C2172 mutual probing (1/2)
”My God! ”You're not satisfied with such an army?” Prince Edward could not stay calm at all. Any country in Europe with such an army would treat it as a weapon for their own country, a sharp sword in the hands of a king.
However, it seemed like in Xiao Letian's heart, the outstanding performance of these soldiers today was merely a pass. The soldiers didn't complain at all, as if they really needed to improve before they could do well.
Each unit had their own class as their core and formed a small group. Under the command of basic officer, the soldiers carried the cold tea that the Evil Doctor Huang had already boiled, passing spoons back and forth in the hands of the soldiers.
The Evil Doctor Huang's secret brewing method was used to cool off the summer. Not only were there various kinds of Chinese medicine, he had also creatively added the westerner's usual lemon juice, as well as salt and white sugar.
The ice cubes from Buckingham Palace's chefs were poured into cold tea, and the heat of all the soldiers vanished in a single spoonful.
Xiao Letian did not answer the prince's question formally. Instead, he waved to the soldiers beside him, and in a short while, two large water jugs filled with tea were sent over.
”Prince, try the mysterious summer drink in the east! You don't need tea leaves! ”
Edward looked around with the military kettle in his hand, and a cold air came out from the mouth of the kettle. He carefully took a sip, and the smell of Chinese herbal medicine immediately entered his nostrils.
”My God, what is this thing? It's too strange!” After saying that, Prince Edward wanted to vomit.
”Don't puke. If you swallow it down, you will definitely have a different feeling …” Xiao Letian quickly advised.
Letting a European drink some Chinese medicine, Xiao Letian could really imagine that the prince would not want to be impolite and could only forcefully swallow this strange cold tea. However, the cold tea had just entered his stomach when his expression changed.
The herbal tea was ice-cold, sour and sweet, with a little bit of salt added on it. Although it tasted weird, the moment it entered his mouth, all his internal organs turned cold.
It was as if the crater of a volcano was suddenly pressed down with millions of tons of snow. The cool and clear feeling immediately made his dizzy state clear up, and his anxious mood calmed down.
”What is this …?” Is this how you avoid heatstroke? ” the Prince asked eagerly.
Europeans' diets differed greatly from those of the Orientals. They loved meat more, and high-calorie foods were prone to getting hot and dry, let alone hot summers.
The Prince knew that every summer the British army suffered a great number of cases of heat stroke, especially among the colonial garrison close to the equator.
Today, when he shouted out the mysterious Chinese medicine from the East to cool the tea, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
Xiao Letian seemed to have guessed the prince's thoughts, ”I just saw many soldiers of the imperial guards faint from the heat. You can ask them to come and get some soup for the summer.
Prince Edward gulped down half a pot of cold tea. He said comfortably, ”Leader, it seems like I have to find a time to visit the following Asia. It's too amazing!”
”Are you selling this recipe of the mysterious soup?” ”I am willing to pay a high price for it …”
”Hahaha …” Xiao Letian laughed and patted the prince's shoulder. ”Respected Prince, I can't possibly sell the milk cow for money, right?”
