Chapter 176 Saltpeter turns into ice

After Su Qing got dressed and washed, Qingzhu brought a simple breakfast. Su Qing only drank a bowl of porridge and couldn't eat anymore. Phantom came in from outside and sat next to Su Qing.

"Qingqing, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"

Su Qing remembered that he had entered her dream last night and felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to look at him and just nodded.

"much better."

"The emperor was very angry when he learned that Princess Rui had killed the emperor's heirs. He ordered King Rui to divorce Princess Rui with a divorce note. Not only that, he also ordered Princess Rui to spend ten years in prison. The queen and Xiao Yong went to the emperor to plead, and the result was that , the emperor angrily reprimanded the two of them, punished the queen with a three-month grounding, and reduced the title of the Duke of Guo on the charge that Xiao Yong taught his daughter improperly. Now the plaque of the Duke of Guo has been replaced by the Xiao Palace." Phantom inquired about herself Tell Su Qing what happened.

Su Qing sighed

"It's their own fault!" After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Jiang's yard.

When Mrs. Jiang saw Su Qing coming, she stepped forward and took her hand.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

"You kid, don't wear more clothes. What's wrong with you if you catch a cold!"

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Do you want your daughter to cover up the heat rash?" Su Qing smiled mischievously.

"You!" Mrs. Jiang gently tapped Su Qing's forehead, "The weather has indeed gotten hotter, and I feel sweaty even under the thick quilt at night. Nanny Lin, go and tell the various hospitals and ask them to take care of you today." Take out the thin quilt to dry it in the sun, and cover it with a thin quilt tonight."

"Yes! Madam, I will do it now."

Jiang took Su Qing to the small garden. In the early summer season, the place was already full of flowers and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The two came to the pavilion and sat down. Jiang asked with concern.

"I heard from Qingzhu that you didn't eat much this morning. Is it because the weather is hot and you have lost your appetite? If you want to eat something, I will ask the kitchen to cook it for you."

Su Qing thought for a while and said

"I want to eat something cold." In fact, she was thinking of the ice cream and ice cream in her previous life. But when Jiang heard it, the image of iced fruit appeared in his mind. Said awkwardly

"Qingqing, our family just moved in last fall. There is indeed an ice cellar in the house, but no one lives in it all year round, so there is no ice in it. In winter, because there are many things at home, my mother forgot to let the servants store some. It’s iced. In previous years, there were ice sellers in the market. I don’t know if I can buy it now that summer has just begun. But the ice in the market is very expensive. One pound costs thirty or forty cents, which is more expensive than rice! Huh? Yes. Otherwise, let’s borrow some from Ding Mansion.”

Su Qing smiled and shook her head after hearing this.

"Mom, no need. By the way, mom, is there anyone selling saltpeter here?"

"Saltpeter? It's for sale, and it's very cheap, one or two cents per pound. But, Qingqing, why do you ask this?"

"Mom, don't ask anymore. Please ask someone to buy me a few kilograms of saltpeter first."

"Okay then, Linglong, ask the boy to buy some saltpeter and come back. Buy five kilograms first." Jiang ordered.

"Yes! Madam!" Linglong responded and stepped back.

Su Qing and Jiang Shi walked around in the garden for a while, and Linglong came over holding a big bag.

"Madam, Miss, I bought the saltpeter!"

"Qingqing, I bought this saltpeter, where should I put it?" Jiang looked at Su Qing.

"Mom, let's put it in your and dad's bedroom first!"

"What? Your father and I's bedroom?" Jiang felt that she had heard wrong.

Su Qing smiled and ordered Linglong to send the bag to Jiang's bedroom. She took Jiang's hand and went too. The phantom behind him also looked at Su Qing with a puzzled expression, wondering what she was going to do. Although it was inconvenient for him to enter the bedrooms of Jiang and Su Qixuan, in order to satisfy his curiosity, and since it was daytime, Su Qixuan went to the Yamen again. Yes, he followed.

Arriving at Jiang's bedroom, Su Qing told Qingzhu

"Go get a big basin and a small basin and fill them both with water."

Although Qingzhu was also confused, he still followed Su Qing's instructions to get the water. After Shui Duan came in, Su Qing had the doors of the room closed, leaving only Jiang, Su Qing, Qingzhu and Phantom in the room. I saw Su Qing opening the bag of saltpeter, pouring some saltpeter into the big basin, and then putting Xiao Ren into the big basin. Everyone looked at the two basins in confusion. After a while, the saltpeter in the small basin was The water actually turned into ice. The three of them looked at Su Qing in surprise. Jiang couldn't help but ask

"Oh my God, Qing Qing, did you read that right? You turned water into ice!" Seeing that Su Qing just smiled and nodded, Jiang was so happy that she clapped her hands.

"Oh my God, just a little saltpeter can actually turn water into ice! This is amazing! Qingqing, how do you know this method?"

Phantom and Qingzhu also looked at Su Qing curiously, wanting to hear what she had to say. Su Qing looked at everyone looking at her and started talking nonsense again seriously.

"My daughter read it from an ancient book, but the book can't be found!" After saying that, he smiled slyly at Jiang.

Jiang couldn't tell whether what Su Qing said was true or false, but with this method, she no longer had to worry about the unbearable heat this summer. Originally, Jiang was worried about how she would live without ice this summer. She also thought about buying ice from the market, but the price of ice was too expensive. Although the Yisu family's current financial resources can afford to buy ice for a summer, but for saving Jiang, who was used to it, was still a little reluctant to part with it. Nowadays, a few cents of saltpeter can produce so much ice, and Jiang's love for business is ready to start. She looked at Su Qing with bright eyes

"Qingqing, I think we can make a lot of money this summer just by selling ice cream!"

Su Qing nodded, "Mom, not only does she sell ice, her daughter also wants to open a teahouse. Think about it, the teahouses and restaurants on the market today will not be willing to put so much ice in the shop in the summer. In the hot summer, the guests are inside It is inevitable to feel hot when eating and drinking tea, but if we put enough ice cubes in the lobby and every private room of the teahouse we open, and the guests will feel cool as soon as they enter, then it will attract a lot of guests!"

"That's natural! Nowadays, those who have ice cellars at home are all dignitaries and relatives. They store ice in the winter and use it in the summer. It would be great if it can be used by their own family. There is no ice in the shop. If you go to buy it, It’s not enough to lose money, but those ladies and ladies like to go shopping. It’s too hot in summer. You can’t even visit a few shops without breaking out in sweat. If you go to our teahouse to drink tea and eat snacks, three or five friends can be together in this cool environment. Let’s chat together, it makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it!”

Jiang said and smiled, as if he saw a lot of money piled up in the room! However, she still very rationally told Phantom and Qingzhu not to spread the word about this matter! Phantom and Qingzhu both nodded in agreement, this is a guard of honor for the Su family to make a fortune! Ever since the secret recipe of soap was leaked by Jiang Mei and Jiang Feng, the Su family's business has plummeted. Now that their lady has come up with such a good way to make money, Phantom and Qingzhu are also very happy and promise to keep it secret!
