I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 706 Suddenly remembered making ice

However, in such a hot weather, it would be much more convenient if there were ice cubes.

Baiyunxi rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing slightly. Ice cubes are the best cooling helper during this period, but most people can't afford it. It's too expensive.

 But for her, rapid ice formation is just a simple physical change, and the cost is lower than eating pastries.

 Isn’t it just making ice? She had studied it in the textbook.

With this idea popping up in his mind, Bai Yunxi walked to the corridor waving the cattail leaf fan, looked at the still scorching sun, squinted his eyes and laughed.

 In this period, saltpeter was a medicinal material that was only available from medical doctors.

There is a lot of saltpeter and the ice is made quickly. One person can make ice in an hour.

 “That’s right, this is an ice cube, isn’t it simple?”

Baiyunxi took the cattail leaf fan and asked Du to sort out a few basins and buckets and wash them clean for later use.

Xiaosi had eaten and drank enough, and brought a basin of ice with Shuren, and returned to the duck factory with satisfaction.

Waiting for Bai Anyan to come in with half a bag of saltpeter, "Mom, this is all Doctor Yang has left. I brought them all."

He asked his mother how she knew how to make ice.

 Since you know how to make it, why didn’t you make it before?

Who knows, my mother only gave him a faint look and said that she always knew how to do it, but she didn't think of it before, but now she suddenly remembered it.

Those wealthy families, officials and dignitaries all have their own icehouses to store snow and ice in winter and use them to cool down the next summer. But some people don't have such good conditions. If they want to cool down in summer, they can only buy ice cubes. The disadvantage is that the price is high.

  Ice cubes are not something everyone can afford in summer.

 Making ice requires saltpeter, which is quick and easy. You only need to buy it once and it can be used repeatedly.

"Hey~, I'll go right away." Bai Anyan had just taken a shower and her hair was still wet.

Wenyou leaned on the corridor pillar, looking from casual to surprised, and reached out to touch the crystals in the basin.

Until it got dark, Bai Anyan stood in the cellar, stacking the last piece of ice on top, feeling very calm.

His mother, she really thinks about things all the time. I really don’t know why she has so many novel things in her head.

“My mother, it’s really ice. It’s such a hot day, why did it turn into ice?” Li held her belly with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, her eyes widening all the time.

But when she saw her today, she was a little surprised. Aunt Bai could make ice cubes so easily. The profits of those ice-making workshops can be imagined.

 “That’s pretty much it.”

Bai Yunxi stretched out his hand and pinched her chubby cheeks. He chuckled and asked his second son to move the ice basin out and put a few more basins into the bathtub.

Although everyone was curious, they held back and did whatever they were told.

Half an hour later, several pairs of eyes were wide open. If there were no eye sockets to block them, they would probably fall out of the window.

 While waiting for dinner, Xiaosi came back and felt the slightest bit of coolness in the room. After being surprised, he jumped up with a cry.

 “What changed? Everyone did it together.”

 Three seasons of rest a year, one season of income, and one year of food. This business is a good deal.

Looking at Xiaosi's resentful eyes, Bai Yunxi glared at him, "I just made it today. I'm preparing it for you to take away after dinner. How can I forget you?"

 Fortunately, the bathtub is big enough to hold three basins at a time.

Although she is not involved in general affairs, she has heard a lot that the price of ice cubes is ridiculously high in summer.

“Okay, let’s clear out another cellar and lay it with thick straw.” Fortunately, when she was storing sweet potatoes and vegetables, she was worried that one cellar would not be enough, so she dug an extra cellar.

 One hundred and eighty. One hundred and eighty. One hundred and seventy-four. One seven

Bai Anyan rubbed his eyes, and before he could speak, he let out a cry and turned to look at Mr. Li.

 “This is an ice cube.”

 The others had not recovered from the shock. Wenyou touched it, looked at the white crystal, and nodded.

“If I hadn’t seen the whole process, I wouldn’t have believed it was so simple.”

I knew that I had turned the town when I came back from Wangzhuang.

“Okay, take the saltpeter to the corridor, prepare a large bathtub, put some saltpeter in the bag and melt it, then prepare a few small basins, fill them with water, and put them in the bathtub..."

 What can he do?

Bai Yunxi sat on the Arhat bed, leaning on the soft cushions, and there was an ice basin in the room. It was really comfortable.

He is still a strange soul after all. Take action when it is time to do it, otherwise you will have read more than ten years of books in vain.

Baiyunxi directly asked Wenyou to help with the ice that was made later, and sent it to the cellar with Lao Er for storage.

Thinking of the elderly Third Auntie, Bai Yunxi called the second one again, "Bring two pieces of ice, one for your Third Grandma, and one for your Aunt Song, so that they can have a good sleep at night. Don't forget to tell your uncle." Mom, put the ice cubes farther away."

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi called the second son over directly, "Go to Dr. Yang's place and see if there is any saltpeter for sale. If there is any, buy some back. Mom can use it."

"Mom, you are so awesome. You can actually turn ice cubes into ice on a hot day. If you put this in the house, it will definitely be very cool."

Summy weather is not very friendly to the elderly. Whenever possible, you must buy some ice cubes to help the elderly survive the heat safely.

They are all ready-made things, and they will be ready in no time.

 “Why are you pinching me?”

Li Shi chuckled, walked up to Bai Yunxi, and circled her arm.

Baiyunxi looked at the saltpeter in the bag. It was gray-white in color. Although it was not pure, it was enough to make ice.

"What are you doing? Take the basin out, change a few basins, and put a basin of freshly made ice into the house. It can cool down and relieve the heat, and have a good sleep at night." Baiyunxi curled his lips He raised his hand and waved his hand to bring a few people back to their senses.

A few people didn't know what Bai Yunxi was doing, and they were very curious. Especially Li, who held her waist and asked several times, but Bai Yunxi smiled and asked her to wait.

 The weather has been hot for more than a day or two. Today, I suddenly came up with the idea of ​​making ice, and in the blink of an eye I built a cellar.

ice is a cold thing after all, so the young man is fine, but San Auntie is not in good health, so she won't inhale the cold air.

 “Hehe...it hurts. It’s really not a dream.”

"Mom, you are partial. Why don't you think about your son when you have such a good thing? I get up and take a shower twice every night when it's hot. If I hadn't come back for dinner today, I wouldn't have known you were so moisturized."

“Well, take out the saltpeter from the bathtub and you can continue to use it in the future.”

When Wenyou came in, she saw such a lazy little old lady, and the corner of her mouth trembled.

“Aunt Bai, all the ice cubes have been stored in the cellar.”

“By the way, let me tell them that we can’t tell others about the ice in our house, otherwise, everyone will come to ask for it and they will be exhausted and unable to pay.”

 Except for the third uncle and the Song Wang family who had protected her at the beginning, she was not prepared to get involved with the rest of the people.
