The weather was hot, and the fish meat was almost cooked when it entered the mouth, causing the texture to be much worse.

If the fruits in the ice bucket were replaced with fish, it would definitely taste good after drinking a few glasses.

Unfortunately, even with this ice bucket, it was useless without ice.

Madam Zhang sighed. "We can't make ice either. If only we could make ice."

Zhang Tiantian said, "Why don't we just buy some ice?"

"The weather is so hot. It takes four hours for your father and brother to eat a meal of fish. How much ice does that cost? You're really wasteful. You don't know how expensive wood, rice, oil, and salt are."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "If you want to buy ice in the future, you can deduct it from my monthly allowance."

Madam Zhang waved her hand. "How can I spend your money? If you want to eat fish, we can tell the kitchen. It's just that we have to buy this ice in advance."

Madam Zhang sounded strict but she was soft-hearted. The two children looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Master Zhang learned about the use of the ice bucket from his son. It had been a long time since he had eaten fish, so he instructed Madam Zhang to buy ice in advance.

Madam Zhang wanted to ask the housekeeper to buy 10 buckets of ice, but the dessert shop did not specialize in selling ice. At most, they could only sell five buckets to them.

The servant carried it back and a bucket of ice had even melted on the way.

There were still four buckets left. Madam Zhang hurriedly got someone to put them in the newly dug cellar, afraid that the ice would melt when the father and son returned from school.

They sat and waited. Master Zhang and Zhang Xiu had yet to return. There were only three buckets of ice left in the cellar. If they did not return soon, it would really melt away.

Just as Madam Zhang was about to send someone to Qinghe Academy to see why they had not returned, the servant said happily, "Madam, the Patriarch and Young Master are back!"

Madam Zhang hurriedly informed the housekeeper to prepare the fish.

When Patriarch Zhang heard Madam Zhang's instructions, he said, "Wait a moment before preparing."

Madam Zhang hurriedly said, "If you don't eat now, the ice we bought will melt."

Patriarch Zhang said calmly, "It's fine. We also know how to make ice."

Madam Zhang was stunned and suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. "You know how to make ice?" Seeing her son nod energetically, she asked in surprise, "Did the Great Empress teach you? Or did the Cui family tell you?"

Ice was so expensive in the summer. Cui Muzhi's dessert shop was profitting so much. How could the Cui family bear to teach it to everyone so easily?

Patriarch Zhang said, "Yes, the Great Empress got someone to write it in a book. Let's give it a try."

Madam Zhang had just thought that since their Zhang family knew how to make ice, they would build a few large ice storage cellars and store all the fruits, vegetables, and seafood in the season. They would be able to earn more money by selling them every few days.

Unexpectedly, the Great Empress actually wrote in a book.

If everyone knew how to make ice, how much money could they earn?
