Chapter 233 Ice Bowl
Right now it is the season when peaches and plums are fragrant, among the fruits brought up by the maids, there are not only peaches, plums, but also cherries and pears!

You know, at this time, the technology is low, so how easy is it to keep fruits fresh?

But Xue's Zhuangzi still has out-of-season fruits such as cherries, which is really surprising.

Xiaoya, who followed Chu Jiaojiao, subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and quickly lowered her head.

But the palm of my hand suddenly felt cold, and there was a bunch of cherry fruit in my hand.As soon as she looked up, she saw Chu Jiaojiao winking at her secretly.

Xiaoya smiled hastily, and then hurriedly hid the cherry fruit in her sleeve.

Ms. Wang was also very happy: "Sister Yutong, I didn't expect that there are such precious things to taste in your house. The fruit is sour and sweet, and I can't eat enough. I can only try it next year. , I don’t want your house to exist now.”

"Is this thing so rare? I don't know anything about it. Yue'e, tell me."

Xue Yutong randomly ordered a maid beside her.

Yue'e stood up and bowed to the two of them: "The servant girl, Yue'e, has seen Miss Wang and the doctor of Chu. It's just some fruits, and my lady doesn't know it normally. However, the servant girl was curious and asked about it.

This fruit is bright red and really beautiful, but it happens that there are many grown in Zhuangzi.The Zhuangzi is backed by a mountain, and the fruits on the sunny side ripen early, and the early-maturing varieties are planted in the Zhuangzi.On the north slope, the fruit ripens late, and the late-maturing varieties are deliberately planted.

At this moment, it is the time when the cherries on the north slope are ripe, and our Xuejia cellar has a lot of ice storage, so it is not a problem to store some fruits to keep them fresh. "

Yue'e spoke bluntly, and the pride in her words was self-evident.

You must know that in the countryside, only rich and noble families will dig deep cellars to store a large amount of ice cubes for use in the coming year.

The Xue family still has a wealth of Tibetan ice, which is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of power.

Miss Wang's eyebrows were filled with sadness.

She was originally a lady from the official family, but her father was just a mere county magistrate, compared with the behemoth Xue family, it seemed like a world of difference.

What's more, now that she is attached to Xue Yutong to go to Beijing, she will even rely on her breath to live in the future.

Thinking of these, she felt uncomfortable and panicked.

"It's just some hidden ice. As long as I want it, I can have as much as I want."

Chu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows proudly, met Yue'e's obviously disbelieving eyes, and immediately smiled, "Eat and drink first, I will come as soon as I go."

Last time when she was looking for Governor Lin, she passed a small hillside with only a few weeds growing sparsely, and the hillside was full of exposed saltpeter.Using saltpeter to make ice is a method that our ancestors discovered a long time ago.

At this moment, Chu Jiaojiao also found saltpeter, using the principle that saltpeter dissolves in water with a sharp drop in temperature, put honey into the prepared fresh milk to taste, then add a few bright cherry fruits, and peach pulp to make fruit ice.

It only took half an hour to go back and forth, and when Chu Jiaojiao returned, she brought back a few bowls of fruit ice bowls.

"Come, come, have a taste, does it taste good?"

In fact, Chu Jiaojiao would rather make ice cream, or make ice cream.It's just that there is no suitable mold right now, so she can only do this.

However, it seems that there is a mold for making snow bars in the refrigerator in the cabin?
It seems that we have to find an opportunity to use the mold openly.

"Oh! Sister Chu, your... fruit ice bowl is so delicious!"

Ms. Wang originally had the mentality of giving it a try, so she took a spoonful and tasted it.Unexpectedly, I was surprised when I tasted it.I hurriedly immersed myself in eating and eating.

Is it really so delicious?

Xue Yutong didn't hesitate for long, and took a sip.

After tasting it, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly ate it mouthful after mouthful.

She didn't put down the bowl until she finished eating the small bowl of fruit ice: "I didn't expect that Sister Chu not only has excellent medical skills, but also makes snacks that taste so delicious. Sister Chu, why don't you just eat it?" Come to Beijing with us! I will have a happy life with you by my side."

"To put it bluntly, anyone can make this thing, and it's worthless at all. If you bring an extra burden to Beijing just for this bowl of fruit ice, then it's not worth it." Chu Jiaojiao was also funny.

"It's worth it, if I say it's worth it, it's worth it!"

Xue Yutong nodded seriously: "Sister Chu, I'm serious, you should consider the previous proposal."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

It's always bad to refuse in person, Chu Jiaojiao verbally agreed to consider it, but she didn't intend to do so in her heart.

Right now, the affairs on her side have not been dealt with, even if she wants to leave, she must wait until she has done everything she needs to do before she can leave.

"Then you must seriously consider it."

Xue Yutong was very moved by this proposal.

Chu Jiaojiao not only has superb medical skills, but also makes delicious desserts, and most importantly, her martial arts are also very strong!
Although she has never shown her martial arts in front of her, but a woman can walk out of the pack of jackals at the border, and her skills during the period are naturally not a problem.

Besides, her real identity itself is a great help to her...

"Hahaha! The old man smelled the sweetness of the fruit from a long distance away, and wondered who was resting here. I never thought that it was Niece Xue who was here. Uncle Lin was rude."

With a hearty laugh, Governor Lin appeared at the intersection.

Chu Jiaojiao looked back, and saw Jiang Yunpeng walking slowly from a distance, dividing flowers and brushing willows.

There was a slight smile on his handsome face, and his sword-like brows and starry eyes made people feel a lot of affection at first glance.

The three people who were sitting upright hurriedly got up, Xue Yutong took the initiative to greet him: "So it's Uncle Lin, Yutong has met Uncle Lin." Chu Jiaojiao and Ms. Wang also took the opportunity to salute.

"No gift, no gift."

Governor Lin helped Xue Yutong up, then turned back and pointed to Jiang Yunpeng behind him: "Today, Yunpeng and I went out for an outing to enjoy the scenery. I never thought that I would unexpectedly see niece Xue here. Eh, what a good thing is this?!"

What surprised him was the fruit ice bowl that Chu Jiaojiao had just made.

Inside the milky white ice cube, there is a touch of bright red, as well as the pink of peach flesh.A scent of milky fragrance is continuously emitted, and the icy-cold touch is very surprising once you touch it.

"Niece Xue, can I have a taste?"

Xue Yutong hastily explained: "Don't dare to lie to Uncle Lin, this fruit ice bowl was specially made by Doctor Chu for me to taste. I made four bowls in total..."

She ate one bowl, Miss Wang also ate one, and Chu Jiaojiao hadn't even had time to eat the remaining two.

"There are still two bowls here, come here, Yunpeng, one bowl for each of us is just right."

Governor Lin familiarly greeted Jiang Yunpeng to eat an ice bowl.
