The servant stared blankly at the crystal clear object, because the object looked a lot like ice.
But how could there be ice in this season?
He couldn't help but squat down, and then gently picked up the piece of ice with two fingers.
When his two fingers touched the crystal clear object, he immediately felt a slippery sensation, and he was finally sure that the object was an ice cube.
It's not like he has never seen ice cubes before. During the cold weather, such ice cubes can be seen everywhere.
But it was late spring, and there was no chance of ice anywhere except in icehouses.
However, this piece of ice actually appeared in front of him.
Another person saw his abnormal behavior and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
He stood up slowly and showed the piece of ice in front of the man.
Another person looked at the ice cube in his hand, as if he saw a ghost, and couldn't help shouting: "What is that in your hand?"
The voice was high and sharp, and when the person's hand shook, the ice cubes slipped from the fingers to the ground, and then fell into ice crystals on the ground.
The sound also alarmed the others. Cuinong came over and looked at them dissatisfied.
"What's going on? What all the fuss is about."
But the two people didn't answer her words, and their four eyes just stared at the ground.
Cuinong frowned, walked forward, followed their gazes, and then saw little water stains on the ground, with dots of crystals in the water stains.
"What is that?" Cuinong asked curiously.
The two people finally looked up at Cuinong, and one of them murmured: "That's ice."
In the small house, a pretty girl was holding a ledger and preparing to send it behind the screen. At this moment, Huangfujie suddenly opened the door and hurried in.
The girl couldn't help but scolded: "Master Huangfu, has he forgotten the rules?"
Huangfu Jie hurriedly explained: "I have something important to report to the master."
At this time, the oriole-like voice behind the screen said: "What's so urgent?"
Huangfujie said loudly: "Bing. Master, it's Bing."
"ice?"
This nonsense made the voice fall into doubt.
Huangfujie immediately told in detail what happened to the two servants who discovered the ice.
"What kind of guest is sitting in that seat?"
Although she was sure of the guest's identity, she still couldn't help but ask.
Huangfujie smiled bitterly and said, "Su Shi, Second Young Master Su."
The person behind the screen tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart: "Are you really sure it's ice?"
"Ada, Gao Liang and Cuinong have all touched it with their own hands. All three of them are sure it is ice."
Then he added: "When I rushed over, all the ice had turned into water. I touched the water stains and the temperature there was indeed much lower than other places."
The person behind the screen thought for a while and asked, "Cuinong, Chenshuang and Huafu have been with Su Shi, but what did they find?"
Huangfujie shook his head and said, "I asked them one by one, and they all said they didn't see anything strange. They all said that when Su Shi went back, he just asked Cuinong for a glass of well water. After drinking most of the glass, he put the water glass on the I put it aside and never touched the water glass again.”
Finally, Huangfu Jie said with a wry smile: "When Ah Da cleared the table, the ice cubes appeared in the water glass."
Until now, Huangfu Jie felt that everything happening now was a myth.
The cup was the cup from the flower shop, the water was the well water from the flower shop, and then Su Shi turned the well water into ice.
The person behind the screen pondered for a long time before continuing to ask: "Are you sure that the ice was made by Su Shi?"
Huangfujie felt his throat was dry, and he said bitterly: "I asked Ah Da, and Ah Da said that when he picked up the ice cube from the ground, he felt that the shape of the ice was strange."
Then he explained: "The shape of the ice is not the square shape after cutting, but the shape of a dome. Just right..."
At this time, the voice said: "Does it exactly match the shape of the bottom of the water glass?"
Huangfujie lowered his head and replied: "Exactly."
The shape of the ice matches the bottom of the water glass, which can only mean one thing, that is, the well water must be ice formed in the water glass.
For Huangfujie, this is already a magic.
The person behind the screen stopped talking, because she already knew the whole story.
After leaving here, Su Shi asked for a glass of water, drank most of it, and turned the rest into ice.
Su Shi proved with practical actions that he could really turn water into ice, and the whole process was easy. Because Cuinong, Chenshuang and Huafu had been with Su Shi, they didn't notice any unusual behavior on his part.
She let out a long breath, shocked by Su Shi's miraculous ice-making skills, and at the same time full of curiosity about him.
Because the Su Shi she saw was completely different from the rumors. Which Su Shi was the real Su Shi?
Dongyuan Quality Library.
Bai Jiangchuan sat casually on the chair and looked at Du Heng, with a smile on his sickly white face.
That smile was like a fox looking at a little white rabbit that was about to fall into a trap, or like a poisonous snake spitting out a message and about to pounce from behind its prey.
"How many people did Chen Xiaolan recruit?"
Du Heng replied: "Originally Chen Ang recruited twenty-four people, but Chen Xiaolan made another selection and left eighteen people. However, Zhao Ming and Cui San still stayed."
"What did they find out?"
"Chen Xiaolan gave them a task. From tomorrow on, each of them will be responsible for gathering information about Yifang Restaurant."
"What information are they trying to find out?"
Du Heng's face became a little strange, and he replied: "They are mainly inquiring about the age, interests, personality, hobbies, and abilities of the owner of the restaurant."
"It seems that they are planning to find a restaurant to cooperate in the plum soup business."
Bai Jiangchuan smiled and said: "It doesn't seem to be the case, but they will definitely find a restaurant to cooperate."
If Chen Ang and his daughter were to sell by themselves, no matter how many people they hired, they would not be able to earn 4,000 taels of silver in a month.
The only way is to cooperate with restaurants.
Bai Jiangchuan also thought of this, so he made this bet known to the whole city, because in this way, it would be impossible for any restaurant to dare to cooperate with them.
Except for the flower shop.
However, Bai Jiangchuan was not worried because he knew that it was impossible for the flower shop to cooperate with Mr. Shen.
If you want to cooperate with the flower shop, I'm afraid Mr. Shen is not qualified at all.
But there were still two things that bothered him.
The first thing is that Chen Ang and his daughter did not make plum soup at all, and they did not even buy the raw materials.
The second thing is that until now, he still doesn't know the origin of Shen Xunhuan.
When the people who were following Shen Xunhuan came back and said that they had lost them, Bai Jiangchuan beat each of them twenty times without saying a word, so that the two of them could not get out of bed for at least a month.
