In the third year of Hongwu, the first day of the eighth month

In the hot summer months, the sky is clear and blue, and the sun hangs high in the sky, shining on the earth.

It feels like you're in the oven, and the sweat is running down the ground.

Under the gazebo, Xu Huizu lay lazily on the rocking chair, picking up the watermelon next to him from time to time to take a bite.

"Master Hou, there is news from Jinyiwei, the things you explained have been done, and the ore has arrived in Yingtian, you see?"

Wang Mu came to the pavilion and reported to Xu Huizu.

"Ore, saltpeter?" said Xu Huizu, an excited carp jumped up and grabbed Wang Mu's arm and asked.

Wang Mu nodded and said: "Yes, it has been taken over by the Department of Commerce, and workers have been hired to continuously mine, and the ore that arrived today is being temporarily stored in the warehouse of the industrial park."

Xu Huizu immediately instructed Wang Mu to arrange a carriage to take him to the industrial park.

Xu Hui's "623" ancestor who was sitting in the carriage was smiling on the surface, and his heart was numb, it was too hot, and the carriage in summer was more like an oven, even if the wind blowing in from the window was hot.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xu Huizu couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, breathing in a big breath of fresh air.

"It looks like it's time to design a few short-sleeved and shorts as soon as possible!"

"Although Hanfu is beautiful, it is too unfavorable in summer. "

"What are you muttering?"

The sudden voice in his ears startled Xu Huizu, who was muttering.

In a blink of an eye, it turned out to be Shen Qingning looking at himself vividly.

"Hmm, how did you know I was coming?" asked Xu Huizu with a puzzled face.

"Maybe it's a coincidence!

In fact, Shen Qingning didn't say that she had been staring at Xu Huizu's every move for a long time, and before Xu Huizu arrived in the industrial park, she received the news and waited here.

After Xu Huizu explained his intentions, Shen Qingning said that he wanted to accompany him.

Xu Huizu, who couldn't resist her, had no choice but to take this little tail.

"See Master Hou!"

"See Admiral Shen!"

The warehouse guards saw the two coming together and hurriedly saluted, Xu Huizu nodded and waved his hand to signal him to open the warehouse door.

Shen Qingning looked at Xu Huizu curiously, not knowing what could make him so excited.

Xu Huizu, who entered the warehouse, jumped up and down to spot check, and after confirming that it was really a saltpeter mine, he hugged Shen Qingning excitedly.

"You... What are you doing, there are still people..."

Shen Qingning said in a low voice, but did not push him away.

Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, looked down at the girl in his arms, and his blushing goose egg face made his heart throb a little.

"Ahem"

A light cough came, and the two hurriedly separated, and the person who came was Shen Rong.

"Uncle..."

Shen Qingning was ashamed like a little daughter-in-law, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and her voice was like a mosquito.

"Hahahaha, Uncle Shen, why are you here!"

Xu Huizu pretended to say hello calmly, but the heart in the laughter was empty, and anyone could hear it.

"I heard that Hou Ye and his niece were visiting, so I came to have a look"

Looking at the ridicule on Shen Rong's face, Shen Qingning's face turned even redder.

"Well, Uncle Shen, this is the saltpeter, the core material that cement, ice, and gunpowder all need!"

Listening to Xu Huizu's explanation, Shen Rong's brows twitched, and a picture instantly appeared in his mind: "Money, it's all money!"

"Uncle Shen?"

Seeing that Shen Rong's eyes were empty, Xu Huizu hurriedly called, which made him come back to his senses.

"Master Hou, this... Can you make ice?"

"yes, it's simple. "

“...... This ice cube is more expensive than gold in the summer!!"

Xu Huizu was not answering, with a mysterious smile on his face, and even Shen Qingning began to be curious.

Xu Huizu was confident and called a few laborers to move the ore to the empty room next to him, preparing to make ice cubes by himself.

When he came to the empty room, Xu Huizu immediately ordered the workers to bring a few buckets of water.

After the bucket was delivered, he vigorously broke off a small piece of saltpeter in his hand and threw it into the bucket and stirred it, in the surprised eyes of Shen Rong and Shen Qingning, the water condensed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye as the saltpeter dissolved.

"It's... This...."

Shen Rong stretched out his hand and touched the ice cube, and he was shocked to speak a little.

"This can't be eaten, it can only be used to cool down or ice things!" (Read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Find someone to seal this room, make more ice cubes, and use these ice cubes to make clean ice cubes."

Xu Huizu was arranged.

"Master Hou, I know this saltpeter, but why can you use this saltpeter directly without processing, and it is dug out of the mine?!"

Shen Rong was able to ask this, which shows that he has also done his homework.

In fact, saltpeter has existed 2000 years ago, but those saltpeter methods are some... It's hard to talk about (curious can Baidu 0 on their own.... )

"This ore is actually the finished saltpeter, which can be used directly after being excavated."

Hearing Xu Huizu's explanation, the two of them didn't seem to understand, so they simply didn't think about it, and their fiery eyes looked directly at the ice cubes.

"Hmm.... These ice cubes can be sold, but remember to tell people that they are not edible."

"As for eating, you need to use a clean cool plain!"

"By the way, remember to take out the re-condensed saltpeter after the water freezes, it can be reused!"

Xu Huizu, who was not at ease, told him several times, and the two nodded again and again, and then looked at Xu Huizu with expectant eyes.

Xu Huizu knew what the two meant, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This inedible belongs to the Department of Commerce, let's set up an ice bureau."

"Edible ..... Let's sell it ourselves, and it won't go to the public..."

"Good!"

The two hurriedly agreed in unison, just waiting for Xu Huizu's words.

"The production of cement is also going to be improved!"

"Qingning, can the park allocate vacant land to build a cement plant now?"

"No, it's the limit of speed now, and the factories under construction have been allocated to fine salt and sugar in advance. "

"A few days ago, the building was handed over to the steel workshop, and it was impossible to reallocate it, so I had to wait for the shift."

"Fortunately, although ice making also needs space, the space needed is not too large, just find a few rooms, otherwise ice making will not be able to start immediately."

Speaking of business, Shen 3.2 Qingning was unambiguous, and the planning of the entire industrial park was like a treasure, which attracted his sideways.

"Well, that's all there is to it for now."

Taking Shen Qingning back to the Champion Hou Mansion together, Xu Huizu summoned a few maids to cut fresh fruits, serve them with cream, and a simple bowl of creamy fruit smoothie was completed.

Pushed in front of Shen Qingning, Xu Huizu looked at her expectantly and said, "Taste it, if you can, I'll write a few ingredients, you can take it and open a store."

"Hey.."

"Then you feed me?"

"Don't make a fuss, it's immoral!"

"And no one... I'm not afraid of anything..."

"I'm convinced"

Xu Huizu dug up a spoonful of smoothie and gently sent it to Shen Qingning's mouth.

"Hmm, it's delicious!"

"Hui Zu ....."

"Go on!"

“......"。
