Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

When Lin Yuxi went to pay her respects in the morning, she saw ice cubes in Liu's house to cool off. She heard that some ice cubes had been distributed to various courtyards in the past two days, but why didn't they reach her courtyard?

After hearing this, Lu Yun said, "It's not hot, it's only June. I don't know how hot it will be in July or August."

Lin Yuxi felt even hotter after hearing this. The summer was still long, and if she didn't get too hot, it would be strange. She knew that there was little ice in ancient times, and it was stored from winter to summer. One piece of ice cost two or three taels of silver. Now the shop was still in deficit, and she felt unwilling to pay for ice herself. Lin Yuxi hated Liu Shi so much that her teeth itched, and she was thinking of ways to get some ice. It was really hot!

Just as I was thinking about it, Cuizhu came in from outside and bowed, "Miss, the madam sent someone to bring two pieces of ice."

After hearing this, Yu Linyuxi hurriedly asked someone to carry some ice into the house. Looking at the large ice cubes that were emitting cold air, she grinned. This was great. If Liu didn't send them again, she would go and get them herself. Although there were only two pieces, she would just make do with them for now.

Lin Yuxi hurriedly moved closer to take a look. She didn't know whether the ice was clean or not. Otherwise, she could use it to cool down the ice or make ice cream or something like that. If she sold it in the store, she would definitely make money. She started thinking about it again.

She asked someone to break the big ice into pieces and put them in basins, which were placed in the four corners of the room. The remaining ice was given to Lvyun and the others to share. They were so moved that their eyes were red, especially Lvyun. She had just annoyed the girl, but the girl did not argue with her and gave her ice to cool her down.

Lin Yuxi curled the corners of her mouth and said, "If you all get heatstroke, someone can help me fan you." After that, she used a stick to poke the ice basin, dug a small hole, and buried the Tremella fuciformis porridge in it.

Although Lin Yuxi said this, Lvyun and Cuiping knew in their hearts that Lin Yuxi really cared about them. She even weighed the ice cubes she had finally obtained. They were lucky enough to take the opportunity to hide in the house and get some cool air. The lady even shared the ice cubes with them. If it were another master, who would care about the lives of these little maids?

Of course Lin Yuxi had no idea that the few pieces of ice she casually distributed moved the two maids to tears of gratitude. What she was concerned about now was the business of the shop.

At this moment, Cuizhu came back from outside with a hot body. As soon as she entered the house, she felt much cooler and bowed to Lin Yuxi. Lin Yuxi asked anxiously without waiting for her to speak: "How is the business of the shop?"

Cuizhu could naturally hear her urgency, and she felt a little guilty. She shook her head and said, "Business picked up a bit in the few days after the orders were sent, but as time went on, fewer people bought. Also, it's hot now, and the ingredients can't be kept. They smell a bit after being left overnight."

When the weather is hot, the appetite will decrease. What's more, hamburgers are expensive, and not many people are willing to buy them. Now the price has fallen to the bottom.

Lin Yuxi's heart sank when she heard this. It seemed that she was wrong. She bent her fingers and tapped lightly on the table. After thinking for a while, she wrote a note to Cuizhu: "Take it to Zheng Laoshi and ask him to ask if he has these things. If he does, he will prepare some for you to bring back."

"That shop..." Cuizhu took the note, but she was thinking about the business of the shop in her heart. In fact, she felt guilty towards Lin Yuxi. It was she who introduced Zheng Laoshi to the girl. Now, not only could he not help the girl, but he also made her worry about the business of the shop.

Lin Yuxi interrupted her, "If the ingredients are spoiled, just throw them away. Don't be reluctant to throw them away. If you get sick from eating them, it will be a big problem. The shop will be open every day as usual, but you should buy less of those ingredients. You have to hurry up and do the things I asked you to do. You can take a rest for a while and then make another trip. Thank you for your hard work."

Cuizhu waved her hands and said it was not hard, it was what she was supposed to do. After Lin Yuxi finished explaining the matter, she saw that the Tremella porridge was almost frozen, so she picked it up and scooped a spoonful into her mouth. She felt a cool breeze emanating from inside to outside, which was very refreshing. The bowl of Tremella porridge was soon finished.

Cuizhu had rested enough, so she quickly got up to do what Lin Yuxi had asked her to do. Lin Yuxi also continued to pick up her needle and thread. This time, Luyun had learned her lesson and didn't dare to say a word.

More than half an hour had passed, and the purse was not embroidered much, but a few stitches had been done, and the fingers were bleeding. Luyun and Cuiping felt very distressed when they saw it.

Cuizhu also came back at this time, holding a small bag in her hands. After opening the bag, Cuizhu stood far away, fearing that the heat from her body would pass on to the girl.

Lin Yuxi grinned when she saw it. She had originally wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to actually buy it, and she was very excited.

Cuiping looked at it for a few times and didn't know what it was, but seeing the girl smiling so happily, it must be a good thing, so she asked curiously: "Girl, what is this?"

Lin Yuxi's eyebrows curved, and she said mysteriously: "This thing is used to make ice cubes."

The maids all widened their eyes after hearing this, with a look of disbelief on their faces. How could such ice be made?

Lin Yuxi smiled proudly and asked Cuizhu to fetch a basin of clean water. Lin Yuxi stood there directing the maids to start working.

The principle of ice making is very simple. When saltpeter is dissolved in water, it absorbs a large amount of heat, which can cool the water to the point of freezing.

The principle is very simple, but it is a little difficult to operate. Especially since the ice that Lin Yuxi wants to make is not just for cooling down, but also for eating, she has to be extremely careful. It took a long time for several people to make a piece of ice. Several maids were also very excited. The girl is really amazing. She can actually turn water into ice!

Several people looked at Lin Yuxi with admiration in their eyes, and their eyes were full of stars, shining brightly, and they were amazed.

Seeing that they looked at her as if she were a god, Lin Yuxi slapped them one by one, "Read more books, knowledge is power, you know, it's terrible to be uneducated."

The little girls grimaced in pain, but dared not say a word. The girl could turn water into ice, and they couldn't afford to offend her!

With this successful example, things went much more smoothly afterwards, but Lin Yuxi didn't plan to do too much. She only made three pieces and would use the rest slowly.

Lin Yuxi asked Cuiping to bring the remaining Tremella fuciformis porridge, and then crushed the ice with a clean stick and put it into the Tremella fuciformis porridge. She gave each of them a bowl, and they were so happy that they were grinning.

Originally they were afraid that they would get an upset stomach, but since the ice was made by themselves and was not mixed with impurities like the ones sent by their wives, they ate it with confidence. They just held it in their mouths and felt instantly cooled down.

Lin Yuxi told Cuizhu to teach Zheng Laoshi how to make ice tomorrow. It was getting late today and Cuizhu had already run twice, so she asked her to go early tomorrow morning and ask Zheng Laoshi to buy all the fruits in the morning and start making iced syrup in the afternoon. She also asked Cuizhu to help so that the two grown men wouldn't be too busy.
