Zhu Biao couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. If Han Du hadn't stopped him just now, he wouldn't have known how to go back and explain to his father.
He was extremely lucky to grab Tao Chengdao's hand and solemnly told him: "Wanhu must never do such a dangerous thing again in the future. If you make a mistake, how will I explain it to my father?"
Tao Chengdao looked blankly at the fallen sheep and the flying car fragments scattered on the ground. He was so preoccupied with the scene of the flying car flying into the sky and then exploding that he didn't notice Zhu Biao in front of him at all. He murmured He said to himself: "How could this happen...how could this happen?"
Seeing that Tao Chengdao was full of disappointment and had no reaction, Zhu Biao turned around and raised his finger to point at the people next to him and warned: "You and others, keep an eye on your master. If there is a problem, I will ask you alone."
When Han Du heard this, he turned around and glanced at a few people. They turned out to be apprentices. Just now he thought they were Tao Chengdao's servants.
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, several people quickly made a promise: "Your Highness, put down, I will not let the master put himself in danger again." They were also frightened by the explosion scene just now, how could they dare to let the master again? Do something like this? They and Tao Chengdao are as close as father and son, and they have a deep relationship. They will definitely keep an eye on him in the future and not let him do anything wrong again.
Zhu Biao nodded, feeling relieved with these people watching him.
Unlike everyone else who was worried, Han Du was interested in the big fat sheep. He walked forward, took a look, and shouted, "Here comes someone."
A disciple of Tao Chengdao hurriedly stepped forward and asked Han Du politely, "What are your orders, Lord Marquis?" Han Du showed kindness to their master in saving the people, and they, as disciples, must also remember this kindness. Therefore, here He had an excellent attitude towards Han Du, and the smile on his face never stopped.
After kicking the fat sheep, Han Du couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and ordered: "It's rare to see such a top-quality fat sheep. Quickly find someone to wash and skin it clean, bring the barbecue rack, and let's eat roasted sheep." "
"Master Marquis, wait a moment, I will make arrangements right away." This request was simply too simple for the Tao Mansion.
Ever since Handu invented the barbecue rack, it has been highly praised by dignitaries. Almost everyone has a barbecue rack in their house, and some even have more than one. In the past, barbecue was done by setting up a large bonfire and then hanging the sheep up and roasting the whole thing. Not only is it difficult to control the heat, it can be high or low at times, making it easy to get scorched or half-roasted, but the smoke from the campfire is very strong, which always destroys the aroma of the barbecue.
Therefore, in the past, grilling was a real skill.
But it's different after you have a barbecue rack. You can control the firepower at will. If the fire is low, add more. If the fire is high, just pick up the barbecue. As long as you pay a little attention, anyone can master the skill of grilling meat, and there is no chance of half-cooked grilling.
Therefore, many people like to do it themselves when eating barbecue, and Handu is one of them.
Two rich and powerful cooks came to the Tao Mansion. They were quick and skillful with knives. In a short time, they peeled off the skin of the whole fat sheep and cut it into pieces. Then start marinating. Since I was eating in a hurry, I started grilling it after it tasted a little bit.
Han Du sat aside and drank tea leisurely with Zhu Biao, watching that bad old man Tao Chengdao still wandering around the ground, looking for traces of his beloved speeding car.
Every time he found a piece of debris, he felt so distressed that he almost shed tears, as if it was not a speeding car at all, but his wife.
Tao Chengdao's apprentice quickly served the barbecue to Han Du.
Han Du was not polite at all, he greeted Zhu Biao casually, and then took a bunch of mutton in his hand. The freshly baked mutton skewers have tiny bubbles sizzling on top of the meat.
When you bite into it, it feels slightly hot, but it is precisely because of this slightly hot feeling and the aroma that fills your mouth that you can't stop eating it.
Han Du eliminated three strings in a row before stopping temporarily and having time to drink tea.
"How could this happen...how could this happen..." Tao Chengdao walked to Zhu Biao and sat down. Facing the fragrant roast mutton, he had no interest at all. He just kept talking in his mouth. Talking.
Han Du gave the old man a strange look, picked up a skewer of roast mutton and handed it to him, asking, "Would you like to eat it? It tastes good."
Tao Chengdao's face instantly became angry, he glared at Han Du angrily, and shouted: "Why do I want to eat barbecue now? Where can I eat it?"
Han Du was a little confused about how he got into trouble with such a bad old man, and said in confusion: "What's the use of getting angry at me? This is because you have a problem with your own thinking. What does it have to do with me?"
Passing the barbecue over again, "We are like iron rice and steel, and we will feel hungry if we don't eat for one meal. You have been working hard all morning, it's time to eat something."
But Han Du's kindness went to waste. Not only did the old man not appreciate it, he even turned his head to the side angrily.
Han Du looked at it, nodded boredly, and took his hand back. Since you think you are nosy, then just don't say anything and just eat the roast mutton with peace of mind.
Needless to say, this sheep is fat enough, and the roasted meat is fragrant, glutinous, and chewy. It is a rare product. Generally, sheep are too thin and will appear dry when roasted without enough fat.
If you don't want to eat, I can eat more. Han Du ate calmly, not caring that he was in Tao Cheng Tao Mansion.
Zhu Biao saw the reactions of both of them. After thinking for a moment, he put down the mutton in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then asked Han Du: "Gu is also very curious, why everything was fine at the beginning. Will it explode after flying into the sky?"
Zhu Biao clearly wanted to help Tao Chengdao, and Han Du naturally heard it. He snorted and glanced at Tao Chengdao. Although he was facing to one side, his ears were pricked, but Han Du didn't want to say anything.
He curled his lips and pretended not to hear Zhu Biao's words.
Seeing that verbal provocation had no effect, Zhu Biao raised his foot and kicked Han Du under the table. He glared at Han Du and signaled Han Du to speak quickly.
Han Du had no choice but to explain: "What else could be going on? Isn't it just that the gunpowder is too ferocious? If it fails, it will explode. It is normal for gunpowder to explode. If it doesn't explode, can it still be called gunpowder? "
When Tao Chengdao saw Han Du's teasing tone, his nose almost crooked in anger. The dissatisfied Chao Handu said: "Without learning or skills, who said gunpowder can only explode? Isn't the flying fire crow I made made of gunpowder? Can't it also fly into the sky?"
Han Du ignored Tao Chengdao's stubbornness, smiled and asked: "Even if your flying fire crow can fly, but then? Can it still fly down alone, or slowly fall down?"
Are you kidding me? Although Han Du didn't know what the flying fire crow that the bad old man was talking about was, even in his previous life Han Du had never heard of anyone who could use gunpowder to make rockets that could send people up. Even for rockets, the fuel used is not gunpowder.
Tao Chengdao's tone was stagnant when Han Du asked back, but by chance, Han Du got it right. Although his Flying Fire Crow can fly up, it won't be long before the gunpowder burns out and it will roll down and fall down.
However, Han Du looked like he wanted to be beaten in Tao Chengdao's eyes, which made him unwilling to admit defeat in front of Han Du. He sneered twice, glanced at Han Du, and said: "It's quite powerful to talk about it, even if my idea is wrong and I can't fly. Could it be that you can make people fly into the sky just by talking about it?"
Tao Chengdao is a person who is good at taking action but bad at arguing with others. Moreover, he also looked down on those who could only talk nonsense. In his opinion, there was no difference between such people and trash, and they were all useless.
Facing Tao Chengdao's provocation, Han Du smiled and said, "Feitian, it's not a big deal."
After saying that, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip with squinted eyes.
When Zhu Biao and Tao Chengdao heard this, they both looked at Han Du with their eyes wide open, their faces full of shock.
Especially Zhu Biao, he kindly reminded Han Du: "Don't talk nonsense. How many capable people have worked hard for thousands of years to fly into the sky, how can it be as easy as you say?"
"That's right, if flying to the sky is that simple, then I don't have to take the risk of relying on the huge power of the rocket to fly into the sky." Tao Chengdao and Zhu Biao stood on the same side and agreed.
At the same time, he was even more dissatisfied with Han Du's boastful remarks, thinking that Han Du was just talking nonsense.
Seeing that the two of them were so like-minded, Han Du smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe it?"
Zhu Biao frowned when he heard this and fell silent immediately. If someone else said this, he would definitely not believe it, but Han Du... He has seen Han Du make completely impossible things possible too many times. Therefore, I was not sure whether Han Du could do it.
Tao Chengdao didn't believe Han Du's words at all, so he thought he was bragging and said sternly: "If you can do it without gunpowder, I will accept you as my teacher!"
Han Du laughed when he heard this, waved his hands magnanimously, and said: "There is no need to become a disciple. I am afraid that your life will be shortened if you become my disciple at such an old age."
After a pause and seeing the two people looking at him with different expressions, Han Du continued: "Of course I don't know how to use gunpowder. This thing will only explode if used. But haven't you all seen the Kongming Lantern?" "
"Of course I've seen it before. Why are you talking about this?" Zhu Biao frowned, not understanding what Han Du meant.
Han Du spread his hands and said, "Can't the Kongming Lantern fly to the sky?"
"It is true that the Kongming Lantern can fly to the sky, but what does this have to do with people? Do you think that just relying on a Kongming Lantern can take people to the sky?" Tao Chengdao asked sternly as he became more and more unconvinced by Han Du's words.
To the surprise of both of them, Han Du nodded heavily with a smile on his face and said, "Of course."
"This is impossible!"
"Han Du, don't make such a joke."
The first sentence was said by Tao Chengdao with scorn, while the latter sentence was said by Zhu Biao to dissuade Han Du, lest he would be unable to step down.
Han Du ignored Zhu Biao, looked directly at Tao Chengdao and asked, "Let me ask you, how big are the general Kongming lanterns?"
"One foot square." Tao Chengdao replied subconsciously.
"How heavy is the oil lamp inside?" Han Du continued to ask.
Tao Chengdao frowned, sensing something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what Han Du wanted to say. He had to look up at Han Du and solemnly replied: "About two taels."
"How much does that person weigh?" Han Du asked with a smile.
"A hundred pounds."
Han Du was very satisfied with Tao Chengdao's reply. He gestured with his hands and said: "Since a one-foot-square Kongming lantern can carry two or two heavy oil lamps to the sky. So as long as we make the Kongming lantern bigger, don't you know? Can you take people to heaven?"
"You think, isn't this very simple? What's so difficult about it?"
"But...you..." After hearing this, Tao Chengdao wanted to find something to refute Han Du, but he couldn't find it. He was extremely confused for a moment.
Finally, he even cursed and shouted: "How come no one has thought of such a simple thing for thousands of years?"
Seeing Tao Chengdao's expression changed drastically, Zhu Biao asked tentatively with a strange expression: "Wanhu, no, Han Du's method really has hope of making people fly?"
"There is hope!" Tao Chengdao nodded heavily and had to admit, "Not only is there hope, but the possibility of success is very high. How did your head grow?"
Han Du smiled and did not answer. Didn't he look down on himself just now? He also deliberately turned his head to one side, not bothering to talk to himself. Han Du now responded in kind, deliberately tilting his head to one side and completely ignoring Tao Chengdao's questions.
Seeing that Han Du was getting angry with Tao Chengdao, Zhu Biao quickly interjected to smooth things over and said, "Wanhu, don't argue with him, that's what he is. But he is really smart and can think about things that ordinary people don't think about and think about things that ordinary people don't think about."
Tao Chengdao smiled lightly and shook his head at Zhu Biao. How could he care about Han Du? It's too late for him to beg Han Du now.
"I don't know how many people I see setting off Kongming lanterns every year, but every year I see them in vain. I never thought about having anything to do with flying. Not only me, but those who have determined to fly to the sky for thousands of years are all smart. , including me, it is the same, the ready-made example is right in front of you, but you turn a blind eye." Tao Chengdao sighed more and more as he spoke, and in the end it turned into a long sigh. If Zhu Biao and Han Du weren't here, he really wanted to slap his old face.
He deeply doubted, how did he live in the previous decades? He couldn't even figure out such a simple thing.
Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly, comforted Tao Chengdao and himself, and said: "Wanhu said this too much, let alone Wanhu. Countless people have seen the Kongming Lanterns over the years, but who would be like this?" Like Han Du, do you want to fly to the sky?"
Han Du was completely addicted and his vanity was satisfied, and then he said slowly: "This method is definitely possible, but it is not that simple to really make people fly."
"You tell me, I am all ears. As long as your method can fly, I will worship you as my teacher, and you will do what you say." Tao Chengdao no longer had the arrogance he had just now, and instead acted humbly like a student in front of Han Du.
Han Du waved his hands quickly and said, "Sir, you are serious. It was just a joke of mine. How could you take it seriously?"
"No, no, no, how can you be dishonest in your words? Don't worry, I will keep my word." Tao Chengdao was very stubborn and insisted on worshiping Han Du as his teacher.
Han Du shook his head when he saw it and said, "If the old gentleman insists on doing this, then I won't say anything. You can think about it yourself."
How could Han Du dare to ask Tao Chengdao to worship him as his master? It seems that he is not much younger than Lao Zhu, and he is so valued by Lao Zhu. Maybe the two people have a close relationship, even if they are equals.
If Lao Zhu really had an acquaintance with Tao Chengdao, but he became Tao Chengdao's master... Well... wouldn't this be taking advantage of Lao Zhu? If Lao Zhu finds out, he may break his legs.
For the sake of his legs, Han Du was determined not to let Tao Chengdao worship him as his teacher.
Zhu Biao also knew that it was outrageous to have Han Du as his disciple at Tao Chengdao's age, so he intervened and persuaded Tao Chengdao to give up the idea.
Han Du then continued: "If you want to fly into the sky, you have to find a way to make the Kongming Lantern bigger. The bigger the lantern, the greater the power it generates, and naturally it can carry more weight to fly into the sky. And other things, including people Inside, it should be as light as possible."
Tao Chengdao nodded repeatedly, indicating that he remembered.
Han Du continued: "More importantly, such a huge Kongming Lantern cannot be made of paper. The paper is too fragile and may not be able to bear the weight of a person."
Tao Chengdao nodded and agreed with Han Du's statement, but then asked quickly: "What should I use?"
"You can use cotton cloth, as long as it is woven densely and does not leak air. However, cotton cloth is too heavy, so it is best to use silk. One layer of silk is too thin, so several layers of silk can be blended together." Han Du explained.
Tao Chengdao thought about cotton and silk silently. Since Han Du said silk was better, he immediately gave up cotton. Of course, if you want to use it, use the best one. He is not short of money anyway. It's just a little bit of silk. He doesn't know how much silk he can buy for the cost of developing this snake-shaped speed car.
"Also, using oil lamps is definitely not possible. In my estimation, if you want to make people fly, the Kongming lantern required is probably several feet square. For such a large Kongming lantern, it is definitely not possible to use oil lamps."
"What should I use?" Tao Chengdao asked eagerly.
Han Du nodded and continued: "Use strong fire oil, and the oil-burning things must be specially made again."
"Okay, I've remembered it all." Tao Chengdao nodded, "I'll give it a try and see if it works. At that time, I'm afraid I'll need to ask the Marquis of Zhenhai for help and advice."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Han Du nodded.
Having said that, Han Du also put his mind on the roast mutton and continued to eat heartily.
Tao Chengdao had answers to his doubts and was now thinking about eating. Pick up the mutton and start chewing it, it's not pretentious at all. Although Tao Chengdao is very old, he eats meat as ferociously as any young man.
"Old sir, please slow down, be careful of choking." Han Du couldn't help but look at him worriedly and couldn't help but advise.
