Abduct a general to farm

The finished ice cubes are still air-conditioned, no different from ice cubes stored in winter.

Shu Jiutian couldn't wait to break a few small ice cubes with a clean small awl first, put them in a bowl, and they crunched in his mouth, even though he had no taste, he ate them happily.

He asked Laifu to fill some ice cubes for everyone present to eat, but Ajiu felt tasteless in his mouth.

Although it was cold, but he didn't like the taste of white water, he put down the bowl uninterestedly, turned his head and saw Mo Ran eating it, and somehow felt that the one in his wife's bowl was more delicious.

"Mo Ran, you're really amazing!" Shu Jiutian has successfully upgraded to Mo Ran's little fan, and wants to show his hospitality to him.

With this method taught by Mo Ran, there will be no fear of running out of ice cubes in summer.

Mo Ran said with a smile: "Today I mainly try it first. In fact, it is best to make ice cubes in an ice kiln. Put the water basin, put saltpeter and let it freeze by itself. People go outside and wait until it is almost time to go in." Pack it with ice cubes. It won’t melt easily and it’s stored right away, so it’s ready to grab and go.”

While eating ice cubes, Shu Jiutian said, "Okay, the people I brought here have signed death contracts, and the deeds of selling their lives are also with me. Don't worry about them leaking out. We will leave the ice cubes to us in the future." Yes, if there are not enough people, I can still look for it.

There is an ice kiln just under the restaurant, which is enough for us.It's just that the saltpeter is not enough to make ice cream, I will send someone to find more saltpetre. "

Anyway, Mo Ran didn't understand those methods, so I left it to Shu Jiutian to do it all.

He said: "The ice cubes have already been made, and these ice cubes are not too many. Let's use them all to make ice cream. Is there any ice in the ice kiln in the restaurant?"

Shu Jiutian nodded: "It's half filled with ice, and it will be needed in the restaurant to keep cool. I also have people pick up ice cubes from here to take home to drive away the heat."

Mo Ran clapped his hands: "That's good, the refrigeration conditions are ready, and then I need some sugar water, juice can also be a little, and then there are molds for making ice cream, and a small bowl for ice cream."

There was no stick here, so he simply threw it away.

So Mo Ran and Shu Jiutian described what the mold looks like. The most common one is the long strip, which requires the most preparation, and then you can make some different shapes, such as rabbit head shape, cat claw shape, spherical shape, as long as it is Cute ones are fine, those ladies and wives like the good-looking ones the most.

There is no special requirement for the size of the small bowl, as long as it can hold ice cream. Of course, the appearance still needs to be distinguished.

The more delicate and cute the ice cream, the better the taste, and the bowl should be equipped with the most exquisite and beautiful ones, so that it will not look cheap when sold to wealthy people.

Those children of the gentry most disdain to eat and wear the same things as ordinary people, and they will feel that they have dropped in price.

Mo Ran, a modern person, takes these mentalities very seriously.

Sugar water is granulated sugar dissolved in water. It has the most common taste, and the price is definitely not too expensive. Even farmers with little money can buy roots to eat.

As for the fruit flavor, there are still many fruits for sale in Yuanxia and Chaoxia. You can buy grapes, bayberries, peaches, mangoes, and lychees. Flavors can be chosen.

After Shu Jiutian finished listening, he was about to do Laifu, when Mo Ran suddenly remembered: "Don't forget the milk."

Shu Jiutian seemed a little embarrassed: "I can't find much milk now, can I replace it with goat's milk?"

In ancient times, there were no dairy cows, and milk was squeezed out by ordinary cows. The usual output was not much, and the number of cows raised was not as large as that of sheep. It was relatively simple to obtain goat milk.

Shu Jiutian felt that cow's milk and goat's milk were almost the same, and it tasted fishy, ​​so he didn't like to drink it.

Mo Ran is not reluctant, as long as there is milk: "Goat's milk is also fine."

Goat's milk doesn't taste as good as cow's milk, but it's not bad.

Laifu went to find the servants who were loyal to the young master, and explained them one by one. After the people dispersed, he went to the most skillful carpenter's house in person, and told Mo Ran's request, and asked them to make the mold as quickly as possible. come out.

At noon, due to the increasing popularity of chili sauce, Jiutian restaurant is overcrowded every meal time, not to mention the first and second floors are full, and there are still latecomers waiting in line outside the door.

This made the other restaurant owners who were robbed of the limelight by Jiutian Restaurant very jealous and unwilling. Most of the diners in their own restaurant were robbed, and the revenue plummeted for several days. Judging from the popularity of the chili sauce, it may have to last for several days. This means that they lose a lot of money every day.

Among them is the owner of Wuwei restaurant. Every day, his servants go to Jiutian restaurant to eat, and they order a lot of chili sauce, but everyone comes back and says they can't eat what it is made of.

I don't know how to make chili sauce, and seeing that there are very few diners in his restaurant who come here to eat because they can't squeeze into Jiutian Restaurant, this makes him very irritable. Don't wait for someone to sneak into the kitchen of Jiutian Restaurant at night to see what chili sauce is.

Suddenly, the people in Jiutian Restaurant seemed to be in a commotion, as if they were scrambling for something. The owner of Wuwei Restaurant stretched his neck at the door, but he couldn't see what happened.

After a while, one of the servants he sent ran back, his face was full of joy, and he was out of breath when he ran to the door: "Dong, Dong's, Jiutian Restaurant is selling chili sauce, and they have made many bottles of it." The chili sauce is sold out.”

The owner said anxiously: "They are willing to sell chili sauce, so does anyone buy it there?"

The servant said: "Yes, I asked Ah Gui to line up to buy, and I will come back first to tell the owner the news."

The owner laughed loudly and said, "I'm afraid that Jiutian Restaurant is too arrogant, and I'm not afraid that the chili sauce will no longer be the only one. As long as we buy the chili sauce and study it, we will know that we will use those to make it. When the time comes Let's see if our family doesn't snatch all their guests over."

The owners of other restaurants are also conspiring with each other.

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't care what the other restaurants thought, he was busy standing next to the shelf with chili sauce in small porcelain bottles, and yelled loudly in order to maintain order:

"Don't rush, jump in line, don't buy more. Our family doesn't make much chili sauce today. One person can only buy one bottle. A bottle costs 35 cents. No bargaining."

Someone in the crowd complained: "What? You can only buy one bottle?"

"A bottle is so small, how many days can it last?"

"That's right, 35 Wen a bottle, why don't you just grab the money?"

Faced with their complaints, shopkeeper Zhang said calmly: "The price of this restaurant has always been fair and low. Buy what you want, leave if you don't want, don't force the purchase, start from the front, and pay at my place."

He stood at the counter, and another boy was replaced next to the shelf, responsible for handing out the chili sauce to those who asked for it, and there were a few tall and burly guards watching them, beware of them making trouble or taking the chili pepper Jiang secretly hid and did not pay.

The sale of chili sauce here is in full swing, and in the closed backyard, the ingredients for ice cream are also ready.

They moved the production site to the outer part of the underground kiln, and cleaned the newly made molds one by one and put them aside.

Mo Ran asked people to squeeze all the fruit they bought into juice. The pulp and juice were mixed, and an appropriate amount of water was poured in to dilute it. The goat milk was boiled, mixed with sugar, and then left to dry.

The prepared ice cubes are smashed with a small awl, and then poured into different molds, and then poured with sugar water and fruit juice. After filling a row of molds, they are sealed with something and put in neatly stacked ice cubes. Refrigerate between blocks to form.

The advantage of using ice cubes directly is that the ice cream can be formed quickly. The ice cubes they crushed are not big, and the taste will be very uniform, which is much faster than using water directly.

Li Xiu and Jiang Ping were brought here to work, so naturally they all participated in one link, and they could choose whichever job they like to do.Shu Jiutian is the owner, so logically he just needs to watch, but he feels itchy when he sees others doing it, so he can't help but follow suit.

Mo Ran and Ajiu were seen standing leisurely among a group of busy people.

Mo Ran squinted at Ajiu: "You don't do it? Don't ask me to pay you if you don't work."

Ajiu blinked, looked at those people seriously, and asked him, "Would you like to eat, lady?"

"I think so." Mo Ran lazily replied.

Ajiu said, "Then I'll do it."

He walked over and touched the rim of the bowl filled with goat's milk. When there was no temperature, he picked it up and picked out a few overly cute rabbit head and cat claw molds. He then asked someone to help break the ice into the molds and pour the goat's milk on it. , and make one for each flavor of juice.

The goat milk and juice were so full that they were about to overflow the mould. He nodded in satisfaction, compacted the crushed ice cubes, sealed them carefully, and put them between the ice cubes to freeze.

After it was done, he ran back to Mo Ran with a thump, raised his smiling face, and his eyes shone brightly: "My lady, I'm done, and I can eat it soon."

Mo Ran had been staring at Ajiu before, even though he was usually silly when talking, but a man who is serious always has a kind of charm, his face is expressionless, his eyes are focused, that kind of aura, Mo Ran only in the beginning I saw it when I met a man.

Unknowingly, he let go of all his thoughts and watched the whole process of the man making ice cream.

Seeing the man wholeheartedly helping him make goat's milk ice cream, for some reason, Mo Ran felt warm in his heart.

This kind of thing has never been done for him.

It wasn't until Ajiu turned around and ran over that he came back to his senses. He looked away uncomfortably, pretending that he was looking at other people, and then Ajiu's proud voice sounded in his ear.

"Yes." His voice was a little dry: "It's great."

All he got was a dry compliment from the lady, who didn't even pay attention to him, just kept looking at the busy worker.

Ajiu was upset, and turned Mo Ran's face angrily, looked into his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly, "Lady, is this the only one?"

Ajiu's eyes are dark and penetrating. When looking at him intently, Mo Ran always has a feeling of being locked in, and looks away unnaturally: "Otherwise?"

Ajiu pouted slightly, expecting something.

Mo Ran stared at it for a while before he realized what it meant. He nodded his head in embarrassment and took a step back: "You think beautiful."

He was slapped when he couldn't get the reward, Ajiu rubbed his head aggrievedly, feeling that his wife was really cruel to him.
