You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?
Chapter 227 Making Ice from Saltpeter
"Nothing." Su Wanning said.
After dinner, in order to prevent myself from waking up in pain in the middle of the night, I prepared some brown sugar water and a hot water bottle in advance.
But to her surprise, she slept very comfortably.
When I woke up the next morning, it was drizzling.
She had originally thought of not going to the village today, but unexpectedly it started raining.
It was raining and the temperature dropped a lot.
Su Wanning sat on the bench under the corridor and fell asleep again amid the sound of the rain.
Liu Mi saw Su Wanning fell asleep, so he took the small blanket beside Su Wanning and covered her with it.
Su Wanning felt the movement and tried to open her eyes. When she saw that it was Liu Mi, she fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was almost noon.
Su Wanning yawned and watched the rain continue to fall.
After saying something to Yueshu, he returned to the yard.
Because I hardly moved for half a day and hadn't digested the food in my stomach, I had no appetite for lunch.
At around 8 o'clock in the afternoon, I drank a cup of milk that Yueshu had heated up, and then sat in the corridor with nothing to do.
I saw a few lounge chairs on the corridor, and I thought they were newly bought by the housekeeper.
Su Wanning took out some cushions and spread them on top, then lay down.
Seeing Liu Mi doing nothing on the side, Liu Mi also felt Su Wanning's gaze.
"what happened?"
"It's a bit boring to be idle all of a sudden."
"What do you want to do?" Liu Mi said, and then prepared to stand up, "How about playing a few games of chess?"
Su Wanning immediately shook her head, "I've had enough of you killing me last time. I don't want to play anymore."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Su Wanning thought about it and realized that the ice in her space was gone. She had originally planned to make some when she had time, and now she happened to have time.
"Let's make some ice cubes so we can eat them later."
"Ice making?"
In the past, ice cubes were almost always stored in a special ice cellar in advance in winter, and then taken out in the summer to be cut into pieces and sold.
I have never heard of a method to make ice, but Su Wanning had taken out so many strange things before, and if she said she could, then it must be possible.
"Master, go find someone to buy some saltpeter."
Saltpeter? It's not a common thing, but it should be available in places that make fireworks.
"If you need anything else, I'll buy it all."
Su Wanning thought about it and thought that the clean iron basin in her space and the wooden barrel outside should be available in the mansion, but just in case.
"Buy a clean, larger barrel."
Liu Mi nodded, then stood up and left the house.
Su Wanning took advantage of the time when Liu Mi went out shopping to eat something.
Liu Mi came back soon after buying things.
Su Wanning stood up from the stool, took out a smaller iron basin from the space, and tried the size.
Put water in a wooden barrel, add saltpeter, stir it, put it in an iron basin, and pour in the drinkable water.
After waiting for about an hour, I stirred the water again.
It is already obvious that ice chips are appearing on the water surface.
The people around looked at Su Wanning in surprise. This was another discovery that was relatively important to the times here.
Su Wanning looked at the excited faces of several people and poured a glass of cold water on them. "Although it is possible to make ice, the time and materials required are astonishing."
Liu Mi also nodded. After all, the money he spent on buying saltpeter was enough to buy two buckets of ice.
But for some people, this approach may be able to achieve greater benefits.
By the time dinner was over, it was obvious that the iron basin in the wooden barrel had turned into ice, but it was still not completely frozen.
The next day, when Su Wanning woke up, she saw Jinhua running to her and said, "Miss, we have the ice."
Su Wanning nodded. Although it was something she had expected, she still followed Jinhuan to take a look.
I took the iron basin out and left it there for a while.
A layer of water melted around the ice, making it easy to take it out. Su Wanning immediately put the ice into the space.
Use your consciousness to cut the ice into pieces with a knife, and then take it out from the space.
Made a glass of ice water for everyone except her.
Liu Mi took the cold water and tasted it, then nodded, "It's no different from the ice we sell."
Su Wanning smiled proudly after hearing this and looked at the sky where it was still raining.
I don’t know when the rain will stop. Even if it stops, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for a while before I can go to the free clinic.
After all, the roads are now covered in mud, and if you take a carriage, you probably won’t be able to walk.
Just as Su Wanning was thinking this, the housekeeper from the mansion came over.
"Sir, the guy outside the door said he was from the village down below and he was looking for a job."
When Su Wanning heard this, she thought of the father and son in that village.
"It's still raining, why are they here at this time?" Su Wanning looked at Liu Mi.
Liu Mi naturally saw that Su Wanning wanted to go to the mansion gate to see what was going on, so he asked tentatively, "Go and take a look?"
Su Wanning nodded immediately and followed the housekeeper to the gate of the mansion, where she saw the father and son hiding from the rain.
When the father and son heard the voice, they immediately bowed to the few people and said, "Excuse me."
Liu Mi looked at the two of them. There was only a small amount of rain on their bodies, so they should not have come from the village.
“We came to the city a few days ago and rented a house in the north of the city. We packed up our things from the village these days, so we were delayed for some time.
I went to the city these past two days to look for a job, but they said they didn't need anyone. I had no choice but to come and bother you. Please recommend a job for me. We will be very grateful.
As he said this, he bent down towards Liu Mi.
Liu Mi looked at the two of them. They moved to the city without confirming their jobs. It was simply because they were driven out by the villagers.
"Get up first."
After saying that, he looked at the butler and said, "Ask him a little and see what he is good at. If there is a job that the store needs, then assign him a job."
After hearing this, the butler took the father and son to the side to inquire about the situation. After understanding the situation, he took the father and son to other stores in a carriage to inquire.
Su Wanning looked at the carriage passing by and was about to ask Liu Mi why they came at this time, but she saw a familiar figure in the rain.
Su Wanning immediately ran out in the rain.
When Liu Mi saw Su Wanning going out in the rain, he immediately took two quick steps to catch up, using his internal energy to push away the rain that was about to fall on them.
But before Su Wanning arrived, the figure got on the carriage, Yang Chang'e left.
Su Wanning walked to the door of the shop where the carriage stopped.
He ran to the shop and asked the owner, "Which mansion in the city did that carriage just now belong to?"
The shopkeeper saw Su Wanning's red eyes, glanced at Liu Mi behind her, and said truthfully, "It's from the Zhou Mansion in the city."
