33. Ice making in summer

Jing Wen and the chefs in the imperial kitchen did not expect that the prince Li Chengqian who came to steal the ice was actually the prince Li Chengqian, and he caught him. Now, Li Chengqian was holding a grudge against them. However, Jing Wen was also complaining in his heart, how could the prince do such a despicable thing and actually came to the imperial kitchen to steal ice? Is this a child's personality or did he like this in nature? Later generations once said that Li Chengqian likes to steal cows and eat meat, but this seems not groundless!

"Jing Wen! What should we do? The prince is now holding a grudge at our imperial kitchen. What should we do? You have a good relationship with the emperor. Can you beg for us to plead with the emperor for us?" Master Hu asked anxiously.

Master Hu was completely anxious this time because he was actually hated by the prince. This problem is very big. Because if he offended the emperor, the emperor would not care about a chef, because ordinary chefs are nothing in the eyes of the emperor and he is not worthy of letting the emperor care about it. But the prince is different. If the prince changes his position and is a child, the child will hold his grudges the most. Now that they offend the prince, they may have a good fruit! For children, who treat them well, they may have a deep memory. But if they treat them badly, they will also have a deep memory. Now that these chefs have given him a condom, can he have a good impression?

Therefore, now Master Hu can only ask Jing Wen to meet the emperor and let Emperor Li Shimin protect their imperial kitchen. However, the answer is obviously futile.

"Master, I have no choice but to do this! The emperor is busy with all kinds of things every day, how can he deal with these small things? Moreover, letting the emperor come forward is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Even if we look for the emperor for a while and let the emperor be the prince of Tong, the prince may just keep this complaint in his heart and then explode in the future!" Jing Wen said.

"What should I do?" Master Hu said helplessly.

Jing Wen had no choice but to say: "The person who tied the bell must be untied. Since the prince is holding a grudge against us, we can only solve the problem from the prince. As long as we make the prince no longer hold a grudge against us, then we are solving the problem?"

"But why did the prince not hold a grudge against us?" asked Master Hu.

"Since the prince stole ice from our imperial kitchen to cool down, we should use the thing of cooling down and cooling down to make a fuss." Jing Wen said.

Jing Wen had an idea in his mind, so he immediately found a few copper basins and then found a large water tank again. Finally, Jing Wen called a few senior brothers.

"Senior brother, you go buy some seasonal fruits at this time, and then buy some cow and goat milk and come back." Jing Wen said.

The senior brother said, "The seasonal fruit is OK, but there is not much milk and goat milk here. This thing is only drunk by Turkic people. We Han people drink cow and goat milk!"

"Senior brother, I must buy it back. I am trying to calm the prince!"

The senior brother heard that he wanted to calm the prince down and did not dare to look down on him. He immediately left the palace to plan to buy it. Jing Wen also left the palace, found some medicinal materials shops, bought some things that looked like powder, and sold several large bags. At this time, the chef who bought fruits and milk came back.

"Junior Brother Jing Wen, I bought the fruits back. There are apples, oranges, and kiwis. However, I only bought three kilograms of milk. This one was bought by me and a Turkic merchant. He brought the live cows to the Central Plains and I could only buy them. If I bought them on the grassland, I am afraid that I would smell bad when I got them."

"Senior brother, you peel these fruits and squeeze the city jam. The oranges need to remove the seeds, and the apples need to make the flesh into jam. You can peel the kiwi fruit and chop it with a knife." Jing Wen arranged it immediately.

The senior brother quickly started to make it according to Jing Wen's method, and Jing Wen also began to check the quality of the milk. It turned out that the milk was still very fresh and had a very strong milk flavor. It was not the pure milk that had no milk at all in later generations. Although this one was only three kilograms of milk, it should be enough.

"Master, please help me heat this milk and boil it." Jing Wen said.

"Okay!" Master Hu also said.

Although Jing Wen knew that the nutrition would be lacking after the milk was boiled, Jing Wen did not pay attention to nutrition but wanted to please the prince. If he took the milk he had just squeezed out for the prince, it would be fine if there was no problem, but he would be a big sin if there was a problem. Therefore, Jing Wen would rather lose the nutrition of the milk, but he would not cause some problems to the prince. This is what is called reducing the risk.

When the milk was boiled, the jam was ready. Jing Wen put the boiled Year of the Ox into three copper basins, then put the three kinds of jam into the milk and mix slowly.

"Okay, finally done, and the next step is to freeze quickly!" Jing Wen said.

"What? Quick freezing? How much does it need to be frozen?" asked Master Hu.

"I have to freeze until they are clumped and become solid. I'm going to make ice cream." Jing Wen said.

Master Hu said incredibly: "Are you going to make ice cream? It's summer now! Even if you put ice cubes into the ice cellar, it will only delay the melting and cannot turn new things into ice cubes. But you actually want to turn this into ice cubes? Is this too ridiculous?"

"Master, what's wrong with making ice in summer? Look at me!" Jing Wen said confidently.

Jing Wen put the three copper plates into the water tank, and then saw the three copper basins floating in the water tank. Then Jing Wen poured the bag of things in his hand into the water tank.

Soon, the temperature around was found to have dropped by several degrees, which made everyone feel a little chilling. Everyone was very surprised, why did it actually reduce the temperature here even on a hot day?

Soon, they found that the water in the water tank was full of white air. Unlike the water vapor at other times, although the white air was rising at the beginning, it was falling later. Not long after, the white air fell to the ground and disappeared.

"Is this?" Master Hu was shocked. They did not expect that the dairy products in the copper basin were solidifying and ready to freeze.

"Miracle! Miracle! It actually freezes in summer. This is really auspicious! I'm going to report to the emperor and say there is auspiciousness."
