Chapter 279 How to deal with it
So that's what it was.
Song Qingci thought something big had happened in the Moon-Showing Tower.
It's summer now, so it's normal that the Malatang business is having difficulties.
In modern times, there is also the magic tool of air conditioning to adjust the temperature. So the hot pot and skewers business is better in summer. It is a kind of enjoyment to eat delicious food and sweat while enjoying the air conditioning.
But in Dachen, there is no such opportunity.
A fan is the most popular tool for cooling off. However, even if a fan leaves an afterimage, the cooling effect it can bring is very limited.
Families like them who have ice cellars at home can use the ice cubes stored in winter, but the ice cubes are not durable in summer. And they use less and less.
"I have no other options, so I came to ask the young lady for advice." Shopkeeper Zheng really tried seriously, but there was really no solution.
Seeing the sales volume decreasing day by day, he was getting anxious and had no other choice.
"It's okay, Manager Zheng. Ask Yin Ling to come back after you go back. I have a new dish to teach her. Once she learns it, the crisis of Moon Viewing Tower can be solved." Song Qingci was confident.
"Yes. I will go back and tell Miss Yinling right away!"
The business was over, and Manager Zheng didn't want to stay any longer. He wanted to tell Miss Yinling and ask her to hurry back. The sooner this was learned, the sooner the Moon Viewing Tower could return to normal.
"Yinxing, go find Feng Yi and tell him that I have something to ask him." Song Qingci thought about it and decided that what she was going to do next had to be done by someone she could trust.
Whether Feng Yi is with Shan Li or with her, he is very good at doing things. And from the daily interactions, he is still a trustworthy person.
"Yes, I will go right away." Yinxing took the order and left.
Feng Yi was not on duty today, so he stayed in his room to rest.
Yin Xing looked for him in Chixiao Courtyard but couldn't find him, so she went to the study again. It was Feng San who told her where Feng Yi was.
After thanking him, Yinxing hurriedly ran to Fengyi's room.
These guards usually stay by their masters' side when they are on duty, and they follow them closely. Only when they are not on duty can they return to their rooms to rest.
Because Yinxing was in a hurry, she didn't even knock on the door and just rushed into Fengyi's room.
But what comes into view? !
It looks like a half-naked man!
''ah---!''
Yinxing reacted and turned around and ran out while screaming.
Feng Yi was also interrupted by the sudden appearance of Silver Star while he was changing his clothes. He stood there in confusion, not knowing what to do next.
"You, why don't you close the door when you change clothes!" Yin Xing's complaining voice came from outside the door.
Her eyes! They're dirty! Woo woo ┭┮﹏┭┮
Feng Yi felt very wronged, "Why didn't I close the door? My door was closed, and you broke in by yourself! I didn't blame you for not knocking!"
Feng Yi quickly put on the rest of his clothes, and felt that he was unlucky today. Otherwise, how could he be scolded for no reason without even leaving the house?
Now it was Yinxing's turn to be silent. It seemed like it was really like this, she was just looking for someone, and in a hurry, she really broke into someone else's room without knocking.
The extremely embarrassed Yin Xing waited for a long while before saying softly, "Well, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was reckless."
There is no shame in doing something wrong, just apologize.
Her attitude calmed Feng Yi's originally very irritable heart down instantly.
"Ahem." Feng Yi tugged at the corner of his clothes, "It's okay. I don't blame you."
He had no intention of blaming a little girl. He was a grown man, so he could just watch her changing clothes, and it wouldn't cost him any more meat.
"The young lady wants to see you. She wants you to go see her right away!" Yin Xing felt very embarrassed now and wanted to leave quickly. After shouting this through the door, she immediately ran away.
She was afraid that if she ran too slowly, something would chase her.
Hearing that the young lady was looking for him, Feng Yi did not dare to delay. He threw aside the sweat-stained training clothes he had just changed out of, and then headed towards Chixiao Courtyard.
"Madam, are you looking for me?" When Feng Yi saw Song Qingci, she was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion writing something.
The person who fanned her was not Yinxing, but a second-class maid whose name he could not remember.
This Yinxing left before him, why hasn’t he come back yet?
"Yes, I have something to talk to you about." Song Qingci did not notice the abnormality of Feng Yi who was a little absent-minded.
She is writing down a recipe that she will use later.
"You go down first." Song Qingci put down his pen and said to the maid who was fanning him.
It’s better if as few people know what I’m going to say later on.
"Yes." The maid was very tactful and took away the used pens and ink.
"I wonder if Madam has anything you need from me?" Feng Yi knew his mistress well. Normally, she would never take the initiative to look for them when she had nothing to do.
"I want you to be responsible for this matter." Song Qingci handed a written prescription to Feng Yi.
"Saltpeter to make ice?" Feng Yi was very shocked when he saw what was written on the recipe. "Madam, can you make ice yourself?"
In his impression, if ice was to be used in the summer, an ice cellar had to be dug in the winter of the previous year to store the winter ice.
Because the size and location of the ice cellars vary, only 70% to 80% of the ice stored in the winter can be used in the summer. If it is not stored properly, only 40% to 50% can be used.
Therefore, ice is very precious and luxurious in this summer.
It is not seen in ordinary people’s homes.
"Of course you can." Compared to Feng Yi's surprise, Song Qingci was very calm.
It's just making ice with saltpeter, basic operation.
"You follow the instructions on the recipe. Pay attention to the details. Water and ice that come into direct contact with saltpeter are not edible. And saltpeter can be reused."
Song Qingci originally wanted to say that they could just pick a random shop on Liuhua Street to do this, but when she thought of the location of Liuhua Street, she changed her mind and said, "You'd better find a place that is closer to the Moon Viewing Tower and has better confidentiality to do this. The person you find should also be someone you trust."
"I understand!" Feng Yi is not stupid. This recipe for making ice in summer is worth a fortune.
If you master this, it means a steady flow of money into your account throughout the summer.
