The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 113

[Chapter 113 Mung Bean Smoothie]

Physics

After a long time, Zhao Hao raised his eyes, looked at his master, and asked: “Master, can everything in the world be explained by physics?”

Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face and said: “Master What I teach you is only physics, and you need to understand the rest by yourself.”

I remember that my high school physics teacher in my previous life once said that physics is also a matter of understanding.

There is a natural reason for the existence of all things in the world. Whether it can be explained clearly using physics, scientists on the earth are still not sure, let alone him.

Therefore, all Fang Xiu can teach this little boy is to understand from a scientific perspective. The rest depends on his own understanding.

Zhao Hao looked at his master and then at the smoothie in the basin, obviously not understanding what Fang Xiu meant.

Fang Xiu no longer acted like a master, but happily ordered Bai Xiaochun to go to the kitchen to make some mung bean soup.

Mung bean soup is a common summer remedy in Chu State. It can effectively prevent heatstroke in the scorching heat of July, but the taste is slightly worse.

“Young Master”

After a while, Bai Xiaochun brought a bowl of mung bean soup, which was still steaming. It was obviously freshly cooked by the kitchen.

Fang Xiu reached out and took it, then took a larger bowl, poured the saltpeter smoothie into it, and then poured in the freshly cooked mung bean soup.

In no time, a bowl of mung bean smoothie was ready.

Fang Xiu couldn’t wait to take a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the taste is inferior to the various smoothies on earth, in this ancient time of backward productivity, it was already considered delicious.

Especially now, when the sun rises and a hot atmosphere begins to fill the air, a bowl of cold mung bean smoothie is simply refreshing and makes people feel extremely comfortable all over.

On the side, Bai Xiaochun saw this scene and knew that the young master was tinkering with some new things.

Just like the hot pot before, although he had only eaten it a few times in the hot summer, he still remembered the wonderful taste.

I have been looking forward to the summer passing away all day so that I can have hot hot pot again.

At this moment, looking at the cold mung bean smoothie, although he didn’t know what it tasted like, his throat still swallowed a few times involuntarily.

Fang Xiu tasted a few more mouthfuls, then handed the mung bean smoothie to his apprentice: “Try the mung bean smoothie made by my master.”

Mung bean smoothie?

Zhao Hao was slightly startled.

In fact, compared with other children of the same age, he is not that greedy.

First, because he was born in the royal family, he has tasted most of the delicacies in the world, and nothing can arouse his interest.

The second reason is due to his natural personality, and he is only curious about the novel things described in the book.

But when he saw the mung bean smoothie in his master’s hand, for some reason, he swallowed involuntarily.

“Thank you, Master.”

After taking a sip impatiently, Zhao Hao’s already bright eyes flashed, and he swallowed the whole small bowl of mung bean smoothie in a few mouthfuls.

Then, still a little unfinished, he looked at the bowl, then at his master, and blinked.

When Bai Xiaochun saw this scene, a look of regret appeared on his face.

Alas, I still couldn’t taste anything after all.

Fang Xiu smiled when he saw them like this.

After he finished laughing, he seemed to think of something again, looked at the empty bowl, and fell into silence.

After a moment, he raised his eyes, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and ordered: “These days, buy some more saltpeter, the more the better, and store it in a factory in the suburbs. Then find some trustworthy people and teach them how to make ice.” “

How to make ice? “

Bai Xiaochun was slightly startled, and then understood immediately.

It turns out that making ice is the result of saltpeter.

At first he thought it was because of the young master.

“Yes, Master.”

Bai Xiaochun nodded respectfully, and immediately went out to do some work.

Following the young master, he sees some things more clearly than before.

Although I haven’t tasted the mung bean smoothie, judging from Mr. Zhao’s expression, it is definitely delicious.

In the past, he would drink several bowls of mung bean soup a day during the scorching heat. Although it had a cooling and relieving effect, the texture and taste were much different.

Therefore, the key to this mung bean smoothie must be ice.

As long as there’s been a way to make ice, there’s been a way to make mung bean smoothie.

Summer has arrived. Although it has not reached the point of intense heat, it is almost here for the next few days. When the time comes, selling this mung bean smoothie at Chunfeng Tower will not attract diners to rush over.

Even if they don’t sell mung bean smoothie, but only ice, there are probably countless dignitaries lining up to grab it.

The task that the young master gave me was not to buy saltpeter or to recruit men, but to bring back countless silver!

With this in mind, Bai Xiaochun left.

In the yard, Fang Xiu started his experiment again.

Now it’s just smoothies, his goal is to make ice.

Smoothies can only be used to satisfy cravings, but ice has many uses.

If nothing else, on a hot summer day, it would be so comfortable to pile a few basins of ice cubes in the yard and let the breeze blow.

Zhao Hao watched Fang Xiu working in front of the iron basin and was quiet for a long time. Finally he couldn’t hold it back and asked again: “Master, even if ice is made from stone and water, what’s the use?”

Fang Xiu glanced at it. He glanced at it and said angrily: “Of course it’s to cool down. In a few days, the weather will get hotter and hotter. How can we survive without ice?”

Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: “But ice does not necessarily have to be made of stones and water. To make it, you just need to dig a cellar to store the ice in winter and use it when the heat is unbearable.”

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was slightly startled, stopped what he was doing, and looked at it. Zhao Hao, stop talking.

When Zhao Hao saw his master like this, he thought he had made some mistake and lowered his head subconsciously.

After a long time, Fang Xiu sighed.

Perhaps, this is called why not eat minced meat.

Although he studied the method of making ice just for himself, when he heard his apprentice’s words, he suddenly felt something and said: “You are right, ice cellars can indeed preserve ice.”

After hearing his master say that he was right, Zhao Hao He raised his head, looked at him, and asked puzzledly: “Since the disciple is right, why is the master frowning?”

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and said seriously: “You are right, but have you ever thought that in this world you can How many people can afford an ice cellar?

Let alone an ice cellar, even mung bean soup, which is ordinary in your eyes, is an extremely rare thing to relieve summer heat in the eyes of many people. “

Mung bean soup is extremely rare?”

Zhao Hao obviously didn’t expect his master to say such words, and looked puzzled.

Is there really anyone in the world who regards mung bean soup as a rare thing?

This is something very difficult to understand in the eyes of Zhao Hao, who has lived in fine clothes since he was a child.

Fang Xiu saw his expression, thought for a moment, and asked: “Did you know that even in the capital, there are many people who are half-clothed, not to mention mung bean soup, even a bite of steamed bun to survive is a luxury. “

Zhao Hao shook his head slightly and whispered: “Disciple I don’t know”
