Listening to the cheers of the people in his ears, Todd looked at the flower pot in front of him, wiped his forehead with his hand, and wiped a handful of sweat.

Luckily, things are going well.

The flower pot in front of you is a specially made utensil, which is divided into three layers: outside, middle and inside. The inner layer is a copper pipe placed vertically with a small hole at the bottom ring, the part where the middle layer and the outer layer are connected is sealed and welded with iron sheets to pile up the soil, and the iron sheets are about one centimeter away from the outer shell of the flower pot, forming a hidden outer layer, which is hollow inside and leads directly to the bottom of the inner layer.

Before getting ready, Todd went to the beach and found a natural sponge called "Zoofiton", which is a simple multicellular marine animal with a honeycomb-like structure, tough and compact needle bones, large pores, fine distribution, and strong water absorption. In ancient Rome, it was widely used as a bath bomb for bathing.

This natural sponge is dried and squeezed, layered into the bottom of the inner copper tube, and then the buds and young leaves of the plants are placed on top of the sponge, and then the soil is carefully laid in the middle layer and above the inner layer.

During the performance, as long as the water is poured along the interlayer of the outer layer, the water will flow into the bottom of the pot and be absorbed by the sponge through the small holes of the copper pipe. When the sponge expands, it pushes the buds and young leaves upwards, penetrating the thin layer of soil, and looks like it is growing fast.

As for the small blue flowers that bloom when the buds meet the water, this preparation is a little more troublesome.

1. Sphalerite is forged into zinc oxide in the air, and then reduced with carbon to obtain zinc powder.

Second, the iodine-containing salt is used as the raw material for refining, and water is added to mix it into a saturated solution; then a large amount of sulfur dioxide is introduced into the salt solution to reduce the high-valent iodine in the iodate; chloroform is added to the solution to extract the elemental iodine from the mixed solution; and finally the discolored upper liquid is distilled with a distillation flask to obtain elemental iodine.

3. Use tweezers or a small wooden stick to dip the moistened flour and evenly coat it on the inside of the buds.

Fourth, a small amount of zinc powder and iodine tablets in equal proportions (this step is extremely critical, and repeated experiments are required to determine the amount), evenly stir into powder, seal it in wax paper, open up, and put it into the flower bud.

When water is poured into the buds, iodine and zinc will be catalyzed by the water to produce zinc iodide, and a large amount of heat will be released to break the flour-bonded petals. The high temperature will evaporate some of the iodine and water into gas, which looks like the effect of "holy mist". Iodine vapor stains the white flour and causes the latter to turn blue.

The trick of "rapid growth of plants" is not difficult, but the difficult thing is the effect of "holy mist and flowering" in the back.

Luckily, everything went well.

Covering the pot with a white cloth, Todd raised his hands to the crowd, their voices lowered, but the excitement on their faces did not subside.

"Guys, I have an idea. The priest held the cross on his chest with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other: "Since Heavenly Father has blessed Twilight, why don't we use this favor to improve our lives a little?"

People's eyes lit up, and they understood what the priest meant.

But there are still timid believers who ask anxiously, "Won't we be punished by heaven for personal gain by borrowing God's favor?"

Todd nodded, pretending to ponder, "You're right, but if we use this gift to reap a little bit of benefit by helping our brothers and sisters who are in the most suffering, I don't think Heavenly Father will blame us." ”

Seeing the priest turn his face to the old farmer Sassoon, there were smart people in the audience who probably guessed a thing or two.

"I'm going to set up a 'Twilight Mutual Aid Fund'. ”

"Twilight West Mutual Aid Fund"?

Hearing this new term, everyone looked puzzled.

Todd clapped his hands in the audience, and the two catechumens carried a large basket onto the high platform. He took something out of the basket and showed it to everyone.

That's like ......

Bone?

To be precise, it looks like a pigeon's leg bone.

"There are a total of one hundred holy bones here, one for each silver moon, and anyone can buy them, and there is no limit to the number. ”

It costs a silver moon to buy a bone? You can buy a lot of this kind of thing with a bronze star. The crowd, full of question marks, waited for the priest's next words.

"Anyone who buys a reliary, their name, and the amount they buy, will be registered in the church and become a member of the Twilight Mutual Aid Fund. The 100 Silver Moons from the sale of the relics will be used as the principal of the farmers in Duxi Town. The rewards they receive from the Father's gifts are distributed proportionally according to the number of bones in each person. ”

Seeing that many people in the audience still looked confused, Todd sighed: "I'll give you an example, I spent a silver moon today to buy a holy bone. In the future, the farmers in Duxi Town will use the 100 silver months raised as the principal to earn 200 silver moons, so I can get two silver moons. ”

Most people understood, but more questions were raised.

"What if I buy a holy bone and then want to sell it?"

Todd: "The Relic is allowed to trade freely, but the trader must be a resident of Twilight, and when the trade is complete, he must go to the church and re-register. ”

"How long does it take to get a return after I buy it?"

Todd: "It's hard to say exactly when, but the first return should be within three months. ”

"I want to buy it, but I don't have enough money at home to make up a silver month......"

Todd: "You can find your friends, co-finance, and subscribe to a reliary. By the way, remember to find someone to give you how much money you each paid and make a notarization. ”

At this time, a merchant in the crowd stood up, touched his head and asked, "I bought the holy bones, and the money was lent to these farmers, if I lost it, what should I do?"

Immediately after the question, the people looked at him with anger and disdain, which made the merchant immediately realize that he had said the wrong thing: "Look at my mouth!

Seeing that the people had no more questions, Todd raised the bone in his hand and said loudly, "Okay, then I announce that the subscription for the Holy Bone of the 'Twilight Mutual Aid Fund' has officially begun. ”

The square fell silent, and no one spoke.

The people of Dusk Town, although the conversation just now was in full swing, when it was time to pay the money, you look at me and I look at you, no one dares to be this bird.

Todd sighed softly, he also knew the difficulties of everyone in the audience. A silver moon doesn't seem like much, but now when everyone is using money, where is there so much spare money. Besides, for this new way of raising "mutual aid funds", even with the previous "miracles" as a foreshadowing, coupled with their own verbal incitement, once people really calm down, the effect will naturally slowly decline.

It seems that the first one to stand up can only be himself.

Todd put down his bones and was about to speak.

Two voices in the audience sounded at the same time.

"I'm going to buy ten!"

"I'll buy fifty. ”

Todd followed the sound and saw that the person who wanted to buy ten sticks was Karin, and the one who wanted to buy fifty sticks was actually ...... Richell.
