The farmhouse restaurant of the dandy young master

Chapter 37

"I brought ice cubes, can you? Make something to eat?"

Not only did Nangong Rongjin show no trace of annoyance, but the corners of his lips curled into a faintly visible arc. He lifted up his feet and placed a solid wooden box wrapped in a quilt on the window sill.

Huaxi's face was overjoyed, the anger in his eyes disappeared, he stretched out his hand to untie the knotted knot, "There are many. I just didn't expect you to have this good thing. But you are sure to eat it at night Cold? I am not responsible for a bad stomach."

I don't know if Old Man Xia's craftsmanship can? Can't? Make a shaving ice machine, it will definitely make a lot of money!

"Just do it."

"I can't use so many ice cubes." A box full of large ice cubes must be very hygienic when frozen. The ice cubes are crystal clear under the moonlight.

Huaxi picked up an ice cube the size of a brick, deliberately? He picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was very clean and nothing to say.

"Didn't the cellar be dug? Save the rest." There was a bit of teasing in the low voice, and the pair of deep eyes in the mask reflected the lazy Huaxi, especially him? The short hair was not tied It hangs loosely and softly over the shoulders, which is not attractive.

Huaxi put back the ice and retracted his hand, the expression on his face instantly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his tone was stiff.

"Wait outside." Huaxi straightened his clothes, long trousers can cover his feet, he simply did not change, opened the door and took a set of tools for pounding garlic, a small jar of honey and a spoon bowl, and walked out of the kitchen.

This? A small jar of honey or he? He bought it when he met him at the market by chance, and he has never been willing to open the jar to eat.This time it's cheaper for them.

Feeling uneasy, Huaxi still has to abide by the ethics of his own industry, can't he? He smashed his own brand.

Huaxi put the tool and the closure on the stone table, "Can you? Break an ice brick and give it to me?"

Nangong Rongjin took out an ice brick without hesitation, broke it in half with bare hands, and handed it over.

Huaxi is not satisfied? He shook his head without taking over, "Small."

Nangong Rongjin broke it up again without any hesitation, and made it into a size that could be put into a garlic masher without waiting for Huaxi's request.

Huaxi was slightly surprised, really didn't expect him to be so easy to talk and so discerning, holding the garlic mashing stick, smashed the small pieces of ice into fine pieces, and then poured them into the bowl.He lifted the cloth plug of the sealed honey pot, scooped out two spoonfuls with a spoon, poured it on the crushed ice, mixed it briefly, and sent it to the man.

"That's it?" Is it that simple?Nangong Rongjin was a little disappointed, thanks to him? Thought? He? Could? Surprise himself, but the result was too unsatisfactory? His eyes dimmed a little.

"What do you think? You came so late, and not early? Tell me, let me prepare something for you? Okay, don't look at the production? It's simple, I poured honey, so I won't let you It’s a waste of time, let’s try it.” Huaxi almost gave Nangong Rongjin the middle finger, hasn’t he tasted it yet?Just jump to conclusions.

I still have confidence in the things I made.

Thinking of the astonishment that the mung bean cold belt gave him, Nangong Rongjin still decided to believe him. Once, taking the bowl and spoon, he dug a small spoonful and put it in his mouth.

A cool and sweet taste instantly conquered Nangong Rongjin's tongue, and he swallowed it in one gulp, it seemed that it started from the throat, and everywhere it went was extremely cool, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, it ran through.

It's a pity that he doesn't know the word "too Xinliang", otherwise he would know how to describe this feeling at this moment.

The mask covered half of the man's face, basically covering most of his expression, and Hua Xi could only judge from the corner of his raised mouth, this man should have tasted something wonderful. .

"Do you still have ice cubes? Do you want to sell them?" Huaxi really didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to make money. Asking while the other party seems to be in a good mood, maybe there will be unexpected results. .

There was anticipation in Huaxi's eyes, and there was a faint light under the reflection of the moonlight.

Under Huaxi's expectant gaze, Nangong Rongjin slowly ate up a small bowl of crushed honey ice, and passed the empty bowl over, "Not for sale, just another bowl." He brought it from the palace ice cellar The ice cubes stored here are of extraordinary quality,

Huaxi immediately lowered his face, "Stingy." But he still took the empty bowl, crushed the ice cubes and poured honey on it. The gesture of handing it over was not polite.

"But I know where it's sold." Nangong Rongjin took it over, and the topic of the conversation came with an unpredictable turn.

"It's not kind, it's fun to hang people, isn't it? But you said, where can I sell it? The ice cubes are all provided by the big family, and I'm afraid I don't have enough? Why would you want to? Sell it out. Even if it's from a restaurant No matter how many reserves there are, I’m afraid I’m not willing to do so.”

"You don't need to ask the source, just tell me whether to buy it or not?"

"Buy!" Huaxi replied decisively, afraid that the other party would change his mind after being upset, and where would he go to reason?

"That's it. I will send a carriage over tomorrow. You can discuss the price with the other party." As he spoke, Nangong Rongjin ate a bowl again, and exhaled comfortably, as if even the breath he exhaled was cool. .

"Can you? Can't? Get to the bottom of it. If it's too expensive, I can't afford it now. Wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Huaxi has his own little ninety-nine in his heart. Ice cubes in summer are in short supply and expensive.He? The working capital in his hand is not enough for 200 taels of silver, let alone a cart.If the asking price is too high, he might not even be able to sell the wheels.

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the people who store the ice, and the price will be fair." That's him? It's not up to him how much to sell the ice in his palace.If it wasn't for the fact that he had returned to the mansion only a handful of times, the used ones were all from the palace, and the ice cubes stored in the mansion would have been left as they were, and no one would have dared to move a piece of ice without his order.

Hearing what the man said, Huaxi laughed very happily immediately, and slapped the other person's shoulder, "Okay, that's really interesting, next time I come, I'll give you another taste that is even more delicious." The way to eat it, I guarantee you want to eat a whole load."

Being beaten by Huaxi naturally? Nangong Rongjin, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help smiling, "Okay."

Huaxi was so happy that he forgot to ask the other party to circle the fifteen dishes, sealed the remaining useless ice cubes, and carried them to the cellar. When he came out, he had already left, as if he had come quietly sound.

He? After returning to the house, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He lit the lamp, lay down on the desk, and began to draw the manual ice shaved machine.

They know the principle, but if it is made of wood, it seems impossible to achieve the effect of shaved ice, and the whole body must be made of iron.

But can a blacksmith make that level of precision?

At night, Huaxi only slept for a few hours, and when she opened her eyes, she stood at the door looking forward to it, and asked Ma Qinger and the others to leave late.When the sun ran out of the horizon, Huaxi finally waited for a carriage.

The middle-aged man with a big belly staggered forward with the help of a servant. Huaxi took a closer look and found that he was still an acquaintance.

So, he? Isn't he the ice delivery guy?

While he was hesitating, the obese man had already walked in front of Huaxi, and resolved Huaxi's doubts with a single mouthful, "I'm here to deliver ice cubes, there are twenty boxes in total, and each box is twelve taels, a total of 200 taels. .”

This time, unlike the last time, Fangzi came here, but got a clear order from the master. Although his attitude was still a bit arrogant, compared with the last time, he had already restrained himself a lot.

Huaxi was surprised, this price is equivalent to giving it away for nothing?

On the market today, a box of ice cubes is equivalent to fifty catties, and the normal price is almost one hundred taels.

"Why, can't you even get 200 taels?" The obese man frowned, feeling a little distressed, is he still going to lower the price?

No matter how poisonous Huaxi's eyes are, he still can't see the fat man's thoughts? He quickly said, "Of course, I can confirm the goods? I'll give you the bank note."

The obese man didn't stop Huaxi, and with a casual gesture, he secretly looked at Huaxi, and secretly couldn't help but speculate that the master must have taken a fancy to this guy.

Huaxi took Ma Qing'er and Ma Dadong to check the boxes, making sure that the ice cubes were well preserved and showed no sign of melting, so they quickly moved them to the cellar.

Huaxi didn't talk to the fat male guest, handed over the silver taels without saying a word, waved goodbye, and ignored him any more.At that time, the fat man didn't even walk out of the yard...

Huaxi got into the fast food truck, sat on the driver's seat, urged Ma Qing'er to get in the car, grabbed the reins and drove the carriage, a cloud of dust was rolled up and the fat man's face was blown up.

When they arrived in the capital, Huaxi went to the Fang family's iron shop alone. After hearing the boy's report, the steward came out to greet him in person. For them, Huaxi was a big customer.

"Brother Fang, I won't talk to you about twists and turns. Can we talk in detail in the room?"

Seeing Huaxi being so cautious, the middle-aged muscular man, the eldest son of the Fang family, hurriedly invited someone into the living room.

"I don't know how the blacksmith's craftsmanship is. Can the craftsmen in the shop make the things on the drawings?"

Fang's eldest son looked at the blueprint that Huaxi took out seriously, "What is this?"

"The ice shaving machine can chop up ice cubes and turn them into slag. As you can see in the picture, the blade can roll as long as I shake the handle. So the inside is spiral."

"This one can not only be used to crush ice, right?" Although Fang's eldest son is muscular, his mind is not filled with straw. He looked at it carefully for a while, then opened his eyes wide, and immediately thought of other things by inference. The magical effect of ?.

"Brother Fang, you can use it not only to crush ice, but also to grind meat. Can you make it?"

Fang's eldest son suddenly burst into laughter, "To tell the truth, Master Xi, I studied Luban's skills when I was young. I dare not tell others, but I can definitely do it."

"Great." Huaxi clapped excitedly, "but I have a request. Brother Fang is not allowed to sell it before summer. After summer, I will charge for every one sold by Brother Fang." money."

Fang's eldest son jumped up excitedly by Huaxi's words, "Is this really true?"

"One promise is enough, and four horses are hard to chase." Huaxi stretched out his palm, and high-fived Fang's eldest son as an oath.
