Reborn Craftsman

Not only the people in Dongyu Village knew about it, but even the residents of Banqiao Town, even the elderly probably knew about this inside story.

Saltpeter, also known as potassium nitrate.

When dissolved in water, it will absorb a lot of heat, which can cool the surrounding water until it freezes.

Craftsmen only need to put water into the tank, take a larger container, put water in the container, then put the jar in the container, and constantly add saltpeter to the container, and wait for a while for the water in the tank to freeze. It became ice.

If saltpeter can make ice, why can't it make popsicles?

As long as the popsicle grinding tools are prepared in advance, pour the prepared popsicle ingredients, and use saltpeter to lower the temperature to become popsicles. This is simply a very simple matter.

The reason why no one thought of it before was because everyone thought that the popsicles had to be refrigerated successfully with expensive refrigeration appliances such as refrigerators or freezers, so they didn't put their minds on saltpeter.

After Liu Xing's pointing and inference, I am a good boy, and it will definitely be done.

Director Zhang thought of this, and immediately said: "That little Liu! You didn't tell Zhang's family about using saltpeter to make popsicles, did you?"

"No! What's the matter?"

Liu Xing scratched his head in doubt.

When he arrived at Dongyu Village, he mentioned that making popsicles with saltpeter was a temporary idea, and it had nothing to do with the Zhang family.

"It's fine if you don't have one. I'll tell you the reason later. Go, go! Go to the kitchen to experiment with making popsicles. If it works, haha... Dongyu Village is going to get rich!" Director Zhang pulled Liu Xing and walked into the kitchen. There was sugar and the mung bean porridge cooked earlier on the stove, and he quickly got busy with the washbasin.

It is summer now, and the supply of popsicles is in short supply in Banqiao Town. Apart from mung bean popsicles and salt water popsicles, several other newly developed cream popsicles can be bought for [-] cents each.

If Dongyu Village can make popsicles without using electricity, refrigerators and freezers, the profits can be imagined.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled. He found a few cups from the kitchen, waited for a while, and poured the popsicle ingredients prepared by Director Zhang into them.

There is no way, it is just an experiment now, and the mold can be made after it is completed.

After all, after rebirth, this was the first time he used saltpeter to make popsicles.

It would be God's will if Dongyu Village found a business that could subsidize the family because of his temporary interest.

But he knew that this kind of business could only be carried out in the countryside, and it might not work at all in the bustling urban areas.

Director Zhang brought a big basin with half of the water in it. Seeing that Liu Xing had almost prepared it, he said, "I put saltpeter, and you can put some popsicles in a small basin later." Go into the big basin, if there are no accidents, it will turn into a popsicle in at most two to three minutes!"

"Let's go!" Liu Xing was already ready.

As long as saltpeter can make ice, then the popsicles prepared in the cup can definitely be made.

Director Zhang was a little nervous. If he tried for a long time, he would be scolded by Village Chief Wang if he failed in the end. After all, the sugar and mung bean porridge for making popsicles were the supplies of the village, not her own.

Liu Xing was very calm, because he had done this kind of thing before, seeing that there was enough saltpeter in the big basin, he immediately put the small basin in his hand into it.

Director Zhang was looking forward to the result and hurried to help.

Put the prepared popsicle cups into a small basin.

The moment to witness the miracle arrived, that is, within ten seconds, the popsicle cup in the small basin began to freeze. Liu Xing looked at it and slapped his forehead, and quickly inserted a few chopsticks into the cup.

If the popsicles are made out of wood chips that are not good at it, it will not be delicious.

"It seems that the saltpeter is not enough, and the popsicles are not completely frozen!" Liu Xing reminded.

"I'll release it!" Director Zhang smiled and quickly picked up the saltpeter in the pan and put it into the big basin, and she didn't stop until it almost overflowed.

kitchen door.

Yaya poked her head out and watched all this.

The big eyes are full of curiosity.

Seeing Liu Xing take out the popsicle from the cup.

Immediately ran over on short legs, drooling: "Brother, I want to eat popsicles!"

"Okay!" Liu Xing handed the round popsicle in his hand to Yaya. Seeing that Director Zhang was about to speak but stopped looking a bit ugly, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"So much saltpeter has been put in. Although it doesn't mix with the popsicles, the smell is fused. Do you think it will be poisonous if you eat it?" Director Zhang expressed the worry in his heart.

If he was poisoned, I'm afraid everything before that would be wasted.

The reason why she thinks this way is because everyone in Dongyu Village understands that saltpeter can make ice, but no one has thought about making popsicles. There must be a reason for this.

And saltpeter is poisonous, I am afraid that is one of the reasons.

"Haha...the saltpeter is not poisonous!" Liu Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and without waiting for Director Zhang to recover, he twisted a popsicle out of the cup and tasted it in his mouth: "Well, I taste good, but it’s a little sweet, if I take it out and buy it, I’m sure I’ll lose money.”

The round popsicles in his hand are twice the size of those sold on the market, and the condiments are the purest, without saccharine at all. If they sell for ten cents a piece, I don't know if they can make money.

Although the experiment is successful now, if we want to make money on a large scale, I'm afraid we still have to study hard.

Molds and materials are the first barriers ahead.

However, Director Zhang didn't care about this at all. Seeing that Yaya was eating with gusto, he picked up the remaining three popsicles and ran out of the kitchen.

"Director Zhang, why are you going?" Liu Xing couldn't help shouting.

"Tell my family to come back and make popsicle molds. We'll make more money while it's still summer!" Director Zhang's excited voice came from outside.

Ye Tian smiled when he heard the words, the popsicle mold seems to be easy to make, but it is very difficult to make without a solid woodworking foundation, but he believes that Director Zhang will handle it. After all, Dongyu Village has a large population, and there should still be a few decent carpenters .

Seeing that Village Chief Wang hadn't come back yet, he was sitting at the gate of the bamboo building eating popsicles with Yaya in his arms. Not to mention, it's really pleasant in this hot weather.

However, this kind of comfort didn't last long, so don't disturb the group of friends brought by Yaya.

They looked at the popsicles in Liu Xing's hands, they were all salivating greedily, although they didn't say they wanted to eat them, but the look of eagerness in their eyes made it obvious that even a fool wanted to eat them.

Liu Xing had no choice but to go into the kitchen to make popsicles. Anyway, there are ready-made materials, and it doesn't take long to make them.

However, this group of gluttonous children, including Yaya, even wanted to eat after eating, and refused to leave in front of Liu Xing.

Liu Xing was dying of a headache and was trying to figure out a way to send them all away. Village head Wang finally came back, bringing dozens of villagers behind him.

Liu Xing was stunned and counted carefully, and was shocked immediately.

There are actually 37 villagers in Dongyu Village.

Most of them held tools in their hands, including axes, saws, and tool bags. Seeing how they were talking and laughing, it was obvious that Village Chief Wang had invited them here.
