It is now the time, although it has passed the White Dew and is close to the autumnal equinox, the autumn tiger of this year's Jade City has still not left.
The sky is cloudless.
The sun is still hot.
Li Chenan didn't like the weather very much. He originally wanted to stay in the west building, but Amu wanted to sit in the pavilion and look at the pond full of lotus flowers.
So he had no choice but to stay in the pavilion, but he made a basin of ice and froze a pot of herbal tea in the ice.
Saltpeter can be bought in medical clinics and grocery stores, but its name is fire saltpeter.
Medical clinics use this stuff as medicine to treat heatstroke, colds, abdominal pain and other diseases.
However, the things sold in grocery stores are not used for the production of fireworks and firecrackers as Li Chenan thought, but are mainly used for Taoist alchemy!
There are no fireworks.
As for firecrackers, they are really made of bamboo!
In other words, the fire and medicine of the Eight Classics have not yet appeared in this dynasty of this world!
Li Chenan's eyes lit up.
He looked at Xiong Da who was standing opposite and asked again: "You mean, everyone is doing it with real swords and guns on the battlefield? There is no such thing as artillery?"
Xiong Da scratched his head and smiled innocently, feeling that the young master was acting a little strange today.
"What is an artillery piece?"
"...It's just a big iron pier," Li Chen'an gestured with his hands, "an iron pipe as thick as the mouth of a bowl can fire powerful cannonballs with a thunderous sound."
The big bear's head shook like a rattle, "No, I have never heard of it in my many years in the army."
"What about defending the city? What can we use to defend the city?"
"The arrow tower and the catapult."
"ok, I get it."
Xiong Da said goodbye and left, and Li Chenan began to think about fire and medicine.
After thinking for a long time, he discovered a problem. He knew that fire and medicine were made from saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in a certain proportion, but he didn't know what the proportion was, and he didn't know how to make guns!
Who knew that time travel would happen to me?
If you knew that, you would have been doing nothing in business in your previous life, and you should study hard and become a military expert!
In such a backward era, if guns and cannons were made...even red cannons, rifles, and rifles, and equipped with an army of ten thousand people, they might be able to sweep the entire world.
I regret it!
You definitely can't make guns and cannons. The most you can do is make fire and powder and add some sugar in them.
Thinking of this, Li Chenan gave up the idea of tinkering with guns and was about to make a list for Xiong Da to buy the materials needed for gunpowder, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the screen wall.
He looked up and was suddenly shocked——
Just under the sun, a girl wearing a snow-white dress came in.
Her hands dropped and were clasped in front of her.
Her hair rose and fell in gentle waves with her steps.
The white jade hairpin on her head exuded flowing brilliance in the sunlight.
The silver necklace on her slender neck also folded and shone in the sun.
Could it be that this is as graceful as a startling dragon, as graceful as a swimming dragon?
She seemed to raise her eyes and glance at Li Chen'an, and seemed to see Li Chen'an's unblinking look.
Her face turned slightly red, her head lowered, and she walked towards the pavilion.
The distance is closer.
Li Chenan saw that pretty face clearly.
He was suddenly startled when a guy stood up!
At this moment, Amu also looked back. He took that look, and then seemed to think that the lotus in this pool was more beautiful, so he turned his head and continued to look at the lotus with a red dragonfly resting on it. Lotus in bud.
Li Chenan looked past Ning Chuchu and looked at Zhiyuan who was following Ning Chuchu.
Then he looked at Ning Chuchu again and took a step outside the pavilion: "No... you, have we met in Guangling City?"
Ning Chuchu raised her head, a cunning light flashed in her eyes.
"Did the young master recognize the wrong person?"
"...It's so similar! On the third day of March, in Huapingtung, Guangling City, I met a handsome father-in-law from the palace! He looks a lot like you!"
"Besides, I shouldn't be able to admit that this young lady behind you is wrong!"
"She was beside that handsome father-in-law that day... What's your surname?"
Ning Chuchu was stunned, turned to look at Zhiyuan, and asked in a low voice with some curiosity: "Where did this handsome father-in-law come from?"
Zhiyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, then replied: "Mr. Li may have mistaken the young lady's brother for the father-in-law in the palace."
When Li Chenan heard this, he suddenly realized.
"Oh, it turns out he is the girl's brother... Please come in, girl."
Ning Chuchu glanced at Li Chenan resentfully, lifted up her skirt and stepped into the pavilion, but was suddenly startled.
She pointed to the basin of ice on the table, "Where did this come from?"
"I made it, come on, the weather is too hot, so this iced herbal tea is almost ready, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Ning Chuchu sat opposite Li Chenan, and Zhiyuan stood behind her. Both the master and the servant's eyes fell on the basin of crystal clear ice, with extremely shocked faces!
Because of ice, in such a hot season, even Ning Chu Chugui, the fourth princess of Ning Kingdom, could not enjoy it, but unexpectedly she saw such a big basin of ice here!
He said he did it...how did he do it?
Li Chenan poured two bowls of iced herbal tea and handed them over. Ning Chuchu and Zhiyuan took them. The master and servant took a small sip. A cool and slightly sweet feeling came down, and the heat all over their bodies disappeared immediately.
Ning Chuchu took another big sip and suddenly felt extremely comfortable all over her body.
I still remember that my father gave me a bowl of this when I was still young. It also felt cold, but the taste was much bitterer than Li Chenan's bowl.
She put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and lightly touched it to her mouth. Her eyes looked at Li Chenan happily, her red lips parted slightly:
"Ruoshui and I are good sisters."
"I heard that Ruoshui found a fiancé in Guangling City and came to Kyoto. Do you think it's you?"
Li Chenan grinned and nodded.
"I heard from my brother... It's the handsome father-in-law you met in Hua Pingtung in Guangling City on March 3rd... He said that he found an embroiderer in Guangling City, so it must be you?"
"Replace it if it's fake!"
Li Chenan took out the silver medal from his arms and handed it over: "I have been in Kyoto for more than ten days. I wanted to meet your brother, but Ruoshui said that he was very busy in the palace and I couldn't get in with my status, so after you go back Please also say sorry to him!"
"..."
Ning Chuchu thought that this little girl Ruoshui might have done it on purpose!
It was really important for her to still care about this guy, but this also showed that she was still worried that she would steal her fiancé.
That Xiao Nizi has always been extremely confident no matter what she does, but she is very defensive about herself in this matter. Does this also mean that her beauty is comparable to hers?
Ning Chuchu suddenly smiled, which made Li Chen's heart skip a beat?——
He had to admit that the sister of the leader of Lijing Division in front of him did have an appearance that was not inferior to that of Zhongli Ruoshui!
However, now that I have Zhongli Ruoshui, I can no longer float like in my previous life.
He pretended to cough twice, leaned over and said:
"That's right. Your brother had to let me be the embroiderer at that time. I agreed that I would get four taels of silver per month."
"Look...five months have passed in the blink of an eye. Can you please help me ask your brother, girl, when will you give me twenty taels of silver as my salary?"
