Chapter 639: Weapons

"The real thing is very easy to use, but I don't know how to use it more conveniently" Zhao Liu took out another "Forty-two Lines Bible" to show people, and then he said: "It is said that this book is made of this thing." ”

They took turns to pass it on, needless to say anything else, just because of the size of the font, it was impossible to write such a small character in Daqin. Jiang Yingxue knows how important the "Forty-two Lines of the Bible" will be in the future, but Jiang Yingxue must not say it now.

Ruan Jingtian said with a solemn expression: "If this is the case, you should study this machine carefully. I'm afraid it will be useful in the future! ”

No one refuted Nguyen Ching Tien's words, because it was.

Zhao Liu said, "Not only that, but you all come and have a look." It is said to be a weapon used in war. ”

A few people went over to look. Jiang Yingxue saw that it was a rifle and a cannon. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of later generations, it is definitely the most advanced at this time. Zhao Liu asked someone to demonstrate the use of a rifle.

A secret guard came to the gun. He didn't know what switch to press, and the bullets quickly came out, and a bottle in the distance instantly turned to pieces.

Its power is so powerful that people look at it and are even more shocked than they are at the machine used to print things. If this thing is used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be very strong.

Zhao Liu thought for a while and said, "If those people beat me Daqin one day, we may not get any benefits. ”

Ruan Suhua nodded and said, "Thanks to our timely discovery, we can now remedy it in time." I think it would be better to have someone dedicated to the study of these weapons. ”

"Of course, we still have a lot to do." "Although we have seen these things, after all, we have no experience. So, when our ship goes out to sea, it will be more convenient if we can bring some foreigners who can make these things. ”

"Not only that, but in fact, we can send people abroad to learn these things." Liu Qingfeng said suddenly.

Jiang Yingxue remembers that China has done the same thing in history, and this is really a good way. Looking at Zhao Liu's face, he also agreed.

Zhao nodded and said, "These are for sure. The fourth brother is coming in the next few days, and we will discuss it in detail later. ”

A few people had no opinion, seeing these preparing to leave, Jiang Yingxue glanced at it and saw a small bag containing cocoa, and couldn't help but stop.

Zhao Liu thought that Jiang Yingxue was just curious, and said: "This is a foreigner who gave it when he left, saying that it was their tea, but he didn't know how to use it." ”

Jiang Yingxue nodded and said, "Can I take it back and try it?" "Think of the hot cocoa and coffee of her descendants, maybe she can make it herself.

Jiang Yingxue was interested in the cocoa brought from the docks, even though she didn't know what to do.

Aunt Cai looked at these black things and didn't know what to do. After all, she had never dealt with them before, so she had to ask Jiang Yingxue: "Madam, I don't know how to deal with this thing." ”

Jiang Yingxue took a look, only she still had a little experience here. In her previous life, she used to make hot chocolate, but at that time, the chocolate was made from cocoa powder, not cocoa beans.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yingxue said, "Grind the beans into powder first, and then get some milk." ”

Chang Ning is not as clingy as he was when he was a child, and he will drink some milk by himself. So Liu Qingfeng didn't know where to get a cow. This morning's milk steamed bun is made of this kind of milk.

Although I don't know what Jiang Yingxue wants to do, at this time, people still do what Jiang Yingxue says. Now it seems that his wife will make trouble.

Jiang Yingxue ignored these people's ideas and went to find someone to wash a small copper pot to boil milk.

Jiang Yingxue looked at the ground cocoa powder and thought it was very similar to the previous cocoa powder. She felt that her approach should be the right one, so she took some out and put them in the milk. Soon, the kitchen was filled with the smell of burnt burnt.

Jiang Yingxue smiled, this should be a success. She stirs with a spoon to see that it has turned brown, then adds the sugar again, stirs well, and takes it out.

Jiang Yingxue smelled the fragrance, and she tasted a little. It was really delicious, she hadn't drunk it in a long time.

Aunt Cai also smelled the smell. Although she thought it was strange, it was undeniable that it tasted good.

Jiang Yingxue said to Jiang Yingxue: "Come and taste it, this taste should be okay." ”

Aunt Cai was not pretentious, she took a sip and said, "Madam, this taste is not really wrong, it is a little bitter and a little sweet, and the most important thing that cannot be ignored is the burnt fragrance, but if it is cold, it will not taste good." You can drink this in the winter. ”

Jiang Yingxue felt that it was like this, and she didn't plan to make this kind of thing in the summer. Although hot cocoa is delicious, Jiang Yingxue also likes almond tea.

Jiang Yingxue said: "Take out these things, put them in the teacup, and send them to the master to taste." ”

After reading those things, a few people went to the other courtyard again, and ate lunch here. At this time, they were chatting in the study!

Jiang Yingxue walked over with this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "Overseas tea, you can taste it." ”

Then put the teacups in front of everyone one by one to see if they like it. A few people took a sip, and then Jiang Yingxue watched Liu Qingfeng put it down and raised her eyebrows. Liu Qingfeng doesn't like to drink this kind of thing. After all, it has a sweet taste.

Ruan Suhua said: "I think this is probably what you girls like more." ”

Ruan Jingtian tasted it, took another sip, and said, "I think it's good, I don't know how you did it." ”

Jiang Yingxue said with a smile: "If grandpa likes it, I'll tell my grandfather this way back." But I think this kind of thing is just for freshness, I'm afraid I'll get tired of drinking too much. ”

Ruan Jingtian waved his hand and said, "I don't see much of that." You can keep it. You'll tell me when you bring it back next time. ”

Zhao Liu didn't like this kind of thing very much, so he took a sip and said, "This is the same as the almond tea here in winter." If you like it, you can bring more next time, I don't know if you can grow this thing here. ”

Jiang Yingxue felt that it was not good. Cocoa grows in hot and subtropical regions, so if it's in Hainan, it shouldn't matter.

It was just an episode, and several people talked about weapons again. These people were interested in rifles and cannons in contrast to lead typography.

When Ruan Jingtian knew that the main ingredient of these bullets was gunpowder, he sighed and said, "This gunpowder is only used here for alchemy. And overseas, it has become a weapon of war there, and I think we should pay attention to it. ”

Zhao Liu nodded and said, "I think so too." At first, I just thought they must be worse than us. Now it seems that there are many places that surpass us. After 200 years of sea ban, what have we missed? ”

"Now that we've found out, it's not too late for us to get to grips with it. I'm sure we can keep up. Liu Qingfeng said.

"I also think so, the next time I go to sea, I decided to advance, it's better to do it early than late." Zhao Liu said.

Several people had no objections, and Jiang Yingxue felt that she didn't need to stay here anymore, so she went to play with Chang Ning.
