what?

Zhao Yunshu noticed everyone's eyes were on her. She coughed lightly and began to explain, "I saw a chemistry book in the bookstore a while ago that talked about making ice with saltpeter. Since it was too hot, I decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, it worked."

What did you learn from the book?

There are still several high school students in my family, why didn’t they think of this?

Zhao Jianping met his father's gaze and gave a wry smile.

I can't learn it.

"This thing can really cool you down. If you fan the ice with a fan, you will feel much cooler instantly." Grandma Zhao saw with her own eyes how her granddaughter made the ice.

Captain Zhao thought of the educated youth in the Youth House.

They are all high school students, how come they couldn't think of this method of making ice with saltpeter?

If we had thought of this earlier, there would be no cases of heatstroke during the autumn harvest.

Are you all reading the Book of Heaven?

The whole family gathered together to eat, and occasionally gathered over there.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her sister-in-law and found her more and more beautiful.

How come it’s so powerful?

For a capable person like her, there is no need to spend time doing housework. It would be a waste of time.

I hope that my children can often follow my sister-in-law and learn some of her intelligence.

No electricity, no fan, but still cool.

Zhao Yunshu: What is my sister-in-law looking at me for? She looks weird. Is it because she ate too much?

A few children ate their meal, but from time to time they would stare at the basin of ice.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, it is very rare to have such a large basin of ice.

"Nini, is this thing easy to make?" Although Zhao Jianping is now a father, he is still very curious when he sees Bing.

"As long as you have saltpeter, you can make ice, and you can reuse the saltpeter."

So easy to use?

"Is saltpeter expensive?"

This question stumped Zhao Yunshu.

"Dad, I don't know if this thing is expensive or not. I know you plan to use it for the autumn harvest."

Captain Zhao indeed thought so.

"Every year during the autumn harvest, many people suffer from heatstroke. Even though they have medicine, some still get it."

"Then cook something to cool down the heat. Mung beans can cool down the heat, as can mint and patchouli."

"Mint?"

"Yes, soak it in water and drink it, and add patchouli."

In this era, I don’t know if there is Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid.

Captain Zhao wrote down these two things that can help relieve summer heat.

When the autumn harvest comes, let the kitchen prepare it.

Zhao Jianshe came home after dinner.

It wasn't surprising to see a basin of ice, as he had helped me before.

"Sanhe, this is honey for grandma. Be careful and take us to say hello to grandma. Here are the money and pockets."

Originally, Zhao Yunhai was asked to go along, but Zhao Jianshe refused and planned to go alone. He could also fit a bag of watermelons on the back seat.

"Don't worry, sister. I have a bicycle. I will be back before dark."

He took the things and rode away on his bike.

No one thinks buying watermelon is a waste.

"Auntie, it's so cool."

"Sister, do you think it's melted?"

In the past, at this time, the little kids would go out for a walk after dinner instead of staying at home.

"It's about to melt, so we can make more ice."

The family gathered together and watched Zhao Yunshu make ice in front of them.

"So simple?"

After watching the whole process, Zhao Jianping uttered a word.

"Dad, wait until the ice melts and I'll leave it to you." Er Zhuang felt that his father was arrogant. It just looked simple.

"Okay, let's listen to the radio." Grandpa Zhao had already taken out his radio and planned to listen to the radio for a while.

Despite his age, the old man still has a curiosity to explore new things.

"You've been working on this all afternoon?"

Zhao Yunshu nodded. "It's too hot. There's ice. Although it won't cool it down much, it's at least a lot cooler."

At least it can lower the temperature by several degrees.

"Your brain works quickly, but where did this saltpeter come from?"

This thing is not common.

Zhao Yunshu glanced at Huo Shaobei meaningfully, "You'd better not know where I got it."

This made Huo Shaobei even more curious.

Why don't you want him to know?

"But I want to know."

This is what you want to know. Don't blame me if you vomit later.

But before that, Zhao Yunshu asked again, "Do you really want to know?"

But Huo Shaobei mistakenly thought that Zhao Yunshu didn't want to tell him.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

That's what I want to know.

If you don't tell me, you might think she is hiding something.

"I'm whispering to you, I just scraped it off by the toilet."

Huo Shaobei's eyes widened instantly and he stared at Zhao Yunshu in disbelief, his gaze falling on the ice basin. How could it be possible?

But there was no way Nini could lie to him about this.

This is the fact.

Seeing a frown, disgust, and other expressions on his face, Zhao Yunshu shrugged and said, "I didn't intend to tell you, but you wanted to know, and since you're my man, I can't hide it from you."

Huo Shaobei looked at Zhao Yunshu with a heavy expression.

He planned to put a pot of it in the house at night, which would help cool them down and help them sleep better.

But now that I heard where it was scraped off from, I feel a little conflicted.

"You can't blame me for this. It's just your own curiosity."

Huo Shaobei: Blame him for asking too many questions.

He should not ask about things that Nini doesn’t want to talk about in the future.

"Don't worry, I filtered it several times, it doesn't stink."

Now it’s not a question of whether it stinks or not.

"How did you recognize that stuff as saltpeter?"

Do I need to ask so clearly?

Zhao Yunshu just stared at Huo Shaobei, and suddenly smiled, "My Xiaobei needs to ask so clearly, then why not ask, what do I want to do now?"

Prefer not to say?

Then he won’t ask.

"I'll go boil some water for a bath."

Zhao Yunshu watched the other person go to the kitchen before looking away. He listened to the standard Mandarin coming from the radio and occasionally heard songs playing, which sounded quite nice.

But the people in the team were curious. Why didn’t the Zhao family see it?

The neighbors vaguely heard some noise coming from the Zhao family, but they couldn't make out what it was.

"Sister, I'm back."

Zhao Jianshe rode his bicycle into the yard from outside.

There were a lot of things on a bicycle, including a bag of watermelons on the crossbar and another bag of watermelons tied to the back seat.

Zhao Jianshe was also carrying a backpack.

"This is the melon my grandma picked for you."

Honey is a good thing, it can only be found in the mountains. Such a big bottle must have brought back a lot of melons.

"So many watermelons, we can eat them for several days."

When Zhao Jianshe returned, he brought back two big watermelons and some melons.

But looking at these watermelons, Zhao Yunshu still felt that they were too few.

Or, how about sowing more seeds in the mountains next year?
