Chapter Seventy-Three: Little Fat Man's Gunpowder Experiment

The little fat man's business was thus opened in the contempt of Yan Shu, and his method was very effective, starting with the simplest, such as making cream ice cream for sale, and if you want to ask how to sell the best cold drinks in Tokyo in the summer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's true that everyone has an ice cellar, but ordinary people don't, one of the little fat man and Zhao Miaoyuan is an arms maniac, and the other is very familiar with physics and chemistry, and the local method of making ice from saltpeter is very handy.

The most important thing is that the price of saltpeter is cheap, and the ice cellar in the East Palace is the largest ice storehouse, and the two obviously do not regard themselves as outsiders, and direct the palace maid to make cream ice cream with milk.

Zhao Zhen was a little unbearable, and the hands of some of the little chamberlains became red and swollen because of stirring the cream, but the wages given by Cai Boyu and Zhao Miaoyuan were indeed not low, which made the interior palace maids flock to them, and the two capitalist couples even bribed Sancai to help them manage, and called him the director of the production department of the Prince Ice Cream Factory!

Zhao Miaoyuan put the ice cream on the ice cubes and put it on the salon she and Wang Yuyan opened to sell, and the Song woman who loved sweets was immediately attracted by the cold and delicious and milky ice cream, and helped Zhao Miaoyuan and Wang Yuyan promote it for free.

The little fat man even ran all the car and horse shops in Tokyo, and rented all the car and horse advertising space at a price of 500 wen per month......

Zhao Zhen looked at the little fat man who had lost a lot of weight and said to Wang Yuyan, who was eating ice cream: "I can't imagine how the small shops selling ice drinks in Tokyo can still live." ”

"It's really brutal...... But I like it! Wang Yuyan said with a smile.

Of course she does! Every night, the carriage full of copper coins will enter the East Palace on time, and she and Zhao Miaoyuan will sit on the hill made of copper coins and keep pulling, muttering: "Get rich, get rich!" ”

After a while, the market regulation played a role, and many stores began to imitate the ice cream in the salon, although the taste was a little lighter, but still took a lot of market share.

It is imperative to develop and innovate, at this time, there is no patent and product protection, and only rely on quality to win reputation and customers.

Cai Boli asked the carpenter who would be the supervisor to design many molds, cute animals, strange flowers, etc., so the wooden stick ice cream was born, and the restaurants in Tokyo reached a deal with Cai Boyu.

The trustworthiness of the ancients made the little fat man sincerely praised, as long as he said it, he would never change the hexagram, all the money was settled a day without arrears, even if the small foot store had no capital turnover, the money would be settled first, so that Cai Boyu sighed: "It's good to do wholesale in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Fat Kid's ice cream has become a brand in Tokyo City, although there is no trademark on the ice cream, but the taste is quite pure, the price is relatively low, ordinary people can consume it, and there are also high-end brand barrel types, which are only sold to large stores, which is also a business opportunity seized by the owner of the store.

So the little fat man opened his own shop in Tokyo City, and his name was Snow Lotus.

The ice cellar has also been dug and is only waiting for winter to come, so that he can store a large amount of ice, after all, no matter how cheap saltpeter is, if the amount is too large, it will also burn money.

hired the shopkeeper to manage and operate the snow lotus shop, Zhao Zhen sometimes took the children to help exchange for ice cream to eat, the shopkeeper is the best professional manager in this era, as the owner of Cai Boyu was not at ease at first, but after a long time, he found out how responsible the shopkeeper named Wang Peng was.

So his laziness was committed again, and he handed over everything to the shopkeeper, and was only responsible for counting money every day, and Zhao Zhen decided to increase his arrangement of classes for the children to reduce his lazy time!

But Chen Lin suddenly appeared: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the official family has summoned you and Cai Zhengzi to play in the palace!" ”

The little fat man who was holding a bucket of ice cream on the sofa was so frightened that he almost didn't put the bucket in his arms on Chen Lin's old face......

Zhao Zhen glanced at the little fat man who was trembling, this thing must be worried about Daddy's settlement after the autumn, and it was impossible for the official family not to pay attention to the movements he made in the backyard of the East Palace.

"Now you know you're scared? I didn't listen to your warnings in the first place?! ”

"I said it was an accident, how can an arms expert like me make a low-level mistake?" The little fat man shouted with a stiff neck.

"You're embarrassed to say that there is an arms expert who lights a candle in the powder pile?!"

Chen Lin coughed dryly, he was speechless, what is the difference between lighting a candle in the powder magazine and looking for death?

"Ahem, the prince and Cai Zhengzi should hurry up and go with the old slave!" After speaking, he picked up Cai Boyu and went out.

This is the second time Cai Boyu has seen Zhao Zhen's father, he has a different kind of fear in his heart for this person who should be called uncle, Zhao Heng looked at the slightly chubby young man in front of him, it was he who offered the divine arm crossbow, and now he has made a very powerful gunpowder, I heard that this kid was almost blown away by his own gunpowder.

"Cai Boyu, when I saw you back then, I thought you were extraordinary, and now it seems that this is indeed the case!"

The little fat man immediately slapped the snake and said with a sneer: "The official's eyes are like electricity, and he has the talent of Bole!" ”

Zhao Heng saw that he didn't see anything at all, smiled and nodded at him with his hand, "Are you praising me or praising yourself?" Haha, but that's right, I didn't look away! ”

"Father Cai Boyu is like this, he has a straightforward temperament, and he is affectionate."

"It's just a bit audacious!" Chen Lin pouted and said.

The little fat man instantly said with a bitter face: "The big official wronged me again, I said it wasn't intentional, it was an accident!" ”

After speaking, he handed a small note to Zhao Zhen and said, "This is the golden gunpowder formula, you can show it to your uncle!" ”

"Bold! How did the official family become your uncle! ”

Zhao Heng took the small note and said with a smile: "It's okay, Cai Boyu is straightforward by nature, and he is the prince's companion and friend, I see that his age is like that of his own sons and nephews, and it is indeed affectionate to call his uncle!" After speaking, he looked carefully at the note in his hand.

The note reads: charcoal powder five, sulfur four, saltpeter one, saltpeter grinding for powder heating water boiled dry to pure nitrate, sulfur heated to melt and filter its impurities, continue to burn to boil, collect gas and collect the pure sulfur of the condensation side, the gunpowder made of this thing is huge, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Its sound is like thunder, its momentum is like a macro, killing the enemy is like a cracked silk, and opening a mountain is like a broken bamboo.

Zhao Heng looked at the note in his hand with bright eyes, turned his head to Zhao Zhen and said, "Is that really the case?!" ”

Zhao Zhen coughed: "You also need to have a thin and hard shell......"

"Chen Lin will be the supervisor of Du Qi! Be quick! ”

Zhao Heng was already attracted by the scene described on the note, if this gunpowder was so powerful, the Great Song Dynasty would have an extra big killing weapon when facing the Liao people and the party, and maybe even be able to reverse the situation of the defense!

Du Qi, as the prisoner who will be the prisoner, pouted his lips after seeing a small pinch of gunpowder, how powerful can this measured gunpowder be? I don't want to be as devastating as the officials described!

Seeing his disbelief, the little fat man immediately exploded on the spot: "You look down on my gunpowder? Then please ask my uncle to allow me to prove it to Du Jiancheng! ”

"Accurate!" Zhao Heng was a little excited, for him it was the happiest thing to see such an interesting experiment.
