386 It’s Always Delicious
Xue Dafu and the others could help with that, so they also helped to scrape the saltpeter.
After scraping the saltpeter clean, Xue Sifu started to chisel the ice, breaking it as much as possible. Then he took out the two tied bamboo tubes and washed them with water.
At this moment, Jiang Yue took out the frozen popsicle from the bamboo tube with a thin stick.
Unlike ice, which was transparent, this one looked like a popsicle, it was white and had a smooth surface. This one was quite pretty.
!!
Jiang Yue placed one popsicle on a plate and went to get another.
This was easy to mirror. Xue Yan, Xue Sifu, and the others also helped to carry the popsicles. Soon, 20 popsicles were brought out on two plates, with ten popsicles on each plate.
Xue Wufu stared at the two plates of popsicles without even blinking.
“Wufu, quickly send two sticks to Grandpa!” Xue Dafu immediately said.
“Father, we don’t even know if it’s good or not, why are you rushing?” Xue Erfu laughed.
Xue Dafu laughed, “It’s definitely delicious! There’s nothing that’s not delicious when it comes to the food that Jiang Yue makes!”
Xue Sifu smiled, “I’ve already sent Grandpa a bowl of crushed ice in the afternoon. Grandpa is old and he shouldn’t be eating too much ice. Let’s forget about it today. I’ll definitely make more in the future. I’ll send it to them then.”
“That’s fine, that’s fine.” Xue Dafu was still chuckling.
Xue Wufu swallowed his saliva. He hungrily looked at the popsicles on the plate. Then, he asked, “Shouldn’t we give this thing a name? That’s right, Jiang Yue, aren’t you especially good at giving names? You can give this one a cool name.”
Xue Dafu and the others immediately turned to Jiang Yue.
“It’s actually like ice,” Jiang Yue said. “It’s like a popsicle, so let’s call it a popsicle.”
“That is a good name, a very good name.” Xue Dafu was the first to agree. He felt that there was no better name than this.
“Let’s eat,” Jiang Yue said. “It’ll melt if you don’t eat it now.”
“Alright, alright, let’s all eat,” Xue Dafu said. “Yifu, send one stick each to Hehua and Guixia. They’re cooking.”
“Okay.” Xue Yifu immediately went over, holding a popsicle in each hand, and brought it to the cooking shed.
When Liu Guixia and Li Hehua saw the popsicle, they were overjoyed. After delivering the food, Xue Yifu came back and took a stick for himself.
Xue Erfu also gave Yu Hongyan a piece, but she still shook her head and smiled, “I’m pregnant, so I should eat less ice.”
“Have a taste and I’ll eat the rest. One bite shouldn’t be a problem.” Xue Erfu laughed, bringing the popsicle to her mouth.
“I think you just want to eat two.” Yu Hongyan said with a smile. Although she said that, she felt sweet in her heart. After she finished speaking, she also took a bite.
It tasted really different from the crushed ice, it was much sweeter.
Xue Erfu was worried that it wouldn’t be good for her body to eat too much ice, so he stopped her after seeing her take a second bite. There would be plenty of opportunities to eat it in the future. Today was the first time Jiang Yue made it, and he just wanted to let his wife have a taste of this popsicle.
After the popsicle was bitten, he naturally ate the rest.
Although the sun had set and the sky was almost dark, it was still a little hot, especially for someone like him who had been out in the sun for a whole day and had worked hard all day. This popsicle was just right for him. It was extremely cool.
Jiang Yue was also holding a popsicle and eating it slowly. She had eaten this kind of popsicle before and knew what it tasted like, so she didn’t feel as excited as the rest.
