Su Ning'an stood up and chased after Xiao Lingyu: "Second brother, I have to go to the kitchen to help mother cook. After dinner, I have to watch mother make ice. I am very busy. We can talk to you in the evening."
"Mother, wait for your eldest son."
"And your second son."
Before Xiao Lingyu entered the kitchen, he looked thoughtfully at Su Xingyi, who was sitting quietly in the yard with his eyes closed.
She doesn't have to like him just because he is good-looking.
Being a husband and wife requires affection.
She was betrothed to him as his wife by the government, and the imperial edict did not say that divorce was not allowed.
Before we can regulate his body and cure his eyes, we need to make three rules with him.
After making up his mind, Xiao Lingyu followed the eldest and second oldest brothers into the kitchen.
Xiao Lingyu picked up a piece of wild boar meat that had been soaked in salt water, washed it with clean water, and sniffed it carefully. Fortunately, it was not bad.
After dinner, in the kitchen.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the siblings Su Ningxi and Su Ningwen, who were standing high on the bench. "Be careful, don't fall down."
Little Xier said in a baby voice: "Mom, we won't fall. We want to see how water turns into ice."
"Okay, now mother will show you how to make ice."
Then, Su Ningan brought a full bucket of water as Xiao Lingyu instructed and put it into the large wooden barrel that was one-third full of water.
Su Ning'an opened the bag of saltpeter, filled a large scoop of saltpeter and handed it to Xiao Lingyu.
"Children, the next step is to keep adding saltpeter into the big wooden barrel. Once the saltpeter is completely dissolved in the water, the water in the small barrel will freeze."
After Xiao Lingyu finished speaking, he poured a large ladle of saltpeter into the large wooden barrel, stirred it thoroughly, and continued to pour saltpeter into it.
Su Ningan took the water scoop from Xiao Lingyu's hand and said, "Mother, let me do it."
Su Ningjie stood close to the wooden barrel and said, "Mom, this barrel seems to be getting cold."
Xiao Lingyu, "When saltpeter dissolves in water, it takes away a lot of heat, so the area around the barrel will be cooler."
"Why does saltpeter dissolve in water and take away a lot of heat?"
Xiao Lingyu frowned. The second brother had so many questions.
Xiao Lingyu said, "This is all from books, so Mother lets you read and learn to read so that you can broaden your horizons."
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyes and glanced at Su Ningjie after he finished speaking. "When the weather gets hottest, the ice can be made into drinks and used to exchange for money."
As expected, Xiao Lingyu saw his eyes light up instantly after he finished speaking.
"Mother, is this also mentioned in the book?"
"right."
A quarter of an hour later, Suningan poured half a bag of saltpeter into the big bucket and reached out to touch the water in the small bucket.
"Mom, it's so hard and cold, is it made into ice?"
Xiao Lingyu checked the small bucket and said, "Yes, the ice is done."
"Big brother, I want to touch it."
Su Ning'an then took out a bucket of ice from the big wooden barrel and let the three brothers and sisters satisfy their curiosity.
After a moment of surprise, Xiao Lingyu arranged for the powerful contestant Su Lao Da to pour the saltpeter water in the large wooden barrel into another large channel.
He chiseled out a bucket of ice and poured it into a large wooden barrel, then placed about 100 pounds of wild boar meat in it, covered it with a wooden lid, and stored it in a cool place in the kitchen.
Then he arranged for Suningan to use the remaining half bag of saltpeter to make a bucket of ice, which he chiseled out and poured on the wild boar meat.
Xiao Lingyu poured saltpeter water into a large pot and began to boil it.
"Mother, what are you doing?
"Boss, saltpeter dissolves in water. Boil away the water and the saltpeter can be reused to make ice many times."
After about twenty minutes of cooking, the saltpeter is cooked out.
Xiao Lingyu continued to stir-fry until there was no trace of moisture left.
Su Ning'an said, "Mother, I will steam the remaining half bucket, and your eldest son will be responsible for making ice from now on."
Xiao Lingyu pinched Su Ning'an's chubby face and said, "Okay, mother will go make clothes for you."
Xiao Lingyu went to the backyard before returning to the house. After feeding the female goat, wild rabbit and pheasant, he saw that the children were not there. He directly drew spiritual spring water from the space to fill the small water tank in front of the toilet, and then watered the vegetable garden with the spiritual spring water.
At this time, Xiao Xier came to the backyard with alfalfa, "Mom, does Da Hui want some water?"
"who?"
"Big Gray is Big Horse."
The child's name was indeed arbitrary, for it was a large red and brown horse.
Xiao Lingyu scooped a ladle of spiritual spring water from the small water tank and went to the front yard, where he saw Dahui eating alfalfa with his head down.
Xiao Lingyu took out Dahui's special drinking basin from the carriage, poured spiritual spring water into it, and placed it in front of Dahui.
I saw Big Gray sniff the water in the basin and then drink it happily.
"Mother, Da Hui likes to drink water just like the female goat."
Xiao Lingyu curled his lips slightly. Dahui could drink spiritual spring water every day to ensure that it would not get sick. It contained not only spiritual elements, but also a variety of minerals. It wouldn't be long before Dahui's fur would be shiny and greasy.
If we return Dahui to Lord Miao in the future, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to the local climate.
"Xiao Xi'er, let's go back to the room with mother."
In the kitchen.
After Suning'an collected the steamed saltpeter, he began to boil hot water for everyone to take a bath.
After the water was boiled, Su Ning'an helped Su Xingyi take a bath and put him to bed before returning to the east room where the three brothers lived.
Su Ning'an occupied one room, while Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen lived in another.
When Su Xingyi built his house, he made a bamboo screen in the main room, and placed a small bathtub inside.
The three brothers were not so particular and shared one bathtub. Of course, they would change the hot water after each person took a bath.
"Third brother, you wash first."
Su Ning'an saw that Su Ningwen was still sitting on his bed without moving.
"You want to be the last one to wash?"
Su Ningwen thought that his two brothers would lie down on their beds after washing, so they wouldn't see that his neck was scratched, and they wouldn't realize that he was sick and was going to die of illness.
Su Ningwen nodded slightly as usual.
"Let's go, second brother, come and take a shower with me."
Su Ning'an pulled Su Ningjie to the main room.
The two brothers stood naked in the bathtub, rubbing each other's skin.
"Come, second brother, let me rub your back."
"Brother, please be gentle."
If Su Ningjie didn't want to find out about the county town, he wouldn't want to take a shower with him.
Su Ning'an held the coarse gauze cloth and looked at Su Ningjie's thin back, feeling a little distressed.
He touched his back with his backhand, feeling the firm flesh, "Second brother, do you still have diarrhea after drinking hot water these past two days?"
After Su Ning'an said this, Su Ningjie found that not only did he not have diarrhea in the past two days, but his breathing seemed to be smoother as well.
"Mother is right, drinking hot water won't cause diarrhea. By the way, big brother, have you noticed that the water we drink every day seems to be very sweet, and the vegetables have grown overnight? This is because mother came."
Su Ning'an gently rubbed Su Ningjie's back. "Mom said that God was blessing us and cast a spell on our vegetable garden. Such a magical thing cannot be known to outsiders."
Su Ningjie continued, "Brother, why didn't God bless us before Mother came, but only bless us after Mother came?"
