Chongzhen, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he is known as the most frugal emperor, but in the palace, there are delicious foods in the world that he has never eaten. But this sweet potato rice porridge is indeed something he has never eaten.

There are also sweet potatoes in the palace, although there are not many, but since Mao Wenlong got this thing, Chongzhen has also tasted a lot. In Mao Wenlong's place, sweet potatoes are very ordinary things, but they are not ordinary food in the imperial court.

"This sweet potato rice porridge is really delicious! To be honest, I've eaten a lot of these sweet potatoes before, but they were all cooked and eaten. I didn't expect to be able to use this sweet potato to cook it in rice porridge together, and it is so delicious. Chongzhen's face was full of admiration, obviously he really loved this sweet potato rice porridge.

"If the emperor likes it, he might as well eat more." Mao Wenlong immediately picked up Chongzhen's bowl and wanted to add porridge for him.

"No, no, no, I've made an exception and drank three bowls, and I can't eat anymore." Chongzhen hurriedly refused, what a joke, his stomach would be so full that he couldn't hold it anymore.

Mao Wenlong smiled when he heard this, he had already found that there was not much rice porridge left in the pot. Immediately, he unceremoniously filled a bowl with a bowl, and after three or two mouthfuls of rice porridge, he invited Chongzhen to go for a walk in the garden to eat.

Chongzhen happily went, in fact, on the way he came, he had already seen earth-shaking changes in the place under Mao Wenlong's governance. What Chongzhen wanted most was to go outside and see the changes that made him curious.

"General Mao, do you think we can go outside and walk around?" Chongzhen was itching, and after walking around the garden with Mao Wenlong for a few steps, he made a request.

"The emperor wants to go out for a walk?" Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised.

"Exactly, I've seen a lot of new things along the way. And I also heard that you have something in your hand that can take people to fly in the sky, I wonder if General Mao can let me see it too? Chongzhen's face was full of expectation, and when he heard the spies' report at first, he felt that it was impossible. But later, Mao Wenlong's hot air balloons appeared in large numbers in Shandong, and many people saw it and could testify to it, even if Chongzhen didn't believe it, he had to believe it.

"Well, since the emperor is interested, then we will take a hot air balloon to the sky of Xi'an." Mao Wenlong hesitated slightly, and then readily agreed.

Chongzhen's face was full of joy: "I didn't expect that there are still things in this world that can take people to fly in the sky, I want to take a good look." ”

Chongzhen thought to himself in his heart, so he began to urge Mao Wenlong to hurry up.

Seeing Chongzhen who was so anxious, Mao Wenlong was also refreshed, and immediately asked the guards to prepare the hot air balloon treasured in the mansion to take off.

Half an hour later, the guards came to inform Mao Wenlong that the hot air balloon had been prepared and could ascend to heaven.

Mao Wenlong took Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou and Wu Chengen to the courtyard of Mao's backyard specially used to place hot air balloons.

Before the four of them arrived at the courtyard, Chongzhen saw a huge spherical thing floating in the air in the backyard, and a fierce oil stove under the sphere was spewing fire. Seeing this, Chongzhen was shocked on the spot, and Wu Chengen behind him was also seeing this thing for the first time, and he was also full of surprise.

"Your Majesty." Mao Wenlong saw Chongzhen staring at the hot air balloon stupidly and not leaving, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he called him with a chuckle.

Chongzhen suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed, "What kind of hot air balloon is this?" Can you really fly in the sky? ”

Seeing this strange hot air balloon, Chongzhen would be worried about safety.

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "This is a hot air balloon, do you want the emperor to go to the sky with me to feel it?" ”

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Go." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't say anything more, and strode into the courtyard, followed by Chongzhen and the others.

There are more than a dozen guards busy in the courtyard, and there are two guards in the hot air balloon who are adjusting the hot air balloon. When everyone saw Mao Wenlong's arrival, they stopped what they were doing and saluted Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, this hot air balloon can ascend to the sky, right?" ”

Xiao Li, the chief of the guard, who was also in charge of manipulating the hot air balloon this time, replied to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, everything is ready, and you can ascend to heaven at any time." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, ascend to heaven at once." Mao Wenlong immediately ordered.

"Yes." Xiao Li responded with a fist.

Mao Wenlong was the first to board the huge rattan basket under the hot air balloon, this hot air balloon is the largest one that Mao Wenlong has made so far, and it can carry ten people to heaven at a time without any problems.

After Chongzhen went up, his heart was beating very fast, and the hot air balloon had not moved, but he already regretted it in his heart. After all, he didn't know anything about this thing, and when he thought that he would fly into the sky later, he didn't know if there would be any accidents?

Wu Chengen was obviously scared to death, his face would be as pale as snow, and even under his extreme control, his legs still swung slightly uncontrollably.

On the other hand, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou, these two guys obviously took a hot air balloon, and they both seemed very calm about the waiting liftoff.

Everything was ready, and Mao Wenlong immediately ordered to take off. Xiao Li increased the fire of the stove, and then ordered the two guards who were traveling with him to untie the fixed cable.

The hot air balloon began to rise slowly, Chongzhen and Wu Chengen suddenly felt weak under their feet, and then they only felt that the rattan basket suddenly shook slightly, and slowly rose into the air.

Ten meters, twenty meters...... The hot air balloon soon rose to a hundred meters in the air, and then fixed at such a height and began to float sideways.

"Chief soldier, where are we going now?" After Xiao Li controlled the height of the hot air balloon, he asked Mao Wenlong for instructions.

"Just go around the sky above this Xi'an City, don't go far." Mao Wenlong replied without thinking about it.

"Yes." After Xiao Li received the order, he returned to his post.

Chongzhen grabbed the edge of the rattan basket tightly with both hands, stabilized his body, and then looked at the small stone building under his feet, as well as the pedestrians who were like ants, he was deeply shocked.

And Wu Chengen next to him is even more exaggerated than Chongzhen, Wu Chengen can no longer be described as pale. He was so frightened that his feet went limp, and he couldn't stand at all, and sat directly at the bottom of the rattan basket, almost screaming.

"What does the emperor think of the scenery like this?" Mao Wenlong took in the shock of the two, and couldn't help showing a hint of smugness on his face.

"This, this is amazing, Mr. Mao, how did you do it, you can really take people to fly in the sky?" Chongzhen had forgotten the fear in his heart at this time, and his curiosity had made him forget everything.

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and he suddenly felt that it seemed impossible to explain the principle to Chongzhen? After thinking about it for a while, he said casually: "It's nothing, it's just made up of foolishness." ”
