Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

377 What a Coincidence

The bottom of the small pot was frozen together with the big pot. Even if the surroundings were chiseled, it was difficult to take the small pot out. Now that it had been a while and the weather was hot, the thin layer of ice at the bottom of the small pot and the big pot had melted. The small pot could be taken out.

“How do we take out this ice? By chiseling it?” Xue Sifu looked at the slightly melted ice in the small pot and didn’t know what to do.

“We’re in a hurry to use this small pot, so let’s chisel it,” Liu Guixia said.

Xue Sifu and Xue Yifu decided to take it out like that.

However, Jiang Yue quickly interjected, “There’s no need to chisel it. Just wash the outside of the pot with water and the ice will come out. Last winter, when it was especially cold, a small pot of water in my house was frozen. My mother used this method to pour the entire ice out without much effort. However, my mother used hot water at that time, but on such a hot day, the ice will melt faster than normal water. It should be fine to use cold water directly even. No matter how low the temperature of cold water is, it is still higher than the temperature of the ice in the pot. Logically speaking, it should work.”

Everything she said was crafted by lies.

Xue Yan knew.

He put his fist to his lips and coughed.

“Really?” Liu Guixia and the others were quite surprised. “Then Sifu, why don’t you try it out?”

“No problem!” Xue Sifu was quite surprised at this news as well. He quickly tried it out and placed the small pot on top of the bucket with the river water. Then, he got Yifu to scoop up the water and wash it down from the surface of the small pot.

After wetting the bottom of the bowl, he put it into a bowl that Li Hehua had brought over.

The ice had really come out!

“What a coincidence!” Liu Guixia and the others all laughed happily.

Seeing that there wasn’t much water left in the bucket, Xue Yifu was afraid that it wouldn’t be enough. He didn’t even need to say anything, and they quickly went to carry another bucket of filled water.

After getting a small pot, they still needed a big pot. Liu Guixia and Li Hehua poured the ice and melted water in the big pot that came with the small pot into the big pot that Xue Sifu bought today. Then, they carried the big pot out to the yard to dry.

There was still saltpeter in it. The saltpeter would appear again after it was dried.

They didn’t have time now, but when they had time later, they would set up the big pot of water, boil it, and then cool it. Once the water inside dries, they would be able to obtain the saltpeter faster.

After he was done, he was ready to pour only 20 kilograms of saltpeter into it.

Xue Sifu weighed 20 kilograms and saw that the big and small pots were filled with water again. He was ready to pour the saltpeter into the big pot, so he poured the saltpeter into the big pot.

The water in the large and small pots immediately froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although there were still saltpeter crystals at the bottom of the big pot, it was only a little, probably less than a few grams, so Xue Sifu and the others completely ignored it.

Therefore, it was decided that when making ice in the future, the big pot would be filled with 20 kilograms of saltpeter.

At this point, Liu Guixia also started to speak, “Alright, Yifu, you’re not needed here. Hurry up and go make more ice pots. These two big and two small pots will not be enough. We can’t use the other pots at home because the sizes are all different.”

“Sure.” Xue Yifu agreed with a silly smile, then left.

Under the shed, there were a lot of small wooden blocks, all of which he used to make the pot.
