Chapter 202 Warlock? Gunpowder?
However, Ying Zheng himself forgot that there are many sorcerers in Xianyang City!
Although those warlocks have been captured now, their things are still being blocked.
Since Zhao Long just said that the first time this gunpowder was made was in the Qin Dynasty, then, aren’t there some saltpeter in the families of those warlocks now?
The saltpeter was not reused during the Qin and Han dynasties. Only a few warlocks, with the purpose of making random tricks, grinding all kinds of things into powder and mixing them. They saw these saltpeter and sulfur stones and
After the charcoal was mixed together, it reacted, and then it brought this thing to the stage of history.
However, because Qin Shihuang had not been asking for immortality for many years, he later killed all these sorcerers. Therefore, although people had a little understanding of saltpeter at this time, they did not pay much attention to it.
At most, during the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong mentioned this recipe in his book.
It was not until after the Tang and Song dynasties, especially after the second Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who was similar to Qin Shihuang, began to seek the method of immortality on a large scale, saltpeter and gunpowder were once again paid attention and promoted.
Of course, those warlocks will still use various recipes to refine alchemy. You often don’t know what the raw materials for this alchemy are.
No matter how mysterious or disgusting the ingredients, you may have it!
For example, boy urine, such as the feces of a certain bird, and even mercury...
Therefore, it is also very exciting to seek immortality and try various pills.
Gunpowder was promoted in the Song Dynasty and became the earliest muskets. In the Ming Dynasty, it was used for weapons from Shenji Camp and fireworks among the people.
This is the prototype of modern fireworks and firecrackers. Before that, fireworks and firecrackers really used to ignite bamboo that was crackling by deflation, rather than gunpowder.
"Yes, there are some saltpeter in the village outside..."
Ying Zheng immediately said, "I, let's get some!"
"Is that so? I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of things in the few villages outside!"
Zhao Long smiled after hearing this, "Well, if you can get more, you can get more. If you don't have enough, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
"Yeah, that's fine! Then take more!"
"promise!"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Han turned around and left.
It will take more than an hour to reach Xianyang City.
Therefore, if the sent people want to go back and forth, they need to be very quick!
"gentlemen……"
Ying Zheng did not forget to remind him, "Even if you go there for a while, it will take more than three hours. Is it time to go?"
"It's time!"
After hearing this, Zhao Long said, "Isn't it just six or seven hours? It's okay! We can deal with them with salt first!"
"Salt?"
"Yes, treat it with salt first, or salt water, and then wrap it in a cold water bag, which can slow down the deterioration of the meat."
Zhao Long said with a smile, "When I was a child, there was no refrigerator at home, so my family would sprinkle some salt first, and then bury it with a water bag. Although this is not frozen, it can also reduce the temperature and put it in a little."
"Haha, but that's the case?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled immediately, "This method is good. Looking back, I will try it too..."
"Oh, if we have saltpeter, it would be even easier!"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "Can you freeze the meat directly!"
"This, I was a little confused just now..."
Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Isn't this saltpeter very cool? So, can it be sprinkled on the meat to prevent it from corrupting?"
"No, ice making!"
Oh, ice making, right...
Am I fucking?
You wait!
After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng was shocked.
“Ice making?”
Ying Zheng looked at the sky, it was not dark either...
"Sir, do you know what month it is now? It's still long before the cold winter!"
Ying Zheng said, "Our mountain has never been that high and there is no snow covering it. How to make ice?"
"Saltpe is making ice!"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "I thought you knew..."
"I?"
Ying Zheng thought to himself, I thought this saltpeter was almost as cool as ice...
"I don't know..."
"Hey, you'll know if you look back..."
Zhao Long smiled and said, "It's great if Lao Zhang asks someone to take the saltpeter! I'll demonstrate it to you!"
“Yeah…Yeah?”
Ying Zheng was stunned, "Old Zhang? Who is it?"
"It's the guy next to you..."
Zhao Long was stunned, "Isn't his surname Zhang? I was wondering if his name is Zhang San. After all, there is a Li Si in our village..."
What?
oh……
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and then realized, Zhang!
What about Zhang San and Li Si? His name is Zhang Han, not Zhang Han!
This gentleman made a mistake in his relationship...
But it's pretty good...
"Oh, you usually call him Xiao Zhang, right?"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "After all, you are your follower. When I was in the company, my leader called Xiao Zhao!"
"Haha, yes..."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I call him Xiao Zhang..."
"Come on, let's go and deal with the meat first."
"good!"
Several people brought the meat back, took a plate of crushed salt, then took the meat and fat separately, and sprinkled with salt.
Then, some quilts were taken, the meat was wrapped, and placed under several bamboo pipe faucets.
Crazy...
The flowing water flowed, soaking the quilt, taking away streams of blood.
Compared to stagnant water, running water can take away heat, which is why cooked eggs are soaked in a cold water bowl, which is far less cool than rinsing a few times at the faucet.
"Village Chief! I've received it, I've received it!"
Finally, a group of soldiers rushed back with several large packages on their backs.
"Come here? Let me see!"
"promise!"
After hearing this, the soldiers put down the package they carried and untied it.
Suddenly, some not-so-pure saltpeter crystals appeared in front of Zhao Long and Ying Zheng.
A lot of land, piles after piles!
Damn?
Seeing this scene, Zhao Long was shocked.
"I said...we robbed the next village, right?"
Zhao Long said in surprise, "We can't do this robbery..."
I said it's more important, but this is too much, right?
Is there a saltpeter mountain in the next village?
Can you get so many in one go?
robbery?
After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng smiled, "Sir, don't get me wrong. We have always made good friends with the village next door. They still owe us money, so they don't care much about these!"
"Oh? That's it..."
Chapter completed!
