Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich

"What happened?" Old Lady Yun looked at the two people hugging each other tightly with a puzzled look on her face, frowned slightly, and asked anxiously.

"Grandma, Mom and Dad, please come and have a look!" Tiantian shouted at the people not far away with her voice so loud that it seemed to penetrate the sky.

Hearing Tiantian's cry, the men hurried over. When they got closer and saw what was inside the basin, Old Lady Yun's heart trembled suddenly, as if someone had tugged at her hard, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout her body.

Then, her eyes widened in anger, and she pointed at Yun Tingshu with a trembling finger, and began to scold him non-stop, "You prodigal son! Don't you know how expensive this ice is? You actually bought it and then just casually put it in a bowl and wasted it!"

Facing his mother's rebuke, Yun Tingshu panicked. He waved his hands repeatedly and quickly pulled Tiantian in front of him as his own amulet. He said to the old woman Yun very quickly, "Mom, please don't rush to do anything. Let me explain it to you."

At this time, Tiantian blinked her big watery eyes and said in a baby voice: "Grandma, you misunderstood my uncle. This ice is not bought."

When everyone heard Tiantian's words, they showed expressions of astonishment on their faces, and their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in them.

Yun Tingluo stared at Tiantian in disbelief and stammered, "Tian...Tiantian, are you saying that you and your uncle made this ice together?"

Tiantian raised her cute little head slightly, her eyes revealing undisguised pride, and then nodded vigorously.

However, even though she appeared so confident, the people around her were still skeptical and seemed to have reservations about what she said.

Faced with this situation, Tiantian sighed helplessly, turned to look at her uncle beside her, and motioned him to scrape out the saltpeter from the large basin placed nearby.

The uncle understood and sprang into action. As the saltpeter was scraped out bit by bit, everyone's eyes were fixed on this seemingly ordinary basin that was about to undergo a miraculous transformation.

Tiantian then directed Yun Tingshu to skillfully demonstrate how to use the saltpeter to make ice. Tiantian performed every step and every movement methodically and accurately.

When the entire ice-making process was completed, all the members of the Yun family present fell into a brief silence.

They stared with wide eyes at the crystal clear ice cubes in the basin in disbelief, as if time had frozen at that moment.

A moment later, someone broke the silence first, and suddenly a burst of ecstatic laughter broke out. This laughter was like a surging torrent, instantly sweeping away the previous doubts and hesitations.

The first person to react was Old Lady Yun. Her wrinkled face now bloomed with a smile as bright as a spring flower.

She quickly walked over to Tiantian, grabbed her hand, and kept praising her: "Good child, you are such a smart child! With your idea, we won't have to spend a lot of money to buy ice cream outside anymore!"

The rest of the Yun family gathered around, as if awakened from a dream. A flurry of discussion erupted. Some marveled at Tiantian's cleverness, while others began to ponder how to best utilize this ice-making method.

"Tiantian is so smart! Look at the weather now, it's getting hotter day by day, and the restaurant's business is not as good as before. But fortunately, Tiantian has a brilliant idea and can make this ice, which really solves our urgent needs!" Xiangdong was looking at Tiantian with joy on his face, his eyes full of admiration.

Tiantian smiled at Xiangdong and said softly, "Second Aunt, this method of making ice is actually very simple. In the future, you might want to place more ice cubes in the restaurant. This way, not only will the guests feel cool and comfortable, but we can also add a little ice cubes to the cold dishes, which will surely have a unique flavor."

Xiangdong nodded repeatedly after hearing this and was even more fond of Tiantian: "Tiantian is really smart. With this ice-making method, not only did it help your uncle, but also benefited your second aunt a lot."

As she spoke, she took Tiantian's little hand and patted it gently, "Tiantian, Second Auntie must thank you very much."

Tiantian quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "Second aunt, please don't be so polite. We are family after all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Lady Yun beside him also echoed with a smile: "Yes, yes, we shouldn't say such polite words. As a family, we work together, and our lives will surely become more and more prosperous."

At this moment, Old Man Yun, who had been sitting silently nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Haha, I never thought that at this age, I would still have the opportunity to enjoy ice cubes that were originally only available to the rich."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together by a smile, but his eyes never left the precious piece of ice in front of him.

When Tiantian heard her grandfather say this, her petite figure rushed to her grandfather's side like a gust of wind.

She held onto her grandfather's wrinkled yet still warm and strong hands tightly, blinking her bright eyes as she said in a delicate voice, "Grandpa, you're not old at all! Whatever you want, just tell Tiantian. Tiantian has magical powers. She can make things appear for you in a snap, just like a magic trick!"

After hearing Tiantian's childish words, Old Man Yun couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his hearty laughter seemed to pierce the sky.

He couldn't help but feel fond of her, so he stretched out his broad palm and gently rubbed Tiantian's already messy hair.

"Oh my, our Tiantian is really the little lucky star that God specially sent to our Yun family to save us!" Grandpa Yun praised with a smile on his face.

However, Tiantian shook her head seriously and retorted: "Grandpa, Tiantian didn't fall from the sky. Tiantian was born after my mother carried her in the womb for ten months with great difficulty." Her serious look caused everyone present to burst into laughter again.

At this moment, Old Lady Yun looked at the sky and said, "All right, all right. It's getting late. Fourth Brother, go get a chisel and break up the ice in this big basin. Then put some in each room so everyone can get a good night's sleep."

Yun Tingshu, who was standing aside, quickly responded, "I know, Mom. I'll get the chisel right away." Then he turned and walked towards the utility room.

Yun Tingshu hurriedly found a sharp chisel and carefully moved the large basin full of ice to the center of the yard.

Yun Tingshu held the chisel tightly in both hands and hit the ice hard again and again. With a crisp sound, the originally huge ice block was gradually divided into small ice blocks of uniform size.

After completing this work, Yun Tingshu was exhausted and sweating, but he didn't have time to rest. He hurriedly picked up the small ice cubes and delivered them to each room in order according to the number of rooms.

Every time he entered a room, he would gently place a few cubes of ice and remind the people in the room to use them properly.

At this time, Mr. Yun, who had been observing quietly nearby, noticed that there were still quite a few ice cubes left in the basin.

He thought to himself that there was no way to use up all the ice tonight, and it would be a shame to waste it.

So he turned to his eldest son and said, "Big brother, pick some ice and take it to your uncle's house. It's so hot, they might need it."

When Yun Tingluo heard his father's instructions, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Dad, don't worry, I'll send it right away."

After saying that, he quickly picked out some good quality ice cubes from the basin, put them into the basket, and then strode towards his uncle's house.

The old lady Yun, who was standing aside, first looked at the old man Yun who was speaking, and then she unconsciously thought of the Mu family.

She thought to herself, the Mu family is a wealthy family with great wealth and power. Maybe they already have their own ice cellar at home, so they will not be short of ice.

Thinking this way, Old Lady Yun finally decided not to send ice to the Mu family.

At this moment, Old Lady Yun suddenly raised her voice and sternly addressed everyone present: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about our ice-making today! If word gets out and people learn we have this ability, we'll be in big trouble!"

After hearing this, everyone gathered around and nodded solemnly, indicating that they would keep the secret.

Seeing everyone's serious attitude and firm commitment, Old Lady Yun nodded with satisfaction, then waved her hand to signal everyone to disperse and return to their rooms to rest.

As night falls, everything is silent.

Moonlight streamed into the house through the window, illuminating the cool ice cubes.

Those lying in bed felt the slightest bit of coolness, their hearts filled with emotion. The ice was like a spring of fresh air on a summer day, bringing endless comfort and tranquility to the unbearably hot night.

Some people murmured softly, thanking God for the gift, while others had already fallen asleep sweetly in this cool atmosphere...
