Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 837 Fans
This summer is extremely hot, and it will be the end of June in a blink of an eye.

The sky was sunny and cloudless, and it hadn't rained for several days. The weather was so hot that Yun Yiyi didn't like to run outside like before.

"Ma'am, it's done, it's done."

The maid ran in happily.

Yun Yiyi was lying under the couch, and two little maids beside her were fanning her.

Hearing this, he lazily raised his eyes, then closed them again, feeling drowsy.

"What's ripe?"

"Ma'am, the watermelon you planted is ripe. It has grown so big." The servant girl said excitedly.

"Oh, the watermelon is ripe."

Yun Yiyi repeated it calmly.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes suddenly: "You mean the watermelon is ripe?"

"Exactly."

"Hurry up and get someone to bring me some." Yun Yiyi said.

The servant girl let out a hey and stepped out of the threshold in a hurry.

She looked up at the scorching sun, feeling powerless and didn't want to leave.

In this kind of weather, people can't exert their strength at all.

Not to mention running around, I really don't have that kind of thought.

In summer, it makes people drowsy.

"Ma'am, do you still need your servant to bring some ice cubes?" A little maid next to her saw that the ice cubes in the cup had melted, and hurriedly asked Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi thought for a while: "Go ahead, get some more."

After the watermelon is brought back later, I can just make an iced watermelon.

The little maid hurriedly stepped back to get ice cubes.

After one person left, the force of the fan became weaker.

Yun Yiyi picked up the cup with ice cubes and stuck it on her face, trying to make her hot cheeks feel better.

The little maid didn't keep her waiting, and brought the ice cubes over after a while.

The age without air conditioning is too difficult, and we can only rely on this ancient method to cool down.

Yun Yiyi instinctively felt that this could not go on like this, otherwise she might really die from the heat.

She has to do something.

The air conditioner is definitely impossible, but the fan is still simple.

"Go get a pen and paper." Yun Yiyi said to the little maid.

After the pen and paper were brought over, Yun Yiyi began to draw the fan blades, wheels, handles, and bases.

After finishing the drawing, she handed the drawing to the maid and asked her to send it to the craftsman.

What she drew is a hand-operated fan, which only needs people to hold the handle and turn it, and the running wheel will be driven. Once the air flows, it will naturally cool down.

"Yes, ma'am." The little maid stepped out of the threshold, just in time to meet the maid carrying the watermelon in.

"Ma'am, the watermelon is here." The maid trotted over.

Yun Yiyi asked someone to take a basin, and put all the ice cubes brought by the little maid into it.

After washing the watermelon, Yun Yiyi put it in the ice basin.

It's a simple ice cream.

There were no juicers in ancient times.

Yun Yiyi didn't bother to bother with manually squeezing the juice.

She wants to eat ice watermelon more than juice.

After the ice melted, Yun Yiyi asked people to take out the watermelon.

This watermelon was so big that Yun Yiyi couldn't finish it by herself, so she cut it in half from the middle.

"Go and take this half of the watermelon to the master in the study." Yun Yiyi said to the maid.

Seeing that the maids were all staring at the half watermelon in her hand, she smiled and pointed to a basket of watermelons: "Okay, don't bother watching, this basket of watermelons will be distributed to people in the house." Let's eat."

The maids were overjoyed and thanked her quickly.

Watermelon is something ordinary people can't afford, and they didn't expect that they could enjoy this kind of treatment with their wife.

How can this not be a surprise?
"Ma'am, what can I do with five carts of watermelons?" the servant girl asked.

"Have you finished picking all the watermelons in the field?" Yun Yiyi asked.

"Returning to Madam, there are many more, the maidservant only picked some of them."

Yun Yiyi nodded: "Send one cart to Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Crown Princess, and send another cart to the restaurant, let them make watermelon juice, and leave a cart for our family to eat."

The servant girl went out in response.

After finishing the matter, Yun Yiyi asked someone to take a spoon and eat the half watermelon directly.

Not to mention how comfortable it is.

Although the fan is not ready yet, this watermelon tastes thirst-quenching and cool.

There were no pesticides in ancient times, and they were grown by themselves, so they are safe to eat.

Watermelon is big and sweet, and it is very enjoyable to eat.

The watermelons that Yun Yiyi sent to the palace were quickly taken over by others, and they were divided into three groups, heading in different directions.

"Your Majesty, Madam Yan sent you a cart of watermelons." When the emperor was so hot that he didn't want to correct the memorial, the eunuch in charge suddenly walked in.

"Hurry up and get someone to lift it up." The emperor was overjoyed.

There is no watermelon in the Great Zhou Kingdom, they are all imported from the Rong Kingdom, the price is expensive, only the nobles can afford it.

I didn't expect Yun Yiyi to be so generous, as a gift is a car.

The emperor couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, it seemed that Yan Qinghe still had him as the emperor in his heart, he couldn't openly say anything, so he asked his wife to send a car over.

"Your Majesty, look at how big this watermelon is." The chief eunuch said in surprise.

The emperor was also amazed.

"I don't know where Madam Yan bought the watermelon, but it's even bigger than the watermelon in Rong Country."

"Your Majesty, I heard from the servant who delivered the watermelon that this is the watermelon that Mrs. Yan planted herself." The chief eunuch suddenly remembered this and hurriedly told the emperor.

The emperor was surprised and said: "There is such a thing, then I want to taste the watermelon grown by Mrs. Yan."

The chief eunuch hurriedly asked people to lift the watermelon down and cut it into pieces.

After a while, the watermelon was brought to the table.

The emperor picked up a piece of watermelon, and just took a bite when the juice flowed down.

"Hmm! This watermelon is so sweet!"

The emperor looked down at the red watermelon, and suddenly remembered something, and ordered: "Go and send some baskets of watermelon to the queen and the prince."

The chief eunuch took the order.

When he arrived at the queen's palace, he explained to the queen why he came.

No, the queen smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has a heart, please tell your Majesty, there is also a cart of watermelons sent by Mrs. Yan here. After all, this plate of watermelon is His Majesty's wish, so I will accept it."

The chief eunuch was taken aback.

Seeing him in a daze, the queen pointed to the table not far away with her slender fingers.

There, there was a plate of watermelon rind on it.

The chief eunuch walked out in a daze, and walked towards the Prince's Mansion.

Since the queen gave it away, then the Prince's Mansion also gave it away, right?

After all, it is obvious to all that the Crown Princess and Yun Yiyi have a good relationship, and Yun Yiyi is also the adoptive mother of the unborn emperor's grandson.

In case she forgot.

The chief eunuch thought luckily.

When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion and explained his purpose, he was invited in.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty got a cart full of watermelons, so he sent this old slave over to bring you some baskets."

The prince smiled gently: "That's really a coincidence, there is also a cart of watermelons here."

"May I ask His Highness the Crown Prince, is it not from Mrs. Yan?" the chief eunuch said tremblingly.

The prince smiled and nodded: "It's Mrs. Yan."

This time, the chief eunuch gave up, and he left without expression.

After returning, the emperor asked about it.

The chief eunuch said: "Return to Your Majesty, Madam Yan not only sent you a cart of watermelons, but also sent a cart of watermelons to the queen and the crown prince."

The emperor was slightly surprised.

Not too surprised.

This is something Yun Yiyi would do.

restaurants.

The watermelon delivered by Yun Yiyi was placed in the back kitchen.

Follow Yun Yiyi's instructions.

The chefs peeled the watermelon, chopped it and put it in gauze for filtration, so that the juice that flows out is very delicate, and then put a few ice cubes.

Refreshing and refreshing chilled watermelon juice is ready.

It was the hottest weather, and when the iced watermelon came out, it was almost empty for a second.

Everyone thought that watermelons would be very expensive.

After all, only Rong country produces watermelons, and transporting them from there will cost a lot of travel expenses and manpower, not to mention that there may be damage in the middle, so the price is naturally expensive.

But I didn't expect that the watermelon sold in the restaurant could even be eaten by ordinary people.

Watermelon is no longer exclusive to the nobles, and the common people who have never eaten watermelon were so happy that their eyes filled with tears.

"My god, I'm finally able to eat watermelon."

"The restaurant has a conscience. Watermelons are sold so cheaply. I'm always worried that they will lose money."

"That's right, shopkeeper, why don't you raise the price more."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This is what our wife means, but I dare not raise the price."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Yan, she is really a living Bodhisattva!"

"Oh, it was Mrs. Yan who proposed greenhouse vegetables before."

"Did you forget Mafeisan? If it weren't for Mrs. Yan, many illnesses would have been cured."

"That's right, Mrs. Yan is really a good person."

Everyone, you and I are praising Yun Yiyi. When the shopkeeper reported the performance, he told Yun Yiyi about it.

She thought she would be proud, but Yun Yiyi just said slowly: "I originally hoped that common people could afford this watermelon, so I didn't set the price too high. If I want to make money, there are many ways. There is no need to rely on this kind of watermelon." method."

In modern times, watermelon is not a rare thing, everyone can eat it, and everyone can afford it.

To be honest, if she really wanted to make this money, she could set the price higher.

But she didn't want to do that.

It's not the heart of the Virgin Mary, but she thinks that common people have the right to taste this so-called watermelon.

If she had been in the early stages of her business, she might still have made this kind of money, but now restaurants, glass factories, and oil mills are all generating income for her, so there is really no need to do this kind of thing.

As a human being, being happy is the most important thing.

Delicious, of course I want to share it with everyone.

"Madam is benevolent, I admire you." The shopkeeper sighed.

He didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune to have such a master.

Worrying about making money for her every day broke her heart, but she seemed to stay out of it, calm and calm.

Let's say she doesn't like money, because everything is in the development plan.

Say she likes money, but sometimes it's more about following her own heart.

Take this watermelon, for example.

Which watermelon hawker in the capital is not a few taels of silver?

Even though the watermelon was small, there were still a few marks on the edge.

That is not sold for a penny less.

"Shopkeeper, go and help me find a field. I want to plant watermelons all over the country."
