The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute
Chapter 25 5 Wen Deposit
Father Mo, Mo Rao. Looking at the table filled with dishes, his eyes twitched.
Mo Rao took a deep breath, then said to his father: Dad, let's eat, since the young master ordered it, let's eat it. It's a waste not to eat it if you spend your own money.
Father Mo was so worried.
The father and daughter were not hungry at all. On the way, they ate the eggs prepared by Mo's mother.
Even though Mo Rao had eaten, he couldn't help but drool when he saw the table full of fish and meat. This kind of food is what people eat.
Eating steamed buns with wild vegetables all day is killing me.
Mo Rao picked up a bowl of white rice and started eating. White rice is still delicious!
This meat smells so good! In the end times, it's impossible to eat a bite of fresh meat.
But quick-frozen meat is still available, but it doesn't have the aroma of fresh meat.
Although Mr. Mo felt bad about the money, he couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food in front of him and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Both of them had full bellies but couldn't finish half of the meal, so Mo Rao called the waiter to pack up the food.
This bastard is such a piece of shit. He must have ordered so many dishes on purpose.
I can’t waste it, I must bring it back for my family to try.
Sir, we offer take-out lunch boxes. Do you want to bring your own or use ours?
Use the one you have, Mo Rao said.
"We need a 50-wen deposit for the lunch boxes here. When you return the boxes the next day, the deposit will be fully refunded," said the waiter.
"Okay, how much is it in total?" Mo Rao asked.
Sir, your total spending today is 50 taels and qian. Adding the wen deposit, the total is taels and qian and wen.
Father Mo was so distressed that he almost fainted.
Mo Rao took out twenty-six taels from her pocket and gave it to the waiter. Mo Rao did not show it on her face, but she had already cursed Li Lingye a thousand times in her heart.
Money! How much meat can you buy with twenty-five taels of silver?
People in later generations never experienced eating gold. But in ancient times, people did experience it. What does it mean to eat gold?
The waiter handed the packed lunch box and the change to Mo Rao.
Mo Rao took the lunch box and left the restaurant with Mo's father.
Originally, the father and daughter planned to rent an ox cart and travel back at night.
After searching around, no one was willing to take the job. The reason was simply that they were unwilling to travel at night.
This era was not like later times where lights were everywhere. The moon was dark and the wind was strong, which could be dangerous if you were not careful, so the driver was naturally reluctant to travel at night.
The father and daughter had no choice but to find an inn to stay in the city.
Mo Rao had originally planned to book two guest rooms, but after asking about the price, his father decided to just stay in the dormitory, which cost only 20 wen a night. A single room was five qian a night.
Mo Rao was worried about his father sleeping on the floor in a dormitory. After all, there were all kinds of people sleeping in a dormitory, and there would definitely be a lot of coughing and grinding of teeth. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to rest well. Finally, under Mu Rao's strong persuasion, Mo's father went to sleep on the floor in Mo Rao's room.
Mo Rao paid an extra twenty coins and asked the innkeeper for a set of bedding.
After they paid, the shopkeeper happily gave them an extra set of bedding.
Father Mo said worriedly, "What if these vegetables go bad? After all, we spent a lot of money on them. If they all go bad, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
That young man looks like a decent person, but he's really evil! He treated us to a meal and asked us to pay. He didn't intend to pay and ordered such a large table. It's obvious that he did it on purpose. He's screwed us over so badly by doing this.
Mo Rao agreed and said, "He's definitely not a good person. From now on, if we see him, we should stay away from him. Even if we can't afford to offend him, we can still hide from him."
Mo Rao was also afraid of this person and really didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. After all, it was such a shameful thing. She really didn't want her family to know, so it was best not to run into him again. It was so annoying.
Mo Rao looked at the lunch box in her hand, worried that the food would go bad.
Dad, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon.
So Mo Rao went to several clinics and bought some saltpeter.
There wasn't much saltpeter in the clinics back then, as it was rarely used. I had to go to several clinics to get some.
Although the weather is still cool now, it won't matter if the meat is kept for a day.
But Mo Rao was still a little worried. After all, this was all silver! She was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. She had to let her family have a taste of it anyway.
So Mo Rao planned to make some ice cubes. This way, even if they were left overnight, they wouldn't spoil.
Start by grinding the saltpeter crystals into a fine powder and then spread it in a large basin or container.
Then, water is slowly poured over the saltpeter powder. The saltpeter reacts chemically with the water, absorbing a large amount of heat and causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly. As the temperature drops, the water begins to freeze, gradually forming a layer of transparent ice.
To get more ice, Mo Rao continued to add water and saltpeter, repeating the process until the water in the container was completely frozen into ice.
Father Mo's mouth was shaped into an O due to shock.
I stared at the ice in the basin, unable to believe my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and tried to blink again. Blinked again. I rubbed my eyes again and tried to blink again.
That's right, what did he see? Ice. Ice that didn't belong in this season.
How did his daughter do it?
Could it be that his daughter is a fairy from heaven? She must have magical powers to turn water into ice.
Father Mo, the more he thought about it, the more mysterious it became. He almost knelt down to kowtow to his daughter. A god! This was definitely something only a god could do.
Mo Rao looked at her father's expression with amusement.
"Dad, what's that look on your face? My jaw's about to drop to the ground. Making ice isn't that difficult."
It's very simple and easy to get started, Mo Rao said easily.
Father Mo still didn't believe it. How could this be possible?
Really, Dad, if you don’t believe me, try it some other day.
This is very simple, the royal family and nobles have already known it. Why are they hiding it from us ordinary people?
Really? Father Mo asked doubtfully.
Of course, I won’t get any money even if I cheat you! Mo Rao said with a smile.
However, Dad, not many people know this method.
Who knows, maybe one day we can make some money using this method.
Yes, yes, yes... Dad won't tell. Dad promises not to tell.
Mo Rao placed the lunch box directly on the copper basin. With the cool air on the ice, the food in the lunch box would not spoil.
