Chapter 206 Another Year of Dragon Boat Festival (3)
The dragon boat passed in front of them one by one. Lin Xiaoqiao saw the blue veins protruding from the upper arms of those shirtless men, and her emotions rose accordingly. She followed Lin Erniu and the others together. Shout out.

Lin Xiaoqiao turned his head to look at his two older brothers, the two brothers were really too focused, the veins on his face were bulging when they shouted, especially when they saw the one who was lagging behind When they were on the boat, the two brothers looked like they wanted to jump off, grab the oars, and row by themselves.

In the end, amidst the cheers of the common people, Dragon Boat No. 50 reached the finish line first and won the lottery given by the county magistrate—[-] taels of silver.

After watching the dragon boat race, the crowd on the shore gradually dispersed, and Lin Xiaoqiao quickly dragged Mrs. Li and the others back home.

After returning home, the first thing she did was to take a shower and change clothes before going out, especially in today's scene, they were already sweating profusely.

After taking a bath, everyone sat in the main room, Lin Xiaoqiao still felt very stuffy, not only her, Da Lang Erlang also just took a bath, but his clothes were drenched with sweat again.

"This damn weather, it's unbearably hot and stuffy. It looks like it's going to rain!" Mrs. Li took a cattail fan and fanned the four brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so hot in May! Why don't you go and buy some ice and bring it back in the house, it will be much cooler!" Widow Zheng kept fanning her silk handkerchief lightly, listening After listening to Li Shi's words, he responded like this.

Lin Xiaoqiao was so hot that he felt uncomfortable, and when he heard what Widow Zheng said, he agreed, "Yes, let's go and buy some ice and put it away. It's only May and it's so hot, and there are still two more days left." It's been a hot month."

"Success! Let your father go for a visit. It just so happens that there is a ready-made cellar in this house, and you can buy it and put it in the cellar!" Mrs. Li took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Lin Erniu.

Lin Erniu took the money and went out, about a quarter of an hour later, he came back empty-handed.

"My son's father, what's the matter? Didn't he let you buy ice? Why did you come back empty-handed?" Like everyone else, Mrs. Li expressed doubts.

Lin Erniu stepped into the door, took the fan in Li's hand and slapped it fiercely a few times, and then said: "The ice is too expensive, you can buy two buckets of ice for ten taels of silver, how long will it last?" Time, I thought it was too expensive so I didn’t buy it!”

"That's right, I forgot to mention that the price of this ice is indeed quite expensive, and the average commoner family can hardly afford it." Widow Zheng added something after hearing Lin Erniu's words.

After Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, he thought about it again. This place is not like the refrigerator in the 21st century in his previous life. The ice cubes are all stored in the cellar and kept from winter to the present, so it is understandable that the price is more expensive. of.

Looking at the situation, their family would have to spend a lot of money to buy ice. With their current financial situation, they haven't reached the point where they can afford that kind of luxury, not to mention that her parents are still thrifty. I'm used to it, I guess I won't be willing to give it up.

Since she can't afford it, she can do it by herself. Almost everyone in her previous life knew how to make ice. In the high school chemistry experiment class, she also did an ice-making experiment by hand.

Lin Xiaoqiao felt that this was not a difficult task at all. Seeing everyone's sighs and disappointments, she said loudly: "Our family can have ice without spending money!"

"It doesn't cost money, is it to rob it?" Erlang raised his eyebrows and said in complete disbelief after hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's words.

Seeing everyone's indifferent expressions, Lin Xiaoqiao grinned more and more, and said in his heart, "Little boy, I'll show you how powerful this girl is later."

Lin Xiaoqiao cleared his throat and continued, "I read an ice-making method from an ancient book. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"What way? It's a hot day, how can I make ice?" Mrs. Li also looked incredulous.

Lin Xiaoqiao decided to ignore their eyes for the time being, and said to Lin Erniu, "Father, can you buy some saltpeter powder at the pharmacy now?"

Lin Erniu actually didn't believe Lin Xiaoqiao's words, but since his daughter asked him to buy saltpeter powder, which is relatively common and not expensive, he nodded and went out to buy it with doubts.

There was a pharmacy on the street where they lived, so Lin Erniu came back with a large bag of saltpeter powder after going out for a while.

Lin Xiaoqiao took the saltpeter powder and led everyone to the kitchen: "If any of you don't believe it, just follow along and have a look!"

After she finished speaking, everyone stood up and followed her to the kitchen to find out. In other words, no one present believed what Lin Xiaoqiao said before.

When they came to the kitchen, Lin Xiaoqiao first filled some water in the copper basin they used to wash their faces, then took a big soup bowl, filled the bowl with water, and put it in the middle of the copper basin.

Seeing her behavior like this, everyone thought it was very weird, and Da Lang was also baffled by it, but he didn't think that his little sister was playing tricks on them, so he asked, "Sister, do you have any questions?" Are you sure?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao put his index finger to his lips, pretending to be mysterious and said to everyone: "Shh - don't talk, just look at the bowl of water carefully, the time to witness the miracle is coming !"

After she finished speaking, she slowly put some saltpeter powder into the washbasin, and there is no measuring cup here, so she just put it roughly based on her own feeling.

After the saltpeter powder was put down, Lin Xiaoqiao was the first to move closer to the water basin, and the rest of the people saw her serious expression, so they also moved to the front one after another.

After a few seconds passed, the water in the soup bowl placed in the middle of the basin really froze. After witnessing such a miraculous scene, Lin Xiaoqiao smiled proudly at the big guy laugh.

"Wow! It's really frozen! Little girl, why are you so powerful! Did I read it wrong!" Erlang said loudly, jumping his feet, and touched the place with his finger after speaking. The bowl of ice cubes is sure to be ice, so I believe it.

"That's right! That's right! Does Xiaoqiao girl know how to transform into a fairy? Why did she turn into ice so easily!" After reading it, Li also found it incredible, and said with emotion.

Even Widow Zheng, who has always been calm and calm, had no choice but to sigh: "This is too amazing!"

Lin Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Now you believe it! From now on, our family won't need to spend money, and we can have ice for use!"
