Transformed into a peasant girl, seduced men and raised children to bring prosperity to the whole fa

"Hehehe...are you all scared? Do you think Nian Nian has really turned into a silly, crying child?"

The little guy held his face in his hands, without a trace of tears on his face.

He is just a naughty ghost.

Shen Zhi flicked his forehead with her finger, "You little rascal, now you dare to make fun of us and even pretend to cry."

"That just shows you don't understand me. I'm not the type to cry at all!"

"You're getting proud of me."

"uh-huh!"

Shen Zhi couldn't help but chuckle.

Everyone laughed too.

“Hehehe…Mother, mother…”

Seeing his servile attitude, Shen Zhi became defensive, "What's wrong?"

"That's right... I still want to have another glass of lemonade... just one glass, what do you think?"

"I don't think so."

Shen Zhi knew it! This naughty kid is really good at pretending to be cute.

"Oh, I don't really want to drink it. The main thing is... isn't this supposed to be sold in the restaurant? We should really try it."

"No."

The little guy lowered his brows and gave up.

Chu Jinzhou tilted his head and moved closer to him, "It's okay, I still have half a cup, I'll give you some later."

The gloomy little face suddenly brightened up.

Shen Zhi shook his head helplessly and walked into the kitchen.

In fact, there are a few glasses of lemonade in the kitchen.

She brought out a few cups and said, "Bring the cups here."

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly and they guessed what she was going to do.

Soon, Shen Zhi poured a little more lemonade into each of their glasses.

"Don't push your luck any further. If you drink this, it'll be gone."

"Oh! Mommy, why are you so nice?!"

Chu Jinnian was so happy that his face was beaming with joy. He just said that his mother couldn't stand him acting like a spoiled brat!

Everyone drank in small sips.

Feeling the cool lemon water, the heat in the body was extinguished.

Everyone's eyes turned around, looking at Shen Zhi curiously.

Shen Zhi sat aside with his eyes narrowed, and naturally noticed everyone's gazes.

Finally, someone couldn't help themselves and asked.

"Mom, why is there ice in this lemonade? How can there be ice in such hot weather?" Chu Jinnian asked.

Shen Zhi: "I can't tell you that."

“…Okay…”

She didn't say anything, and everyone was shocked, wondering if she had stored a lot of ice during the winter.

But how is it stored?

Could this ice last that long? For months without melting?

With ice, you can make a lot more drinks.

Every kind of fruit can be made into juice and ice cream.

You know, there is an abundance of milk here...

The little ones were drinking lemonade, while Shen Zhi was thinking about what he could do with ice?

"Mom, while Brother Shitou and the others are here, can we go get some roasted potatoes?"

After drinking the lemonade, everyone had nothing to do.

Shen Zhi: "If you don't mind the heat, go ahead."

The little ones swarmed into the kitchen.

I picked a few round potatoes and buried them in the fire pit.

Chu Jinnian turned his head and looked around.

Finally he saw the wooden barrel for making ice.

He walked over quietly and saw that the large bucket containing saltpeter was already frozen.

His eyes widened and he reached out to touch it. It was really ice!

There was a small bucket placed in the middle of the big bucket, and the water in the small bucket also began to freeze.

"Niannian, what are you looking at?" Chu Jinzhou walked beside him.

Chu Jinnian pulled his arm and pointed at the bucket to show him, but tried to suppress his excited voice, "Brother, brother! Look quickly, it's ice!"

Chu Jinzhou looked at it carefully and opened his mouth in shock.

So... this ice cube was not hidden last year, but was made by my mother? !

Chu Jinzhou's breathing trembled, and he quickly hid the bucket inside.

The potatoes buried in the fire pit will take a while to eat.

It was very hot in the kitchen and everyone couldn't stay there, so they all ran out soon.

Chu Jinzhou and Chu Jinnian were walking stealthily at the back. Mu Mu noticed them and moved closer to them.

"Brother, Nian Nian, what happened to you two? Why are you walking so slowly?"

Chu Jinnian put his arm around his shoulders and said, "It's something mother didn't tell us."

"what?"

"The ice we just ate was made by mother! She didn't hide it secretly!"

"What? Ice can be made?" Mumu's heart shook violently. No one dared to believe such words.

"Well, we all saw it anyway."

As he spoke, Chu Jinnian looked at Chu Jinzhou and said, "Brother, why is there a small bucket inside the big bucket?"

Chu Jinzhou thought for a moment and said, "I think the ice in the bucket outside must not be eaten. If you want to eat it, you have to eat the ice in the small bucket."

Chu Jinnian thought about it and understood, "So that's how it is..."

Mumu scratched his head, looking confused. He didn't see Bing and had no idea what they were talking about.

Chu Jinzhou suddenly looked at him, "Mumu, if you see ice cubes at home, don't eat them or touch them."

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing the three of them standing at the door of the main room, muttering to each other for a long time with their heads against each other, Shen Zhi guessed that they probably saw Bing and were talking about it.

"Zhou Zhou, the three of you come here."

The three little ones then ran towards her.

Shen Zhi: "If you little guys see ice at home, don't eat it. It's poisonous."

Everyone was shocked.

"But we just ate." Niu Niu was a little scared.

"The ice you eat is made by freezing poisonous ice in a wooden barrel. It's edible."

Everyone nodded hesitantly, not knowing whether they understood or not.

Shen Zhi: "Anyway, just don't move when you see me."

The little ones are very obedient. As long as they know that something cannot be touched, they will never touch it.

Before long, the potatoes in the fire pit were cooked, and the little ones squatted under the shade of the tree to eat them.

Shen Zhi was carrying a basket of potatoes and started peeling them in the yard.

It was easy to peel the new potatoes, and I finished a whole basket of them in no time.

She cut all the potatoes into thin slices, soaked them in water to soak out all the starch in the potatoes, then blanched them in hot water. Then she put the potatoes in a large winnowing basket, spread them out evenly, and dried them in the sun.

"Mom, let me pour the water for you."

Chu Jinzhou picked up the water used to soak the potatoes and was about to pour it when Shen Zhi quickly took it over.

"No, no, no! This water cannot be poured out! There are good things in it!"

"Ah?" Chu Jinzhou was puzzled for a moment, "Isn't it dirty in here?"

"The potatoes were washed and soaked, how could they be dirty?"

Shen Zhi rubbed his little head and said, "There are good things in here, wait a minute."

The other little ones all came over curiously.

How can a pot of turbid water be a good thing?

Shen Zhi didn't explain to them and continued to blanch and dry the remaining potatoes.
