Chapter 14: The Easy Way

"Ahem!"

As soon as the door of the study opened, Reis, who had not yet reacted, was choked by the smell of cigars that filled the room.

"Wow! Dad, Uncle Gerson, how many cigarettes have you smoked in your room! Choking! ”

Lacey stood at the door of the study and pinched his nose, waved his left hand holding saltpeter powder, dispelled the door of the study full of white smoke in front of him, and said with a disgusted face: "Dad, didn't Mom say it?" It's not that you are not allowed to smoke! ”

"Dad and Uncle Gerson were hiding in the study and smoking, seeing that I didn't complain to Mom!"

For Dad Becky, everything is good, but there is one thing that is very bad, too good at smoking, which is disgusting to all relatives.

Lacey also dislikes smoking between his father Betsy and Uncle Gerson, who has always treated him kindly, and he has seen a lot of news about lung cancer from smoking on the Internet.

Besides, smoking is not good for the body, and after seeing his father Becky's heavy smoking, Lacey didn't want his father to get sick at a young age when he was only in his thirties.

The current One Piece world does not have as developed medical skills as modern times, if you usually have a small cold and a small fever, it is easy to say, if you have any major illness or cancer or something, with the current medical skills of the One Piece world, you can only ask your family to prepare for the aftermath!

So Lacey coolly pointed to the study full of smoke and warned his father Becky, preparing to go out and talk to his mother.

If you want to say that Daddy Becky is the most "awe-inspiring" or the most listened to, it is naturally Mom Lina.

Maybe it's because he has two little mothers, or because he has two half-sibling brothers, so he may be ashamed to be sorry for his mother Lena, in short, his father Becky is obedient to his mother Lena.

Strict wife!! Tsk, this makes Lacey, who has always felt that his father is wise and great, feel funny in his heart.

But I'm still standing at the door of the study seriously, and there is a big show that if you don't agree, I'll go to sue immediately.

Reborn in this family, what makes Rey most proud and valued is not the status of a powerful family, not the countless family wealth of the money Bailey, but the fact that Reis, who has experienced a return to sorrow, pays more attention to the expression and life of family affection with his family, and his family is what Reis values and is most proud of.

"Haha, my good son!" Betge hurriedly got up and hugged the serious Lacey, hugged Lacey in his arms, pressed his rough cheeks against Lacey's delicate little jade-like face, and said affectionately: "Dad listen to you, don't smoke anymore!" You can't tell your mom to go! ”

After speaking, Becky deliberately put on the supple goatee of his chin and pierced Lacey's neck to tease Lacey in his arms, and the supple goatee was like a small hand itching on Lacey's neck, making Lacey giggle.

"Giggles, Dad! Put me down and I'll do magic! Let me do the magic trick for you! ”

In the arms of his father Becky, Lacey kept pushing away the goatee chin that Daddy Becky teased his neck with his little hand, waved his left hand holding saltpeter powder, and shouted at Daddy Becky: "Really, Daddy, I'm going to make a big ice cube, let me down, I'll show you and Uncle Gerson!" ”

Looking at his excited son Lacey, Becky couldn't figure out what was wrong with his son, but he still gently put Lacey, who was struggling in his arms, to the ground.

"Huh! Where did you get the ice? ”

Viscount Betsy saw two new servants standing by the door of the study, and saw one of them holding a basin full of ice cubes.

"Father, this is what I conjured!" Lacey leaned up his little neck and said proudly.

In fact, Lacey himself is also a little tired in his heart, he is obviously in his twenties, and he still has to learn to look like a five-year-old child to "show his skills" to his father, which really gives Lacey goosebumps on his little hands.

But there is no way, five-year-old Lacey can't always look like an adult, tell his parents what saltpeter ice he knows, and have a lot of knowledge in his mind, he is still a born person who can help the family tide over the difficulties.

Hehe, if this is really done, it is estimated that the Becky couple will immediately ask the priest to come the next day to exorcise the demons for Lacey, so as to drive away the demons from Lacey.

It is one thing to be smart from an early age, and intelligence only means that the child is sensible since he was a child, if he behaves too demonic, beyond the performance that a child should have, in the eyes of Westerners, it is a demon and evil god into the body, and the god of faun should be asked to baptize.

In recent years, Lacey has only discovered that the priest religion in the One Piece world is still a big force, and there is a large priest church in the Goya Kingdom, and the identity of the priest is actually the same as that of the noble.

It's just that I haven't seen any priests in the One Piece anime, but Lacey has only understood in recent years why he hasn't seen a priest in the One Piece anime.

Because the relationship between the priest and the pirates is as hostile as the relationship between the navy and the pirates.

In the final analysis, the clergyman's gang is a religion, and as a religion, it naturally has its own belief in the Shinhe class system.

On the mainland, ignorant people who have lived on the land since they were young are naturally able to accept the brainwashing method of religion, so in the eyes of the pastor, they can be saved, and they belong to God's people.

But pirates are different, pirates are brutal by nature, kill people and set fires, and despise the mainland class system, yearn for freedom and do not believe in gods, this in the eyes of all priests, pirates are demons who have no father and no mother, and should go to hell.

Therefore, for the sea of pirates, the priest group will naturally not touch it, as long as their religious power is in any position in the mainland kingdom, they can make the person who is a priest be superior to others for a lifetime, so why bother to go to the sea.

Therefore, for Lacey, it is only through the casual behavior of ordinary children that he can discover or invent something that will help the development of the family.

Lacey still knows the word "Lacey", not to mention that there are many enemies in the family, if Lacey has a good reputation or is too smart, it will be a disaster for himself, so Lacey is most suitable for raising obscurity from an early age, and he will compete with the enemy when he grows up.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the world is not something you take for granted, and the danger of the family is like this.

However, this is also driven by nature for Lacey, because Lacey's character is that kind of gentle character, if it weren't for the family's crisis, Lacey would not have behaved more demonic.

"Huh?"

Becky was puzzled, not understanding how Lacey had come up with it. However, Becky didn't say anything about the two new servants going to the study on the third floor of the forbidden land, after all, they were all Viscount Becky's most trusted brothers, and they all pretended to be new servants to protect the safety of Becky's family.

"I'm putting on a show for Dad and Uncle Gerson!"

Reis looked at the other empty-handed new servant uncle and said, "Uncle, go get another basin of water, only half of the water will do!" ”

Becky and Gerson didn't understand what Lacey was talking about, but the new servant who had just seen Lacey's performance obviously understood what Lacey meant, smiled at Becky and Gerson, who were actually the bosses of the house, and turned around to get half a basin of water.

The speed was very fast, and it didn't take a minute and a half to take it.

"Dad, Uncle Gerson, take care of it!"

Lacey squatted beside the basin, opened the saltpeter powder that he had pulled tightly with white paper in his hand, and poured the saltpeter powder into half a basin of water.

Under the stunned expressions of my father and Uncle Gerson, I saw half a basin of water condense into ice at a speed, and then change into a basin of large ice cubes, under the scorching air of the study, exuding a trace of cold air, clearly telling others that this is already an ice cube.

"What kind of powder is this?" Looking at the turning water into ice, Betch was excited and snatched the empty white paper in Reis's hand, and asked Reis, "If you pour it into the water, the water will turn ice?" ”

"Yes!"

Reis nodded heavily, pointed to the basin that had turned into ice cubes, and said, "This is saltpeter powder!" Grandpa Hall said that there is a lot of saltpeter at home, and I just wanted to play with water for a while, so I asked the two uncles to grind saltpeter into powder and pour it into the water, and the water turned into ice! ”

"Look, I didn't lie to you!"

。。。。。。

Looking at Lacey with a proud face, Becky finally understood what had just happened, saltpeter, it turned out that if you grind saltpeter into powder and pour it into water, the water will turn into ice cubes!

"Haha, the Beirut family, the Beirut family, the family is saved!"

Becky said loudly to Gerson, and then hugged Lacey and kissed Lacey the cheek to recognize his son's merits.

Gerson also smiled innocently, scratched his hair and said to Becky: "Haha, yes, it's still Young Master Lacey who is amazing!" ”

Just like Butler Hall said, the saltpeter Beirut family really has no shortage of saltpeter, because Becky has a saltpeter mine in his hands, which is used to make gunpowder, and Becky also understands that saltpeter can be used to make ice to make money, because saltpeter and water are basically like no capital for Becky, and he can have as much as he wants.

Becky hugged Reis and said to Gerson: "Now in the market, what is the price of the ice that those seafaring merchants pulled from the North Sea in the kingdom?" What is the selling price of saltpeter in the Kingdom market? ”

"Huh!" Gerson thought for a moment and said: "When I went to ask the day before yesterday, it seemed to be 10,000 Baileys for 100 catties of ice, which is the same as the price I just pulled over before, but now the price has definitely risen!" ”

"But I don't know the price of saltpeter, I guess it's quite expensive, who said that there are many pirates now, and the amount of gunpowder needed is large! Anyway, there is no shortage of saltpeter in the Beirut family, I'm sure, hehe! ”

Becky's conversation with Gerson surprised Lacey.

Good boy! Lacey, who was in Becky's arms, was speechless when he heard that 100 catties of ice cubes were actually priced at 10,000 Baileys!
