Just as Zhang San was talking to Sun Simiao, the younger sister ran in happily and said to Sun Simiao: "Master, you are here. Last time Third Brother and I went to see you, you happened to be away."
Seeing the little sister come in, Sun Simiao also smiled and replied: "I went out to help a friend of mine see a doctor some time ago. I just came back. It's been a long time, little sister."
The three of them sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Sun Simiao said he had something to do in the temple and left first. Zhang San and his younger sister sent Sun Simiao out together and said they would visit the real person when they had time.
"Third brother, it's so hot today!" the younger sister said, using her hand as a fan to fan herself.
"It's almost July, can it not be too hot?"
"Third brother, are you still going to the industrial park to watch? It's so hot today you should stay at home."
"It's okay, it's not far. I'll go take a look and take a walk and then come back. Then I'll prepare delicious food for you." Zhang San patted the little girl's head and said.
"Hmph, you slapped me on the head again and knocked me silly. What should I do?" the little girl said angrily.
"Haha, I'm not smart at all." Zhang San joked.
"Third brother, what are you going to make delicious food?" the younger sister asked eagerly.
"You'll know when you get back. Stay at home well while Third Brother goes."
"Brother Stinky, huh!"
When the little girl saw Zhang San running away after saying that, she stamped her foot angrily.
"Xiaolan, let's go find Sister Xiaoyu." The younger sister felt bored at home, so she asked Xiaolan to go back to the village with two guards.
Xiaoyu and Cunzheng are going to calculate the funds needed for the construction of the industrial park together today. If the funds are not enough, Zhang San is going to borrow some from Cheng Chumo and others first, and then pay them back.
…
"Sir, you are here." Zhang Ergou saw Zhang San approaching and ran over quickly to ask.
"You guys are very fast. The foundation is almost dug." Zhang San praised.
"Brothers finally have work to do, so naturally they work hard and work overtime, and the speed is faster." Zhang Ergou said with a smile.
"It's too hot, so don't do anything at noon. Pay attention to rest and don't get heatstroke. When you get back, I'll have someone cook more mung bean soup and deliver it." Zhang San instructed.
"Thank you Sir for your concern, I will let everyone pay attention."
"The construction of the industrial park must not be careless. This will be the foundation for our future development. You must use good materials in selecting materials. Just tell Muramasa how much money you need." Zhang San said to Ergou.
"Okay Sir, according to your instructions, I have reported the materials I need to Muramasa. Once he calculates the amount, I can take people to buy it." Zhang Ergou replied.
"Okay, please be more careful here and remember to ask everyone to pay more attention." Zhang San looked around and found that Zhang Ergou did a good job. After saying a few more words, he went back to his house.
"Zhang Fu, have you bought the saltpeter I asked you to go to the city to buy?" Zhang San returned home and called Zhang Fu to ask.
"Sir, I bought it, but the quantity is not large, so I put it in the backyard." Zhang Fu said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. It's okay here. You can go down and rest first!" After Zhang San said that, he went to the backyard to look for saltpeter.
Yesterday, Zhang San's idea was to imitate the ice cream that everyone liked to eat in the summer of his previous life, and make several different flavors of ice cream to give to Fang Keying. No girl can refuse this delicious food, especially in the summer.
Of course, to make ice cream, you first need ice. There were no ice machines or refrigerators in this era, so Zhang San wanted to find some saltpeter to make ice.
At this time, saltpeter was mostly used as one of the materials for alchemy. Zhang San told Zhang Fu the basic information about saltpeter and asked him to go to the city to buy some. If he couldn't buy it, he would find more Taoists to have a look.
"Sister-in-law Li, where are the little sisters?" Zhang San came to the backyard and didn't see the little sister, so he called Sister-in-law Li and asked.
"Sir, Miss and Xiaolan went to the village to find Manager Jade." Sister-in-law Li replied.
"Oh, it's okay. By the way, please go to the sugar factory and bring me some milk and maltose." Zhang San said.
"Okay, sir, I'll go now." After Mrs. Li said that, she hurried to the sugar factory to find some sugar.
Zhang San found a clean basin from the kitchen, asked a servant to bring a bucket of water, and then found some fruits and some melon seeds.
"Third brother, why did you ask Sister-in-law Li to find maltose and milk to make something delicious?" The little girl ran in jumping, followed by Xiaoyu, Sister-in-law Li and Xiaolan.
"Of course, I will make something delicious for you later." Zhang San said with a smile.
After Sister-in-law Li put down the milk and maltose, she left with Xiaolan. Usually, as long as the three brothers Zhang and Xiaoyu were together in the house, the servants would leave voluntarily and not disturb them unless they were called for something.
"Come here and help me peel the melon seeds." Zhang San said to the little girl.
"Okay!" The little girl smiled happily when she heard that there was something delicious.
"Sir, I'm here to help you too." Xiaoyu also squatted down to help Zhang San peel the melon seeds.
"What is the third brother cooking delicious?" the younger sister asked.
"Ice cream, haven't you ever eaten it?" Zhang San said proudly.
"What is ice cream?" the little girl asked curiously.
"You'll find out later. Let's see Third Brother perform a magic trick for you." Zhang San took a piece of saltpeter and threw it into the water.
I saw bursts of cold air coming out of the water in the basin, and then the water froze visibly to the naked eye.
This scene shocked both Xiaomei and Xiaoyuren. Zhang San actually turned water into ice.
Looking at the two people with wide eyes, Zhang San smiled proudly.
"Third brother, how did you do it? It's incredible. It's so cool." The younger sister asked with admiration.
"Sir, you are really amazing." Xiaoyu also admired you.
"Haha, don't be obsessed with me, he is just a legend." Zhang Santian laughed shamelessly.
"Smelly." The little girl rolled her eyes at Zhang San.
Xiaoyu also smiled.
Zhang San asked Xiaoyu to wash several fruits, cut the peaches and plums into small pieces, and mash the grapes and cherries into juice.
Then use several small bowls to put different fruits separately, and add ice, milk and melted maltose water.
"Just wait a few minutes." Zhang San clapped his hands and said.
"Is that all right?" the little girl asked.
"Of course, it will be delicious." Zhang San replied.
"Brother Third, how did you make this ice?" The younger sister was very curious about Zhang San's hands.
"This is the method that the outsider told me. This saltpeter will dissolve and absorb heat when it encounters water, causing the temperature of the surrounding environment to drop rapidly, and then condense the water into ice." Zhang San explained.
"It's really amazing. How come that person knows everything? He's not a god, is he?" the younger sister asked curiously.
"I really can't say for sure, maybe he is an immortal. Otherwise, how would he know so much." Zhang Sanqiang replied while holding back the smile in his heart.
"Okay, come and try it quickly, but don't eat too much, otherwise you will easily have diarrhea." Zhang San saw that it was almost done and said to the two women.
"I want this peach." The little girl picked up the ice cream made with peaches and said happily.
Xiaoyu chose the plum flavor, Zhang San took the grape flavor, and Zhang San called Sister-in-law Li and Xiaolan to share the remaining portion with the servants to try together.
Sister-in-law Li and Xiaolan were obviously shocked when they saw the ice cream, but they knew it was the owner's secret and didn't dare to ask more questions. It would be a great blessing to have a few bites with them. Where could they find such a kind-hearted person?
I went to the host who was approachable and considerate. After thanking me quickly, I picked up the remaining bowls and left.
"How does it taste?" Zhang San asked.
"It's so delicious, I want to eat it again." The little girl took a large piece of it with a spoon and put it in her mouth. She narrowed her eyes happily and said to Zhang San.
"It's delicious. It's ice cold. It's very comfortable to eat in summer." Xiaoyu was also attracted by the delicious food and said while eating.
"That's good, it's delicious, but only one bowl per person will cause diarrhea if you eat too much." Zhang San was very satisfied with the result, so he planned to carefully make several molds to make ice cream, and then give them to Fang Keyinghao
