Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

This is an imaginary dynasty.

According to records, the ice-making method was invented by gunpowder craftsmen in the late Tang Dynasty.

After many observations and inquiries, she confirmed that there was no such method of making ice in the Dali Dynasty.

Because she wanted to treat ice, she also learned that saltpeter, also known as flame saltpeter, is easily soluble in water. When heated to more than 300 degrees, it will decompose and release oxygen. Industrially, it is a raw material for making matches, gunpowder, and glass.

So...if Xiao Chenyi needs gunpowder, maybe you can help him find a way to make it?

Not only that, in the 18th century, Sweden also discovered that saltpeter could be used to make fertilizer and be used in agriculture. Ancient agriculture was the biggest foundation. Therefore, if fertilizers can be introduced appropriately to increase farmland output, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people.

After testing the method of making ice, Xiao Chenyi happily took out a pen and paper to record it, and also discussed with Yun Xi to see where further corrections were needed.

"Are you going to show it in the court?" Yun Xi looked at him and asked.

"Yes." Xiao Chenyi nodded, "But we have to wait half a month."

For big things, he still hopes to take the initiative in his own hands, and then the royal family.

Yun Xi smiled: "You want to make the first batch of ice yourself?"

"Well, at the same time, we will purchase all the saltpeter in the country first." Xiao Chenyi said with a smile, "Then we will make the method of making ice known to the public. Then, we can make a small profit from the saltpeter."

Yun Xi gave him a thumbs up: "As expected of a prince."

She felt that there was no need to use her brain when it came to making money.

Mrs. Duan's many properties are running smoothly, which is enough to keep her busy and spend enough.

but……

Who would mind having too much money?

"Give me half of the money you earn from saltpeter." Yun Xi tilted her chin and ordered proudly.

Without her, Xiao Chenyi wouldn't be able to earn a cent.

She felt comfortable making this money.

Xiao Chenyi pinched her cheek funny: "What's mine is yours. Point..."

Before she finished speaking, Yun Xi became anxious: "No, hurry up and write it down in black and white!"

What's mine is yours?

This is a quote from a scumbag! How many women have been deceived by this sentence and are so useless?

Although she came here, she always felt that she was a rootless duckweed. She didn't implement things in place, and she felt uneasy.

Xiao Chenyi clenched his fist at the corner of his mouth, trembling with laughter: "Little girl, you are so anxious that you don't even listen to what is said!"

"Okay." Seeing her jumping around in a hurry, he couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he took a pen and paper and wrote it down.

Yun Xi watched carefully from the side, for fear of making any mistakes.

but……

"You give me 80%?" She pointed at the words on it in surprise.

Isn't it a typo?

If you want to fight for the throne, shouldn't you need a lot of money?

You gave me too much, what should you do?

Xiao Chenyi reached out and patted her forehead: "Of course! I am your husband, and I belong to you."

If he didn't need some funds just in case, he wouldn't take 10% of the profits.

Yun Xi blushed and lowered her head and smiled.

Xiao Chenyi's boyfriend power is pretty good.

To be honest, she quite likes this domineering CEO style.

As soon as she felt happy, Yun Xi became active.

"Wait for me." After saying that, she lifted up her skirt, turned around and ran away happily.

Xiao Chenyi looked at her back, shook his head and went to the study with a smile.

There are a lot of things to deal with. I have been with her for so long today, so I have to hurry up. Arrangements for making ice must also be made.

Yun Xi went to the kitchen.

There are history books in the space, which record that people in the Song Dynasty would also make fruit into pectin and put it together with ice, which is somewhat similar to smoothies.

There were two major types of cold drinks in the Song Dynasty, namely cooked water and thirsty water.

The persistence process of thirsty water is complicated. Find a bunch of fresh and juicy fruits, wash them, peel them, remove the cores, leaving only the juice and pulp, boil them into thick jam, filter them once, filter out the residue, and continue to boil them until they are After all the water is boiled away, there is only a large lump of pectin left in the pot, a thick, translucent substance that can be pulled out into filaments.

Take the pectin out, put it into a small porcelain jar, and seal it tightly. Whenever you want a cold drink, just scoop a little out of the small porcelain jar and mix it evenly with ice water to get thirsty water.

Making cooked water is easy. When people in the Song Dynasty made cooked water, they took out bamboo leaves, rice leaves, or orange leaves, dried them, put them in a pot and stir-fried them for a while, then covered the pot and simmered for a while, took out the leaves and threw them away, and then added some sugar, and finally water into earthen jars and hoisted into deep wells.

This drink is healthy, cool, and has a light, natural flavor.

The weather hasn't started to get hot yet, but Xiao Chenyi is young and strong, and has been unable to get relief, so he must be very angry. It is also good to let him eat some ice to relieve his anger.

This way, if you want some cold drinks later, your servants won't be surprised.

Of course it was good to make pectin, but it was too time-consuming and she didn't want to stay in a hot kitchen for a long time.

I took out the fruits, apples and strawberries, and simply cut them into small pieces.

Then mash the ice cubes, mix them with the chopped fruit, and sprinkle with crushed white sugar.

A bowl of tempting fruit smoothie is ready in no time.

Yun Xi wiped the sweat on the tip of her nose, put the smoothie in the food box, picked it up and left.

The cook next to her had extremely hot eyes: "Princess, what is this? Can this slave learn to make it?"

It looks great!

Don’t know what it tastes like? With so much sugar, it must be delicious, right?

"This is for the princess to eat, don't touch anything." Xiao Yezi scolded from the side.

Do you think she doesn't know? As a cook, who wouldn’t take advantage of the owner’s attention and get a taste of it in the name of tasting it?

The lady hasn't even taken a bite of such delicious food, and she's already trying to take advantage of it?

How can anything in the world be so cheap!

Yun Xi stopped with a smile.

Little Leaf Protector, of course she knows.

However, the cook couldn't make smoothie without ice.

But she had to ask the cook to make the pectin.

You can mix it with ice water and eat it anytime you want.

Listening to Yun Xi's instructions, the cook kept nodding.

It’s a new trick again.

The princess’s understanding of eating is really admirable!

Of course, as the cook of the General's Mansion, she knew what could and could not be said to others. Her whole family is in the house, and her master is the prince, so what else could she be dissatisfied with?

He opened the door of the study room, playfully placed the fruit smoothie in front of Xiao Chenyi, took a spoon and put it in his hand: "Prince, please!"

Xiao Chenyi looked at the bright food in front of him, feeling the coldness of the ice cubes.

He looked at Yun Xi in surprise again: "Eat?"

"Hmm! Don't you dare to eat?" Yun Xi tilted her head playfully.

Immediately, she picked up another spoon and took a bite first.

"Hey!" Xiao Chenyi stretched out his hand to stop it, but Yun Xi had already eaten it.

He couldn't help but frown: "Can ice made of saltpeter be eaten?"

The uses of saltpeter he knew were never related to eating.
