Li Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head, "Don't thank me, I also want to protect my home, my family." ”

"Some time ago, my family's honeycomb coal shop opened, and my eldest brother bought firecrackers and put several strings at the door, and the sound was very loud and attracted passers-by."

"At that time, I wondered, can firecrackers explode, can they be used as a weapon?"

Gongsun Lian smiled, "Obviously, it can't!" When shops open and build houses, as well as during the Chinese New Year, we have the habit of setting off firecrackers, which can drive away evil spirits and be lively, but they can't be used as weapons, just listen to the sound. ”

Li Xiaoyue originally wanted to get a good recipe and give it directly to Gongsun Lian, but she thought that there were many disadvantages to this.

She hasn't known Gongsun Lian for a long time, and such a precious thing is too important. People's hearts are fickle, and no one can guarantee that Gongsun Lian will always be like this.

In addition, she is a country woman, busy with family affairs every day, and there is no place to test gunpowder!

In the end, Li Xiaoyue thought about it again and again, changed her strategy, and used heuristic conversations to provide ideas and stimulate Gongsun Lian's imagination.

"First of all, this sound can play a frightening role for the cavalry of the Treaty Country. Secondly, the power is small, you can change the formula of the gunpowder inside and the material wrapped around the gunpowder, can you increase the power? ”

Gongsun Lian was stunned, he had never thought about this before.

At this time, Li Xiaoyue's words made Gongsun Lian suddenly brightened, as if the fog in front of him suddenly dispersed, and the bright sun shone in.

Li Xiaoyue continued: "I learned that gunpowder is made of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Different proportions have the power of can't. I think it is possible to change the power by changing the proportion, and there must be an optimal ratio with the greatest power. ”

"In addition, firecrackers, as the name suggests, are shells made of bamboo, which are actually not strong. When the gunpowder is powerful, bamboo is not suitable for shells. Should it be replaced with iron? Can you mix some iron nails, or round iron beads? ”

"When it explodes, these iron nails and balls will burst out with the power of the explosion, and they will inevitably be able to hit the war horse, disturb the war horse, and even hit the soldiers on the horse."

"Mr. Gongsun, what do you think of my idea?"

After Gongsun Lian listened to Li Xiaoyue's words, he already had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and at this time, it was like an enlightenment.

He immediately stood up and bowed to Li Xiaoyue, "Mrs. Li, please accept a salute!" ”

Li Xiaoyue hurriedly put down the fishing rod, stood up cautiously, and bowed, "Mr. Gongsun tortures me, Xiaoyue is a woman, just to talk about his humble opinion, specific things, Mr. Gongsun and the major general still need to plan." ”

Mr. Gongsun saluted again, "Lady Li, don't say that, it is precisely because you have broken people's usual impression of gunpowder by jumping out of the conventional way." If this time can be successful, Li Niangzi should be the first to take credit. ”

Li Xiaoyue saw that Gongsun Lian attached great importance to it, and she would inevitably arrange for someone to start researching, so she didn't have to bother.

However, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and she doesn't want people to know that this is her idea.

"Mr. Gongsun, please don't say it to the public, this is my proposal. I am just a woman, I just want to raise my children, live a good life, and hope that the frontier will be stable and live in peace. ”

"Besides, Mr. Gongsun and the Major General have given my family a lot of convenience, and I am grateful and cannot repay it. It's just a small shallow opinion, and I ask Mr. Gongsun to accept it. ”

Mr. Gongsun knows that the Li family has always been low-key and does not want to be public, which is understandable.

Now just because the major general is training in Dongshan, the Li family is being targeted. If it is rumored that the improved gunpowder was suggested by Li Niangzi, it will inevitably cause trouble.

"Mrs. Li is very worried, Lian, write it down. If gunpowder can really form combat effectiveness, the major general and I will thank you in other ways. ”

Li Xiaoyue waved her hand, "I really don't need to, Mr. Gongsun." You and the major general led the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, defend Zhenxiguan, and protect the lives of me and my family, which is still a life-saving grace! ”

"Besides, my Li family has always insisted on hard work, and resolutely does not allow juniors to get something for nothing. If the family suddenly gives so many rewards, it will often make them lose their fighting spirit and lose themselves. ”

"If you want to reward me, then kill a few more thieves when the enemy is on the side."

Gongsun Lian smiled, "Okay! Lian, I can agree to Mrs. Li's request."

After that, the fish floated down quickly, Gongsun Lian's eyes were quick, he grabbed the fishing rod, and pulled hard, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish of more than three catties.

"Haha, I had good luck today and caught a big fish."

Li Xiaoyue saw that her fishing rod also began to move, she sat down, fished patiently, and sure enough, after a few breaths, she caught a crucian carp of more than half a catty.

"I'm lucky, too." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile, "If Mr. Gongsun has something, you can go back first, I'll fish for a while, and then go home to stew fish at night." ”

Because there are few seasonings, Li Xiaoyue can only use moldy steamed buns to make sauce, and when cooking, there is more flavor.

Especially when the fish is stewed, it tastes even better.

"Seeing Mrs. Li like this, she will definitely be able to deal with the fishy smell, and the stewed fish tastes very good." Gongsun Lian smiled, "I wonder if Lian can go to Mrs. Li's house to eat stewed fish today?" ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled: "Of course you can, Mr. Gongsun can come at any time." Our two families are relatives, so you're welcome. ”

"You're welcome!" Gongsun Lian continued to fish, very focused.

Today's luck was really good, not only talking about how to "fish", but also actually catching a bucket of fish from the lake.

went ashore and returned to Lihua Village one after the other, Niu Dazhuang carrying a bucket of fish in the back.

Niu Dazhuang was by the stream, killing fish, rinsing them, and then sending them to Li Xiaoyue's house.

Li Changhuan and Qin Yuyao were sitting in the courtyard, teaching Li Daya and Li Goudan to read and write.

But the main thing is that Li Daya is learning, Li Goudan will chase chickens for a while, and chase dogs for a while. When he was young, he had nails on his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still.

"Father-in-law!" When Li Changhuan saw someone coming, he immediately stood up and smiled, "Please take a seat, I'll pour you tea." ”

Qin Yuyao squinted her eyes and looked at the person who came, worthy of Mr. Gongsun, who was famous all over the capital but only heard his name but did not see him.

This demeanor is really extraordinary.

Gongsun Lian deliberately pretended not to know and asked Li Xiaoyue: "Who is this?" ”

Li Xiaoyue followed Gongsun Lian's words and introduced, "This is a relative of my mother's mother's family, and there is no one at home, so she came to join me." ”

Gongsun Lian nodded, "Mrs. Li is kind." ”

"It's over." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile, "The white stacks and sesame seeds planted over there, Mr. Gongsun is interested, you can go and have a look, I stew fish, and eat stewed fish stickers at night." ”

"Good!" Gongsun Lian was polite, and then went to the vegetable field next to the vegetable garden.

Qin Yuyao didn't dare to breathe, and only after Gongsun Lian left, did he dare to raise his head before he could think normally.

Her Li family is really the right one!

Li Xiaoyue turned her back, shook her head and smiled bitterly, hey, he is also a poor person!

However, she will find a way to save Qin Yuyao's life, but it will definitely not be at the cost of the Li family's safety.
