Saltpeter or fire saltpeter, after Xu Yunyan issued the order, Zhang Hong reluctantly went to find it for him.
When it was a new day, Zhang Hong took a shovel and two soldiers carrying a basket of pungent-smelling white powder to the door of Xu Yunyan's mansion, where he looked at the gate in confusion.
The two soldiers looked at Zhang Hong, a little embarrassed.
"Boss, do we really carry this thing in? After carrying such a pungent smell, don't let the general kick us out. We are not afraid of being kicked out, but we are afraid of being beaten again."
Zhang Hong helplessly covered his nose with a piece of cloth to block out the pungent smell a little, and spoke angrily.
"Who says it's not? It's just the general's arrangement. What if we don't do it? Forget it, people will die and birds will live for eternity. Let's fight! Since the general wants this thing and the smell is so strong, I also reminded him , let’s take it in.”
As Zhang Hong looked generous and sacrificed, he and his two younger brothers carried the pungent-smelling saltpeter into Xu Yunyan's mansion. Yue'er, who had just walked out of the room after helping Mei Jingjing clean up, smelled To the pungent smell.
"What's the smell? It's so pungent?"
Yue'er rushed out of the room, shouting as if she thought of something.
"Xiao Lizi, Xiao Lizi, if anyone dares to pour excrement into our home, beat me up. Do you want to smoke me to death?"
When Yue'er shouted, Xue Li and Wang Ergou rushed out of the room. They looked at Liu Qiang who was standing at the door, opening the door to let Zhang Hong and the two soldiers in. Yue'er stood there with his hands on his hips and got angry.
"Why did you let them in? Look at what they are carrying. They are about to smoke me to death. Do you want them to smoke me to death?"
Yue'er is messing around here, but Zhang Hong doesn't dare to offend Yue'er. This is the Marquis's sister, and she will also be a member of the Marquis's family in the future. She will be very dignified when she gets married.
Zhang Hong hurriedly said here, "Miss, this thing doesn't want us!"
It's the general. The general wants us to find these things. "
"Huh? What does my stinky brother want to do? Does he want to smoke me to death?"
Listening to the noisy words outside, Xu Yunyan walked out with a dark face.
"Yue'er, don't make trouble, this is a good thing prepared by my brother."
"What? Brother, since when have you become so fond of eating this stuff that you're not afraid of spoiling your appetite? Isn't this the same as eating something?"
Just when Yue'er was complaining about Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan's face turned dark.
"Yue'er, this is really good stuff. I'm going to use it to make ice to cool your sister-in-law."
"Where are you going to make ice on this hot day? Does your head have a fever? Or is it so fuming that you don't know what to do?"
When Yue'er didn't understand why she was here, Xu Yunyan commanded Zhang Hong and several others.
"Don't be stunned. Go get some basins of water and wash this thing a few times. The smell will be gone after washing."
Following Xu Yunyan's arrangements, Zhang Hong hurriedly went to get a few buckets of clean water. He dissolved the saltpeter in the water according to Xu Yunyan's instructions. The smell was finally much better.
After a few times, Xu Yunyan cleaned up the yellow liquid on the top that was nauseating at first sight. After several times of drying it in water, Xu Yunyan finally got some pure saltpeter, and Xu Yunyan felt happy.
While Xu Yunyan was changing the water, everyone was surprised to see hoarfrost on the wooden basin filled with saltpeter.
Is this a hot day? Am I blind or has the world changed?
Although everyone is not blind, can this really make ice? It seems that the world has changed.
Yue'er, who didn't have much experience, couldn't help but lick her tongue when she looked at the frost on the barrel.
"Can this thing be eaten?"
Yue'er said that she was about to rush forward to have a taste, but Xu Yunyan quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands.
"My silly sister, you don't even look at what this is made of. Do you think the smell and the color just now, even if it is ice, do you dare to eat it? Not to mention the water flowing from the edge of the basin Pass……"
Hearing this, Yue'er nodded and stuck out her tongue, "Yes, yes, yes! It's all mine, no! You, a stinky brother, didn't tell me earlier, which almost made me embarrassed here."
Yue'er might be afraid that she had been embarrassed and lost her face just now, so Xu Yunyan helped her save her face and then apologized to Xu Yunyan in a rare opportunity.
While Xu Yunyan was helping Sister Mei Jing make ice here, the situation in Chang'an City was changing, and many people were plotting in different places, but these things had nothing to do with Xu Yunyan.
When Xu Yunyan actually made the ice, he placed it in the courtyard to cool the plum blossoms quietly. At the same time, some of the ice was made into shaved ice. When he was enjoying himself secretly, a eunuch suddenly came to deliver the order. .
Xu Yunyan was very curious when he heard that someone had come to convey the order. What happened?
However, when Xu Yunyan was confused, he still walked out of the room. As he walked out, he inadvertently saw the date on the simple calendar that I had noted.
"My dear, will the Xuanwumen Incident happen tomorrow? What should I do?"
Just when Xu Yunyan was frightened, Xu Yunyan had an idea, don't let Li Yuan let me continue to be the guard of Xuanwu Gate at this time.
Just when Xu Yunyan was worrying about what was going on, the eunuch came in.
Seeing the eunuch Xu Yunyan clasping his fists, the eunuch didn't have time to open his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Xu, has a decree."
Xu Yunyan quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"My lord, General Yunhui has accepted the order."
"By God's destiny, the emperor decreed..."
After a series of monotonous content, I saw that although Li Yuan was not comfortable publishing his achievements in sugar and temporarily hid his achievements, he actually expanded his fiefdom. Originally there were 300 households when he was an earl, but when he became a marquis, Li Yuan was really open-minded and added it to 500 with a stroke of his pen. This made Xu Yunyan a little excited. This must be the territory of a village!
Xu Yunyan was here listening to the official's report to him, and the eunuch suddenly said something else.
"Your Majesty asked General Xu to take ice-making equipment to the Imperial City to make ice for Your Majesty. His Majesty and several princes and grandsons were too bored, especially the little prince, especially the newly born little prince who was weak, so Xu The general went immediately to cool down."
As the eunuch said this, the big stone in Xu Yunyan's heart finally fell to the ground.
"It turns out that I didn't want to be the guard of Xuanwu Gate again, as long as I don't become the guard of Xuanwu Gate."
Xu Yunyan nodded hurriedly, "I obey the order, now pack up and take the people to the imperial city immediately."
The eunuch nodded.
"General, you can bring your own troops and horses to escort the equipment. Your Majesty means that it can be kept secret or it should be kept secret for a period of time."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan nodded like a kowtowing insect. He kept kowtowing here, but in the end he became a little dizzy.
After finally seeing off the eunuchs respectfully, he looked again at the two serving maids in his courtyard, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian, and took out two golden lumps from his arms and stuffed them one by one.
"I'm going to the imperial city to do some work for His Majesty. You two have also heard about it. I have to take care of you at home. Thank you very much for being here, Xu."
Seeing that the approachable Lord Marquis stuffed himself with gold ingots, the two girls were even more excited and couldn't help but promise.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we will definitely do this properly."
After things at home were arranged, Xu Yunyan said something to Liu Qiang as if he had thought of something.
"Brother Liu, close the door after we go out. Don't open the door as long as anyone other than me comes. Remember, remember!"
"Don't worry, sir. If I don't do this well again, I will just pack up and get out."
Liu Qiang was joking here, and Xu Yunyan smiled, "It's not that serious, it's just safety first, and more importantly, I don't want you to flatter these officials when I'm not around. I also know that Brother Liu doesn't like this." matter."
Xu Yunyan's excuse was that she was quite beautiful, and Liu Qiang couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
He warned Liu Qiang and talked to Yue'er and others.
"Did you listen to what I just said?"
Yue'er nodded hurriedly.
"For the sake of this shaved ice, I'll just listen to you."
Xue Li and Wang Ergou were so embarrassed. How could Xu Yunyan be found out about eating secretly? The only ones left were Xue Li and Wang Ergou, who helped themselves and stole some food.
However, in order not to be embarrassed, Xue Li and Wang Ergou hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, we won't cause trouble."
