3-330 Saltpeter Ice Making (B)

"Miracles? What miracle? Wang Qi looked at the basin, the water, and the saltpeter that had melted in the water curiously, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see any miracles happening, and couldn't help asking, "Ye Ming, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Ye Ming smiled: "Don't worry, read slowly, you will know what the hell I am doing in a while." ”

Looking at Ye Ming's mysterious appearance, Wang Qi frowned, looked down again, and within half a minute of watching, her face changed.

Similarly, Wang Qi's face also changed.

They saw a thin layer of transparent sheet solid appear on the surface of the water inside the small porcelain basin, and this solid was exactly the same as the ice they had seen on the river in winter!!

Moreover, this thin layer of ice is still slowly getting bigger and thicker at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye!

Now, the sisters finally understood what the miracle was that Miu had told you was.

"Oh my God! This water.. The water is frozen! It's summer! How can water freeze in summer???!!! Wang Qi exclaimed immediately.

Wang Qi also looked at the ice in surprise, then looked up at Ye Ming, and asked softly, "Xianggong, what's going on?" ”

"Before I explain, let me ask you, do you know when water freezes?"

"Don't you need to ask, of course it's winter!" Wang Qi said first.

"So the question of heat is, why does it freeze in winter and not in summer?"

"Because it's cold in winter!"

"Why does cold water freeze?" Ye Ming said with a smile: "Then it shouldn't be cold now, right?" But why is the water still frozen? ”

"Because...."Wang Qi opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Yes, it's not cold, it's hot, so why is the water freezing?

"Xianggong, don't tease her, hurry up and talk to us." Wang Qi said softly.

"Since the lady has spoken, then I'll talk about it." Ye Ming explained: "Actually, Wang Qi, you are right, water must be at a low temperature to freeze, although it is summer, but this low temperature, we can use a certain method to make it!" ”

"For example, you all know that hot water will cool after a while, and in the end, the temperature will be the same as the temperature outside, and if the outside temperature is cold, like winter, then the cold water is likely to turn into ice. The essence of this is that the water constantly releases its own heat, and when the heat is completely emptied, it becomes ice. ”

"In the same way, why does ice melt in the summer? Because the temperature in summer is much higher than the temperature of the ice itself, a lot of heat is absorbed by the ice, so the ice melts quickly. That's why the rich people use ice cubes to cool off, because the ice absorbs the heat around them, causing the temperature to drop, so they feel cool. ”

"Huh?" Wang Qi nodded as if he didn't understand: "I seem to understand a little." ”

"If you understand the principle, you can make artificial ice according to this principle," Ye Ming pointed to the saltpeter in the water and said: "Saltpeter has a characteristic, it can quickly absorb the heat in the water, when the heat in the water is absorbed, the temperature of the water is very low, so it will form ice, the more saltpeter is put, the faster the speed of freezing, and the larger the ice cubes will be obtained." “

Ye Ming continued: "But saltpeter is not food after all, and it will produce toxic substances when placed in water, although the ice cubes produced in this way can be placed in the house to cool off, but they cannot be eaten directly, so I put a small porcelain basin in the large porcelain basin, the water in the small porcelain basin is clean, and the ice obtained is naturally clean, and it can be eaten directly, so..."

Ye Ming looked at the Wang Qi sisters with a smile and said, "So you said that you will take this ice cube to the county town and sell it, have you bought it?" Or won't make money? ”

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Wang Qi gasped.

She knew what ice meant to summer, and if she took it out and sold it, it would definitely be snatched up by the rich!

Wang Qi's eyes suddenly flashed with countless pictures of silver ingots, and she slapped her hands and said, "Oh my God, sister, let's... We're going to get rich! We finally don't have to worry about going hungry anymore! ’

Wang Qi smiled and nodded, a different color flashed in his eyes when he looked at Ye Ming, and said, "Xianggong, thank you." ”

"Thank you," Ye Ming waved his hand: "Since you call me Xianggong, I will naturally be responsible for you, although I can't make you rich for the time being, but at the very least, I can't make you hungry." Okay, I'll go out for convenience, and you can discuss how to do business, these saltpeters can at least make hundreds of catties of ice. ”

Ye Ming went out, Wang Qi slapped his face and laughed: "Sister, it seems that I am so wise to snatch Ye Ming back!" ”

"What's wise," Wang Qi shook his head: "No matter what you say about this, it's our fault, if Xianggong wants to leave in the future, I won't stop it, and you can't stop it." ”

"Why? Sister, did you marry him, and still wronged him? ”

Wang Qi shook his head and didn't speak, but there was a trace of hope in his heart that Ye Ming could stay forever. After all, she and Ye Ming are just a nominal husband and wife, or a fake couple, both parties don't know each other, Ye Ming doesn't know her past and family, she doesn't know Ye Ming's past and family, and it is not a gentleman's act to take the liberty of leaving each other behind.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this," Wang Qi squatted down excitedly, looking at the ice in the small porcelain basin that had completely turned into ice, and a series of silver ingots flashed in his eyes: "Get rich, sister, let's take advantage of the heat to make more ice cubes and make a fortune, so that we don't have to go hungry in the future!" ’

"If you sell, you will definitely sell, but you can't go there to sell, how to sell, how much the price is, these still need to be discussed after the minister returns." Wang Qi said.

"How else can you sell it, this is a rare commodity, only those big families have the money to buy it, let's just go directly to the county seat and shout at the door of the county government, the county order must be rich, do you still need to discuss?"

"Go to the county government to shout? If you really shout, you won't get a penny, at least I promise they'll confiscate the ice, or at worst, they'll be arrested by those officials and interrogated about the origin of the ice! Ye Ming strode in and said.

"Huh?" Wang Qi was stunned: "Why?" ”

"Those who have ice cubes in the summer are big families, they don't have enough for themselves, and they are not short of money, they will definitely not send people out to sell ice, and your actions are likely to remind them of which big family you stole the ice from, and they will definitely take care of the theft."

"Huh?" Wang Qi was anxious when he heard this: "That... So what to do? ’

"Easy to do!" The corners of Ye Ming's mouth rose: "As long as we don't let them know that we are not selling ice cubes!" ”
