"It is indeed impossible for others to make some ice now. Where would we get ice at this time? Unless we go to the ice cellar in the palace or go to the depths of the Turks, we might be able to get some if we go back to the Qi Nation. But if we go back and forth, we might as well wait for winter in the main hall. "
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, but Zhang Feng chuckled and said, "But, I am talking about others. As long as you can find saltpeter, I can make the ice for you."
Cheng Chumo was too lazy to even ask about the method. He got up and rushed out of the room.
Saltpeter was not easy to get, but he vaguely remembered that there were some saltpeter in the barracks at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, there were saltpeter in the smoke. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Cheng Chumo came back with a big bag of saltpeter. Zhang Feng found a water jar and poured the saltpeter into it.
Then, he directed a few people to pour more than half of the water into the vat. The water and the saltpeter produced a violent chemical reaction. The water splashed and there were occasional bursting sounds, as if the water was boiling. Those who saw it were greatly surprised. Under the gazes of the few people, the water surface gradually calmed down.
Zhao Feng poured the prepared cold water into the copper basin and let the basin float on the water surface. Soon, under the astonished gazes of the few people, some white ripples began to appear on the water surface. Then, the white ripples gradually became clear. The bottomless water slowly turned into the color of rice soup.
After what seemed like the time it took to eat a meal, the surface of the water jar was covered in white. It was like the kind of smoke that was spat out. It had accumulated all over the Salt City. At this moment, the water in the copper basin began to slowly freeze. Moreover, it was rapidly freezing under everyone's gazes.
Cheng Chumo secretly touched it with his hand. Instantly, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "F * ck, brother, how did you do it? Isn't this the last few days of the hot summer? This is even hotter than June. You can actually make the water freeze. My god, even the storytellers don't dare to say this. "
"Shut up, don't ask if you don't know. We'll be relying on it to make a fortune next year. You don't know how poor I am right now. Do you think it's easy for me to raise two to three thousand people on the mountain? Let's talk about this first. Don't tell anyone about this. This is a way for us to get rich in the future. Do you want to drink some cold beer? "
Cheng Chumo nodded his head like a rattle-drum. He looked at Zhang Feng as if he was looking at a god. Cheng Chumo didn't want to continue talking about this matter. Hearing Zhang Feng's words, he kept his mouth shut. He always felt that it wouldn't be difficult for his brother to earn money. There was no need for him to make preparations now. After all, whether it was the white paper or the braised meat, etc.
There was also the matter with those old bastards a few days ago. Those were all ways to make money. Moreover, those dozens of boxes of money were stored in ink. Even if it was the two to three thousand yuan on the mountain, if they didn't do anything and just relied on the money to buy rice and food, they would still be able to live in luxury for three to five years. Why did this kid say that he was so poor?
However, this wasn't the time to think about this. Being able to drink the iced grapes was the most important thing. Several people sat cross-legged around the vat. After waiting for the water in the basin to slowly freeze, Zhang Feng took out a small hammer and broke the white ice. Everyone couldn't wait to take the ice and bite it in their mouths. Then, they carefully took a few ice cubes and put them in their glass cups.
Lying on the grass and drinking the refreshing iced grapes, they instantly felt very cool. The ice cubes hit the glass cups, making tinkling sounds. At this time, it sounded like a moving lullaby, making people feel refreshed from head to toe. No one was in the mood to talk. They just looked at the clouds floating in the sky, bumping into each other. From time to time, one or two little birds flew over their heads and played.
Chen Chumo was a drunkard. He wasn't used to drinking small mouthfuls of wine. After drinking a bowl of wine, he got up and poured the ice cubes in the half copper basin into the wine jar. Putting the wine jar beside him, Chen Chumo felt comfortable. He drank the wine and fell asleep for a while. Thunderous snoring sounded.
Zhang Feng and others drank the wine in their bowls, looking at the sky and smiling bitterly. The weather in August was so strange and changeable. Sometimes, he was as gentle as a woman's hand gently stroking her cheek.
Sometimes, he was as cruel as a strict father, cold and heartless. Sometimes, he was as passionate as fire. He just lay there and fell asleep. When Zhang Feng opened his eyes again, the sky was already full of stars. It looked like a jade belt across the sky. The vexed Zhang Feng found the two stars, Cowherd and Vega in the sky. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
They would have a chance to meet each other once a year. As for him, he still had such a chance.
The distance between him and his old mother at home was more than thousands of years. This was more than a thousand years. Not to mention this life, even in the next life, he probably wouldn't be able to meet her again. Zhang Feng smacked his lips and picked up the remaining wine in the bowl. He seemed to be toasting to the Cowherd and Vega in the sky. He said softly, "Take care!"
