Chapter 115 Lemon Honey Water
Wen Zhenyi saw his disgusted expression and said, “Grandpa Shen, this thing will become sour if you eat it like this, but it contains a lot of things that are good for the human body.”
"Really? But who can eat something so sour?"
Wen Zhenyi smiled and washed a few lemons. These were all natural and pollution-free fruits and vegetables, so she didn't need to wipe them with salt.
She took a few lemons to the kitchen, found the honey, cut the lemons into thin slices and removed the seeds.
Add some honey and chilled boiled water, stir thoroughly, and a bowl of chilled and sour lemon honey water is ready.
She also put mint in the bowl to add a cool feeling.
The best way to taste it is to add a layer of honey and a layer of lemon and marinate it in the refrigerator for two or three days. Unfortunately, there is no refrigerator here and their store does not have an ice cellar.
However, Wen Zhenyi still plans to try making it with saltpeter.
She returned to the backyard with a bowl of lemon honey water: “Grandpa Shen, try it. It doesn’t taste so good now. If it is marinated for another day or two, it should taste better.”
Mr. Shen looked at the lemon and honey in the bowl and was ready to eat so much that his teeth would fall out.
Shen Hanxing took a bowl from the tray and took a sip: “It has a fruity aroma, the sweetness of honey, and a cool feeling.”
Mr. Shen looked at his grandson, who looked at him doubtfully: "Is it really delicious?"
"You try it."
Shen Xiucai took a small sip from the bowl and blinked, "It's quite delicious. It doesn't taste like medicine like herbal tea. It has a completely fruity aroma. A little sour, but acceptable."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a smile: "Isn't it not difficult to drink?"
"Yeah, it's pretty good." He pointed at the passion fruit and said, "Is this the same?"
"Yes, these are all very good things, and they also have a certain whitening effect."
Wen Chengwen has already bought a lot of jars.
Ma Yinghe washed the jar and put it aside to dry, and it would be ready for use soon.
"Brother Shen, please help me draw something."
"What?"
"A machine."
Shen Hanxing wiped the water stains on his hands and came to the table beside her with her.
Wen Zhenyi took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and gave them to him, then described it to him.
She wanted to try making a shaved ice machine, but there was no stainless steel here, so she wasn't sure if it would work. She could only give it a try, and if it didn't work, she'd have to give up.
Shen Hanxing drew what she needed according to her description: “Did you see it right?”
Wen Zhenyi took a look and said, "Oh right. There's one more thing."
"You tell me, and I'll draw for you."
Wen Zhenyi also described to him the frying pan he needed.
Chen Hanxing looked at the pot strangely: "Is this a pot?"
"Well, this is a frying pan. It's very convenient for frying omelets and the like. It's also quite easy to use."
"I see. Is there anything else you need to draw?"
"That's all there is right now."
"Is Mr. Wen here?" There was another knock on the door of the shop outside.
This time, Wen Chengwen looked confused and looked at Ma Yinghe and Wen Zhenyi: "Did you buy anything?"
Both shook their heads: "No."
"I'll go take a look." Wen Chengwen stood up and walked towards the gate.
Wen Zhenyi also followed curiously to the gate. When he opened the door, he saw two burly men, one older and one younger, holding two enlarged iron plates in their hands.
She then remembered that she had asked Old Man Wen to help make the iron plate.
The older blacksmith smiled when he saw Wen Chengwen and said, "Boss Wen, this is the iron plate your father ordered from me. We brought it to you. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be altered."
Wen Chengwen looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, take a look and see if this is what you want."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and walked up to the two of them and greeted them, "Master Blacksmith, please put it on the ground so I can take a look."
The older blacksmith saw Wen Zhen and laughed, "How do you know I'm a blacksmith and not a clerk?"
"The muscles in your arms are real. You've been working as a blacksmith for a long time, so you have calluses on your palms and knuckles."
"You are a smart girl!" he said, putting the iron plate on the ground.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the iron plate on the ground. It was very thin. It looked big, but it was actually not very heavy. It showed that their craftsmanship was really good.
She could easily pick it up with one hand, but she had to be careful when using the iron plate as it could easily get dented, which would affect its use.
The blacksmith looked at Wen Zhenyi and examined him carefully. "Boss Wen, this large iron plate is made very thin as required, but it is easy to get dented. If you accidentally dent it, bring it to me and I will repair it for you."
"That's really too much trouble for you."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Wen Chengwen watched the two men walk away with beads of sweat on their foreheads. "If you two don't have anything urgent to do, come sit inside for a while and drink some water before leaving."
"No, no, we have to go back to the store."
"Master Blacksmith, please have a drink of water before you leave. I want you to make two things for me."
"Excuse me for disturbing you then." The two blacksmiths walked into the hall and sat down.
Wen Chengwen took the large iron plate to the kitchen and put it away. He then brought them the lemon honey water that Wen Zhenyi had just made. "Try it, both of you. This is the lemon honey water my daughter made."
"This looks so refreshing, so we won't be polite." He picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
Wen Zhenyi took out the drawing that he had just asked Shen Hanxing to draw and put it on the table for them to see: “Master Blacksmith, this is what I want to make.”
The blacksmith looked at the frying pan and said, "This isn't difficult." When he saw the other object, he became puzzled: "This will take some time."
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. If you can do it, do it. If you can't, just tell me."
"Okay, I'll try." He drank up all the water in the bowl and said, "Miss Wen, do you sell this lemon honey water?"
Wen Zhenyi was slightly stunned: "Of course I sell it, but the taste is not very good now."
"It's already excellent for us. I want to buy some with you and take it back for my mother and wife to try."
Wen Zhenyi smiled at him and said, "Okay, but you have to wait for me for a moment. I'm out of what I just made, so you need to wait a while. Also, I don't have any jars or anything like that for you to take away."
"That's easy. I'll ask my son to go to the grocery store and buy a jar."
"Okay, I'll buy it back later and you can just give it to my dad. I'll make it for you now."
"Thank you."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and stood up, going to the kitchen to make lemon honey water for the blacksmith's family.
Ma Yinghe also brought in the washed lemons and washed the passion fruit peel.
