Chapter 384 Just in time for them to take a look
Xue Yan had no choice but to take the glutinous rice flour from this sister-in-law.
Seeing that Jiang Yue had already taken a bowl and seemed to want glutinous rice flour, he walked over with the glutinous rice flour and put it on the stool next to him.
Jiang Yue opened the cloth bag of glutinous rice flour, scooped out a little glutinous rice flour from the inside, put it in a bowl, then added water to the bowl and stirred well.
Seeing that the salt and sugar water in the pot was boiling, she immediately stood on the small bench again, then lifted the lid of the pot and poured the glutinous rice flour solution in the bowl.
While pouring in, stir the pot.
Soon, the glutinous rice flour was cooked, and it looked a little thick. Jiang Yuecai asked Li Hehua to put out the fire in the stove, and she herself put the contents of the pot into a large port.
"When it cools down, you can pour it into a bamboo tube and freeze it." Jiang Yue said. "Pour it in when it's hot and it won't necessarily keep it frozen."
"Yes, yes, let's cool down." Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan all agreed.
When the contents in the large port cooled down and the sun went down, the contents in the large pot on the rack were boiled so that only a little water remained, and the rest were saltpeter crystals.
"Don't boil it too dry, it won't be good if the pot is burnt. Isn't this one that can be dried? Let's dry the remaining water tomorrow. Just this little water, it is estimated that there is not much saltpeter in it. But it can't be wasted." Liu Guixia was a little worried that the pot would be burnt, so she said.
Xue Sihu also had this concern, so he put out the fire under the cauldron. The pot is still hot, and a little water has evaporated. When the pot is completely cold, the saltpeter crystals in the pot are taken out, and the remaining water is still in the pot. Whether to get it out tomorrow and put it aside for drying, or put it directly in the pot to dry, anyway, there are Way to go, don't worry about this.
There is really not much saltpeter in the water, and there are almost 200 catties of saltpeter there, which can be used to make ice.
At this time, Jiang Yuecai planned to make her solid popsicles, Xue Yan took the big port and came to the main room with her, and Xue Sihu also came to help.
Li Hehua and Liu Guixia were cooking dinner, so they didn't come to help, but Yu Hongyan came to the main room to watch.
It was also at this time that Xue Dafu, Xue Erhu, Xue Sanhu, and Xue Wuhu returned from work. The courtyard wall is almost finished, and the courtyard gate can be finished tomorrow, and then the workshop is fully built.
Knowing that the family might get saltpeter from the old doctor Shen today, Xue Wuhu was so excited that he didn't wait for Xue Dafu and the others. When he heard the call, he immediately flew back like a monkey.
The small basin of ice on the table has almost melted, and Xue Wuhu doesn't feel a pity, just knowing that it can really freeze has made him very happy, and seeing Jiang Yue want to eat ice in his hand , he was also busy around, watching with great excitement.
I wanted to help, but because I was too excited, I didn’t know how to help for a while.
Xue Dafu, Xue Erhu, and Xue Sanhu came back later, so they came to have a look. Although they already know that ice can be made, they still don't know how to make it.
And the ice made by their family Yuebao, I heard that it is similar to making ice in a small basin, they are all placed in a large basin, and they just took a look.
Jiang Yue picked up a bamboo tube and put it on the stool. Because there are ten bamboo tubes tied together, they are about the same thickness and height, and the bottom and top openings are all aligned. This is placed on the stool, and it can stand stably without anyone supporting it.
