Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 310 Eyes
After the autumnal equinox, the days are shorter and the nights are longer. When Haifeng wakes up from bed again, the moon has risen.

If she wasn't so hungry, she would almost turn over and fall asleep again.

"Hey, are you hungry?"

Dobu shook her shoulders twice and responded in a daze on the pillow.

"It's okay. If you're hungry, I'll ask them to come in and serve you."

"It seems that you have no talent as a cook."

"It depends on what you eat. When it comes to barbecue, I'm as confident as the palace cooks. And by the way, if you don't mind the cold, there's an ice cellar under this house. A while ago, Lian'er got tired of eating that. , soufflé? You also learned how to make milk ice cream from Zhang Cheng. I think you like it too, so I asked people to go to the mountain and get ice to prepare it. "

"Are Lian'er and I the only ones who like to eat it? After it's done, didn't you eat several bowls too?"

"Yes, yes, I want to eat. Let's make something to satisfy my craving."

Haifeng thought that Duobu was going to yell to ask Axiang and the others to come in, but he didn't expect that he got out of bed, groped in the deepest part of the closet for a while, and took out a musket, which she had given him when they got married. That one.

"On weekdays, when I say that I can see things clearly at night, Your Highness the Princess always doesn't believe me. I want to take you hunting at night, because I'm afraid that your thin skin and tender flesh won't be able to withstand insect bites. This time, I'll show you this book. The king’s method.”

Dobu pushed open the glass window, walked to the balcony, aimed at the courtyard door downstairs, and fired without hesitation.

A piece of tile on the eaves fell down in response.

Haifeng soon heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and the gentle footsteps of the maids.

"Okay! It's wonderful! Come back quickly and close the windows, otherwise bugs will really fly in and bite people."

Duobu put away the blunderbuss, came back from the balcony, and told Haifeng where the bullets and gunpowder were hidden in the secret compartments of the wardrobe.

"You're not afraid of [-], just what happens. I'm going to treat you to dinner tomorrow, let's do it the day after tomorrow. Starting from the day after tomorrow, I'll teach you how to fire a gun."

"really?"

Haifeng didn't even bother to put on his slippers. He ran to Dobu with bare feet and kissed him hard.

"If you want to eat ice cream, I'll make it for you myself. Do you want to eat anything else? Which floor is the kitchen on?"

"The kitchen is on the second floor. Aren't you afraid that the musket will go off and the sparks will set your clothes on fire?"

"I have to cut my fingers several times to learn how to cook. I'm not afraid."

"Yes, you dare to fire the artillery."

When Dobu hid the gun again, Haifeng suddenly remembered that when he used to work in a kindergarten, he taught children origami and handicrafts.

At that time, there was a student who handed in an assignment of folding a pistol out of A4 paper. The details were meticulously made, including bullets and magazines. In the end, he was rated No. 1 in the class.

The projectiles that Duo Bu was playing with just now were, at best, just metal beads ground to a smooth surface.

It's not like a bullet, it's slender.

Although Haifeng himself couldn't remember exactly what the bullet should look like.

"Every time you fire this gun, do you have to pour the gunpowder and pellets into it again?"

"if not?"

"Then, what if! You compete with a man in your marksmanship. He secretly hides one."

"My mind spins so fast. In fact, in Rakshasa, a soldier who fires a gun is best equipped with two helpers. After firing one gun here, the other one has been loaded at the back, and they can be fired continuously."

"What a waste. Three thousand soldiers can only be used as one thousand."

Dobu's movement of putting away the firearms stopped abruptly.

"What new idea do you have?"

"I just wondered if I could put two pellets in at a time."

"Oh, isn't that just a double-eyed gun?"

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Yes. Not to mention both eyes, there are five eyes and seven eyes. But after the artillery was cast, the Ministry of War didn't pay much attention to it. There is another thing. This was researched by the people of the previous dynasty. All the Eight Banners soldiers had eaten it. It’s too late to hate the bitterness, it’s just locked in the warehouse and gathering dust.”

Haifeng was curious and wanted to continue asking, but Axiang and the others had already come upstairs. "Master, the chef asked me what to cook?"

"I'll go down right now. You guys come in first and clean up the bathroom."

"Yes."

Seeing that only three people came in and there was no May, Hai Feng stopped Qing'er.

"Caught the current situation?"

"Yes. That little hoof has short eyes and has never seen many rare things. He couldn't bear to throw away the bath beans. He wanted to keep the box containing the bath beans and exchange them for a few coins. When the slave took them out of the bag, he still said something. She said she didn’t know what was going on. The mother was imprisoned in the front Buddhist hall and she was starved for two meals.”

"There will be a big banquet for guests tomorrow, and I don't have time to talk to her. I'll leave this matter to you. Please straighten her temper."

Qing'er quickly accepted the errand and ran upstairs to help Shutai and Axiang.

Then there was the sound of bath water flowing in the water pipes, and Haifeng looked at Dobu with admiration.

"I fully expected them to carry it downstairs in buckets."

"I have to praise the craftsmen who came from Shanxi. I gave a rough idea, and they understood it and made several drainage pipes out of copper."

"What about when we need water?"

"Just like drawing water from a well, there is a hand-operated pulley. The bath water you used today was brought up like this. It can also carry firewood and other light items. Look, the corridor ends on the east side."

"It's quite decent. I'll take a closer look at it when it gets bright tomorrow."

Haifeng then went out with great interest and took a look around the entire building.

In the kitchen on the second floor, even the oven is built.Duobu asked two Mongolian cooks to learn how to make bread in advance. Haifeng immediately asked them to ferment the dough and planned to try it as soon as possible.

"Enie and Lian'er, what are you having for dinner?"

Aunt Sailon, who was directing the cook, spoke back and stirred butter in her hands.

"Master, how can Lian Gege be the one who can sit still? I'm tired of strolling in the front two courtyards, so I have to go back. Concubine Jing couldn't coax her, but Brother Ten had an idea. He coaxed her to take Gege out. Riding a big horse. The two of them went out and went crazy for a long time before they came back. Gege is now sleeping in the building on the west side. The queen and the people in front of me just came here to tell the news that the master needs to rest early. "

"I'm afraid it's been a bumpy ride and I'm tired."

"The slave just asked someone to cook rice porridge and send it over. Over at Gege, Changchun specially asked someone to come over and take out the midnight snack and prepare it. When this girl from Changchun first came here, the slave thought she was too young and had no eyes. She can work as an errand. Who knows, she really feels sorry for Lian Gege and serves her in every possible way, and Gege also likes her."

No matter how young she is, she is still a girl who almost becomes a mother.

I hope that my daughter’s liveliness and cuteness can help Changchun become positive and optimistic as soon as possible.

Haifeng sighed slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and started making ice cream.

Dobb was right, things were never done.

Look, I have just moved to a new home, and four or five things, big and small, are popping up one after another.

She wanted to study that double-eyed blunderbuss as soon as possible!

You really need to train more helpers.At least, it must be at the level of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

She brought out all the servants in the dowry, but there were not enough eunuchs in the palace. Kangxi was able to squeeze in the few for her, which was considered a favor.

Although she received a lot of training before coming out, none of the people in her house were proficient in Mongolian.

If you want to do big things on the grassland, it's better to find a Mongolian as a helper.

I'm going to treat you tomorrow.
You will definitely see a few familiar old faces.

For example, Duobu's second uncle.

This man is more cunning than a fox. He is the hidden boss of Tuxie Tuhan's tribe.

Let’s start by conquering him!

　Personal notes:
　　1. Café Procope, the oldest cafe in Paris, opened in 1686. It began to offer ice cream at that time, and even had a variety of flavors;

　　2. Multi-eye fire guns were developed in the Ming Dynasty, represented by the "Five Thunder God Machine" invented by Qi Jiguang. When Zuo Zongtang learned about this in 1867, he expressed emotion: "It has been 300 years since sharp weapons entered China, so that some people at that time paid attention to it. How come the island tribes roamed the sea and held it against me for decades!" However, different perspectives on this The interpretation of the sentence is different and doubtful.But this at least shows that in the late Qing Dynasty, the invention of related firearms was almost lost.
