Great Tang Southern Emperor

It was Concubine Yan's eyes that were good. Seeing that Li Zhen was confident, she quickly said softly: "Zhen'er, if you have any good ideas, tell them quickly."

As soon as Concubine Yan reminded her, Li Shimin also asked: "Good Zhen'er, if you have any solution, please tell me, it is related to the people's livelihood in the world."

"Okay, I'll just demonstrate once."

Li Zhen demonstrated again, put a small basin in a large basin, and there was water in both basins, put the saltpeter into the large basin, soon, solid ice formed in both basins, Li Zhen pointed out Looking at the ice in the small basin, he said: "Father, in this way, the ice in the small basin is clean and can be used, and the ice in the big basin should not be discarded. When the ice in it turns into water again, the water in it will dry up." Saltpeter can be reused, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, it really is wonderful."

Li Shimin left contentedly, while Li Zhen was gnawed by Concubine Yan a few times, then was hugged and ravaged fiercely, finally broke free from Concubine Yan's hands, Li Zhen said: "Why is Concubine Mother so happy?"

Concubine Yan took it for granted: "Before Zhen'er was crowned king, she already had a fief of two hundred households. The concubine mother is of course happy. You should know that ordinary nobles don't have so many."

"Two hundred households?" Li Zhen asked in surprise, "Isn't it twenty households?"

"Pfft!" Concubine Yan was delighted when she heard it: "So Zhen'er, you thought it was twenty households?"

"That's right, so the child thinks that the father is stingy. With such a good ice-making method, he actually only granted land to twenty households." Li Zhen was also happy after speaking, but I don't blame others, who told Li Shimin not to say anything , I have to use my fingers to make gestures, who can be blamed for such a big oolong now?

"Okay, let's not talk about this, concubine mother, the weather is so hot today, my child treats you to shaved ice." He called Linglong (Li Zhen's current court lady who specializes in cooking) over and instructed her to make shaved ice.Shaved ice is actually a high-end cold drink made by shaved ice cubes into snowflakes, topped with condensed milk, syrup, and various fruits or other ingredients.It tastes delicate, melts into slag at the entrance, does not contain much sugar, and has a particularly good cooling effect, and you will not feel full if you eat more.Authentic "shaved ice" is made by shaving ice cubes into snowflakes, and the ice slag in "shaved ice" will seriously affect the taste.Shaved ice is a kind of colorful snow ice formed by shaving ice cubes into fine smoothies, and then adding various dried fruits, fruits, milk, juice, etc.There are many types, easy to make, and various flavors can be prepared at will.

Under Li Zhen's guidance, Linglong scraped the ice into snowflakes bit by bit with a knife, and Xiao Fuzi had already brought the syrup and chopped fruit over.Seeing that everything was ready, Li Zhen put the snowflakes into a bowl, poured the syrup on top, put the fruit pieces on it and gave it to Concubine Yan: "Concubine Mother, please taste it."

"Thank you Zhen'er, you can eat first." Concubine Yan lovingly touched Li Zhen's head, and moved the shaved ice to Li Zhen's side.

"Mother Concubine, let's eat together." Li Zhen scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Concubine Yan's mouth. Concubine Yan was moved and took a sip from the spoon, "It's really delicious."

Li Zhendao: "It's a pity that there is no condensed milk. It would be better if there is condensed milk." Making condensed milk requires vacuum equipment or other methods to remove the moisture in the milk, but no matter what the method is, it cannot be made in the Tang Dynasty.

"That's pretty good. Concubine Mother is already very satisfied." Concubine Yan was very happy.

"What are you eating? Both of you are so happy?" Li Zhen was really speechless to Li Shimin and his wife, why do they like to come in quietly?Is this tradition?Why don't you have this hobby?

"I've seen the queen (mother's queen)." It was the empress Changsun who came, and beside her was the future Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi, who was still a kid now.

"Get up, what are you eating?"

In this case, Concubine Yan's answer is the most appropriate: "Sister Qi, Queen, we are eating shaved ice."

It happened that Linglong made another bowl of shaved ice, and Concubine Yan presented it to the Changsun family.Changsun took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "Well, yes, it's really suitable to eat this in summer."

"Is this Zhen'er's idea again?" The eldest grandson asked after taking another sip.

"It is the child's idea to tell the mother."

"That's right, it really is a person who has received the inheritance of the gods." The eldest grandson touched Li Zhen's forehead: "Okay, I'll talk to your mother and concubine, and you can take the young slave to play."

"Yes, my son will leave." Li Zhen bowed again, and watched Li Zhi, who was shaved ice, go to the side hall with long eyes.

As soon as he came to the side hall, Li Zhi pulled Li Zhen and pointed at the shaved ice and said, "Brother Huang, I want to eat that too."

Li Zhen said: "The shaved ice is too cold, it's not good for children to eat it."

Li Zhen did not lie, the shaved ice is too cold, it is really not good for children to eat it.

"But I saw you eat it too." Looking at the colorful shaved ice, Li Zhi's saliva almost flowed down.

"But I just took a bite."

"Then let me have a bite, too?" Li Zhi looked eager.

Li Zhen reasoned: "There is only one mouthful, you can't say it to the queen mother and concubine mother."

"Hmm! I will never say anything." Li Zhi patted his chest and promised.

I took a bowl of shaved ice from Linglong, sprinkled it with syrup and fruit, and fed it to Li Zhi: "Wow! It's really delicious!"

"Hush!" Li Zhen quickly covered Li Zhi's mouth, "Hush your voice."

"" Li Zhi just remembered and nodded quickly, but seeing his excitement, it was obviously the first time he had done such a thing.

"Brother Huang, can I have another bite?" After taking a bite, Li Zhi wanted to eat even more.

"No, manly man, one mouthful is one mouthful." Li Zhen vetoed it flatly, children really shouldn't eat too much of this, it will easily cause diarrhea.

"Oh." Li Zhi was obviously a little disappointed.

"Although I can't eat shaved ice, I can eat other things." Li Zhen suddenly remembered something, which was already prepared and delivered in the morning, and now it's time to experiment with it.

Chapter 6 Juicer

Chapter 6 Juicer

Taking Li Zhi to his bedroom, the thing was in a corner, it was a simple juicer.

This juicer was finished yesterday and delivered this morning.It is said to be a juice extractor, but its structure is actually very simple. A few bamboo tubes act as a fluid channel, a steel plate full of small holes acts as a primary filter, a few sheets of gauze serve as a secondary filter, and finally there are a few pieces of silk as the third filter. stage filtration, there is also a steel barrel for fruit, a steel plate with a leather sheath as the pressure part, and a lever with a small mechanism on the outside.As long as the wooden pole is pressed down, the pressure part will be pressed down, and the fruit in the iron bucket will be under pressure, and the juice inside will flow to the next layer along the bamboo tube connected to the iron bucket, and then pass through the three-layer filter Filter and what comes out is the juice.Everything else is easy to say about this thing, the only disadvantage is that it is laborious, extremely laborious, anyway, I am a prince, and there are many people around me.

Li Zhi walked around the juicer twice, and asked a little suspiciously: "Brother Huang, is this weird thing a juicer? Can you squeeze juice out of it?"

"Of course, don't underestimate it. I designed it myself." Li Zhen looked at the juicer in front of her, feeling quite complacent. This was her first invention in this world. It doesn't look like much to later generations, but it is still very advanced in this era.

Li Zhi had a face full of admiration: "Brother Huang is indeed a person who has received the inheritance of the gods, and he can even make such a powerful thing."

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed after hearing Li Zhi's words: "Young slave is really flattering, hahaha"

"Brother Huang, how do you make juice for this?" Li Zhi shook the lever and asked.

Li Zhen said: "Let me demonstrate to you, little Fuzi."

"Your Highness." The little follower, Xiao Fuzi, appeared immediately.

"Bring some fruit, and find two more people."

"Yes." Li Zhen was very satisfied with the efficiency of Xiao Fuzi's work, and threw the peeled pears into pieces into the iron bucket: "Xiao Anzi, Xiao Mozi, you two press down this wooden pole hard."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Anzi and Xiao Mozi were very moved. They didn't expect His Highness to remember their own name. It was so touching.Not to mention, I must do my best to complete what His Highness ordered, in order to repay His Highness's kindness.Then Li Zhen saw the two little eunuchs desperately pressing down on the wooden pole, and was very satisfied with the two little eunuchs, and decided to promote them if they had the opportunity in the future.

"Brother Huang, you can see it." Seeing that the juice really flowed out, Li Zhi excitedly shook Li Zhen and shouted.

"Let me take a look." Li Zhen also turned her gaze to the cup below, and sure enough, a little juice has already flowed out. Looking at the color, it is clear and thorough, without any impurities. It seems that the effect of the three-stage filter designed by myself is not bad.With the efforts of Xiao Anzi and Xiao Mozi, the cup was soon half full.

After mixing water one by one, Li Zhen poured a little for Li Zhi: "How about a taste?"

I also took a small sip, smacked my lips, not very satisfied: "It's a little sour."

"It tastes like pears." Li Zhi liked it very much.

"Wait a minute, I'll try adding some honey." Li Zhen stopped Li Zhidao who wanted to drink it all in one go.
