Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 123 Ice Making
"Brother Chu is right." Jiang Zhixia nodded, "The Marquis of Cheng'en also stopped working because of your status. The engagement will be terminated immediately, and maybe they will do it secretly. At that time, I guess I will even find you There is no chance for the censor to file a complaint."

It seems that this engagement will have to last for a while.

"However, does Brother Chu know why Liu Wenli forced me to be his concubine?" Jiang Zhixia asked again in doubt.

Although, the matter of Liu Wenli wanting to take her as a concubine by force was over.However, without knowing the reason, Jiang Zhixia was still a little uneasy.I always feel that things should be solved fundamentally.

"This, at the moment... I don't know yet."

Chu Tiankuo said hesitantly.Indeed, there is no definite reason yet.

However, Chu Tiankuo deduced from the information collected by his subordinates that it might have something to do with Zhixia's jewelry patterns.

However, before there is a clear verification, talking about it will only increase Zhixia's troubles.

He has secretly arranged for someone to investigate, and after finding out the reason, he can always solve it.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo also said that he didn't know the reason, Jiang Zhixia was fine.Anyway, the problem is temporarily solved, and we will talk about the future.

Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil.Jiang Zhixia thought so.

Then, she wanted to give Chu Tiankuo a thank you gift that she had been thinking about for a long time.So, he tugged at Chu Tiankuo's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Brother Chu, come with me."

Chu Tiankuo didn't know why, but he still obediently followed Jiang Zhixia out of the reception hall.

However, Jiang Zhixia didn't stop walking, and pulled him through the corner door and walked towards the backyard.She also stopped Xiaoman who was about to follow.Because Jiang Zhixia and Chu Tiankuo were already engaged, although Xiaoman was surprised, she still obediently stopped.

Chu Tiankuo was more and more surprised as he walked with her. When he reached the stone table in the middle of the yard, he stopped immediately.

"Zhixia, this is?" He asked in surprise.

Going further, it is Zhixia's boudoir.Last time, he was in a hurry, he went in once, and that's all.However, after he came out last time, he regretted that he was Meng Lang.

This time, there is nothing urgent.

"I have a very important prescription for you." Jiang Zhixia said to Chu Tiankuo quietly with a smile.

"Going in will be your boudoir, is it suitable?" Chu Tiankuo asked hesitantly.

He naturally hopes to go in in his heart, but if he really goes in, will it be bad for Zhixia's reputation?
"?" Jiang Zhixia had a question mark on his face.

Chu Tiankuo looked up at the principal room, then at her.

Jiang Zhixia followed him with his eyes and understood what he meant.

"It's not my boudoir. I won't let you into my bedroom. Let's go to the small study next to it. Besides, didn't you come last time?"

In Jiang Zhixia's understanding, the bedroom is the boudoir.In previous lives, there were cases where men and women rented a house together, but they had different bedrooms.

Of course, when this dynasty comes, you still have to abide by the rules of this dynasty.

However, this matter is really important, and she feels that it is not safe enough to say it anywhere.

After hearing this, Chu Tiankuo lowered his head and secretly smiled.

Did Zhixia accept herself unconsciously?Last time, when she came to talk to Zhixia because she had inquired about the shop, she still regretted letting herself into her backyard.Now, they all took the initiative to let him into the main room.

If Jiang Zhixia knew about Chu Tiankuo's idea, he would sneer and say, You're thinking too much.

Naturally, he won't refuse the cheap Chu Tiankuo.So, he followed Jiang Zhixia into the small study.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the wide-open windows of the small study, then went to put down the brackets, closed and fastened the main room, and put down the partition curtain.

Like this, she still seemed uneasy, she stood on tiptoe and approached Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo's face was blushing and his heart was pounding because of Jiang Zhixia's series of actions, and he was thinking wildly.

He was afraid that Jiang Zhixia would notice it, so he lowered his head desperately.

Jiang Zhixia whispered in Chu Tiankuo's ear, "Brother Chu, let me tell you a recipe that will make you a lot of money. Now you have the loyal prince as your backing, let's see how to do this business."

Chu Tiankuo was so dazed by the scent lingering around him, he didn't notice what she said at all, he just nodded instinctively.

"Ice can be made by dissolving saltpeter in water." Jiang Zhixia said in a soft, mosquito-like voice.

Chu Tiankuo was just intoxicated by Jiang Zhixia's active approach at first, but when he realized what she said, he immediately turned his head to look at her.His pupils dilated involuntarily from shock.

Jiang Zhixia saw the shock on Chu Tiankuo's face, and nodded calmly.

Chu Tiankuo slowly reflected what Jiang Zhixia said.

Jiang Zhixia took out a small bag, which contained a small piece of saltpeter that she had sneaked to the shop before.

She pulled Chu Tiankuo to squat down, and then put the saltpeter into a basin of water on the ground.Then, visible to the naked eye, the basin of water turned into cold ice cubes.

Chu Tiankuo stared wide-eyed, watching all this in disbelief.

Nowadays, ice from the Dali Dynasty is still very expensive.Moreover, the official sales office is only the government.

In winter, the government arranged for government servants to collect thick ice cubes and store them in ice cellars inlaid with blue bricks deep underground.In the summer, it will be sold out.

Of course, honorable ministers or wealthy families of big families can also build icehouses in their own homes.Naturally, there is no need to go to the government to buy it.

And those ordinary people who can't afford to build an ice cellar, or those who don't have time to build an ice cellar, and those who are extremely mobile like merchants, naturally need to go to the government to buy them.

However, the storage capacity of the official ice cellar is limited after all, so the price of ice is relatively expensive.

As for saltpeter, there have been many of them since ancient times.There are not many uses for saltpeter, and it is mainly used by Taoist priests to practice elixir, so the price of saltpeter is extremely low.

It was so cheap that when Jiang Zhixia went to buy this piece of saltpeter this time, the clerk in the grocery store took a long time to find it, and finally gave it to her as a gift.

Using cheap saltpeter and water to make expensive ice is naturally a huge profit.

Chu Tiankuo finally understood why Zhixia sent everyone away and dragged him into the backyard.

It became clearer why Zhixia closed the windows, fastened the door, put down the gauze curtain, and squatted on the ground so that no one could see or hear anything.

Who wouldn't be crazy about such a lucrative recipe?

"Where did you get this prescription?" Chu Tiankuo asked seriously.

Jiang Zhixia was a little startled.

Chu Tiankuo's coldness and seriousness, when she first met, she had naturally experienced it.

However, at some point, Chu Tiankuo in front of her was just like an ordinary person.Can talk, laugh, speak softly, and be considerate.

Now, seeing Chu Tiankuo like this suddenly, she was unavoidably surprised.

"This is..." Jiang Zhixia hesitated, not knowing what to say.

The fact that saltpeter can form ice when dissolved in water was almost known in previous lives.Therefore, she really never thought about making up a history for this prescription.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia's faltering reluctance to speak out, thinking that Zhixia still didn't trust him enough, his eyes dimmed, but he stopped asking.

　First of all, thank you for your support!
　　Thank you for your recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, evaluation tickets, rewards and hope to subscribe.

　　Second, repeat the old adage!Overhead dynasty, refused to be elegant.

　　Again, three more today.

　　In the end, even if it is unreasonable, it is all for the plot.Just ignore it, just ignore it.
