After time-traveling, the farming female supporting role turned over with cannon fodder and salted f

Chapter 76
The people outside were stunned. They were so hot that they were sweating profusely. They kept swallowing their saliva when they saw the ice cream exuding cold smoke.

Xiao Ning raised the corners of his mouth when he saw those wolf-like eyes outside.

"Old Song, did you see it?" She murmured in a low voice.

Song Ading stroked his beard, and couldn't hide his smile: "Of course I saw it, how can I not see a business opportunity."

If you want to do business and make money, you have to open up the common people.Only serving officials is flattering, and this ingenious thought is wasted in vain.

Xiao Ning wrote down the formula with a pen, and launched these three new products for the time being.In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will develop different flavors such as strawberry flavor and taro flavor.There are so many modern ice creams and popsicles, and the research and development every day is enough for several years.

Then re-wrote the original recipe.

"The royal chefs can take this recipe. During this summer, I can give it to the emperor to eat more to cool off the heat." Xiao Ning wrote down the recipe given to the emperor, and also gave two or three different variations. .

The imperial chef took over the paper with the formula written on it as if receiving an imperial edict, treasured it in his sleeve, and clasped his fists, saying: "Miss Xiao has mastered such a unique skill, and she doesn't care about the details, and she hands it over. We really admire this kind of mind." Ah, if it were them, with such a unique skill to make a fortune, they would have quit the hard, tiring, and risky job of the imperial chef long ago.

"You guys are being polite, the emperor is a benevolent ruler of the world, and his longevity and well-being are also the blessings of the common people." Xiao Ning said his words neither humble nor overbearing, and he couldn't find any faults.

The imperial cooks expressed their admiration again, exchanged a few pleasantries, and returned to the palace with the secret recipe in their hands.

After they left, Xiao Ning handed over the three recipes to the cooks of the Song Family Restaurant. While they were amazed, they began to explore how to make ice cream.

After all, the chef is a professional, he learns things very quickly, and makes perfect ice cream with almost no failures.

Just when Xiao Ning thought he was done, a problem arose.

This shaved ice-style ice cream uses a lot of ingredients, and the cost is not low.Moreover, it is very difficult to store ice cubes this summer, and the cost is a bit higher.If it is expensive, the common people cannot afford it, and if it is cheap, it will lose money.

For a moment, most of the excitement in Xiao Ning's heart dissipated.

The ice-making technology in ancient times was very backward, and only rich and noble families could afford ice.Only Shen Shaojie and the emperor could condense the spring water of Tianshan Mountain into ice and transport it back to Kyoto from afar.For the rest of them, let alone eating ice, meeting them is as difficult as reaching the sky.

For several days, Xiao Ning did not think of a good solution.Feeling depressed, she simply gave herself a day's rest and handed over the restaurant to Lao Song to take care of.

She lay on the window sill, looking at the floating clouds that were constantly floating in the sky.I don't know if the thinking in my mind is too deep, the clusters of condensed clouds look like big chunks of ice no matter how you look at it.

In the study, Si Ruiyan looked at the pool of ice scum on the table with cold eyes.

"Second Miss made this for you herself. She said that the Fourth Prince is just recovering and cannot stand the heat, so she specially made this thing for you to cool off." The servant bowed his head and replied.

Si Ruiyan was silent and hesitated for a moment before picking up the spoon, scooping up the ice scum and putting it into his mouth.His throat moved slightly, and his eyes also moved slightly.

"It's too sweet, but not refreshing enough." Si Ruiyan whispered, picked up the plate and walked towards Xiao Ning's room.

Xiao Ning didn't turn her head when she heard the footsteps, she knew that only Si Ruiyan would look for her in the Song residence.The bookstore has been handed over to Rou Niang to take care of it, and it is going on in an orderly manner until now, so he doesn't have much to ask.

This trip, nine times out of ten, is because of Xiao Wanying's affairs.

"This item is novel, but the restaurant probably won't be able to sell it." Si Ruiyan put the cold plate on the window sill.

Xiao Ning's side face felt a burst of coolness, he glanced at his mouth, still lying on the window sill, and whispered: "Ask knowingly."

As for business, although Si Rui's words did not make sense.But for his views on things, he can always speak confidentially.The cost of ice cubes and ingredients, as soon as he thought about it, he knew that it was too extravagant for ordinary people.

"Have you ever thought about using other things to add a sense of frost?" Si Ruiyan poked the ice scum with a spoon, and these things can be replaced.

Xiao Ning sighed weakly: "I've thought about it, but the ice water can't melt in the mouth, and the taste has dropped a lot. If I really use ice water instead, it's like sending the good ones to the palace and selling the bad ones." For the common people, the reputation of the Song Family Restaurant will be ruined."

She didn't want the new idea that she finally came up with to become a stone that hit her in the foot.

She has already thought about it these few days, and if it really doesn't work, she will sell it at the original price.Anyway, there are quite a few rich people in the restaurant, and three or two ordinary people can get a meal with their own money.

After all, this ice cream is not the main course, and not many people order it.

Anyway, this ice cream has been appreciated by the emperor and the royal chef, and it will definitely receive a lot of dividends when it is launched in the initial stage.

As for how to operate in the future, let nature take its course.

Xiao Ning thought for a long time before realizing that the people around him were silent.

A taciturn person will not take the initiative to speak, only others will take the initiative to talk to him.

Xiao Ning raised his eyes, but saw Si Ruiyan looking at him with a cold look, the eyes were as calm as a lake, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts.

"It's fine, why did you tell me about this?" Xiao Ning glanced at the shaved ice ice cream on the side.

Although this thing is novel, it is definitely not something that Si Ruiyan would be interested in.Either he doesn't like to eat it, or he eats it silently.This brought the whole plate over, and said something like cost, what does this mean?
"Unique things exist in the world, but they are extremely rare. I happen to know one thing that can replace ice cubes. As long as you use this thing, it is guaranteed that your dishes will not lose any coolness and refreshing taste." Si Rui said the ice slag Raise it up and let the crystal objects fall to form a beautiful picture.

Xiao Ning quickly sat up straight, with anticipation in his eyes: "What is it?"

Si Ruiyan, who is well-informed, would never lie to her about this kind of thing. If it can replace the refreshing taste of ice cubes and be a little cheaper, there will be no hindrance to the launch of this new ice cream item.

"Icegrass." Si Ruiyan whispered softly, "I got a book many years ago called "Mocao Ji", which specifically records precious herbs. It says that a blind medicine is called Icegrass. It can make all the meridians unblocked, and not be afraid of the scorching heat. The nature and taste are very cold, and it is specially used to treat heat syndrome."

There are tens of thousands of herbs in the world, and human beings may not find enough.

These words sound absurd, but Xiao Ning's eyes are already cold: "Where is this kind of ice grass to be picked? If it is a herb that grows on the mountain, then she only needs to pay the labor fee for collecting the herb, which is comparable to ice grass." Blocks cost less.

"It's on Yufeng Mountain in the north." Si Ruiyan looked at a mountain in the distance, surrounded by green smoke, like the sky where immortals live.

Yufeng Mountain seems to be far away from Kyoto, but in fact it can be reached by riding a horse for half a day.The mountain peak is shrouded in smoke, because the mountain rises straight up, like a fish standing between the sky and the earth, so it is named Yufeng Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain is as high as [-] meters. If you don't wear fur clothes, you are in danger of freezing to death.

The ice grass grows in that kind of extremely cold place.

"I have drawn the picture of the herbal medicine. You can find someone who understands medicine to pick it for you. If you send it in a horse-drawn carriage, it will take two days to go back and forth. If you want to do business so much to make money, you must not be reluctant Spend a lot of money to hire people." Si Ruiyan flipped his wrist, and there was a neatly folded piece of rice paper about three inches in size between his two fingers.
