group. Yu Wuya, Shui Qingrou, Xing'er, Yu Ji and Chen Jiang also stood beside him and watched carefully.

However, as Chen Xu began to turn and turn in the basin, and squeezed while washing, leaving behind a sticky liquid, Yu Wuya's face shook constantly.

"My benefactor, how does this look like..."

"Stop!" Chen Xu rolled his eyes fiercely.

Yu Wuya had no choice but to swallow the word "snot" and continued to thrust as Chen Xu's movements.

After nearly twenty minutes of rubbing and squeezing, the water in the basin had become very sticky, and the jelly in the burlap bag had almost been washed.

At about this time, two servants who went to pick lotus roots came back in mud and brought back a few large lotus roots, which were white and tender as thick as arms. They looked very attractive after washing them.

Break off a piece of white and tender lotus root node, peel off the outer skin and mash it into lotus root paste, add a little water and let it sit for a while, then pour a layer of clear liquid on it into the clay pot, stir it gently for a few times, and then put it in the wooden barrel where the popsicles are placed on weekdays and cover it with a lid.

Ice powder will also condense into jelly when left at room temperature, but it will solidify faster if placed in a low-temperature environment.

"Brother, how long will it take to eat?" Xing'er and Yu Ji were guarding the wooden barrel and staring eagerly.

"It will be eaten soon. It is much better than popsicles, and it is not toothless!" Chen Xu sat down to rest, and asked the chef to prepare more than ten pottery bowls. He also took out fruit vinegar and honey, mixed a large bowl of sour and sweet juice, waited for about ten minutes, opened the lid of the wooden barrel and saw that the ice powder in the clay pot had condensed into jelly.

"Wow, it's really frozen! I want to eat it, I want to eat it!" Xing'er couldn't wait to yell as Chen Xu scooped out half a bowl of jelly-like shaking and trembling ice powder with a bamboo spoon.

"So beautiful, crystal clear and like ice crystals. I really didn't expect it to be made with such inconspicuous seeds!" Shui Qingrou, who had always been calm, couldn't help but exclaim. Her beautiful eyes moved from the ice powder to Chen Xu, and her eyes were filled with infinite surprise and tenderness.

"Crazy~" Chen Xu poured a spoonful of fruit vinegar and honey water on the ice powder, and then handed it to Chen Jiangshi with both hands, "Mom, try it first, it's very delicious!"

Chen Jiang took the pottery bowl and scooped up a piece of crystal clear ice powder with a small bamboo spoon and tasted it. He immediately stretched his eyebrows and praised it: "The ice powder made by Xu'er is really delicious, sour, sweet and cool!"

"Brother, give me a bowl!" Xing'er wanted to put her face into the clay pot.

"Brother Xiaoxu, Yu Ji also wants to eat good-looking ice powder!" Yu Ji yelled as she pulled Chen Xu's arm hard.

Chen Xu quickly made a bowl for Xing'er and Yu Ji and let the maid bring it to the side for food. Then he gently adjusted a bowl of water and another bowl for Yu Wuya. Finally, he adjusted a bowl for himself and handed the spoon to a chef and said, "You have to eat it yourself. The quantity is not large. Each person can satisfy his cravings evenly, and then go and make more in a while!"

"Don't worry, let's try it first, and make a big bucket later!" Several kitchen workers nodded excitedly, then set up a long pottery bowl on the table, scooped a small spoon of transparent jelly from each bowl, poured the prepared fruit vinegar honey juice, and then brought it to the side and tasted it.

"Wow, it's really delicious, sour, sweet and cold."

"Yes, this must be the food eaten by the gods in the sky. They look like ice crystals and taste soft and smooth!"

"Our Marquis is a disciple of the gods, so naturally they eat food from the gods."

"We can follow the Marquis and enjoy the rest of our lives!"

A bowl of iced noodles has become the new favorite of the food of the Qinghe Hou Mansion.

Not to mention the cheaper materials, there are still many more. While Li Gui's family inspected the fief, they were hyping up the Marquis to purchase mature and dried pili seeds. Soon many villagers in the fief learned about this. While the summer grain was harvested and the autumn grain was not yet harvested, they collected lychees everywhere. They went home to dig out the seeds. The strong sun was stuffed in half a day and completely dried up. Therefore, in the past few days, a large number of villagers came to Qinghe Villa with big bags of ice powder.

Three cents per pound may not seem much, but it is still very attractive for villagers who earn some change to subsidize their family income by harvesting firewood and selling vegetables.

In fact, ice powder is very light. One pound of ice powder requires collecting hundreds of lychees to make up. They all grow on steep rock walls or hillsides. Although they are everywhere, collecting is not easy. Therefore, children with quick hands and feet and flexible bodies have become the main force in the collection. Several children gather together with bamboo baskets and carry bamboo knives or hook knives to go up the mountain. One picks them on it, the other picks them, and the other digs out the seeds inside into a cloth bag on the spot. The three people can get several kilograms of dry goods a day, which is more than ten yuan. Now it is the autumn season, and it is the season when lychees are mature. Therefore, if you pick them for one or two months, you can earn seven or eight hundred yuan in the family. With adults help, the harvest of lychees in this season is enough to earn several years of income.

Therefore, as the news of Qinghehou's large-scale acquisition of sageli spread, many villagers outside the fief also knew about this. In just three or five days, almost half of Jingyang County knew about this. Groups of villagers carrying baskets and bags were seen everywhere in the mountains and forests, most of whom were in their teens, and even children of seven or eight years old. However, this age is definitely half a labor force in the countryside of Daqin today.

After the Hou Mansion collected a large amount of jelly, not only did the Hou Mansion make several large buckets every day to consume it, but also arranged people to transport it to Qinghe Park. A special jelly production and sales team was specially formed in Qinghe Park to sell it at the Qinghe Hotel, Qinghe Theater and Qinghe Store.

"Ice powder, ice powder, the latest delicious food made by Qinghehou, sour, sweet and cool to relieve the heat..."

A pergola was built at the entrance of Qinghe shop. Under the pergola were several wooden barrels wrapped in animal skin and linen. There was still ice water made of nitrogen in the barrel, and a tiled basin was placed on the ice water. In the tiled basin was newly made ice powder. Several pretty little ladies wearing Qingheyuan uniforms were shouting softly to sell ice powder.

The street at the entrance of Qingheyuan is the most lively place in Xianyang, no doubt about it.

Because on one side is the Qinghe Garden, which is the most consumed in Xianyang, which is known as the heaven and earth, and directly opposite is the Liuxiang Garden, where the children of the playboys and wealthy businessmen are the most concentrated.

Therefore, as soon as the ice broth stall was set up, a large group of people suddenly surged up. Among them, there were many noble people with brocade robes and jade belts. However, the most were the second generation of playboys and rich businessmen who were bored and played in Liuxiangyuan. Then they were waiting to go to Qinghe Theater to watch opera literati.

A large group of people instantly spread the ice powder into a mess.

Nowadays, people in Xianyang know that as long as they are involved with Qinghe Hou, there will be no bad food.

Nowadays, the buns, steamed buns, pancakes, spring rolls, barbecue, and roasted crabs sold everywhere on the streets are all invented by Qinghe.

Some time ago, eating sauce-fried snails became popular in the miscellaneous houses of Quyuan. Although it was quite troublesome to make and eat, it caused a wave of heat among the gentry and ministers. No matter where entertainment venues are consumed and played, you must order a pot of snails when drinking, and pick them thinly with something called toothpicks while picking them. First suck the shell, and finally add some hands. It is said that this is the rule of eating snails, which was passed down by the Hou of Qinghe. Therefore, if you do not do well in the three steps of eating snails, you will be despised by diners at the same table.

"Hey, this ice powder looks crystal clear, like ice crystal jade, very tempting, but I don't know how it tastes?" A middle-aged man in a scribe uniform looked at the ice powder in the pottery bowl and was full of doubt.

"Is the food made by Qinghehou still tastes bad!" A young man in gorgeous clothes took out his money bag and shouted: "Little lady, how do you sell this ice powder?"

The little lady in a short skirt uniform replied with a smile: "Young master, add fruit vinegar and sugar juice ten cents a bowl!"

"Give me a bowl!" The young man readily took out a handful of copper coins and counted them on the wooden table.

"Young master wait!" The little lady put away the copper coins, and the other girl next to her opened the ice bucket and scooped out a bowl of crystal clear ice powder that emitted a cold air. Then she poured a spoonful of sugar juice made of fruit vinegar and fructose and handed it to the young master with both hands, "Young master, please taste it, the weather is hot, please eat it!"

"Wow, the ice powder is really ice-free. It feels like it's just taken out of the ice cellar!" The young man couldn't help but exclaim when he took the pottery bowl, and then couldn't wait to pick up a small bamboo spoon and scoop a spoon into his mouth. His body suddenly shook his eyes and widened. The bamboo spoon whispered repeatedly while shouting: "Um... delicious, delicious, sweet and sour, tender and smooth, there is no more delicious food in the world that can relieve heat. It can be called a fairy food..."

When the young man generously donated money, although the surroundings were filled with water, no matter whether the rich or poor, they were all waiting for the first diner to evaluate.

Now, I was almost relieved when I saw a bowl of crystal clear ice powder that was still radiant in the cold air of the Jinyi Young Master's praise, so many people with luxurious clothes began to pay their money.

"Miss, have a bowl with me!"

"My little lady, let me have a bowl too!"

As Ding Dangdang continued to put a lot of copper coins on the stall table, several young ladies selling ice powder became busy instantly.
Chapter completed!
