Showing Miracles

"Qiu Yu, you go to Zhuangzi now and ask them to kill a pig and bring it over in the evening, and bring all the water and other things over."

"Then I'll send two more ready-to-kill ones early tomorrow morning."

If it wasn't summer, she would have wanted to deliver it all at once today, but this was summer, and the meat would go bad easily.

There's no refrigerator or freezer or anything like that here.

Wait, there is no freezer in the refrigerator, but there is ice.

After explaining Qiu Yu here, she asked Qiu Shuang to arrange for people to purchase the saltpeter needed for making ice, as well as large wooden barrels, etc.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, please go and inform us later because Baizhenlou needs to prepare new dishes for tomorrow and will close early."

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded repeatedly.

After the arrangements were made, Lu Yaoyao didn't stay long and went directly back to Xiangjun's Mansion.

The people arranged by Qiu Shuang have already bought the things.

"Hey, what did Yaoyao buy?"

"so much?"

When Mr. Lu came over and saw the messy piles covering half of the yard, he was very surprised and stepped forward to look at them.

"Grandpa is here, come in and sit down."

"What are you buying these things for?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao walked over with a smile, showed a playful smile, and spoke mysteriously.

"Grandpa, how about I show you a miracle later?"

"miracle?"

When Mr. Lu saw her playful look, the smile on his face became more and more endearing.

As for talking about miracles, he didn't pay attention at all.

"Okay, what kind of miracle does Yao Yao plan to show his grandfather? Can you tell me a little bit about it first?"

"sure."

"I will give my grandfather a show later, turning water into ice."

Seeing the seriousness with which she spoke, Mr. Lu's smile became more intense, but he didn't believe at all that she had such ability.

Turn water into ice, or is it this summer?

It is absolutely impossible to do it, unless you are a god.

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Mr. Lu didn't show it at all.

"Okay, then grandpa will open his eyes wide and watch our Yaoyao perform miracles."

"Girl Qiu Shuang, go bring me a chair and put it under the eaves."

Qiu Shuang responded with a smile, and actually brought a chair for the old man and placed it under the eaves.

"Come on, Yaoyao girl, show your miracle."

"good."

Lu Yaoyao responded. Qiu Shuang beside her had already seen Lu Yaoyao making ice. She almost didn't need her to explain, and arranged for people to prepare things.

Soon, there were several large buckets of water in the yard.

The big wooden barrel is placed inside the small wooden barrel, and the saltpeter is placed in the water in the large wooden barrel outside.

Then move these water-filled barrels to a shady place in the corner of the yard.

"That's it? This hasn't turned into ice yet."

"Grandpa, you are too impatient. You see such a big barrel, of course you have to wait."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu shook his head and laughed.

"It seems that grandpa doesn't believe it. Qiu Shuang, go find a small wooden barrel."

Not long after, Qiu Shuang prepared two small wooden barrels. Without Lu Yaoyao's instructions, Qiu Shuang herself operated them according to Lu Yaoyao's previous methods.

"Grandpa, let's go into the house. You can have dinner with me today."

In the past few times, Lu Yaoyao had dinner with the entire Lu family, but starting from yesterday, it was different.

After all, everyone has their own things to do, and it's really not convenient to be together every time.

After lunch, Lu Yaoyao asked Qiu Shuang to bring over the wooden barrel that he had just brought into the house.

"Grandpa, look, has it turned into ice?"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu was startled for a moment, and he almost forgot about it.

When he heard this, he subconsciously looked at the barrel. At this sight, he was stunned.

It took him a while to realize what he was doing, and he quickly reached out to touch it.

"This, this, this"

"How is it possible? It was water just now, and why did it suddenly turn into ice?"

After being shocked, he remembered the miracle Lu Yaoyao said. This was really a miracle, turning water into ice.

"Yaoyao, how did you do it?"

"Isn't this incredible?"

Seeing Mr. Lu's shock, Lu Yaoyao smiled playfully and raised his chin very proudly.

"Shall I show you a miracle? You still don't believe it."

Seeing her cute appearance, Mr. Lu laughed heartily and liked her very much.

"Grandpa was wrong. He didn't expect our Yao Yao to be so powerful."

"You actually know how to use such magical means."

"Could we, Yaoyao, be the little fairies in the world?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled even more happily, little fairy, not bad, not bad.

"Grandpa said that Yao Yao is a little fairy, so Yao Yao is. However, this is not actually some magical means."

"It's a chemical phenomenon."

"What is a chemical phenomenon?"

Mr. Lu instantly transformed into a curious baby.

Lu Yaoyao didn't hide it, and quickly explained to the old man, but what she said, Mr. Lu had never heard of it at all, and he couldn't understand it at all.

However, he still confirmed one thing from Lu Yaoyao's explanation.

The reason why she can turn water into ice is all because of the saltpeter.

As for the reaction of saltpeter in water and what she said about absorbing heat, he didn't understand it at all.

"Is this stone so powerful?"

"Yes, this is a treasure. Not only can it turn water into ice, it can also do many other things."

"It's just that not many people know about it, so it can be regarded as a pearl covered in dust."

Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly, and without saying anything else, he just said that the water turned into ice, and the stone was already very powerful.

Summer has always been difficult. When the weather is hot, I really can’t feel energetic about anything.

Ice becomes particularly precious in summer, especially for ordinary people and small households. Ice is definitely the most wanted thing in summer.

Rich families will get some ice and store it in the ice cellar in winter, but in the end it may not be enough.

Therefore, in the future, most people will buy ice cubes outside, and the price is not bad.

"Since Yaoyao has this magical method, why don't you do more of it? The weather here in the capital is hot, and ice is a very profitable business."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao looked at the old man blankly. He was indeed a merchant. He was shocked just now. At this moment, he thought of using this thing to make money.

"Grandpa is really good, but selling ice is better. It can only be done in the summer. We have a better business, so there is no need to spend time on it."

How much money can she make from selling ice cream? She has plenty of ways to make money in her mind, so why bother doing something that can only be made in the summer?

"."

Thinking of the business Lu Yaoyao was preparing in the capital, Mr. Lu was speechless.

He also gained a deep knowledge of perfumes and soaps and spirits from his second son, and was well on his way.

Let's not talk about the first two for now. After all, it is a gadget for women. He is not sure yet.

But when it comes to strong drinks, he is very confident.

He also tasted the taste of that strong wine. It was really excellent. Looking at Dongzhou, no other wine could compete with it.

Once it is put into the market, it is easy to make a lot of money every day. In comparison, selling ice cream is a bit too small.
