Chapter 142: Can You Drink Snow Water?

"The barrels of the whole village are cracked?"

When Rizheng heard that the barrels in the village were cracked, he went door to door to ask questions.

Except for a few households where the buckets were placed in the house, almost all of the buckets were stretched out by the ice with a thin slit.

Seeing this, some people have already turned the ice out of the bucket, smashed it with a hammer, and thrown it into the cooking pot.

Looking at the cracked barrels, the faces of the people of Zhaojia Village were covered with a layer of sadness.

If you want to restore the cracks in the barrel, you have to boil glue from pigskin, patch them up little by little, and dry them for a few days.

What about the water these days?

While Li Zheng frowned, they all looked at the snow on the ground around them.

"In the past few days, everyone has replenished the barrels of each family. This snow water is enough to eat for the next two days. ”

"With snow water?"

Ye Sang looked at the snow and fell into deep thought.

Ancient poets would use snow water to make tea when they had nothing to do, in order to express elegance.

Ye Sang is a modern person, knowing that snow contains bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances.

In addition, there is a buried sinkhole near Zhoujia Village......

You can't drink this snow water directly!

"Uncle Lizheng, there are still seven or eight complete wooden barrels in the village, and everyone will use these barrels to get spring water in the next two days." Ye Sang suggested.

"Ye Sang, Uncle knows that you are kind. But there are too many people in our village, and the weather is too cold, so it is not convenient to go to the spring to get water. ”

Li Zheng looked at the snow outside that was almost up to people's knees, and rejected Ye Sang's kindness.

It's okay to drink some snow water, and you can't kill anyone.

"Uncle Lizheng, do you know why people get sick?"

Ye Sang saw that Li was not listening, and explained: "In addition to congenital deficiencies, most of people's diseases are due to eating three meals a day and drinking water. ”

Ye Sang said that he also took out the incident of the people in the village fighting insects some time ago and gave Li Zheng an example, as well as the large plague that Ye Sang encountered in modern times before, the origin of which was because of eating and drinking.

"Ye Sang, although I think you are right about many things, it's really okay to drink a little snow water."

After listening to so much, Li Zheng still chose to drink snow water.

Besides, the people in the village have thought of this for a long time, and some people have already boiled snow water to drink.

"Why is it yellow water?"

The man boiled the snow water, scooped it out, and stared at the water in his bowl without answering.

The snow is white, but how can the boiled water be yellow?

Murong Yanxi is the son of a noble family, and he used to boil snow water to make tea in winter, but he remembered that the snow water was clean.

Now seeing the color of this snow boiling, it is also weird.

"Miss Ye Sang is right, the water boiled from this snow can't be drunk."

Murong Yanxi sniffed it, and handed the boiled water to Ye Sang and Li Zheng.

"What's this color?"

Li Zheng was also stunned, he didn't expect the snow water to be this color.

"Can't drink it?"

The people in the village also surrounded them, and some people dipped their fingers in their mouths: "Why is it so bitter, it's still a little salty, and there are some things in it......"

"It's unpleasant!"

"Shall we go get water?"

Li Zheng also tasted it himself, and after tasting the smell of the water, he leaned against the pillar in the corner of the wall and fell into deep thought.

Snow water is not drinkable, but it takes three or four days for the bucket to be replenished at the earliest.

What did the people in the village drink in the past three or four days?

"The water from the spring is also frozen."

I don't know who shouted this, but Li Zheng's face was even more ugly.

Ye Sang's brows also frowned, and then said, "It's not like there is no other way to drink this snow water. ”

Ye Sang took clean gauze, large gravel, small gravel, as well as cotton and soft wood.

"Ye Sang, what is this for?"

The whole village saw Ye Sang facing the wooden barrel, first spread a layer of cloth, then added a layer of cotton, small gravel, soft wood, then a layer of gauze, then enlarged gravel, and then a layer of gauze.

"What the hell is this for?"

The people in the village surrounded Ye Sang in confusion and watched Ye Sang pour the dirty snow water into the wooden barrel.

Then, Ye Sang opened a blocked bamboo pole under the bucket, and the originally turbid water flowed out along the bamboo pole, and it actually became clear and transparent!

"What's going on?"

The people in Zhaojia Village were stunned.

Why did that dirty water suddenly turn into usable water?

"It's filtration, and by doing so, it filters out most of the dirt." Ye Sang said, and tasted the snow water himself, and the taste was already much better.

Murong Yanxi also hesitated a little when he saw this scene. Then he quickly took a bowl of water flowing from the bamboo pole and nodded his head after tasting it.

Then, a few people from the village tried it.

The water before and after filtering and comparing completely changes the taste.

Even the filtered water is cleaner than the mountain spring water that I drank on the road before.

"This way it is filtered and boiled, and it kills most of the bacteria."

After listening to Ye Sang, the surrounding villagers nodded their heads one by one.

Then, the people in the village went to find the materials, according to Ye Sang or trouble Ye Sang to help make the filtering things.

After solving the problem of drinking water, several more families got together to boil pork skin. It takes many hours for the pigskin to be boiled into glue, almost until midnight.

After the people of Zhaojia Village boiled the glue, they planned to repair the wooden barrels with pigskin glue the next morning, so they all put the unrepaired wooden barrels outside the door.

After Zhao Erye boiled the glue, he used two fingers to sip the glue and test the viscosity of the glue.

"Hey."

Second Master Zhao sighed.

Ye Sang hadn't slept yet, when he heard Second Master Zhao's sigh, he asked, "Father-in-law, is the viscosity of these glues not enough?" ”

"Come and see."

Second Master Zhao pointed to the cracked marks on the barrel and gave Ye Sang a closer look one by one.

It turned out that in addition to the large cracks, there were several small cracks on the barrel.

No matter how fine those tiny cracks are, a human hair can't wear through them.

But these cracks are also found in the inside of the barrel, which means that these cracks will seep water. In the future, the barrel may break down for other reasons.

"These cracks, pig glue can't penetrate in." Second Master Zhao sighed: "Not only our family, but also the whole village has wooden barrels. ”

Ye Sang's eyes narrowed, and he said comfortingly: "Dad, maybe you are thinking too much." These cracks may not seep water. ”

"That's all I can think about." Second Master Zhao sighed again and told Ye Sang to rest early.

Ye Sang didn't feel much sleep.

She took advantage of everyone's sleep and went to the place where the barrels were concentrated in Zhaojia Village. Sure enough, those wooden barrels, as Zhao Erye said, had a lot of small cracks.

It seems that the village has a draft, and the follow-up is still a problem.

Ye Sang squatted in place for a while before returning to the room.

Zhao Tiezhu was patrolling the village tonight and happened to see Ye Sang returning to the house.

"What did Ye Sang do to those barrels?"

Zhao Tiezhu said, walking towards the barrels step by step.
