Chapter 175 The secret recipe passed down by the ancestors
The terrace is covered with anti-corrosion wooden boards. Cuiying, Madam Cao and Zhang will wipe it with rags every day, which is clean and comfortable.
After everyone sat down in two tables, Xu Jingluo poured Meng Fei a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
"It's a pity that there is no wine." Xu Jingluo smiled and raised the teacup, "Then use tea instead of wine. Thank you Memphigo for sending us a carriage here so far."
"Thank you Memphigo." Xu Jingling and Xu Jingan also picked up the teacup.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Meng." Zhang and others raised the teacup.
Meng Fei smiled gently. Although he was a military officer, he had asked his husband to break up his writing skills since he was a child. He not only had the courage of a military officer, but also had the knowledge of a literati. He was both civil and military.
"Auntie, Sister Jing Luo, Jing An and Jing Ling... Thank you for your hospitality! We will be our own family in the future. We don't have to thank each other for helping each other. I'll be honored by tea instead of wine."
After saying that, Meng Fei drank all the tea.
"Dry." Everyone also drank all the tea, which is also a kind of respect for people. After all, everyone is having a first time meeting, and these etiquettes are still unavoidable.
After a few words of politeness, everyone started eating.
Meng Fei picked up an abalone and tasted it. He immediately felt that every taste bud in his mouth was cheering and it was so delicious!
I couldn't help but raise my thumbs up and praise it loudly.
"This seafood is indeed fresh and tender, and it is a unique place in the world." As he said that, he looked at Xu Jingluo with his eyes shining. "If there is a way to transport this seafood to inland cities, I don't know how popular it will be... In this way, this business alone may be able to earn countless wealth."
Xu Jingluo narrowed his eyes slightly. She had thought about this business before.
No matter how much Shuanglong City’s business is done, it is just to allow everyone to eat meat to fill their stomachs. After they can regain their freedom in the future, they should indeed consider these big businesses.
By the way, saltpeter makes ice. If you can find saltpeter, don’t say it’s too far away. It’s okay to ship it to Shuanglong City, right?
Don’t talk about making money by selling it, it’s good to take some back to Uncle Meng, Uncle Wu, Uncle Jiang and the others to try it!
Thinking of this, Xu Jingluo looked up at Meng Fei.
"If Memphigo is not in a hurry to go back to the city, maybe I can find a way to keep the seafood fresh in a few days, so that you can bring some seafood back to the city for everyone to try."
"Is that so? That's great." Meng Fei's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, and he hurriedly replied, "All the work in the field is done, and I don't know how to repair the house. I have time."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Jingluo impatiently, "It takes a day and a night to ride a horse to Shuanglong City by the sea. What good way does Sister Jingluo have to keep these seafood fresh?"
The weather is too hot, even if the wild boar dies, it will only take half a day to produce a odor, not to mention that these seafood that is more likely to deteriorate.
So, what kind of way does Sister Jing Luo have to keep seafood fresh? He is really curious.
However, he was the only one who was curious. The others were eating and picking up food with a calm look on their faces, and didn't even raise their heads.
As a member of the Xu family, who doesn’t know that Xu Jingluo is a ‘god’ and knows how to come down from the earth. Is it not normal to turn some ice cubes and other things out?
Once the weather is hot these days, they can eat "fairy-like" food, ice cream, what is the difference between that thing and ice cube? No one really feels strange.
Meng Fei didn't notice that everyone's expression was wrong, and looked at Xu Jingluo eagerly wanted to hear her answer.
Xu Jingluo was being entangled by Xiao Huihui at this moment.
Xiao Huihui kept crawling towards her like a hungry puppy. There was no trace of the evil light that a wolf should have in her green eyes, only Erhu was stupid, aggrieved and full of complaints, as if she was constantly expressing her dissatisfaction.
Ao~~ Everyone can eat at the table but I can't, Ao~~ Don't you treat me as your family anymore? Ao~~~~
Xu Jingluo had no choice but to pick up Xiao Huihui, pick up a piece of abalone, a few pieces of fish and a few shrimps, put it in a small, specially disinfected bowl, and then put the small bowl on his legs.
When Xiao Huihui was picked up, Xu Jingluo had injected it with rabies vaccine and anti-worming medicine, and bathed it every day without any odor, so he made it close to humans in this way.
Xiao Huihui's eyes flashed with excitement, and she whirled again to express her satisfaction, and then buried her head in her own meal.
I ate very seriously and didn't touch Xu Jingluo any of the soup.
Meng Fei silently looked at Xu Jingluo as a wolf, looking at feeding like a family member, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Such a girl is kind enough, unique enough to be attractive enough to raise a vicious wolf cub into a docile dog.
After taking care of Xiao Huihui, Xu Jingluo raised his head.
"Making ice." She said calmly with her chin, "I know a way to make ice, maybe I can try it."
"Making ice?" Meng Fei's eyes were full of shock, "Can ice be made?"
He only knew that every household in the capital had dug ice kilns. In winter, they cut ice cubes into cubes and moved them into ice cellars for storage. In summer, they moved ice cubes out of the ice cellar to cool down the heat.
This ice can still be made? It is really the first time I have heard it before.
"Yes, make ice." Xu Jingluo saw Meng Fei's unbelievable look and repeated it in a positive tone, "I have a way to make ice. If Memphigo is interested, let's study it together."
Ice cubes, Xu Jingluo can naturally buy them in the space mall. If you can find saltpeter to make ice, wouldn’t it be possible to move the ice to the open?
This is also the real purpose of her saying this to Meng Fei, allowing him to participate and witness together that there can be ice cubes in such an unstoppable south.
Meng Fei hesitated.
"This method of making ice should be a secret recipe passed down by Miss Jing Luo's ancestors? If I study it together, wouldn't it be leaked to me?"
"It's okay." Xu Jingluo narrowed his smile with his chin, "Didn't Memphigo just now that everyone is a family? What's the matter with the family?"
Meng Fei could not refute this, so he could only nod and agree.
"Okay, after dinner, Memphigo, you will accompany me to find something. If you are lucky enough to find it, ice making will not be a problem." Xu Jingluo said.
"Okay." Meng Fei responded with an excited look on his face, only to feel that the girl was becoming more and more interested in him.
After dinner, Xu Jingluo weaved his waist-length black hair into two neat braids, put a bundle cross-body, put tools such as hiking rope and fire disassembly into the bundle, and took Meng Fei and Xu Jing'an to find saltpeter.
Her goal is very clear, the python hole on the cliff.
In addition to saltpeter mine caves, there are also corners of the walls and grounds in places like pigpens, stables, and toilets. When the autumn is clear and cool, it will be separated into salt flowers.
Xu Jingluo was not very clear about the principle, but he would always be in that dirty environment.
There are countless dirty rots in the python cave, and according to her, she estimates that something like saltpeter will be precipitated on the cliff walls.
Xu Jingluo pointed to the cliff on the other side of the waterfall, "There are several caves on the cliff, and it is very likely that saltpeter can be found inside, but if you want to go down the cave, you probably have to climb to the top of the cliff and then slide to the entrance of the cave through the rope."
"Then let me leave this matter." Meng Fei nodded with a confident look.
He is a general. Although he does not have the ability to fly over the eaves and walls, the problem of relying on ropes should not be big.
"Yeah, let's find a way to climb to the top of the cliff first." Xu Jingluo said as he headed north.
The terrain on the beach is low in the south and high in the north, and the cliff is low in the bottom as it goes north.
The three of them went north along the bottom of the cliff and found a suitable place to climb to the top of the cliff.
After reaching the top of the cliff, my vision suddenly became clear. There was an endless sea in front, a neatly located fishing village on the left, and a dense forest filled with rugged rocks and various ancient trees on the right, extending all the way to the east.
And that line of waterfall flowed out from the strange rocks and ancient trees and flew down from the cliff.
After walking a distance between the ancient trees on the cliff, several people came to the waterfall.
