Chapter 61: Of course...... Too easy.
"This is saltpeter?" saltpeter had been in Li Shangshu's place, she naturally recognized what it was, and couldn't help but say to herself: "Saltpeter is really related to ice-making, but this thing, how to make ice?"
Li Shangshu was puzzled, she had also roughly studied saltpeter in the past few days, but wasn't this thing just white powder or small crystals? What does it have to do with ice making?
In confusion, Li Shangshu and hundreds of civil and military officials, including the empress, Tsing Yi Ziyi and others, all widened their eyes and looked at Lin Zifan.
Lin Zifan smiled indifferently and poured all the saltpeter in the cloth bag into the big basin......
This time, to show the ice-making in front of the empress and civil and military officials, the faster the better, so it is more appropriate to add saltpeter to a large basin to let the ice in the small basin quickly condense.
In fact, it only takes one basin to freeze, but with saltpeter ice, the devil knows what will happen if they eat it, so they must be shown clean and edible ice!
When saltpeter enters the water, the water in the large basin quickly cools down, and in just a few moments, the surface of the water is covered with ice ballast, and it is rapidly condensing into ice cubes!
The water in the small basin is also cooling, and although it freezes at a slower rate, it is only slower!
And not only that, several ministers who were closer to Lin Zifan felt a chill coming, dispelling the summer heat, and making their hearts burn when they looked at Lin Zifan......
Because Lin Zifanjia has a relatively large amount of saltpeter, the freezing speed is very fast, just a minute or two ago, two basins of water of all sizes turned into ice cubes in front of everyone's eyes, making everyone stunned!
"This ...... How is this possible?" The Great Deacon's face was full of disbelief, but her strength was also very strong, if there was an ice attribute powerhouse secretly making a move, she would not be able to detect it!
In other words, there is no ice attribute powerhouse to make a move, this ice ...... It can only be related to the white powder! But what is the white powder? Why have I never heard of it for so many years?
"Did you really make ice?" Li Shangshu jumped out, extremely surprised, and stretched out his fingers to rub lightly in the large basin.
Click!
The ice cubes shattered, so everyone could see that the whole basin of water had completely turned into ice! As for why it shattered when touched, it was not because these ice cubes were 'not of good quality', but because Li Shangshu's strength was too strong.
If this finger goes down, even iron can poke a hole, let alone ice?
"Your Majesty, it's really ice!" The national teacher looked relieved after experiencing the initial stunned.
"Can you really make ice, and it looks so simple?" General Huo reacted, his eyebrows fluttered, and General Huo, who looked like Lori, looked even more unreliable at the moment.
She jumped out, picked up a piece of broken ice and rubbed it carefully, feeling the coldness, she couldn't help cheering, and then excitedly said: "If this method can be extended to the whole army, it will definitely make Chen Guo and Wu Guo go around without eating!"
Call......
The red shadow flashed, and the empress disappeared from the dragon chair, and when she returned to the dragon chair, she was already holding the small basin of ice cubes in her hand, feeling the refreshing coolness of her body.
Click......
Subsequently, the empress took a bite without a trace, but found that this pot of ice was light and tasteless, not delicious at all, far worse than shaved ice. couldn't help but gaze slightly, looking directly at Lin Zifan.
Seeing this, Ziyi covered her mouth and snickered.
And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are already in chaos at this moment!
The empress has taken action, how can the ministers 'sit idly by' again?
Everyone was already so hot that they were upset, and they were 'show' by the empress eating shaved ice again, and now when they see that big pot of ice, how can they be indifferent?
Therefore, hundreds of civil and military officials took action one after another and began to snatch the ice......
Li Shangshu was the closest, and he was originally holding the largest piece to enjoy the coldness, but when he didn't pay attention, he was attacked by Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and kicked on his buttocks.
Li Shangshu didn't notice it for a while, and couldn't help but exclaim, and the ice cube also came out of his hand, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, who had been prepared for a long time, took it away......
"It's ice, it's really ice, it's so cool!"
"You come back with me!" "Hubu Li Shangshu glared, used his 'skill', and stepped forward to snatch it......
Not only the two of them, in fact, the entire court has turned on the big melee mode, and everyone is staring at a certain piece of ice and grabbing it frantically......
Fighting, pulling hair, picking clothes, and tickling everything made Lin Zifan stunned......
"Adult ......"
Zhou Xiaoyan was also taken aback, and couldn't help but just stick to Lin Zifan.
However, the next moment, Zhou Xiaoyan suddenly felt a chill coming from nowhere, which made her heart tense, and it was not until she was a little farther away from Lin Zifan that the chill disappeared......
"Enough!"
After a while, the empress scolded the civil and military officials: "You are all the pillars of my Tang Dynasty, and you are actually so chaotic for a piece of ice, do you want to demolish my court?"
Many ministers pursed their lips and returned to their positions, but secretly complained in their hearts, the biggest piece is in your hands...... A whole pot......
And Lin Zifan found out that many ministers had already played extremely 'beautifully'.
For example, Li Shangshu and Sister Li's buttocks have several more footprints...... The national teacher and General Huo Da also had a fight, General Huo Da's hair was messy, his clothes were torn, his shoulders were half exposed, and several red marks appeared on the national teacher's even more beautiful face, which looked like he was scratched by General Huo......
The other ministers, some with blue noses and swollen faces, some were disheveled...... But even so, they didn't throw away the ice in their hands.
Prime Minister Cao Cheng was the most 'injured', and his eyes directly became panda eyes, but even so, he still held a piece of ice in his hand, smiling and stroking......
And after the fight, the ministers acted as if they were nothing, as if they were not the ones who fought just now, which opened Lin Zifan's eyes again......
"Logistics officer, your ice-making method may be extended to the whole army?"
The empress saw that the civil and military officials were quiet, so she asked.
The method of making ice is extremely important to Datang, but the premise is that this method can be popularized by the whole army! Otherwise, it will not be of much use.
Although Lin Zifan seems to be making ice as simple as he can, everyone doesn't think that the truth is as easy as it seems.
For example, the white powder, it is likely that some special material has been added, right? Or, what is the treatment of the water? Or else, there is something special about the basin?
Lin Zifan blinked: "Your Majesty, why can't it be extended to the whole army?"
"What do you mean......" General Huo's breathing gradually became shorter: "All the soldiers of my Datang can use ice cubes to cool off in summer?"
"Could it be...... Your ice-making method is as simple as what we see, and there is no trick?"
"Of course......" Lin Zifan paused and showed a bright smile: "It's that simple!"
