Chapter 121
"Do you have two pounds? I could have contributed some more money. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The black girl blinked with big eyes.
"Said no, this is not a place for you to play, hurry up." The man said impatiently, I didn't see him busy.
Heiya thought for a moment, "I'll give you half a tael of silver, and you let me make something out of a little material from you." Seeing that the man was about to refuse again, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I know you can't have Mars here, and I will definitely pay attention to safety." ”
The man thought about it, this deal was still quite cost-effective, so he nodded and agreed, "Half an hour at most, let's leave if you satisfy your curiosity, this is not a place for you to play." ”
The black girl nodded, went into the room where the materials were kept, and found saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur.
What she has to do is play with a kind of firecrackers called the Monkey when she was a child, one dime, and when it is lit, it will make a "jiu" sound, and then fly to the sky.
In fact, the principle is very simple, that is, when gunpowder is burned, it produces a violent gas, and then pushes the firecrackers up.
The man ignored her and was busy with his own affairs, but when he saw what she was doing, he looked at her curiously.
It's just that at this time, Heiya has completed the most critical step, which is to prepare gunpowder.
Although the purity of saltpeter at this time was not high, for the sake of safety, she still did not use the standard black powder formula, but reduced the amount of charcoal and added more saltpeter. This gunpowder is less powerful than black powder and is relatively safe.
Put in the lead, roll the prepared gunpowder thickly with straw paper, then seal the upper mouth tightly, and the lower mouth slowly shrinks to leave a gas outlet, and then tie it to a thin long bamboo skewer.
Heiya was afraid that she would not succeed once, so she made a few more.
"Come on, I'll show you something to watch." The black girl took the prepared simple sky monkey and beckoned to the man next to her.
The man didn't want to go, but he couldn't bear to be curious, so he followed the black girl out of the courtyard.
The black girl stuck a monkey in the ground and said to the man, "Come on." ”
The man nodded, motioned for the black girl to stand farther away, and then took out the fire fold and lit the fuse.
Ben didn't expect a little girl to make anything, but he was attracted by her methodical movements, and had some curiosity, thinking that it would be good as long as it could make a sound, but he didn't expect that the thing he was lighting would make a whistle and fly into the sky.
The man was ready to smoke or explode, but he was taken aback by this unexpected result, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Heiya with fanatical eyes, "How did you do this?" “
The black girl smiled and took out another one, "I haven't played it for a long time, you can order it again." ”
The man took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, resisting the urge to take it apart, and stuck it on the ground to light the fuse.
This time he was mentally prepared, and after the man finished ordering, he took a few steps back and watched with wide eyes.
I saw that the lead was quickly burned, and the thing called the Sky Monkey let out another chirp, and then I didn't know where it flew.
"It's called a monkey, it's fun." The black girl waited for him to finish reading, took the rest in his hand, and kept these few to go back to coax his younger siblings to play.
"I'll give you two catties of saltpeter, and you tell me how to do this." The man turned his head and said.
"You're embarrassed to coax my little girl." The black girl stared and pretended to be incredible, the man's face turned red, this skill must be a secret recipe that people don't pass on, I thought that the black girl was young and ignorant and easy to coax, but I didn't expect people to point it out directly, so that I was really a little embarrassed.
"I just want to buy two catties of saltpeter, you can sell me now" The black girl shook the remaining Sky Monkey in her hand, so that you are impatient with me, so I won't tell you, and I will kill you in a hurry.
Heiya thought cautiously, she admitted that she did it on purpose, on the one hand, in order to retaliate for the bad attitude of this person towards her just now, and secondly, she wanted to show off.
Finally bought what she wanted to buy, and regardless of the anxious appearance of the man in the back scratching her head and scratching her ears, the black girl hummed a little song and went back.
The man knocked on his head for a long time, scolding while knocking, "People are behind you, you don't know how to look back a few more times, stupid you forget it." ”
Then he began to look everywhere for the sky monkey who didn't know where he had flown to, hoping to find the secret of flying into the sky.
Hei Yacai doesn't care if he can make it or not, if he really studies it, it's also someone else's ability, and she doesn't want to make a fortune with this.
When I got home, I went to the kitchen and prepared to make ice cream for Xiaoya.
There is no electric whisk, Heiya's arms are sour, and there is no milk, so she uses peach juice instead, and the peach-flavored ice cream should be delicious.
The stirred solution is poured into a custom-made small tin bucket, which is faster than the temperature transfer of ceramics and there is no danger of freezing and cracking.
Put water in a large basin, then put a small iron bucket in it, and add a large amount of saltpeter to the large basin.
Heiya hadn't tried to do it before, and she couldn't grasp the amount, so she could only add it slowly.
Then I saw the water slowly get cooler, freeze, and finally freeze.
Stir the solution in the small bucket again and cover it with something, and the black girl didn't care anymore, anyway, now that the weather is cold, the ice in the basin won't melt for a while.
The big-hearted black girl threw the basin on the stone table at the kitchen door and went back to the yard to endorse it.
Jing sewed the quilt for a day, looked up at the sky, the children were coming back, so they stood up and rubbed their eyes, the eldest daughter-in-law was busy embroidering the dowry, and she was cooking during this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the kitchen door, I saw a basin outside.
"Who put the tub here?" Jing thought to himself, and walked over to see what was inside.
"Mother, why is the water freezing in this weather?" Jing Shi was startled, and went up to touch it, it was indeed frozen.
It's not that cold now, it's not winter yet.
What's going on!
The phenomenon that was strong beyond her comprehension caused goosebumps on Jing's body, and a cold air rose from the soles of her feet and rushed to the top of her head.
"My mother, this can't be haunted, or God has warned us." Jing turned his head and ran, stumbling in a panic.
The black girl who had just gone out saw her aunt's hasty back, and looked at her strangely for a while, "What's the matter, running so fast." ”
After thinking about it, I didn't have the slightest clue in my head, so I didn't pay attention to this stubble anymore, until I walked to the kitchen door and saw the big frozen basin, and I suddenly remembered that my aunt couldn't be frightened by seeing the ice in the basin.
In ancient times, when there was a lack of scientific common sense and superstition, the weather was still warm and the water froze, no less than we saw a ghost at night, which happened when we knew it was impossible.
I guess my aunt was frightened.
The black girl thought guiltily, and she didn't bother to look at her ice cream, so she hurriedly chased after her.
Jing felt very scared, but he didn't want to scare the child, so he had to go into the room and hug the quilt and shiver.
When people encounter fearful things, they will subconsciously run to a place where they feel safe, so Heiya went directly to her aunt's house.
"Are you there, concubine?" The black girl knocked on the door and asked.
"It's a black girl!" Jing opened the door tremblingly, the black girl has a smart brain and knows strange things, she told the black girl that it shouldn't scare her.
"Heiya, the concubine told you, I went to the kitchen just now......"
Before she could finish speaking, the black girl took her hand. "I'm sorry, I made that pot of ice, didn't it scare you." (To be continued.) )
