Chapter 375 It's not like that...
"It's frozen. It's frozen. It's really frozen. It's also frozen in the small pot. It's great." Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan's wife, you took my hand, and I took your hand , are not happy.
Xue Sihu turned around in a rare excitement and beat his elder brother with a fist: "Brother, it's really frozen!"
Xue Yihu just smiled awkwardly, obviously very happy too.
Xue Yan also smiled. The family is happy.
Jiang Yue didn't smile, but went to find a piece of bamboo, and then squatted in front of the basin, scraping the saltpeter crystals that had precipitated on the ice of the big basin.
And there are quite a lot of saltpeter crystals at the bottom of the big basin of ice.
If it is said that the temperature on the ice surface decreases, the solubility of saltpeter decreases, and the precipitated saltpeter crystals, then the bottom and middle should be more saltpeter, and the water has frozen and frozen before it has time to melt. .
Xue Sihu only noticed this, and immediately squatted down and looked at it: "Is this too much saltpeter? So these are not finished yet?"
Jiang Yue is not good to directly say that you have added too much saltpeter, and it is not easy to say for sure that as long as you add enough saltpeter, it will freeze, and a certain amount of saltpeter will be precipitated on the ice. He said: "Maybe, or fourth brother, let's try adding a little less saltpeter in the next pot?"
"Okay!" Xue Sihu had no objection.
"Four Tigers, I really have you," Yu Hongyan laughed, "You said half a bag, and it really did. Now we are all at ease."
Knowing that ice can be made, they all felt at ease, Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, and Xue Yihu all nodded.
Xue Sihu immediately smiled and said, "I said that casually, because Xiaoyan said that he could reuse the saltpeter, and he was not afraid of losing the saltpeter, so I dared to do so."
"No matter what, it's done anyway." Liu Guixia was really relieved, and she felt very at ease.
Jiang Yue is still scraping the saltpeter precipitated on the ice.
There is a big scoop next to it, which I didn't use just now, but now I just put the saltpeter she scraped out.
Xue Yan also found a piece of bamboo, then squatted down and helped scrape it.
Liu Guixia and the others also helped, scraping out the saltpeter and putting it into a big scoop. Before helping, I also found a clean cloth and covered the small basin, so that nothing would fall into the small basin and the ice in the small basin could not be eaten.
Seeing that there are saltpeter crystals at the bottom of the big pot of ice, there are quite a lot of them, and a big scoop can't fit at all, so Li Hehua simply went to find a wooden barrel.
Put the scraped saltpeter in a wooden barrel.
Xue Sihu and Xue Yihu went looking for something to chisel ice.
Seeing that all the saltpeter on the surface of the large basin of ice had been scraped off, they began to chisel the ice and took out the large unmelted saltpeter crystals at the bottom of the ice.
Xue Sihu was busy with this, and said: "I just added half a bag, although I didn't use a scale, it should be about 50 jin. Now that there is so much more, we will add so much less in the next pot. "
It's not like that...
Jiang Yue wanted to say.
This also includes the saltpeter crystals precipitated due to the decrease in temperature. This part still has to be added again, and it cannot be reduced, otherwise it will not freeze.
But it has already frozen once. If it doesn't freeze, you know that there is less saltpeter added, so Jiang Yue didn't say anything.
And Xue Yan naturally didn't say anything.
Xue Sihu didn't take the scale, he directly took the wooden barrel with his hand to estimate, and then said: "Let's try adding 20 pounds to the next pot."
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed him.
Liu Guixia and the others naturally follow him.
It's just that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew it in their hearts. According to the size of this big pot and the amount of water it could hold, twenty pounds would definitely not freeze.
