Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Miss, the iced watermelon is here!"

In Fan Mansion, Lian'er held up the iced watermelon with excitement and placed it in front of Li Qingzhao. Now that Fan Mansion was no longer short of ice, naturally all kinds of iced food began to appear.

Li Qingzhao picked up a piece and took a sip. It was immediately sweet and delicious, and the summer heat was greatly relieved.

"Husband, I want to eat smoothie!"

After Li Qingzhao finished eating the watermelon, he still felt unfinished.

"No! The water produced in the ice making workshop is well water. Although it has been filtered, it is not absolutely clean. It is like drinking cold water and may cause diarrhea." Fan Zheng shook his head immediately.

As a doctor, he naturally knew that the well water was cold in nature. Although it was drinkable, Li Qingzhao was still pregnant, so he was naturally extra cautious and could not drink cold water easily.

"No! I don't want you?"

Li Qingzhao was immediately discouraged. As a pregnant woman, although she was usually knowledgeable and polite, her mood fluctuated greatly during pregnancy.

"Uncle, the smoothies on the street use well water, which is not suitable for pregnant women. Then why don't I use cold boiled water to make ice with saltpeter, and then make smoothies? Wouldn't it be safer?" Lian'er thought.

As Li Qingzhao's maid, she had learned some knowledge at Fan Mansion, so she naturally had a good understanding of high-temperature disinfection methods.

Fan Zheng glanced at Lian'er unexpectedly and said: "What Lian'er said is indeed a method, but just eating ice is too boring. I want to make more delicious and safe ice drinks for my wife."

"Seriously?" Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng dubiously. Fan Zheng could write eternal masterpieces and cure eternal terminal diseases. However, if Fan Zheng could make ice drinks, this made her quite doubtful.

Fan Zheng said dotingly: "When did I ever lie to you? Besides, making ice in summer was my invention. What does it mean to make some ice drinks?"

Li Qingzhao was greatly moved. She couldn't help but believe in Fan Zheng's magic all the time.

Fan Zheng immediately ordered Lian'er: "Go get some eggs and milk sugar."

Although milk is a scarce thing, now that Li Qingzhao is pregnant, there is no shortage of these things in Fan's house. Soon, Lian'er brought these things one by one.

"Husband, what is this?" Li Qingzhao asked puzzledly. Ordinary iced drinks are just some ice cubes, or some fruits are added as a luxury product, but Fan Zheng actually uses milk and eggs. How to eat them in ice.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "Madam, don't worry, what I made for you is ice cream, I guarantee it will be something you will never forget."

Under Fan Zheng's command, Lian'er left the eggs yellow, added sugar, and then milk. After stirring thoroughly, she simmered over low heat until it became slightly sticky.

"Remember that eggs and milk cannot be eaten raw, otherwise you will easily get sick!" Fan Zheng reminded again and again.

"Don't worry, uncle, Lian'er has remembered it!" Lian'er nodded heartily.

"Put these into the mold later, freeze them for two hours according to the ice making method, and this is ice cream." Fan Zheng said loudly.

Lian'er nodded and immediately went to the ice cellar to freeze it using the ice making method.

"My husband seems to be interested in teaching Lian'er how to make ice cream. Could it be that my husband has changed his mind and wants to take her as his wife."

After Lian'er left, Li Qingzhao took a liking to her, and she quickly noticed Fan Zheng's abnormality.

Lian'er was her maid. According to the original plan, she was to accompany her in marriage and serve as a maidservant to Fan Zheng. Now she is pregnant and will not be able to serve Fan Zheng for a while. When using Lian'er.

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhao felt very uncomfortable. Although this situation was the most common situation in the Song Dynasty, and she and Lian'er were also sisters, when Li Qingzhao thought of this, he felt very irritable and even the ice basin radiated Even the cold air cannot calm his mind.

"What are you thinking? My husband is lucky enough to marry you. Apart from you, there will never be another woman!" Fan Zheng nodded Li Qingzhao's nose and said jokingly,

He and Li Qingzhao have been married for many years, so he naturally knows Li Qingzhao's little thoughts.

"Then why are you so abnormal to Lian'er?"

Fan Zheng explained: "Lian'er has been in my Fan Mansion for several years. She can't continue to be a maid in Fan Mansion. It's time to find a way out for her. I'm going to let Lian'er leave the house and let her get married on her own. But Lian'er A child has no father or mother, so you and I are Lian'er's natal family, so naturally we have to prepare a dowry for him."

But now that she and Fan Zhengqing are stronger than Jin Jian, they can't tolerate other women at all. Naturally, Lian'er is no longer needed. It's time for Lian'er to start a family and get married.

"And this so-called ice cream is the dowry given to Lian'er by your husband?" Li Qingzhao said knowingly.

"That's right! Lian'er has no ability to make a living. With the recipe of making ice cream, it is enough to establish a foothold in Kaifeng City." Fan Zheng nodded.

Li Qingzhao nodded. The Song Dynasty was very protective of women's dowry. If Lian'er used this ice cream formula, it would be enough to live a prosperous life in the future.

"My husband, being able to marry you is my greatest blessing!" Li Qingzhao said emotionally.

"Then how does the lady repay her husband?" Fan Zheng said with a smile.

Li Qingzhao's face turned red with embarrassment, but he bravely embraced Fan Zheng's arms.

At that moment, the curtain fell again, and the cicadas outside the room kept chirping.

........................

Soon, two hours passed by in a hurry.

"Miss and uncle, the ice cream is ready!" Lian'er knocked on the door and said with a slightly red face.

"Send it in!"

After a long time, Fan Zheng said loudly.

Lian'er then opened the door, brought in the cool mold, and placed it in front of the young lady with slightly disheveled hair.

Fan Zheng opened the mold and saw that the creamy yellow ice cream had been completely formed.

"This is ice cream!" Li Qingzhao said lazily.

"Yes, with this product, I believe you will never want to eat so-called smoothies again."

At that moment, Fan Zheng picked up the spoon, divided the ice cream into three parts, and handed one portion to Li Qingzhao and Lian'er respectively.

Li Qingzhao couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's really delicious! Much better than smoothies?"

Lian'er praised him repeatedly and ate it with great pleasure.

Fan Zheng gestured slightly, and Li Qingzhao understood and said, "Do you think Lian'er thinks you can make money if this thing is sold in Kaifeng City?"

"Of course, this is much more delicious than ice powder, and if you eat too much ice powder, you will get upset. This is what Lian'er has gone through and has been sterilized by high temperature." Lian'er said without hesitation.

"How about leaving this business to you?" Fan Zheng asked.

"Give it to me?" Lian'er was stunned and looked at Fan Zheng in confusion.

"Don't dislike merchants. Now the imperial court is planning to establish merchants. The status of merchants will definitely increase greatly in the future, at least they will no longer be humble." Fan Zheng assured.

"But Lian'er doesn't want to leave Miss!"

Lian'er never thought that one day she would leave the young lady. This decision was too sudden for her.

"Lian'er, you have been with me for many years, and now it's time to get married. My husband wants to give you this ice cream recipe as a dowry." Li Qingzhao said sadly.

"I..." Lian'er suddenly burst into tears.

"Think about it. The Ministry of Commerce is about to be established, and ice-making workshops have just become popular. If you run ice cream, you will definitely make a lot of money. Besides, you also know the formula for making ice and ice cream." Fan Zheng reminded.
