    ?

    Looking at Zixuan's innocent face, Chu Lihua suddenly felt that she saw herself when she was a child.

    Those who are so ignorant are always laughed at, but in fact no one has taught her.

    Chu Lihua remembered the time when she had just transferred to the so-called aristocratic school.  Her parents only told her to live in peace with her classmates, but they all bullied her, laughed at her as a country bumpkin, and even ganged up with Labang to target her.  But he had nothing to say about his troubles, because no one would care if he said it. At that time, they only cared about the so-called business success, and didn't care at all what kind of grievances their daughter had suffered at school.

    Even when little Chu Lihua was besieged by a group of classmates, they would only blame her for coming home from school too late for not cooking for her sister?  He was beaten, made to kneel down, and not allowed to eat dinner.

    So, she later hated going to school a little bit.  Especially the Chinese class was what he hated the most, because the monitor at that time was the head of the group of children, and the monitor was the nephew of their Chinese teacher.

    Later, because I found out that reading a good book is the only way out, and the only opportunity to change my destiny, how can I work hard in the future, but because I abandoned the Chinese course at the best age, I still have regrets in the end.  Until the third grade of junior high school, he still couldn't spell Hanyu Pinyin. Of course, Mandarin has never been standard.  I can't tell the difference between a pinch accent and a flat accent.

    Thinking of this, Chu Lihua's heart ached.

    ——"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

    The little Zixuan still cared about her.

    ——"No, Auntie is very good. Zixuan, can Auntie tell you stories, just like other children."

    ——"Auntie, will you come to my house often in the future?"

    Zixuan looked at Chu Lihua expectantly.

    ——"Auntie can't promise you that you will come often, but I will definitely come here sometimes. After all, your mother and I are best friends, but Xiao Zixuan and I are also best friends!"——

    "good!"

    Chu Lihua's little face flushed with excitement even without a clear guarantee.  Chu Lihua felt that Yu Xiaqiu was too incompetent as a mother, so she had to ask her what the reason was when she had time, could it be because of her own background when she was a child?  He has already suffered a lot in his life experience, so why do he still treat his children like this?

    ——"Auntie, will you still tell me stories now?"

    Zixuan asked, full of hope but also a little worried.

    ——"Yes, yes, but I don't know much about cartoons now, but I will talk about some things you didn't know before."

    Chu Lihua said with certainty.

    ——"Well, it's okay, I like to listen to any stories my aunt tells."

    Zixuan's "auntie" made Chu Lihua feel an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was no longer the kind of avoidance that always made her feel old when calling her auntie.

    ——"Since you just talked about wanting to eat ice cream, let's tell the story of how ice cream is made, shall we?"

    After the little guy nodded excitedly, Chu Lihua began to speak after deliberating his sentence.

    The language for a six or seven-year-old child should not be too profound, but at the same time he should also let him know something other than stories.

    After Chu Lihua hesitated for a long time, she decided that it would be better to lay the groundwork first, and then go on.

    ——"Many people have a wrong view, I don't know if you have it, that is, the ancient emperors and nobles, they can enjoy better things than our era: better clothes, better use, better housing  Eat better, and most importantly, eat better. But have you ever thought, is that really the case?

    In fact, this is a very wrong point of view.  In our current life, many ordinary things that we can enjoy in basic necessities of life, in ancient times, the richest and most powerful monarchs could not have imagined.  For example, we are now heating in winter, with comfortable floor heating, doors and windows with good airtightness and insulation, and a fresh air system to ensure ventilation-such conditions are not uncommon in modern society, but in modern society  Ancient times are simply unimaginable.

    Heating can't be done, and cooling can't be done.  It was really difficult for ancient people to have some cold drinks.  That would have to wait until the coldest part of the twelfth lunar month, when the big rivers or lakes were frozen, and then special workers would go to the ice and carve the ice into big pieces, and transport them to special ice cellars, where they would be kept still during storage.  It needs to be covered with thick straw to insulate the temperature.

      Only in this way can it be preserved until the summer, and it can be cut open for use by the nobles.  According to the description of an ancient Chinese book called "The Book of Songs", about 2,500 years ago, the Chinese had already begun to store ice in a similar way.  Later, the Chinese invented the technology of directly making ice. Although the cost of this technology is high, it is also more convenient to use.

    The situation in the West is similar.  The nobles of ancient Greece and ancient Persia could already eat desserts made of ice and snow mixed with fruit juice, milk and other things.  However, at that time they were still using snow from the mountains.

    By the middle ages, the top nobles had made cold drinks a part of their luxurious life.  It is said that Catherine Medici, the queen of the French king Henry II, a noblewoman from Italy, brought some chefs from her family to France.  These cooks make things like ice cream.  Later, King Charles I of England ate these foods in France and was full of praise. He specially brought some people who could make this kind of food with him as his royal chefs.

    However, these are just legends, and there is no reliable evidence to prove that they all happened in reality. We cannot be sure, if these foods really exist, whether they have anything to do with the ice cream we are talking about now

    The earliest evidence of ice cream that we can see now appeared at the end of the 17th century, about 300 years ago.

    However, on this issue, don't think that you must pursue a result.  Because the birth of ice cream did not have a clear time point, but evolved little by little during the production process of various early cold drinks.

    By the end of the 17th century, due to the development of science, people gradually mastered the method of making ice, so foods similar to ice cream also appeared at this time.  If someone records the process and recipe of making ice cream, it will become the basis for our modern people's research.  "

    After talking for a long time, Chu Lihua felt that she had almost prepared the groundwork.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
