Chapter 44 Ice Cream (for further reading)
Hearing Zhu San's unreasonable request, Zhu Hao secretly rejoiced... The more you ask, the more likely you are to bring your brother.

"Three pennies a piece? Do you think it's such a coincidence that you find the rabbit every time? I've been in the palace during this time, and it's not so easy to find a rabbit outside the city."

Zhu Hao first showed a look of embarrassment, and seeing Zhu San's face full of disappointment, he added, "But I can think of a way later, why don't you come back tomorrow, and I'll prepare the iced sour plum soup and revolving lantern first."

Zhu Sanxi smiled and said, "It's a deal."

It's a simple discussion. Although it is not sure whether she will find a chance to come out in the future, at least a normal communication channel has been established.

Soon Zhu San offered to leave, mumbling in his mouth: "Only at noon when my husband is away, I can sneak out. It would be bad if someone found out."

Zhu Hao said deliberately: "Why don't you bring your brother over tomorrow..."

"That's not sure, he has been under strict supervision recently, and A Bing and I have not allowed him to play with him several times." Zhu San didn't hide anything, and told the importance that Xing Wangfu attached to Zhu Houcong.

Perhaps because he realized that Prince Xing's son was being closely watched by the court, especially the royal family, the palace consciously strengthened the security of Zhu Houcong.

"If he doesn't come, there are a lot of fun things I can't give you, let alone..."

Zhu Hao deliberately didn't explain the situation clearly, but Zhu San really became interested. She wanted to know what a good thing it was, and her brother had to come.

……

……

Zhu San is eight years old, Zhu Hao is seven years old, and Lu Bing is four years old.

Where did a group of children come from?
Novelty and fun things are more important than anything else!
At noon the next day, Zhu Hao got ready for everything, but when the sun was setting to the west, Zhu San came late, this time without Lu Bing, and the follower behind him became his younger brother Zhu Houcong.

"You brothers are really here?"

Zhu Hao's eyes widened, showing a look of surprise.

Zhu Houcong, with a terrified expression, hurried into the door, then turned around, and pointed to the door to Zhu San who was walking slowly.

Zhu San yelled angrily: "No one followed, let's see how frightened you are? In the past, it was fine to go out to play, and this place still belongs to the territory of the palace. What are you afraid of?"

Zhu Houcong looked dejected: "Third brother, I don't usually have the chance to sneak out, but this time I let Xiao Luzi pretend that I was sleeping under the covers, so that I got what I wanted... Ah yes, Zhu Hao , didn’t you say you want to catch the rabbit? Where is the rabbit?”

When the little guy came, he was most concerned about the rabbit.

Zhu San was the first to say: "There is no rabbit. He said he would find a way to get it later, but he didn't say that there will be one today."

"what!?"

Zhu Houcong instantly felt cheated.

Zhu San had a smug look on his face, as if it was fun to play with his younger brother.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "You guys came just in time. I just made a bowl of ice cream, do you want to try it?"

"What is ice cream?"

The siblings glanced at each other with confused expressions.

"You'll know when you go in."

……

……

Zhu Hao walked in front and brought his siblings into the room. On the Eight Immortals table in the middle was Zhu Hao's ice cream made by using saltpeter to make ice.

Nobody knows how to make cream in this day and age.

Zhu Hao used a mixture of egg whites, salt, vinegar, and sugar, stirred vigorously to whip cream, added it to crushed ice, and then added some sugar and fruit juice to make ice cream that is unique in this era.

Although the taste of this thing is not as delicious as the ice cream produced in the factories of later generations, as long as it is sweet and cold enough, it is a sharp tool to quench your thirst.

For the Zhu family siblings, this is probably a delicacy that is unmatched by any food in the world.

"good to eat!"

Zhu Si was unprepared, rushed forward to pick up the bowl, tasted it with a spoon, his eyes lit up, and he started to eat it.

Zhu Sanben wanted to issue a warning.

Father Wang once said that you can't eat outside food casually. As a sister, she must take the responsibility of supervising, but seeing that her younger brother has already started eating, it seems too disadvantageous if she doesn't eat it. The creamy crushed ice in the bowl was pulled into his mouth.

Soon, the ice cream made by Zhu Hao was eaten by the siblings.

"Any more?"

Zhu San and Zhu Si had butter crumbs on the corners of their mouths, and they stared at Zhu Hao like a resentful woman.

Looking at the empty porcelain bowl, Zhu Hao frowned: "You two are too impolite, aren't you? I made it, and I only ate one bite. I want you to come in and try something new. How about you, eat it all for me?"

Zhu San wiped his mouth with the corner of his sleeve, and said: "What's the matter, the food is made for people to eat... Uh."

Having said that, I hiccupped.

"Third brother, it's really inappropriate for us to do this...how about we give him something, that's fair?" Zhu Si cared about face and didn't want to take advantage of others.

Zhu San scolded: "Are you stupid? He lives in the palace now, eats ours, wears ours, uses ours, makes us a bowl... What's wrong with the ice cream? Hey, Zhu Hao, hurry up and make some more, We haven't had enough yet."

Zhu Hao was unhappy: "It's so easy for you? How do you do without ice? It's hard for a clever wife to cook without rice..."

"Really..."

Zhu San looked like a greedy cat at first glance, and he was much more eager to eat than his younger brother.

At this time, Zhu Si focused on the revolving lanterns. He didn’t come yesterday, but he just heard from his sister about the delicate things of revolving lanterns. Today Zhu Hao brought a new revolving lantern. Four revolving lanterns hung in the air with exquisite patterns. , so ingeniously crafted that he didn't even blink his eyes.

Zhu Hao couldn't help but smile, stepped forward to light the candles in the lantern, and then moved the shell.

Zhu Sixing rushed forward, staring wide-eyed in appreciation.

Zhu Sandao: "Zhu Hao, didn't you agree that if I bring him here, will you show us something?"

Zhu Hao glanced at her: "You guys ate all my ice cream, isn't that a good thing? Zhu Si, don't touch my revolving lantern, if you are not careful, the candle will ignite the silk shell if it falls over."

"Oh."

The siblings had their own thoughts, one was concentrating on watching the carousel, the other was staring at the ice cream bowl, licking his lips from time to time, apparently not getting enough.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and the siblings were nervously preparing to find a place to hide.

"It's okay, someone should have come to get something... I'll go out and deal with it." Zhu Hao signaled Zhu San and Zhu Si to hide for a while, and got up to open the door by himself.

It was a few carpenters who started work and came into the yard to get saws, shovels and other tools. Seeing Zhu Hao waved his hand disapprovingly, signaling him to stand aside, as if he was a warehouse manager. Of course, this manager has no knowledge of tools and raw materials. Jurisdiction, but if such craftsmen want to find tools, they will still ask Zhu Hao to help.

The craftsmen who came this time are very familiar with them, and the leaders are Jian Maoying and Lao Song.

Zhu Hao rolled his eyes, glanced around, leaned up to Lao Song and said, "Uncle Song, the cans of tung oil piled up in the warehouse have leaked, and there is a big pool on the ground. What if there are sparks?"

These words were spoken to Jian Maoying.

"Is it missing? I'll go and see...it really is..." Old Song is a real person, even Zhu Hao, a highly vigilant child in the palace, can talk to him. He deliberately went into the warehouse and found that it was just as Zhu Hao said Word.

Jian Maoying sneered endlessly: "Could it be that you kid didn't have lamp oil at night, so you went to dig a hole to steal oil?"

Zhu Hao said disdainfully: "I have a lot of candles here, who wants to use tung oil?"

Lao Song squatted down to observe carefully, and said: "The bite mark is obvious, it should be gnawed by a mouse... The wooden can itself is not strong, and it is easy to be damaged. It should be removed later. Most of the storage here is wood. Doesn’t Mars catch on at one point?”

"Let's talk when we have time! Work!"

Jian Maoying walked out carrying the wooden ladder, not paying attention.

The carpentry skills of the old Song Dynasty were far better than that of Jianmaozhen, but Jianmaozhen had a higher status among craftsmen and belonged to "administrative personnel".

Since Jian Maoying said to solve the problem later, Lao Song could only give Zhu Hao an apologetic look, and then led him away.

……

……

"Does anyone come here often?"

After everyone had left, Zhu Hao returned to the room, and Zhu San still looked outside with some trepidation.

In her mind, if it was known that she brought her younger brother to Zhu Hao's place to play, it would be a serious crime, and she might be grounded by her father and mother.

Zhu Hao said: "What do you think? I am a warehouse here. Who knows what those craftsmen usually lack, and when they will come suddenly? Even if it is midnight, there is no way to disturb my sleep... You come later, just stay in the If you don't go out of the room, they won't come in to see."

"That's right, who cares about a brat?"

Zhu San didn't take Zhu Hao seriously when he saw it.

The princess has a temper, her eyes are above her head!
"Fourth, we should go. We can't come out for too long. It would be bad if people find out." Zhu San saw that the ice cream was finished, and Zhu Hao couldn't bring out anything better, so he wanted to drag his younger brother away.

Zhu Si quit: "You just came here not long ago, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Hearing the words, Zhu San was going to twist Zhu Si's ear, and said in an old-fashioned way: "If your father finds out that you are coming out, will you have a good life? Zhu Hao, if it's possible... Next time we come, you can make some ice cream."

"Without money, it's not easy to do."

Zhu Hao showed his philistine side.

Zhu San pursed his lips and said, "I know you're a stingy... How about it, I'll ask A Bing to send over a few dozen Wen later, and I won't have any more... Fourth, do you have any money?"

Zhu Si shook his head seriously.

Obviously, the palace has never let Zhu Si get in touch with copper stink, and Zhu San usually sneaks out of the palace, knowing that the money is good, so he knows how to save money.

Zhu Si is not as shrewd as his sister.

"Dozens of texts should be enough, let's go!"

Zhu Hao could see that Zhu San consciously avoided Zhu Houcong getting in touch with him... Maybe it was her sister who realized that she had "bad intentions". Before Zhu San reminded him not to enter the palace, it was also because the people in the palace discussed how to deal with Zhu Hao, she overheard the conversation and sent Lu Bing to remind her.

Knowing that the palace is on guard against Zhu Hao, how could she have no thought at all?Children, one year older will understand a lot more things.

Zhu Hao was not in a hurry to implement his plan immediately.

Getting Zhu San and Zhu Si to come together is already a great achievement, the next step is to find a way to get Zhu Si to come alone...

……

……

Outside the city, the Zhu Family Manor.

Lin Baihu visited late at night.

In front of Zhu Jiashi, Lin Baihu said unceremoniously: "I have inquired clearly and confirmed that your grandson did not enter the inner courtyard of Prince Xing's Mansion, and is now placed in the utility room at the east gate of the Palace. They will be kicked out in time, if the Zhu family wants to spy on the palace, they should find another way."

Zhu Jiashi looked calm and composed, "Impossible, my grandson has inquired about many secret things, if he hadn't entered the inner courtyard of King Xing's Mansion, it would be impossible to obtain so much information."

Lin Baihu said: "Then I have to ask your grandson how did he find out about it. I found out that someone in the palace wanted to do something wrong to him. If you don't pick him up in time, he might disappear out of thin air..." It’s unknown. You can’t see people alive, but you can’t see dead bodies, what a pity!”
