Chapter 255 Cooling off the heat and thirst, ice cream
Xin Ruo secretly rolled her eyes, she suspected that she was a monster before, and she came to ask for it after letting you see it with your own eyes, who will give it to you.

The summer is so hot that many houses may not have enough ice hidden in them. This method of turning water into ice can earn a lot of money.

Xin Ruo shook her head, "These were all sent by Ban Yue Fang yesterday. Xin Ruo doesn't know what they are, maybe some of them are sold in Ban Yue Fang, and I don't know if they are sold, Third Aunt can send someone to ask."

The third wife immediately pursed her lips and said nothing, Ban Yue Fang is a place where ordinary people go, it is a gold selling cave, after buying incense a few times, she often sent money there.

As long as it is connected with Banyuefang, the silver can't be regarded as silver, and it will be poured into it like water.

The third wife did some calculations in her heart, at least she would have to buy more than a dozen taels of silver a day for ice. After this summer, she still didn't know how much money she would spend.

But if I don’t use it, I’m sure I’ll suffer from heatstroke, and I’ve complained in front of the third master since I haven’t given them ice these few days.

As soon as they finished complaining, the third master talked about her, who knows whose house the third master will go to when he comes back, I'm afraid no one will be missing.

After this calculation, it would cost 34 taels a day at least. Thinking about it, the third wife felt heartbroken, she had no money!
Everyone blames this day, but it is hot at this moment, and the weather will turn cold by the time I can get money from the public.

In previous years, no matter how much you dropped, you could spend as little as 500 taels of silver on this ice, but this year it is considered a mistake.

The wives of the other mansions probably have a lot of headaches. If the public does not give money, they have to get it from the master's monthly payment.

In previous years, there were still many Bing Jing, but this year there was a problem with the iron box, and there were fewer Bing Jing with the people below. If there was no iron box, the Funing Palace would be nothing.

However, I heard from the third master that it is as simple as having an iron box in the Funing Palace, and it is true that no one can open the iron box after it has been in the Palace for many years.

The influence of the Funing Palace in the imperial court was halved at all, even if the iron box was lost this time, the emperor just reprimanded the prince and ordered it to be retrieved.

The prince simply put the iron box in the emperor's hand, not afraid that people would really use this to say that the matter should not be given to the palace.

Thinking about it this way, there must be something unusual in the prince's hand. As for what the prince is holding in his hand, no one knows, but there must be something, otherwise, where did the money come from.

It's a pity that the third master doesn't know, I'm afraid even the old lady doesn't know, otherwise the old lady will not let the three masters join in.

The prince eats meat, and the third master can drink some soup. Although the few shops he gave have a lot of income, they are all useful.

The son gets married, the daughter gets married, what kind of money can't be spent, the whole family in the West Mansion counts on those few shops for their livelihood.

The princess looked at the third wife and frowned. The third master was a bit of a fool, and his thoughts were all in the wrong place, spending money and being extravagant, and the third wife was forced to do nothing.

It's just that her mouth is too tight, she shouldn't be holding on to Xin Ruo, not to mention that Xin Ruo has never provoked her, Xin Ruo is her chosen daughter-in-law.

The fault of picking Xinruo is not to make things difficult for her, otherwise she would not treat her like this.

The concubine sighed slightly, and looked at Xin Ruo, the meaning in her eyes was obvious.

After all, the third aunt is an elder, so please help if you can. Xin Ruowei pouted, glanced at her head and told Zi Lan, "Tell the little maid to send more ice to Xifu later."

Anyway, she has a lot of ice cubes, so she will give it away as soon as she gives it away, but after thinking about this precedent, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I look back at her every day.

She didn't dare to provoke these people, so she added, "Leave a little of that thing for Jiang Zixuan, and take the rest to the ice cellar of the palace to help make ice."

Then everyone has it, so don't come to her idea again.

Zilan nodded in response, and went out with a few people. After hearing what Xin Ruo said, the third wife wanted to drag her aside.

Just give her a little bit, and keep it in the ice cellar of the Wang Mansion, how much can you share with the West Mansion.

But Xin Ruo is magnanimous enough, leaving only Jiang Zixuan for use, and giving up the rest, she is heartless if she wants to talk.

Immediately praised Xin Ruo and said, "It's still Xin Ruo's ability to connect with Banyuefang, and there is nothing missing, which made our aunts all follow suit."

Xin Ruo is humble for a while, it doesn't matter if she praises or not, as long as she has nothing to do and hurts her, or she can just let her catch the existing troubles and clean up all at once.

If it's just a bad word, there's really nothing you can do about them, you have to let them talk, Xin Ruo thought slanderously.

The four servant girls were busy working in the ice cellar of the palace, and within an hour the ice cellar was filled up. The eyes of the surprised women were so wide open that they could stuff a salted duck egg into their mouths.

The eyes that looked at them were almost magical, and Zilan was so frightened that she almost floated in the ice cellar.

Who can turn water into ice, the maids of the Second Young Mistress can do it, and they have seen how to do it with their own eyes and even helped.

There is a big iron block, and those ice cubes are clean, even if you put them in your mouth.

After such a time, the few of them walked in the palace even more proudly.

If Zilan wanted to ask for some news, as long as she knew it, she would not refuse to tell it. This was another gain.

Because Zhan Moyu was not in the mansion, Xin Ruoxian was also bored.

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, those people didn't move much, Xin Ruo was restless and focused on reducing the heat.

The ice cellar is divided into two, separated by a door, which contains large ice cubes.
Because of the door, although the outside room is also cold, it is not comparable to the inside. Wearing two extra clothes is just right to study the food for cooling down inside.

In such a hot day, the general cannibals don't have much appetite, so ice cream and the like are popular.

Anyway, she is also idle and bored, so she made some of these things to make the reputation of Drunken Fugui even louder.

On this day, Xin Ruo took the prepared ice cream to the princess's room, and kept ice cubes on the way, otherwise it would have to melt.

The princess ate cold mung bean soup in the house to cool off the heat, but it didn't work very well.

Seeing Xin Ruolai, he hurriedly said, "What are you doing here on such a hot day? Let's warm you up. Come and have a bowl of mung bean soup to cool off the heat. Many people in the house are dizzy from the heat. You can't be dizzy." fall down."

Xin Ruo nodded, and drank the mung bean soup as if she were drinking water.

On the other hand, Zilan asked Zilan to take out the ice cream. There were fruits on it, and it looked very good. Xin Ruo said, "Mother Concubine, Xin Ruo just made this. Try it, it's very refreshing."

This time, Xin Ruo made four or five kinds, all of which were kept ice-cold. As long as the concubine agrees, Zui Fugui will promote them later.

The concubine looked at the novelty, Xin Ruo's cakes were amazing, not only not the same as Zui Fugui's, but three points better, took the spoon that Xin Ruo handed over, scooped a spoon and put it into her mouth .

It's ice-cold and delicious. After two bites, the summer heat will go away a lot. Even the cold air that hits the face can relieve a lot of heat.

Xin Ruo only let the princess eat two or three spoonfuls of each dish, and the princess praised, "You don't know how to grow such a brain, and you just fiddle with things that the mother and concubine have never seen before. This is not bad."

Xin Ruo laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. Molan didn't eat less, but kept praising her. I don't know if it's really good or just fooling her. The princess's taste is the standard. Xin Ruo cooks it for you every day."

The concubine smiled gratifiedly, "It's enough if you have this kind of heart. The weather is hot, so don't tire yourself too much. If Yu'er is here, I will definitely like it."

Xin Ruo pursed her lips, she thought the same way when she was doing well, that guy was so tricky, so he wasn't afraid to hit her.

With him here, this ice cream can definitely be made better. Now try it out in Kyoto and promote it later. He will definitely be able to eat it, but it's a pity that she didn't make it.

Xin Ruo felt a little regretful thinking about it, not knowing how his affairs were handled, it has been half a month.

Xin Ruo was talking with the concubine, and the prince walked in, with a happy expression on his face.

Seeing that the princess was eating something she hadn't seen before, she rolled her eyes curiously.

Xin Ruo winked and ordered Zilan to put the things on the table, "Father must be hot when he came back from outside. You can eat some of this to relieve the heat."

The prince nodded, picked it up and ate it, and said to Xin Ruo, "The Holy Majesty praised you today, because of your prescription, the plague in Tongnan area has been well controlled."

Xin Ruo nodded and understood that Fang Zi was used to save such innocent people, and she also won a gold medal for avoiding death, which is not a loss at all.

Just as he was thinking, a little maid came in from outside, Fushen said, "Someone in the palace sent a letter to Young Mistress, saying that she is Young Mistress' concubine."

Xin Ruo twitched the corners of her mouth, and Yuan Xinran actually sent her a letter.

Xin Ruo took it over and looked at it, her eyes widened. It turned out to be an apology letter, apologizing for the matter of plotting against her with Princess Lingrong last time.

With a quick glance, Xin Ruo knew what she was planning. If she didn't apologize sooner or later, she came to apologize at the moment of the draft, because she had something to ask her for.

Really take her for a fool, if she can repent, the sun will come out of the west, and she dares to count her life for the sake of glory and wealth.

If Xin Ruo didn't plan to talk to her, who would go to the palace to suffer in such a hot day, so he told Mo Lan, "Go back to her, the weather is stuffy, and when the weather cools down, I will go to the palace to see her."

Mo Lanfu went down to answer the messenger, but when he came back, he brought back a bigger news.

The thirteenth prince was already too hot to eat, and he was waiting for Xin Ruo. Ever since he paid for the stinky tofu, the rice that Xin Ruo owed had been stuck there, and he hadn't moved it.

Xin Ruo gritted her teeth. On such a hot day, he actually let her enter the palace to cook him food, so she wouldn't be afraid that she would get angry and pour arsenic into it.

The princess also frowned, the sun is scorching outside, can Xin Ruo's thin body bear it?

Just as she was thinking of finding a reason to help Xin Ruo refuse, she heard Xin Ruo order, "Put this ice cream in a jar and freeze it so I can give him some more."
