After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 115 Ice Making

"Princess, Xue Niang sent a message saying that everything is normal in the shop. Please don't worry. There is only one thing that she is a little undecided about."

"What are you unsure about?"

She had explained before that she was just busy recently and nothing big should happen, right?

Yu Tingwan was lying in the rocking chair. The weather was getting hotter. She had been in poor spirits lately and was too lazy to do anything. She asked Zi Su to prepare several summer snacks in the mansion.

As a result, this turned out to be a good deal for Shen Chenli. Ever since he once saw the double-skin milk milk, a cooling snack that she asked him to make, he has been coming to her house every day.

Look, now he is sitting next to Yu Tingwan and fanning her!

"It's the Second Miss Yu. Didn't you say before that we wouldn't sell our products to the Second Miss Yu? But recently Xue Niang discovered some problems. There was a woman who often came to the shop to buy rouge and powder. At first, Xue Niang didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, when Xue Niang was checking the accounts and the treasury, she discovered that this ordinary woman had spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver here. Xue Niang was afraid that the money came from unknown sources and would cause trouble again, so she asked someone to investigate.

It turned out that this person was connected with the concubine of the Yu family and the second young lady of the Yu family, which allowed Xue Niang to discover the clues.

Now Xueniang is a little undecided, wondering whether she should do something?"

Yu Tingwan sat up slightly and took off the handkerchief covering her face. The sunlight shining on her face made Yu Tingwan squint.

But after a moment, the light in front of him dimmed. Yu Tingwan looked up and found that the man had placed the fan in his hand on his head.

"Thank you."

Without thinking too much, Yu Tingwan said to Jingmei, "Since she likes it so much, then just pretend you don't know. But the price... our business has been booming recently, and our production can't keep up. Good things naturally go to the highest bidder!"

He looked up at Jingmei who was listening carefully, curled his lips and smiled, and asked, "Do you understand?"

Jingmei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. She naturally knew what to do, so she didn't delay and went back to deal with the matter.

Shen Chenli, who had been silent, finally spoke up: "This person is so annoying. Do you want to find something for her to do?"

Yu Tingwan looked at him with amusement. He had been staying at her place every day lately and she didn't know what he wanted to do. If he hadn't helped her fan herself when he had nothing to do, she would have definitely chased him away!

"That's not necessary. She doesn't have time to bother me right now. This banquet alone is enough to give her a headache."

Shen Chenli just didn't want to give her a headache. He couldn't just kill this man. He was always annoying and disgusting.

"But today Jingmei came and I remembered that I can do what I have always wanted to do. However, I am afraid I will have to trouble the prince."

Shen Chenli naturally knew what she was talking about. Ever since the mansion's property was handed over to her, she had really given him great surprises. Various reforms and strange methods seemed to be everything she didn't know. Any shop in her hands could make a lot of money.

This is something she had wanted to do for a long time. She called it a milk tea shop, which also has a variety of iced cold drinks, which are very suitable for summer consumption.

It was after he accidentally came to her yard several times that he discovered that she not only researched new and exotic foods, but also had a variety of summer cooling drinks.

Seeing that the maids and secret guards around her lived a more comfortable life than he, a prince, Shen Chenli could not sit still. After passing by her yard several times "accidentally", he finally heard the heavenly voice inviting him to try new products.

The trouble mentioned here is to use his power to stabilize the situation of the shop. The main reason is the bowl of cool ice placed in front of him!

Thinking of the scene at that time, Shen Chenli couldn't help but sigh that, by some strange coincidence, he had really married a treasure!

"Princess, what are you doing?"

These few days, the princess suddenly took a medicinal ingredient from the pharmacy, Glauber's salt. If it were just that, it would be fine. After all, the princess understands medical principles, so it is normal for her to take medicinal ingredients.

But the strange thing is that the princess took away all the Glauber's salt in the medicine cabinet in the palace, all of it!

This naturally attracted everyone's attention, the first of which was Lu Cheng, who had been living in the mansion recently.

"I don't know, but I'll know in the future. Let's wait and see in a few days!"

Shen Chenli was right. If the princess intended to hide it from them, she would not have used the things in the palace.

However, before the day was over, the backyard became noisy with chirping, which startled housekeeper Chen so much that he hurried over to take a look. After seeing what was going on, he hurried to the front yard!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take a look. Please go to the Princess's courtyard. There is a big, big surprise!"

Before entering the study, Butler Chen started shouting anxiously.

Shen Chenli quickly opened the door and looked at Butler Chen, who had never lost his composure like this before. He felt that something big might have happened!

"What's wrong with the princess? Take the prince over quickly!"

When he was rushed to the backyard by the crowd, he saw a group of people gathered together, including maids, secret guards, even Lu Cheng and Song Shixu who had come over at some point!

Shen Chenli felt a headache when watching this scene!

"What are you doing?"

The crowd was startled by the sudden voice and turned around. When they saw Shen Chenli, they all bowed and greeted him.

"Ajin, come quickly and see what shocking thing your princess has done again!"

With the words "your princess", Shen Chenli's brows relaxed and he pushed the wheelchair forward.

Looking down, I saw a pile of ice cubes in a wooden basin. It was hot and half of the ice cubes had melted!

"The prince is here?"

Yu Tingwan came out of the room and saw Shen Chenli was there too. She was not surprised at all. Anything that happened in this mansion would surely not escape Shen Chenli's eyes.

"If the princess feels hot, have someone go to the ice house and get some more ice."

Yu Tingwan was stunned. He didn’t know?

No one expected that Butler Chen, who ran away so quickly, did not explain things clearly to the prince!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Shen Chenli felt that things might not be what he thought.

"Hey Jin, this isn't ice from the ice store, this is ice made by the princess herself!"

Made it?

Shen Chenli was also stunned. How could ice be made in this hot summer?

"Yeah! Otherwise, why are we staring at it? To watch the ice melt?"

That's so boring!

Shen Chenli looked down at the basin again and saw that after a short while, the amount of water in the basin had decreased a lot.

It turned out that it was not half melted, but half solidified. Now the ice block looked much larger than what he had just seen.

"Didn't I take a lot of Glauber's salt from the pharmacy? That's what it's made of."

Yu Tingwan explained, and then said: "In fact, it is not necessary to use Glauber's salt, saltpeter will also work, both can be used to make ice."

"Isn't saltpeter used to make fireworks?"

Shen Chenli knew about this matter, but he didn't know that saltpeter could have such a use.

Speaking of fireworks, Yu Tingwan thought of a lot.

Well, not only can it make ice, and not only can it make fireworks, but it can also make black powder.

Wow, I found something to do again!

"Yes, you are right!"

Shen Chenli didn't understand why she was so excited when she heard about making fireworks!

Afterwards, Yu Tingwan brought another basin of water and demonstrated to Shen Chenli again how the ice cubes were made.

Shen Chenli watched the whole process in an instant. It was very simple, but also very shocking. You know, they dug cellars underground and stored ice by manpower in winter for use in summer.

The quantity is limited and it is reserved for nobles. If the news of making ice with saltpeter gets out, then... I'm afraid we'll be in trouble!

While eating the smoothie that Yu Tingwan had made, Shen Chenli naturally thought of a lot of things.

"This matter cannot be spread, Uncle Chen, block the news."

Although he believed that the palace was now as secure as an iron barrel, he had to block the news just in case.

Butler Chen responded and ran out with his smoothie to do some work!

"The princess really loves to do this kind of thing, which is amazing if it doesn't make a splash. I admire you!"

Song Shixu was really convinced this time. The snacks and clothes were fine, and he could accept innovation, but what happened today really shocked him.

Ice making! Making ice in the summer, if word gets out, it will change a lot.

Yu Tingwan accepted the compliment without any modesty.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to open a milk tea shop in the future, and I'm sure I'll need this ice. So, I'm afraid I'll have to use your status as a prince when the time comes."
