In ancient times, large families generally had ice cellars.

In the winter, the ice cellar will hide some ice in it, which can be used to chill things in the summer, and can even be used to store some perishable food.

However, even if the ice cubes are hidden in the ice cellar, with the arrival of summer, the ice will slowly melt and eventually melt clean.

There are too many places where Qinhou Mansion uses ice cubes in summer, even if they hide a lot of ice in winter, it is a little insufficient now, after all, in addition to their use, Sihaiju also needs to use it.

Hearing that there was no ice, Cheng Yanjin and the others immediately pursed their lips, a little disappointed.

"Really, why is there no ice, so you can get us a few jars of beer and drink it in my house, although the ice in my house is almost running out, there are still some of them."

There is not much ice in every house, but the summer is just halfway over.

Although I think it's a bit of a pity, it's also something that can't be helped.

Qin Tian didn't panic much, and said, "It's just ice, what's this, I can make ice for you in the summer." ”

After saying this, Cheng Yanjin and the others suddenly showed a look of disgust, they knew that Qin Tian was very powerful, but when they said the words of making ice in the summer, they were a bit forced.

"Don't make a fuss, you really think you're very good." Cheng Yanjin smiled.

Qin Tian pouted: "I'm not fooling around, what's so difficult about making ice in summer?" ”

"Really, you can really make ice in the summer?" Seeing that Qin Tian didn't seem to be joking, everyone was also a little surprised.

"Of course you can make ice, and it's very simple, come on!"

At the sound of an order, someone immediately ran over: "What do you have to say about Master Hou?" ”

"Get some saltpeter."

Saltpeter has appeared at this time, and every year on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, someone will put saltpeter into a bamboo tube to ignite by heating, and the sound of explosion will occur to welcome the New Year.

Of course, gunpowder did not appear.

It's not hard to find saltpeter.

Soon, the subordinates in the house brought Qin Tian a bag of saltpeter.

After the saltpeter came, Qin Tian sent someone to get a basin of water, and then put the saltpeter into the water.

When everyone saw this, they were a little diffuse.

"Xiaotian, if you put this saltpeter into the water, you can make ice?"

Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, after saltpeter dissolves in water, it can absorb a lot of heat, which in turn causes the water to freeze, you can look at it, soon." ”

Sure enough, just as Qin Tian said this, the water in the basin really slowly condensed into ice, and everyone saw with their own eyes that in this big summer, a basin of water turned into ice.

The shock was even more incredible than seeing a sow go up a tree.

"This ...... This is amazing, with this, who still uses the ice cellar? ”

"It's just that making ice cubes is easy and convenient, amazing, amazing......"

Cheng Yanjin and the others were full of praise, and Qin Tian laughed: "Now you believe it, right?" ”

"Believe, believe!"

If you see it with your own eyes, can you believe it?

At this time, the next person took the ice cube and went down to the cold beer, and they finally began to eat and drink.

Halfway through the meal, a cold beer was served, and everyone took a sip of it, and they all felt very refreshed.

When Qin Tian was drinking beer, he suddenly thought of something, popsicles.

In the previous life, many people liked to eat popsicles in summer, adding a little sugar to the ice cubes, it tasted sweet and cool, and the most comfortable thing in summer was probably nothing more than this, right?

In later generations, this is all a small business, which is nothing, but in the summer of the Tang Dynasty, this is probably a luxury, right?

Qin Tian thought about it, and felt that after eating, he could try to make some out.

Full of wine and food, noon had passed, Cheng Yanjin and the others didn't stay long, rubbed their stomachs and left, and after they left, Qin Tian here immediately started making popsicles.

"Come on, make me some bamboo skewers, the bamboo skewers are flat, half the length of chopsticks, by the way, bring some sugar and honey over ......"

Qin Tian commanded like this, and the subordinates were busy.

----------------

In the backyard, the Ninth Princess and Tang Rong sit together and play mahjong, while Xiaoqing and Fluttershy play beside them.

"Miss, I heard that Master Hou made ice cubes in the summer, Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong were all surprised."

Xiaoqing said casually, but after he said this, several women who were playing mahjong suddenly stopped.

"How is it possible to make ice cubes in the summer?" The Ninth Princess frowned, he also knew that the ice cubes in their mansion were gone, but she couldn't believe that Qin Tian could make ice cubes in the summer.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, of course it's true, this matter was passed on by the little guy in front, if it's not true, do they dare to say that?"

Seeing what Xiaoqing said, everyone became more and more curious.

"After Lu Guogong and the others are gone, how about we go and see?" Tang Rong proposed, and the ninth princess and Lu Huaniang hurriedly agreed.

The weather is still a little hot and dry, and in a small courtyard, the cicadas are singing loudly.

When Qin Tian was making popsicles under a tree, the Ninth Princess and they rushed over like this.

Seeing a lot of ice cubes next to Qin Tian, everyone was stunned.

"Xianggong, did you really make an ice cube?" Tang Rong was the first to speak, and the others followed with curious glances, Qin Tian smiled: "Of course it's true, not only have ice cubes been made, but there are also good things for you." ”

Saying that, Qin Tian gave them the made popsicles, the popsicles were solidified with bamboo sticks, and they could be eaten with bamboo sticks, and everyone was very puzzled.

"Isn't this just an ice cube, what for?"

"Taste it, and you'll know when you taste it."

"Eating ice?"

Everyone was a little speechless, although the summer was very hot, but they had never eaten ice cubes in the summer, first, although there were ice cubes in the ice cellar, but they were all ice cubes that had been put for more than half a year, who dared to eat them, they were all dirty.

These ice cubes were made by Qin Tian in the summer, thinking that they should be clean, everyone hesitated, and finally took a small bite.

A small piece of ice in the mouth, immediately felt comfortable all over the body, and it was faintly different from the ice cube, because they tasted a sweet taste.

The combination of sweetness and coldness is simply an experience like never before.

Fluttershy takes another bite, and it doesn't take long for him to eat a popsicle.

"Big brother, it's so delicious, I still want it."

Qin Tian was speechless, and gave her another piece: "You can only eat cool food a day, and if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea." ”

Children like to eat sweet, and they also like to eat popsicles, but this thing really can't be eaten too much.

"If you think it's delicious, I'll order someone to make more and sell it on the street."
