Chapter 255 Gift
The so-called good place was actually the door wall where Su Qiao slept under an umbrella while drinking tea when Pingxiba was besieged. Wen Yunxi also fell in love with this place after hearing Zhang Ling complain to her aggrievedly.
The wall is two feet high. Sitting on it and looking out, you can see several people fishing by the sparkling river. The wind is blowing wild flowers everywhere, and you can faintly smell the fragrance of green grass. Looking into the wall, you can see exactly where the children are playing, having fun and carefree.
Wen Yunxi first turned the bottom of the pot, then shook it gently, and poured a cup for himself first, and then for Xuan Lin. It was already early summer, but the water poured out was still slightly cold.
"Where did the ice come from?"
No wonder Xuan Lin was surprised. Lanzhou is located in the south, and it won't snow on the coldest days. To get ice, you can only go north, but you can't store it on the way there, so you have to spend nearly a year in Lanzhou. , he has never had an ice drink.
Wen Yunxi didn't hide it either, "I had someone dig a cellar and make it with saltpeter. Once it absorbs some heat, after a few times, there will be ice."
The cost of making ice from saltpeter is not only high, but the production process is also quite troublesome. However, the ice is not only used for cold drinks, but can also be used for cold compresses on wounds, which is very useful. Therefore, Wen Yunxi had several such cellars dug.
Seeing Xuan Lin take two sips in succession, Wen Yunxi smiled and said, "You can take the workers who repaired the cellar with you when you go back."
Xuan Lin happily agreed. Although it had just entered summer, it was indeed more comfortable to drink the drink with ice.
Thinking of this, Xuan Lin looked at Mr. Liu who was raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat in the distance. Although the wall was comfortable, the people accompanying him were suffering a little.
Wen Yunxi noticed his gaze and loved Xuan Lin even more in his heart. Xuan Lin was a prince. In this feudal dynasty, he was supposed to be arrogant to all living beings, but he rarely had empathy and never ignored those who followed him. When a person is a slave, he is usually very generous, otherwise Mr. Liu would not dare to be so relaxed and unrestrained.
That being the case...
"Wait for me for a while, and I'll come back as soon as I go." Wen Yunxi dropped these words and quickly walked down the city wall.
In order not to disturb the two of them, Manager Liu and the guards kept standing at a distance. They were shocked when they saw Wen Yunxi running down the door wall.
Are these two people having another conflict?
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Xuan Lin looked helplessly at Manager Liu, what did this man think of them? How could they be at odds every now and then.
Seeing that Xuan Lin's expression was the same, Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. His prince had finally fallen in love with him, and it happened that the person he was attracted to was also interested in him. It should have been smooth sailing, but the two of them just didn't know how to do it. Waves, he really didn't dare to be careless.
She said she would wait a moment, but Wen Yunxi came back half an hour later. When he came back, he brought a large wooden box with him. The wooden box was carried by two people and seemed quite heavy.
What is it?
Soon, they saw Wen Yunxi coming over taking a cup from the wooden box.
Despite everyone's puzzled looks, Wen Yunxi did not explain. She placed the ceramic cup on the small table, unscrewed the lid, pressed the cooling valve next to it, touched the wall of the cup after a moment, and after noticing a slight chill, then After waiting for a while, the water inside was poured into the cup.
"Why is it cold?"
Manager Liu just looked carefully and saw where Wen Yunxi pressed, but he didn't understand why the water became cold.
"In the refrigeration cup, pour drinking water into the left mouth and pour cold water into the right mouth. Just press the refrigeration valve and the saltpeter in the interlayer will blend into the water. You only need to wait for half a stick of incense to drink cold drinks."
"If you feel it's not cold enough, you can press it a few more times and you'll be able to drink it with ice crystals. There's a place for saltpeter on the left side of the cup. Just add it after use." "It's so ingenious." Mr. Liu Pick it up and take a closer look. The outside is white porcelain with a bamboo leaf pattern, and the inner layer is also white porcelain. The cup body is also covered with a delicate leather case. There is a leather cord hidden in the leather case. The leather cord can be contracted and can be hung on the shoulder. , can also be pinned to the waist, very suitable for carrying.
"Since Manager Liu likes it, then take it with you."
"This..." Manager Liu looked at Xuan Lin and saw Xuan Lin nodding, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Doctor Wen."
The guards watched with envy as Mr. Liu held the cup in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. This refrigerated cup was not only convenient for them to walk outside, but the white porcelain on the outside was also quite beautiful. The combination of green bamboo leaves and soft sheepskin made it exquisite and refreshing.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yunxi sent Manager Liu away and said to them, "The big box under the wall is for you."
The guards were surprised and thanked them, and before Xuan Lin could say anything, they swarmed down the wall to choose.
Xuan Lin smiled as he looked at the guards scrambling for the first place. Although they were his subordinates, they had known each other for so many years. Even if they were not friends, they still had some friendship. Seeing them happy made him feel comfortable.
"It's costing you money." Xuan Lin also has a porcelain shop in the Central Plains, and he knows how much the white porcelain with bamboo leaf patterns can sell for. After getting a cold drink, he could imagine how many people would buy it with money if the refrigerated cup was released.
Wen Yunxi blinked and approached Xuan Lin with a wicked smile, "Jin Rui pays for them."
pay...
Xuan Lin's heart palpitated, and his swollen lips became numb again. He subconsciously leaned his head in the direction of Wen Yunxi, his eyes moved down her smooth black hair, and slowly looked at Wen Yunxi and looked at the corners of her lips.
As the two of them got closer and closer, Mu Liu ran and shouted, "Master, a pregnant woman is bleeding heavily!"
Wen Yunxi's expression was stern. He ignored the opportunity to kiss Fangze, turned over and jumped off the door wall, "Where is it?"
"In the delivery room No. 2 of the maternal and child hospital!"
Wen Yunxi ran past Mu Liu and soon disappeared from Xuan Lin's sight. He touched his lips and lowered his eyes to hide the regret in his eyes. He was just a little bit closer.
"Your Majesty, should we go take a look?" Manager Liu asked.
"Go back home." Xuan Lin came here today just to meet Wen Yunxi and had no interest in other things. Since Wen Yunxi had urgent matters to deal with, there was no point in him staying.
"What about the little Marquis?" Manager Liu reminded.
Xuan Zeyi lived in Prince Lin's Mansion, and every move he made was watched by them. You could guess that he was just trying to use his handsome appearance to get close to Zhuo Yun, so as to find an opportunity to take revenge and return.
"Don't pay attention, he can't get close." Xuan Lin stood up and walked down.
Xuan Zeyi does have outstanding appearance, and may be able to attract the attention of many girls, but in terms of handsomeness and suaveness, he cannot compare with Yan Shizhong. At first, Yan Shizong only looked at Shu Yun a few times, and he was almost blinded by Shu Yun. Zeyi wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on Shuo Yun, but it was simply a fantasy.
Xuan Zeyi did hit a wall with Shuo Yun as Xuan Lin expected, but he immediately changed his goal.
"Girl, I lost my jade pendant, can you help me find it?"
Xieyue turned her head in surprise, and subconsciously agreed under the expectant gaze of the other party.
