She originally planned to set up a stall to sell cold drinks, but after careful consideration, she decided that selling ice cream would be a safer option, considering the difficulty of climbing the mountain and the risk of spilling the drinks.
At this moment, Little Winter Melon reminded him, "Host, once it's decided, it can't be changed! Why don't you think about it for one night before deciding?"
"No need to consider it."
Why has this old winter melon spirit become so long-winded, like a mother hen?
He Yang rushed to the Yun residence early in the morning to watch the magic show. He never expected that the stones he had collected would turn into ice after coming into contact with water.
"This...this is too fantastical! Boss, are you a fairy sent down from heaven?"
After saying that, He Yang couldn't wait to reach out and touch the ice. "Wow! It's so cold! It's real ice."
Not only was he excited, but Yun Haodong, Fang Lanzhu, and Yun Xiaochen also looked at the large blocks of ice with excitement.
"Dad, Mom, we're running low on ice in our cold storage. I'll replenish it in a bit. From today onward, we'll use ice without restraint. We'll keep some ice in every room to cool it down, including Uncle He's family."
Yun Haodong replied with a smile, "I understand."
My daughter is amazing!
After spending time with her, I found that she was wonderful in every way. Not only was she kind-hearted, but her cooking skills and culinary skills were also superb.
"Our He family's cold storage is big enough, but it's practically empty. We're short on ice lately, and I haven't had any ice in my room for days to cool it down. I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly these past few days because of the heat! Boss, please have pity on me!"
Knowing that He Yang was trying to gain sympathy, Yu Zhizhi didn't agree to his suggestion. "We have to keep this ice-making business a secret and not tell anyone. I'm afraid it will cause us trouble. The main purpose of making this ice is to make ice cream to sell at our stall."
He Yang nodded in understanding, then asked curiously, "What is ice cream?"
Yu Zhizhi patiently explained, "Eating this will cool you down; I guarantee you'll like it."
Upon hearing this, He Yang's eyes lit up, revealing an expectant expression.
Yu Zhizhi continued, "I can't give you big blocks of ice, but I can still give you ice cream; this summer and autumn, I'll provide as much ice cream as you want."
He Yang was finally satisfied: "Thank you, boss!"
Due to the tight schedule, Yu Zhizhi did not have much time to waste. After quickly making the ice, she took He Yang, her mother Fang Lanzhu, her younger brother Yun Xiaochen, and Xiao Tao to the mountains outside the city to pick wild fruits.
This time she made a variety of ice creams, many of which featured fruit. Since there was plenty of fruit available for free on the mountain, she certainly didn't want to spend the money to buy it.
They set off excitedly, hoping to pick enough fresh fruit to make refreshing ice cream.
As for Yun Haodong, Yu Zhizhi had already given him the ice cream mold design she had drawn last night, and he would go outside to have it custom-made later.
Additionally, the ice cream wrappers.
She plans to use oil paper to wrap it, and then pick it up from her own grocery store.
The Grand Tutor's Residence.
Lin Qianyu was painting in the garden of the villa when her personal maidservant hurried to her side and reported:
"Miss, the secret guards have sent word that the Emperor has appointed the Sixth Prince to be in charge of protecting the people during this year's prayer festival."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianyu stopped painting, a slight smile playing on her lips, secretly pleased with herself.
She already knew about the Prayer Festival, which was why she had her guards keep a close watch on it. She never expected the Emperor to appoint the Sixth Prince to oversee it entirely—truly a stroke of luck!
It seems I can make good use of this opportunity to have a chance encounter with the Sixth Prince. Maybe I can even catch his attention...
However, she wouldn't place all her hopes on one person.
She hoped to use this prayer festival to have a chance encounter with the Sixth Prince, but she also didn't want to let another big fish slip by.
They had no choice but to invite the fourth prince to go to Mount Putuo to pray for blessings.
She immediately wrote a few lines on a blank sheet of paper and whispered to her personal maid, "Go to the Fourth Prince's residence right away and deliver this letter to him."
"Yes, ma'am."
As dusk falls, the setting sun casts its golden rays upon the earth, creating a golden spectacle.
Yu Zhizhi and her group returned to the Yun Mansion with a bountiful harvest.
The eight large baskets were filled with bright red hawthorns, golden wild apricots, purplish wild grapes, pink wild peaches, golden mangoes, and some wild fruits whose names I didn't even know.
These wild berries are colorful and have an enticing aroma; although some of them have a tart taste, they are perfect for making ice cream.
Before going to bed, Yu Zhizhi called He Ping'an over and said, "Go to the cattle farm tomorrow morning and buy five buckets of milk."
"Yes, miss."
He Ping'an found it a bit strange, because milk itself has a goaty smell that many people don't like. But he didn't say anything, after all, the young lady must have her reasons for doing this.
Since the real Miss Yun returned, he not only tasted the novelty of stinky tofu but also enjoyed an unforgettable hot pot feast. Who knows what surprises await him this time?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel filled with anticipation.
Moreover, the young lady, master, and mistress treat their family very well. Not only do they never skimp on their meals, but now they've even added ice to their room.
Looks like I can finally get a good night's sleep starting tonight.
This treatment was even better than that of many owners of mansions.
No wonder the young master of the He family follows the young lady around all day, calling her "boss".
There are only two days left to make ice cream!
At dawn, just as the hour of Chen (7-9 AM) arrived, Yu Zhizhi woke up from her sleep. She quickly washed up, had a simple breakfast, and then hurried to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, all kinds of ingredients were ready.
Fresh fruit, rich milk, sweet sugar, plump red beans, round mung beans, fragrant tea leaves, and creamy yogurt.
In addition, there are custom-made ice cream molds, delicate wooden sticks, and soft parchment paper.
Yogurt is an essential ingredient for making delicious ice cream. However, a lot of yogurt is needed, so Yu Zhizhi decided to make it herself.
Fortunately, she had already redeemed some yogurt in the virtual shopping mall as a starter beforehand.
She quickly poured the yogurt into a large bowl filled with heated fresh milk and gently stirred it.
Next, she carefully placed the bowl on a wooden tray filled with hot water, and covered it with the lid of the wooden bucket to let it ferment quietly.
Just then, Yun Haodong and Fang Lanzhu finished their breakfast and came to the kitchen.
"Zhizhi, is there anything we can help you with?" they asked warmly.
