Chapter 125 Ice Making
"Cousin, take a look at these. I just found them. You like these. If you like them, I'll give them to you and take them home to play with."

Mr. Mei Zhu gave Yuan Yuan all kinds of gossip locks, acting like a child sharing his beloved.

He took out eight styles of locks, from simple to complex, with more and more wooden blocks, all of which Yuan Yuan had never seen before.

Yuan Yuan only picked up the simplest one, one was fiddling with eight pieces of wood, she could only solve this one for the time being, the others were really complicated.

She plays these all rely on proficiency, really let her see through the mysteries inside now, that's impossible, she needs time.

"I'm not as smart as my cousin. Let me unlock these gossip locks. It may take me a month or two to untie them." Yuan Yuan's face collapsed.

Mr. Plum and Bamboo thinks it doesn't matter: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be disassembled, it doesn't matter how long, you can keep it and take it home."

He doesn't think one or two months is too long, on the contrary, he prefers the process of exploration.

Yuan Yuan is the only one who can communicate with him, so he loves Yuan Yuan, his little cousin, and he will try his best to meet Yuan Yuan's request.

After repeated refusals, Yuan Yuan had no choice but to accept the gossip lock, planning to go back and study it slowly.

Then she asked what she was eager to know, her eyes full of admiration: "Cousin, I heard that you can make ice, is this true?"

Ice making in summer is really amazing!
Mr. Mei Zhu was stunned for a while, recalling some not so good memories, and even his tone became sad, he was a little helpless: "This matter... is it my uncle who told you?"

"Yes, my little uncle said that he saw it with his own eyes." Seeing that his expression was abnormal, Yuan Yuan tentatively asked, "Does my cousin have any concerns?"

Mei Zhujun has a keen mind, and seeing Yuan Yuan's innocent eyes, he doesn't seem to know about it. Uncle Yuan didn't tell her, and Mei Zhujun chose to keep concealing it.

"It's okay, what do you want ice for?"

"Isn't it summer? I just wanted to make some iced drinks. It's comfortable to drink cold, but I don't have ice."

Yuan Yuan scratched her cheek with her fingers, if there was a refrigerator, then all her difficulties would be easily solved.

It's a pity that she never thought of buying a refrigerator for space before.

If she wants to store ice, she can wait until winter comes this year, dig out some for storage, and use it anytime she wants to use it in the coming year.

It's a pity that it's summer now, she can't dig ice, so she can only worry.

"Well... Actually, I don't necessarily need ice. If making ice is troublesome, then I don't need it. I'll look for it in winter." Seeing his cousin's rejection, Yuan Yuan felt that he came too abruptly.

It was because I was too surprised to hear that my cousin could make ice, so I ran over without thinking.

Perhaps she should carefully consider whether to come or not. It is not impossible without ice. She can use other methods to cool down.

Dig a deep well at home, and the cold air inside will naturally come out. Although the cooling effect is not as good as ice, cold drinks can also guarantee the taste. This year, you can use this method to make ends meet.

"What's the use of looking for ice in winter? You're not afraid of spoiling your stomach. I do know how to make ice, and it's not troublesome, but I can't make a lot at one time. If you don't need much, I can tell you how to do it." Mr. Mei Zhu let go.

Yuan Yuan looked happy: "Thank you, cousin!"

"It's easy to do." This is Yuan Yuan's request, and Mr. Mei Zhu thinks it is acceptable.

He rummaged in the kitchen for a while, and finally found a bag of things.

"Hey! What are you looking for? Why haven't you thrown this thing away yet?" Seeing him rummaging through things, Aunt Yuan followed behind him, and was surprised when she finally saw the hidden thing.

If Mr. Mei Zhu hadn't dug it out now, she wouldn't even know there was this thing in the kitchen.

This is saltpeter material, or the waste resold by others. It is much cheaper than coarse salt. The crystals on it can be used instead of coarse salt. The villagers could not afford salt before, so they all planned to eat this.

Mr. Meizhu always said that this food was extremely harmful to the body, so she stopped Aunt Yuan from eating it. Later, people in the village really ate it to death, and Aunt Yuan never touched this food again.

She thought she had been thrown away a long time ago, but she didn't expect Mr. Mei Zhu to find it again now.

"It's still useful, so I didn't throw it away." Mr. Mei Zhu went out with the saltpeter, turned around and explained: "Mother, don't worry, I didn't use it to eat."

Aunt Yuan felt relieved: "It's not just about eating."

Yuan Yuan is not very proficient in these things, when it comes to saltpeter, her first reaction is gunpowder.

Saltpeter can be used as gunpowder. I didn't expect that some people would eat the crystals from saltpeter. This would definitely cause great harm to the body. Those who dare to eat saltpeter would be very courageous.

"I used hot water to make ice before, but the requirements for the environment and water are too high, and my cousin may not be able to handle it. It is much easier to use this saltpeter." Mr. Mei Zhu also took out two basins, Put the big pot in the small pot.

Seeing that the right amount of water was added, Mr. Meizhu finally put the saltpeter in the big basin.

"Actually, the principle is very simple. Dissolving saltpeter in water will lower the temperature, and the water in the small basin will naturally lower the temperature and turn into ice. As long as there is saltpeter, pay attention to the ratio of water to saltpeter, and the water will not be difficult to turn into ice."

Yuan Yuan stared at the water in the small basin as it froze, and a trace of coldness leaked out of it.

Life used to be so convenient, and there was as much ice in the refrigerator as she wanted, she really never thought of such a simple method.

Seeing that the small basin inside had turned into ice, Yuan Yuan was so excited that he reached out to take it out to have a look, but Mr. Mei Zhu held her down with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Cousin, why don't you just grab it with your hands? The temperature is too low, so you don't have to worry about frostbiting your hands." His tone was a little anxious, but fortunately his hand quickly stopped Yuan Yuan, otherwise it would be ridiculous to say that he would frostbite his hands in this summer.

"I forgot about this... Thank you cousin for reminding me." Yuan Yuan shrank her hands in embarrassment. Now that she is awake, her fingers can already feel the cold air in the basin. She is really dizzy with excitement, a little silly .

Mr. Meizhu found a wooden clip to clamp out the small basin. The ice cubes inside had already formed, and when placed aside for a while, the ice cubes also showed some signs of melting.

It wasn't until the small basin became less cold that Mr. Mei Zhu agreed to let Yuan Yuan touch it.

After poking the ice cube, the icy and cool feeling penetrated her heart. With the ice cube, it seemed that summer would not be difficult, she smiled happily.

"Since my cousin knows this method, why don't you go out to sell ice in the summer?" The condition of the aunt's house is not very good. If there is an ice-making business, it can be used for a lifetime, relying on this technology to earn a lot of money Full is not a problem.

Of course, this is just Yuan Yuan's idea, Mr. Mei Zhu is not keen on making money, he looks like an ordinary farmer.

　This month is relatively busy, I will try my best to update steadily! ! (;`O) o
