Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 134 There is a difference between giving actively and giving passively

"Snake catchers often have to deal with all kinds of snakes, poisonous, non-venomous, ferocious, and docile."

"But the most dangerous among them are undoubtedly those venomous snakes that have disguises but are extremely poisonous."

"Whenever a venomous snake of this type is found, the snake catcher always raises his left hand to attract the snake's attention, and then grabs it by the skin of its teeth when it is least prepared."

Su Chen smiled and raised his hand to gesture.

Li Chengqian looked at him with confusion, totally not understanding what the snake catcher he was talking about had to do with Du Chuke.

"Could it be that Liu Tao is the poisonous snake you mentioned?"

"I don't know."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes speechlessly, "So why are you saying so much?"

Su Chen smiled, informed the coachman Sun Qiang, and the carriage turned and drove towards the workshop.

"Where?"

"You want ice cubes, right? Let's go over and see how Wang Xuance and the others are doing."

"good."

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly.

The carriage stopped outside the workshop, and Su Chen and Li Chengqian got off one after another.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness, sir."

"Is Wang Xuance in the workshop?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please come in, sir."

Walking into the workshop, Li Chengqian suddenly felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

In the huge city of Chang'an, I'm afraid this is the only place that has such a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

After taking a quick glance at the busy people, Li Chengqian's eyes fell on the crystal clear ice cubes.

Just by taking a look at it, you can feel a hint of coldness.

“Such pure ice!”

Li Chengqian strode forward, touched the ice, and couldn't help but put it on his forehead, "Cool."

Su Chen laughed dumbly, "This is just the beginning."

Li Chengqian nodded and said softly: "Although my father and I don't get along, on the surface, we still have to maintain what we should maintain."

"Not yet."

Su Chen shook his head. "You know, the purity of these ice cubes is not very high. If you only look at the appearance, it is easy to be confused."

"Besides, once these ice cubes are delivered to the palace, who can guarantee what the people in the imperial kitchen will do with them?"

"If any problems arise, it will be you and me who will suffer in the end."

"Filial piety needs to be shown, but it also depends on the situation."

Now, he wasn't the only one staring at the ice.

Li Tai’s people might also be paying attention to these ice cubes!
The ice can be sent to the palace, but he cannot do it. If anything goes wrong, it will be their responsibility.

not to mention.

Li Tai, Du Chuke and others all knew about the ice cube incident, how could Li Shimin not know? ?
Instead of letting them see him off, it would be better to let Li Shimin speak up!
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, and to the young master."

Wang Xuance, wearing a robe, strode over and untied the robe.

Li Chengqian was immediately amused, "Everyone hates not wearing clothes, but you are wearing a robe, which is really interesting."

"Isn't this because there are too many ice cubes stored in the ice cellar, and it is too cold?"

Wang Xuance smiled and said, "Sir, Your Highness, why are you here at the workshop this time?"

"He needs some ice, please arrange it..."

"No rush, no rush."

Li Chengqian interrupted Su Chen with a smile, "Let's go to the ice cellar first to see how much ice you have made."

"it is good."

Wang Xuance nodded, "Your Highness, please follow me, young master."

Under the guidance of Wang Xuance, the group arrived outside the ice cellar.

A trace of cold air continued to seep out from the crack in the door of the ice cellar, so much so that Li Chengqian couldn't help but sneeze.

"Now I understand why you are wearing a robe."

Wang Xuance smiled and handed the prepared robes to Su Chen and Li Chengqian.

Su Chen took the robe, frowned and said nothing.

The door of the ice cellar was opened, and thick cold air like mist slowly drifted out from the ice cellar. Faced with such a cold air, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

"Wang Xuance, how many ice cubes did you make?"

Sun Qiang was stunned.

Su Chen personally instructed how to make ice cubes. He had been following along, so how could he not know?
However, only a few days had passed and the ice cellar was already filled with cold air?
Wang Xuance: "Making ice cubes is not a difficult task. After Master taught us, we started making it."

"Plus, Duke Du has a lot of saltpeter, so making ice cubes is a physically demanding task, right?"

Su Chen nodded, "Let's go in and take a look."

The entire ice cellar was terribly cold.

The thick cold air was like a fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

Su Chen frowned a little more.

The fact that I could feel the cold outside the ice cellar just now was enough to prove that the storage density of this ice cellar was lacking.

now.

This is enough to prove that this ice cellar is not a good one.

Wang Xuance pointed at the ice cubes behind him and said with a smile: "Prince, Master, do you think these ice cubes are satisfactory?"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up. With so many ice cubes, the East Palace wouldn't be so hot in summer.

"Not bad, not bad. Send some to the East Palace."

"it is good."

Wang Xuance smiled slightly and turned to look at Su Chen, "Young Master?"

"There's something wrong with this ice cellar!"

As he spoke, Su Chen stepped forward and stomped his feet, causing some water to splash.

Only then did everyone realize that there was some water left on the ground from the melted ice, but because it was near the corner, no one noticed it.

"see it?"

"Ice cubes stored here will easily melt into water, breed bacteria and become useless."

Wang Xuance scratched his head, and Sun Qiang chuckled, "You are so careless, but you are still so happy, waiting for the young master to praise you?"

Wang Xuance rolled his eyes. "Although these ice cubes show signs of melting, we are able to make so many ice cubes in such a short time, which is enough to prove that we have mastered the ice-making technology!"

"We just need to change an ice cellar to store these ice cubes in large quantities."

Su Chen nodded: "Send someone to find a suitable ice cellar."

Wang Xuance: "Understood."

"But sir, although these ice cubes have melted a little, they are still precious things that are difficult to obtain for many people."

"Why not take out these melted ice cubes and give them to customers for free to attract customers?"

Sun Qiang: "This is all money!"

Snapped!
Su Chen took back the folding fan, "Superficial."

Sun Qiang rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.

Su Chen nodded and said, "You are right. Since you have such an idea, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian looked at Su Chen and the other two, then looked at the ice cubes in front of him.

"Are you really going to give it away?"

"nature."

The ice has melted and water has accumulated on the ground. Such ice is no longer clean.

If such ice cubes were sold, not only would they look ugly, but they would also easily breed bacteria. If someone accidentally ate them, that would not be a good thing.

"Then you give me some!"

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice, "I want to send someone off too!"

Su Chen looked and thought that the people Li Chengqian was going to send off were the ministers in the court.

When the ice cube business expands, who will have the greatest demand?

no doubt.

These are the dignitaries!
Su Chen: "Of course there is no problem. It would be best if all the princes and dukes were given a copy."

Li Chengqian smiled knowingly, "That's natural."
