Chapter 538: The news that Long Mo brought back
A few cubs squatted in front of the wooden basin, the closest distance, the ice cubes formed, and the cool air also hit their faces, only to feel a burst of refreshment on their cheeks.
Looking at the water in the small basin, it has completely turned into ice cubes.
"Wow! There are really ice cubes, my mother is so amazing! Long Yao's ruby eyes kept flickering, shining like stars.
"Stones can actually make ice cubes......" Long Xiu looked surprised, and there was a trace of shock on his usually calm face.
This kind of thing really broke his cognition.
"It's not just an ordinary stone, it's saltpeter, and the special reaction formed by saltpeter when it meets water can make ice cubes, and not only that, saltpeter can also make explosives." The fox explained to Long Xiu gently.
Long Xiu was ignorant, and he only felt that there must be many things in this world that he didn't understand, so it was not strange at once.
"Mother, can you eat this ice cube?" Long Yao blinked and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
This is a question that Hu Jiaojiao has also thought about.
The ice cubes made of saltpeter in her memory were not directly edible.
"You can eat it." Fox Jiaojiao nodded, she had recently flipped through books about the beast world in the space, which recorded that the ice made of saltpeter here was edible, non-toxic and harmless.
"It's OK to eat!" Long Yao couldn't help but lick his lips, he had never eaten ice in the summer!
Looking at the greedy appearance of several cubs, Fox Jiaojiao smiled, "Wait a minute, patriarch, this ice cube will not melt soon, I'll go get something out." ”
The patriarch nodded again and again, he was already speechless with joy.
Fox Jiaojiao went to the kitchen and got the ice-breaking knife and the watermelon juice prepared in advance in the space, and the watermelon juice had a whole large bucket, and the ice cubes were broken and added together with the juice.
Chilled watermelon juice is ready.
She has space for ice cubes, and the ice cubes that can be made by her own hands can be the same as the ice cubes in the space.
This is the ice she made herself!
"Patriarch, you taste." Fox Jiaojiao first served a bowl to the patriarch.
The patriarch held the bowl in both hands, and the cold touch seemed to instantly make him return to winter.
He took a careful sip as if he had found a treasure.
The chilled watermelon juice was sweet and refreshing, and it was simply the best thing he had ever drunk in his life.
"Delicious! It's so nice to have ice cubes here, it's so delicious......"
The patriarch was full of praise.
Fox Jiaojiao has made people grow a lot of watermelons, and they have also eaten watermelons, but can this iced watermelon juice be compared to the hot watermelon?
No one can say no to a bowl of chilled watermelon juice during the summer months.
A few cubs swallowed uncontrollably.
From afar, they could smell the sweet smell of watermelon juice.
Long Yao couldn't help it, opened his mouth, and smacked the air, as if he was also drinking watermelon juice.
Fox Jiaojiao smiled and said, "If you want to drink, you can fight it yourself." ”
Several cubs suddenly looked happy, picked up the bowl and went to make watermelon juice.
They didn't fight or grab, they lined up, Long Yao hit the first bowl, drooling, but didn't drink it directly, but held the bowl and sent it to Fox Jiaojiao.
"Mother, you drink first, you have worked hard!"
The little meat hand carried a large bowl of watermelon juice and held it high.
Seeing the little guy's sensible and well-behaved appearance, the fox Jiaojiao's heart was about to melt, and he hurriedly reached out to take it.
"Yao'er is so good, thank you Yao'er."
She lowered her head and took a sip, sweeter than all the juices she had ever drunk before.
Seeing that the fox Jiaojiao had drunk, Long Yao went back and tasted watermelon juice with the cubs.
Naturally, there were no fewer orcs waiting outside the courtyard, and one of them also shared a bowl.
It's hot now, and although there is saltpeter, it doesn't take long for the ice to melt.
When the orcs finished drinking, the ice in the tub was used up, and nothing was wasted.
"Patriarch, this is the method and proportion of saltpeter ice, I have written it down."
Fox Jiaojiao took a piece of paper and handed it to the patriarch.
In order to exercise the orcs' literacy skills, she will try her best to write down what she can write, so that the orcs can recognize it themselves.
The patriarch took the paper and smiled.
"Jiaojiao, thanks to you, otherwise where would we be able to eat ice cubes in the summer, I thank you for all the orcs in the tribe."
As he spoke, he was about to bow to the fox.
Fox Jiaojiao hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile:
"Patriarch, I just happened to learn about this method, the saltpeter was found by everyone, and I didn't do anything."
She was telling the truth.
If she was alone, no matter how much knowledge she had, she wouldn't be able to find saltpeter so quickly, so that everyone could use saltpeter.
The orcs working together were far greater than she could alone.
Although the orcs brought back saltpeter this time, there are thousands of orcs in the tribe, and these saltpeter are not enough.
The road to get saltpeter is not too close, and it will take two months to go back and forth.
Even if they get saltpeter, the orcs don't dare to use it casually, they can save it, and only take it out to relieve the heat when the heat is unbearable.
Even so, the orcs were already very satisfied.
"Jiaojiao, I'll leave these saltpeters for you to use slowly, and I'll send them to you next time I get the saltpeter back."
The patriarch was very generous, and directly gave all the saltpeter outside the yard to Fox Jiaojiao.
In this regard, the orcs outside the courtyard did not have the slightest objection.
If it weren't for Fox Jiaojiao to teach them the method, this saltpeter would be an ordinary stone for them, and it would have no effect.
Even if you give all the saltpeter to Fox Jiaojiao, that's how it should be.
"Okay, then thank you Patriarch." Fox Jiaojiao was not pretentious, and nodded to accept.
Originally, she asked the patriarch to send someone to find it in order to get saltpeter and be able to use ice cubes openly.
After sending off the patriarch, Fox Jiaojiao was about to transport saltpeter into the warehouse with the cubs, and Long Mo returned.
Seeing that Fox Jiaojiao was moving things, Long Mo turned into a human form and immediately stepped forward to take the saltpeter in her hand.
"What is this?" He asked, confused.
"Saltpeter, the orcs looking for saltpeter are back today, sent by the patriarch, these are the saltpeters that the patriarch gave us." Fox Jiaojiao explained.
"Daddy, my mother is amazing, today I made ice cubes with saltpeter, we all tasted ice cubes, but the ice is ice!" Long Yao said excitedly.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Long Mo's eyes.
Even the cub said that, it must not be fake.
I didn't expect to be able to make ice cubes in the summer.
"The ice cubes I made today have melted, you can rest for a while, and I'll make you another one." Fox Jiaojiao knew that Long Mo was curious about how the ice cube was made, and was going to make it for him again.
Just to relieve him from the heat.
Long Mo held her hand and asked softly, "No, do you want to move these saltpeters into the warehouse?" ”
"Yes." Fox Jiaojiao nodded, and listened to Long Mo continue.
"I'll move the saltpeter in first, and I'll have something to tell you in a moment."
