So Li Mumu decisively gave up the idea of adding ice to the fruit tea.

　　What she is considering now is whether she can use some ice in the store to act as a refrigerator, to cool down the fruit tea and also to relieve the heat.

　　And the consumption of ice cubes is not as much as putting them directly into the drink.

　　It's worth a try.

　　The only problem is how to store the ice for as long as possible.

　　It's impossible to have a big ice cellar like the one in the palace.

　　There was a bronze device in the palace, which was very similar to the refrigerator of later generations except that it could not supply electricity. It could be used to chill fruits in the summer.

　　It's just because ice is rare, so it is only brought out in summer.

　　There are not many of these things even in the palace.

　　As far as Li Mumu knows, there is one with the saint, one with the queen mother, and one with the prince.

　　There is no other place.

　　There are only three of these in the entire palace, which shows how rare they are.

　　Li Mumu didn't expect to be able to find someone to make this thing, so he wondered if he could make a simpler version that was smaller and cheaper.

　　Just extend the storage time of ice cubes as much as possible.

　　Li Mumu went to find Master Guan.

　　Master Guan is knowledgeable and experienced, perhaps he knows something.

　　Unexpectedly, when I went to look for Master Guan, Gu Baijin was also here.

　　When I heard what Li Mumu said, I immediately became interested.

　　He said he wanted to study it together with Master Guan.

　　However, this cannot be researched overnight.

　　Even if it is researched, it still takes time to produce it.

　　So Li Mumu asked Master Guan and Gu Baijin to study it first.

　　She started with the drink recipes.

　　As for the fruit teas she drank in later life, such as Xxue, XiX, and ChaXdao, Li Mumu only knew roughly what was put in them, but she was not sure about the proportions.

　　The proportions need to be constantly adjusted.

　　Li Mumu used the available fruits on the market and selected citrus, peaches, apricots, hawthorns, bayberries, grapes and pears.

　　For tea, I chose green tea and Jin Jun Mei.

　　Naturally, I didn't choose any top-grade tea. I just chose a very ordinary grade tea, which I brewed into a fragrant and refreshing tea.

　　I also bought dried roses, dried jasmine and dried osmanthus.

　　flower.

　　Li Mumu uses hawthorn and bayberry with a green tea base and adds a little dried jasmine.

　　I kept adjusting the ratio of hawthorn and bayberry, and then adjusting the sweetness, and finally I got the taste I liked.

　　Citrus and grapes are used with the black tea base, and dried osmanthus and a little sugar are added.

　　Peach and black tea with a hint of jasmine.

　　Li Mumu tried various combinations, as well as separate citrus and green tea bases.

　　Apricots and pears with a black tea base.

　　Hawthorn and apricot with a green tea base and a hint of rose.

　　Also, try rearranging and mixing these fruits, teas and dried flowers together to see if you can create a new flavor.

　　Li Mumu mixed each combination and poured them into small teacups.

　　I made a mark on the paper and stuck it on the teacup.

　　It just so happened that everyone in the Gu family was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard at this time.

　　The capital city had already been hot since mid-May. Now it was the end of May and it was so hot that people were losing their spirits.

　　Cicadas in the yard were chirping non-stop, and occasionally a little wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.

　　Father Gu sat on a recliner drinking tea and said to Mother Gu, "It's really hard to go from luxury to frugality. When we were in Yong'an Village, the summer was much hotter than in the capital. We worked outside under the scorching sun."

　　"You were busy doing housework with your daughter-in-law at home, feeding chickens and ducks. I worked in the fields with my sons under the scorching sun. We did this for months and years without feeling exhausted." Father Gu said, "Although the sun was high in the sky and the weather was scorching, it was still unbearable, but we managed to get through it."

　　"Now we don't have to do anything at home all day long. It's not even June yet, and we don't have to work every day. Instead, we're too sunburned to move, and it's very difficult." Father Gu shook his head and took another sip of tea.

　　"Who said it wasn't true?" said Mother Gu. "It's so hot, I don't know what Mu Mu is busy doing in the kitchen. Gu Mian, tell Madam to have a rest."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mumu came over with a few servants.

　　The servants were holding trays with many tea cups lined up on them.

　　"Mu Mu, what have you figured out?" Wang Cuizhen asked curiously.

　　"This is a newly developed fruit tea." Li Mumu said, "I have been studying the combination of fruit and tea these days."

　　"Fruit and tea? What is this?

　　"What does it taste like?" Zhang Caiping asked curiously.

　　"How about you guys try it?" Li Mumu said, "Now that the weather is getting hot, I thought if possible, I would sell it in the shop. It can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Drinking a cup of this on a hot day is very refreshing."

　　"Because there are many flavors, I put a name on each cup." Li Mumu said, "I will write down which one you think tastes best."

　　The servant brought the tray in front of everyone.

　　Gu's father and mother stared at him, as they were illiterate at first.

　　But since they came to the capital, Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu's status became higher and higher.

　　They felt that they would inevitably go out to socialize, and they could not embarrass Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu, so they also spontaneously practiced calligraphy.

　　He can even speak a lot of idioms.

　　Although I can't recognize all the characters now, it's enough.

　　The same is true for Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping.

　　Now everyone looked at the name on the cup.

　　"Jasmine, Hawthorn, and Plum?" Mother Gu asked curiously, "What is this?"

　　"This is Hawthorn Bayberry Jasmine Green Tea made by brewing green tea and dried jasmine flowers with water, adding hawthorn juice and bayberry juice, and mixing bayberry pulp. But if we call it that, the name is too long, so we call it Jasmine Hawthorn Bayberry."

　　"This name is quite catchy." Mother Gu took a sip and looked at Li Mumu with surprise, "It tastes good! It has the sour taste of hawthorn, the sweetness of bayberry, and the fragrance of jasmine. Add the taste of green tea, it's refreshing."

　　Mother Gu savored it, "Even after a long time of swallowing, my mouth still feels sweet and full of aftertaste."

　　Mother Gu said, taking another sip, "There's also bayberry pulp!"

　　"Green tea alone is too bitter. This is better." Gu Baiyuan looked at the words on the cup. "Mine is Rose, Grape and Pear. It smells so good! It has the scent of grapes, pears and roses."

　　Gu Baiyuan smacked his lips, "My mouth still smells delicious."

　　"My cup is Osmanthus and Poppy Mandarin Oranges. I like the scent of osmanthus." Gu Xiuxiu said.

　　"What is a popcorn?" Wang Cuizhen asked curiously.

　　"Mom, please try it." Gu Xiuxiu handed a cup to Wang Cuizhen.

　　Wang Cuizhen shouted, "The beads inside are..."

　　"It's the pulp of the citrus fruit, and it feels like popping pearls when you bite it. It's a mixture of osmanthus, green tea and citrus, so it's called Osmanthus Popping Pearls."
