Chapter 258 Making Ice Cubes
Li Yi quickly bought what Feng Qingyi needed, "Miss, I've bought saltpeter, is this enough?"
Feng Qingyi was shocked to see Li Yi carrying a large bag, "Why did you buy so much?"
"This thing is not worth much, it's everywhere outside the city." Li Yi said.
Feng Qingyi: "Please help carry it to the backyard, and then help us find a large basin and some smaller basins."
"Okay, I'll borrow a large basin from the butcher on the street outside!" Li Yi hurried out.
Feng Qingyi held her forehead, "It doesn't need to be that big!"
Xu Linghe asked: "Qingyi, what are these saltpeter used for?"
Feng Qingyi said: "You will know later, there are actually some other ways to make ice cubes, but saltpeter is more convenient."
Li Yi and the butcher moved the large basin and placed it in the backyard. Several waiters from the teahouse gathered around to see what was going on.
Li Yi found a few small basins from the kitchen, "Miss, is this okay?"
Feng Qingyi nodded, "It's all right, you help fill this big basin half with water."
Everyone followed Feng Qingyi's instructions, and soon the basin was filled with water.
Feng Qingyi asked everyone to fill a few small basins with water and put them in the big basin.
"Can this really make ice cubes?" Li Yi asked.
Feng Qingyi smiled and said, "Of course, Linghe, let's put this saltpeter into the big basin together."
Xu Linghe nodded, "Okay."
The saltpeter was put into the big basin and quickly dissolved in water.
Feng Qingyi looked at the water in the small basin, "Put more."
"It really froze, this is amazing!"
"Look, the water in this basin has turned into ice. I didn't expect that making ice cubes is so easy!"
Xu Linghe touched the ice cubes in the basin, "Qingyi, you are so amazing!"
Feng Qingyi: "These are all basic common sense. You can also try it at home."
"These ice cubes can be taken to the kitchen first. We will find a larger container to make larger ice cubes and put them in the hall to cool down."
The waiter quickly found a suitable container, successfully made ice cubes in the same way as before, and lifted the ice cubes to the hall together.
Feng Qingyi and Xu Linghe sat in the hall and felt it. It was indeed much cooler than before, especially when the wind blew.
Feng Qingyi stared at the large piece of ice in a daze. It seems that some containers specially placed for ice cubes should be made.
"Qingyi, what are you thinking about?" Xu Linghe asked.
"Nothing, I just think I need to make a few more containers for storing ice cubes and put them in different places." Feng Qingyi said.
Xu Linghe: "Actually, I think this is already very good. I see that other places have a piece of ice in the middle."
Feng Qingyi thought for a while, "Putting it in the middle will affect everyone's movement. It's better to make some suitable containers so that we can put more ice cubes in it."
"That's fine. You can make it now if you tell me what style you need." Xu Linghe said.
Feng Qingyi found a pen and paper on the counter, drew a container for ice cubes, and asked Li Yi to find someone to help make it.
"Linghe, come with me to the kitchen, I'll make you something to drink."
Xu Linghe stood up quickly, "Okay, okay! Let's go quickly, I remember you said you would do it before."
"Let's go see what we can use in the kitchen first."
The two came to the kitchen, because there were some ice cubes in the kitchen, it was not as hot as imagined.
Feng Qingyi saw the oranges on the table, "Here are oranges, let's make orange oolong tea."
"Okay, do you need my help?" Xu Linghe asked.
Feng Qingyi looked around and said, "You don't have a juicer here, so you can only squeeze the juice manually. Cut the orange pulp into small pieces and put them on the plate."
"Okay." Xu Linghe took a few oranges, peeled and sliced them.
Feng Qingyi was brewing oolong tea on the side, and after the tea was brewed, she put it aside to cool.
Xu Linghe had also cut the oranges. Feng Qingyi found a pestle and mortar, put the chopped pulp into the mortar, and used the pestle to squeeze out the juice.
It didn't take long for the orange juice to be squeezed out. Feng Qingyi poured the juice into a cup, poured a little oolong tea on it, and added the cut ice cubes.
Xu Linghe looked at the color in the cup, "It doesn't look very good."
Feng Qingyi handed the cup to her, "Try it, if it's sour, you can add some sugar."
Xu Linghe took it doubtfully and took a sip, "It's quite delicious!"
Feng Qingyi also poured herself a cup, "I feel it's a bit sour, I'd better add some sugar."
"I like sour, I don't need this cup, I think it's good like this." Xu Linghe said.
Feng Qingyi: "Then drink more, this is very suitable for summer."
Xu Linghe asked: "Are you going to launch this kind of tea?"
Feng Qingyi shook her head, "I just made this casually. If I want to sell it, I need to prepare some things. This tea cup is not suitable for these drinks."
"Write down what you need and let the waiter buy it?" Xu Linghe said.
Feng Qingyi: "There are some things that are not here. I need to go back. Do you want to accompany me?"
"Go to your place?" Xu Linghe asked.
Feng Qingyi nodded: "Well, do you want to go?"
Xu Linghe: "Of course, I've seen your life in the fantasy world before, and I really want to go and see it."
Feng Qingyi: "Then let's go to the private room upstairs and go back from there."
Xu Linghe held Feng Qingyi's hand, "Then let's go quickly!"
Feng Qingyi took Xu Linghe to the villa again. After the two of them packed up, Feng Qingyi took her to the supermarket.
In the supermarket, Xu Linghe was very curious about everything, looking around like a curious baby.
Feng Qingyi followed the shopping list and began to select the items she needed to buy.
Xu Linghe wandered around, "Qingyi, there are so many fruits here! Can I buy them all?"
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Whatever you want, just pick it."
"Then I won't be polite!" Xu Linghe picked a few big watermelons and put them in the shopping cart.
Feng Qingyi: "As long as you can carry it back, you can buy as many as you want."
"Don't worry, I'm very strong." Xu Linghe is very confident in herself.
The two picked a full shopping cart in the supermarket. After paying, each of them carried two large bags back to the private room of the teahouse.
After moving all these things into the back kitchen, Feng Qingyi prepared to start making cold drinks.
"Qingyi, what are you going to do?"
Feng Qingyi: "Make some fruit tea. When it's ready, let's taste it together and pick out the most suitable ones to sell."
"Then I'll help you." Xu Linghe volunteered.
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Okay, then you can help cut the fruit."
