Chapter 011 High Temperature Disaster: Ice Powder 1
Lin Muqiu also tasted it and was very confident in his cooking skills.
Once upon a time, her family was poor, and she cooked for herself when she grew older, so her cooking skills were really good.
Looking at Yun Yi with a satisfied look on her face, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smile.
She used to cook out of necessity, but now she does it willingly. When she thinks about the happiness that someone will help her open a shop, her happiness comes slowly like the bright moon and gentle breeze.
At this moment, she was drinking jelly juice alone under the moon. Although he was just a product provided by the system, she still felt a sense of companionship.
This feeling hasn't appeared for a long time since she started working 996 hours a day.
She smiled and handed the jelly with special medicine to his mouth.
He didn't even ask what was added, he just swallowed it in one gulp.
At that moment, his eyes seemed to be electrocuted and gradually widened.
A slight chill ran down his spine into his mind, like a surging wave crashing onto the shore, carrying away a lot of mud and sand, and washing away the heat of the day.
He licked his lips, craving for flavor. "Master, what is this? Why do I feel cold all over as soon as I eat it?"
Lin Muqiu felt that he was like a well-behaved golden retriever, so he raised his eyes and smiled, "We've added some herbs that can help control the summer heat. In the past, these herbs were mistaken for poisonous weeds, so no one collected them."
Yun Yi didn't understand any of this, so he said with full fighting spirit: "Master, please teach me how to do it next! I will definitely do it well!"
Lin Muqiu was tired after a day of work, so he didn't refuse. He just said "OK" and taught him.
After finishing preparations for tomorrow, I lay on the extremely soft bed, but I felt vaguely uneasy.
For some reason, this late night is particularly hot, as if a ball of fire has penetrated into one's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, making it so hot that it makes one's blood boil.
This is not a good phenomenon.

The next day, Lin Muqiu got up early and added a new dish: a sign for selling jelly. However, when he opened the door, he found that the street was empty.
It's like sitting in a desolate and empty city, which is even more outrageous than the empty city plan.
Lin Muqiu suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up at the scorching sun with a halo around it and frowned.
Glancing down, I saw the earth was cracked and scorched by the sun, with large lines like terrifying lightning, making it impossible to walk. Even the flowers and trees along the roadside were wilted, drooping and devoid of life, as if they had been subjected to inhuman torture.
Weird thoughts flashed through her mind.
Will the natural disaster come earlier this year?!
After looking for a long time, a figure finally appeared on the distant street.
The woman held the potion and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Summer disasters are coming early. Be careful of burns and drought! Remember to drink water!"
Lin Muqiu recognized that it was Medea, and quickly waved at her, calling her over.
Medea drank a lot of water from a bowl in Lin Muqiu's shop, and finally felt relieved of the heat.
She put down the bowl, her lips curled up from the dryness. "I was just looking for you. This year is so unlucky, the natural disaster came early..."
Needless to say, Lin Muqiu knew what she was thinking. "You want me, as an ice mage, to help you out?"
Medea subconsciously gripped the rim of the bowl. "You're really clever. There must be a lot of people suffering from heatstroke today. You must help. If you need a subsidy, you can discuss it with the lord."
Seeing her nervous look, Lin Muqiu shook his head and said, "That's not necessary."
After saying that, Lin Muqiu used magic to bring buckets of river water and poured them on the shop's roof. Layers of water sprinkled on it like a heavy rain, giving the shop a smooth and delicate waxy texture.
Although Medea was confused, she did not stop him.
Ever since Lin Muqiu helped her several times, she has become a die-hard fan of Lin Muqiu. She believes that he must have a way.
After watering, Lin Muqiu used the skill [Freeze] to freeze the water on the house into ice.
The cold air spread and the wooden house turned into an ice house.
Under normal circumstances, this ice house would definitely make people feel nauseous, but at this moment in the summer disaster, Medea felt extremely comfortable intuitively, her head was excited, and she sighed repeatedly.
While stretching her muscles, she secretly sighed, wondering how strong Lin Muqiu's magic power must be to have turned the house into an ice cave.
After finishing, Lin Muqiu dusted off his hands and said, "Any customer who has made a purchase in our store can sit in the shop for a while for free. You can spread this message to everyone. Thank you."
Medea nodded sharply, her eyes filled with admiration, "It's really not a bother."
At this moment, she looked at Lin Muqiu with more pious eyes.
Setting up the house as an ice house can, on the one hand, increase traffic to the inn, and on the other hand, provide a place for people to rest and recuperate before getting heatstroke, which really kills two birds with one stone.
Only she could come up with such a brilliant idea.
Medea was even more touched when she thought about how cheap the food was. She was even more generous. "I want 11 French fries, 20 potato towers, 21 potato chips, 36 potato balls, and 55 mashed potatoes!"
Lin Muqiu smiled caringly, "You don't have to buy so much just to take care of me."
"Oh, that's not it," Medea scratched her head. "The townspeople who walk around the streets ask me to buy it. They say they feel craving it if they don't eat it for a day. Some also asked me to tell you to save some for them. They like to eat it fresh. They will definitely come back when the weather is a little less hot."
Lin Muqiu: "..."
On the Self-cultivation of Foodies
There was no reason not to make money, so Lin Muqiu and Yun Yi immediately started cooking. Fortunately, there was no rush, so they slowly lit a fire and started frying the dishes.
The hot oil pan emitted heat that made people feel warm, forcing the sweaty Medea to take two steps back and get goosebumps all over her body.
The Ice Mage is worthy of being an Ice Mage. He doesn’t even feel hot when cooking in the summer!
After walking away, she noticed something new on the menu. "Huh? What's that ice jelly? It's 30 copper coins?! And it's limited?! Wait, why is the same ice jelly 15 copper coins, and it's not limited?"
Facing her continuous questions, Lin Muqiu answered them one by one, "The ice powder is icy and cool, and it can relieve the heat. The 30 copper coin one contains medicine that can resist summer disasters, so it is limited. The 15 copper coin one contains endurance supplements."
Medea thought for a moment and said, "Give me one for 30 copper coins."
Although it is expensive, fortunately she can afford it.
But she didn't hold out much hope for relief from the heat.
In the past, some people sold summer products under the guise of alleviating summer disasters, but it didn’t work at all and was just a novelty at best.
She thought that what Lin Muqiu made might be the same, and it might be able to relieve some of the heat, but that was the effect of the ice.
There is no specific cure for natural disasters.
But she still bought the expensive one, because there was a voice in her heart that kept muttering to herself: What if it works...
After Lin Muqiu handed her the ice jelly, she scooped a spoonful of the cool and chewy jelly into her mouth and stopped her wild thoughts.
The moment the tip of her tongue touched the jelly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
There's even ice in it! Ice is a good thing, and it's a scarce commodity in the summer!
And not to mention the distance, just the taste, the ice jelly is really delicious.
It was cool and smooth, and melted in the mouth. The watermelon flavor was fresh, pure, clean and thorough, which made her internal organs come alive. The refreshing blood rushed to her body, making her reluctant to chew and swallow it.
She ate it mouthful by mouthful, and in the end she didn't even waste the remaining juice, but directly picked up the bowl and drank it.
After eating and drinking her fill, she was sweating profusely and dozed off a little. After a long time, Lin Muqiu packed up the dishes and gave them to her. She finally woke up from her dream and got up to leave with her bulging backpack on her back.
Looking at her departing back, Lin Muqiu fell into deep thought for a rare moment.
Maybe we can start a takeout business.
In this case, recruiting employees should be put on the agenda more urgently.
In the future, there will still be a need for people to run errands, sell goods, cook, and collect goods, so there is still a big gap.
As for Lin Muqiu's contemplation, Medea just wanted to deliver the food quickly.
After all, what she was carrying was not potatoes, but the expectations of the whole town.
Fortunately, the lingering sweetness in my mouth melts away the bitterness of summer.
She quickened her pace and walked for a long time, a hint of surprise flashing through her mind.
Did the weather improve at noon, or was it just her psychology? Why did she feel less hot?
*
It was not until four or five in the afternoon, when the heat dissipated and the sun was about to be covered by dark clouds, that people began to come to Lin Muqiu's shop.
The first to arrive were Lind and Alex.
Lind walked in, put down his backpack, and shouted, "The fresh potatoes you requested are here! Just count them! Oh, and give me a potato tart, potato chips, and mashed potatoes! Hey, what's this... ice jelly? Just give me two bowls for 15 copper coins!"
Lin Muqiu asked casually: "The 30 one has a miraculous effect against heat and poison disasters, and the 15 one has endurance supplements."
Lin Decai didn't believe it. "It's okay. I'll buy some ice jelly to try first."
Lin Muqiu nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare.
Watching the two people's skillful conversation, although Alex did not stop them, he felt uneasy in his heart.
Is it really that delicious? Lind kept talking about it for a long time, insisting on walking such a long way in the hot summer to eat it.
He refused to obey, but Lin De still spoke righteously, saying: Medea said that Lin Muqiu built an ice house here to withstand summer disasters. You got heatstroke last time, and I am worried about you!
Alex didn't believe a word of this.
Judging from his enthusiasm, it is obvious that he wants to eat potato chips.
With this in mind, he still sat down with his collar raised.
Anyway, the ice house is quite cool. Layers of cold air are rising and spinning, as if performing an extremely graceful dance.
Soon, potato chips, potato towers, mashed potatoes and ice jelly were served on the table.
Lind ate the potato tower like a skewers and enthusiastically recommended it: "Mashed potatoes are the best!"
Looking at the steaming mashed potatoes, Alex couldn't hide his disgust. "It's summer time, eating something as greasy as potatoes is fine, but who wants to eat something hot?!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of potato chips and put them in his mouth.
The next second, his expression changed drastically.
