Chapter Sixty-Nine: Addicted to Technology and Can't Extricate Yourself
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people are getting tired.
Hua Qingxue opened the long-lost west side room, looking at the room full of handmade soap, she realized that she had been thinking about how to purify gunpowder recently, but she had forgotten about this pile of soap.
At first, she wanted to make some money to support her family with handmade soap, but later the emperor's reward came down, and Fu Tingye sent another box of gems.
If you don't have bad money, you can't think of making money.
Hua Qingxue felt that she was really not the material for business.
She will be very involved in using the existing material conditions to make something.
But after that's done, let her figure out how to market...... She'll have a headache.
However, so much has been done, and it is a waste to put it at home, remembering that the two brothers in Chen Kee's shop wanted to buy this batch of soap last time, Hua Qingxue picked out four or five pieces of soap on the shelf, and prepared to go to Chen Ji.
But when she reached the door, she felt the heat outside, the sun scorched the earth, and the noonday sun was so white that she could barely open her eyes.
Hua Qingxue stood under the eaves and didn't have the courage to step out for a long time.
Or......
When the sun is about to set, will you go?
She put down what she was holding, went to the kitchen, took out a large green watermelon from the water tank, all in half, revealing a red pulp, and carried it back to the house and scooped it with a spoon to eat.
The watermelon was soaked in cold water for a day, sweet and cool.
There's nothing more comfortable than eating cold watermelon in the summer......
Hua Qingxue ate watermelon, listened to the chirping of cicadas, and was a little drowsy.
She yawned, put down the watermelon, wiped her hands, and lay down on the bed with a mat, ready to squint for a while.
……
Fu Tingye patted the door and did not move.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the guards guarding both sides of the courtyard gate.
"She's out?"
"Miss Hua has been at home all the time and has never gone out."
Fu Tingye frowned and muttered to himself, "Why don't you open the door...... Asleep? ”
The guards looked at each other and asked, "General, do you need to open the door for you?" ”
Behind the door is just a wooden bolt, which can be removed with a knife inserted into it.
Fu Tingye shook his head, "No need." ”
He took a few steps to the side, found a suitable position, jumped up, and climbed to the other side of the courtyard wall.
……
There was silence in the yard, only the chirping of the trees kept going.
Fu Tingye walked into the main room and saw half a watermelon on the table, and a woman lying behind the screen.
It turned out that I really fell asleep.
Fu Tingye had a smile in his eyes.
He walked around the screen with a light step and saw the scene in front of him, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman on the bed was sleeping soundly, wearing only a water-green cotton and linen short coat and an extremely light cropped bloomers.
The two delicate arms are barely exposed, the neckline is wide open, and because of the side-lying position, a large area of snow-white skin on the chest is exposed, and the deep groove is extremely attractive.
In particular, she also has loose hair, a head of green silk spread on the bed, and a few strands around her neck and waist, making her look extraordinarily charming......
Fu Tingye only felt that a fire was burning violently! Burn all the way to the belly!
He didn't expect Hua Qingxue to dress so ...... at home So cool!
Damn it! How could this woman be so nonsense! What if someone gets seen?!
Fu Tingye's straight man had a cancer attack, and he can't wait to wake up Hua Qingxue now and teach him a hard lesson!
But......
Look at her sleeping so soundly......
Fu Tingye felt thirsty.
His gaze slowly roamed over Hua Qingxue's delicate body, and finally landed on her moist red lips.
I endured and endured, but I still couldn't hold back, I bowed my head and swallowed the fragrant and soft lips, only to feel that this place could quench my thirst more than watermelon.
He told himself that it was just a moment, but he lingered, kissed and kissed, and kept going deeper......
……
Hua Qingxue felt that she was crushed by a bear in her dream.
She woke up suddenly, subconsciously stretched out her hand to refuse, and pushed a few times without pushing, before she reacted in a daze, it was Fu Tingye who came.
The heat and sweat on the man's body made her feel uncomfortable, sticky, and hot.
Hua Qingxue finally cooled down for a while, and was tossed by Fu Tingye like this, and another layer of fine sweat appeared on her body.
"General......" she opened her face and exhaled in a small breath, pressing her hands on Fu Tingye's chest, "Don't ...... It's so hot......"
"It's hot." Fu Tingye let go of her, straightened his upper body, untied his clothes, and then pressed over shirtless again.
Hua Qingxue was dumbfounded by his actions.
Actually, in that kind of thing, Hua Qingxue's concept is very open, as long as the other party is the person she likes, she has nothing to be unwilling to.
But she didn't want to be sweaty......
"General, it's really hot...... You, you let go of me......" Although she thought so in her heart, her tone was too soft, and there was no strength at all.
Fu Tingye gnawed all the way along her thin white neck, lingering at her collarbone, he seemed to want to go further, but he hesitated.
He was afraid that if he continued, he might really be tempted to ask for her.
But to stop? He was reluctant to feel the soft and delicate touch of his body......
Fu Tingye was sweating and panting, and he didn't know whether he was suffocating or in a hurry.
He suddenly let go of Hua Qingxue, walked to the table in a few steps, picked up the half of the watermelon and ate it in a big gulp, fast and urgent, as if he was thirsty.
Hua Qingxue sat up, combed her long hair diagonally into a long braid, walked to the basin to soak the handkerchief, wiped the sweat on her body, then re-wet the handkerchief, and walked behind Fu Tingye to help him wipe the sweat.
"Why is the general here today?" She asked him while carefully wiping the sweat on Fu Tingye's back.
"Come and see you." Fu Tingye ate the remaining watermelon in a few bites, turned around and didn't forget to criticize her, "How can you dress like this in the house?" ”
Hua Qingxue looked dazed, what was she wearing? It's covered where it should be......
Fu Tingye looked at the extra strawberry marks between her collarbones, and the tone of her original righteous words was inexplicably weak, "Anyway...... Don't dress like this in the future! ”
Hua Qingxue stared, very speechless, and retorted in a low voice, "I just showed my arms, but the general's entire upper body is naked." ”
Fu Tingye: "......"
Just now, he couldn't help himself for a while, so he took off his shirt.
Fu Tingye reached out to get the clothes on the bed, and was snatched away by Hua Qingxue.
She said disgustedly: "It's all sweaty, how can you still wear it?" I'll wash it for you, anyway, it's sunny outside, and it'll be dry in a while. ”
After that, he threw Fu Tingye's shirt into the basin, picked up the basin and wanted to go out.
Fu Tingye grabbed her wrist with one hand, "Just wash it in the house!" ”
His face was ugly and he said, "To go out you have to put on your clothes!" ”
"No one ...... in the yard"
"If a gangster suddenly breaks in, won't he be looked at?!"
“……”
Hua Qingxue felt a deep generation gap...... Didn't she just wear a sleeveless gown? As for being so nervous?
"But I've got to go to the kitchen and scoop water, right?" She was a little annoyed, too.
"I'll scoop it." Fu Tingye turned around and walked out.
Hua Qingxue saw that he really went to scoop water, and she was angry and funny in her heart.
Why did she get such a man?
A moment later, Fu Tingye came back with a bucket of water.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but laugh because of his serious look, thinking to herself, although sometimes it's annoying, but sometimes...... I think he's so cute.
Without saying a word, she scrubbed her clothes in her hands.
Fu Tingye sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, and after a while, he whispered: "When you get into the dog days, Zhao Sheng will send someone to send ice over, you can endure it for a few more days, using ice too early is not good for your body." ”
It seems to be a euphemistic reminder that she should not be too revealing in the future.
Hua Qingxue heard this, felt fresh, and asked, "Where does the ice come from in summer?" ”
Fu Tingye was slightly stunned, "Naturally, it's in the ice cellar." ”
"Ice cellar?" Hua Qingxue remembered that there was indeed such a custom in ancient times, and she asked with great interest, "Is it the ice that is saved in winter, sealed in the ground, and then taken out and used in summer?" ”
In ancient times, this custom was called "hiding ice", first digging the cellar, laying straw felt underneath, and then putting the cut ice cubes into it neatly one by one until the cellar was full, and then covering it with a layer of straw felt, covering the cellar with thick soil, so that the ice cellar was completed.
Fu Tingye nodded, not understanding what was worth Hua Qingxue's excitement about this kind of thing.
Hua Qingxue thought about something else.
"The amount of ice that can be saved in this way should be very limited, and if you want all the soldiers in the barracks to use ice, it will be difficult to be satisfied, right?"
Fu Tingye laughed, "The Qingzhou camp has an army of 100,000 people, and if you want everyone to use ice, I'm afraid that no one can supply it." ”
Hua Qingxue asked: "In those dog days, will the soldiers in the camp be very hard?" ”
"No matter how hard it is, there are times, and they are all carried slowly like this, if you are afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter, what kind of soldier do you want to be a soldier?"
Hua Qingxue thought for a while and said slowly: "But now that the weather is so hot, the firearms battalion is still working hard every day...... Well, I'll make a batch of ice and give it to the craftsmen in the firearms camp, and if it's a big amount, I'll send some to the camp. ”
Fu Tingye didn't react for a while, "...... Make ice? ”
"yes." She smiled and said, "Haven't we been mining saltpeter lately?" When saltpeter is dissolved in water, it absorbs a lot of heat, causing the water to freeze at a lower temperature! Anyway, we now have a lot of saltpeter, which is just right for ice. ”
Fu Tingye knew her and was not interested in jewelry and clothes, but was very energetic when she talked about them.
And he especially likes her appearance with such a radiant look and shining eyes.
Fu Tingye usually didn't stop Hua Qingxue from doing what he wanted to do, but he asked her puzzledly: "Aren't those saltpeters used to make gunpowder?" ”
"It doesn't matter, after saltpeter is dissolved into water, you can use the cooling crystallization method, or the evaporation crystallization method, and the saltpeter can be raised again for reuse."
Hua Qingxue said, screamed softly, and looked at Fu Tingye, "General, the glasssmith I asked you to help me find has a fall?" The purification of gunpowder and the evaporation crystallization of saltpeter require the use of a still, and glass is absolutely indispensable. ”
As long as the glass can be solved, Hua Qingxue feels that her technology tree is about to light up a large area.
