371 Big Pot

“Thank you so much.” Xue Sifu was extremely grateful.

Xue Yan cupped his hands and saluted him.

“Thank you,” Jiang Yue replied.

“What are you thanking me for? I’ll be waiting for your ice cream. I still have a patient waiting for me, so I have to go back.” After he finished speaking, Doctor Shen entered the place and went to the room in the front that was used for consultation.

Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and Xue Sifu were still in the backyard.

Xue Sifu quickly unloaded everything from the ox cart and placed them in the backyard of the Shen Medicinal Hall. Then, he placed the two sacks of saltpeter onto the ox cart.

When they got on the ox cart, Xue Sifu opened the sack and looked at it with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.

Doctor Shen had already filtered and dried the saltpeter crystals for their family. They could be used directly when they were brought back. This matter was really all thanks to Doctor Shen.

They came out of the backyard of the clinic, Xue Sifu let Jiang Yue and Xue Yan get on the ox cart first, then he got on.

When he passed by a scale shop, he stopped his cart and went to buy a big and small scale as he had previously said.

After they bought the scale and walked out of the shop, Xue Sifu said, “Let’s go and buy another big pot.” As he spoke, he lowered his voice. “If the ice is successfully made, a large pot is needed to boil the saltpeter, and the saltpeter can be retrieved and reused faster. If it’s not successful, there’s still a need for this big pot. We’ll be making more and more rice noodles in the future, so we’ll definitely need a pot. This pot won’t be wasted no matter what.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no objections.

So, he went to buy a very big pot. It was twice the size of the big pot on the stove at home.

After they bought the pot, Jiang Yue said, “Then I’ll just buy a few kilograms of glutinous rice flour. And white sugar.”

“Why are you buying glutinous rice flour and white sugar?” Xue Sifu asked.

Xue Yan also looked at Jiang Yue in confusion.

“I’m thinking of using the bamboo tube to make ice that you can eat in your hand,” Jiang Yue said. “It might come in handy. ”

Jiang Yue was thinking about food again. He still had a lot of trust in Jiang Yue’s ability to think about food. His Jiang Yue was just like her mother, they both had talent in this area. Xue Sifu immediately agreed, “Alright, let’s go buy glutinous rice flour and white sugar! If you can’t make it, I’m sure they have a use for glutinous rice flour and white sugar at home.”

After that, she went to buy three kilograms of glutinous rice flour and some white sugar.

Then, they left the town and went home.

At home, because the stone mill was automatic, it didn’t take long for the early rice soaked by Li Hehua and Liu Guixia to be ground into powder. In less than a few hours Li Hehua and Liu Guixia had also finished making the rice noodles, which were all being dried on the bamboo poles in the courtyard.

The early rice soaked today was the white rice grains that were extracted from last year’s reward that had been brought to the water workshop.

Now, not only was the cost reduced, but it was also much easier for people to do other things. The efficiency of the village had also greatly improved.

Now, even if Li Hehua and Liu Guixia were the only ones making the rice noodles, they could sell as much as they did in several days when the business was booming.

Li Hehua and the others were very happy.

Everything else in the workshop had been set up, except for the fence. Xue Dafu, Xue Erfu, Xue Sanfu, and Xue Wufu were all helping with the wall. It would probably be finished by tomorrow, and the gate would be installed.

Xue Yifu made another wooden pot at home. He had already made four wooden pots — two big ones and two small ones. He felt that even if they could not make ice, this wooden pot could still be used at home.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Li Hehua cleaned the four wooden pots and placed them together with Jiang Yue’s bamboo tubes and thin sticks.
