After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 246 Another secret weapon

The fireworks were lit and shot up into the sky with a bang, exploding into a colorful rain of flowers.

Lin Xi looked up, her eyes lit up by the fireworks, overflowing with brilliance.

This fireworks show is far inferior to the fireworks shows in large-scale celebrations in later generations, but in this era before fireworks were introduced, it was already stunning and shocking enough.

Everyone who was busy in the valley looked up.

Although they have seen it many times, they still can't take their eyes away every time they look at it.

The Qisheng Taoist priest stroked his beard quite contentedly, "Miss Xiling, how are you?"

Lin Xi: "Very good, I will give you a bonus at the end of the month."

The Taoist priest's eyes lit up and he grinned happily.

As a result, I heard her say in the next sentence: "However, the current fireworks are still a bit crude, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. I hope you can continue to study and make more gorgeous and bright fireworks."

Qisheng Taoist Priest: Isn’t this gorgeous enough?
When he set off fireworks for the first time, he was so amazed that there was such a beautiful thing in the world, it was like a gift from God.

Who knows that in the eyes of the Xiling girl, she is not beautiful enough.

Could it be that she has seen more beautiful fireworks?
"Yes, Pindao must work hard and live up to the girl's expectations."

Lin Xi: "Also, in the past few days, you can make some small fireworks, such as firework sticks, sky cannons, etc. This is a recipe."

Taoist priest Qisheng took it. Not only did the recipe contain detailed production steps, but he also drew a picture of the finished product.

It's clear at a glance.

Having already made the fireworks, he was not worried at all, "How many do you want?"

Lin Xi: “The more, the better.”

After returning to Spring Valley, the Taoist priest Qisheng asked: "Miss Xiling, you said before that you would build a Taoist temple specifically for poor Taoists..."

Lin Xi: "It's already under construction. After the fireworks are finished, you can go out and have a look."

After the beginning of the new year, she handed over the design drawings of the Taoist temple to Gongsun Hui and asked her to take charge of the project.

Now the foundation of the Taoist temple has been laid, and the required materials are gradually arriving from various places. All that remains is to build it step by step.

However, the Taoist temple is huge in scale. In ancient times, there were no excavators, transporters, gravel crushers and other construction machines. The efficiency was very slow and it could not be completed in a year and a half.

Speaking of this, Lin Xi plans to purchase a major in mechanics, and when conditions are ripe, he can "invent" those machines.

After returning to the Peach Blossom Cave (Stone Chamber), Lin Xi went straight to the secret room and unloaded the gold and silver jewelry that was packed in her pocket.

Then went to Winter Valley.

It's as cold as ever here, to the point where dripping water turns into ice.

Lin Xi's body was running with kung fu, and her body became warm from the inside out due to the flow of internal energy.

The outside uses mental power to build a barrier, which can effectively resist the invasion of cold air.

Only in this way can she walk safely inside.

But we can't stay too long, it's really freezing here.

Quickly arriving at the edge of the ice lake, Lin Xi took out the Broken Sun Knife - Lin Wushang gave her a dagger that was as sharp as clay when she was one year old, and she gave it such a majestic and impressive name.

The blade sliced ​​across, cutting through the thick ice in the glacial lake.

She collected the ice cubes into the space.

When the portable space was full, she didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

Taking Xiao Jin back to Linjiang, Lin Xi stored a space of ice cubes in a warehouse of the Qianhai Gang at the dock.

Then he summoned the crow and sent a letter to Pan Yanjun - bring someone to the dock warehouse to get ice.

Now that it has entered May (lunar calendar), the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Since she has an entire valley of ice, why not use it?
Just take it out and put it in the Jinlin Pavilion to turn it into a cool entertainment city. Are you afraid that no guests will come?
In addition to fireworks, the ice in Winter Valley is also her other secret weapon.

Even if Jinyu Pavilion could afford Bing, it would definitely not be able to be as generous as her.

Probably not even the emperor could use ice as recklessly as she did.Then she would like to see how Jinyu Pavilion competes with Jinlin Pavilion for business.

She did know how to make ice with saltpeter, but the efficiency of this method was too low. It would be better to send water directly into the Winter Valley.

It doesn't take long for the ice to be cold.

Winter Valley is simply the perfect natural refrigerator.

However, she disliked the low efficiency of the saltpeter ice-making method, but others did not necessarily think so. After all, it was an ice-making method, and it might be possible to sell it for money.

Pan Yanjun received the letter from the pavilion master and immediately took people to the dock warehouse.

As soon as I opened the door, a blast of cool air hit my face. It felt very cool on this midsummer night.

In a corner of the warehouse, there are many ice bricks neatly stacked, crystal clear and cold.

"Quickly, move these ice bricks back." It would be a disaster if they melted.

In fact, she was overthinking.

Although it is all ice, the ice in the Winter Valley has been frozen before Lin Xi and the others discovered it. It may have been frozen for hundreds of years. It is far more heat-resistant than ordinary ice and is less likely to melt.

Ordinary ice may melt in an hour or two, but the ice in Winter Valley can last for most of the day.

This is what Pan Yanjun later discovered.

The ice bricks were transported back to Jinlin Pavilion and put into the ice cellar.

There is an ice cellar in Jinlin Pavilion, and a lot of ice is stored in it, but the ice is limited, where can it be opened and used?
It wasn't the hottest time yet, so she didn't ask anyone to take out the ice.

Now that the pavilion master has obtained these ice bricks, the pressure of using ice in their Jinlin Pavilion will be much less.

"Sister Yanjun, can you put some ice basins in the dance practice room? It's too hot for us to practice dance, and we'll be sweating after a while. If we continue dancing, we might faint from the heat."

Shangguan Jiao came to Pan Yanjun, half acting coquettishly and half complaining.

If it were before, Pan Yanjun would have asked her to endure it a little longer and overcome it.

But now that the pavilion master had brought this batch of ice, she graciously agreed.

"Okay, I'll have someone get you some ice basins."

Shangguan Jiao was quite surprised: "Thank you very much, Sister Yanjun, but why did you agree so readily this time?"

In previous years, it would take her a long time before Sister Yanjun was willing to remove the ice for them to use.

Pan Yanjun smiled: "You have to thank the Pavilion Master for this. The Pavilion Master got a batch of ice cubes from somewhere, which is enough for us to use for several days."

Lin Xi ran back and forth six or seven times that night, transporting a lot of ice from the Winter Valley.

These ice cubes are enough for Jinlin Pavilion to use it for a long time.

Pan Yanjun was really shocked by her generosity.

Where did the master of the pavilion get so many ice cubes?

Even the ice cellar in the palace cannot store so much ice, right?
It's a pity that her doubts are destined to remain unanswered.

After returning to Twin Valley for the last time, Lin Xi did not leave again and went to the bedroom to catch up on her sleep.

After waking up, he went to the dock to meet Qin Shuang who had returned by boat, and the two of them returned to Lin's house together.

Everything that needs to be explained in Jinlin Pavilion has been explained, so she no longer needs to keep an eye on it.

When I came back before, I found that Chun Niang had been taken away. She hurriedly left without even having a chance to drink a cup of tea.

Later I stayed in Jinlin Pavilion for so long.

She hadn't been home for nearly half a year, and she still missed her.

No matter how exciting the colorful world outside is, the small building in the Lin family's backyard is the home that truly gives her a sense of belonging.
