Chapter 11: Magical trick, hot tea turns into cold ice

"Azhi, open it and have a try!" Zhao Chen pushed the wooden box in front of Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi looked back at Empress Changsun. Seeing that Empress Changsun didn't stop her, she curiously opened the lid of the wooden box.

Rich milk flavor, accompanied by refreshing coolness.

The first thing you see is a bright red strawberry.

"Brother, what is this?" Li Lizhi pointed at the strawberry, eyes full of curiosity.

Strawberries are native to South America, and there is no such thing in the Tang Dynasty now.

Zhao Chen also got the seeds from the system and tried to plant some, which happened to be mature in the past two days.

I thought about putting it in Haagen-Dazs for a different taste.

"It's hot summer, Zhao Chen, where did you get the ice cubes from?" Li Shimin suppressed the disbelief in his heart and looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.

The same is true for Queen Changsun.

Even the palace stores a lot of ice cubes every winter in anticipation of the next hot summer.

Or distribute some rewards to meritorious courtiers.

Zhao Chen is just an ordinary tavern keeper, where did he get these things?

"I made it myself." Zhao Chen smiled lightly.

Seeing Li Lizhi in front of her eating a mouthful of cream, she took out a clean handkerchief from her arms.

Wipe your cheeks clean with her.

"self-made?"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were immersed in what Zhao Chen had just said, and did not notice Zhao Chen wiping Li Lizhi's face.

Both of them were thinking to themselves that they had never heard that ice cubes could be made.

This magical thing that only exists in the winter, they are satisfied enough if they can save some of it to cool down in the summer.

Zhao Chen actually said that he could create such magical things on a hot summer day.

I have never heard of such a magical method. Could it be a magical secret?

Li Shimin was a little shocked.

I also thought about Zhao Chen's calligraphy and painting skills and his unparalleled cooking skills, and I no longer knew what it felt like.

"Zhao Chen, can you really create this ice?" Changsun

The queen couldn't believe it.

This is really shocking.

If such a person comes to the palace to offer a treasure, Queen Changsun will definitely use the demon to cause chaos in the country as an excuse to capture him.

But this is what Zhao Chen said.

They have already seen all kinds of extraordinary things about Zhao Chen.

Queen Changsun actually vaguely believed that Zhao Chen had such magical means.

"Let's give it a try!" Zhao Chen smiled.

Glancing at the table, there were only four cups of steaming tea.

"Just use this and wait until I turn the hot tea into cold ice!" Zhao Chen took the tea cup in front of Li Shimin.

"Zhao Chen, this is hot tea. The cup is hot to the touch. How can it turn into ice in an instant?" Li Shimin couldn't believe it when Zhao Chen said this.

He even speculated in his mind whether Zhao Chen was going to use some kind of deception later on?

"Zhao Chen, how can hot tea turn into ice in an instant? Don't make fun of your aunt!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.

She also didn't believe what Zhao Chen just said.

I have never heard of anyone being able to freeze water into ice in the summer.

What's more, the tea is still steaming.

On the contrary, the soft-spoken Li Lizhi looked at Zhao Chen with conviction, "I believe in brother."

Li Lizhi's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun chuckle.

He also knew that she felt comfortable eating here today, so she said this.

Seeing several people who didn't believe it, Zhao Chen just smiled.

"You two, watch out!" Zhao Chen put his right hand on the mouth of the tea cup with a warm smile on his face.

Li Shimin and Queen Changsun both stared at the tea cup under Zhao Chen's palm.

Inadvertently, a white crystal the size of a rice grain fell into the cup.

Zhao Chen retracted his slap and sat back on his own

s position.

"Is this... the end?" Li Shimin saw Zhao Chen retracting his palm, but he didn't see the hot tea condensing.

"Zhao Chen, you are not lying to me..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin saw a layer of frost suddenly appear on the hot tea in the cup in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the tea in the teacup condensed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Snapped--"

With a crisp sound, Li Shimin and Queen Changsun saw a crack burst out of the tea cup.

"Snapped--"

Before they could react, the teacup completely cracked from the middle.

The condensed tea rolled down in the center of the table with the cold air.

A hint of cold air slowly emerged from the tea ice.

hiss--

This time Li Shimin finally couldn't suppress his inner shock and took a deep breath.

The man also stood up from his stool.

Looking at the ice lump on the table, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Empress Changsun didn't speak, her beautiful eyes looked at the ice mass, and her breathing was a little heavy.

Where do these magical methods come from?

"Hey, it's so cold!" Li Lizhi stretched out her little finger and exclaimed softly when she felt the coolness coming from her finger.

Li Lizhi's exclamation also brought several people back to their senses.

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with shock in his eyes.

"Zhao Chen, are you really not a disciple of the Immortal?" Li Shimin said slowly.

He didn't know why he asked such a question.

But if he didn't ask this question, Li Shimin always felt that it was difficult to calm down.

"There are no immortals in the world, it's just science." Zhao Chen smiled and shook his head.

Saltpeter can be used both as a medicinal material and as a means of condensing water into ice.

It’s just that no one noticed it.

\u003c

br\u003e The crystal the size of a grain of rice just now was just a piece of saltpeter.

"Science..." Empress Changsun didn't know what science was, so she couldn't help but murmured.

"I saw that Azhi also likes to eat Haagen-Dazs, so Uncle Fu gave all the remaining ones to Azhi as a little gift!"

"Zhao Chen, what's wrong with this? My aunt came here without bringing anything. How can she eat and take it at the same time? It's not appropriate!" Empress Changsun immediately refused.

"Haagen-Dazs has a cold nature. I am born with an angry illness and I can't bear it. Staying here is just a waste!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

He couldn't even smell the slightly pungent smell, how could he let such cold food enter his throat.

This is why he can't drink cold water on hot days.

"Zhao Chen, I remember that Sister Wang didn't seem to have any gas problems. Why did you..." Queen Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of sigh in her eyes.

Such a genius is actually the same as himself. Because of his Qi disease, even a normal life has become a luxury.

I'm fine, at least I have filial children and a husband who loves me, but what about Zhao Chen?

His parents have passed away, leaving only an elderly servant.

I don’t know how the young man persists in such days.

It was so difficult, yet there was such an achievement.

Compared to Zhao Chen, Changsun Chong is really nothing.

Come to think of it, Zhao Chen, who was able to write "I can live my whole life in the mist and rain", must have looked down upon everything because he was suffering from Qi disease!

Queen Changsun sighed secretly in her heart.

"The young master's qi disease is natural. When I was washing the two young masters, I found that my young master had difficulty breathing." Uncle Fu stood aside, shaking his head and sighing.

"Fortunately, in the past six months, the young master's complexion has improved a lot. Maybe the prescription of Doctor Xue is effective."

"The cough in the yard just now is the first time this month!" Uncle Fu said again, looking at Zhao Chen with a worried look.
