People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 99
Li Tai asked, "Just rely on your mung bean soup? You still want to sell mung bean soup to sky-high prices."

Of course, mung bean soup cannot be sold for sky-high prices. Even a bowl of ice-cold mung-bean soup may not be bought at sky-high prices.

In one day, Jingyang recruited more than 7000 people, almost exhausting the labor force in the entire Chang'an area.

Li Zheng came to the back of Jingyang, and a carload of saltpeter was pulled into the village.

There are few woodlands around Chang'an, so it is easy to mine saltpeter.

Before the saltpeter was used, there was still a lot of this stuff.

In this era, the people who use saltpeter are probably those Taoist priests who make alchemy.

Crack the saltpeter and pour it all into buckets.

Look at some thin ice that has condensed out of the water.

The villagers just saw that saltpeter can turn water into ice, which is like magic.

But this kind of thing happened in front of him.

Even an ordinary person can do it.

The villagers asked Li Daxiong, "This is what your son learned in the book?"

Li Daxiong nodded suspiciously in life, "Maybe it is."

In fact, Li Daxiong is also very suspicious, where did this kid learn his skills.

It's okay to do it once or twice, the growth of that kid in the past six months is too great.

It's true that you can learn something by reading.

Can you learn this by reading?Really suspicious.

Li Daxiong looked at the blue sky and whispered: "My son, is it because you have a spirit in the sky?"

Sun Simiao had been busy all day, and many people suffering from heat stroke were lying in the hospital.

After working, Sun Simiao took a sip of mung bean soup.

I have to say that it is a great joy in life to have a sip of iced mung bean soup in summer.

Seeing that some villagers went out with bags of ice, Sun Simiao asked, "What are you doing out with ice?"

The villagers stopped and explained: "Shen Shen doctor, the county magistrate said that he would take the ice and sell it for [-] cents a pound.

"Five to five points?"

"Actually, this is the ice that the county magistrate taught us to make. We just need to earn some money for running errands."

Sun Simiao nodded and affirmed Li Zheng's character.

He has his own way of making money, and he does not forget to take care of the village.

Indeed a good boy.

Sun Simiao sighed: "It's a pity that such a child does not become his own disciple."

The villager added: "Zheng'er is indeed a good boy and has been sensible since he was a child, but he said that this ice cannot be eaten."

Sun Simiao returned to Li Zheng's house and saw Li Zheng who was counting the money and asked, "How did you make ice?"

Li Zhengyiwen continued and said, "Secret recipe."

Looking at Li Zheng suspiciously, Sun Simiao said again: "Pindao heard that you let the villagers transport a lot of saltpeter?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Saltpeter is indeed one of the secret recipes."

Sun Simiao said: "It is recorded in the medical classics that saltpeter is pungent, bitter, warm, non-toxic, and can even be used as medicine. This is the first time Pindao heard that saltpeter can make ice."

Saltpeter is indeed non-toxic, but eating too much can cause stomach upsets.

After packing up the money, Li Zheng also put away the account book and said to Sun Simiao, "Shen Shen doctor, in fact, the children in the lower village are also very good, why don't you accept Daniel as your apprentice."

"If you promise to be a disciple of the poor Daoist, it's not a big deal if you accept it as well."

It seems that Sun Simiao is determined to accept himself as a disciple.

Li Zheng said again: "The melon that Sun Shenyi forced to twist is not sweet."

Sun Simiao said melancholy: "Although you have a little melon, but you are still young and can learn slowly."

Old people are stubborn when they get older.

The heat was unbearable, and there were many fewer passersby on the streets of Chang'an City.

The villagers of Jingyang entered Chang'an with ice.

It broke the original silence of Chang'an.

Immediately, the people of Chang'an came to rush to buy ice.

Thirty cents a pound of ice is really rare in this season.

On weekdays, the price of ice has always been high.

It is very rare that money can buy a piece of ice.

Now [-] yuan can buy a pound! ?

When did ice become so cheap?

To survive this sweltering summer, it is impossible without ice.

Many wealthy people in Chang'an even go to some mountains and forests to escape the summer heat.

But also can not eat a mouthful of ice.

Cheng Yaojin was sitting at home, sweating profusely, listening to his son in a single shirt.

"Thirty cents a pound of ice? Is there such a good thing?" Cheng Yaojin was a little impatient with the heat.

Cheng Chumo put a package of ice in front of Cheng Yaojin and said, "Old man, you can quickly make a drink and have a cool drink. If you turn the money, it will be wasted."

Cheng Yaojin grabbed a handful of ice and put it in his mouth to chew.

quack...quack...quack...

"It's really ice!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin picked up another handful and put it in his mouth and said, "Thirty cents a pound, right, go buy [-] catties first."

Li Shimin was sweating down to review the memorial, and the eunuch who was fanning with a fan had already changed several times.

The maid of the Lizheng Hall said, "Your Majesty, the Queen said that there is not much Tibetan ice left, so should I save a little?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a while and said, "Then save a little."

The palace maid added: "There are ice cream sellers in Chang'an now. The queen said if she wants to buy some."

Of course, there are people who hide ice in the market, but ice is too expensive this season.

Li Shimin added: "I'm afraid the price is not low."

The eunuch came to report and said: "Your Majesty, General Cheng sent a hundred catties of ice here, saying that it is to relieve the heat of your Majesty."

Li Shimin wiped his forehead and said, "Really? Then send it to the Lizheng Hall."

Another eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Duke Yi also sent a hundred catties of ice."

Li Shimin was puzzled, and Cheng Yaojin was fine.

Everyone knew that the Cheng family made a lot of money by running a spirits workshop.

Qin Qiong's life was not rich, where did he get [-] catties of ice.

Could it be that Qin Qiong also has Tibetan ice?
Jingyang
Li Zheng dug a pond by the Jingyang River. After filling it with water, he poured buckets of saltpeter into the pond.

Li Taipao said enjoying himself in the pool: "It's really comfortable, Li Zheng, you can really enjoy it."

Feeling the cold water, Li Zheng took a sip of mung bean soup.

Cheng Chumo came on a horse, "Li Zheng! I knew it was you who did it."

After he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo saw a pool of ice water, stripped his own, and jumped into the pool.

After fluttering in the ice water for a while, Cheng Chumo said, "It's cool!"

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng and said, "Tell me, how much did you earn just selling ice this day?"

"Not too much, not too much, just over 7000."

Cheng Chumo stammered in surprise, "You, Li Zheng, earn [-] kuai a day!"

As the weather heats up, spirits don't sell well either.

Even in the peak season, you can earn a hundred or so a day, and a thousand is a good price.

Li Zhengguang earned [-] kuai in one day selling ice.
