Chapter 251: Ice-cold Plum Soup

Lin Jingxuan ran to the kitchen again and lifted the lid on the basin to take a look.

The water in the small basin inside had also turned into ice, and now it seemed a little more solid.

She put the lid aside and turned the small basin around by the edge of her hand.

It didn't turn at first, but later I exerted greater strength and it turned.

Lin Jingxuan whispered, "It froze up pretty quickly!"

I took the chopsticks placed next to it and stirred the small basin in the middle. Many of the ice cubes had frozen into small pieces, but they could still be stirred. Only the basin wall was frozen solid and could not be stirred.

Now move the basin and stir the ice inside so that you can add it to the cooled sour plum soup later.

Otherwise, I can’t even take it out, how can I add it?

Jiang Ci took out the iced sour plum soup that she had put into the well water a quarter of an hour ago.

Taste the bowl first, it’s already cold, so you can add ice.

"Xuanxuan wants to bring ice over and add it in."

"coming."

The ice that had not yet frozen solid fell into the bucket of sour plum soup, while the circle of frozen ice around the basin was still inside.

Jiang Ci knocked on it with his hand, and it broke into two pieces and fell into the bucket.

"Brother Ci, how about we pour some sour plum juice into the basin and keep it in there to keep it cold?"

"good idea."

If I add this basin of ice to this bucket, it will be a bit heavy, just right for pouring out a basin of sour plum soup.

The two of them took turns carrying the sour plum soup and the bowl to the field. Everyone who was working there put down their work and gathered around.

They were all surprised by the icy cold sour plum soup when they first drank it, especially two of them who drank it so quickly that they found there was still ice at the bottom of the bowl when they finished their bowl.

“There’s ice in this!”

"I added a little more. It's more comfortable to drink it cold on such a hot day."

The few people who were pulled over from the town's courtyard to work smiled even more brightly, "Thank you, boss! It's the first time I can eat ice cream in so many years."

Even though Lin Shan and Ye Wan have grown up, they have never eaten ice cream in the summer.

Of course, when I was a child, I was also curious about what ice tasted like. I couldn’t afford it in the summer, but I could afford it in the winter, so I had to try it out of curiosity.

Jiang Ci asked Ye Wan, "Ah Sheng brought a few people up the mountain. Will they be back at noon today?"

"I took two people with me. When I left, I said I would come back if I could find it. I couldn't come back earlier than noon. Let's wait and see."

"That's fine."

After they finished drinking the bucket of sour plum soup, Jiang Ci carried the bucket home. For so many people, lunch had to be prepared in advance.

Jiang Ci poured a large bowl of icy cold sour plum soup and handed it to Ye Shuyun.

Ye Shuyun was very happy to see Jiang Ci coming, "Brother Ci is here, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to visit you. How have you been recently? Is your child bothering you?"

"Still pretty good."

Jiang Ci walked over and placed the sour plum soup on the table next to her. "This is the sour plum soup I just made at home. I put it in ice and waited for you to bring it over to try."

"Ice?!"

"Correct!"

Ye Shuyun put down the vegetables she had picked and touched the wall of the bowl. It was icy cool and comfortable to the touch.

"It's been hot lately, and I feel a little anxious, so it's just right to drink something cold."

Ye Shuyun picked up the bowl and took two sips, "The sour plum soup made by Brother Ci is still the best."

"You drink slowly here. I should go home and cook. A few more people are coming to work today, so I need to cook more."

"it is good."

When Jiang Ci left, Ye Shuyun's little white dog wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue as it walked to the door.

"Okay, let's go home."

Jiang Ci went out and saw their new house over there. The outer wall had also been built. From this position, one could only see the trees, the wall, and a little bit of the pavilion and the second floor that was exposed.

I heard from Lin Jingsheng that the place is almost completely covered, the floor has been paved and the walls have been plastered. Let's go and take a look in the afternoon.

Jiang Ci had already cooked two dishes, but there was still no sign of Lin Jingsheng at the door. It seemed that he would not be back for lunch.

Jiang Ci brought two large pots of food to the chopping board, went out and washed her face with well water to wash away the sweat on her face.

Then I went to the main room and drank a bowl of sour plum juice with ice, which was very enjoyable.

This color reminded Jiang Ci of cola smoothie, which had bubbles in his mouth. It was really enjoyable to drink it in summer.

What a pity, he can never drink that carbonated drink again.

And now Lin Jingsheng on the mountain has found traces of saltpeter.

Xu Xia put down the small hoe in his hand and patted the mud off his hands.

"Just that little bit, there's nothing here."

Lin Jingsheng pulled the backpack and looked at it. There were only a few small pieces. "Take a break first. It's time to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from not far away, "Boss Xu is here to eat."

"coming!"

When they went over, they saw two roasted pheasants placed on large leaves they had picked, and a rabbit was also roasting on the fire.

The three of them first shared two pheasants. The pheasants were fat at this time of the year, and with the seasonings that Lin Jingsheng brought from home, the pheasants tasted delicious when roasted.

At home, two tables were put together in the main room, and a group of about ten people sat together, talking and laughing, eating enthusiastically.

In comparison, this place seems shabby.
