Brother Yun was looking through the account books from the previous ten days in the house.

Since Wanning Buzhuang collapsed, Yunhuazhai's business has been getting better and better. Seeing that Brother Yun is busy from morning till night and has no rest every day, Lu Jing went directly to hire a accountant.

So now Brother Yun only needs to check the account book every ten days and do it on the day when the accountant is off every ten days. He only needs to be busy for a few days every month, and he is free again.

He originally wanted to find something else to do, but for some reason, his bitter summer was extremely severe this year. When the weather got hot, he lost his appetite and didn't want to move. The temperature is higher these days, and he feels that he has no energy.

Enduring distraction in the study, he read the account books from the first ten days, and put them aside after confirming that there was nothing wrong. Even though he was only wearing a thin layer of summer clothes, he felt that his back was already sweating.

In the summer afternoon, the house and the ground were scorched by the sun. The sun was so bright that the cicadas on the trees chirped one after another. Even though the doors and windows of the study room were open, there was still no cool breeze. Brother Yun read the ledger A little sleepy, he fell on the small bed in the study and planned to rest for a while.

When Lu Jing arrived home, the sky was already full of sunset. Even though there was no scorching sun, the temperature was still high. He led Xiao Mo into the stable, carried grapes and saltpetre back to the main house, but did not see brother Yun child's figure.

He searched both the bedroom and the main room, and finally found brother Yun who was asleep on the small bed behind the screen in the study.

Brother Yun's face was flushed with heat, and his hair was stuck to the side of his face with sweat. His brows were frowning, and there were some tiny beads of sweat on his forehead and nose. He obviously felt uncomfortable even when he fell asleep.

Lu Jing took out a handkerchief and gently wiped off the sweat for him. Brother Yun felt the movement on his face, his eyelashes trembled twice, and he woke up.

He propped himself up and sat up, and asked Lu Jing, "Has Ah Jing finished his work?"

Lu Jing smiled and said: "It's over, I picked grapes for you, and I put them in the well."

Brother Yun's eyes lit up immediately, he likes to eat fruits, and put them in the water to soak the ice It's cool and can relieve the heat, he smiled happily: "Thank you Jing, you're so kind!"

Seeing his blushing, and smiling sweetly, Lu Jing couldn't help leaning forward to ask for a sweet kiss .

Brother Yun also liked to make out with him, but it was too hot, and he couldn't bear it after a while. He stretched out his hand to Lu Jing's chest, and said aggrievedly: "Ah Jing, you are too hot." Lu Jing

suddenly After a while, after all, he was still reluctant to let him feel uncomfortably hot, so he bit his lips lightly and let him go, "Wait, I'll get you something nice."

Brother Yun was so hot that he didn't want to move, but I was really curious about what he was doing all afternoon, so after hesitating for a while, I ran to find him.

Lu Jing took the bucket and filled most of it with water. Since the saltpeter he found today was not a lot, he was afraid that the amount would not be enough, so he added some salt to the water, and put the saltpeter in after stirring evenly, and then waited quietly for the completion of the process. .

When Brother Yun found him, he saw that he was putting a large white stone into the water. Brother Yun looked at him curiously, "Jing, what are you doing?" Lu Jing smiled and said, "

Wait You'll know in a while."

He lifted the bucket into the main room, turned around and asked Brother Yun who was following him, "What do you want to eat tonight?" Brother

Yun frowned, "I don't want to eat anything."

Lu Jing stretched out her hand and pinched his face: "The flesh on his face is gone, and you forgot to take medicine to recuperate your body, right? Eat obediently, and I'll make you whatever you want." Brother Yun

languished Da Da authentic: "Then white porridge and cold cucumber."

Lu Jing made a decision: "I'll go buy another stewed pork and come back with cold salad. You've been eating cucumbers for a few days, so you need to eat some meat.

" Feeling sorry for Lu Jing running around because of him in the hot weather, he was about to say no, but Lu Jing saw through his entanglement and blocked the conversation.

"Seeing you suffer makes me feel even more distressed. My dear, I will come back

as soon as I go." Lu Jing is not afraid of heat, so he feels that the current weather is acceptable. Then buy a discount.

Brother Yun had already started a fire and cooked porridge, even made cucumbers, Lu Jing reluctantly led him out from the stove. "Didn't you agree that I'll do it? I'm not afraid of heat."

Brother Yun couldn't bear Lu Jing running back and forth to serve him, and he didn't want to let him sit with peace of mind. Lu Jing looked at the sweat on his forehead, Sighing, he led him to the main room and said, "Why don't we hire a woman to help with some chores?"

They are now living in a two-entry house, which was bought and repaired a while ago and ready to move in.

Although the yard is comfortable to live in, it is too big and it is hard to clean it. Besides, it is hot and Brother Yun is not feeling well. He can't bear to see Lu Jing busy with work alone. thought.

Brother Yun thought for a while, "I have account books and your drawings at home. If you hire someone who doesn't know the details, I'm afraid you won't be able to trust them. Why don't you go to a dental shop and buy two servants." After all, Lu Jing was not a native of the dynasty

. Thinking that the first reaction to hiring someone was to hire someone, he also felt that it made sense after hearing Brother Yun's words, so he nodded and said: "Listen to you, let's go to the dental clinic together in two days." While talking, he had already walked to the main room

, Lu Jing saw white steam coming from the bucket that he had brought in from outside the door, and he felt relieved. He smiled and led Brother Yun to the bucket.

Brother Yun was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to his side, but suddenly felt the cold air coming from around him, he turned his head to look, and saw that the water in the bucket in the house that Lu Jing mentioned before had turned into out of ice.

He looked up at Lu Jing in surprise: "Jing, is this your trick?"

He just thought it was the ice that Lu Jing tried to help him buy, although he couldn't figure out what he was doing before, But Lu Jing always liked to tease him, he thought it was Lu Jing's plan to surprise him by stealing the show.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "That's right, you just sit here and rest, I'll mix the stewed meat."

Lu Jing carried the ice bucket to the chair, motioned for Brother Yun to sit down, and he went to the kitchen to mix it quickly It's a good dish. After stirring the rice porridge for a while, I turned off the fire when I saw that it was almost done.

He filled two bowls of porridge, put the porridge and cold dishes on a tray, and carried them to the main room.

Brother Yun sat by the ice bucket, looking relaxed, Lu Jing went straight to the dining table, and said with a smile, "Come over for dinner.

" Sitting together, Lu Jing lifted the ice bucket to the side of the two of them.

He looked at brother Yun's bright eyes, and he ate two bowls of porridge with side dishes, and he felt a little more relaxed. A few days ago, he had to coax and persuade him to eat a bowl of porridge. It seems that the ice can't be broken.

Brother Yun saw that the ice in the bucket had melted a little, and his eyes felt a little distressed. Lu Jing looked at his eyes and felt weak, and rubbed his hair, "There are some left after using them, don't feel bad, they will be used in the future Yes."

Brother Yun raised his head and looked at Lu Jing in surprise, "Jing, have you found someone who is willing to sell ice?"

After asking, he frowned and muttered: "No, which store in the town sells ice like this?" How much surplus is enough for us to use for a summer..."

It was only then that Lu Jing realized that Brother Yun thought he had gone to the town to buy ice, and he thought that Brother Yun's ability to accept so high was associated with something.

He smiled narrowly and said, "Didn't you say that this bucket of ice was changed by tricks? It can continue to be changed in the future."

Brother Yun saw that he was still playing charades with himself and didn't tell himself, so he wanted to pretend to be angry to scare him, but he Thinking of Lu Jing's hard work for him all afternoon, he changed his method.

He leaned forward and kissed Lu Jing lightly, and said softly, "Tell me, Jing..."

Lu Jing: ...

Who did you learn this from? ?

His heart was numb, and he had no way to resist the coquettish Brother Yun. He stretched out his hand and took Yun Brother to sit on his lap, put his hands on his side waist, and said in an ambiguous and tender tone, "Kiss me again, Brother Yun." I'll tell you."

Brother Yun didn't expect him to be so aggressive, so he decided to pretend to be angry sooner, and as soon as he stood up an inch, he was pulled back and fell into Lu Jing's arms unsteadily.

Lu Jing leaned over without saying a word, and kissed deeply and tenderly.

I don't know how long it took before Brother Yun was let go. He leaned on Lu Jing's shoulder and panted. He didn't feel too hot because of the ice bucket next to him, so he didn't resist Lu Jing's embrace.

Because of the hot weather, Lu Jing was disgusted for several days, and now he was finally able to hug Brother Yun and be intimate with him, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Lu Jing gently stroked Brother Yun's back, and said slowly, "Didn't you see that I put a white stone in it before? It is the function of that stone that the water can freeze.

" Standing up, "What kind of stone is that, it can freeze when put into water? Did Ah Jing go to find this stone today?"

Lu Jing pulled him into her arms again and hugged him: "Yes, this stone is called saltpeter."

Now people use ice to go to the river in winter to dig ice and store it in the cellar, and seal it in summer before taking it out for use, which is extremely labor-intensive. , so summer ice is not an exaggeration to say that it is a luxury.

Lu Jing's method can actually make ice in summer, and brother Yun's admiration for Lu Jing has increased.

He was about to continue asking about ice making, when Lu Jing hugged him and stood up, Brother Yun subconsciously put his arms around Lu Jing's neck, seeing Lu Jing carrying him to the bathroom, Brother Yun blushed.

He has a good understanding with Lu Jing now, of course he knows what Lu Jing wants to do, thinking that the two of them have not been intimate for several days, and now there is ice at home, he is not as resistant as he was a few days ago, blushing Let him go.

Lu Jing lowered his head and saw his obedient appearance, the fire in his heart burned even more, but after all, he was concerned about Brother Yun's discomfort these days, so he was not willing to torment him too much, so he washed him clean and carried him back to the bedroom .

Lu Jing went to get the good grapes, put them on a plate and put them beside the bed, so that Brother Yun could reach them with his hand, and brought the ice bucket over.

Brother Yun was eating grapes, and Lu Jing was behind him wiping his hair with a cloth towel. The evening wind on a summer night still carried the residual heat of the day, and after blowing over the ice cubes in the room, it finally cooled down and turned into a comfortable breeze. , brushing past the two of them.

Brother Yun ate one by himself and then fed one to Lu Jing, and the two looked at each other with affection.

On the second day, Lu Jing boiled the melted water to extract saltpeter again, made a big bucket of ice for brother Yun, and went back to the village alone.

He was in a hurry yesterday, and he only got one piece of saltpeter. It needs to be steamed again to refine it, and he will sweat all over while waiting for refining. He plans to get some more saltpeter today, so that it is convenient to use alternately.

He set up pots to cook in the old house and Xue's house, and finally returned to the town in the afternoon with several pieces of saltpeter.

There was enough saltpeter, so he put a porcelain jar into the wooden basin, put saltpeter in the wooden basin, but the porcelain jar contained boiled, cooled and edible water.

After a while, the water in the porcelain jar froze. Lu Jing took out the porcelain jar, crushed the ice into a bowl, sprinkled it with brown sugar water, put half a bowl of grapes, and gave it to Yun who was watching him eagerly. Brother, "Taste if it's delicious."

Brother Yun felt his heart cool when he saw half a bowl of crushed ice. He scooped a spoonful of grapes and put it into his mouth. The sweetness of grapes and the refreshing taste of brown sugar ice made him I feel a cool feeling spread to the whole body, and the whole person feels refreshed. In the hot summer, this is simply a good product to relieve the heat.

Brother Yun looked at Lu Jing with bright eyes, "It's delicious! Ah Jing also came to eat."

The two of them sat together and finished eating a bowl of brown sugar grape ice. , I'm afraid that he will feel uncomfortable in his stomach if he eats too much cold.

Brother Yun stared greedily at the remaining ice in the porcelain jar, and suddenly had an idea, "Jing, how about I open a shop to sell this?"
