Chapter 48 Ice Cream
The second wife suffered a loss from Mrs. Li, and the fourth aunt also gave Li Jing a hard lesson. Since then, he never dared to bully Dong Qi again.

And since that day, there has been a rumor in ethnology that after Li Jing was chased and bitten by a dog that day, he went around wearing pants with his butt exposed, and many people saw his naked butt appearance. There are many big girls and little daughter-in-laws, and he instantly became the object of ridicule in the ethnology, and the students of the ethnology even nicknamed him-Naked Butt.

Li Jing was embarrassed to go to the ethnology school for several days, and was beaten up again by his fourth aunt, so he reluctantly went to the ethnology school, but he was no longer as arrogant as before, and seemed to be low-key like It was a different person, and those brothers and sisters who used to play well with him also gradually alienated him.

On the contrary, Dong Qi has gradually gained a firm foothold in the ethnology. He is already smart, and deliberately made friends with some children from the Li family with a good family background. Naturally, it is getting better and better, and no one dares to underestimate him anymore.

Soon it was the end of June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even if you don't do anything on weekdays, you can sweat hot just sitting.

Even in such weather, Jiang Shanqing still has to learn kung fu with Liu Dali every day. More than half a month has passed, and he is still doing the horse stance, but now he can stand still for a quarter of an hour. It's a lot of progress.

"Okay, it's too hot today, go sit and rest for a while." Liu Dali saw that Jiang Shanqing had been stuck motionless for a while, and asked him to rest on the porch.

"Master, I can still persist."

Jiang Shanqing's face was flushed, but he refused with an unchanged expression. At this moment, his head and face were covered with sweat, and the single clothes on his body were also soaked in sweat, but he remained stubbornly motionless.

Liu Dali looked at the kid in front of him who was not as tall as his thighs, and felt very emotional in his heart. Jiang Shanqing was the most resilient kid he had ever seen. If it wasn't for his weak body, he would really be a good seed for martial arts, but with his With a lot of perseverance, he will definitely surpass him in his achievements in martial arts training in the future.

After another cup of tea, Jiang Shanqing's legs were already trembling, so Liu Dali persuaded him to rest.

Li Meier, who had been watching Jiang Shanqing's practice in the corridor, ran over quickly, handed over a small porcelain bowl in her hand, and said courteously, "Brother Shanqing, drink mung bean soup, I've already cooled it for you."

Jiang Shanqing looked at Li Meier's obsequious smile, but didn't take the bowl, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want me to do again?"

Li Meier grinned, put the bowl into Jiang Shanqing's hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shanqing, what's that 'ice cheese' you made last time, can you do it again? I have invited Li Yuan to play at home tomorrow, and I want to take that Entertain her."

Jiang Shanqing finished the bowl of mung bean soup in one breath, feeling the heat dissipated, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that grandma will say you wasted eggs and sugar?"

At this time, sugar was still relatively rare, and it was not the fine white granulated sugar like the modern one, but brown sugar with turbid crystals, but even that kind of brown sugar was not cheap.

"Don't be afraid, let's send some to grandma when we're done. Although she doesn't say anything, she loves this very much. You didn't see her eating three bowls by herself last time. If it wasn't for fear of eating too much cold food I have a stomachache, I'm afraid I can eat a few more bowls." Li Meier replied with a sly smile.

"That's all right, you go and get things ready first, and I'll help you get them when I'm done here." Jiang Shanqing wanted to eat ice cream himself, so he readily agreed.

Li Meier responded immediately, and ran away excitedly.

After returning to the room, she first brought a basin of goat milk.This goat milk is produced by the sheep raised by her family. The sheep were brought to the town from the countryside by her maternal grandfather. At first, they were just a few lambs. Later, the sheep grew up and gave birth to lambs. Xu Mrs. Jiang asked Mrs. Jiang to take two of them to Li's house.

At that time, Mrs. Li was still very rare. She had to drink a bowl of goat milk every morning, but if this thing was not added with other ingredients, it would be very fishy to drink. Only Mrs. Li drank it alone in the whole family, and she drank it naturally Not much, there will be a lot of goat milk left every day, Mrs. Li is afraid of wasting it, so she uses it to wash her hands and face, but it makes her old face a lot fairer, Jiang sees the effect is good, so she will occasionally use goat milk to wash her face .

When Li Meier was just born, Jiang's mother's milk was not enough, and she had been given goat's milk for a while. These two goats were considered great contributors to the Li family.

Seeing Li Meier bring the goat milk, Mrs. Jiang also guessed what she was going to do, and couldn't help but said: "Take it easy, how much do you have to make for such a big bowl, I know that your grandmother is like guarding against thieves." Beware of you, how many eggs and sugar do you have to make?"

"It's okay!" Li Mei'er wiped the sweat off her face and said with a grin, "I said hello to Nanny Lin, and she brought me eggs and sugar. I didn't just eat it myself, but I still wanted to honor my grandmother. Is it?"

"I think it's because you're greedy, and you can't fill your stomach after eating this stuff, just trying to make something new." Mrs. Jiang took a handkerchief to wipe Li Meier's sweat, and said helplessly.

"Mother, do you think we can sell this thing for money?" Li Meier suddenly had a whim, looking at Jiang Shi and asked.

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then slowly said: "This ice cream is a bit like the ice cream sold in restaurants. Although I have never eaten that ice cream, it should taste similar to this, but that ice cream can be sold. It’s expensive, it’s said that a small bowl costs two hundred Wen, which is more than enough for an ordinary family’s daily expenses.”

"Mom, I think that ice cream is definitely not as good as this ice cream." Li Meier said very firmly.

She is not talking nonsense, because she had eaten ice cream in her previous life. At that time, the situation of her family was much better than now. When the weather is extremely hot in summer, Li Yan would sometimes buy some back. I always eat it in small bites. At that time, I thought it was the most delicious food in the world. Now it seems that I have never seen anything in the market.Look at Jiang Laogui, he can easily make ice cream that is much tastier than that ice cream.

Mrs. Jiang didn't take her words seriously, but began to think carefully about her proposal. The ingredients for making ice cream are not expensive, the goat milk is home-produced, the eggs are about two cents each, and sugar is the most expensive That's right, it costs 150 Wen a catty, but a catty of sugar can make a big pot of ice cream, even if a bowl sells for [-] Wen, it is still a profitable business.
