Chapter 167 Ice Powder
Li Wanyue put the soaked red beans in a small casserole to cook, washed a piece of gauze, wrapped the dried fruit seeds in it, put it in a basin of clean water and rubbed it repeatedly until the water became a little viscous.
Place the bowl on a basin of ice and wait for it to solidify.
After an hour, the ice jelly solidified and became crystal clear.
After the red beans are cooked and cooled, cut the powder into small pieces and put them into a bowl. Add brown sugar water, red beans, and some chopped pulp.
Li Wanyue asked Xiaolan and the others to bring the ice jelly to the table.
"Try it, this is ice jelly."
Everyone looked at the crystal clear food and couldn't help but take a bite. The cool and smooth taste, coupled with the sweetness of brown sugar and red beans, was simply delicious.
Li Dachuan praised: "It's delicious and refreshing."
Wang Guixiang asked: "Little sister, do we need to peel out the seeds from those fruits?"
"Yes, all peeled off."
"Okay, I'll peel it later."
"Let us help peel it too." Xiaolan and Xiaotao raised their hands immediately.
Li Wanyue smiled and touched her head: "Peel it well and there will be a reward."
The children's eyes sparkled.
Zhao Suying pulled Li Wanyue into the house and said, "Yueyue, since your second sister-in-law's family knows about this, if you want the fruit again in the future, why not let them pick it too? They also want to make some money to make their family better off. Your second sister-in-law is not the same as before. She will have to live with your second brother in the future. After all, they are in-laws, so it's not good to make things too ugly."
Li Wanyue thought about it and realized that it was not that the daughter-in-law who married into her family was not allowed to support her parents' family. It was just that the Sun family had not been kind in the past.
But my mother is right, we have to get along with each other after all.
The second sister-in-law is honest and does not make trouble. She works hard and does not give unconditional subsidies. She nodded and said, "Okay, I will use these first. If there is a need, let them pick them. You can also tell the eldest sister-in-law that her family will also pay for the duck eggs."
"Okay, you are a sensible person. I will go and tell your eldest and second sisters-in-law."
Zhao Suying breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go out.

That day, Li Wanyue and Li Sandong went to the county town with ice jelly.
The owner of Zuixianju in the county town also knew Li Wanyue, and they would accept any prescription as long as it was from Li Wanyue.
So I came directly to the county town and showed it to the two families.
As soon as the two arrived outside the city, they saw tents built in the open space outside the city gate.
There were several porridge stalls set up around, and some people were distributing porridge. Groups of ragged people were queuing up to get the porridge.
Are these refugees fleeing the disaster?
When we entered the county town, we didn't find so many beggars. Perhaps all the refugees had been resettled outside the city.
Baiweilou.
Shen Yu tasted the ice jelly and nodded repeatedly: "This is perfect for summer. No, what's wrong with your brain?"
Li Wanyue smiled: "It's just seasonal food, only in these two months."
"Where's Fangzi?"
Li Wanyue handed him a piece of paper.
After Shen Yu saw it, his eyebrows raised. It was so simple. Why had no one discovered this way of eating?
Li Wanyue showed him the two green fruits and explained to him the difference between the two.
"If you want me to provide this fruit seed, you have to pay a different price."
Shen Yu agreed: "It takes some time to find this kind of fruit. How many seeds do you have? Can you give them to us first?"
"I can only give you fifty kilograms temporarily. If you need a large amount, I will go back and collect some more."
"Okay, take back as many as you can. I want them all." Shen Yu said, and then reminded: "We are closer than the Qin family. You have to focus on my side first, and give less to his side."
Li Wanyue smiled and nodded in agreement, since she had made a lot of money from him.
Thinking of something, she asked, "By the way, why are there so many ragged people outside the city?"
Shen Yu sighed, "They all came from Rongzhou City. It's the flood season there, it's been raining continuously, the floods have burst the dikes, and the refugees are fleeing. There are quite a few refugees from the nearby counties.
Ayan has arranged some people to dig potatoes, but there are too many victims and not enough places to accommodate them, so they are placed outside the city. He has been very busy during this period and is exhausted. Do you want to go see him?"
"Why would I watch him? I can't help him." Li Wanyue paused, then said, "But you should also persuade him to take care of his health and not get exhausted. There are so many things waiting for him."
"Don't worry, I will definitely convey your message."
Li Wanyue: “…”
What message did she ask you to convey?
Then he asked, "Did you also send people to distribute porridge outside the city?"
"I didn't give out porridge. I gave out steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and occasionally dumplings. We'll wait for the disaster relief grain to arrive in a few days. When the flood recedes, we'll let them return to their original registered residence and help them rebuild their homes."
Li Wanyue sighed inwardly and said, "Then you can donate some food on my behalf and deduct it from the dividends."
"good."
After chatting for a while, Li Wanyue and her brother left and went to Zuixianju.
When I arrived at Zuixianju, I happened to meet Qin Yunyi at the door.
After not seeing him for a while, he looked better.
Li Wanyue said: "You look good."
Qin Yunyi said gently, "I also feel better, thanks to the method you suggested. I moved some of the flowers and plants outside, and no longer put flowers indoors. I replaced the pines and cypresses near the yard with green bamboos, and tried to cover my mouth and nose when I went out. Sure enough, I slept better, and I feel more energetic than before."
"I think my health will get better and better in the future."
Qin Yun also smiled and nodded: "Are you coming to eat?"
"No, I brought some goodies. Let's see if your store will accept them."
"Oh? Then I have to open my eyes and go in and talk."
The two walked into the store, went up to the second floor, and saw the door of a private room open.
When a few people came out and saw Li Wanyue, there was displeasure in their eyes.
When Liu Ruyun saw Qin Yunyi, her eyes widened and she subconsciously murmured, "Master Qin."
How come I see him here?
Some bad memories suddenly emerged in her mind, making her face pale.
Gao Zhiyuan was right beside her, so he naturally heard it. Master Qin? How could Yunniang know him?
Li Wanyue also thought it was bad luck and walked away.
When Gao Conghui saw her, she thought of how her family had compensated her with five taels of silver, leaving her with only this set of silk and cotton clothes.
She quickly stopped her and said angrily, "Why are you here again? Can you stop hanging around us like a fly?"
"Then why are you waving in front of me? I turned around and ran away when I saw a fly, but the fly insisted on chasing me and waving in front of me. If you think you are annoying, don't bother me like a fly."
"You..." Gao Conghui's face turned red with anger: "Do you know that we are the distinguished guests invited by Master Zhu? Master Zhu will be here soon. I advise you to apologize to me now, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
"You came here to ask for a scolding, and you still want me to apologize. What's the logic behind this? If you don't want Master Zhu to know that your family is after money and falsely accusing others, then shut up. Do you want me to show Master Zhu the reputation you wrote earlier?"
Gao Conghui was choked for a moment.
Qin Yunyi stood in front of Li Wanyue and said, "Miss, please don't disturb our distinguished guests. Otherwise, don't blame me for asking someone to ask you to leave."
"I was invited by Master Zhu, how dare you let me out?"
"Master Zhu? I know him too, but unfortunately, this is my shop. Whoever I tell to leave has to leave. Besides, does Master Zhu know that you are bullying others by relying on his power?"
