Xiang Xinjin asked Yu Yuanhang and Xiang Xinbai to each dig an ice cave.

It's easy to deal with slippery surfaces on ice and snow, but the hard one is breaking the ice.

Xiang Ci knows that salt can melt snow, but here, salt, a necessity, is not used for this kind of thing.

And even if they took out all the salt they had hoarded, they still wouldn't be able to melt the ice cubes they needed.

So this method won't work.

The second method is to burn a fire above the ice cubes and use the temperature to melt the ice cubes.

But when they travel, it is impossible for them to carry firewood on their backs, and it is impossible to light a fire in the wild.

As for using hot water, you need more hot water than ice to melt the ice.

When they go to the wild, whether it is to light a fire or boil hot water, it is all a fantasy and impossible to realize.

The only safe way is to smash the ice honestly and dig out an ice hole for experiment.

In fact, if there was no freezing frost, no matter how heavy the snow was, they wouldn't have to do this.

But there is frost that freezes people to death. If they don't protect themselves, they might turn into ice sculptures.

Instead of looking for firewood, everyone would stay at home, and the end result would be to freeze to death together.

Maybe a bloody fight would break out before he froze to death.

No one wants to see the bloody scene, so they can only take the simplest route to solve the problem.

Finding firewood is now the easiest way.

The hoe, a farm tool that is very good for hoeing, is not practical here because it will break the hoe.

The shovel is not practical. If you really shovel, the shovel handle will slip in your hand and hit your stomach.

Excluding these two farm tools and using an ax will not work.

Xiang Xinjin thought for a while, found a pickaxe, and smashed it on the ice.

The ice block was smashed open, and a hole was soon dug out.

Even if a hole is dug, it cannot be dug with other farm tools and must be smashed with a pickaxe.

Otherwise, the farm tool will collapse.

Seeing this, Xiang Xinbai ran to borrow three pickaxes.

Xiang Xinjin said to Xiang Wan: "Sister, please write down the time."

Xiang Wan responded well.

Xiang Xinjin said to Ye Kai and the others: "Now let's dig again, as fast as we can, and see how long it takes."

Ye Kai, Xiang Xinbai, Yu Yuanhang, all nodded.

"start."

The four people quickly targeted the circled area and smashed it with pickaxes.

He smashed hard until he made an ice hole big enough for an adult, and then he stopped.

Xiang Wan said: "Two quarters of an hour."

Xiang Xinjin nodded slightly: "It's a little faster than I thought. But this ice cave is too small."

"I still need to practice my skills. I need at least two such ice caves."

The four of them smashed hard again, and it took more than half an hour to create an ice hole that the four of them could enter.

Xiang Xinjin was still not satisfied, so the four of them smashed him again.

While they were breaking the ice, Xiang Ling tried to light a firewood pile on the ice.

Xiang Xinjin said: "You can light the firewood you bring from home, but when you go outside, how can you burn it without firewood?"

"Have you thought about it?"

Xiang Ci quickly said: "Bring oil and wool to make these flammable products."

Oil was discovered as early as 1,800 years ago. It was first called fat water and later called oil.

Xiang Xinjin asked her: "Do you have oil?"

Xiang Ci was stunned: "Don't we have oil?"

She doesn't know.

Xiang Xinjin shook his head: "We don't have oil here, so this method won't work."

"Those tanned leathers, in this weather, unless it is absolutely necessary, we will not waste warm leathers, but defective ones are acceptable."

Xiang Ci was upset, there was no oil and no leather, so what could be done.

Seeing Xiang Ci frown, Ye Kai lowered his head slightly and said softly: "We have rosin in every house here."

It makes sense to rely on the mountain and eat the mountain. Not everyone can afford an oil lamp, so they use turpentine.

Every household collects them to light fires or make torches.

Xiang Ci suddenly realized: "I forgot."

She was only thinking about oil and leather, not the rosin.

Xiang Xinjin would not blame Xiang Ci for not thinking of this. He continued: "It is not enough to burn pine resin alone. It must be burned with leather soaked in pine oil, so that the temperature will be effective."

Everyone nodded, indeed, this method is feasible.

Xiang Xinjin stopped talking and pointed to the two dug ice holes and said: "The frost will come again in a while. Now prepare the pine resin and pine tarpaulin, and then use rabbits to do experiments."

Everyone naturally listens to Xiang Xinjin.

Xiang Xinjin said nothing and got up and went back to the house, while Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai continued to clear the snow.

Yu Yuanhang hesitated. He didn't want to leave, but he couldn't stay shamelessly.

After hesitation, he was ready to leave and come back when their experiment was completed.

"We're going on a long voyage." Mr. Xiang came over with his hands behind his back, "Let's have dinner at home at noon so that you don't have to run back and forth."

Yu Yuanhang was visibly happy, and his tone was vibrating with joy: "Okay, Xiang Lizheng."

His heart was already screaming and flying, but in order to let Grandpa Xiang see his stability and maturity, he suppressed his happiness and responded.

But anyone could see that he was happy.

Mr. Xiang saw it, but pretended not to see it and walked into the village.

Yu Yuanhang secretly looked at Miss Xiang Si, then quickly retracted his head and lowered his head. He was so shy that he didn't know how to deal with everything in front of him.

This sudden beauty was so unexpected that he had to slow down.

Xiang Ci covered his forehead. This silly boy was really blessed. Grandpa allowed him to eat, which was because he was very satisfied with him.

She looked at Xiang Wan who was smiling brightly, tugged on Xiang Ling's sleeves, raised her eyebrows and nodded in Xiang Wan's direction.

Xiang Ling understood at a glance what Xiang Ci was referring to, glanced at Yu Yuanhang, and said nothing.

Xiang Ci pouted: "Stingy guy, drink cold water."

Xiang Ling didn't bother to correct her and just let her talk.

How could she be stingy? She just let them develop on their own without getting involved. How could she become a stingy person?

If that's the case, then she'll just be that cheapskate.

Xiang Wan raised her feet and followed Xiang Ling into the house. Xiang Ci walked to Yu Yuanhang and pointed to Xiang Xinbai: "If you have nothing to do, you can go over there and help clear the snow."

Yu Yuanhang, who was elated and flushed, nodded repeatedly and said yes when he heard this.

The way he is now, it is really not suitable for him to enter the greenhouse in the main room. It would be best to stay here and help clear the snow.

As Xiang Ci walked, she looked back at Yu Yuanhang, who had already joined Third Brother and Kaikai's team.

Yu Yuanhang and the fourth sister should be a couple in the future, what about the fifth sister.

The fifth sister has such a cold temperament, what kind of person can warm her heart.

Xiang Ci sighed secretly and patted his head.

I can't even understand my own life, and I still want to lead others, and I am so busy.

With Liuya's accident, it was unclear whether she and her family would survive, and she was actually worried about her marriage.

It’s also far enough to worry about.

Xiang Ci did not enter the main room's greenhouse, but came to the kitchen to help her mother wash vegetables.

She is not afraid of the cold. She has no problem drinking ice water and washing vegetables in cold water.

See, her skills are not wasted here.

Bang, bang, bang!
