When Debbie received a private notice from Tetis to start learning the etiquette and skills that a maid should have, she knew that as long as she finished her studies, she would not be driven away.

Realizing this, the woman who had suffered many hardships burst into tears on the spot.

Tetis let her cry for a while before she said, "Cherish the opportunity His Highness gave you."

Debbie was so crying that she couldn't speak, she could only nod vigorously, and she swore that she would always be loyal to the beautiful princess.

But that was a little bit later, and now she and Allie got Ella's things and her lunch back.

The lunch was put aside for the time being. Ella poured half of the water into the big pottery pot she brought, then poured the soybean milk she brought back into the small pottery pot, then put the small pot into the big pot, and finally put theThe saltpeter was crushed and put into a large basin.

Because don't know how much saltpeter is needed to freeze the water, Ira pours it in little by little until ice crystals appear in the water in the small basin in the middle.

When she came back after lunch, the water in the large basin had frozen, while the soybean milk in the small basin had not completely solidified, and traces of liquid could still be seen on the edge.

Ella poked the ice in the small basin with her chopsticks. The ice layer on the surface of the soybean milk was already thick, but the middle part was still liquid. After a while, they should be completely frozen.

When Aila was doing these things, the maids watched the whole process, and now they saw ice cubes steaming in two basins. The three maids of Sathya had never seen ice before, so they couldn't recognize it, but they lived in the past.Debbie in Miou continent took a deep breath.

She didn't even control her mouth, and blurted out: "Your Highness, can you do magic?"

Ella raised her head and glanced at Debbie when she heard the words. Debbie, who realized that she had said something wrong, knelt down and apologized in panic.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, I'm talking nonsense, please forgive me!"

Knowing magic is not a good thing in the Miou continent. People who are said so will be considered wizards, especially women will be called witches. At this time, there are already some signs of targeting witches in the Miou continent, althoughThe witches they are talking about are just ordinary women who know herbs and medical skills and can cure diseases and save lives.

"It's okay, you don't have to be so nervous, get up." Ella motioned her to get up.

Seeing that she was not angry, Debbie stood up tremblingly, but she almost fell back on her knees in fright when she stood still.

"Maybe I really know magic, not necessarily."

She said it in such a teasing tone that Debbie wasn't sure if she was joking or not.

The episode between them confused the three of Tetis, who couldn't understand each other, but seeing Ella's relaxed expression without any signs of anger, Tetis also wisely refrained from asking.

Their curiosity is all on the misty clay basin.

"Your Highness, put it down quickly, be careful not to burn it."

In the cognition of the three Sathya women, only hot water can emit heat. Naturally, they thought that Ella heated the clear water in some special way. Worrying that she would be scalded, Tetis quickly asked her to put it down.

"This is ice, it won't burn your hands."

The clay basin was originally placed on the low table, but now Ella moved it to the round table. This table is one of her new furniture. It is a simple and lightweight log-colored round table with four chairs.

The table had been cleared of the used dishes, except for a jug of wine and a few glasses, which was as much a daily drink as beer, and Ella would occasionally drink some wine, as there was no such thing as a completely clean place.Water is drinkable.

The daily water used by the palace comes from groundwater, but the quality of groundwater in the palace area is very average. It is not sweet and has a faint silt smell that cannot be removed, even after boiling.

At the same time, the underground water system here is connected to the nearby Inlula River. There are many wild animals in the river. don’t know how many bacteria are in the water. Without professional filtering equipment, the groundwater is fine. Even if the river water is boiled, there will be certainWhat's more, people here don't boil water to drink, they only drink raw water, thinking it's cooler and doesn't waste fuel.

Compared with well water and river water that tastes bad and is not necessarily clean, people with conditions prefer to use beer and wine to meet their daily drinking water needs, even for civilians.

Of course, Ella has a silver cup of spring water, and she has no shortage of clean and delicious water to drink, but this is not a secret that can be discovered by others, so she also drinks a little wine every day to hide her eyes.

The wine she drank did not add any seasoning, it was the purest wine. The winemaking technology at this time was indeed not as good as that of later generations due to the limited conditions, but the wine that could be supplied to the royal family would not be any worse. Compared withIt is definitely better than those ordinary wines that can be bought in supermarkets. At the same time, because of the climate of Sathia, the taste of their wines is mainly refreshing and pleasant.

Because Ella didn't drink much, the wine that was sent was only a small can, but there were several wine glasses, except for a lotus bronze cup that she used exclusively for herself, and the rest were for people who might have a cup at any time.Prepared by the visitors and the maidsthe royal rule, everything that is imported needs to be tasted by the waiter to make sure it is not poisonous before it enters the master's mouth.

Although Ella is not a member of the royal family, Tetis has implemented this point very well. She has seen too many scenes of poisoning and killing, and she dare not take this aspect lightly, even if Ella is new.An enemy of life, but Tetis is sure that there is no one now, and there will be some in the future. As long as His Majesty's goodwill for her does not fade, danger will always exist.

But Ella can't accept the cups that others have drunk before drinking for herself, so she has this set of wine glasses that have been stored in the bedroom.

She took the small basin out of the big one, and put the wine jug next to it into it to cool it down. The ice in the small basin was broken, and the soybean milk mixed with ice slag was poured into several cups.

The ice cubes in the small basin were crushed and mixed with soy milk and poured into several cups.

Ella greeted the maids: "Come here and have a taste."

Tetis and the others did not hesitate. Ella was a generous host, and she often shared food and drinks with them. Now it was just a glass of steaming soy milk, and no one thought it was so precious.

But when they picked up the cup and felt the coldness passing from their fingers, all indifference disappeared.

"What's this?!"

Even the most well-informed Tetis had never seen ice, let alone the two little maids.

On the contrary, after feeling the temperature, Debbie told them excitedly: "This is ice, Your Highness made ice!"

After touching the coldness, Debbie felt even more that Ella's previous words were not a joke.

This is really a magical princess!

If she was still in her hometown, she might have some doubts, but this is not the Mio continent that excludes witches. Sathya believes in the gods, and temples of different gods are scattered throughout the territory. Even the palace has temples of the gods.The priests living inside have a high status, and the high priest is considered to have magical abilities. If the princess really has special abilities, she will be regarded as the messenger of the gods here and get better treatment.

She gesticulated and explained to Tetis and the others what ice was, but she didn't say a word about the guess about Ayla. But even so, after they understood it, the eyes of the three of them looked at Ayla changed.They are respectful to Ella, and now they have turned into awe. Like Debbie, they can only draw closer to Ella's magical power for this incomprehensible phenomenon.

With this understanding, everyone is as cautious as drinking holy water when drinking iced soy milk.

"It's delicious."

In this hot weather, there is nothing better than sipping a cold drink.

Ella drank the soy milk and pointed to the ice basin on the table: "After the wine is finished, you can freeze the beer. You should like the taste of cold beer."

Debbie couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, won't these ice cubes melt?"

Unbeknownst to Ella, it was also the first time for her to use saltpeter to make ice, but saltpeter can be reused, so even if it melts, it can be re-iced.

"You also saw that I added saltpeter to it just now. Adding this kind of thing to water can quickly cool down the water and freeze it. However, water with saltpeter added cannot be drunk. Only soy milk that is frozen through a water basin can be eaten."

At the end, she added: "If you want to eat ice cubes, the water used to freeze them must be boiled before eating, otherwise you will easily get sick."

The Sathiya language she has learned can't speak too long at once, so this is spoken in Fairy Tale Continental and needs Debbie's translation.

After hearing this, the maids did not lower their awe because they knew how ice was formed. On the contrary, they felt that Ella looked more miraculous than the priests in the temple, and she knew such knowledge.

They are here in the hot Sathya, even the high priest of the temple can't make ice, but this princess can, no matter what method is used, it is enough to shock them.

And think about the role ice can play in the hot season. Who can resist the temptation of ice?

If the princess used this method to make more ice and sell it, how great the wealth would be.

But His Highness told them how to make it so easily.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I swear to the gods, I will never tell anyone else about this method."

In the era when the gods were believed to exist, swearing to the gods was the heaviest promise, and few people would disobey them, especially swearing to the gods, which was enough to show their sincerity.

Ella smiled: "There is no need to keep it secret. Ice making is not a difficult task. Even if you don't tell me, others will know about it sooner or later, but remember to keep it a secret these days."

This is her secret weapon for preparing a banquet for King Sathya. If the king knows about it, it will be a little less amazing.

When she said this, Tetis and the others immediately understood, and originally Tetis wanted to persuade Ella to send some iced drinks to His Majesty, but now she obediently keeps her mouth shut.

But because of this, everyone has a little more expectation for the meal that Ella is about to prepare.
