Seeing that it was getting late, Hua Qingcheng piled the bulldozer and the excavated saltpeter into the open space in the space.
Looking at the woman who finally stopped and the saltpeter mine with a big gap removed, Mu Lige's mouth twitched slightly. He almost thought that his wife wanted to move the entire mine away.
Although his wife was quite powerful, Mu Lige, who was a martial arts expert, still concealed his aura and followed her until she safely descended the mountain. Then he hid his figure, took a detour from another place, and arrived at the Hua family's old house before her, and went straight back to the room in the backyard.
"Wife, you're back! Why did you bring back so many stones?"
After cooking, Yu Xiaotian, who was feeding the chickens and sheep in the front yard, saw Hua Qingcheng coming back with a basket of stones on her back, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Xiaotian, this is a good thing. You will know it soon."
After dinner, Hua Qingcheng went to the kitchen. She first took out most of the saltpeter blocks from the backpack, put them into a large bucket and soaked them in water. Then she used gauze to filter the dissolved saltpeter liquid, and then Hua Qingcheng boiled the filtrate.
"Li Ge, Er Lang, go get the bathtub."
Seeing that the husbands were all curiously watching, Hua Qingcheng ordered Mu Lige and Situ Ye to bring in a large bathtub. Hua Qingcheng first filled the bathtub with water to eighty percent, then filled a full bucket of water in the middle of the bathtub. The water that was originally eighty percent full was now ninety percent high.
"Wife, are you going to take a cold shower?"
Yu Xiaotian was very surprised.
Hua Qingcheng: ...
Can she take a bath in public?
Under the puzzled gazes of her husbands and Mulan Jin, Hua Qingcheng took the saltpeter crystals filtered out from the saltpeter liquid that had just been boiled, poured them all into the large bathtub, and then stirred them constantly with a wooden stick.
Then, as everyone watched in amazement, the water in the large bathtub gradually began to freeze into ice.
"Wife, what is this?"
Han Yichen was also surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that ice cubes could be made in this way.
Mu Lige, who had originally had some doubts about whether saltpeter could be used to make powerful and lethal weapons, saw that Hua Qingcheng actually used it to make ice cubes. He basically believed what she had said before, and thought that maybe saltpeter was really an extraordinary thing.
"Wife, can this ice be eaten directly?"
Situ Ye looked at the ice in the bathtub that was getting harder and harder, and couldn't help but think of the refreshing perilla drink, red fruit drink, iced cold yuanzi, snow-soaked bean water, snow-soaked plum wine, iced duck pears, etc. that he had eaten in the summer before, and suddenly he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
"No. But you can eat the ice in the bucket."
After the water in the large tub was completely frozen, the water in the small bucket also gradually froze until it was completely frozen.
Hua Qingcheng divided the ice in the large basin into six portions, put them into six wooden barrels, and sent one portion to each room in the house. In order to make ice, Hua Qingcheng went to Qianyi Carpenter's house in the evening and bought a lot of wooden barrels and basins. Now they all came in handy.
"You can also divide the ice in the bucket into several wooden basins later, so the room will become cool quickly. But after the ice melts, don't pour out the water in the basins. Keep it, I still need it."
Hua Qingcheng had given a special order to prevent the husbands and grandfather from pouring out the ice water containing saltpeter. After all, this stuff can be recycled, and pouring it out would be a waste.
There was already ice cubes to cool her down, so Hua Qingcheng took some ice cubes from a small bucket and put them in the wooden basin. Then she took out two large watermelons from the backpack (actually from the refrigerator in the villa kitchen) and placed them in the wooden basin with crushed ice to chill them.
At four quarters after the hour of Xu, Hua Qingcheng, her four husbands, and Mulan Jin sat under a big tree in the front yard, enjoying the cool breeze and eating chilled watermelons.
Finally, Situ Ye got to eat the iced fruit he hadn't eaten for a long time. He was beaming with joy. Mulan Jin, who loved watermelon, also ate it with great joy.
"If I could eat a big winter melon every day, I would be happy to be a member of the Hua family forever."
Seeing Mulan Jin lying in the rocking chair and leisurely eating watermelon, and his seemingly sincere yet somewhat playful teasing, Hua Qingcheng's mouth twitched slightly, you are not a member of the Hua family, right?
But thinking of Yu Xiaotian's clear and bright eyes, Hua Qingcheng couldn't bear to destroy the beauty in his heart and drive the old man away. Hua Qingcheng felt that if the old man really couldn't find his family and was homeless, it wouldn't be impossible for him to stay here for a long time.
"Grandpa, where are Huang Feifeng and his men?"
"Grandpa, I've already had them plow more than half of the land today. There are still more than 20 acres left to be completed in one more day tomorrow. I'll let them go back and rest first, and come back to work before noon tomorrow morning."
After hearing her granddaughter's words, Mulan Jin had to free her mouth from eating watermelon to answer her.
"Great! Really great! It turns out that age is always better!"
Hua Qingcheng smiled, raised her thumbs up, and gave the old man a thumbs up manually out of courtesy.
"That's right! Don't you see who I am, your grandfather? I am..."
Mulan Jin subconsciously touched his chin, but only felt a stubble. He then raised his eyebrows towards Hua Qingcheng with a smug look on his face. However, when he showed off who he was, he couldn't say "but" anymore.
"I'm your grandfather!"
In the end, Mulan Jin turned around and found her way back.
Yu Xiaotian felt a little uncomfortable watching Mulanjin's bewildered expression. It had been almost ten days since the old man came to his family, but his family still hadn't heard from him. Furthermore, the old man had fallen and had lost his memory, so his family must be very worried.
"Wife, there's still half a watermelon in the basin. I'm going to the village to give it to Mom and Dad."
