Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 86 Promotion
Ye Xing secretly turned her head to look in Shen She's direction, and found that he really flipped through the books very quickly. He really deserves to be the number one student in Xunyang Mansion, and it's not surprising that he will be the top student in high school in the future.But Ye Xing is now very afraid that Shen She will come to check if there is any ice after finishing the book, it would be bad if he feels that he is playing tricks on him.

Ye Xing felt that the ancient saltpeter might not be purified well enough, so the effect of absorbing heat and making ice was too poor, so Ye Xing thought about pouring a whole box of saltpeter into it while Shen She was not paying attention while reading, and didn't care about being able to make ice. It cannot all be dissolved.

Shen She was just observing Ye Xing secretly, but she didn't expect her to look back suddenly, which really shocked him.So in order to hide that he didn't read the book, he could only quickly flip through a few pages to cover his eyes, almost crumpling the pages.When he calmed down, he found that there was no other sound from Ye Xing's side, so he peeked over again, and found that Ye Xing put his hand into the small bowl, and a look of surprise began to appear on his face.

"Shen Langjun, come here quickly, the water in this small bowl has become very icy, and it will probably freeze in a short time!" Ye Xing thought that it would be too difficult, and finally made ice, and Shen She had to let Shen She do it. See for yourself too.

Ye Xing's voice almost caused Shen She, who was peeping, to crumple the book in his hand in fright. He pretended to be calm and smoothed the book on the table, then walked to Ye Xing's side.

"Put your hand in and feel it. The water is really cold, just like the water that is about to freeze in winter. I think it will freeze if given a little more time." Ye Xing excitedly asked Shen She to stretch out his hand Go in and try it out.

As soon as Shen She's hand touched the water surface, he felt a chill emanating from his fingertips to his entire palm. It really felt like ice. It seemed that what Ye Xing said was not a lie.Anyway, he couldn't read the book, so instead of being startled by Ye Xing again, Shen She simply moved a chair and sat opposite Ye Xing to observe the ice with her.

The emperor paid off, Ye Xing poured so much saltpeter into it, it was finally effective, and after a while, the water in the small bowl really froze.This time without Ye Xing's reminder, Shen She stood up excitedly, then tapped the ice in the bowl with his hand, it was indeed completely frozen.And the water in the vat also froze, and white saltpeter powder did reappear outside.

Shen She was a little excited, he wanted to take this bowl of ice and saltpeter to see his father immediately, and let him see this miraculous phenomenon.Just when Shen She ordered Zhishu to take everything with him to Shen Ting, he found that the box containing the saltpeter was empty, so he turned to look at Ye Xing.

Ye Xing said embarrassedly: "Maybe the purity of the saltpeter is not high, and the ice-making effect was not good at the beginning, so I thought about pouring all of them in, and it really froze. But it doesn't matter, I will scrape the outside of it later. Just come down and put it back, hehe."

This appearance of Ye Xing made Shen She feel normal, presumably she had discovered it by accident or heard it from others, otherwise her swearing appearance before made him doubtful.

"You also go with me to meet my father." Seeing Ye Xing's hesitation, Shen She said, "Don't you want to use saltpeter to make ice to protect the fruits brought back from Lingnan, I alone can't give you these saltpeter , after seeing my father, maybe he can give you some."

"Okay." Ye Xing really didn't want to see Shen Ting, although Shen Ting was a good official, no matter from the mouths of the Xunyang people, his ability to raise children like Shen She and Shen Xi was enough to prove his good reputation.But it must be very powerful to become a second-rank official, I'm afraid I will make mistakes in front of him, I just hope that she won't be forced to lie in front of Shen Ting again.

Shen She only thought that Ye Xing had never seen such a big official, so he was a little scared. He led Ye Xing to Shen Ting's study and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, although my father looks serious, he is very easy-going. All the people he visited praised him. Besides, I told him about you being bullied by your uncle and aunt before, and he admired you for being a self-reliant girl."

Ye Xing could only smile gratefully at Shen She, when the door of Shen Ting's study room opened, she immediately restrained the expression on her face, took a deep breath and followed Shen She lightly.Sure enough, Shen Ting, who was able to raise such a talented son as Shen She, also loves to read. There are several rows of bookshelves in the huge study room full of books, and there are many calligraphy and paintings made by Shen Ting himself on the wall.

"Why did you come to me suddenly today? Is there something wrong?" Shen Ting had already heard the report from his servants and knew that Shen She was coming to him. When he saw a young girl following behind Shen She, he couldn't help asking, "This is……"

"This is Miss Ye I mentioned to you before. I brought her here today because she has a new discovery." Seeing Ye Xing's nervous look, Shen She felt a little amused, but after all, she couldn't bear to let her face her father alone So he took the lead in introducing her.

Ye Xing quietly raised her head to look at Shen Ting, and found that Shen She looked very similar to him, especially those eyes, but the majesty of a superior who had been baptized by the years was more in the eyes.Seeing that Shen Ting turned his attention to her again, he quickly saluted and said, "My lord Shen, Ye Xing, the daughter of the people, accidentally discovered that saltpeter can be used to make ice, so I wanted to use it for transporting fresh fruits. Miss Shen has some friendship, so I came here to let you know."

It was also the first time for Shen Ting to hear that saltpeter could make ice, but he must have verified it when he saw Shen She personally bring someone over.So Shen Ting only asked Shen She: "Is there such a thing?"

"That's true. If you don't believe me, you let in the two boys from outside. What they have in their hands is the ice made with saltpeter in my study." After seeing Shen Ting nodding, Shen She clapped his hands to let the boy carrying the big tank come in .

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Ting found a layer of white powder on the outer wall of the big tank. After the big tank was placed on the ground, he noticed that the small bowl inside had indeed frozen, and even the water in the big tank had frozen.As soon as the two young men put down the vat, they quickly rubbed their hands that were flushed with ice. It seemed that there was indeed nothing wrong with the ice in it.

"Father, in addition to making gunpowder, saltpeter can also make ice. With this method, many people will no longer have to suffer like a steamer during the scorching heat." Shen She hates the scorching summer, which makes people feel irritable. Fair enough with ice most of the time.But the common people are miserable, some of them even fell in the fields and never got up again.

Shen Ting also thought of the scene he had inspected before, so he sighed, but it is not so simple to promote ice-making on a large scale, so he asked, "How much time did you spend making this bowl of ice, and how much money did you use?" Nitre?"
