Chapter 385 Put in half
Then, Jiang Yuecai and Xue Yan added the cooled liquid into the bamboo tube. When the bamboo tube was 80% full, Jiang Yuecai picked up the bamboo tube and placed the bottom on the stool. Knock gently so that there is no gap between the liquid in the bamboo tube.
Some of the liquid filled the gap below, and the bamboo tube was not 80% full. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan added some liquid to make popsicles into the bamboo tube to make it 80% full.
Gently knocked the bottom again, and then put the bamboo tube into a large pot prepared on the side.
The big basin has been filled with river water again, and it is also 80% full.
The bamboo tube is not as high as the big pot, and the bamboo has a certain buoyancy. The ten bamboo tubes are not only stable, but the liquid in the bamboo tube is 80% lower than the water level in the big pot, which is just right.
There was still boiled liquid in the big port, and Jiang Yue didn’t need to speak. Xue Sihu already helped, and took another bamboo tube and put it on the stool, and asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to pour the boiled liquid into the bamboo tube.
The is also 80% full, and the bottom is gently knocked and knocked again, so that there is a little thick liquid in the bamboo tube without any gaps, and then put it into the big pot.
Then there is not much boiled liquid in the big port, and another bamboo tube is not enough to fill 80% full, and it is estimated that it can't hold 5% full, so the little bit of boiled liquid left in the big port is not needed. .
Next is the stick.
"It's enough to put half of it in, and we can hold the other half in our hands." Jiang Yue said while demonstrating, slowly inserting a thin stick from the center of the mouth of a bamboo tube into half.
Because the liquid in the bamboo tube is a little thick, even if you let go, the thin stick will not sink.
just kept showing half of it.
Xue Yan also helped insert two.
"I know this!" Xue Wuhu finally felt that he could come, so he hurriedly used the hands he had already washed and had been waiting for, and picked up two clean thin sticks to help insert them.
Xue Sihu also washed his hands and helped him in.
Xue Dafu and the others didn't help, they just watched. They just came back, unlike Xue Wuhu who ran back first, so as not to make the food in his mouth dirty.
When the thin sticks were inserted, and seeing that the liquid in the bamboo tube was not higher than the water level in the large basin, Jiang Yuecai added: "The liquid in the two bamboo tubes combined is not as much as the water in a small basin, so it should be able to freeze. "Brother."
"Hey!" Xue Yihu had already set up a big pot and a small pot, and he had finished work. He was also in the main room. When Jiang Yue called him, he hurriedly poured the 33 kilograms of saltpeter that he had prepared into the big pot. in the water.
Saltpeter is easily soluble in water and absorbs a lot of heat, and the speed is visible to the naked eye. Soon, the water in the big pot and the liquid in the two bamboo tubes will freeze into ice.
"I'm going!" Xue Wuhu's eyes were about to pop out. "It's amazing too!"
He originally thought that the water-powered valley mill and the water-powered stone mill made by his family Xiaoyan were amazing enough, but he did not expect that this saltpeter ice making was even more amazing!
Xue Dafu and Xue Erhu's eyes widened immediately.
Even the cold Xue Sanhu stared blankly for a while.
Jiang Yue pulled out the thin stick in one of the bamboo tubes with a small hand. Seeing that it could not be pulled out, it was really frozen inside, so she put a clean cloth on each of the two bamboo tubes to prevent dirt from falling into it.
Xue Yan then scraped off the saltpeter that had precipitated on the ice in the large basin.
