Chapter 234: Saltpeter Ice Making
Looking at the white eyes of his eldest son, Old Man Xu waved his hand in disgust and said, "Get out, get out, get out, don't bother me if it's okay!" ”
“……”
Boss Xu was speechless, and felt that his father was too difficult to serve.
Coming out of the hall and going back to his own room, Boss Xu saw the small basket of lychees on the table.
"Daughter-in-law, what is this?"
"Huh? Why is it still ice? ”
Boss Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed a lychee and came out, with a curious look on his face.
Zhou smiled and said, "The mother sent it, saying that it was a gift from King Yan, called lychee." Peel the skin and eat the flesh inside, and spit out the kernel. ”
"Is that so?"
Boss Xu quickly peeled a lychee and handed it directly to Zhou's mouth, "Daughter-in-law, you have one first!" ”
"You eat first!"
Zhou shook his head, "You are in charge, you must eat first!" ”
"We don't talk about this!"
Boss Xu laughed, shook his hand, and motioned for Zhou to open his mouth.
Only then did Zhou open his mouth and call out the lychee that Boss Xu brought to his mouth.
The icy cold lychee, the sweet and sour taste, Zhou's expression instantly showed an intoxicated expression.
"Good times!"
Zhou had lychees in his mouth and spoke a little slurred.
Boss Xu peeled another one and said, "I'll taste it." ”
"Well, it's really good!"
However, although the lychee tasted good, Boss Xu was obviously not very interested.
He looked at the small pieces of crushed ice mixed with the lychees, and he was more concerned about them. The lychee must have been delivered from the south by a fast horse, and even if the basket had been filled with ice cubes at that time, it would not have been possible for this ice cube to remain until now. In other words, King Yan has the method of making ice in his hands.
Boss Xu sighed, if he can get this ice-making method, he can make money selling ice in the summer.
Unfortunately, this idea is not destined to be realistic.
In the evening, Xu Laosan came back riding his pseudo-Zhaoyu Night Lion.
The lychee that Mrs. Xu sent to his house was also untouched, and although Wang was greedy, he still held back.
Today's Wang family, since having that pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, has really matured a lot. is also slowly learning from Mrs. Xu and her two sisters-in-law.
This person is smart and really wants to learn, so he will naturally make great progress.
The family had dinner and was in the courtyard to cool off, and Boss Xu talked to Xu Laosan about the ice cubes.
As a result, after listening to his eldest brother's words, Xu Laosan was happy at that time.
"Big brother, what's so hard about this? Wait for me! ”
Xu Laosan got up quickly, and quickly went to the kitchen to find a small wooden basin and a porcelain bowl.
The small wooden basin was filled with water, and the porcelain bowl was filled with water, and the porcelain bowl was placed in a small wooden dish filled with water.
Then he went out and went around, got a pile of white things, and poured them into the water of the little wooden basin.
"Third child, is this frost?"
Boss Xu stared at Xu Laosan, there were a lot of white things under the walls of the old houses in the village.
"That's right!"
Xu Laosan smiled proudly, "This is called saltpeter ice making method, which has long been recorded in the book." ”
"I, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, started with this method. Big brother, let me tell you, this method ......"
Boss Xu wasn't interested in listening to Xu Laosan's teasing, so he waved his hand directly, "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, how long it will take for this thing to freeze!" ”
"Uh, I, I don't know!"
Xu Laosan was blind in an instant.
He knew how saltpeter made ice, but he had never operated it.
