Chapter 537: Making Ice



"Chief, Ling'er has made some heat-relief potions for everyone. Let's drink the potions before we go back."

Seeing that the beastmen were about to leave, Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward and took out the Huoxiang Zhengqi water that she had taken out from the space in advance.

This stuff is a must-have in the hot summer.

Even if the males are strong, they can't stand running around in this hot weather for two months.

She saw that many males' faces were already pale, as if they were about to have heatstroke, and she was glad that she had made preparations in advance.

"Thank you, Hu Jiaojiao, thank you witch doctor!"

When the beastmen heard that Hu Jiaojiao had specially brought the witch doctor's potion, they bowed to her excitedly to thank her.

In the eyes of the beastmen, working for the tribe is a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, when they went out to get a salt flower, the witch doctor actually gave them a potion.

They immediately admired Hu Jiaojiao and Long Ling'er even more.

Each beastman took a cup of Huoxiang Zhengqi water with a small stone cup.

After drinking it, they immediately felt refreshed.

"This potion is amazing, I don't feel dizzy anymore!"

"Me too, the sun made me dizzy..."

The beasts were shocked, and after realizing the miraculous effect of the potion, they tilted their heads back and poured the remaining liquid in the stone cup into their mouths, not wasting a drop.

Hu Jiaojiao also poured a cup for the tribe leader.

"Jiaojiao, this potion is really magical. Do you have any more?" After drinking it, the chief had the same reaction as the beasts.

He couldn't help but ask Hu Jiaojiao.

"Yes, Ling'er and the veterinarian have planted a lot of herbs, and can make a lot of such potions. If there are beastmen in the tribe who are dizzy from the heat in the future, they can go and get this potion to drink." Hu Jiaojiao explained with a gentle smile.

Although the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water she brought today was taken out of the space, Long Ling'er and the others did develop the potion.

After learning to read, Hu Jiaojiao took out a lot of books from the space for the cubs to read.

Among them, she also gave Ling'er a lot of medical books.

Ling'er is smart. She found the recipe for Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and found herbs to make it. Unexpectedly, she really made it.

From then on, she had another shield.

The chief and the beasts naturally didn't understand the twists and turns. When they heard this, they just thought that Long Ling'er was a blessing to the tribe and were ecstatic.

More than half a month passed.

The remaining thirty beasts finally came back.

After getting the saltpeter, the chief immediately sent it to Hu Jiaojiao's house.

"Jiaojiao, take a look. Is this the saltpeter you want?"

Hu Jiaojiao came forward. The saltpeter was piled outside the yard. The chief came in a hurry and only brought a part of it, but it also filled the open space outside the yard.

The saltpeter sent was small pieces, packed in animal skin bags.

Fox Jiaojiao opened it and took a look. It looked the same as the saltpeter in her memory. It seemed that the saltpeter in the beast world was no different from the saltpeter she knew.

She looked at the tribe leader and nodded, "Yes, this is saltpeter."

The tribe leader's face was delighted, "Then is this saltpeter enough to make ice cubes?"

He was full of expectation, with a smile on his kind face, like a child looking forward to candy.

"Enough, of course it is enough."

Fox Jiaojiao replied with a smile, knowing that the tribe leader must be impatient.

"Tribe leader, you guys come in and sit for a while, I'll go get the tools and try to make ice cubes."

With that, Fox Jiaojiao invited the tribe leader into the yard.

The beastmen outside who were carrying saltpeter shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they just had to stand outside and watch.

They didn't dare to enter and leave Long Mo's yard at will.

Even with Hu Jiaojiao's permission, they dared not go in.

Who knows what the consequences would be if Long Mo found out.

Seeing their faces full of resistance, Hu Jiaojiao felt a little strange, but did not think much about it, and focused on making ice cubes.

There was a bamboo bed in the yard, and under the tree next to it was a large stone table, surrounded by a circle of eight stone benches. Their family basically ate in the yard in the summer evenings, which was very cool.

Hu Jiaojiao asked the tribe leader to sit on the stone bench, and she went into the house to get the tools.

Long Mo went out hunting today, and only Hu Jiaojiao and the cubs were at home, but the cubs were in the backyard.

"Mom, what do you want to get? We'll help you."

Seeing Hu Jiaojiao coming back to get something, they gathered around to help.

Knowing that Hu Jiaojiao was going to make ice cubes, the cubs were excited.

In the past, what they hated most in winter was ice, but now it's summer and there's no ice.

Seeing that the cubs were so energetic, Hu Jiaojiao did not refuse their kindness.

The tools for making ice cubes are very simple. Hu Jiaojiao took a large wooden basin and a small wooden basin, and carried two buckets of water. Several cubs worked together to get them to the front yard. Hu Jiaojiao

also brought a bowl of mung bean soup from the well to the clan leader.

"Grandpa clan leader." Seeing the clan leader, several cubs greeted him in unison.

"Hey, you guys are good." The chief took the mung bean soup and looked at the cute cubs, his eyes smiling until only a slit remained.

Although he didn't have any cubs, he now had the filial and sensible mung bean soup and several such sensible cubs in front of him. He was even happier than the beastmen in the tribe who were surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

There was a group of beastmen outside basking in the sun waiting for the results. The foxy beastman didn't delay and said to Long Yu while sorting out the tools:

"Yu'er, go and bring out the mung bean soup that mother just took out and share it with the uncles outside."

They had worked so hard to bring back the saltpeter and were waiting outside under the scorching sun, so it was right for them to have some mung bean soup.

Then he started to fiddle with the wooden basins, cleaned the two basins, put the small basin inside the big basin, and then poured clean water into both basins.

Several cubs heard this and helped to distribute green bean soup to the beastmen outside.

The beastmen were flattered, they didn't expect that they could eat the food made by Fox Jiaojiao just by waiting outside.

The mung bean soup was added with sugar made from beets, which was freshly taken from the well. It tasted sweet and cool, quenching thirst and cooling off the heat. After the beastmen ate it, they immediately felt that the heat in their bodies had subsided a lot.

After eating the mung bean soup, the beastmen looked at Fox Jiaojiao's actions.

Fox Jiaojiao had taken out a few pieces of saltpeter from the animal skin bag and put them into the water.

The saltpeter was put into a large basin. After meeting the water, the saltpeter would react quickly and begin to absorb heat.

However, the beastmen could not see anything. They stared at the saltpeter in the wooden basin with their eyes wide open.

The chieftain and several cubs were close by, staring at the water in the wooden basin like curious babies.

The chieftain even stood up from the stone bench and walked behind the squatting cubs, fearing that he would miss the changes in the wooden basin.

A few minutes later,

the water in the small basin gradually condensed, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and turned into ice cubes, emitting a burst of white cold air.

"Ice, ice... It's really ice cubes!" The beastman was dumbfounded and couldn't believe his eyes.
