Several children squatted in front of the wooden basin, the closest to it. As ice cubes formed, cool air also hit their faces, and they felt refreshed.

Looking at the water in the small basin, it had completely turned into ice cubes.

"Wow! Ice cubes really appeared, mother is so amazing!" Long Yao's ruby-like eyes kept flashing, as bright as stars.

"Stones can actually make ice cubes..." Long Xiu was surprised, and there was a trace of shock on his usually calm face.

This kind of thing really broke his cognition.

"This is not an ordinary stone, it is saltpeter. The special reaction formed by saltpeter in contact with water can make ice cubes. Not only that, saltpeter can also be used to make explosives." Hu Jiaojiao explained to Long Xiu tenderly.

Long Xiu was ignorant and felt that there must be many things in this world that he did not understand, so it was not surprising at once.

"Mother, can this ice cube be eaten?" Long Yao blinked and asked the question he wanted to ask most.

Hu Jiaojiao had also thought about this question.

In her memory, ice cubes made from saltpeter could not be eaten directly.

"You can eat it." Hu Jiaojiao nodded. She recently read a book about the beast world in the space, which recorded that the ice made from the saltpeter here can be eaten and is non-toxic and harmless.

"It's edible!" Long Yao couldn't help licking his lips. He had never eaten ice in summer before!

Looking at the greedy looks of the kids, Hu Jiaojiao smiled, "Wait a minute, Chief. The ice won't melt quickly. I'll go get something."

The chief nodded repeatedly. He was already too happy to speak.

Hu Jiaojiao went to the kitchen to get an icebreaker and watermelon juice that had been prepared in advance and placed in the space. There was a whole bucket of watermelon juice. She broke the ice and added it to the juice.

The iced watermelon juice was ready.

She had ice in her space, but how could the ice she made by hand be the same as the ice in the space.

This was ice she made by herself!

"Chief, try it." Hu Jiaojiao first served the chief a bowl.

The chief held the bowl in both hands, and the cool touch seemed to bring him back to winter in an instant.

He drank a sip carefully as if he had found a treasure.

The icy watermelon juice was sweet and refreshing, and it was simply the best thing he had ever drunk in his life.

"Delicious! It's great to have ice cubes here, so delicious..."

The chief praised it endlessly.

Fox Jiaojiao asked people to plant a lot of watermelons, and they also ate watermelons, but can this icy watermelon juice be compared with the hot watermelon?

No one can refuse a bowl of iced watermelon juice in summer.

Several cubs couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Even from a long distance, they could smell the sweet smell of watermelon juice.

Long Yao couldn't help it, he opened his mouth and smacked the air, as if he was drinking watermelon juice too.

Hu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "If you want to drink, just pour it yourself."

Several cubs were delighted and picked up bowls to get watermelon juice.

They did not fight or rush, but lined up. Long Yao poured the first bowl, drooling, but did not drink it directly, but held the bowl to Hu Jiaojiao.

"Mom, you drink first, you have worked hard!"

The little meaty hand held a large bowl of watermelon juice and raised it high.

Seeing the little boy's sensible and well-behaved appearance, Hu Jiaojiao's heart melted, and she quickly reached out to take it.

"Yao'er is so good, thank you Yao'er."

She lowered her head and took a sip, which was sweeter than all the juices she had drunk before.

Seeing Hu Jiaojiao drink it, Long Yao went back happily and tasted the watermelon juice with the cubs.

There were naturally quite a few beastmen waiting outside the yard, and each of them got a bowl.

The weather was hot now, and although there was saltpeter, the ice cubes melted soon.

When the beastmen finished drinking, the ice in the wooden basin was also used up, and nothing was wasted.

"Chief, this is the method and proportion of making ice with saltpeter, I wrote it down."

Fox Jiaojiao handed a piece of paper to the chief.

In order to train the beastmen's literacy, she would write down as much as possible so that the beastmen could read it themselves.

The chief took the paper and smiled.

"Jiaojiao, thanks to you, otherwise we would not be able to eat ice cubes in summer. I thank you on behalf of all the beastmen in the tribe."

As he said this, he was about to bow to Fox Jiaojiao.

Fox Jiaojiao quickly helped him up and said with a smile:

"Chief, I just happened to know this method. The saltpeter was found by everyone, and I didn't do anything."

She said it sincerely.

If she relied on herself alone, no matter how much knowledge she had, she would not be able to find saltpeter so quickly and let everyone have it.

The orcs worked together, and their strength was much greater than hers alone.

Although the orcs brought back saltpeter this time, there were thousands of orcs in the tribe, and this saltpeter was not enough.

The road to get saltpeter was not short, and it would take two months to go back and forth.

Even if they got the saltpeter, the orcs did not dare to use it carelessly. They would save it as much as possible and only take it out to cool down when the heat was unbearable.

Even so, the beastmen were already very satisfied.

"Jiaojiao, these saltpeters are for you to use slowly. I'll send them back to you next time I get saltpeter."

The chief was very generous and gave all the saltpeter outside the yard to Hu Jiaojiao.

The beastmen outside the yard had no objection to this.

If Hu Jiaojiao hadn't taught them the method, this saltpeter would be just an ordinary stone to them and would have no effect.

Even if all the saltpeter was given to Hu Jiaojiao, it would be the right thing to do.

"Okay, then thank you, chief." Hu Jiaojiao didn't pretend and nodded to accept it.

She originally asked the chief to send people to find it just to get saltpeter so that she could use ice cubes openly.

After seeing off the chief, Hu Jiaojiao was preparing to transport the saltpeter into the warehouse with the cubs when Long Mo came back.

Seeing Hu Jiaojiao moving things, Long Mo turned into a human form and immediately stepped forward to take the saltpeter from her hand.

"What is this?" he asked in confusion.

"Saltpeter, the orcs who were looking for saltpeter came back today, and the chief gave it to us. These are the saltpeter that the chief gave us." Hu Jiaojiao explained. "

Daddy, mom is amazing. She made ice cubes with saltpeter today. We all tasted the ice cubes, and they were so cold!" Long Yao said excitedly.

Hearing this, Long Mo's eyes flashed with surprise.

Even the cubs said so, it must not be false.

I didn't expect that ice cubes could really be made in summer.

"The ice cubes we made today have melted. You take a rest. I'll make you another one." Hu Jiaojiao knew that Long Mo was curious about how ice cubes were made, so she prepared to make it for him again.

It was just right to cool him down.

But Long Mo held her hand and asked softly, "No, do we need to move these saltpeter into the warehouse?"

"Yes." Hu Jiaojiao nodded, and Long Mo continued.

"I'll move the saltpeter in first, and I'll tell you something later."
