Chapter 158 Formation of the Ice Cellar
With the news of the saltpeter, Dafu naturally didn't have to run around, but hurriedly contacted the medicinal material dealer, and went to the saltpeter mine with the medicinal material dealer.

When Da Fu came back, he brought back a large piece of saltpeter, which was enough for Gou Qi to use for one summer this year.

And the medicinal materials used for disinfection and sterilization are almost the same. The most important thing is that the iron tanks and other things she customized are back, and they can be stored in the cellar.

"Miss, do you burn it in the cellar like this?" Yuzhu spread all the medicinal materials in the cellar, and then asked Gou Qi.

"Well, although I don't know if it can be ignited, there is only one entrance in this cellar. If there is not enough oxygen, it will be troublesome." Gou Qi didn't understand what Yuzhu said, but she still let Yuzhu light it.

Polygonatum started from the innermost part, and when the fire ignited, it ran out quickly, and then squatted at the cellar door with Gou Qi to watch the fire burn.

"How could it be burning so slowly?" Yuzhu looked at the fire in the cellar, and it didn't burn as fast as she imagined.

"Because there is only one air inlet here. If you look at the stove at home, there are several air inlets, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is burning, it will be fine. Burn slowly, and the smoke can stay in it for a while. , but be careful not to turn it off."

Gou Qi looked at the fire in the cellar, worried that the fire would not be able to burn, and then she would have to use other methods to burn it.

Sure enough, not long after, Yuzhu said that the fire was extinguished.

"Then wait, we'll burn in sections after the oxygen re-enters the cellar." Gou Qi had no choice but to wait.

Gou Mu and the others looked at Gou Qi burning the cellar, and came to see it from time to time, for fear that Gou Qi would be injured, and in the end they would watch the fire go out, and they couldn't figure out why.

According to their cognition, there should be no problem, but now the fire is indeed extinguished, and Gou Qi still doesn't let them go in to see the situation, so Gou's mother just left a sentence to tell Gou Qi to be careful , and then went to the kitchen again.

After Gou Qi confirmed that there was oxygen in it again, she asked Yu Zhu to call Gou Kang'an, and then asked her to

Let Gou Kang'an hold a brazier, go in and slowly burn the walls and ground of the cellar inch by inch.

At the same time, he took a fan to fan the brazier, which made the medicinal materials burn well.

It's just a bit troublesome, one is carrying the brazier, the other is fanning the wind, and the other is responsible for constantly adding medicinal materials to the brazier.

But in Gou Qi's opinion, as long as the wall is burned once, the little things in the earthen wall will be burned to death, so her cellar will be much safer.

In addition, the medicinal materials are burned, so the safety factor is naturally better.

The burning plant ash can also play a role in sterilization and disinfection. After the entire cellar is burned, the cellar can barely reach the level of safety that Gou Qi thinks.

The next step was to scald the iron cylinders for ice making. After everything was ready, Gou Qi finally started to make the first piece of ice in the cellar.

The method is naturally to use a large tank to cover the iron tank she made, and then add saltpeter to the big tank, and then leave the rest to time.

Because there is a lot of water this time, the freezing effect is not as intuitive as using a bowl in the previous experiment, but the formation of ice can still be seen.

When the first piece of ice came out, Mother Gou didn't even believe that it was ice.

This is the first piece, and it is natural to continue to do others.

This matter was naturally handed over to Gou Kang'an, who had been carrying water every day for the past few days, but after his hard work, the cellar was finally filled with ice according to Gou Qi's request.
