After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 203 Rainbow Smoothie
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was innocently taking the bullet for the two men. She felt as if she were the innocent third party standing in front of them.

They're so innocent!

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless, so she quickly called the Emperor and the others in. After all, there were too many people around outside, and the atmosphere was awkward once inside. However, Su Xiaoxiao still quickly arranged a room for the Emperor.

When the Emperor visited Su Xiaoxiao's home, he exclaimed, "Your home is even more impressive than our palace!"

Su Xiaoxiao touched her head sheepishly, "No, I was just pretending."

"You can actually relieve yourself indoors?"

The Emperor continued to marvel.

"Chugong" means going to the toilet. Of course, ordinary people just call going to the toilet "going to the toilet," but for the emperor, it really was called "Chugong."

The Emperor seemed quite excited about Su Xiaoxiao's rescue.

He said to Su Xiaoxiao, "You're quite skilled. Would you consider making me the commander of the Imperial Guard in the future?"

Su Xiaoxiao broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. Had the Emperor really assigned her such a high-ranking official position so suddenly?

However, the thought that the commander of the Imperial Guard was a woman made her find it quite amusing.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly pretended to be very sincere and answered seriously: "Your Majesty, I still prefer to spend my whole life working in the fields and dealing with grains. I am just a country person, and I will be content if I can live a peaceful and honest life."

When Pei Yuan heard Su Xiaoxiao say that, he suddenly looked at her intently, his gaze seemingly melting her heart.

Su Xiaoxiao felt Pei Yuan's burning gaze and quickly looked away, lest she get burned.

Since His Majesty has graced us with his presence, Su Xiaoxiao cannot prepare a casual dinner.

This food was specially prepared for the Emperor, so of course it had to be carefully selected.

Su Xiaoxiao prepared a welcome banquet for the Emperor, which was a hot pot with a spicy broth.

Actually, everyone likes to eat it. The most important thing is that it's convenient and easy to prepare.

After finishing the steaming hot pot, Su Xiaoxiao felt like she was being steamed alive. It was late August or early September, the peak of the lingering summer heat.

So at this time of year, it's quite depressing. The frogs are croaking and the cicadas are chirping outside. That's just how summers are in the countryside. But after a while, you don't really feel it anymore.

The emperor seemed to be hearing these amusing sounds for the first time. They sounded like a chorus of frogs, even better than the music played by the professional court musicians he had heard in the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that if the emperor had a recording device, he would probably record all these lovely voices.

Everyone was feeling a bit hot, and of course there was no air conditioning at home, but Su Xiaoxiao decided to make them a smoothie this summer.

The ice that Su Xiaoxiao ordered from Mr. Li of Ci'an Hall has been delivered.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about what to do with the ice, the hot summer weather was perfect for making some shaved ice to cool everyone down.

Su Xiaoxiao built an ice cellar in the basement of her house. The ice cellar wasn't very big, but it could store a lot of ice.

When Su Xiaoxiao went to her family's ice cellar and opened it, a blast of cold air rushed out.

Instantly, Su Xiaoxiao felt refreshed. She used a hammer to knock off a small piece of ice, estimated that it was enough for everyone to eat, and then carried the ice block out of the ice cellar.

Making smoothies is actually very simple. Just put the jam on top of crushed ice and stir it slightly. Su Xiaoxiao has orange jam, grape jam, and strawberry jam at home. Today, she also picked some cherries from someone else's house and made some cherry jam as well.

Su Xiaoxiao made many bowls of smoothies in different flavors. She felt that eating a bowl of such refreshing jam would instantly make one feel refreshed.

The Emperor was even more curious than Da Bao and Xiao Bao; Su Xiaoxiao had completely overturned the Emperor's image.

He was the emperor, above all others, in the imperial court, but now he's become the king of Su Xiaoxiao's two children at her home.

Before he could catch up with his good brother Pei Yuan, he became good friends with the two children and they got along very well.

"I'd also like to try the grape-flavored smoothie."

The emperor spoke.

Everyone had only eaten half of their shaved ice, but the Emperor's bowl was empty, so he asked Su Xiaoxiao for more shaved ice.

"Your Majesty, while shaved ice is delicious and refreshing, eating too much can be bad for your stomach, as it is a very cold food..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, one bowl is enough."

The old man next to me, Liu, had only eaten a tiny bit of his shaved ice when he started shivering from the cold.

"Sigh, I don't eat this every day. I just wanted to try something different. It's okay, having an extra bowl won't hurt."

Having no other choice, Su Xiaoxiao had to hand the Emperor a bowl of grape-flavored shaved ice.

After enjoying the fruit, the emperor went and mixed all the jam together to make a smoothie. He took a bite and exclaimed with delight.

"Delicious, Su Xiaoxiao, look what I've invented!"

The emperor exclaimed excitedly, "This is a novel way of eating! I'm a genius!"

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that the Emperor would be able to apply what he learned to other situations and learn on his own. He truly deserves to be called a genius who loves to eat. Is he a glutton or a gourmet?
Tomorrow is the rice harvest time, and while everyone is sweating profusely in the fields, we can make some mung bean smoothies to cool them down.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao led her people to the fields to harvest. The Emperor and Eunuch Liu, disguised, also went to the fields with them.

Actually, everyone could tell that the weather was very hot during the wheat harvest, and they didn't have much energy.

The morning was fine; I was in a good mood at first. But by noon, the sun was shining on me, and I started to wilt.

They looked even more listless than the crops in the field. Su Xiaoxiao quickly brought out the shaved ice for everyone, serving it bowl by bowl. Following the latest way of eating invented by the emperor, each bowl of shaved ice was topped with several different flavors of jam.

The colors were all over the place, and the emperor even gave this shaved ice a very nice-sounding, but very vulgar, name: "Rainbow Shaved Ice".

Okay, if that's the case, then this smoothie named by the emperor should be popular now.

Su Xiaoxiao also sprinkled some crushed peanuts and red bean paste on top, which added a different texture.

The workers who came to help Su Xiaoxiao's fields all asked Su Xiaoxiao, "What is this, Boss Su?"

"This is rainbow shaved ice."

"It's sweet and sour, it tastes so good!"
