Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Brother Six, your pavilion is really nice. It is right next to the lake and is shaded by trees. It is indeed a good place to enjoy the shade." Like a little adult, Li Zhi walked around the pavilion a few times and praised, Si Zi has already  Climbing onto Li Min's rocking chair, he was rocking back and forth excitedly. Qinghe and another sister were guarding him on both sides, fearing that Si Zi would fall. That girl was about the same age as Li Zhi and was also one of Li Min's younger sisters.  It is also famous in history, that is Fang Yiai's wife, Princess Gaoyang. Of course, she is still a **-year-old little loli. The four of them are distinguished guests who came to visit Li Min.

    "I asked you little ones, why did you come to me when you didn't go to the palace to escape the heat on such a hot day?" Li Min asked depressedly, biting the fruit. He was originally very happy playing with the three beauties.  Occasionally, he could eat some small tofu, but when Li Zhi and the others came, his good mood was completely disturbed.

    "Well, when I open a palace in the future, I will definitely build a pavilion like this." Li Zhi didn't listen to Li Min's words at all, he just said to himself, completely immersed in his future plans for the palace.

    Li Min fell with his head on the table. He was completely defeated by these younger brothers and sisters. They came all the way to his place, but they just played and didn't say why they came. They occupied his rocking chair and ate him.  fruit, but didn¡¯t even answer his own questions.

    "Hey, there's a bowl of ice!" At this moment, Li Zhi admired the entire pavilion and walked over to take a rest. Suddenly he saw the bowl of ice made by Li Min made of sand and stone on the table.  It was quite hot at the time, so I picked it up and poured it into my mouth.

    "Don't" Li Min just wanted to shout to stop it. After all, this is ice made of saltpeter. Who knows if it can be eaten directly?  Unfortunately, he was still a step late. Because the weather was too hot, half of the ice in the bowl had melted, so Li Zhi swallowed it all in a few mouthfuls.

    "Youyou drank it all?" Li Min looked at Li Zhi dumbfounded, with a look of pain on his face.

    "What's wrong, Sixth Brother?" Li Zhi opened his eyes wide, looked at him and asked strangely, "Didn't I just eat your bowl of ice? You wouldn't be so careful, would you?" Li Zhi obviously misunderstood Li Min's expression.

    "Are youare you okay?" Li Min asked cautiously. He was now considering whether to ask someone to drag Li Zhi out for gastric lavage. It doesn't matter. Just pouring in a few kilograms of laxative medicine would probably achieve similar results.  Effect.

    "It's okay!" Li Zhi replied very easily, but then Li Zhi frowned, which startled Li Zhen. He thought he was going to die of poison, but he saw Li Zhi chirping and asking in a strange way.  : "Brother Six, why does the ice in your house taste weird? It seems a bit bitter?" When he was eating, he only felt the coolness brought by the ice water, and now he tasted the taste of the water.

    "Pheasant slave, do you know about saltpeter?" Li Min asked with a guilty conscience.

    "I know!" Li Zhi was even more surprised. Sixth brother seemed to be very wrong today?

    "That thing shouldn't be poisonous, right?" Li Min was a little unsure. Although saltpeter can be used as medicine, there are many highly toxic things in traditional Chinese medicine, and some medicinal materials rely on their toxicity to treat diseases.

    "Of course it's not poisonous. Sizi used this medicine before when he was sick. I even asked the imperial doctor about it." Li Zhi replied doubtfully, but then he added, "But it doesn't matter if you eat too much saltpeter."  Good thing, it will cause diarrhea."

    "Oh, haha, I feel relieved now." Li Min felt relieved after hearing this, and finally a big stone fell to the ground. Since it was said by the imperial doctor, it must not be poisonous. As for the side effect of diarrhea, he did not ignore it.  In my heart, no one can die anyway.

    "Qinghe, Gao Yang, bring Sizi over here and I'll show you something interesting!" Since Li Zhi was fine, Li Min ignored him and turned to the three sisters who were having fun over there.  , Wang Xijun, Wen'er, and Hua'er were all there to look after him, so they didn't notice what happened to Li Min.

    As soon as he heard that it was something interesting, Sizi immediately jumped from the rocking chair directly onto Qinghe, shouting in a sweet voice: "What an interesting thing, Sizi wants to see it, sister, hurry up and hug me!"

    Qinghe and Gao Yang were also very curious. They carried Sizi and ran to the table. Wang Xijun and the others ran over impatiently. They had been waiting for Li Min to reveal the secret of water turning into ice.

    Seeing everyone gathered around the table, Li Min took out the saltpeter he had put away before. The painting had already been painted with water. Then Li Min pointed to the things on the table and said: "Look, this is a  A bowl of ordinary water, but this is saltpeter brought from the royal physician to treat illnesses."

    Except for Wang Xijun¡¯s three daughters, Li Zhi and the other little guys all looked at Li Min inexplicably, wondering what this magical sixth brother was going to do?

    "Look, now I add saltpeter to the water, guess what will happen."Change?  "Li Min picked up the saltpeter and asked everyone with a smile. Now he imitated the teachers in the chemistry experiment class of later generations, looking like a benevolent teacher who taught earnestly. Unfortunately, the students below were not able to do their best, and all of them failed.  Shaking their heads, only Wang Xijun and the other three had already guessed in their minds, showing thoughtful expressions.

    Seeing the expressions of several students, Li Min smiled proudly and slowly poured the saltpeter in his hand into the water.  Saltpeter is easily deeper than water, so in the blink of an eye, the white saltpeter powder disappears without a trace. At this time, cold air begins to appear on the water surface, and tiny ice slag is slowly formed, and then more and more ice slag is formed.  , and slowly the entire surface formed a block of ice.

    Although they were mentally prepared, the three girls Wang Xijun were still shocked by the sight that exceeded their imagination. Their mouths were opened wide with expressions of disbelief. As for Li Zhi, Qinghe, and Gao Yang, they were not mentally prepared.  Not only were they shocked, they even thought they had seen a ghost. Each of their little faces turned pale with fright, their little chests rose and fell rapidly, they were breathing heavily, and almost screamed loudly.  After all, Si Zi was still young. She saw the water in front of her eyes slowly turning into ice. She just felt very interesting. She stretched out her hand to feel on the ice. The biting cold air immediately made her retract her little hand.

    "Brother Liu, Liu, what kind of spell are you casting?" Li Zhi asked stammering. Although he was watching Li Min pour saltpeter into the water, his first reaction was still 'spell'.  After all, this is already the fixed thinking of the ancients on mysterious phenomena.  Qinghe and Gao Yang had similar reactions, both looking at Li Min with awe.

    "Slave Pheasant, how come you are full of feudal superstitions at such a young age? This is obviously just a simple chemical reaction." Li Min said helplessly. After all, Li Zhi is also a prince, so why are you so different from Wang Xijun and others?  The same reaction as a little girl?

    "Your Highness, can water freeze by just putting saltpeter in water?" Wang Xijun seemed to understand something, but still asked in disbelief.

    "That's right, isn't it very simple?" Someone finally figured it out, Li Min replied happily.  However, Li Zhi and Qing He were still a little confused, so they continued: "Actually, this is not a spell at all. Anyone who puts saltpeter into the water can freeze the water!"

    "Brother Six, are you kidding? How is this possible?" Qinghe asked first. People with a stubborn temper are often synonymous with stubbornness. This little girl is obviously a good example.

    "I don't believe it either, unless I try it myself!" Gao Yang's temper is very similar to Qinghe's, even more stubborn and willful than Qinghe's. This may be an important reason for her emotional tragedy in the future.

    "No problem!" This was what Li Min was waiting for, and he immediately asked someone to prepare a few more bowls of water, as well as a lot of saltpeter, enough for everyone to do another experiment.

    With suspicion and curiosity, Li Zhi and the others followed Li Min's example and added saltpeter to the water. The result was no doubt that the water in the bowl turned into ice without exception.  Looking at their 'masterpiece', Li Zhi and the others looked at each other. Everyone felt extremely magical. After the initial shock, they regarded it as an interesting little trick. The two little girls Gao Yang and Qinghe even did it again.  Played it again and had a great time.

    "Wait!" Li Zhi, who was holding the ice in the bowl and looking left and right, reluctant to let go, suddenly turned pale and shouted, attracting everyone's attention. He smiled bitterly and asked Li Min, "Six  Brother, the ice I ate just now was not made by you using saltpeter, right?"

    "Ahem~, pheasant slave, this ahem~, it's not Sixth Brother telling you, you must be careful when eating in the future, don't stuff everything into your stomach, sooner or later there will be big problems!" Li Min started  He was still a little embarrassed, but then he shamelessly patted Li Min on the shoulder and gave a serious lesson.

    "Youyou" Li Zhi had a look of grief and anger on his face, and he couldn't find an excuse to get angry. After all, Li Min was not to blame for this. Who made him greedy for a moment of coolness, so he picked up the ice on the table and ate it? Li Min thought  It's too late to stop him.

    "Ouch~, I have a stomachache!" I don't know if it was a psychological reason or a real drug effect. Li Zhi suddenly felt like a knife in his stomach. He didn't care about causing any more trouble for Li Min and ran down the rockery.  He was looking for the toilet, which made the girls Qinghe and Gaoyang laugh.

    "Brother Six is ??so bad, he always teases Brother Ninth." Sizi has the closest relationship with Li Zhi. When she saw Li Zhi making a fool of himself, although she giggled with joy, she still did not forget to defend her Ninth Brother.  .

    "Sixth brother and I can't be blamed for this." Li Min picked up Sizi and put it on his lap, smiling, "It's such a hot day, why did you come to Sixth Brother if you didn't go to the palace to escape the heat?  "He had already asked Li Zhi this question just now, but Li Zhi was only focused on planning his future palace and did not reply at all.?.

    Hearing Li Min¡¯s question, Xiao Sizi immediately pouted, looking very dissatisfied.  Qinghe next to him sighed and said: "Sixth brother, it's not because the weather is too hot. Those of us who have always been in good health have no appetite, not to mention that Sizi has been delicate and frail since he was a child, and has dietary taboos.  There are too many. She can't eat this or that. She hasn't eaten well for two or three days. Today, Sizi finally wanted to eat a portion of beggar's chicken, but was stopped by Dr. Sun, saying that chicken was too yang-yang.  It¡¯s heavy. The weather is too hot now, so Si Zi shouldn¡¯t eat too much, so I replaced it with duck meat, which Si Zi doesn¡¯t want to eat.¡±

    When she said this, Qinghe rolled her eyes at Li Min. Of course, the doctor Sun she referred to was Sun Simiao. It was Li Min who recommended him to the palace. Now, in addition to treating Queen Changsun, Sun Simiao also treats Sizi, who has been frail and sick since childhood.  According to him, Sizi has some congenital deficiencies and is susceptible to invasion by external evils. Medicines and stones are somewhat toxic, so it is best to focus on dietary supplements. Now everything Sizi eats must be approved by him.  Just fine.

    "Sister Qinghe, don't blame Dr. Sun. Sizi also wants to thank him for curing his mother's illness. It's because Sizi himself is not good and can't eat duck meat." When he said this, Sizi's mouth flattened and he was about to cry.  When she came out, although Sizi was very sensible, she was only a three-year-old girl after all. It was not easy for her to understand things so well, and the grievances in her heart could not be hidden no matter what.

    Seeing such an endearing Si Zi, Li Min couldn't help but hug her tightly. His heart was full of his brother's pity for his little sister. At the same time, he also understood the reason why they came to him. After the last Five Kings Banquet,  Who doesn't know that the delicacies of Prince Liang's Mansion are unparalleled in the world? If the Wang family's Dengxian Tower had not launched the authentic Five Kings Banquet early, people would probably come to his house every day to enjoy the autumn breeze.

    "Okay, Sizi, don't cry. Isn't it just a portion of beggar's chicken? If you don't let me eat it, I won't eat it. There isn't much else here, Brother Six, but there is as much delicious food as you want." Li Min comforted with a smile.  It was already noon, and it happened to be time to eat, so Li Min asked Wen'er to make more in the kitchen and eat in the pavilion. Wen'er agreed and went down to prepare.

    Within a quarter of an hour, a sumptuous meal was served. The staple food was rice, with juice. The dishes were not many but very novel. They were all developed by Li Min in the kitchen based on the dishes that later generations would eat.  The style is exquisite and the aroma is fragrant. Considering the hot weather, the main soup is sour radish and duck soup which is very suitable for summer. The sour taste is appetizing, refreshing and nourishing.  It was a coincidence that Si Zi had just said that he didn't like duck meat, but as soon as the soup was served, Si Zi sniffed, obviously liking the taste of the soup.

    "Haha, you are a little late today. I have set the lunch dishes according to my taste. I don't know if they suit your taste. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. I will eat at Liu Ge's place in the evening as well. If you want to eat  Just let the kitchen cook everything for you, don't be polite." Li Min looked at the three little girls who were almost drooling and said with a smile.

    "Brother Six, I just realized today that you talk a lot of nonsense!" Gao Yang rolled his eyes at Li Min and said. She didn't feel hungry at first, but when she was attracted by the fragrant food, she immediately felt as empty as wild food in her stomach.  I wanted to start eating right away, but I didn't expect that Li Min kept talking.

    "You little girl!" Li Min reached out and flicked Gao Yang's forehead in an angry and funny manner. He waved his hand and stopped talking nonsense: "Eat!"

    The little girls who couldn't wait for a long time immediately picked up their chopsticks, picked up their favorite dishes and stuffed them into their mouths. Sizi picked up a spoon and wanted to drink the old duck soup, but unfortunately his hands were too short and couldn't reach it. Li Min hurriedly  He took the spoon and scooped a bowl of soup for Si Zi. Si Zi's maid next to him wanted to come up to serve her, but was stopped by Li Min. There was no need for them to take care of the brother and sister when they were eating, as long as he was there to watch.

    Li Min and the others had a great time eating, but they all forgot about the unlucky Li Zhi. When Li Zhi came back clutching his stomach, they had almost eaten the food, and Li Zhi was so angry that he left some of the food.  He scooped all the dishes into his own bowl and took Si Zi to hide aside to eat, which made Li Min dumbfounded.

    Maybe it was because of the novelty of the dishes. Not only Qinghe and Gao Yang ate happily, but Sizi also ate a lot, especially the sour radish and old duck soup. Since it was Sun Simiao who ordered Sizi to eat duck meat, it must have been him.  The truth is, and Si Zi also likes the sour taste, so Si Zi drank more than a bowl of this soup, and ate less than half a bowl of rice and a lot of vegetables. Li Min and his brothers and sisters looked very happy.  Happy.
