"Yan'er knows how to make such things, so don't let outsiders know."
When Xiao Mingye discovered such a powerful thing, his first reaction was not to use it for himself, but more to worry about Feng Qingyan.
The power of this gunpowder is comparable to that of thousands of troops. It would be unimaginable to use it in large quantities on the battlefield.
Once gunpowder is released, it will inevitably become a weapon used by the royal families of various countries to fight for power.
Feng Qingyan will inevitably become the object of their competition, which will inevitably put herself in danger.
"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know."
Feng Qingyan smiled and shrugged.
Naturally, she also knows the pros and cons of this.
Once gunpowder comes out, it is likely to cause death.
She would not use it on the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.
And it can be seen that Xiao Mingye has done a good job in this aspect, unlike the emperor, who is obsessed with profit.
Now that she and Xiao Mingye have come to this point, there are some things that Feng Qingyan can't hide even if she wants to.
It's better to let him know openly.
Let him also know her own strength, and she will be more confident to do some things.
"That's very good."
Xiao Mingye didn't worry too much.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and if it comes to that, he has enough ability to protect her.
Moreover, Feng Qingyan's own strength cannot be ignored. Anyone who wants to cause trouble for her will most likely end up at a disadvantage.
Mu Qing, who was on the side, was slightly embarrassed as she listened to the two people's conversation as if no one was watching.
Did their princess simply ignore him?
Feng Qingyan didn't ignore Mu Qing. If Xiao Mingye couldn't even rely on the person closest to him, his life as a prince would be in vain.
Early the next morning, the workers were shocked as they watched the big rock turn into stone.
However, with Xiao Mingye's order, everyone shut up obediently.
Although they didn't know what the process was, it didn't stop them from admiring Feng Qingyan in their hearts.
After the boulder was blown open and workers cleaned it up, the so-called mineral deposits below were finally exposed.
"My lord and princess, what do you think this is?"
Zhang Liang frowned, holding a dark object and handing it to Xiao Mingye and Feng Qingyan.
He happily thought that there would be gold or jade underneath, but unexpectedly he dug out a pile of dark things.
What use can this thing have?
They spent so much effort, wouldn't it all be in vain?
"You...don't recognize this thing?"
Feng Qingyan was slightly surprised.
Doesn’t this world even know about coal?
"No...I don't know."
Zhang Liang shook his head.
Seeing that Feng Qingyan was not surprised at all, Xiao Mingye knew that she must recognize this object.
"This is called coal. It is similar to the silver carbon charcoal you usually use. It is more resistant to burning, has stronger fire power, and can be used for heating and boiling water."
Feng Qingyan knew early on that there was coal underneath, but she didn't expect that there was no precedent for coal mining in Daxia.
This actually greatly increased the value of the coal.
"Can this really burn?"
This thing looks a bit like silver charcoal, but it is black and hard. How can it be burned?
Zhang Liang was very suspicious.
"Whether it can be burned, you will know if you try it."
Feng Qingyan simply dug a hole in the ground and asked Mu Qing to find some firewood and wood.
She first put the firewood into the pit and lit it, then spread the wood on top and placed the coals on top of the firewood.
After a while, the firewood ignited the wood and ignited the coal. The fire became more and more intense and very durable.
"This...such a few pieces of stuff can actually be burned for such a long time, and they are much more useful than firewood."
Zhang Liang was very surprised.
This thing has enough firepower and is resistant to burning. It will be much more convenient no matter what you use it for.
It is indeed a rare treasure.
Zhang Liang knew the usefulness of coal, so he led people to start construction according to Feng Qingyan's construction drawings.
The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and Feng Qingyan didn't want to waste it.
She had nothing to do just now, so she happened to catch a pheasant and pick a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms.
There is also a ready-made bluestone slab on the side, which can be used to make a slate roast.
Feng Qingyan is truly a foodie, and she can be associated with food anytime and anywhere.
"Mu Qing, go clean that bluestone slab by the river."
Free labor is not in vain, Feng Qingyan said.
"What are you doing cleaning it, Princess?"
Mu Qing asked in confusion.
"Want to eat slate grill?"
"What is slate-yaki?"
As soon as she heard about eating, Mu Qing immediately became energetic.
"You definitely don't know what you've said. What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you go quickly?"
Before Feng Qingyan could explain, Xiao Mingye glared at Mu Qing and spoke first.
He had discovered that Mu Qing had been staring at his little princess's good things all day long.
"Here we go under the tree."
Mu Qingke knew that Feng Qingyan's KFC was very popular and tasted super delicious.
The food made by Feng Qingyan is definitely not bad.
He immediately went to work in a hurry.
Mu Qing went to clean the bluestone slab, while Feng Qingyan added a few more pieces of coal into the pit.
Then she quickly ran to the river and prepared to process the pheasant mushrooms and wild vegetables.
After Mu Qing cleaned up the bluestone, Feng Qingyan asked him to place it on the fire pit.
After he came back, he originally planned to go up and help Feng Qingyan slaughter the chicken, but when he saw her skillful movements, he gave up the idea instantly.
I saw Feng Qingyan skinning the pheasant from beginning to end with three strokes.
The skin is still intact after peeling off.
After processing the skin, Feng Qingyan started processing the internal organs.
Did you think it would be bloody and horrific?
Wrong wrong wrong.
Watching Feng Qingyan slaughter a chicken is like watching a large-scale surgical operation.
He is truly a professional surgeon, his technique is really clean and neat, without any sloppiness.
Mu Qing felt her scalp numb.
So this is how their princess usually performs surgeries?
This...this is too scary.
He swore that if he offended anyone in the future, he would not offend their princess.
After handling the pheasant, Feng Qingyan used a dagger to cut the chicken into small pieces, and then used skewers to pierce the chicken into strings.
Xiao Mingye had just washed the mushrooms and wild vegetables, and imitated Feng Qingyan's look, and she also dressed them up in skewers.
At this time, the temperature of the bluestone over there should be almost enough.
Feng Qingyan put the oil scraped from the pheasant on the stone slab, and soon there were oil splashes on the stone slab.
She put the skewered pheasant pieces on the stone slab, and they made a squeaking sound instantly.
Just hearing this voice makes people feel like a chef.
After a while, the smell of barbecue came out.
When a few pieces were almost cooked, Feng Qingyan put the remaining mushrooms and wild vegetables on top and grilled them together.
Feng Qingyan kept turning it over and over, and from time to time she took out bottles and cans from her sleeves and sprinkled them again and again.
looks very tasty.
Mu Qing on the side couldn't help but swallowed, and didn't even think about where Feng Qingyan got these condiments.
Xiao Mingye knew it, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more.
