I am Feng Jun

Chapter 139 139. Eating is boring

"Master Ci, why do you think that white stone is saltpeter?"

Duanmu Ming asked aloud at this moment.

Shen Ci looked at Duanmu Ming, who had a plain and smiling face, and deduced his identity from the long needle he just used.

"Are you Duanmuming, the gentleman with thousands of faces?"

Duanmu Ming nodded slightly.

"It's down."

"I know that saltpeter can be used to make gunpowder and medicine, but I don't know that saltpeter can be used to make ice?"

"Well, this is troublesome to say."

Shen Ci moved his hair.

The key is that I am afraid that they will not understand it!
"Well—to put it simply, put saltpeter in water, and the temperature of the water will drop. At this time, put a container in the water, and the water in the container will condense into ice."

"So Easy?"

Duanmu Ming couldn't help sighing.

Shen Ci chuckled and shook his head.

"Of course not. I've said it all. It's simple, but it's quite troublesome to actually do it."

In the hot summer, it is almost impossible to use saltpeter to make ice cubes at one time.

This is not as simple as simply adding saltpeter to the water.

If you want to succeed, you can only use multi-stage refrigeration.

It is necessary to use a large amount of saltpeter to reduce the temperature of the water to about [-] degrees.

Then divide the [-]-degree water into two parts, one part is placed in a large container, and saltpeter is continued to be thrown into it.

Cool another portion of the water in this small container to about ten degrees below.

Then divide the ten-degree water into two parts, one inside and one outside, and continue to cool.

In this way, it is possible to drop below zero and form ice cubes.

In this way, the number of ice cubes that can be made in the end is much less than imagined.

Moreover, it is very troublesome.

Time-consuming and labor-intensive consumption of saltpeter.

Presumably because of this, the method of making ice with saltpeter has not been discovered!

Although it is very simple to make ice with saltpeter in winter, it only needs to be done once.

But it was winter, and freezing was normal.

Even if someone discovers it by accident, it is unlikely that it is the effect of saltpeter.

I don't know how the people in Lucheng found out.

But no matter how she found out, it should be certain that there is saltpeter in this city.

Since there is saltpeter in this city, why didn't the magistrate report it?
Just to make ice for money?

I'm afraid not necessarily!

People in the world don't know that saltpeter can be used to make ice, so they don't know that saltpeter is used to make ice in Lucheng.

The matter of saltpeter in Lucheng was concealed in such an upright manner.

Moreover, I heard that there is a hot spring lake in Nanning County in Lucheng?

In that way, the sulfur needed to make gunpowder is also indispensable.

Coupled with charcoal, isn't this the simplest gunpowder ready to come out?

Shen Ci smiled coldly, a faint light flashed across his eyes.

This prefect of Lucheng probably has a lot of ambitions!
"That's how it is. I think I used saltpeter as medicine before, and I found that the water that dissolves in saltpeter will make the water cooler, but I didn't go into it.

Unexpectedly, this saltpeter can be used not only to make extremely strong gunpowder, but also to make extremely cold ice cubes. "

Duanmuming shook his head slowly, and said with a little self-mockery.

"So it seems that the incident of saltpetre in Lucheng has not been reported to the imperial court."

Huangfu Xing's voice was cold, the glazed chess piece was jumping and flying between his five fingers.

"Besides, there are bandits in Luoshan. If it weren't for Yu Xiaoyao, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been exposed!"

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw some seriousness in each other's eyes.

The prosperity of this Lucheng is probably not that simple!
"Grandfather, pack everything up..."

了

Yi Shu, who was holding a food box in each of his left and right hands, was stopped by the four people's glances.

Yi Shu looked around at the four people in front of him, as well as the sleeping Nangong Xin, and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Five, five, five, five gentlemen?"

There is nothing to doubt, it is the Five Gentlemen!

Yi Shu's heart was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth were also wide open.

She never thought that one day she would be able to meet the Five Gentlemen too!

Living Five Gentlemen!

Um, well, one of them is asleep, but that's okay!

sky!nice!

Not only is it beautiful, but the Shangguan armor holding the lancet and Murong Yi who is carrying the black sunset bow also look very powerful!
Yi Shu's eyes became starry in a second, and her pace slowed down a lot.

Yishu's reaction like this made Shangguan Kai and others feel a little bit relieved.

It doesn't appear that their charm has declined.

It's just that Shen Ci is different from others.

Yi Shu was holding out the food in his hands, but his eyes were always on those five people.

Shen Ci rolled his eyes unobtrusively.

I saw Shen Ci sat up straight, unfolded the folding fan with a bang and shook it lightly, a 'kind' smile appeared on his face.

"How many want to eat together?"

Tang Shansi next to him was already so hungry that he grabbed a steamed bun and ate it.

Yi Shu's eyes lit up when he heard Shen Ci's words, and he looked at Shangguan Kai expectantly.

Being able to eat in the same room with the five gentlemen, she will show off to her sisters after she goes back!

Seeing this, Shangguan Kai made a slight smile and replied with cupped fists.

"Our brothers still have to investigate, so we won't bother you."

Shen Ci raised his hand slightly, waved it casually, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

"Then I won't give it away, see you later!"

"Farewell."

A few people nodded and left, the door of the Broken Star Pavilion was closed again, Yi Shu who was standing by the table felt lost for a while.

However, she quickly self-mediated.

Even though we couldn't eat together, we still saw each other anyway!

Yi Shu looked at Shen Ci who picked up the chopsticks, and asked a question rather puzzled.

"Master Ci, do you know Five Gentlemen?"

Didn't Ci Ye say before that he would come to find the Fifth Gentleman?

Hearing that meaning, he probably didn't know him. Why did Five Gentlemen suddenly come to the door today?

Shen Ci's thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was light.

"Well, I just met."

"just met?"

Yi Shu's expression was a bit indescribable.

Is it so sloppy?

"They live in the Mingyue Pavilion next door, and they came here for Yu Xiaoyao, hey, by the way, do you know what kind of grievances that sleeping man has with Yu Xiaoyao?"

Shen Ci suddenly wanted to hear some gossip, and eating was quite boring.

Tang Shansi also looked at Yi Shu while gnawing on the chicken leg, with stars shining in his eyes.

He really likes to hear the grievances and hatreds of people in the Jianghu!

Seeing that the two masters are so interested, Yi Shu has been traveling for many years and knows a lot.

So she vividly told the whole story between Nangong Xin and Yu Xiaoyao.

Tang Shansi was fine after listening, but Shen Ci's expression changed a bit.

Speaking of Nangong Xin being molested by Yu Xiaoyao, he thought of the night when Yu Xiaoyao broke into Ciyuan.

This woman really likes to tease others!

"Also, Mr. Ci, I also heard that Yu Xiaoyao went to meet the second son of the Shen family not long ago, do you know?"

Yi Shu talked gossip to himself, and began to extend infinitely.

Tang Shansi is more interested in this.

"The sick son who hasn't been born in the imperial capital for 16 years?"

"That's right, that's him, didn't he go out once before, and then he was robbed by the people from Sierzhai!

You all know that Sierzhai has always robbed wealth but not sex!
But, it was because the head of the Sierzhai saw that Second Young Master Shen was so good-looking, so he couldn't help but rob him.

It doesn't matter this catastrophe, but it completely lost the Sierzhai! "
