The Defeated Dragon

When nitrite is dissolved in water, it absorbs a lot of heat, which is how nitrite ice is made. Thanks to his previous experience with novels, Lester knows a lot of similar common sense.

And he knows that nitrous stones can be reused.

“Nitrite is a magical substance that can dissolve in water and then make it very cold until it freezes.” Lester commanded the butler to pour the white powder into the basin.

Then you see the powder melting.

Tom sticks his finger in the water and shouts in surprise: "My lord, the water is really getting cold. It's so cold! ”

Gorte squeezed Tom away, curious and hesitant, and eventually reached his finger in: “It's really much cooler than before, Lester. Is this a magician's tool? I've seen a magician who's good at ice magic, who always makes a lot of money in the summer. ”

However, after a moment of silence, the water only cooled down and was not frozen.

“Lister, how come it hasn't turned into ice? ”

“Teacher Gaultai, nitrous ice making is not enough, just to prove that they are nitrous now.” Lester smiled lightly, "so, while the crushed stones were being collected, sent into the castle, don't miss a thing. ”

“Well, I look forward to the moment when you make ice, and there's ice in the summer, and that's what the aristocrats deserve. ”

Tomorrow is the Sea Festival and the castle will host a banquet.

Night.

Looking at the nitrous powder collected over the course of the day, there was enough weight for a barrel, and Lester was very excited to direct the servants to start making real nitrous ice.

Nitrite dissolves in water, absorbs heat and turns water into ice.

But the ice water that directly melts the nitrous stone is toxic, so a tank and a copper basin with better thermal conductivity need to be prepared. Place the water in the cylinder and the copper basin in the water, then place the copper basin in the cylinder. Pour the nitrous stone into the cylinder water, wait to dissolve the heat absorption and turn the water into ice.

The heat absorption effect of dissolution is super strong due to the amount of nitrous powder prepared.

Within a few minutes, the water in the cylinder slowly condenses, and after half an hour, even the water in the copper basin begins to freeze.

“It's freezing! ”

“It's really freezing! ”

“Wonderful scene, this is the legendary alchemist's means! ”

Marcus, Golthey, Isaiah, Blair, all around, were amazed. In their impression, only in winter can ice be found, and nobility can enjoy the refreshments of ice in summer by building ice cellars. But the ice cellar is a luxury, and a rich lord can organize a huge ice squad in the winter to dig ice from rivers and lakes.

Rugged aristocrats like Gaultai can only taste it in Tulip Castle every year with a few blocks of ice.

Marcus, Blair, Isaiah are not even eligible to taste Chapin.

Lester was just as excited to hear about nitrous ice making, but it was the first time he'd done it. It is shocking to see water turn into ice with your own eyes.

“Sir, it's freezing.” Thomas surrounded the large cylinder, his eyes glowing.

“Take the ice.” Lister nodded, holding a noble smile on his face, waves not frightened, temperament, "cut the ice into tiny pieces, and every gentleman and lady gets a tiny piece of ice tonight. ”

Carter whispered, "Sir, the ice is too expensive, so the servants don't need it, right? ”

“It doesn't matter, Mr. Carter, just do as I say. ”

“Yes, sir, your generosity, and I extend my most sincere respects to you on behalf of all your servants.” Carter was indeed fortunate to bow and meet a generous noble lord.

After that, he commanded Thomas to enter the kitchen with the bronze pot of ice and begin cutting.

Lester called Tom again: "Save this tank of ice water, and when the sun comes out tomorrow, take it out to sunbathe, don't waste a drop. ”

Gaultai couldn't figure it out: "Lister, what's the point? Just use the ice. Why are you tanning them? ”

“The nitrite melts the condensed ice directly. Of course it works, but it can't be eaten. Dry them out, turn them into nitrous stones, and use them repeatedly to make ice. ”

“Is Nite so amazing? ”

“It's much more amazing than you think.” Lester's mind thinks - if he finds sulfur, now he dares to configure black gunpowder.

Black powder may not be strictly explosive compared to yellow powder, but it is still highly explosive, flammable and explosive. Suitable for making dirt bombs, at least not less powerful than the magic released by low-level warcraft. Used in low-level combat, it still works unexpectedly.

Of course, in a world of dragons, elves, and magic, black powder has little decisive advantage.

Dinner dishes are not very rich, and Lester cannot afford to entertain Gaultai and others every day. The castle's supplies are his personal guarantee of luxury.

Poor drinks, too, are sour beer without beer and flowers.

But the banquet had a high vibe, because everyone had a few pieces of ice in their cups. The ice melts, making the whole beer cold, sipping a sip, and the whole person is instantly cool and bright, absolutely the best way to enjoy it in this increasingly hot weather.

“Lester, I propose, for a cold beer, cheers!” Gaultamese lifted the cup.

Lister took the cup and responded, "Cheers for the cold beer. ”

“Cheers! ”

Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock.

……

Kitchen.

Dining table.

Irene used a spoon to constantly honk the ice from the plate and make a noisy noise.

Abby Soup couldn't help but scold: "Irene, stop making loud noises, the ice the master gave you, don't eat it! ”

“I'd rather watch it melt than eat ice, Mrs. Abby, don't you think the temperature in the kitchen is dropping today?” Eileen Four fingers keeps rocking the ice and looks at Lily Bath in the next seat and touches, "Little Lily, do you feel that? ”

“Of course, each of us has ice on his plate.” Little Lily stretched out her tongue and licked the ice from the spoon, and she couldn't help but eat it.

Ice cubes don't have any flavor, but it's cool and feels very comfortable, making the whole person's dry heat go away.

Abby said angrily, "Little Lily, I won't allow you to talk to Irene at dinner. Your clumsiness and rudeness will only disgrace the kitchen! ”

“cough cough. ”

Housekeeper Carter bites the ice in his mouth hard, he's in his fifties, but his teeth are still good: "Mrs. Abby, they're just kids, so let them be a little rude at dinner. ”

“Mr. Carter, I'm not ignoring your orders, but you shouldn't tolerate them, they'll be lawless. Clumsy enough to disappoint, if they can't even learn a little manners, they will stay in the kitchen for the rest of their lives and not be maids upstairs.” Abby, seriously.

Carter and Morson looked at each other, and they all knew that Abby was a nice, hard-hearted man.

But Eileen was obviously uncomfortable: “Mrs. Abby, I don't want to go upstairs. It's uncomfortable upstairs. You have to be careful not to leave a footprint. I'll be a cook later, and I love working in the kitchen. ”

“You can die of this heart!” Blew up in Abidon, “you'll never be a cook without me in the kitchen, little girl. Remember, don't offend me! ”

“But you're gonna get old one day. ”

“Even if I get old enough to do it one day, it's still me, you have to listen to me! ”
