Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 207 Emperor Shihuang gave the highest praise!

"So, how is the ice powder made?" Zhao Si looked at the ice cream in the bucket and fell into deep thought.

"In this era, Daqin doesn't have ice fans..."

"Then burn the fairy grass..." Zhao Si sighed.

"But burning fairy grass requires drying the grass..."

Zhao Si knows how to burn fairy grass, and he has done it before, and he can tell it apart in the wild, after all, he is playing outdoor sports.

"Let's just get some tortoise paste first." Zhao Si pondered for a moment.

Burning grass jelly milk tea will definitely not be available for a while.

After all, raw materials need to be dried.

But tortoise jelly can also solve urgent needs!
Moreover, Guiling Jelly nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, reduces fire and relieves restlessness, clears damp and heat, cools blood and detoxifies.

Served with smoothie milk, it is suitable for taking in such hot and dry weather.

Garnish with some crushed hawthorn, but also invigorate the spleen and appetizer.

The main raw material of tortoise jelly is relatively easy to get. The main material of this thing is tortoise shell, although it is not necessarily easy to catch this thing for a while.

but!

In the pre-Qin period, it was very popular to use turtle shells for divination.

There are so many people in the accompanying convoy, it's easy to get some turtle shells out.

Moreover, tortoise shells can be used as medicine, and Xia Wuqiu, as an accompanying doctor, must have a certain amount of reserves on his side.

After thinking about it, Zhao Si still went to find Xia Wuqie.

It always feels a bit weird to cook tortoise jelly with tortoise shells used for divination.

"Turtle shell? Yes, there is." Xia Wuqie nodded.

"What do you use the tortoise shell for?" Xia Wuqiu asked as he looked at Zhao Si who kept hugging the tortoise shell in his arms.

"Your Majesty is suffering from the scorching heat, and you have lost your appetite. I plan to get you some iced tortoise jelly for your majesty." Zhao Si said.

"Where did you get the ice? What is Guiling Jelly?" Xia Wuqiu was stunned for a moment.

Xia Wuqiu of course knew about Shihuang’s loss of appetite due to the scorching heat, and he also prescribed some prescriptions for invigorating the spleen, appetizing, eliminating fire and reducing noise. However, the weather problem could not be alleviated. It doesn't help either.

Not to mention the First Emperor, even Xia Wuqiu is a bit sluggish in the heat, this year's weather is particularly weird...

"I made it myself. By the way, the tortoise shell is a medicine. Please Dr. Xia give me some herbal medicine that invigorates the spleen, appetizers, fire and noise reduction. Don't taste too bad. I plan to make some appetizers for Your Majesty." The snacks are not for your majesty's medicine." Zhao Si said.

"Medicine?" Xia Wuqie's eyes lit up.

"That's it!"

Xia Wuqiu stroked his gray beard, thoughtfully, turned around and went back into the frame, after a while, he took out a bunch of miscellaneous herbs from inside.

Zhao Si recognized some of them.

There are honeysuckle, banlangen, and some unknown...

"A piece of these tastes good..." Zhao Si asked.

"It's not bad. Since it's a medicinal diet, it must have both taste and medicinal properties. I haven't taken any bad-tasting herbs." Xia Wuqie smiled.

He is not a fool, Zhao Si has already emphasized that the herbs he takes out are those that are boiled and taste relatively light, without too much miscellaneous smell, while having a certain medicinal effect, the smell is not strong, and can be used to the greatest extent. does not affect the chef's performance.

"But you can't use those spices!" Xia Wuqiu warned.

"How come... I made desserts, Dr. Xia might as well follow along to see." Zhao Si said.

If memory serves me right, this Guiling Jelly is also an excellent traditional Chinese medicine.

"If it's a dessert, you can also add honey. Honey nourishes the lungs and reduces dryness, and it can invigorate the spleen and whet the appetite." Xia Wuqie said.

After all, he is an old Chinese doctor who is famous in history, not so rigid, not a person who insists on prescriptions, Xia Wuqi has a great interest in the turtle jelly mentioned by Zhao Si.

These herbs are added with tortoise shells, and the medicinal effect is no problem. It is a good medicinal diet for reducing dryness, removing fire, invigorating the spleen and appetizing.

But the taste... Xia Wuqi probably is just average.

It's not that he hasn't made medicinal food, and Chinese medicine doesn't have to be bitter. He is an imperial physician, and sometimes he has to consider whether the first emperor can eat the medicine he made himself.

He has quite a lot of experience in medicinal food, and he can roughly know what these things taste like when they are cooked in a pot.

It's not unpalatable, but it's not delicious either.

Zhao Si nodded and didn't say any more, took Xia Wu and prepared the food and started cooking directly.

Guiling jelly is not difficult to make, it is the same principle as pork skin jelly, but it takes more time.

Various herbs and the liquid boiled from turtle shells are filtered and mixed, and water starch is added.

Cool to set.

Fresh tortoise jelly has made a new appearance in this era.

Zhao Si tasted it, and it tasted good, mainly because of the good taste.

Sprinkle honey milk on the outside later, and add smoothie for a town, it is absolutely perfect.

"Not bad! The taste is very good! This is a good recipe!"

Xia Wuqiu is a whore for free. The method of making Guiling Jelly, the taste is above average, mainly because the taste is very good.

With the addition of hawthorn crushed smoothie honey, it tastes surprisingly good.

"Ah... iced tortoise jelly! Finished!"

It is much easier to use ready-made ice, and the first emperor no longer has to worry about the scorching heat.

Because the raw material is soil nitrate, soil nitrate is really not very precious in this era.

Give full play to the subjective initiative of the accompanying drivers, and it is no problem to cool down with an ice cube.

If it is not possible, you can also notify the villages along the way in advance to organize the people to collect soil salt and present it to the First Emperor. It is not difficult, and it will waste an hour or two at most.

"This thing is a good thing. The nitrate collected along the way can't be wasted. Like this kind of strategic item, it can't be used to make ice and popularize among the people. When summer is over, all the nitrate collected along the way must be saved!"

It is really overkill to use nitrate to make ice.

However, there is no prospect of making other things, but it is always good to store them. It is not that simple to make nitrate in ancient times. This thing will be a strategic resource in the future.

"By the way, the aqueous solution of nitrate should be able to be re-precipitated by crystallization. Unfortunately, I didn't remember this at all... Qiu Huo doesn't know when it will pass, how much nitrate will be wasted..." Zhao Si sighed, only hating himself I didn't read well at that time.

It is still too wasteful to simply use it to make ice.

……

On the other side, inside the frame.

The first emperor sat in the driver's seat, looking at today's healthy meal, but still had no appetite.

Even though it was already dark and there was no hot sun, the air was still very stuffy.

This is a normal phenomenon, and it often takes a rain to go from the sweltering heat of summer to the crispness of autumn.

And now, the rain is accumulating.

The accompanying stargazer concluded that within half a month, there would be a heavy rain, but these ten days were extremely difficult for Shi Huangdi.

It's hot and stuffy!
There is no ice storage in the vicinity of the key, so Emperor Shi Huang couldn't use the ice mirror even if he wanted to.

Two maidservants next to him were waving palm-leaf fans to keep cool for the first emperor, but the first emperor felt that the wind from the palm-leaf fans was dull.

The recipe made by Zhao Si was already unpalatable, and it will be even more unpalatable in this kind of weather.

The fruits from Shamshui Town are also boring...

The first emperor missed the time when ice mirrors were available.

He wants to be cool, thoroughly cool!Instead of coming out of Shamshui Town, there is only a trace of coolness.

It's a pity that manpower can't go against the season to make ice out of thin air under such circumstances, and Emperor Shihuang couldn't eat iced food.

"Take it away..." Shi Huang reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls but waved his hands helplessly.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat, but that he really can't eat it.

Even with Zhao Si as a partner, he couldn't eat it.

It was thanks to Zhao Si being able to entertain a little while accompanying him, otherwise Shi Huang estimated that he would be bored now.

"His Majesty!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhao Si's voice from outside the drive, Shi Huang's sleepy mood eased a bit, and he raised his spirits.

"The minister is here to deliver ice to His Majesty!"

Just after responding, Zhao Si got in with ease, and a smile appeared on Emperor Shihuang's face, this kid always did this, he always gave people a feeling of carelessness in everything he did.

and many more……

ice?
Where did the ice come from!

The First Emperor suddenly realized what Zhao Si said just now, before he had time to read it carefully, he felt a puff of cold air hit his face, and when he took a closer look, it turned out that it was Zhao Si who was already holding a big round ice cube together. to near.

Putting the cylindrical ice cubes taken out of the two buckets into place, Zhao Si took out the smoothie turtle jelly from the frozen food box.

"The weather is hot these days, and your Majesty lacks appetite. This is a snack specially made by the minister. Let's taste it a little to see if it suits your taste." Zhao Si put the tortoise jelly on the table.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Si waved his hand, took the cattail fan from the handmaid's hand and said, "I'll come!"

The maid was already used to it. When Zhao Si was around, he even grabbed the maid's job of fanning. This was the default of the first emperor.

The maid handed the cattail fan to Zhao Si and withdrew silently.

Zhao Si rushed to the side of the ice and shook the cattail fan.

Cold wind!

Real cold wind!
cool!Really cool!
The First Emperor even shuddered!

The refreshing comfort rushed over, making Shi Huang even narrow his eyes.

Now, nothing is more important than enjoying the coolness.

Half-closed his eyes, with the cold wind blowing, Shi Huang only felt that the sleepiness and boredom on his body were also blown away by Zhao Si's fan.

It wasn't until the coolness soaked through the whole body little by little, and swept away the exhaustion in his mind, that Emperor Shihuang opened his eyes and looked at the Guiling Jelly in front of him.

Without too much hesitation, he picked up the spoon, dug lightly, brought smoothies, crushed hawthorn, honey, and milk, and put them in his mouth.

The feeling of Q bomb is the most explosive in the mouth, the faint herbal aroma of Guiling jelly, the sourness of hawthorn, the sweetness of milk and honey, and the coolness of smoothie infiltrating the mouth.

Swallowing it in one gulp, this wonderful feeling crossed the throat from the tip of the tongue, fell into the abdomen, and spread to the whole body.

"good!"

The first emperor gave the highest praise!
