"Shen girl, what are you doing with this? Are you not feeling well? You can't just eat this casually."
Shen Zhi shook her head, "I'm not sick, I just want to take it back for use."
The old doctor frowned and said, "You can't take it orally. This thing can only be taken in small amounts in combination with other medicinal herbs."
"understood."
Shen Zhi smiled and walked out of the pharmacy carrying a basket of saltpeter.
When she got home, she locked herself in the kitchen and tinkered with something.
Chu Jinzhou and the other two wanted to see what she was doing, but she refused to let them.
The three of them crept up to the window and peeked in cautiously.
Shen Zhi: "...You three! You are not listening anymore, are you?"
The three little ones shuddered and ran away immediately.
Soon he lay down on the recliner again, pretending to be calm and composed.
Shen Zhi glanced at them through the window and said, "If you three dare to peek again, I will spank you!"
"No! What are you looking at? Who is looking at it?" Chu Jinnian denied it.
Mumu: "That's right! We're not going to peek, we're just looking to see if anyone needs our help."
"No." Shen Zhi said bluntly.
Three little ones: "..."
Shen Zhi continued to be busy.
After a while, she heard Chu Jinnian calling her, "Mom, can we drink lemonade today? It's so hot and thirsty..."
Shen Zhi: "Wait a while. If you are thirsty, drink some water and pick some fruits to eat. Give a basket of fruits to Atu and Abei."
When the three brothers heard this, they knew there was work to do, so they immediately found baskets and started picking fruit.
Most of the basket is filled with nectarines, and the remaining half is filled with cherries.
After picking the fruits, they said goodbye to Shen Zhi and went to deliver the fruits.
Shen Zhi: "When you come back, call Shitou and the others over."
"it is good!"
The children went out, and Shen Zhi looked down and watched the water slowly freeze.
Ice cubes made directly from saltpeter are not edible, so she put a bucket of water in the water with saltpeter added.
The water with saltpeter froze, and the water in the wooden barrel gradually became cold, and soon a layer of ice chips formed.
She curled the corners of her mouth. She didn't expect that making ice was easier than she thought.
Leaving the water in the barrel to remain cold, she picked several lemons in the space.
Slice the lemon thinly and place in a wooden cup.
The wooden cup is specially made for drinking beverages. It is large and deep.
Add rock sugar into the cup and pound it vigorously with a wooden pestle to bring out the lemon flavor and juice and mix them with the rock sugar.
During the pounding process, the rock sugar breaks up and gradually melts.
Next, add the spiritual spring water with ice chips and stir evenly.
Shen Zhi let out a breath and took a sip of lemonade.
It's cool and refreshing, with the unique scent of lemon, and it seems like the heat is not so bad in an instant.
Shen Zhi drank the entire glass of lemonade in no time.
She continued to pound the lemons, and the little ones returned.
Shen Zhi looked out the window and saw a group of little kids following the three little ones.
Xiaobao held Chu Jinzhou's hand tightly and jumped up and down.
Shitou pulled Sanya.
"Niannian, did you specially invite us to come and play?"
"Are all the fruits in your house ripe? Ours are ripe too! So sweet!"
Everybody was chattering.
"No, it was my mother who asked me to call you here. Maybe she wants to make us something delicious!"
"Really?"
Shen Zhi chuckled and shouted: "Really!"
"Auntie!"
A group of little people ran to the window in unison, "Aunt, what delicious food did you make? We can't smell anything!"
"Do you want our help?"
"No, just sit and play for a while, it will be ready soon."
The little ones sat obediently at the stone table in the yard, while Xiaobao and Sanya temporarily occupied the lounge chairs.
The two of them were lying on the recliner, you kicking me and I pulling you, it looked like they were about to fight, but they were giggling in their mouths.
No one cared about it.
After a while, Shen Zhi came out with a tray of lemonade.
"It's hot today, let's each have a glass of lemonade."
"lemonade?"
Shi Tou and his friends had never drunk lemonade before, so they all looked curious.
But before they had time to be curious for long, they were all so shocked that they were speechless.
"Mother!!!"
Chu Jinnian screamed, "Oh my! Am I dreaming? I seem to see ice!"
His eyes were almost sticking to the rim of the wooden cup. As soon as he got closer to the cup, a cool breeze blew in his face.
When everyone heard this, they all came over.
The two little ones on the recliner jumped down in a hurry and almost fell down.
"Ice?! Where's the ice? Let me see!"
"I want to see it too!"
Xiaobao stretched out his little hand and carefully touched the cup; it was cool.
Wooden objects do not conduct heat well and cool air is transferred slowly, so they do not feel particularly cold to the touch.
Glancing at the lemonade, there was no ice to be seen either.
“No…”
Chu Jinnian didn't want to watch anymore, so he just picked up the cup and took a sip.
In an instant, a refreshing coolness blooms in your mouth.
He was stunned, his eyes widened for a moment, "It's cold! It's really cold! Hurry up and drink it!!"
After saying that, he continued to gulp down the drink.
When everyone heard this, they picked up a cup and tried to drink it.
Everyone was stunned by this drink.
"Ice... I drank the ice! It melted in my mouth!" Xiaobao said excitedly.
"Me too!" Mumu exhaled happily, "So cold! So delicious! Iced lemonade is the best!"
They all thought it was even better than last night!
It's simply delicious!
"Wow!! It's so delicious!! I feel so cool! Not hot at all!" San Ya jumped several times excitedly.
"Who said it wasn't?!" Chu Jinnian muttered.
Shen Zhi looked at them with a smile and kindly reminded them, "You can only drink this one cup, so take it easy."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone froze.
After realizing what was happening, Chu Jinnian quickly looked at the lemonade in his own cup, and then at others'.
He noticed that everyone else's cups still had half full, but he alone had less than half left. Somehow, tears just started falling.
"Mother! Why are you telling me this now? I...I've almost finished...my lemonade...oops..."
He instantly turned into a little bitter gourd, "Mother... wuwuwu..."
Shen Zhi would not be fooled by him, "This is icy, you can't drink too much, it's good enough for you to drink this one cup."
"Mother...you are so cruel...wuwuwu..."
After crying for a while, he quickly took another sip to comfort himself, and then continued crying.
Shen Zhi: "Chu Niannian! Look at what you have accomplished! Stop crying!"
The little guy sobbed a little, "You are so cruel that you don't even let me cry..."
"Chu-nian-nian-"
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry! I'm just teasing you!"
He wiped his tears in panic, "Why did you take it seriously?"
