Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I've anticipated this, so I've prepared something else for you."

Saying that, she nodded to Liu Da Niu standing by the screen door.

Liu Daniu turned around with a smile and walked out of the screen door. Not long after, she saw her bring a tray over. There were two thick porcelain plates on the tray, but on the thick porcelain plate were two not-so-luxury but more exquisite ones. small bowl.

The bowl contains watermelon, apples, pears, sour plums and other fruits cut into appropriate sizes, which are mixed together. There are also smoothies and milk in the bowl.

Although there is still some distance from the ice cream of later generations, it is not far away...

The scents of all kinds of fruits were mixed together, and the sweet and sour icy breath came oncoming, which made Baoyu and Qiguan look clear and their eyes lit up.

Xue Pan looked greedy, and said, "Why are there only two of them, and my old Xue's?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "No hurry, they look like girls, so I'll give them these. Let's eat some men's food, it's fun."

Before Xue Pan could say anything else, Feng Ziying asked curiously, "Brother Qiang, can you still get ice from the ice storage in the Duke's Mansion?"

The big families in the north usually start to take ice from the glacier in the winter months, and then put it in the ice cellar.

Larger ones store tens of thousands of pieces of ice at a time.

The small ones cost thousands of dollars.

Because of the extreme heat in summer, it is often difficult to use most of the stored ice, and only [-]% is usable.

So even in big families, ice is not openly supplied.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "No, I used an ancient recipe to get it."

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up obviously, and she said with a smile: "I have also read from ancient books such as "Song Dynasty Huiyao" that people in Song Dynasty were good at making ice with saltpeter. It's just that after the Southern Song Dynasty, the barbarians invaded south, and during hundreds of years of fighting, most of the essence of the predecessors was lost. The secret recipe for making ice with saltpeter is also lost. Although some people have tried their best to make ice with raw saltpeter, it is either difficult to make ice, or even a little bit of ice has a smell of saltpeter and is poisonous. Unexpectedly, Brother Qiang I can get the ancient prescription. With this recipe alone, Brother Qiang will be able to make a lot of money in the future."

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled and said, "It's not that easy. Even in the Tang and Song dynasties, the palace and Shixun's house were still digging ice cellars. It's fine to make some ice cubes for a small amount of trouble. If you want to do it on a large scale Making ice with saltpeter costs more than digging an ice cellar, so it’s not worthwhile.” Although he has a way to purify the ice, it’s better not to announce this secret recipe prematurely.

Hearing what Jia Qiang said, Feng Ziying just nodded and smiled, and stopped talking about it, he said seriously: "Brother Qiang, I really have a good relationship with the third son of the Dong family. If my uncle's family wants to go back to the dock, I can be in the middle." Say it, don't interfere."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Brother Feng can say that, I already appreciate it. It's just that the person who passed on the message to the Dong family was the one from the Dong Mansion, why did Brother Feng get involved in this matter? The relationship between the Ning Mansion and your mansion Not bad. The most important thing is that right now, my uncle’s family really doesn’t need to go back to the pier to do coolies.”

Feng Ziying heard the words and sighed: "Brother Qiang is really different from before... that's fine, but if you change your mind at any time, you can find me at any time. A small matter can't delay the relationship between Ningfu and my Feng family. .”

At this moment, Xue Pan suddenly sniffed his nose a few times, and asked in surprise, "What kind of smell is it so fragrant?"

Not long after, I saw Miss Liu come in with a big tray on which there were a bunch of meat skewers pierced with iron skewers.

This meat skewer is completely different from the barbecue that you have seen in the past, exuding a strong spicy smell.

In this dignified and wealthy family and most of the scholarly families pay attention to the peaceful world in food, such a spicy and pungent smell is really rare.

After all, spiciness is actually a kind of pain.

But as Jia Qiang said before, this is a taste that men who like stimulation will like!

When the tray was placed on the wooden table, after Feng Ziying thanked Miss Liu, she saw Jia Qiang pick up three skewers of barbecue meat, and each of the three got one skewer.

The entrance is full of rich and exotic spicy, and even the undisguised mutton smell has become an indispensable part of the seductive smell.

Chew it, the fresh and tender mutton gravy is stimulated with cumin and pepper...

"It's so refreshing!!"

Xue Pan sucked hotly, but shouted happily.

On weekdays, he tosses and tosses in every possible way just for excitement, so exciting now, isn't it satisfying?

Feng Ziying is also a heroic young man. Eating this roast meat is more than ten times more delicious than eating white boiled meat dipped in salt. Is there anyone who doesn't love it?

Jia Baoyu and Qiguan quietly moved their chairs back, darling, this thing...

Qiguan is a famous opera singer who sings Danjiao, she has all the skills in her voice, and she dare not eat too much salt on weekdays, how dare she eat these?

Baoyu felt that she had a girl-like character, how could she eat and chew such tiger and wolf food?

Jia Qiang asked Liu Da Niu to tell Uncle Liu Laoshi that she had grilled a few skewers of barbecued meat with no chili and less cumin, and asked Baoyu and Qiguan to taste it.

Feng Ziying and Xue Pan ate a dozen skewers of barbecue, and Aunt Chun brought a plate of ice-cold watermelon, which immediately became more popular.

After a long chew and several plates of iced watermelon, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying stopped, feeling a bit full, ready to take a break and fight again!

After stopping, Aunt Chun brought up a tub of hot water for people to wash their hands.

Baoyu and Qiguan eat well, and they clean their hands with the handkerchief they brought.

After the rest of the people washed their hands, Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Actually, this roast meat would be better served with cold flower carvings, but my brother is too short-sighted to buy flower carvings, so I had to use iced watermelon instead."

Everyone laughed, praised him for his openness in their hearts, and said on the face that it was more appropriate to eat like this.

Jia Qiang gently wiped her palms with a handkerchief, and asked with a smile: "Uncle's family lost their livelihood because of me, so I wanted to make a living out of it. A worthy man, can this job make a living?"

Hearing the words, Xue Pan immediately took his seat, very proud, laughed and said: "Brother Qiang, you really have good eyesight and know people. You know that I have set up a door since I was ten years old. You are asking the right person! Let me tell you, This Roasted Roast Meat will definitely make you rich!"

Feng Ziying poured cold water on her and said: "Although the taste is exciting enough, it is difficult to be elegant. Just look at Baoyu and Qiguan. Ordinary wealthy people would never eat these, because it is not suitable for the way of self-cultivation. But..." Feng Ziying paused, and said with a smile: "In some places, your business can definitely be popular."

Jia Qiang asked for advice, "Where is it?"

He naturally knows where there are places, but he has no footsteps in those places. The water in the capital is too deep. If there is no foothold to make money, especially if you want to make big money, you don’t know how to die...

Feng Ziying thought for a while and said: "The best place is the gambling stall first. Most of the people who enter the gambling stall will not come down if they don't lose. There are demons dancing in that place. If you are tired from gambling, you can serve it with a few spicy sticks. Wouldn’t the refreshing kebabs be more enjoyable? Secondly, there are places like docks and inns. These places gather all kinds of religions and nine streams, and all of them have strong tastes. Finally, they are sold to people who practice martial arts like me, the children of Wu Xun But if you want to sell it to me and other Wu Xun disciples, you must at least prepare a shop in a decent place. It just so happens that I am on Bell and Drum Street..."

"Huh? What kind of door shop? I have a lot of door shops at home. If you want to use it, just use it!"

Feng Ziying was robbed by Xue Pan before she could finish her sentence. What left him speechless the most was that this guy was born to give money away, and he spoke the truth.

Jia Qiang glanced at Feng Ziying, and then said with a smile to Xue Pan, "How about that, I rented the vacant shop of the two elder brothers..."

Xue Pan said disapprovingly, "Just take it and use it as an envoy, what kind of money is it?"

Everyone knows that Xue Pan is not lying. An ordinary door shop only rents a hundred taels of silver a year, but Xue Pan spends more than three or five door shops renting out for a year on those bastards in the Jia Family School. rental.

Jia Qiang thanked this sentence in a timely manner, and he said sternly: "If it's just for the sake of survival, it's fine to borrow a shop from Brother Xue so that you don't have to rent money. But now it's for economical livelihood. Said, just to make money, how can there be any reason to take advantage of it? Hurting others to benefit yourself is not the way to get along with each other."

Hearing this, Xue Pan was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Old Xue really didn't recognize you in vain, I will pay the rent as you said! But you haven't opened yet, wait a month or so, and you will have enough money Then pay the rent.”

This time, Jia Qiang was not too polite, she used a teacup as a wine cup, and said respectfully, "Brother Xue." Then she said to Feng Ziying: "Brother Xue is enough to have a shop. First, there are fewer people, and second, come here." Also be more cautious, try the water first. If it really becomes big, it will not be too late to find brother Feng to borrow the door."

Feng Ziying smiled boldly: "It's easy to say! That door shop is reserved for Brother Qiang, waiting for you to pick it up at any time."

Feng Ziying is a heroic person, but he has a good character of being willing to help others, and Jia Qiang is not the only one who can help, the cost must be very high, and Jia Qiang does not want to take advantage of him.

For now, the name of the Xue family is enough, because right now the Xue family is connected to the Rongguo Mansion...
