Chapter 40: The Idea of Gunpowder

"One sulfur, two nitro, three charcoal..."

In the candle-lit princess's bedroom, Wu Yueya muttered, explosives, explosives, this thing can't be completely taken out for the time being, it must be studied quietly, and after paying attention, Wu Yueya drew the drawings of artillery and mines, but because the brush is not easy to control, she can only draw a prototype.

As a firearms enthusiast, plus she is a master of design herself, she has studied some retro things, and it is very easy to draw some weapon blueprints.

On the second day, Wu Yueya got up early, because of her shift, this time it was Hua Chuer who followed Wu Yueya's side.

Asked Yu Chaoen to drive the horse, Wu Yueya and Hua Chu'er got into the carriage, and she planned to go to Xifang to have a look.

At the same time, the Jin State Mansion.

"Li Guogong, Li Guogong, this is the mysterious jade light pearl of the Western Regions, you must save me, I offended the princess who protects the country..."

Li Linfu frowned, his black and white beard trembled, and he was slightly angry in his heart, Yuguangzhu couldn't save you, but his mouth was relieved, "Di Geng, as the superintendent of the imperial history, it is your responsibility to impeach hundreds of officials, I believe Your Majesty will definitely forgive you!" ”

"yes, yes," Givin said as well.

Di Geng cried and grabbed Li Linfu's old leg, but he didn't let go.

After a long stalemate like this, Di Geng let go of his hand in despair under Li Linfu's comfort, he knew that he was finished, and Li Guogong was unwilling to protect himself.

Di Geng walked out of the Jin State Mansion, his chest was blocked, he clenched the green sleeve robe, boarded the carriage and horse, turned around and finally came to the Jinxiu Building, ordered a first-class Qinglou woman, in the room for a while, from time to time fists and feet, the official was not good, don't you dare to beat a prostitute out of anger, out of anger, in a good mood, lost a few times to the old bustard, then out of the splendid building, sit in the car home.

Wu Yueya sat in the carriage, looked at the pedestrians on the side of the road, and came to Xifang. There are more Hu merchants in Xifang, and they are also very lively, there are tricks, and there are big stones on her chest, but she is not here to watch the play.

One is because I am going to open a restaurant and do a field trip. Wu Yueya writes an article every night, which is actually recalling the content of the old version of Journey to the West that she watched when she was a child, and then processing it herself. The name of the restaurant, Wu Yueya also thought of it, and it was called Journey to the West.

The other is to buy saltpeter in the pharmacy, after all, saltpeter is the raw material for making gunpowder, and similarly, Wu Yueya also asked Yu Chaoen, there is still such a thing as nitrate, and the ancients used it to disinfect and treat sores.

After getting out of the car, Wu Yueya saw a group of big-nosed, bearded-faced foreigners burning a fire on the ground, performing various acrobatics, attracting many people to watch, one of them took a knife to cut his abdomen, but the knife went in and out, but the abdomen was not damaged at all, which surprised the pedestrians, and many people stayed to watch. Wu Yueya stood on the steps of a wine shop, watched the performance of the person inside, and couldn't help but applaud in amazement.

"This distinguished guest, I am the shopkeeper of this wine shop, and I invite you to sit inside." At this time, a middle-aged man with a turban and blue eyes said politely.

Wu Yueya turned to look at the smiling Mai Ti, and was shocked, this kind of dress, decorated with an Arabic headscarf, was dressed in a Tang dress, quite curious, "Where did you come from?" ”

"I'm from the black-clothed big food country outside the desert of the Western Regions, and I'm Zhang Gui who buys and sells wine shops, uh-huh, shopkeeper!" Maiti has been here for a long time, and there are many people who have seen it, and this kind of dress is accompanied by eunuchs, who must be princesses or royal relatives, and their status is noble, so they hurriedly ran out to greet them.

"Okay," Wu Yueya laughed, and after responding, she took Chu'er and Yu Chaoen into the liquor shop.

"Hey, please, honored guest," Mai Mai Ti smiled enthusiastically and welcomed Wu Yue Aya in.

This guy is quite interesting, Wu Yueya looked around, it was similar to an ordinary hostel, but there was a storyteller who was lecturing in the store, and what he said was all about the streets. Wu Yueya also listened to it a little, and the people talked about it were also funny and humorous, although they were all inconsequential things, of course, some current affairs were occasionally inserted, such as the impeachment of a certain official, or how magnificent the princess's mansion was.

Wu Yueya shook the wine in the bowl, and she was fascinated by it, and was amused from time to time, and asked Yu Chaoen to reward a few copper coins.

Hua Chu'er sat with her, Yu Chaoen stood with her, and Wu Yueya didn't bother to care, anyway, this little eunuch was not honest, and some miscellaneous things could still be sent to Yu Chaoen. Taking a sip of wine, Wu Yueya found that the taste of this wine was much lighter, and called out, "Sell and sell the shopkeeper!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Chaoen replied to the trading that was sorting out the accounts, and the trading mentioned hurriedly walked over, "What do you have to say?" ”

Wu Yueya shook the red wine in the bowl, slightly dissatisfied, "You have water in this wine?" ”

"Hey, hey, that, don't hide from the guests, the villain's wine is much cheaper than elsewhere, and there are many guests, so I added some water, if the guests feel bad, the transaction can be changed for free to the guests..."

At this time, Yu Chaoen was angry and scolded, "This is the princess who protects the country, you dare to give the princess a wine with water!" Outrageous?! ”

"Ah, buy and sell the princess! I also hope that the princess will forgive her sins, the wine here has always been like this, the price is more close to the people, and the income of the wine shop is considered, so a certain amount of water will be added to it. Maiti hurriedly knelt down, for fear that the princess would be angry and shut down his liquor shop.

"Forget it, in fact, I'm you, and I'll do the same, you get what you pay for!" After Wu Yueya finished speaking, she picked up the bowl and drank the wine, got up and left here.

Walking in the direction of the pharmacy, when she came to the pharmacy, Wu Yueya found that an old man in gray was practicing medicine for free at the cloth stall, and walked up to take a look, this old man had a charitable face, and his white hair hung down to his shoulders, whether it was poor or rich, or beggars, they were lining up to seek medical treatment in order.

Beside the old man stood a man on the left, holding a large wooden stick in his hand, looking ahead, always standing motionless. On the right side of the old man is a man, helping the old doctor, constantly writing prescriptions, this man has the appearance of being in his twenties, Wu Yueya guessed, this guy is either an apprentice or a relative.

No matter how much, when he walked into the pharmacy, he found a fat merchant with a burden discussing something with the owner of the pharmacy, but he quickly retreated in frustration.

Wu Yueya heard it clearly, and it seemed that the merchant wanted to pay more than a penny for the price of these two loads of saltpeter, but the shop owner disagreed, and the negotiation collapsed.

"Stop!" Wu Yueya saw that this fat man was about to leave with a sad face, so she shouted.

The fat man stopped and looked at Wu Yueya suspiciously, looking at Wu Yueya's dress, she should be a rich man.

Wu Yueya walked up and picked up a white stone, knocked it, smelled it, and then asked, "Where did you get so much saltpeter?" ”

"Hehe, this lady, I can't say this, could it be that you have a crush on this kind of thing? The price is absolutely fair, one penny..."

Before the fat man finished selling, Wu Yueya interrupted him, "I heard what you just said in it, you sell five to that shop owner, he doesn't want it, do you think I will ask for one penny?" ”

The fat man put down his burden, smiled wryly, and did not know what to say for a moment.

"That's it, Yu Chaoen, you can take him back to the princess's mansion first, I want all these stones."

After Wu Yueya finished speaking, the fat man was so excited that he knelt down and bowed, this turned out to be the princess, he apologized that he was clumsy and didn't recognize it, and asked the princess to forgive him.

Wu Yueya naturally won't blame, it's just that this guy can fool people, and his impression is not very good.

After the fat guy reported his name, there was a noisy sound at the door, and Wu Yue Aya walked towards the door when she heard the sound.

"Go away, go away, my young son wants to see a doctor, you idlers and others will get out of the way! This is Li Jiulang of the Jin State Mansion! It's all long-eyed, don't get in the way! ”

Li Jiulang, whose eyes were red and his face was blue, let the dog's legs stand up and hit the team, especially the young women. Li Jiulang bumped into the oil and rubbed it, the salty pig stretched out his hand, and laughed hehehe, which caused the people next to him to look sideways, and the long line soon became chaotic.

The old doctor frowned angrily at the sound, but could only sigh deeply, stretch out his hands and shake his sleeves. Sun Yimin, who was following his father, also frowned, this guy is here again, and every time he comes, he will make his father unhappy.

The man who was guarding Sun Ruowen's side looked at Sun Yimin and made a look, if he wanted him to go up and beat that guy. Sun Yimin shook his head, this guy couldn't be provoked, sighed, and continued to write the prescription, but the words on the paper became more and more violent and scribbled, writing and writing, suddenly stopped writing, and the voice he heard was a scream of pain, and he hurriedly looked up.

As soon as Wu Yueya walked out of the shop, she saw a rich boy in a purple robe being carried towards her, with a cloudy smile on her face.

Wu Yue said in her heart, this guy stretched out his hand and was ready to rub oil.

Wu Yueya stopped Hua Chu'er, didn't bother to avoid it, and flew up and kicked her in the chest, kicking her away.

Li Jiulang followed the two dogs and fell backwards and rolled out a few meters away. The two dogs had good legs, but they fell heavily on the ground, and this Li Jiulang, who shouted and coughed, fell into the stinky ditch.

Lu Zhishen uprooted the weeping willows, and this Li Jiulang was stuck in the stinky ditch with his feet upside down, one more fierce than the other.

The two dogs didn't have time to scold, and when they saw that Childe was planted in the black mud in the stinky ditch, they didn't care about the stench, so they went up and pulled Childe out.

Li Jiulang took a bite of the mud, his whole body was stinky, and he spit into the ditch while covering his chest.

"Thank you, woman."

"yes, thank you, Woman."

"Well done, this guy deserves it..."

When Yu Chaoen saw that the people next to him thought of Wu Yueyan and thanked him, he was also honored, held his head high, and was about to say that this was the princess of the country, but when Hua Chu'er pushed forward and fell into the mud. The fat man carrying saltpeter swallowed his saliva, is this princess so fierce? Obviously she looks like just a delicate woman.

Wu Yueya was too lazy to look at it, and turned to the old doctor who was looking this way. The old doctor laughed heartily and stood up to ask Wu Yueya to come over.

"Please sit down, why don't I take the pulse of this woman," Sun Ruowen stroked his beard and laughed.

"Hey, my little lady is not sick, what kind of pulse," Hua Chu'er heard that the good intentions of others directly regarded as bad intentions, and frowned two willow eyebrows.

"I can't say that, he is Sun Yishen, curing all diseases, everyone in Chang'an City knows that Sun Yishen is the doctor of the people, and he sets up a stall here every day to treat us poor people for free."

"yes, yes."

Seeing Hua Chu'er so rude, the patient next to him opened his mouth to defend himself. Hua Chu'er also made some sense when she heard this, so she could only let Wu Yueya sit down and check her pulse, but she still felt a little awkward, so she looked away.

"Hahahaha, the pulse is stable, the qi and blood are also very stable, this woman is healthy, there is nothing to be missing." As soon as Sun Ruo heard this, everyone on the lookers cheered. Only Hua Chu'er was sullen and muttered softly that my little lady is not sick, and you are sick! Hum!

Wu Yueya stood up and thanked Dr. Sun for his kind words, and then received a health prescription to nourish the body, thanked them again, and chatted for a while and then stopped bothering, after all, there are still so many people to see a doctor in the back.

Wu Yueya learned through small talk and the 'interjection' of the people around her that this Doctor Sun is known as the god of medicine, and he will set up a stall here regularly every afternoon to see people, and he is a rare good doctor.

Wu Yueya also thinks that this person is good, he does good deeds, it is rare, this kind of person, in this kind of world.

"Do you know who my grandfather was? Ahem! ”

Li Jiulang retched and continued to roar, "Do you know who I am? ”

Wu Yueya looked at the guy who was half black, and disdainful in her heart, who cares who your grandfather is, you are a grandson! He raised his fist and raised it towards the two dog-legged men.

Those two dog-legged men had never seen such a fierce woman, and now they couldn't provoke others, so they could only endure the huge smell and lift Li Jiulang and run away.

However, Li Jiulang was held up and did not forget to shout that I am the grandson of the prime minister of the dynasty, let Wu Yueya wait well, I will remember you or something. Wu Yue Aya didn't bother to pay attention to it, and took the small merchant who sold saltpeter back to the princess's mansion.
