Yan Bing originally wanted to say something to the old man.
But seeing the pained expression on the old man's face, he finally just opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.
Also, given the stingy character of the old man, it is already very difficult to work for nothing without making a penny. After all, we cannot ask everyone to be a saint...
So he silently took out a thousand-tael silver note from his pocket, stuffed it into the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the master for the people of Beizhen. I will go and see what is prepared for the banquet first."
How's it going?"
After saying that, he ran out of the courtyard without giving the old man a chance to regret his words.
He put his hands behind his back, kicked up his skirt, and strode towards the downtown area.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, he was surrounded by the people in the city.
The people in Tongshun City had obviously learned about her knighthood, and they all came up to congratulate them. Now that there was no more trouble from the wealthy families, every family was much richer. Some were carrying chickens and ducks, and some were holding baskets of eggs.
He used the few good things he had as a gift, hoping that Duke Ding would accept it to show his love for her.
Naturally, Yan Bing could only smile and refuse them one by one, but the people obviously refused to give up easily. In the end, she had no choice but to use Qing Kung Fu and escape back to the Duke's Mansion.
Just as he jumped over the courtyard wall, he happened to see Lingyue holding her arms and smiling evilly at herself.
"What's wrong? Duke Dingguo? Why can't you get out??" Lingyue looked gloating.
Yan Bing looked at Lingyue and smiled, but didn't reply. He just said to himself: "It's so sour..."
Immediately ignoring Lingyue's flushed face and angry curses, she jumped on her feet and went directly to the backyard.
I moved all the distillation racks in the backyard to the corner, cleared an open space, and moved out the calcining furnace I had made before.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries!
Yan Bing has not forgotten that there are countless Western powers eyeing this Chinese land.
It happened that winter had already entered and the temperature had reached below zero, so Yan Bing took the time to make two more cans of nitric acid.
Then he returned to the basement, made two pots of soap, and obtained the additional item, glycerin
Finally, a ready-made distillation rack is used to produce pure water.
The raw materials for nitroglycerin are now gathered.
Since I can't get out of this door, I won't go out yet and make nitroglycerin and yellow gunpowder!
Yan Bing moved all three raw materials to the corner of the yard, and then poured the newly prepared nitric acid and glycerin into the purified water in proportion with a solemn expression. His movements were very light. After all, if he is not careful, he may "celebrate the New Year" in advance.
"Yes.
After doing all this, Yan Bing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, went down to the basement again, took out the soda ash, lime, wood powder, and saltpeter powder that he had prepared before, and returned to the backyard. He gently poured the soda ash into the basement.
Pour it into a jar, causing a chemical reaction between nitric acid and glycerin, and then completely compatibility them into nitroglycerin.
Then he spread several pieces of brocade paper on the ground, and mixed lime, wood powder, and saltpeter powder in proportion. When everything was ready, he found a wooden basin, poured all the powder into it, and then poured it into the ground.
Use a spoon to gently scoop out the purified water on top of the nitroglycerin little by little, and finally pour it into the basin together with a little purified water and nitroglycerin at the bottom of the jar, and stir gently.
A pot of slightly damp yellow gunpowder is done.
All that's left is to wait for the pure water in the gunpowder to evaporate naturally, and this pot of yellow gunpowder can be tested.
Yan Bing held the pot of semi-finished yellow gunpowder and tiptoed back to the basement. He found a place with a vent and left it there to dry. Then he left the basement and came to the front yard. He was instantly frightened by the scene in front of him.
A big jump!
The entire front yard was already filled with various round tables. From the colors and patterns, Yan Bing could vaguely tell that at least half of them were from major restaurants in Tongshun County, while a small part were obviously from military camps.
But because there were too many tables and they couldn't be accommodated in the yard, the guards responsible for setting the tables went straight to the street along the courtyard gate, and the north-south street in front of the mansion was completely filled with tables.
It looked like it was nearly a mile away.
On the way to the downtown area, there were waiters from various restaurants holding a variety of dishes and placing them table by table in order.
Yan Bing was originally a low-key person, but he never expected that this incident would become known to the whole city.
She saw that the people who had been blocking her delivery of chickens and ducks just stopped looking for her, and directly handed everything in their hands to the waiters who came and went.
The waiters were also unambiguous and took it to the restaurant. It seemed that the entire restaurant in Tongshun City was running out of raw materials.
How do I feel...
I was "fed and fed" by the people in the city...
Although Yan Bing was a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, he was very moved inside. He simply didn't stop him and started to gather the guards in the courtyard to go to the cellar to move the wine.
Since the whole city has come to support me, how can I dampen everyone's interest? Today, I have donated all the "tribute wine" in this cellar! Anyway, Emperor Xuansi has the bottom line on pharmaceutical matters, so I don't have anything like this.
It's just a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this, Yan Bing immediately called another guard, handed him a thousand taels of silver notes, and asked him to go to the military camp to arrange for soldiers to pick up the carriage from the post station, and then go to the capital to buy various chickens, ducks, and fish to ensure supplies.
Today was originally a celebration banquet to honor the soldiers! But Yan Bing changed it into a flowing banquet! All soldiers and ordinary people in the city can participate! Even the curfew was waived by her with a flick of her arm!
And this passionate and lively atmosphere gradually infected every citizen in the city along this street, and more and more people came here to join in the fun.
There were also people bringing food and wine, and even the shops on the street had hung up their doors early, just to catch this once-in-a-century feast.
Everyone on the street had a happy and happy smile on their face. Whether they were neighbors or had never met before, they all felt like a family because of this grand dinner.
The sound of clinking glasses, cheers, and hearty laughter resounded throughout Tongshun City and throughout the entire night.
But the old man, who had always been stingy, actually watched the wine cellar being moved out without showing any complaint. He just stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
The senior brother completely let himself go. He and Wu Qidao held a wine jar, stood on the table, and drank together!
A group of hundreds of households below started to make a fuss, but not long after, they stood up again, lifted the two drunkards who had turned into mud off the table, put them aside, then raised the bowl and continued drinking.
Yan Bing looked at the lively scene in front of him and didn't say anything, he just kept giggling.
Because she also drank too much...
But when she opened her eyes again, it was already early morning. She slowly stood up and looked around, confirming that it was still her own room...
Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He must have drunk too much last night and someone must have carried him in.
In a moment of confusion, he pushed the bed board with his hand, but found that the touch on his hand was not quite right...
A little too...soft...
Then he turned around to look, and immediately covered his mouth, almost not screaming!!!
I saw someone lying on my bed, and this person was none other than Li Lingyue!!!
But then he realized that she and he both slept in the same clothes. While he was relieved, he was also a little disappointed...
"Dong Guo, it's time to go to the morning court."
The guard's announcement suddenly sounded outside the door. Yan Bing's hair immediately stood up, and like a ghost, he rushed out of the room, grabbed the guard's mouth, and pushed him directly to the corner.
"Call your mother!!! Do you want to kill me?!??"
At this moment, Yan Bing was already sweating profusely, and the alarm bell of life kept wailing in his mind.
She has no memory of why Li Lingyue is in her bed, but she is absolutely certain that if Li Lingyue wakes up at this time, he will definitely beat herself to death, the kind that even the old man can't stop!!!
Beaten to death!!!
ps.
There was a strong wind last night and I don’t know where the air leaked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. I blew a "whistle" all night. It seemed like I didn't sleep all night. The state is extremely bad. Updates are also slow. Please forgive me for the poor state today and there may be less updates.
Please forgive me. The broken window is still whining now. I can’t even catch up on some sleep. I... ugh...
