Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 52 Datang's First Artificial Ice Factory
In their consciousness, ice is a natural product of winter, how can they get it in midsummer?

It's really ridiculous.

Li Zhi chuckled, "This world is far crazier than you imagined!"

Not much nonsense, the raw materials are all available, let's experiment first and then talk!
It can be said that the whole house has been transformed into a factory, and the water pump will automatically spit out water when the water pump is pressed.

The inner furnace is filled to the brim, not to overflowing, the volume of water will expand when it freezes, so it cannot be absolutely filled.

To leave a position above the furnace mouth.

Then there is the outer furnace. After the water is put in, pour in the nitrate powder.

There are still a lot of impurities in these nitrous powders, but it doesn't matter, as they are used again and again, the impurities can be removed.

Yes, after the nitrate powder reacts with water, it can be extracted again, that is to say, it can be reused!

In terms of ice production alone, Li Zhi really doesn't need a whole mountain of minerals, and he really can't use them up.

But nitrate has other effects.

Close the oven door and all that's left is to wait.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Those outside the furnace could hear the sound of boiling water reacting violently.

This sounds like a process of heating with wood fire, can you really get ice cubes?

Sure enough, I am still skeptical!
Only Li Zhi is still confident, the heat from the inner furnace is sucked into the outer furnace, and boiling is a matter of course.

Because this device is too huge, after waiting for nearly half an hour, several people walked up to the second floor.

Ready to lift the lid to see what's inside.

"Ah!" At this moment, Hu Ling suddenly yelled.

The three of them thought something was wrong, but turned their heads to see that she was fine.

"What are you doing?!"

Hu Ling said, "I, I'm nervous..."

Li Zhi glared at her, nervous ass!He directly opened the furnace cover.

"釭~"

When the thin metal furnace cover was opened, a gust of freezing white cold mist rushed out from the gap.

Can't see the actual situation inside the furnace.

But as soon as the lid was lifted, the whole room was several degrees cold, and it was covered with ice and fog for a while.

Needless to say, I know the result!
Soon, it became clear that the inner furnace was originally water, but it turned into ice at this time!

On the second floor, except for Li Zhi, everyone else was shocked and their faces changed color.

Seeing this process with my own eyes, I feel that it is no different from the fairy method of turning stone into gold.

Hu Ling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He is also a child. Why is he so good?

Li Zhi squatted down and poked the ice cube with his little finger.

"Ah."

He smiled with satisfaction, "It's very hard, and the ice cube has been successfully made."

Su Lie immediately came back to his senses, looked at Li Zhi seriously and shouted, "Your Highness, you know how to use magic!"

Li Yu'er also looked at Xiao Li Zhi next to him with bright eyes.

Is this magic? !

Li Zhi curled his lips amusedly, Su Lie, Su Lie, you can really talk.

He blinked his big eyes triumphantly, and said to Su Lie, "That's no accident, you will see more immortal arts from me in the future!"

At this time, there was a movement from the system——
[Bear kid took a small step, but it was a giant leap for the times!You got an [Automatic Coke Machine]! 】

[You have obtained specialty points +5]

"Coke?!" Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

He misses the frozen fat house water in midsummer so much, can he still drink it when he comes to Datang?

If it wasn't that the venue was not suitable, he would immediately take it out of the system warehouse, just pair it with freshly made ice cubes, and have three "drinks"!
Of course it won't work now...

Now that things are done here, Li Zhi told Sister Yu'er that he could find some people to officially set up the ice factory.

Li Yu'er said, "Manpower is not a problem at all. There are too many unemployed people in Chang'an who are struggling. The jugglers will catch a lot of them. The problem is that the government does not allow private gatherings. Once they are found out, the punishment will be very strict."

A feudal dynasty is a feudal dynasty after all, businessmen are not allowed to open factories, and even people are not allowed to gather.

In this era, businessmen didn't talk about opening factories, they were only responsible for buying and selling.

But Li Zhi wants to open up the world!
He proudly waved his big, no, small hand, although the hand is small, it is full of momentum!

"Even if you look for someone, if the government dares to come and make trouble, just report my name!"

Li Yu'er was happy to hear this, and said lightly, "Okay."

At this time, Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Su Lie, Su Lie's heart trembled, and he immediately understood,

"Your Highness, don't worry, I won't tell His Majesty about these trivial matters..."

Li Zhi snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I mean, you can report it if you want. I am aboveboard. Who am I afraid of?"

Well, he is a man who is not afraid of death, Su Lie plans to report this matter when he returns to the palace!
Li Zhi glanced at Hu Ling again, since he began to leak his domineering aura, this little girl has been sluggish, and now she doesn't dare to compete with him at all.

Li Zhi said, "After the ice factory has people, there is no need to look at the house."

As soon as the words came out, the little girl Hu Lingqiao's face turned pale, as if she lost all color in an instant.

Li Yu'er frowned with light brows like willow leaves, and gently pulled Li Zhi to step aside.

He whispered, "This girl has only one gambling father in her family. She often disappears for three to five days. If she doesn't have this job, she will probably starve to death. The last time I met by chance, she has been hungry for two days."

Li Zhi was startled, and immediately, his little brows were also frowned, there was such a thing.

"Then she dared to argue with me before, how big is her heart?"

Li Yu'er said, "This girl is optimistic, which is really rare."

Li Zhidao: "But we can't open a charity organization. If she wants to stay, she must be able to do something."

"Your Highness, don't underestimate the children outside. They are seven or eight years old. They can cook, wash, and chop wood. They can do everything."

Li Zhi then had nothing to say, thought for a while and said, "Forget about chopping firewood, let her watch the door, and join the kitchen to help!"

Li Yu'er smiled, she knew that Li Zhi was different from those people, thanked the little highness for Hu Ling, and whispered something next to Hu Ling after returning.

Then Li Zhi could see the girl's twisted expression, the red face looked at him, and she lowered her head again.

……

Li Zhi only constructed a subject, because among the group of chivalrous men Li Yuer knew, there was a legitimate son from a villa who had mastered a set of business methods.

Just leave it to him.

What, so lazy, you can even deliver to someone you don't know at all?
Let's not forget the original purpose of this ice factory.

Li Zhi established this ice factory with only one purpose——to provide him with a large and continuous flow of ice cubes so that he can renovate his air-conditioning room!

As for the rest, he didn't care at all.

As long as the factory's revenue can cover the wages of all the workers, Li Zhi doesn't ask for anything else.

of course,

Thinking this way in my heart, I still have to solemnly say to Sister Yu'er on the surface,
"Although this is just a small factory, it can bring a little bit of coldness to the people in the hot summer. The meaning is quite sacred. You must do a good job!"

Li Yu'er put on a serious expression, "We will do this without you telling me, but I haven't bought this item before, how should I price it..."

Li Zhi said proudly, "Let your chivalrous friends decide, don't ask me!"

Just deliver the ice cubes he asked for to the gate of the imperial city every day.

Li Yu'er sighed in his heart, Li Zhi was not interested in money, and he didn't even want to participate in the pricing!

Sure enough, they have a pure heart, they entrusted the right person!
Since Li Zhi trusts them so much, she is now determined not to let him down, and to give him a satisfactory answer!

When Li Zhi came out this time, the matter was basically completed.

Before leaving, he asked Li Yu'er to send his share of ice to the gate of the imperial city as soon as possible tomorrow, and someone will come to receive it.

Li Yu'er nodded lightly, indicating that she will go to the palace to see Li Zhi after she finishes her work here.

The girl Hu Ling didn't dare to wave goodbye to Li Zhi in the end, obviously she was so "aggressive" at first.

She knew Li Zhi's identity from the very beginning, but after she got in touch with him, she felt inferior. It turned out that the prince is really so much better than ordinary people!
Simply not in the same world.

She didn't even have the courage to say hello.

Of course, this is a misunderstanding, it's just that Li Zhi is particularly prominent...

Walking on the street leading to the imperial city, there was a lot of turbulence all around, and soldiers wearing military armor with serious faces were everywhere.

Li Zhi asked in surprise, "What is this going on, is the whole city arresting spies?"

But Su Lie clearly recognized that these were the imperial guards from the palace, what the hell, why did they come to the city? !
