C9 Ice making

First, Xiao Wen started to look for the ingredients for potassium nitrate on the wall of his own house. Sometimes he would go to the latrine, and sometimes he would run to the wall of his own house to flip around.

This made Zhou Wei, who was already dissatisfied with Xiao Wen, stomp his feet in anger!

"Xiao Wen! You'll go to the latrine and run to the backyard. Didn't you want to make ice cubes? Are you sure you're not making fertilizer for the dealer? " Zhou Wei said as he looked at Xiao Wen snappily.

After Xiao Wen heard it, he also knew that he had not made the ice cube yet. Now, it was useless to say anything else.

A month ago, he went out with the two sisters to buy wine with their hard-earned money. Now, he had to teach the three children a lesson for free and even provide them with ink and paper, which increased the pressure on Xiao Wen to earn money.

"Don't worry!" I will never break my promise! " Xiao Wen said confidently. He knew that whatever he said now was useless, so he could only use facts to speak.

"Zhou Wei, don't be rude. Since he had already decided on it, there was no need for him to say anything else. Little Wei, you must remember, as a woman, your words and actions must not be so frivolous! " Zhou Xian said coldly the moment he heard Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei was unhappy, why was it that every time he got injured, he would always be the one to get hurt?

Zhou Xian saw that Xiao Wen had been busy the whole afternoon, so he did not know what this brat was up to. However, when he saw that Xiao Wen had indeed changed quite a bit in the last two days, he didn't care too much about it.

Zhou Wei was almost fourteen this year, and in another two years, there would probably be people coming to his door to propose marriage.

Because in the era Xiao Wen lived in, women began to stay in their rooms for a long time after they were ten, never leaving their homes. If Zhou Wei was still playing outside on the streets with the boys at his age, it would seem that this woman had no rules and no manners.

Therefore, other than working with his sister to embroider flowers and the like, he spent most of his time listening to his sister nagging about the various aspects of a woman's etiquette!

On the other hand, Xiao Wen was also watching the operations of the super library as he practiced.

The Heavens did not disappoint the people. On the same night, Xiao Wen successfully produced potassium nitrate!

"It's a success!" Xiao Wen shouted.

"What are you arguing about? What was there to argue about? "It's already time for ten. Hurry up and go inside to eat. What are you shouting for?" Zhou Wei snappily ran into the courtyard to talk.

Hearing that, Zhou Xian slowly walked out of her room, glanced at the two of them and said: "Zhou Wei, how did I teach you before? Girls have to be dignified and generous. How is it proper for you to make such a ruckus? Xiao Wen, quickly go inside the house and eat. "

Zhou Wei pointed at Xiao Wen in annoyance: "Hmph! What are you looking at? Hurry up and enter the house to eat! "

Xiao Wen saw this and awkwardly laughed: "It's nothing, it's nothing, you guys can go back to your rooms to eat first, I will be there in a while. I'll give you all a surprise later. "

"Surprise? You promised me and Little Wei that you would earn some money in three days! As a man, you must stand up for yourself. If you dare to take responsibility for your actions, I hope you will not go back on your words! " Zhou Xian stood up straight, standing in front of Xiao Wen like a queen. Without asking too many questions, he just said a few words and turned back to his room.

After a while, Xiao Wen carried a big wooden bucket in his left hand and a copper bucket filled with water in his right hand as he entered the house. He said to the two sisters, "Come, come, come. I'll show you something good."

"This is water, not ice! Then what are we, the two of us, joking about? " Zhou Wei said.

"Let me show you what point water becomes ice!" Xiao Wen said haughtily.

As he said that, Xiao Wen picked up the potassium nitrate that he had meticulously produced throughout the afternoon. The white powder was first thrown into the huge bucket by Xiao Wen, and he said to Zhou Wei: "Go and get some water."

Zhou Wei was anxious to see Xiao Wen make a fool of himself, so he took out the water bucket in his room and waited by Xiao Wen's side.

Xiao Wen poured half of the copper basin's water out and floated on top of the wooden bucket. Then he said to Zhou Wei: "Slowly pour the water, match it with the speed I use to put the powder."

Zhou Wei did as he was told.

Not long later, the water in the copper basin started to feel cold, Xiao Wen knew that it was starting to change. He immediately grabbed a handful of potassium nitrate and threw it into the wooden bucket, causing the water in the bucket to freeze, and then make a crisp sound.

The cold air immediately transmitted through the copper basin to pour water into the basin. Very quickly, the water in the basin turned into an ice cube!

"Wah …" Sister, sister, look, it's really frozen! The water has really turned into ice! " Zhou Wei looked at everything in front of him and shouted excitedly!

"Xiao Wen, what spell did you use?" Zhou Wei asked curiously.

"This is not a spell, this is wisdom!" Xiao Wen said.

"This move of yours is indeed impressive! How did you do it? " Zhou Xian asked curiously!

"The mountaineers have their own brilliant plans!" Xiao Wen stroked his chin, pretending to have a beard!

"Look at how capable you are!" Zhou Wei said!

"This bucket is too small, and it's not enough either. I'd like to ask my sister-in-law to borrow some barrels and copper pots tomorrow so that we can start making ice tomorrow morning. By tomorrow morning, we'll go out to the market and sell ice. We'll definitely make money!" Xiao Wen said excitedly.

"Little Wei and I will embroider at home tomorrow, and we'll make dinner while we wait for you to come back." Zhou Xian said after he drank a mouthful of porridge.

It was only then that Xiao Wen remembered that amongst the two sisters, one was a widow and the other one was a teenager who was about to be engaged.

"Alright!" "Then wait for my good news at home tomorrow!" Xiao Wen said happily.

And so, the three of them began their light and tasteless dinner!

Xiao Wen looked at the plate of pickled vegetables in front of him, the Stir-Fried Vegetables that he grew and three bowls of porridge.

"Believe me, with me, Xiao Wen, in the future, I will not let you eat like this anymore. From now on, I will let you fish and meat, gold and jade ribbons, mountain and sea delicacies, inexhaustible! Enjoy all the glory and wealth! " Xiao Wen looked at the dishes in front of him, then looked at the sisters who were eating with him.

"Sis, Xiao Wen has gone silly again!" Zhou Xian said snappily.

Then they started to eat again, and the whole night went by without incident.

In the morning of the second day, the three students punctually arrived at Xiao Wen's home.

Ever since Xiao Wen won Cai Jing's couplet competition, he had won Huang Chengyan's recognition, so regarding this matter, Zhuge Liang and Shangguan Waner's family looked even more highly upon Xiao Wen, feeling that their own children would follow Xiao Wen and learn from him. At that time, Xiao Wen thought highly of their own children! Not only did he not oppose it, he was especially supportive.

"Wan-Er greets you, sir."

"Greetings, Mister."

"Greetings, sir."

After the three little fellows entered Xiao Wen's house, they greeted him with a bow and a bow.

"Because Mr. Brushstroke, Ink and Paper, I will only be preparing them for you at the market in the afternoon and will only be able to use them tomorrow, so I'll first teach you a few essays today." Leaning on the three little fellows, in order to not lose his dignity, Xiao Wen spoke as if he was putting on an act.

As the saying goes, in his place, he was plotting. To put it bluntly, it was a perfect match in terms of attire!

"Thank you, sir, for your love." Zhuge Liang thanked him. Guan Yu and Wan'er immediately thanked him.

Following which, Xiao Wen taught the most suitable < Three Character Classic > to the three little fellows.

Come and say to me, "When people are born, they are naturally kind-hearted."

"In the beginning, people were naturally kind-hearted." The three little fellows followed and said.

Thus, with the Three Character Classic as the teaching method, the teaching of these three students began!

After learning, the three of them left Xiao Wen's home with gazes of worship.

When it was almost time, Xiao Wen began to create the ice!

Because potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, the heat absorption characteristics, so their own made potassium nitrate made ice especially quickly.
