With someone taking the lead, there were also several other curious students who also came forward to respond. However, more students just took it as a joke and just watched the fun. As a result, there were three more people waiting to go to his house with Xu Qixian. Xia Hongsheng pursed his lips secretly, cut, these cowards didn't dare to come when they heard that they were going to gamble for money, and they didn't have any curiosity at all!

The group left the academy, and Xia Hongsheng pulled Liu Qinglai, the little servant of Xu Qixian's family, and whispered a few words to him. The little guy nodded, and looked at Xu Qixian again, Xu Qixian had already seen Xia Hongsheng talking to Liu Qing, and he didn't know what he said, but seeing Liu Qing's inquiring eyes, he nodded, anyway, it was Senior Brother Xia's orders, and it was no different from his own orders. Liu Qing got the young master's approval, so he gave Xia Hongsheng a salute, and then turned around and ran away.

A few other people, talking and laughing along the way, walked to Xu's mansion, Xia Hongsheng saw that these people were really coming, while slandering these people that they were really idle, and at the same time snickering that the money to buy saltpeter at home was gone, and they didn't have to spend their own money anymore.

The night before, the sister-in-law who came back from the fang market had already begun to have a headache, saying that it was originally a scallion pancake and those pasta soups, and they could still put it down, but there was more mutton soup and braised pork, and they couldn't cook so much raw meat at one time, and the cooked meat that couldn't be sold out, and the bones of the soup, the weather was getting hotter, I was afraid I couldn't let it go, once it couldn't be sold, it would be broken, and it was really a crime. My sister-in-law couldn't eat dinner because of this problem, and she didn't want Xia Hongsheng to worry about it, but Xia Hongsheng saw that she was worried and asked it. Xia Hongsheng laughed when he heard it, it would be good to have a freezer at this time, there is no refrigerator now, and it is possible to make one by yourself! As long as there is ice, it will do. Xia Hongsheng comforted his sister-in-law with a smile, saying that he could easily solve this problem, and he could also let his sister-in-law's stall have a few more good things to cool off on a hot day.

The method that Xia Hongsheng thought of was naturally the soil method of using saltpeter to make ice, which was the modern era of later generations, and in some remote rural areas, there were still people who would use this soil method to make ice in summer. Xia Hongsheng didn't know at first, but later he still read the novel, those protagonists who crossed would use saltpeter to make ice, once when he talked to the old man in the village next to the school, he stopped the old man and said that it was true, and he also demonstrated it to Xia Hongsheng on a whim, so that Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients.

What Liu Qing was instructed just now was to ask him to go to the Fang Market in advance to buy the "wall cream", that is, saltpeter.

It didn't take long for a few people to arrive at Xu Qixian's house, and one kind of person went to visit Xu Qixian's father first, which is a courtesy and cannot be lost. Hearing about their bet, Xu Qixian's father and his uncle also felt novel, so they wanted to go to see it together, Xia Hongsheng was naturally happy to lead the way, and Xu Hui firmly believed that Xia Hongsheng was bragging, so he was also happy to let Xia Hongsheng, who his father and uncle praised all day long, eat deflated, so he happily led the way in front.

Everyone came to the location where the evaporative water dispenser was buried yesterday, and the lotus leaf was still there.

"Hehe, it is said that it is difficult to collect the water, and once the water is splashed out and enters the soil, it will never be recovered. Today, I, Xia Hongsheng, don't believe in this evil, just to take back the water that was spilled. Witness, everybody, and then it's time to witness the miracle...... Ahem! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly closed his mouth, damn, he was used to bragging in the later life, and this sentence ran out of his mouth.

Everyone stared at Xia Hongsheng tightly, for fear that he would do something in the middle, but they saw Xia Hongsheng roll up his sleeves, and there were words in his mouth, and when he listened carefully, it was: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, and the water comes!" ”

After saying that, he pointed into a sword, poked it in the air, then clapped his hands, squatted down and brushed away the dust that pressed the lotus leaf, and then gently uncovered the lotus leaf. Everyone hurried forward, and immediately saw a pit under the lotus leaf, and a big bowl was placed in the pit, and in that bowl, it was really a bowl of clear water!

Everyone was shocked, but they saw Xia Hongsheng take out the bowl from the pit with a smile, put it to his mouth and sucked it in: "Haha, well, it's sweet and delicious, like drinking sweet water!" Would you like to taste it? ”

"Oh my God! ……”

In an instant, everyone present broke out, as if water was suddenly poured into the hot oil, and Xu Hui's little face suddenly turned pale as if it had just been brushed with a layer of lime, and the originally watery eyes became dull at the moment. Not to mention the maids beside her, her lips trembled, and she pointed at Xia Hongsheng and trembled for a long time before she suddenly held back two words: "Demon, monster!" Xu Qixian and the students all reacted the same, their hands were trembling, their mouths were wide open, and their eyes looking at Xia Hongsheng were incredible, surprised, and full of indescribable fanaticism. The whole corridor was in a mess, a group of people were screaming, some people were crying and laughing, some people couldn't believe wiping their eyes, some people were stunned and drooling, damn it, and two of them had already knelt down and started kowtowing? Infiltrate people, not infiltrate people! The two who were shouting for apprenticeship quickly stopped, they were college students, and they were a bit of a scholar, okay?!

"This ...... This is really ......" Xu Qixian's father and uncle looked at each other, incredulous, speechless. Fang Cai had already heard Xu Hui say, he poured a basin of water there yesterday, and then Xia Hongsheng dug a pit there and put an empty bowl in it, and today the bowl is really full of a bowl of water, could it be that there is really any immortal method? !

Xia Hongsheng handed the bowl in his hand to Xu Qixian, Xu Qixian took the bowl, looked at the water in the bowl, drank it like Xia Hongsheng, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's really clear water!" ”

"Little girl, how's it going?" Xia Hongsheng shook off the folding fan, walked in front of Xu Hui and said with a smile.

"Humph! You...... You, you must have done something, did you come back and pour water into the bowl later?! The little girl couldn't believe what was in front of her.

Xia Hongsheng smiled dumbly and rolled his eyes: "Hey, do you believe it yourself?" ”

The little girl bit her lip, rolled her eyes, and said, "Hmph, what about the ice from the soil?" If you can make ice out of the earth, I'll be convinced! ”

Xia Hongsheng knew that this cunning little girl who belonged to a fox would repay the debt, snorted, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, snapped the folding fan, and shouted: "Liu Qing! Liu Qing, come here! ”

"Hey! The little ones are coming! "That little guy is also crazy, seeing so many people watching here at this moment, he immediately responded very loudly from behind, and ran over from the crowd with a big cloth bag on his back, and put the unbrought in front of Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng untied the cloth bag and looked at it, reached out and pulled it a few times to probe down, and then nodded with satisfaction, and said to Liu Qing that it was hard work.

"Look, everybody, it's dirt, right?" Xia Hongsheng deliberately stretched out the cloth bag and let the people around him take a look, everyone nodded, and one of the students reached in and grabbed a handful, and it was really an ordinary soil.

"Bring me two copper basins, one is as big as possible, and the other is ordinary." Xia Hongsheng looked left and right, and then politely said to the maid next to him. "Go!" Xu Qixian's father was curiously tight, and hurriedly urged. The two maids immediately flew out, and in a short time they dragged two copper basins, one of which was very large, and the other was just an ordinary copper basin, much smaller.

Xia Hongsheng commanded to fill the two copper basins with water, and the students were still worried about what Xia Hongsheng was doing, so they personally scooped up the two copper basins with water and placed them in front of Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng picked up the smaller copper basin and put it into the large copper basin, and then scooped out some of the water in the large copper basin. "Look!" Xia Hongsheng said to the people around him, then lifted the cloth bag, dipped the mouth of the cloth bag into the water, and then let go of his hand and poured all the soil in the cloth bag into the big copper basin outside.

Suddenly, the water in the big copper basin outside suddenly reacted violently, and for a while it seemed to be boiling, the water splashed, and from time to time there was a terrifying explosion sound coming out of the water. Xia Hongsheng pressed the edge of the small copper basin above with his hand, keeping the small copper basin stable and preventing the water inside from turning out. After a long time, when the water surface was stable, Xia Hongsheng let go of his hand and let the copper basin float on the water surface in the large basin.

After a while, under the gaze of the surrounding people, white ice patterns began to appear on the water surface of the large basin, and after waiting for a while, the water surface of the large basin was covered with white ice patterns, and then looked at the small copper basin floating in the middle, and the water in it began to gradually form a clear piece.

Xu Qixian looked down left and right, and then carefully touched his hand into the small copper basin, and immediately gasped: "This ...... It's really ice! How did you do that? In such a hot weather, it is ...... The water in the copper basin was frozen by you out of thin air! If it weren't for my brother's own eyes, this would ...... This, who will believe this?! ”

If everyone was still screaming when they saw Xia Hongsheng really take back the water that was spilled just now, then they would have watched Xia Hongsheng pour a bag of soil into the big basin at this moment, and the water would freeze, and the people around him couldn't even scream at this time, only knowing that they were stunned and opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't make a sound.

"I am willing to lose the bet, and please bring the money of several people tomorrow, and the little brother is here to thank you for your generosity!" Xia Hongsheng smiled and said to the students who were like mourning exams, and then took out the small copper basin, turned to Xu Hui, who was already dumbfounded, and said very arrogantly: "Little girl, go find some fruits, this son will make you a smoothie to eat, haha!" ”
