Chapter 3 Nitrate Production

Wow~

Another basket of drenched pig manure was poured into the corner of the wall, and the stench erupted with the water vapor, covering the small half of Zihe Street in the blink of an eye, and passers-by all hid their faces and walked quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few of the laborers seemed to have no sense of smell, and with numb expressions, they carried the cage drawer back to the hall, put it back on the stove, and then picked up the shovel and shoveled the grass ash and pig dung that had been stirred long ago.

Yun Ge'er stood on a makeshift wooden shelf and poured a bucket of reddish-brown juice into the cage drawer, and before long a thicker liquid seeped out from the bottom and fell into the large iron pot below.

Obviously, these reddish-brown liquids are all dung juice that has been filtered again and again, and there are more than this bucket, there are seven or eight buckets around the wooden frame, and the smell in this room is so strong that you can imagine.

In particular, there are several wine jars that have been heated, and although the dung juice in them has not been boiled, the steaming taste is enough to see.

When a bucket of thick juice was poured out, the two laborers stepped forward and moved the cage drawer to the side, and then it was Wu Kai's turn to appear, only to see him step forward and stir the dung juice with a thin wooden stick, and then threw an egg into the pot, letting it float in it for a while, then he sighed, waved his hand to Brother Yun and said: "Okay, add two more scoops of water, and the other buckets of dung juice don't need to be drenched." ”

Although the initial 'nitrate drenching' was completed, Wu Kai couldn't be happier at all - this temporary 'nitrate drenching table' was too simple, not to mention the low concentration of the nitrate water that was drenched, and the time it took was far longer than expected.

"No more showering? You...... You mean it's already done?! ”

Brother Yun muttered and repeated, and then he reflected, and he almost didn't kick the bucket into the pot in excitement, and jumped down from the shelf, and removed the coarse cloth from his mouth: "My God, it's finally over, and if I continue, my nose will be burned!" ”

Several laborers are also relieved, although the ancients said that 'into the abalone, for a long time without smelling its smell', but where there is a little way, who wants to guard such a pile of pig manure?

"Don't be too happy yet!"

Wu Kai poured a basin of cold water on them head-on: "This is just the first process, and then you have to boil these nine buckets of dung juice into three buckets, okay, don't be idle, let's start working quickly!" ”

"What, this thing still has to boil?!"

Brother Yun almost didn't paralyze when he heard this, this few buckets of warm water stinked like this, if it boiled......

"Dalang."

Halfway, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "I now know why this curse...... Ahem, I've never heard of this kind of thing, and my feelings have to suffer this sin! ”

Complaining is complaining, it is impossible to give up halfway if you have done this, especially those few laborers are paid double wages, it is even more difficult to say anything, only to divide the action, the stove of the stove, the firewood of the firewood, after a while, the three temporary iron pots wafted out a thick 'dung fragrance'.

When everything was cleaned up, everyone was about to rest for a while, but Wu Kai came up again and instructed one of them to use a stone hammer to mash all the willow charcoal they bought in the morning, and the other two were ......

"Kneading dough?!"

Brother Yun opened his mouth wide again, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Do you really want to make Na Laoshizi's 'pig dung cooking cake'?" ”

Wu Kai grinned at Brother Yun, but he didn't explain anything, it is estimated that the young man can't guess if he wants to break his head, those bags of flour are actually his killer weapon - a few catties of black powder alone is limited after all, but as long as some nitrogenated starch is added, the effect is very different, you must know that before nitroglycerin was widely used, nitrogenified starch was the main material for making grenades and mines.

If you don't want to be fine, if you want to extract starch, you can simply put the flour in clean water and knead it repeatedly until the water turns cloudy white, and then sift the water with a muslin cloth, and the starch will come out.

Thinking of the grenade, Wu Kai suddenly had some new ideas in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Brother Yun, and said: "Brother Yun [After knocking on the side, he finally knows the name of the young man], just have these two brothers in kneading the dough, you are tired and run again, help me buy some rough paper for wrapping things, and then go to the blacksmith shop to see if there are any broken iron filings left, the more fragmented the better, how many you want!" ”

Authentic grenades are out of mind for the time being, but getting a few inferior 'detonators' is not a problem, and in case things change, there is a means of rescue.

"Dalang."

Brother Yun'er was speechless: "I just found out today that you are a material for a big official-this is also a good command person!" ”

"There's no way, brother can only ask you now." Wu Kai patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will be martial arts in the future...... If Wuda is rich and prosperous one day, he will never treat you badly! ”

"Hahaha...... It's like you can become an emperor in the future, I don't have anything to do with you, I have to hurry up and buy you paper now, Daddy Liu in the grocery store is old, and the shop has always been closed earlier than others. Brother Yun laughed, didn't take Wu Kai's words seriously at all, turned his head and hurriedly walked out of the hospital.

Seeing him disappear outside the door, Wu Kai let out a sigh of relief, everything that can be done now has been done, whether it is success or failure depends on who will do it first tonight between him and Ximenqing, if Ximenqing comes to the door in the middle of the night, Wu Kai can only lead the neck and kill; But if we can delay it until tomorrow morning, when the explosives are made, then it will be ......

"Dalang? Dalang?! ”

was thinking a lot, and was pushed a few times, Wu Kai fixed his eyes and saw who else it could be if it wasn't Brother Yun, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you back again?" ”

"This ......"

Brother Yun rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and said with a sneer: "There is not much silver left for me in the morning, so ...... Hey. ”

It turned out that the money was spent, Wu Kai breathed a sigh of relief, without saying a word, he went upstairs and rolled up all the jewelry that Pan Jinlian had accumulated, and stuffed it into Brother Yun'er's arms: "Take it all, if it's not enough, tell them to record it in my account first, and when my brother comes back, not a penny will be indispensable to them!" ”

Brother Yun was a little dumbfounded holding those things, even if he hadn't gone through the personnel yet, he knew that these things were a woman's 'lifeline', and couldn't help but say: "If this is to let my sister-in-law ...... That woman knows, and she won't fight with you anymore? ”

"You don't care about this, I'll take care of it alone!"

It's all to the point of life and death, how can Wu Kai care if Pan Jinlian turns his face or not? He is not the kind of soft bone that has never seen a woman in 'Wuda', if you really want to talk about it, I am afraid that there are many more beauties who have slept with Ximenqing.

Brother Yun had no choice but to walk out with those things, but when he was in and out of the door, he was stopped by Wu Kai again, and explained in his ear: "Brother, when you come back, take it to Wang Po for a walk, and tell her......"

Brother Yun wrote down all the things he explained, and then hurried away with his burden and those things.

Out of the martial arts family, he first went to Lao Liutou's grocery store to order a few bundles of cheapest burlap paper, and then went to the blacksmith shop in the west of the city to collect more than a dozen catties of scrap iron slag, which are the leftovers used for ironmaking on weekdays, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, and when he rushes back, the jewelry is saved by more than half - of course, this is also because Ximenqing sent a lot of good things, otherwise 'Wu Dalang' alone would not be able to make up so much jewelry by selling cooking cakes.

However, these jewelry are not easy for Pan Jinlian to see, so when she arrived at the door of Wang Po's house, Brother Yun first pressed the things under the burlap paper, and then stepped forward and slammed the door.

And the three of Wang Po were actually not idle in the teahouse, and had already made a plan to kill Wu Dalang, but all day long, the martial arts family was full of people coming and going, and there was really no chance to start - even if Ximen Qing was rampant and bold, it was not easy to commit murder in front of those many people, plus Pan Jinlian was born with a habit of cleanliness, and she didn't want to get close to the stinky courtyard at all, so it has been delayed until now.

Seeing that the sky is dark, and if you don't go back, it will be difficult to explain in front of 'Wuda', Wang Po and Ximen Qingzheng urged Pan Jinlian to go home and poison her, but it happened that someone knocked on the door outside at this time, and Wang Po hurriedly signaled the two to hide next door, and then stepped forward to remove the door panel.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Be careful not to smash the door panel of the old lady - why are you?! When she saw that it was Brother Yun who knocked on the door, Wang Po's old face suddenly sank, and her nose was not a nose and her face was not a sneer: "Why, you little splash still want to fight?!" ”

A few days ago, when Brother Yun came here to find Ximenqing to sell frozen pears, he was beaten by this old woman for a while, and naturally he didn't have a good face for her, so he spat on the ground fiercely and scolded: "Phew~ The master is here to spread the word today, and he doesn't know like you as an old pious woman!" Is Da Lang's wife here with you? You tell her that Da Lang asked her to spend the night at your place, and Ming'er will call the Ximen officials again early in the morning, and Da Lang will have something to say at that time! ”

After speaking, no matter what Wang Po's reaction was, she picked up the burden and walked to the martial arts family diagonally opposite.

"Hey~ You come back, you go back...... This little monkey cub won't leave without telling the old lady clearly! ”

Wang Po chased and shouted twice, but after all, she couldn't stand the smell wafting from the yard next door, so she went back to the teahouse and learned what Brother Yun said just now from Ximenqing and Pan Jinlian.

I heard that there is no need to go back tonight to 'suffer', Pan Jinlian is like an amnesty, and thank God for the Buddha there, but Ximenqing is a little suspicious, but after thinking about it, Wu Song still has a few days to come back, even if he waits for another night, what waves can the three-inch nails turn out?

"In that case, tomorrow will see what he says in the morning, and if he listens, I will leave him a whole corpse! If you don't like it...... Hey! He laughed evilly twice, then turned his suspicion into lust, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Pan Jinlian's waist, and said cheaply: "Lady, this is a great Spring Festival, we can't waste it!" ”
