Chapter 142: No One Can Escape the Law of True Fragrance
"Gross!" Mrs. Lang Bar clutched her chest and retched, and he looked at Ye Kai in surprise.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, this... Isn't this a snail? This is not something that a nobleman can eat, and even a poor farmer rarely tries to eat snails! ”
Ye Kai looked at the delicate woman, who was the lover of the late King Louis XV and one of Queen Mary's close friends.
A few years later, Queen Mary was captured by the revolutionaries, and Madame Rambal tried to rescue the queen, but unfortunately failed, and finally on the eve of the beheading of the king and queen, Madame Langbal was also tortured to death by the revolutionaries, and was one of the few true friends of Queen Mary.
"Madame, few people try it, because they don't know how to cook it, the French snails are delicious, they are definitely very superb, you can try a little, it tastes absolutely beyond your imagination!"
Ye Kaile persuaded him, not only Mrs. Langbal, but as soon as this baked snail came up, many people frowned, and some of them retched like Mrs. Langbal.
However, Ye Kai knew that these French people could not escape the almighty law of true fragrance, and they had eaten all the snails in France in the later generations, and finally reached the point where they had to go to Spain to import snails for artificial breeding.
The French don't eat baked snails, who believes it?
Madame Rambal shook her head uncomfortably, not even having the courage to pick up a fork
Just when the atmosphere was in an awkward state, two intoxicated voices rang out, and everyone looked back to see that King Louis XVI and his younger brother, the Count of Provence, were digging with their forks, and the sound of intoxicating food was made by him, and they were indeed brothers.
"Shiitake mushrooms, butter, diced ham, with this delicious snail meat, it is so delicious, this is definitely the most delicious thing I have ever tasted, nothing compares to it!"
Seeing that Louis XVI and the Count of Provence had already eaten, Queen Mary, who loved food, did not hesitate, directly picked up a snail and tasted it carefully, and counted the ingredients used in it while tasting it.
Madame Pollina glanced at the queen who enjoyed it very much, as the queen's best friend, and the friend who was best at lying on the queen's body to suck blood, Pollinave's trick was to follow the queen closely, and he would do whatever the queen did, everything was to please the queen!
So although she also hates things like snails, but the queen eats them all, can she not follow up?
Gently pinching a snail, Mrs. Polyna took a deep breath and dug out the snail meat from her shell with a slender two-edged fork.
"Huh?!" As soon as she took a bite to eat the snail meat, which was mixed with all kinds of wonderful flavors, Polinave's eyes lit up, and there was no strange smell she had imagined, but the crispness of the shiitake mushrooms, the salty aroma of the ham, the fullness of the butter, and the tenderness and chewiness of the snails, which hit her taste buds in waves, and almost instantly, Mrs. Polina fell in love with the dish.
In fact, she had eaten snails when she was there, and often when the family was poor and had nothing to eat, her mother would collect some snails and quietly cook them for them to eat.
It's just that.. The disgusting smell of earth, not to mention how unpalatable, was a nightmare of Madame Pollina's childhood, but the snail in her hand completely shattered her stereotype.
"It smells so good!" Madame Pollina exclaimed heartily.
The French nobles present glanced at each other, the king and queen and the Count of Provence were delicious, it shouldn't be fake, right?
。。。。
Lavoisier was a little apprehensive, he didn't know what was going on with this celestial Serris, who had recently gained a lot of fame?
Since that dinner, the Ceris who were already rumored to be in France have become even more famous, and you must know that the dozens of nobles who attended the dinner party are dozens of super propagandists!
Either because they were really shocked, or because of their face, they deliberately promoted the dinner party to be very high-end, and the high governor was forced to be four or five stories high.
As a result, it was only six years before the dinner, and even the Britons on the other side of the Channel, and even the Queen's brother, the Archduke of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and Emperor Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire, wrote to ask the French nobles what kind of delicacies they had tasted at the dinner.
"Monsieur Lavoisier, I've kept you waiting, it's too crowded!"
Just as Lavoisier was thinking, Ye Kai, the Seris man in his mouth, had already hurried over, followed by two Seris guards with fire guns hanging from their waists and holding sharp blades.
Lavoisier's laboratory in Paris, where he was born into a family of lawyers who were very wealthy and left him a large inheritance when his mother died when he was five years old.
Therefore, Lavoisier's laboratories in Paris belong to the kind of high-end laboratories with advanced facilities and complete materials.
Ye Kai visited Lavoisier's laboratory with a reason, thanks to the chemistry in high school, although there were some things he couldn't understand, but occasionally one or two thoughts floating out of his mouth still made Lavoisier's eyes light up.
Gradually, Lavoisier finally stopped seeing Ye Kai as a mysterious Seris nobleman, or a good cook, and he began to think that Ye Kai should also be a good chemist.
After pretending to visit, Ye Kai said to Lavoisier: "Antoine, I know the method of making an extremely powerful explosive from the ancient books of Seris.
But I don't have anything in chemistry to repeat this experiment, and I think you are the greatest chemist of our time, and you can repeat it. ”
"An extremely powerful explosive?" Lavoisier became interested, inventing and discovering new things was his favorite, not because he could win a prize, but because Nobel would not be born for 50 years!
He was interested, because if Ye Kai's thing was true, it would represent a lot of wealth.
"If, if it is convenient, may His Excellency the Marquis reveal it? I happen to be a little empty, we can start giving it a try now! ”
Lavoisier was still a little embarrassed, after all, this was Ye Kai's knowledge, and it stands to reason that his request was a bit rude.
"No problem!" Ye Kai nodded, he didn't care whose knowledge it was, he had countless golden fingers in his head, and he always had to find someone to practice.
What he wants Lavoisier to make now is Nobel's famous stunt, nitroglycerin!
The method is not very complicated, that is, the use of concentrated nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid and glycerin, the heart of the refining and processing, and finally obtain a new glycerin, an extremely unstable liquid explosive, the explosion power is at least dozens to more than a hundred times that of the current brown gunpowder.
"Concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, it's easy to find, there are a lot of them in my laboratory, as for your refining and processing, it's not that difficult, but are you sure this thing will explode?"
Lavoisier looked at Ye Kai suspiciously, but he immediately figured it out, "It seems that it can indeed explode, but are you sure it has that much power?" ”
Nima, nitroglycerin is not very powerful? Ye Xingxin said: "Believe me, Mr. Lavoisier, this gunpowder, uh, it's liquid, let's call it explosives!"
This explosive is very powerful, I recommend that the amount tested in the laboratory should not exceed five grams, maybe one or two grams, remember that this thing is very unstable, you must be careful! ”
"Okay!" Lavoisier looked at Ye Kai with a serious face, "I'll try my best, if I can really make a powerful explosive, this patent will be shared by us, let's open it three, you seven and I three, okay?" ”
Ye Kai nodded without hesitation, making nitroglycerin is the first step, how to make this guy stable is the most important thing, and there are many more when using Lavoisier!
