121. Backgammon

For a while, only the people outside knew that they had two long beeps from time to time, and even the people outside the door had become background boards.

The two people in the study were silent, one was in a good mood and enjoyed the quiet time at this time, while the other was immersed in scanning the books, and the serious look was like a student who was cramming before the exam.

"There it is!" Meng Wei finally found the word she was familiar with, and the word she had forgotten a little before was consolidated again, making her uncontrollably happy, "It's saltpeter, just use saltpeter to make ice." ”

"Saltpeter?"

Ye Zichuan is not interested in porcelain painting, it can be said that if Meng Wei didn't want this book, maybe this book would just be placed in his study as an ornament

"Little Hou Ye, why don't you take advantage of the fact that it is not so hot in the morning for someone to buy it, I heard that this saltpeter can also be used to cure diseases, presumably the pharmacy should sell it, so that we can see with our own eyes how saltpeter turns water into ice."

"Okay, Xiao Yuanzi, you tell me to go down and let someone buy some saltpeter, and go back quickly."

Facts have proved that although Ye Zichuan is a fool of all in the eyes of others, no one dares to slack off in the Protector's Mansion.

Meng Wei only ate two fruits, so Fang Yuan brought the things, and simply bandaged them with paper outside, and knew at a glance that they were bought from the pharmacy.

To be honest, Meng Wei had never seen saltpeter, so she was a little stunned when she saw the white powdery thing inside: "So this is saltpeter?" ”

Although it has been ground into powder, the properties of an object should not change so easily.

Without Meng Wei opening his mouth, the two of them arrived at the main hall, the small mirror fetched a bucket of water, and two empty wooden basins were placed on the ground, and even Steward Feng and the housekeeper came.

The two of them completely listened to the little mirror and said that Meng Wei was studying ice making, and Steward Feng came over to take a look if there was nothing to do in the Sichuan Courtyard anyway, and the housekeeper happened to be talking with Steward Feng, and when he heard it, he naturally remembered that he had met Meng Wei before, presumably Meng Wei also heard Aunt Lin say that the ice was not enough, so he also came over with a cheeky face.

Ye Zichuan didn't care about this, anyway, it was just an experiment, and even if it failed, there would be a lot of meat.

"How do you make ice for this? Is water and a tub enough? ”

"I guess I'm not sure, let's try first."

I was annoyed why I didn't have any interest in going in and taking a look when I saw this saltpeter ice, she thought it would be okay to find saltpeter, but now she didn't know how to start.

I don't know the ratio of water and saltpeter, I don't even know the process and steps, if I have to add something else to it, then her work will be in vain.

But now that many people are there, she can't show her timidity, so she can only pour the bag of saltpeter in her hand into the empty wooden basin, and let the small mirror pour the water into another wooden basin, and then slowly pour the water into the basin with saltpeter, stirring constantly.

However, it doesn't look any different, except that the water is a little cloudy with the powder when it first enters the basin.

"Xiaowei, is this what I stirred wrong? Or is saltpeter bought less? ”

You ask me, who do I ask?

Of course, these words could only flash in her heart, Meng Wei maintained her complexion, making herself look as calm as before, without the slightest feeling of failure: "It should be about the same, this will take a while to see if it will be successful, we can do something else first, as for how long, I don't know very well." ”

Ye Zichuan looked at it for a while, and saw that it was not as he thought, and when he saw this, he only felt that he had failed, and he suddenly felt that he was not interested, but he thought that Meng Wei had worked so hard just now, and he had nothing to do now, so he asked Fang Yuan to take the deputy chess.

"Since you have to wait for a while, then you happen to play a game of chess, so that time will pass faster, and you can rest here for a while."

The housekeeper wanted to leave, but since Ye Zichuan said so, he thought about it and stood aside without saying anything.

The horse steward was very idle, so he made tea for Ye Zichuan on the side, and the small mirror was staring in front of the basin of water with a rolling stick.

Meng Wei saw Ye Zichuan open the chess box, holding black chess in one hand and white chess in the other, rolled her eyes, and thought of a way to pass the time: "Little Hou Ye, it's too boring for you to play chess alone, why don't you play a few games with Xiao Hou Ye?" ”

"Do you know how to play Go?"

If it was Meng Wei who heard someone else say, then Ye Zichuan was really surprised by this Go.

Could it be that this ordinary peasant family also learned from the literati and the vassals to buy and play Go elegantly?

But this kind of thing is not something that can be seen or pondered by yourself, and there should be a master to lead you into the door.

Seeing that Ye Zichuan's eyes changed when he looked at her, as if he was exploring, and with a little curiosity, Meng Wei smiled faintly and sat down opposite Ye Zichuan casually: "Little Hou Ye, the slave doesn't know how to play Go, I heard that the next game of Go doesn't take half an hour and takes two quarters of an hour, the slave doesn't have such good patience, and the slave and the maid will play another way." ”

"Another way to play? This is fresh, you tell the master. ”

So, Meng Wei concisely explained the game of backgammon, which is roughly that as long as there is one of the lines of the five pieces connected together, it will be considered a win.

Of course, Ye Zichuan has never played this backgammon, but this rule sounds simple, and he was interested for a while: "Okay, then you play two games with the master in black chess." ”

If it's fun, he will be able to show his hand in front of Chu Jingfeng and his cousin in the future.

In the first place, Gomoku does not require the whole game to be taken care of, lest you fall into a trap, but only a few pieces that may be connected in a line.

So even if Meng Wei played first, Ye Zichuan did the same, and after playing most of the chessboard in the first game, Meng Wei won by luck, but Ye Zichuan also learned backgammon, and a few people on the side also watched it with interest.

They don't necessarily know how to play Go, but this backgammon is easy to understand, and they don't have to think about it for a while when they play each move, so they won't lose much time at all.

After playing the first game, the two picked up the pieces and started the second game.

Kuroko went first, she was still a sunspot, twisted the chess pieces in her hand, and the coolness from her fingertips calmed her down a lot for no reason, and she even forgot about making ice.

This rich man is good, even the chess pieces are not made of stone, but jade.

The two of them came and went, and several people around them watched with great interest, even Fang Yuan stared at the chessboard with burning eyes, and the small mirror stood directly behind Meng Wei and clenched his fists with both hands. The atmosphere didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing Meng Wei's train of thought.
