The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Here, Ouyang Yunyao, along with a few maids, finally finished purchasing items on the street and returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Ouyang Yunyao bought tapioca flour, sugar and black tea, all of which were prepared for making milk tea in the afternoon.

Apart from hot pot, she doesn't know how to cook other dishes, let alone homemade milk tea. In her previous life, she spent most of her time in the army, and even when she occasionally went home, she didn't need to cook for herself.

Fortunately, Ouyang Yunyao has a versatile space! There are books, videos, and tutorials in the space! Just follow the instructions. Even if you can't do it well, you can write down the steps later and ask Granny Liu and Fatty to try. If that doesn't work, go to the hot pot restaurant tomorrow to ask the chef to see.

"It's too hot today," Ouyang Yunyao muttered softly. She was already sweating. In ancient times, people had to wear so many clothes in the summer, and there was no air conditioning or fans. She had to find some saltpeter to make ice quickly.

It is convenient to take saltpeter from the space, but taking too much may cause unnecessary trouble. In order to avoid trouble, you have to look for it. Where can you find saltpeter?

Ouyang Yunyao suddenly had an idea. She thought that there might be saltpeter in some corners. So she walked around her yard and really found that there was white powder in the corners of the yard and on the walls near the toilet. This was saltpeter and could be used!

Ouyang Yunyao asked Xiaocui and Xiafei to take the maids and servants in the courtyard to shovel the white powder in preparation for making ice cubes. Although these saltpeter were a drop in the bucket for mass ice making, it could at least cover her getting saltpeter from the space, right?

Ouyang Yunyao returned to her room, rested for a while, and then began to communicate with Jiji in the space, asking it to find a recipe for milk tea on the computer and print it out in traditional Chinese. Ouyang Yunyao took the printed paper and went to the small kitchen in the yard.

As soon as Ouyang Yunyao walked to the door of the small kitchen, her eyes were attracted by a few white smooth stones at the door of the kitchen. Her eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this saltpeter? This surprised her. Where did it come from?

Ouyang Yunyao asked Pang Ya in the kitchen, "Pang Ya, where did you get these stones at the door?"

When Pang Ya heard the princess' voice, she put down her work and ran to the door. Seeing that the princess was pointing at the white stones, she said, "Princess, I picked up these stones in the palace. I saw they were shiny and beautiful, so I picked them up. If you want to use them, take them. If not, I will pick up some more for you." Pang Ya was a little confused. Could this stone be a rare thing? Why was the princess a little excited when she saw this stone?

"Where in the palace are there such stones?"

"Princess, there are a lot of them on the hill over by the lake in the palace."

There is indeed a small hill behind the small lake in the palace, and there is a small pavilion on the hill. I never thought that there would be saltpeter there. Now the problem is solved! Ouyang Yunyao secretly rejoiced.

She patted Fatty's head and said, "You are busy first, I will go and take a look." Ouyang Yunyao didn't care about making milk tea, and flew towards the hill. Fatty was stunned when she saw the princess fly away.

An Ba and An Jiu in the dark didn't know what the princess was going to do, so they followed closely.

Ouyang Yunyao used her Qinggong skills to quickly reach the hill behind the small lake in Prince Jing's Mansion. You wouldn't know until you see it that the ground here is full of these stones!

This is too much, a little unbelievable. Don't they know that this is saltpeter? This hill may be a saltpeter mountain. An Ba and An Jiu who followed saw that Ouyang Yunyao just ran here to pick up stones. They looked at each other and were stunned. "Princess, are you here to pick up stones? What are these stones for?"

"These are good stones. Hurry up and bring me a few more."

"Yes, Princess." The two of them quickly picked it up.

While they were not paying attention, Ouyang Yunyao waved her hand and put a lot of saltpeter into the space. She also took a few pieces in her hand and said, "Okay, let's go! I'll go back and teach you how to make good things."

An Ba and An Jiu thought to themselves: "Is this stone a treasure? I've never heard of it! Is it a gem? It looks a bit like one!"

Ouyang Yunyao returned to Yunqing Courtyard and happily called Xiao Cui and the others over.

"Princess, is that enough? We shoveled all of this." Several people came over with some powder.

"No need to shovel, no need to shovel, hurry up and find a big hammer to smash these rocks."

A servant came with a sledgehammer. Wei Lei walked over and said, "Princess, this is easy. Let me do it." He took the sledgehammer from the servant and smashed it with one blow. A stone was instantly broken into pieces.

In a short while, all the stones were smashed.

Ouyang Yunyao closed the gate and began to teach them how to make ice cubes.

First, Ouyang Yunyao asked them to find two basins, one large and one small, and put the small basin inside the large basin and fill both basins with water. Then, Ouyang Yunyao began to add crushed stone powder to the large basin in a ratio of two parts water to one part saltpeter.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

"Haha, you'll know soon." Ouyang Yunyao kept the suspense.

No one knew what the princess was going to do, and they all stared at the two basins.

Gradually, some small water drops seeped out of the wooden basin, and white mist slowly rose from it. The water in the basin became colder and colder, and soon a cool breeze blew over.

The water in the basin froze into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone standing by stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open, totally unable to believe what they were seeing. How could the water freeze? Was it just a matter of adding some stone powder?

Wei Lei touched the newly formed ice with his hand and shouted, "This is real ice, it's really ice!"

The people around were very excited. They didn't expect the princess to make ice so easily! The princess is really amazing!

"Now we have ice, Princess. You can put a few more pieces in your room so it won't be so hot." Xiao Cui said excitedly.

"Well, this afternoon, you all make ice cubes here, and then you can put one in your room at night."

"Princess, this is great." Several girls clapped their hands happily. No maids or servants in the mansion had ever enjoyed such treatment. It was great to be with the princess!

"Princess, the ice cubes are ready. We need to send some to the hot pot restaurant quickly so that their business will be better." Xia Fei said.

"Fei'er is right."

"Princess, don't worry, leave it to us. We'll make more today and send some to the hot pot restaurant tomorrow morning." Wei Lei said excitedly.

"Okay, all of you stay here and follow Wei Lei's instructions to make ice cubes."

……

(The method of making ice cubes may not be correct, so be gentle, my dears!)
