After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

Jiang Sheng took Lu Wenzhou's arm and walked forward

"May I ask, sir..."

The handsome young man turned around, and Jiang Sheng was shocked.

“Ruan, Ruan, Ruan Baizhi!”

Jiang Sheng looked her up and down

"Why are you dressed like this?"

Ruan Baizhi smiled freely

"My family opened a new route in Lingbei last year, and we are still doing the medicinal materials business. We were lacking a manager before, and my second brother was supposed to go there, but now it's my turn."

"Your parents finally gave in?"

Ruan Baizhi nodded slightly

“Well, my parents love me, but they also really like Sanqi. In their eyes, Sanqi is their other son. They probably pity Sanqi and me the most.

Furthermore, although my father is a businessman, he is not an ungrateful person. "

Over the years, if it weren't for the Liu family, the Ruan family's business would not have been able to reach this level. The Liu family suffered, and the cancellation of the engagement made her parents feel guilty. It was not so much that her persistence softened their hearts, but rather that they agreed because of their uneasy conscience.

Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the result was good.

"When are you leaving?"

"We'll set off today."

"So urgent?"

Ruan Baizhi looked towards Lingbei and murmured

"I missed him."

Then she looked at Jiang Sheng and Lu Wenzhou and whispered

"Shengsheng, see you later."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Have a safe journey, Baizhi."

Ruan Baizhi nodded slightly, said nothing, and turned and left.

Jiang Sheng was somewhat disappointed. Lu Wenzhou looked at her.

"What's wrong? Lovers finally get married, why don't you seem happy?"

Jiang Sheng whispered

"Baizhi has finally taken this step, I'm afraid she won't get what she wants."

My brother is a man of principles and bottom line. Given her current status, I'm afraid she won't be with Bai Zhi.

He had already thought it through when he returned the jade pendant to Bai Zhi.

Lu Wenzhou put his arm around her shoulders and whispered

"If a girl pursues a boy, it's easy. If Liu Sanqi really likes her, he won't have the heart to watch her wait in vain."

When it comes to love, all principles and bottom lines will probably change.

"Don't worry. Although marriage is destined by heaven, I believe that everything depends on human effort. You have to believe in Miss Ruan's determination."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"I never realized before that you are so good at comforting people."

Lu Wenzhou held her hand and walked back

"Let's go. We're going to make some fresh food."

Jiang Sheng was instantly diverted from the topic

"I almost forgot. Oh, can you ask someone to buy some saltpeter for me?"

"What are you buying saltpeter for?"

"Cooking food, stop asking so many questions, just go quickly."

"Okay, okay, okay, Big Yang and Second Yang, you two go buy some saltpeter."

"Yes, son."

"Yes, son."

Although it is autumn now, the heat is still very severe, especially at noon, when people feel very irritable.

There was also an ice cellar in the general's mansion, but most of the ice stored last winter was used up in midsummer, and the remaining ice was not enough, so naturally the grandparents had to worry about it.

Jiang Sheng had seen in a documentary the method of using saltpeter to make ice and then cold drinks, so she planned to make some today to help them relieve their anxiety.

The milk in the mansion is all fresh, and honey and fruits are also readily available. As long as edible ice is made, it will be fine.

Big Yang and Second Yang had been with Lu Wenzhou for many years and were very efficient. Soon they came back with several bags of saltpeter.

"Master, Madam, we bought all the saltpeter from the nearby pharmacy."

Jiang Sheng took the saltpeter

"Thank you for your hard work. You can try my cooking later."

After saying that, she put the saltpeter into a large basin that had been prepared long ago, in which were placed several small earthenware jars.

The ice was filled with cold boiled water that Jiang Sheng had just poured in. It was Jiang Sheng's first time practicing this and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the time well, so he didn't dare put in too much water for fear that the ice would come out slowly.

"Shengsheng, what's next?"

"Then just wait."

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too long, and a thin layer of frost began to form on the outside of the earthen jar.

Da Yang and Er Yang said excitedly

"Young Madam, it's really starting to freeze!"

Lu Wenzhou's expression changed slightly. If this recipe was released to the outside world, who knows what kind of sensation it would cause. However, his little wife was completely unaware of it and only used it to make cold drinks.

I don't know if it's because I was too defenseless against him, or because I had too many good things in my hands and didn't care about them.

However, I have to say that the feeling of being trusted by her wholeheartedly is really good.

Lu Wenzhou winked at Dayang, who understood and went to guard the door.

Seeing that the ice was about to be served, Jiang Sheng started to prepare the other ingredients.

"Nanzhu, go get the green plum juice I made earlier."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yingqiu, go prepare some watermelon and grapefruit for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yuzhu, check if there are any Hu fruits in the house."

"Miss, do you want the yellow or green Hu Guo?"

"Yellow, right?"

This Hu fruit was tributed from foreign countries in the past. At that time, many wealthy families transplanted a lot of it.

I thought it would taste good, but it turned out to be terribly sour. Fortunately, it bore many fruits, which was a good sign for many children and grandchildren, otherwise it would have been uprooted.

She had also seen in a documentary that this kind of fruit also existed in later generations, but was called differently. Later generations called it lemon, which sounded better than the name they gave it.

After everything was prepared and the ice was almost ready, Jiang Sheng started to make cold drinks.

Everyone looked at Jiang Sheng, who was like a magician, making a cup after a while. Soon he made many cups of cold drinks. Jiang Sheng introduced them one by one.

"This is green plum drink, this is watermelon juice, this is lemonade, and this is honey grapefruit. Try them first and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

Several people picked up a cup and took a few sips. Yuzhu's eyes lit up.

"Oh my god, this is so delicious! It's much better than the ones sold in drink shops."

Da Yang and Er Yang drank it up in just a few sips, proving with their actions that this thing tasted good.

Jiang Sheng opened her bright almond eyes and looked at Lu Wenzhou.

"Azhou, is it delicious?"

Lu Wenzhou took a sip

“It tastes good, not too sweet, and very refreshing.”

Jiang Sheng was overjoyed

"Then I'll make more and let grandparents have a taste."

Cups of cold drinks were brought to various courtyards and received a lot of praise.

Especially Lu Zhiqing, Lu Wenli, and Lu Wenshang. Lu Zhiqing and Lu Wenshang almost praised Jiang Sheng to the sky, just to have a few more drinks.

Li Ling was worthy of her business background. After just a few drinks, she wanted to find Jiang Sheng to do business together and asked her to provide the recipe for making ice.

However, the method of making ice with saltpeter is too time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. It is fine to drink it at home, but it would be uneconomical if you opened a shop to make ice.

There are no saltpeter mines near the capital, and all the saltpeter they use today has to be sourced from other cities, which has increased the cost by more than 10%.

Moreover, the production of honey is not high. With the shortage of these two most important things, it will be difficult for this store to continue.

Jiang Sheng analyzed the pros and cons for Li Ling, and the hot-headed Li Ling finally calmed down.
