Chapter 256

"I wonder if childe Yun has ever heard of an idiom called 'people speak louder than gold'? In fact, it's not just my rumors, but many things are like this. Even what I saw with my own eyes is not necessarily true, not to mention rumors that come from nowhere? Right, young master Yun. "

Yun Xian was sure that Yan Qiqi's last words meant something. He was about to continue asking, but Yan Qiqi smiled at him, "young master Yun, are you hot?"

Before he answered, she lowered her voice and looked mysterious, "do you want to eat ice cream?"

"Ice cream?"

Yunxian has never heard of this word.

But now Yan Qiqi is interested. In modern times, on hot days, she eats an ice cream every day. In this poor world, although she has no worries about food and clothing in the Chengguo government, ice cubes are only used to relieve summer heat and freeze melons and fruits. There is no ice cream in this era.

Now it reminds her greedy insect that she wants to eat ice cream today.

"Let's go. I'll give you a taste of something you've never had before."

In addition to the horse farm specially for the training of officials' children, the military and Horse Department also has a special rest place.

Huanxi took some raisins and almonds from the carriage to the place designated by Yan Qiqi.

At this time, Yan Qiqi and Yun Xian were borrowing the small kitchen of the army and horse department and sitting around the stove with big eyes and small eyes.

"Just now you said 'ice cream'. My understanding is that it should be related to snow. Now you're burning hot water here?" Yun Xian looked at her with a look of - 'I think you're kidding me'.

Yan Qiqi didn't have time to explain to him. He was not idle in his hand. He added some firewood to the stove. The fire became more vigorous in an instant. In the cool summer days, a layer of sweat had poured out on her forehead.

The tea on the stove was already gurgling, and the steam had pushed up the lid of the teapot.

"Almost."

At the command, he took out the hot Jiugong lattice iron box and poured the boiling water into the lattice. Yunxian saw that there were still some dried fruits in the lattice.

After the master and servant packed the boiling water, they quickly closed the lid and sealed it. They were glad to see the wind under their feet and hurried back with the box.

The army and horses department is in the wilderness, and even the rest place is very simple. There is only a water well in the backyard. Yan Qiqi knows that Yun Xian has been wondering. She smiles like a cat who has stolen the fishy smell and waves to Yun Xian, "Yun Xian, come quickly and witness the miracle."

When they came to the backyard, they just saw that joy carefully tied the iron box with a rope and put it into the well. "Hiss", and a thick smoke floated up from the well.

"Is this what you call a miracle?" Yunxian felt that his IQ had been insulted.

"Don't worry. Wait patiently. You'll be surprised." Yan Qiqi was always mysterious, but he didn't tell him what it was.

At this time, her eyes were as bright as stars, her eyes were slightly curved, her lips were purring, and her face showed a touch of cunning. Unexpectedly, she was a charming and naive girl he had never seen before.

Yun Xian was stunned.

After about half an hour, Yan Qiqi ordered, "well, it's almost time, joy, come on, bring up the box!" At the right time, the joy of receiving the order quickly picked up the box and put it on the small table next to the well.

Yan Qiqi couldn't wait to run over and open it. After Jiegai saw the finished product, he looked more surprised and hurriedly waved to Yun Xian, "Yun Xian, come here, the ice cream is made!"

Yun Xian had already got used to her yelling, and walked over very calmly. He didn't understand what Yan Qiqi was doing. He thought she must be doing something that her little daughter's family liked, so he didn't hold any hope.

But when he walked in and found that the boiling water in the small iron box had turned into ice, the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

"What is this...?"

He couldn't believe what his eyes saw.

In Dayan state, ice is a rare thing. Every winter, a special army will go to the river to break the ice, and then take it to the ice cellar for storage. There is a fixed quota for ice from the palace aristocrats to the people. Even in dog days, the ice used for ice is stored in winter, and he never knew that this method could be used to make ice, A look of shock was evident.

Of course, Yan Qiqi knew what he was surprised at. There was no saltpeter ice making in this era. All ice cubes depended on storage. At first sight, he would be surprised.

"As you can see, this is ice cream. Try it." Yan Qiqi dug a lattice with an iron spoon, took out a wooden stick, and put two thumb sized ice cubes to Yun Xian's mouth.

Yun Xian took it but didn't eat it.

Yan Qiqi didn't care about him. She continued to dig with a spoon and gave Huanxi a piece. Huanxi had never eaten it. She asked Yan Qiqi with an embarrassed face, "princess, how do you eat this? Can you eat? "

"Be careful, lick your teeth first, just like me." Yan Qiqi reacted at this time. They should not know how to eat. This ice is the smallest piece she can think of. Yun Xian saw her holding a spoon and gently sweeping her tongue on the ice. Her delicate lips were soft against the ice, and some water droplets slipped down the corners of her lips

Yun Xian suddenly felt a little thirsty.

It happened that Yan Qiqi turned back and looked at him in surprise, "why don't you eat? Give me some advice and I'll improve next time. "

The devil sent the devil. Yun Xian tasted it. Originally, he didn't hope, but it was cold and sweet in his throat. The taste was actually good.

"OK."

This sentence gave Yan Qiqi great confidence. She put down half of the ice cream and asked joy to bring her a bowl. "Since you all like it, I'll show you my hand and make a smoothie for you."

"Smoothie? Princess, would you like to put sand in it? Is that still edible? " Joy asked a very stupid question.

"Hahaha, Huanxi, are you so confident in me? Don't worry, I won't put sand. It must be a delicious food you've never eaten! " Yan Qi explained on his mouth, and the movement in his hand didn't stop.
