Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 491 Lin'an Wang Family
Wen Shu opened them one by one and saw all kinds of dried flowers. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you very much."

In fact, she didn't really want to boil water for a bath, but to make ice, and the ice she wanted was edible.

Although there was a lake of ice where the Golden Lotus Liquid grew in the Mountain and Sea Realm, she had no idea what the water quality was like there. It would be disastrous if someone drank it and got hurt.

To be on the safe side, she planned to boil water herself and then put it into the "Qianlian Lake" in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The temperature there is low, and cold water will freeze in an hour.

Because the place was not recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, she gave the lake a name herself, "Qianlian Lake."

Before long, the water in the pot began to boil, and Wen Shu scooped the water into a wooden barrel.

She boiled one pot after another, and after an hour, she had boiled more than ten buckets of water.

At this moment, Father Wen wiped his sweat and came in from outside. "The molds have been transported here. They are in the backyard. Let's unload them now. Or..."

Wen Shu hurried out and saw that the backyard door was open and an ox cart was full of wooden molds.

"Let's unload it now, right at the door." Wen Shu called out to the boy pulling the cart and went up to help.

The mold here is used to make small cubes of ice.

She thought that since it had to be put into food, it would be inconvenient and unsightly if it was too big, so she asked her father to go to the wood shop to order some molds.

It doesn't need to be very exquisite, just make it into small grids one by one.

At that time, she would pour the boiled water directly into the mold, and after it cooled into ice, she could pour it out and use it.

After unloading the molds, Wen Shu saw the cart boy walking away, so she carried a dozen molds that were taller than her into the kitchen.

Old Man Wen was stunned at first, then he shook his head and smiled. Just like Wen Shu, he easily moved the remaining seven molds into the kitchen.

After the fixed-point transmission was opened, Wen Shu went to Zhongqu Mountain to pick a lot of Huaimu fruits that could increase strength, and put them in a storage basket for future use.

After that, she and her father ate one every two days. After two or three months, their strength increased a lot.

Now, she can lift six or seven hundred kilograms of things by herself.

Although Mr. Wen is a little worse, he can still lift four or five hundred kilograms of things by himself.

While they were busy here, the Wang family in the east of the city had already learned that a large amount of tea was entering the city through the north gate.

Wang Cishan blew the tea leaves in the bowl and asked the manager standing below, "Which company brought it in? The Liu family or the Li family?"

The steward replied hesitantly: "No, they are just a few outsiders."

"Strangers?" Wang Cishan stopped blowing the tea, pondered for a moment, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if they are not locals. Most of the strangers are just passing by, so let them be."

"But I heard from Li Er that those foreigners from Xiangwu set up a stall in front of the Tangquan Inn to sell milk tea, which attracted a lot of people."

"Milk tea?" Wang Cishan pondered for a while, and still felt that a few outsiders would not be able to cause any big trouble. "You and Zou Wei should keep an eye on them for the next two days. If they are just minor fights and have nothing to do with our business, just let them do what they want. If they don't know what's good for them, teach them a lesson."

"Yes." The steward responded and retreated respectfully.

After a while, a woman with her hair full of pearls and jade came in. Wang Cishan looked up at her, then lowered his head to continue sipping tea.

Seeing this, the woman sat down next to him unhappily, "Master, you are too lazy to even look at me now."

“I just took a look.” Wang Cishan was blowing tea.

"You." Zou Ruge was furious. After a while, she heard Wang Cishan say, "Why are you here now? What's the matter?"

Zou Ruge then remembered what she meant and said calmly, "Your sister sent me a letter saying that Yang'er ran away from home."

"Running away from home?" Wang Cishan was stunned, then snorted, "Wan'er was keeping a close eye on that bastard, how come she didn't keep an eye on him this time?"

"What bastard, that's your son!" Zou Ruge said angrily.

If Wang Cishan had not secretly exchanged his son for his sister-in-law, he would not have been taught like this.

Thinking of this, Zou Ruge felt extremely angry.

Wang Cishan knew he was in the wrong, so he put away his impatience and asked, "What else did Wan'er say in the letter?"

"She said Yang'er left a letter saying he was coming south, and asked us to keep an eye on him. If he comes to Lin'an, we must stop him."

"Okay, I'll notify them in a moment and ask the people below to keep an eye out."

At 12:00 p.m., Wen Shu poured the boiled water and scented tea into the mold. After putting everything into the basket, she said to Old Man Wen at the door, "Dad, I'm going to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Please help me guard the door and don't let anyone in."

Old Man Wen agreed and immediately moved a chair to guard the kitchen door.

Half an hour later, Qin Jingyang and Zhuo Rufeng came back.
After greeting Old Man Wen, Qin Jingyang went straight to Wen Shu's room and knocked on the door a few times.

Just at this moment, Wen Shu came out of the kitchen and couldn't help but shout, "What are you doing standing at my door?"

Qin Jingyang turned around, hurried over excitedly, and said happily: "Why are you still in the kitchen? Look, what did I bring you?"

He handed the small brocade bag in his hand to Wen Shu as if he was presenting a treasure.

Wen Shu took it doubtfully, opened it, and saw a palm-sized transparent glass bottle hidden inside the brocade bag.

The light red liquid is flowing in the bottle, and you can smell a faint fragrance without opening the bottle cap.

"Rose water?"

"Yeah." Qin Jingyang nodded repeatedly. "I heard that these are goods that just arrived from the Maritime Customs. Many people are trying to grab them. I managed to grab a bottle for you with great difficulty."

"Why are you trying to grab this? I don't like these." Wen Shu stuffed the thing back into his hand.

Hearing this, Qin Jingyang suddenly felt a little disappointed. Looking at the bag in his hand, he whispered, "I saw other girls were trying to grab it. I thought you would like it too."

Seeing this, Wen Shu's heart softened and he took the brocade bag back, "I didn't like it at first, but since you snatched it for me, I'll use it reluctantly."

"Really? Really?" Qin Jingyang laughed again.

Zhuo Rufeng, who had been silent all this time, said at the right time: "Fortunately the young lady accepted it, otherwise Brother Qin's punch would have been in vain."

"What? You were beaten?"

"That's not true." Qin Jingyang denied it vehemently. He turned his face away and kept winking at Zhuo Rufeng.

Zhuo Rufeng spread his hands, and Wen Shu simply turned his face away.

I saw a red mark on the right side of Qin Jingyang's face, where the area blocked by his hair was. It was already swollen.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Wen Shu said angrily.

When I saw a strand of hair falling from his right side, I thought it was pulled by the girls in Xiyu Tower.

"Who hit me?" Wen Shu took a deep breath, picked up the carrying pole beside him and was about to leave.

Qin Jingyang quickly held her back and said, "I don't know him, but don't worry, I beat him up a few times and didn't suffer any loss."

As the most dissolute playboy in the capital, although he doesn't know martial arts, he knows a few tricks and ways to sneak attack.

Wen Shu was angry and amused, and pulled him to sit on the stool beside the well, "Don't move, I'll give you some medicine."

She took out her homemade golden sand ointment from her bosom and applied it to Qin Yangyang while asking, "Can you see the young lady from Xiyu Tower? Can you hear the song? How is she? Is she really beautiful?"

Qin Yangyang didn't say anything.

Wen Shu asked in confusion: "Why, is it because she is not pretty enough, or because she doesn't sing well?"

"No...I didn't see anyone." Qin Jingyang said hesitantly.

"Why, not enough silver?"

"The money you gave to Brother Qin was all taken by him to buy rose water, and he even borrowed a few taels from me." Zhuo Rufeng added.

Wen Shu was surprised, because she gave four taels of silver.

She turned to look at Qin Jingyang, "How much did this thing cost?"

"Eight, eight taels." Qin Jingyang had just finished speaking when he saw Wen Shu taking off his shoes.

He immediately jumped up from the stool reflexively and ran towards the room with a roar.

Wen Shu picked up his shoes and chased after him, "Don't run! I'll beat you to death, you loser!"

But when she chased him to the door, Qin Jingyang had already hidden in the room and closed the door.

I could still hear him mumbling to himself inside the door, "Eight ounces of silver isn't expensive."
