Li Shimin picked up a piece of pig ear, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and exclaimed: "What is this dish made of? It's very crispy."
Zhang San complained in his heart that Li Shimin had never seen the world and didn't even recognize pig ears.
"Mr. Lang, this dish is called cold pig ears. My young master taught us how to make it. It tastes good, right?" Muramasa explained with a smile.
"Yes, it suits my taste very well. I didn't expect you, Zhang San, to study dishes!"
"Lang Jun is laughing. He has nothing to do but study. If you like it, you can eat more." Zhang San replied.
"Did the divine thunder also come from blind research?" The reason why Li Shimin came to Zhangjiacun non-stop tonight was to see the divine thunder and ask Zhang San how the divine thunder was made and whether he had been
"Others" know.
Hearing this, Zhang San also knew why Li Shimin was not working hard to reproduce the Tang Dynasty with the three thousand beauties in the harem at night, but why he came to this rural place for what he was doing.
"That's not possible. This is a long story. How about I talk to the Emperor...Langjun another day?" Zhang San almost let it slip, but luckily he stopped it in time.
"Haha, there is no need to change the date. After dinner, I will go to your house to sit and chat." Li Shimin chuckled, thinking that I don't know what story you, this naughty guy, will make up for me another day.
"Um...that..."
"Why, do you mean I'm not welcome to your place?"
Li Shimin saw Zhang San hesitating, glanced at Zhang San, and put a few pieces of pig ears on the plate into his bowl.
"How could it be? Of course I'm welcome, welcome... Haha." Zhang San smiled bitterly inwardly, but fortunately a year ago, he was worried that Li Shimin would ask him some unexplainable questions in the future, so he was fully prepared.
I just don’t know if I can deceive Li Shimin.
Seeing that his son seemed a little afraid of this husband, Muramasa secretly guessed the identity of this middle-aged man, but no matter how Muramasa guessed, he would never have thought that the person sitting in front of him was the current emperor Li Shimin.
Due to the arrival of Li Shimin, this welcome feast ended hastily.
"Let's go and sit at your house." Li Shimin stood up and said with a smile.
"Okay, Muramasa, classmate, let's go back first." Zhang San said hello to a few people and went home with Li Shimin.
After returning home, Xiaomei, Xiaoyu and others bowed to Li Shimin and then went back to the inner courtyard to rest.
"Xiaoyu, go to the study and help me get that strange book." Zhang San said to Xiaoyu who was about to leave.
"Okay, sir." After Xiaoyu said that, she hurried to the study room.
"What strange book?" Li Shimin asked while sitting there drinking tea.
"Didn't the Emperor want to know what the divine thunder was? I learned all of this from that strange book." Zhang San explained.
"Oh, there is such a record in the book? Why didn't you tell me about it before?" Li Shimin asked.
"Well, the emperor never asked me!" Zhang San pretended to be stupid and said, "This thing was made with Xiaoyu just a year ago, and you were sent to the border post after the year. You should give me a chance to tell you!"
Zhang San kept complaining in his heart.
"Ha!" Li Shimin sneered: "What is written in this book?"
"There are some ingenious things recorded in it. The emperor will know it when he takes a look at it. I think this book is really a wonderful book."
After Zhang San finished speaking, he said sadly: After you see this book, it will definitely blind you.
Just as the two were asking and answering questions, Xiaoyu came in holding a yellowed book.
When Li Shimin saw this book, the cover was wrinkled and somewhat damaged. The handwriting on many pages inside was not very clear. There were also illustrations. What was rare was that these illustrations were in color, but they seemed to be from a long time ago and there were no
With proper protection, many things cannot be seen clearly.
Xiaoyu and Zhang San looked at each other, a little uneasy in their hearts. The content of this book was written by the two of them. They also found potions to make it old, and buried it underground for a while. For this book, Zhang San
But a lot of brain cells died.
This book is a bit like a travelogue, and the recorded things are also messy. It looks like the author casually recorded what he saw and heard, and there are many special terms.
Zhang San asked Xiaoyu to go back and rest first, while he sat here and read with Li Shimin.
Xu Huang stood behind Li Shimin, like a sculpture, not even moving his eyes.
Li Shimin opened this strange book and saw that although he knew many of the words in it, he had no idea what they meant when put together. Fortunately, there were illustrations next to many of the words.
After a cup of tea, Li Shimin rubbed his brow and asked, "Why haven't I seen any records about divine thunder?"
Li Shimin searched for a long time, but found no records about divine thunder. Instead, he found many crops that he had never seen or heard of, as well as various tools and some pictures that looked a bit like myths.
"Your Majesty, these are actually just misinformation from the outside world. Where did the divine thunder come from? If I can control the divine thunder, then it will be okay."
"But many people have seen it with their own eyes. It's impossible for Cheng Yaojin to lie to me, right?" Li Shimin asked, staring into Zhang San's eyes.
"Of course Uncle Cheng didn't lie to the emperor, but he didn't know the principle behind it. The so-called divine thunder was the gunpowder. I only used it a little bit. In addition, those bumpkin Xue Yantuo had never seen the world, so they used it.
Weapons made of gunpowder are called divine thunder..."
After listening to Zhang San's explanation, Li Shimin always felt that this guy was criticizing mulberry trees and locust trees, but Li Shimin didn't care. He found the chapter that recorded gunpowder, and saw only a few scrawls of monosulfur, dinitrate, and charcoal written on it, as well as a symbol of an explosion of flames.
"You created the divine thunder just by relying on this?" Li Shimin felt that Zhang San was insulting his IQ.
"Of course not, it can't be that easy. Look, there are still a few small characters here that are not so clear." Zhang San pointed to the two blurry handwriting under the flame and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin didn't notice it at first, just because the words were written in a relatively small size and were very vague, "mixed and ignited like thunder from the sky."
"Then what?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.
"Then I didn't believe it, so I tried it myself, and failed five or six times in succession. I thought the book was just a lie to me, but that's how the high-spindle car came about in the first place, so I just got angry and tried again.
Once, I actually discovered it, which shocked me at the time."
Zhang San told Li Shimin with an exaggerated expression how perseverant he was and how he overcame numerous hardships, just like the Foolish Old Man moving mountains.
"Sit down, I believe you for now, I ask you, can you leak this to others? Don't even think about hiding it from me!"
Li Shimin stared at Zhang San with a very serious expression and asked.
"I know it myself. How dare I let outsiders know about such a powerful thing? I even thought of finding an opportunity to present it to you, the Emperor. As a result, I was sent to the border."
Seeing Zhang San spreading his hands, looking very aggrieved, Li Shimin said angrily: "That's not because you are a bitch. If I hadn't thought that you were still useful, grass would have grown on your grave by now."
"Haha, what the emperor taught you is that I won't dare to do it anymore. I will give this book to you, the emperor, as well as the formula of the gunpowder and my research experience. I will never do this again.
Touched."
Since Li Shimin knew about this sharp weapon, he would naturally not trust it in the hands of outsiders. Zhang San understood this very well.
