Today is just a marketing promotion, and Chen Xu doesn’t know if the ice powder can be sold for twenty yuan per bowl.

Moreover, because honey is too precious, he originally kept two boxes of bees in Xiaohe Village. After transporting them to Xianyang, he was divided into five cages and placed them in a farmer's house outside the city for fostering. Later, he gave Feng Quji a box, and Meng Yi also asked for one box. Chen Xu heard that the emperor could not eat honey every day, so he specially sent two boxes to the palace, so he only had one box of bees left.

In order to raise bees well, he specially found several alchemists and farmers who were proficient in breeding to manage bees. According to the beekeeping method he summarized, he told them how to find a queen bee platform in the beehive, stab a lot of queen bee eggs to death with a needle, and then leave one or two cages.

Chen Xu didn't know about bee cage separation, but it did not prevent him from knowing the principle of bee cage separation. That is, once a new queen bee is produced, the bee will inevitably start to divide the cage due to leadership problems. The queen bee appears from the special honeycomb that produces royal jelly. This honeycomb is different from other worker bee honeycombs. It covers the bottom of the honeycomb, which is obviously much larger like peanuts. When he went back to Xiaohe Village to get honey last time, he observed it specifically and found the location of the queen bee nest. After two boxes of bees were transported to Xianyang, he asked someone to make several more beehives. In the spring, the queen bee hatched, so he divided three more boxes out.

Now many princes and princes know that Chen Xu can raise bees, and many people come to inquire. The emperor even asked the Shaofu to set up an internal official department called Mufeng Order, which is responsible for bees raising honey, and the only one who teaches experience is Chen Xu.

However, in this summer, the first team of Daqin specializing in artificially domesticated bees was already quite large, with twenty or thirty people. They guarded the palace and Chen Xu's three-cage beehives every day to study how to get honey and divide cages, and also learned how to collect wild bees in the wild. With the support of the emperor, the team achieved remarkable results. Now they have collected seven or eight bees. When the new queen bee is born tomorrow, they will probably be able to divide more than ten boxes in one breath. In three or five years, they will definitely form the scale of a beekeeping factory. Then various insect and disease prevention matters will naturally be slowly learned and summarized. With the promotion of this method of artificially domesticated bees, a few years later, artificial bees can be seen everywhere in Daqin, and precious honey will gradually become a relatively common nutritional product and condiment in people's lives.

However, at present, honey is definitely a luxury item among luxury goods, and is the highest-end ingredient that is more expensive than gold.

Therefore, the luxury of adding honey to a snack like ice powder made Chen Xu hesitate for a few days and decided to give up using honey. Instead, boil the sugar made in Qinghe Town with water and boiled it into sugar juice instead of honey water. Moreover, after tasting it, the people in the house said that the taste was still good, but the cost almost dropped by more than a hundred times.

A box of honey can only get three or five kilograms of honey a year. The excess is left to keep bees for winter and cultivate young peaks, but it is much easier to boil fructose. There are no need to be too many wild fruits on the mountain. In autumn, there are countless pears, prickly pears, and pears. In Qinghe Town alone, you can boil hundreds of kilograms of sugar in one autumn. Now in Xianyang, there are more mountains and fields nearby, so you can naturally open a workshop for making fructose. It is time for autumn.

Therefore, today's experiments in promoting ice powder were used, using fructose juice, and the price was changed to ten yuan per bowl, which also received unanimous praise and welcome from diners.

The news of a delicious food selling a summer heat relief in Qinghe Garden was instantly conveyed like a gust of wind. Many bored and hot idle people at home rode horses and carriages to Qinghe Garden to prepare for a taste.

The popularity of experimental sales also made the ice noodle sales team in Qinghe Garden excited. If each pot is sold, they can get a commission of ten yuan. In just half an hour, six pots of ice noodle are sold out. Each pot is about twenty bowls, and six pots of one hundred and twenty bowls, which is counted as one thousand, two hundred yuan. The speed of making money is comparable to robbing money. You must know that a sumptuous banquet in Qinghe Garden is only one thousand or two thousand yuan, and it also includes chicken, duck, fish, meat, and also consumes firewood, rice, oil, salt, and various spices and seasonings. In the kitchen, it has to be fryed, fried, cooked and fried for nearly half an hour. A large group of helpers and chefs can serve them well. The cost is more than ten times that of these six pots of ice noodle.

Small businesses can also make big money.

This is something that many people don't understand.

But as a person who has been living in later generations, although Chen Xu himself did not make money, he also knew that many wealthy people rose to the point of being inconspicuous small businesses. In this era, all businessmen always felt that running firewood, rice, oil, salt, grain and cloth was the business, and they would not take this kind of needle-like business seriously.

Stimulated by the hot business, the chefs in Qinghe Park quickly made several buckets of ice powder again, and consumed all the ice powder sent today, but the supply was still in short supply and sold out again before afternoon. However, people came to hear the news. There were even housekeepers from the palace who came to buy the clay pots in person. Even palace servants came to ask in the palace. Therefore, the logistics manager of Qinghe Park could only arrange for people to ride twenty miles to Qinghe Villa to inform the Marquis to send a large amount of ice powder to Qinghe Park again.

"So popular?" Chen Xu, who was lying on the lounge chair by the swimming pool with brown sunglasses, chatting with Yu Wuya, was surprised.

"Marty, it's not just a hot man, it's so hot that it's explosive. The street in front of Qingheyuan is in vain, and the concubines in the palace have arranged for palace servants to come and ask..."

"Do you know in the palace?" Chen Xu sat up with his chin, put on his clothes a few times and walked towards the kitchen.

After moving outside the city recently, apart from occasionally visiting the factory and checking the construction of cement factories and the smelting results of new steel, I have only been to the fake immortal research institute of Zhengboqiao. There are very few people in the city, so it is even more impossible to go to court. He has no interest in disaster relief and trivial matters such as disaster relief and disputes in the court.

Zheng Boqiao used a gourd, Five Poisons Shuhun Water to make Chen Xu an electric small motor for several days. Although it did not cause much damage, he was so uneasy that he was not relieved by talking nonsense. Therefore, Chen Xu was very angry. After being caught, he beat him up and imprisoned him in a factory to study the Five Poisons Shuhun Water and various magic pills. Chen Xu also hoped that this good thing would not be lost, so he asked Xu Fu to study it with him, hoping to find a drug that has no toxic side effects after improvement, and one day he could even find a powerful purified drug similar to adrenaline, which could save a life at a critical moment.

It seems that I haven't been to the court for almost half a month recently.

It is already known in the Ice Noodle Palace, and there are concubines who have arranged for the palace servants to ask. It seems that the emperor must also know that if the delicacy of clearing heat and relieving heat is not given to the emperor for five, six, seven or eight bowls, it may cause a estrangement in his heart.

So after arriving at the kitchen, Chen Xu asked the manager responsible for purchasing jelly to divide the hundreds of kilograms of jelly collected into two parts, half of which were loaded into a carriage and transported to Qinghe Garden. At the same time, he also made two basins of ice powder, placed them in the ice bucket, and also loaded them into the carriage with the remaining half of jelly. He took a chef and a group of guards to the palace with sunglasses. Yu Wuya also walked along with a pair of sunglasses and rode a horse with an iron sword in his hand. The two looked extremely weird, and they passed by, causing countless passers-by to point and talk in the sun.

Although it is the end of June now, autumn will begin in five days.

But this summer is particularly hot, and it is drier and less rainy than in previous years. Fortunately, the Wei River flows abundantly, and there are many rivers and streams flowing out of Nanshan and Zongshan on the Wei River Plain. In addition, the entire Wei River Plain is the site of the old nest of the Qin Dynasty. It was developed very early, and various irrigation ditches and farmland water conservancy facilities are relatively complete. Therefore, there is still a bumper harvest in summer and autumn.

After the Wu Dynasty was dispersed, Qin Shihuang returned to the Zichen Hall where he rested and worked on his daily life, accompanied by palace servants and guards. Although he was the emperor, he was still an ordinary person. After an hour of discussion, Qin Shihuang's court robes were already sweating tightly against his slightly fat body. Moreover, when he walked back to Zichen Hall, sweat beads as big as beans rolled down on his forehead.

After washing his face and washing his hands, he changed into thin regular clothes. Several palace maids stood beside him and kept fanning. After drinking another bowl of herbal tea, Qin Shihuang still felt irritable.

It is said that the fire in July is coming, and it should be much cooler as early autumn approaches, but the hot air is still extremely stuffy, and the inciting wind blows on your body feels hot. The summer cicadas in the garden outside the hall are roaring desperately under the scorching sun, forming a noisy sound that makes people feel upset.

After resting for a while, Qin Shihuang picked up a few memorials placed on the desk and looked at them.

Although he no longer needed to review many memorials after the restructuring of the three provinces and six ministries, the three provinces would still send them in as soon as possible to review them.

A minister can share the worries of the emperor, but he can never make decisions on behalf of the emperor.

"I heard that, Qinghehou made another refreshing and cool-smoking delicacy in Qinghe Garden..."

"I just heard that it is said to be as snowy as snow, as ice as ice, crystal clear, tender and smooth, and is a real immortal food..."

"Shh, whisper, I just came from the harem. I heard that Concubine Shu had sent someone to buy it, but the supply was in short supply and sold out!"

"The weather is so hot and hard to take, I really want to taste it. I heard that ten coins per bowl is a bit expensive, but if it is really a fairy food, it would be good to eat a few bowls of fairy spirit..."

"I heard that I would also add fruit vinegar sugar juice, which is sweet and sour…"

The two inner officials whispered and communicated at the door. If Qin Shihuang was usually focused on handling government affairs, he would not hear it. But today he was irritable and looked for a long time before he finished reading a memorial. Moreover, the three words "Qinghe Hou" floated into his ears. Qin Shihuang suddenly remembered that the beloved minister he relied on had not been to court for a long time, and he seemed to deliberately avoid him.

"You two come in!" Qin Shihuang put down the memorial in his hand.

The two spoken internal officials were so scared that they shut up quickly. After they came in, they stood at the door and didn't dare to go out.

"What did you just talk about Qinghe Hou?"

"Puuu~" The two inner officials trembled and kowtowed on the ground, "Your Majesty, I will never dare to disturb Your Majesty again!"

"It's okay, say it!" Qin Shihuang did not scold the two internal officials, so they trembled and told the news they had just heard.

"There is such a quick and refreshing food?" Qin Shihuang held his beard and pondered for a moment, as if he remembered another thing, so he said: "Arranging someone to go to a different courtyard outside Qinghe Hou City to invite Qinghe Hou to the palace, and he said that I have a state affairs discussion..."

Just as Qin Shihuang was speaking, a sound of footsteps stopped from far to near outside Zichen Hall: "Your Majesty, please see outside Qinghe Hou Palace!"
