Chapter 6 Making Ice Cream

Zhuzhu sensed her thoughts, laughed at it, and explained that the elixirs taken by mortals here only have less spiritual energy than the elixirs of immortal cultivators, and are more effective than ordinary medicines.

So she relied on Zhuzhu and spent a lot of her newly recovered spiritual power to help her bring out the Bone Renewal Pill.

The pain in her legs was too much, and she had to hold onto the only hope that she could recover quickly.

She went around to other areas and saw many robots she had designed and made. Then she found some space, took the Bone Renewal Pill, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Shen Yunyao woke up in the morning, she found that her leg was completely healed. She was surprised. It seemed that those things about cultivating immortals were not bluffing.

In order not to be exposed, she had to lie on the bed and pretend. She was really bored and started to try the exercises she got yesterday.

Shen Yunyao tried the exercises in her mind and quickly fell into trance.

She woke up when Shen Yunhao brought her breakfast, and she felt refreshed the moment she woke up.

"Sister, let's eat. The kid who helped us pick up stones yesterday asked me if our family bought white stones. How does his family calculate the money for picking up stones? However, I never said that our family bought white stones."

Shen Yunyao thought to herself that either someone was spreading the rumor, or the people in this village really have a keen sense of business.

"You can let them pick it up. Just tell them that a basket of designated stones will cost you a penny. Find someone to collect saltpeter for a penny a basket, two baskets a day. Tell them that whoever mixes it with other stones will not be accepted from this person in the future."

She remembered that the tribesmen would use saltpeter to make ice and sell ice in the summer. There was a waste saltpeter mine in the mountains to the north of the village, and no one was mining it anymore. The tribesmen often picked up the scattered leftover saltpeter.

The elders in the clan always tell the clan members about the history of the Shen family. The Shen family in Shenjiapo is a direct branch of the Shen family, a prominent family in the capital. Some of the things the clan knows are brought from the capital.

They came here to mine saltpeter more than 300 years ago and gradually settled here.

Originally, they lived a relatively prosperous life by selling saltpeter to their family.

Since the saltpeter mines were mined more than two hundred years ago, the family has not agreed to move back, and the clan members have not been able to return to the capital.

They can only stay here, and their lives are becoming more and more difficult. Most of them make a living by farming.

Now in the village, there are only the ancestral hall and a few houses in the middle, which are made of bricks and tiles. The houses built later around the middle are either stone and adobe houses, or adobe thatched houses.

She is short of money now, so although she has to show that she can't move her legs, her hands can still make ice, but she has to make ice products that are different from those made by her tribe.

After hearing Shen Yunyao's words, Shen Yunhao waited for her to finish her meal, put away the dishes, and then left home to spread the news.

Shen Yunyao called Mrs. Liu and told her her idea of ​​making ice cream.

Liu thought it was feasible as soon as she heard it. Originally, her family often made ice in summer.

Molds with grids are easy to make. Shen Yunyao's father often does carpentry work at home, and he has carpentry tools at home. For a hands-on person, it is easy to make a dozen wooden ice cream molds.

Shen Yunyao told Liu how to make mung bean ice cream, red bean ice cream, glutinous rice ice cream, fruit ice cream, etc. If there were no milking cows in the village, she would also like to add milk to the ice cream.

Just do it. Shen Yunyao was busy making ice cream molds this morning, and Liu also cooked several kinds of porridge and set them aside.

Shen Yunhao's publicity was in place, and before noon, someone had already delivered two baskets of saltpeter and five baskets of spiritual stones.

In the afternoon, the family woke up and started busy making ice cream.

It was very cool in the ancestral hall in summer. Shen Yunyan took advantage of the fact that no one was watching, so she sat down on the futon and kneaded her knees.

"Yan girl!"

A familiar and deep voice sounded at the door of the ancestral hall.

"Second aunt? Why are you here?"

"Didn't I meet people from the village in the town and heard about you? Your second uncle asked me to come back and see you quickly. He said that you are still young and it's not a big deal if you make a mistake. The patriarch is really troublesome. You It will be fine if I change it in the future, and I really won’t have to kneel down in the ancestral hall.”

Shen Yunyan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. She didn't want to kneel in the ancestral hall. Could it be that her second uncle could help her plead for mercy? She had always admired her second uncle the most.

After all, the second uncle has always lived in the town, has a grocery store in the town, and is the most promising in the family.

"Second Aunt, do you and Second Uncle want to plead for me? But the patriarch never changes his mind."

"Ahem, well, my family's reputation isn't that great. However, the ancestral hall is quite cool, and it can be used as a way to escape the heat after staying there for a few days. I specially bought some pastries for you in the town. Eat some quickly."

Shen Yunyan was a little regretful, but when she heard that there was food, she became happy again, "I understand. Thank you, Second Aunt."

"Yan Yatou, you are a good child. You are not like that girl Yunyao who always cries and whines when something happens. She treats small things as big things. She is just a broom star. Nothing good happens to her.

That Ganoderma lucidum was originally left to you by your second uncle, otherwise I wouldn’t have told you the news. I thought you would get a dowry if you sold the medicinal materials this time. Alas, I didn’t expect it to end up like this. Girl Yan, you child is too Being kind, you didn’t get anything out of it, and you got an advantage out of that little bitch.”

Shen Yunyan was confused, "Second Aunt, what do you mean? Why did the little bitch take advantage of me?"

"Tsk, I heard that your third aunt made a lot of money selling bird's nests in the town drugstore. Where did you say this bird's nest came from? Didn't you get it from the cliff together that day? You told people about the medicinal materials. I never told you about the bird's nest."

Shen Yunyan's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that Shen Yunyao could still collect bird's nests after falling off a cliff. She had discovered this for her.

Here she also forgot that her original intention at that time was to keep the money from selling the medicinal materials.

"Second Aunt, you are right. That little bitch is so treacherous. I want to take revenge on her. Does Second Aunt have any good ideas?"

Qian coughed slightly and said, "Not yet. She is not old enough to talk about marriage yet. You should pay more attention to what she does every day and tell me when the time comes, so that we can find opportunities.

But let’s talk about it first. Second Aunt is here to help you. Don’t blame me if anything happens. If so, I won’t care.”

Shen Yunyan smiled coquettishly and said: "Good second aunt, you are the best to me. How could I say that? This is what I wanted to do. I thank second aunt first."

"Okay, you can eat first. Second Aunt has to rush back to town, so she needs to leave first."

Shen Yunyan looked at the closed door, her eyes bright and clear, and she firmly decided to deal with Shen Yunyao.

The first batch of ice cream made by Shen Yunyao's family was still frozen solid the next morning.

Mrs. Liu covered the big bamboo basket with an old quilt, put the ice cream box in it and wrapped it, and asked her eldest son to carry the small bamboo basket to hold the remaining bird's nests.

The two went to town together.

Shen Yunyao stayed at home to take care of her children and make popsicle sticks.

The sun was in mid-air, and it was getting hotter and hotter. There were still a dozen sticks of ice cream left at home. Shen Yunyao gave two sticks of mung bean ice cream to his younger siblings, and she also held one in her mouth.

The younger brother and sister got the ice cream and ran away without a trace.

Shen Yunyao thought that now she could finally get out of bed and walk around. She lay on the bed as if her bones were rusty.

Not long after, there was a strange voice in the yard, "Is there anyone at home?"
