Lin Xueer, Zhongli Ruoshui's personal maid, brought two basins of water, one large and one small, and put them on the table.
Except for Amu, everyone else looked at Li Chenan.
Li Chenan picked up the jar and smelled it, the smell was very strong, it was undoubtedly saltpeter powder.
After thinking about it, he said to Lin Xueer again, "Didn't the kitchen make herbal tea? Bring all the herbal tea."
"oh!"
Lin Xueer turned and left with question marks on her forehead, Zhongli Ruoshui asked curiously, "What is this... for?"
"Hey, I'll make a basin of ice for you guys!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was startled, those beautiful big eyes immediately looked at Li Chenan, "Ice?"
"Did you say to make a basin of ice this summer?"
"Yes, you will be able to witness this miracle after a while!"
Don't say that Zhongli Ruoshui doesn't believe it, everyone here doesn't believe it, even Amu is no exception.
He was still looking at the lotus pond.
In fact, his eyes have been falling on the lotus flower in the lotus pond.
The lotus has not yet fully bloomed, but it stands gracefully in the lake. In his eyes, the lotus is as beautiful as Zhongli Ruoyu.
Hearing Li Chenan's words, he still didn't turn his head, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little, wondering if Li Chenan wanted to use this method to further gain Zhongli Ruoshui's favor?
Is this the way to please women?
It's just that this is clearly impossible!
He said so swearingly.
How can he live up to this lie?
Who gave him the courage to talk nonsense?
Xiong Da grinned foolishly at this time, he scratched his head, "Master, if you say that you can conjure a flower... the villain thinks, I'm afraid there is still a possibility."
"You said you made a basin of ice..."
He looked up at the burning sun in the sky,
"If you really conjure a basin of ice, you will be a god in the sky. If you have any orders in the future, even if it is going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire, the villain will not hesitate!"
"You said this, you can't go back on your word!"
Xiong Da hammered his chest, "Repent, I, Xiong Da, is a bear!"
"Okay, just wait and see!"
After a while, Lin Xueer brought a can of herbal tea.
Li Chenan put the small pot into the big pot, and put the herbal tea jar into the small pot, and then poured the saltpeter powder in the pot into the water in the big pot under the eyes of everyone.
After a few breaths, Zhongli Ruoshui and the others were shocked to see smoke rising from the basin!
The smoke became thicker and thicker, and as the smoke rose, the scorching air seemed to cool down a little.
Su Muxin raised her head and looked at Li Chenan in disbelief, "Why is this happening?"
"This thing will absorb a lot of heat when it meets water, so the temperature of the surrounding air will drop, and when the low temperature and high temperature meet, they will condense into small water droplets, which is the smoke you see."
"After a while, you will see the water in the basin freeze into ice!"
At this moment, Amu also keenly felt the coolness.
He turned around in shock, looked at the smoke on the basin, then at Li Chenan, and suddenly found that this kid was a little mysterious.
He seems to be able to conjure ice!
It seemed interesting to follow him back.
This miraculous phenomenon attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, even Zhongli Ruoshui seemed to have forgotten the big trouble Li Chenan was about to face at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She stared at the basin of this size without blinking, and suddenly felt that Li Chenan was even more mysterious, thinking that if he really turned into ice——
In this hot day, if there is ice to cool down, how comfortable will the day be?
Looking at the entire Ning Kingdom, except for the emperor, the rest of the imperial concubines probably do not have the qualification to enjoy the comfort brought by ice in such hot weather.
Without it, the storage of ice cubes is too difficult.
Every winter, the royal family would ask the Ministry of Industry to recruit civilian husbands to collect ice. It is said that those ice cubes are stored in an ice cellar somewhere in the harem.
But the amount of storage is always limited, and in the hot summer season, a lot of ice cubes in the ice cellar will melt.
So grandpa said that even the emperor can't enjoy this thing without restraint.
Now Li Chenan can actually conjure ice out of thin air like this...
If it is given to grandpa and grandma, if such two basins of ice are placed in their room... I am afraid they will smile and love Li Chen'an even more!
Go to Hou Mansion after a while!
Bring this tub of ice!
Grandma has to be told about the imperial decree from the emperor, if Li Chenan made any mistakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, if the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion had been arranged earlier, Li Chenan would be able to save the day!
Li Chenan just wanted to drink a cup of herbal tea at this moment, but he didn't expect that Zhongli Ruoshui had already thought a lot.
Hours passed like this, the mist on the water basin gradually dissipated, everyone's eyes fell on the small water basin, everyone was dumbfounded——
The water in the small basin really froze!
That can of herbal tea was frozen in the small water basin!
The ice is crystal clear under the sunlight, and it also reflects the dazzling light!
"It's done!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was overjoyed, she clapped her little hands and jumped up, "It really turned into ice! You are so amazing!"
Except for Amu, everyone is cheering at the moment!
They witnessed a miracle and saw Li Chenan's great pioneering work with their own eyes.
Amu's Adam's apple twitched twice, his expression was still cool, but his heart was equally surprised.
Just then, a few more people came into the yard.
At the front is a woman in a beautiful long dress, behind her are her maidservants, some are holding umbrellas and some are playing fans.
She is Zhongli Ruoshui's mother, Zhongli's wife Rong Yiyin!
She heard cheers from the gazebo.
She frowned and looked up, and said two words "absurd!"
She quickened her pace and came to the gazebo, Li Chenan and others noticed her coming.
There was a sudden silence here.
"How decent!"
Rong Yiyin scolded, "Men and women gathered here, what does it look like?"
"The servant girls don't have any rules, this is the main courtyard of the lady, can you servants come in at will?!"
"And you...!"
She looked at Li Chen'an, and was about to speak a lesson, but she didn't expect Zhongli Ruoshui to speak.
"Mother, it's grandma's idea that Chen'an lives here!"
"Besides, they came here at my invitation!"
"By the way, this hot lady is probably thirsty here, my daughter invites you to taste the freshly made ice..."
She looked at Li Chenan, "What's this called?"
Li Chenan grinned, "Iced herbal tea."
"Yes, yes, iced herbal tea, mother, you should try it first!"
Saying this, Zhongli Ruoshui picked up the jar that had been taken out, got a bowl of herbal tea, and handed it to her mother.
Rong Yiyin has seen the large and small basins on the table at this moment, and naturally also saw the small basin of ice...
Suspicion suddenly arose in her heart, because this thing can only be seen in the palace at this season!
Could it be that the daughter brought it out from the palace?
Zhongli Ruoshui seemed to see her doubts, he grinned and looked proud, "Chen'an just conjured this up, the bowl in your hand is very cold, mother, try it first, he said it can clear away heat and detoxify." heat!"
Rong Yiyin was startled immediately, and she realized that the bowl she was holding was very ice, which felt very comfortable, but this Li Chenan...how could he turn into ice in this summer?
She took a sip of this iced herbal tea, and a refreshing icy taste flowed down her throat, as if the heat in her body disappeared in an instant, and the sweat all over her body seemed to subside in an instant.
This feeling is really comfortable!
So, she gulped down the bowl of herbal tea, as if she still had more to say.
She glared at Li Chenan, then looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Your grandma told you to come over!"
"Okay, then I'll take this herbal tea and the ice basin with me!"
"Leave some for you to taste!"
