Mr. Lu’s life is not without a lot of knowledge. In terms of just seeing people and things, I would probably search all over the Tang Dynasty, and there would be few people better than him.
However, Mr. Lu thinks he has never seen anyone like this kid in front of him!
No, not only have he never seen it before! He has never even thought about it!
A moment ago, he was reciting poems impassionedly, thinking about fighting on the battlefield, and immediately becoming a marquis!
The next moment, he was like a child, cheering around the lanterns.
Such strange behavior made Mr. Lu feel more curious and more curious.
"Oh~ put it up!"
Suddenly, a commotion woke up Mr. Lu, who was deep in thought, and he looked up.
The giant lantern in front of him was slowly flying into the sky from the gap in the middle of the lamp shed under the joint control of Xiao Han and several young people.
Under the blazing fire, a piece of white paper tied to the ground fluttered in the wind, making people worried that it would be lost before it could be seen by the gods.
Mr. Lu didn't see what Xiao Han wrote. In fact, when this little guy wrote, he deliberately avoided those curious people!
And after he finished writing, he deliberately folded the paper up like a thief and hung it at the bottom of the lantern.
Only he and the little girl from the Xue family could see what was written on it.
"Hey, you are still young after all!"
After taking a look at the little girl from the Xue family with a shy and expectant look on her face, Old Man Lu could roughly guess what was on the paper.
He didn't mean to blame, just a little regretful.
The Lantern King comes once a year. Didn’t he have the great ambition to revitalize the family and make the country peaceful and peaceful? How could he have expected that this time, he would be ruined by this little beast!
The wind is very light tonight, so the lanterns are flying very steadily, climbing little by little in the dark night.
Xiao Han raised his neck and looked at the night sky above his head.
At first, the paintings on the lanterns were still very clear, but in the end, only a little pea-sized light could be seen, flickering in and out under the bright moonlight.
"It's amazing! This kind of fuel can compete with the solid fuels of later generations! If you take one with you on a picnic, you can cook two dishes!"
It is different from other people who wish on a lantern and hope that it will bring their wishes to the gods in the sky.
What Xiao Han was most interested in was the half-brick-sized piece of fuel under the lantern. It was hard to believe that such a small thing could have so much energy!
The fuel made from something unknown is very light, soft, and semi-solid. At first glance, it looks a bit like solidified lard.
Xiao Han had focused on studying the lantern before it took off! But at that time, he made a position in his mind that this thing would never fly!
However, a wise man said something very reasonable: Never evaluate something you don’t understand, because it is easy to be slapped in the face!
As for Xiao Han, his face was slapped hard now. Fortunately, he could not speak loudly just now, otherwise his face would be terrible!
Watching eagerly as he lit the unknown substance that was the servant, the lantern flew away beautifully! This made Xiao Han become more and more curious about it while blushing!
After all, according to his common sense, the lighter the mass, the less energy it contains!
Of course, don’t take out something as outrageous as nuclear fuel.
If someone in the Tang Dynasty could build a nuclear reactor, Xiao Han would have absolutely no other idea except to worship him.
When the lanterns were no longer visible, Xiao Han rubbed his sore neck, walked over to Mr. Lu who was also looking up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu? What was that thing you just lit? It looks strange to me, can you?"
Give me one hundred and eighty pounds to play with?"
"What? One hundred and eighty pounds?!"
Mr. Lu, who was looking up at the lamp, suddenly heard Xiao Han's words. He was so excited that he lowered his head so fast that he almost knocked out his teeth. Now he was sucking in the cold air and staring at Xiao Han with a toothache:
"Do you know what that is?! Do you still want 180 pounds?"
"I don't know! Why, it's very expensive? I can buy it. Can I exchange two pounds of candles for one pound?"
Looking at Mr. Lu's appearance, Xiao Han not only did not give up his thoughts, but instead acted like a harmless fool like buying vegetables at the vegetable market.
Unfortunately, after his experience in Hanzhong, he grew a lot taller. According to Old Man Hua, it was due to water changes. Although growing taller is a good thing, it would lose a lot of convenience for him to pretend to be a child and take advantage.
Just like now, Mr. Lu didn't even bother to explain for him, he just looked at Xiao Han with contempt.
Although candles are considered a luxury item nowadays, how shameless does this kid have to be to trade them with him? He is the head of the Lu family, not the manager of the Lu family! He also notices a few broken candles?
"Not enough? Then... add another pound!"
Seeing that Mr. Lu didn't speak for a while, Xiao Han pretended to feel distressed and gritted his teeth again!
It's just the intensity of this that made Xue Pan, who was looking over, blush even more. Looking at her appearance, she wanted to come over and grab Xiao Han's ears and lift him away!
Looking at Xiao Han's innocent appearance, the dumbfounded Mr. Lu shook his head and stretched out two fingers. When Xiao Han was about to speak, he quickly said, "Don't think too much, this is shark oil, it's very precious! Look.
You guys have hit it off, I will give you two pounds as a gift! No more! I don’t care about your broken candles! As long as there are any good articles or poems in the future, just remember to copy a copy and show it to me!"
"Is this the shark's oil? Yes! Two pounds is two pounds!" When Xiao Han heard the word shark's oil, the smile on his face almost made his eyes water!
He knew it was a good thing just now, but he really didn't expect it to be the legendary shark oil that can burn for hundreds of years without being destroyed!
Such a rare good thing, it was beyond his expectation that Mr. Lu could give him two pounds to form a good relationship! The most important thing in life is to be content!
Just when Xiao Han was begging for the treasure from Mr. Lu, the lanterns had drifted out of sight, and even the crowd around him gradually dispersed. Only Xiao Han's poems were still vaguely mentioned here and there.
Mr. Lu returned to his seat. When he saw Xiao Han following closely, he couldn't help but snort.
"Why, are you afraid that I will default on your debt?"
Xiao Han quickly waved his hands and smiled: "How is that possible? I just came here to ask for advice! Just now you said this is shark oil? But I have never seen it. Is it possible that this kind of thing can turn tears into pearls?
Does it really exist?"
"Huh?" Mr. Lu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said to Xiao Han with an unhappy look: "Why do tears turn into pearls? Who told you such nonsense? If those things are so magical, who would?
Are you willing to kill someone to make oil?"
"Huh? That's right!" With one sentence, Xiao Han suddenly realized!
He had heard of the legend of the shark in his previous life, and had always been fascinated by this magical creature, but he did not think carefully about the flaws in the legend.
