Chapter 89 Ice Cubes

Gervais kept reminiscing and drawing in his study. After drawing it out, he felt that something was wrong and he tore it off and redrawn it. After more than an hour, he finally got the arquebus. During the blueprint, Thomas had reported the excavation results and found no signs of minerals, which made Gervais determine that the space opened up by Wall-E was a nitrate mine.

“Huh, it’s hard to draw something in my memory on paper. It seems that I need to record some knowledge in my mind so that I can forget it later.”

Gervais He had only traveled here for less than a month and a half, and he still remembered a lot of knowledge in his mind. He was worried that if a few years passed, most of his memories would become blurred. If he recalled it again, it would not be as clear as it is now. Without Baidu, forgetting is forgetting forever. It is impossible to have a chance to review it again. It is so difficult to draw a profound blueprint today. If it is in the future, one can imagine it.

“Come in,”

Hearing a knock on the door, Gervais folded the mix of gunpowder and the blueprint of the arquebus, and put it away. When he was in his arms, he called out to the door.

“Sir, the celebration feast is about to start!”

The little maid Anna came in. After Anna opened the door, she hurried to the desk and bent over to report to Gervais.

“Is it already noon? Then go see my ice cubes first.” Only then did Gervais realize that he had been in the study for so long, so he stood up, stretched, and took Anna with him out of the study.

Arriving on the first floor, Gervais walked into the kitchen, couldn’t wait to come to the ice-making tub, and then opened the lid of the tub in Anna’s expectant eyes.

“Haha, it worked, ice cubes, I really made a fortune this time!”

After removing the lid of the pot, the ice cubes in the copper basin indicated that Gervais used it for the first time. The ice making was very successful, which made Gervais very excited, and even had the urge to hug Anna’s little maid and cheer together, but thinking of Anna’s shy personality, Gervais gave up the idea.

“Come on, Anna, try some ice cubes in summer!”

Seeing the ice cubes wafting through the slightest chill, Gervais hurriedly took out the copper basin and used the kitchen The vegetable-cutting knife knocked two pieces of crushed ice, one was quickly stuffed into his mouth, and the other was handed to Anna.

Anna looked at the ice cubes handed over by the fief lord and was amazed. You can eat ice cubes in summer. For the serfs, it is unheard-of. It has never been seen before. Poverty limits the serfs. Before that, they would never have imagined that those great nobles could store ice cubes for consumption on hot summer days.

“Thank you, my lord!” Anna exhaled, and took the ice from Gervais’s hand with a slightly red face.

“So the ice cubes in summer feel like this?” As soon as the ice cubes started, Anna was startled, and the cold feeling came from the tips of her fingers, giving her an unprecedented feeling.

In the past, Anna, who was a serf, hated the cold winter the most, because the winter meant no harvest, they had to be hungry, and the cold weather would test their bodies. If you are not careful, you may freeze to death, or catch a cold because of the cold.

The ice and snow at the time of the winter was like a devil to the former Anna.

“Stupid little girl, hurry up and put it in your mouth, it will melt if you don’t eat it!”

Gervais was a little dazed when she saw Anna holding the ice cubes. She didn’t know why. The ice cubes in her hands kept melting, so she reminded Anna, who was still in a daze.

“Oh, yes, fief lord!”

Only after Gervais reminded Anna did she realize that the ice water kept falling from her fingertips, so she hurriedly put ice cubes into her own small mouth.

The cold entry into the mouth instantly takes people out of the hot summer. Anna just feels indescribably comfortable all over her body, making her feel that this piece of ice with no taste is something she has eaten for more than ten years. The most wonderful food.

“That’s right, you must know that only those big nobles can eat ice cubes in summer. Let’s go and find Jimmy, and I will definitely let you know when I invent better ice cubes in the future. What is delicious food?”

Gervais was in a daze when she saw the little maid took the ice cubes, and she looked even more cute after eating it, which gave Gervais a great sense of accomplishment and felt that Anna was caught by ice cubes The taste conquered, so he put on a look of a saucy bun who would follow Mr. Ben and eat spicy food and drink spicy food without worrying about it.

“Yes, thank you sir!” Anna saw that Gervais treated her so well, and even heard that only those great nobles could eat this ice cube, and immediately blushed and bowed her thanks to Gervais.

“Well, let’s go, the ice will melt later!”

The little maid’s red face is very beautiful, Gervais also wanted to watch it for a while, but held it in her hands. The copper basin kept him from doing so, and it was the hottest summer yet, and Gervais worried that the ice would melt if it took too long.

The ice cubes in the copper basin, Gervais, are going to be used to reward the entire army. For the subordinates who follow him through life and death, Gervais is very generous. Besides, the nitrate can be reused, as long as the water in the wooden shed is boiled again. Once again, it can be turned into nitrate. If you need to enjoy ice cubes, you can do it anytime, anywhere. Ice cubes are water to Gervais now.

Holding the copper basin, Gervais ran fast in the vestibule, the place where the soldiers cooked meals was definitely not in the kitchen of the inner fort, they had a separate kitchen, Gervais trotted all the way, causing a lot of guards Attention, all saluted Gervais.

Gervais didn’t have time to pay attention to them, and responded to them nodded.

“Jimmy, come on, cut this ice cube, put one in every glass of juice, go fast, or it will melt.”

As Gervais ran to the vestibule In a stone house, Jimmy is living with his several helpers. This is the place where food is cooked for the guards and servants. Although the space is small, it is also cleaned by the servants.

“Sir, you said it was ice, such a big piece of ice?”

Jimmy was startled when he saw Gervais approaching, and hurriedly stepped forward and heard Gervais say ice cubes , Jimmy still didn’t react, but when he saw the copper basin in Gervais’s arms, Jimmy was convinced that what Gervais said was really ice.

“Give it to me, my lord, and I’ll cut it up right now!”

Jimmy didn’t ask where Gervais came from, looking at the dripping dew on the copper basin The ice cubes obtained, but rather eagerly said to Gervais.

Jimmy has also dealt with ice cubes in Rose Castle. He knows how rare ice cubes are in summer, and it is also very expensive. If you delay it for a second, you will lose an extra copper, so he can’t be in a hurry.

Gervais wanted to laugh when he saw Jimmy’s anxious look, and wanted to pretend and tell Jimmy that ice cubes were worthless to me. But thinking that this is not in line with his own three views, he held back and quickly handed the copper basin to Jimmy.

Jimmy is obviously proficient at dividing ice cubes. I saw that in Jimmy’s quick processing, the ice cubes of similar size were divided. While dividing, Jimmy ordered the helper to divide it. of ice cubes into a wooden glass with juice.

Just 3 minutes and Jimmy will cut the pieces.

“Go, distribute all the juice to the guards!”

When everything was over, Gervais gave an order, helping the cook, and some servants who had just come to carry the drinks one after another lifted them with trays The wooden cup moved towards the place where the banquet was held.
