"You guys wait here. I'll go get something. I'll be right back!”
Without waiting for the two to nod, Ying Pingan quickly ran out.
In this hot summer, the fastest way to relieve the heat was to eat ice cream and blow in the air conditioner.
But in this era, it was impossible to have air conditioning!
Even if the system gave him an air-conditioner, it would be useless without electricity!
However, Ice Cream could be studied!
Back then, the chemistry teacher had said that saltpeter could condense into ice after melting. They had even done such an experiment!
It just so happened that he was in charge of the Pill and Drug Administration now. He would go inside and get some saltpeter. He could make a popsicle to relieve the heat!
After a short while, Ying Pingan came back with saltpeter powder, cerealose, honey, and milk.
"What is Brother Wang doing with these?"
Ying Yuanman looked at the things on the stone table and asked in confusion.
Wang Jiaren didn't say anything, but she was really shocked.
She often came to the palace with Wang Ben, and he knew where the imperial kitchen and the Pill Supervisor were.
In such a short period of time, he was able to travel back and forth between these places without blushing or jumping. It could be seen how fast Little Seventeen was!
It seemed that what his grandfather said was true. This Little Seventeen was indeed quite capable!
"These things can be made into ice-cold popsicles to relieve some people's summer heat!”
Ying Pingan said as he looked at Wang Jiaren.
Ying Yuanman burst into laughter after she understood the relationship between the two.
"Pretty Sister, you should have pots and plates, right? Find me a few, and I'll treat you to delicious popsicles!”
"Good!"
Ying Yuanman ordered someone to retrieve it.
Ying Pingan poured some clear water into the clay pot, then added some honey and milk into it, and stirred it evenly.
"Is this the popsicle you were talking about? Wasn't it just honey water? We've all drunk it before!"
Before Ying Pingan could put the saltpeter in, Wang Jiaren raised her doubts.
"I'll perform a magic trick for you!"
Ying Pingan couldn't be bothered to explain. He poured the water from the clay pot into the plate and sprinkled a handful of saltpeter powder on it. Ying Yuanman and Wang Jiaren's gazes were all focused on the plate.
After a while, a magical scene appeared.
The water on the plate had already started to freeze.
"This…this…? The honey water actually froze?"
"This is a popsicle?"
The two of them were so shocked that their mouths could be stuffed with eggs.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
The honey water that this kid was stirring just now had turned into transparent ice cubes in the blink of an eye?
"Try it!"
Ying Pingan took out the popsicle from the plate and handed it to Wang Jiaren. Then, he made another two popsicles using the same method, leaving them for Ying Yuanman and himself.
"Hmm…! It's so delicious!"
Ying Yuanman immediately narrowed her eyes when the cold and sweet taste entered her mouth.
The scorching heat from before also dissipated. It was simply too magical! "I'll also make you guys a sweet osmanthus flavored one!”
Ying Pingan poured some water into the plate and added some sugar into it. Then, he ran to the tree and picked a few fresh laurel petals.
A handful of saltpeter was sprinkled in, and the sugar osmanthus flavored popsicle was ready!
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Looking at the crystal clear popsicle with flower petals mixed in, Wang Jiaren's eyes widened.
After all, she was still a little girl. She couldn't move when she saw beautiful and delicious things.
"Ping 'an, how did you do this?”
Ying Yuanman licked the popsicle in her hand and asked curiously.
"This is called saltpeter powder. As long as you sprinkle it into water, the water will freeze into ice. Then, add your favorite flavor and it will become a delicious popsicle!”
Ying Pingan pointed at a small packet of powder and explained.
"So that's how it is. Brother Wang is really smart!”
Ying Yuanman was delighted.
After learning how to make popsicles, he would be able to eat ice every day to reduce the heat!
"I want more!"
Wang Jiaren finished the popsicle in a short while, licking her lips as she asked Ying Pingan for it.
Ying Pingan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
"Make me another one!"
"Although popsicles are cooling and relieve the heat, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, you'll have diarrhea!”
Ying Pingan rolled his eyes.
“……”
Wang Jiaren also felt that she had lost her composure and could not help but feel awkward.
How could the daughter of Marquis Tongwu act like a wild girl who had never seen the world? She would eat whatever she saw and ask for it after eating. She was too unruly!
"It's all your fault!"
How could this unruly little girl be mistaken?
He rolled his eyes and started to criticize Ying Pingan righteously!
"What is it? Blame me?"
"I was kind enough to make you a popsicle to relieve the heat, and you're actually blaming me?”Ying Pingan rolled his eyes.
"Of course it's your fault. If you didn't speak rudely, why would I chase you? If I didn't chase after you, I wouldn't be hot, and I wouldn't have eaten so much ice!”
Wang Jiaren found a perfect excuse for her rudeness.
Ying Pingan felt helpless.
As expected!
You can't reason with women!
"Now that the heat has subsided, are we still competing?”
"Fight! Of course!"
Even though she already knew that her speed was not on the same level as this kid, for the sake of her face, Wang Jiaren still braced herself and made a fist gesture.
"Come on!"
Ying Pingan dashed over a hundred meters away with a whoosh, while Wang Jiaren was chasing after him while panting heavily.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even catch Ying Pingan's clothes, so he could only arrange to fight another day!
As soon as Wang Jiaren left, the young eunuch Jiu Lin ran over to look for Ying Pingan. He said that the iron pot had been made and sent to the hall.
"What iron pot?"
"It's just a kind of kitchenware. If Pretty Sister is interested, you can go and take a look together!”
Ying Pingan waved at Ying Yuanman.
Due to the backward technology of smelting iron and the difficulty of mining, ironware was not widely used in this era!
It was only in the Han Dynasty that the prototype of the iron pot appeared!
Today, no matter what, he had to let that old fool Ying Zheng open his eyes. Perhaps he could even get some rewards!
"Alright, alright!"
Ying Yuanman clapped her hands like a curious baby.
"Has the imperial kitchen prepared all the ingredients?”
"Little Lord, it's ready!”
"Go to Brother Wang's place and call him along!”
"Yes, sir!"
Fu Su was the one who left the deepest impression on Ying Pingan after he entered the palace. Since he was going to display his culinary skills today, he naturally had to bring him along!
This kid was really miserable in history. Huhai had faked an imperial edict, and this kid had directly committed suicide.
It could be seen how stubborn his personality was!
It was precisely this kind of personality that Ying Pingan liked!
He disliked people like Huhai who were nimble and moved with the wind!
