Chapter 44: Mixing Gunpowder and Making Arrows
At this time, Fang Fu walked in. Yunze was about to finish. If he drank more, the two of them would be drunk.
While he was awake, he asked some questions about the decoration. According to the current progress, it will be completely installed in about ten days, and the next step is to advertise.
The Zheng family didn't dare to cause trouble during this period, and Zheng Ying never showed up. Luo Qingcen couldn't afford to offend him, so of course he didn't dare to make trouble.
Luo Qingcen needs help when it comes to brainstorming advertisements. With her influence in Danyang City, it is definitely not difficult to start advertisements.
Yunze decided to find time to meet Luo Qingcen. The other party also came to see him several times in the past few days. Yunze has been busy and has no time to meet Luo Qingcen.
After asking what he wanted to ask, Yunze pushed Su Qianmo, who was a little dizzy, and walked back.
After leaving the restaurant and passing by a bamboo forest, Yunze stopped. He walked into the bamboo forest, took the dagger hidden on his body, and chopped down one of the bamboos.
However, his body was a little weak. After cutting for a long time, he could only cut off one third of it.
Yunze was very good at using his skills, but he relied on brute force to chop bamboo, and it was obviously a bit difficult for him.
Su Qianmo on the side couldn't stand it, so she reached out and grabbed Yunze's dagger, and raised her hand to chop at the root of the bamboo. The bamboo, which was as big as the bottom of a bowl, was immediately chopped off.
Yunze extended his thumb to her, then pointed to the top of the bamboo, making a cutting gesture. Su Qianmo rolled her eyes at Yunze, but she still decisively cut off the place pointed by Yunze.
She also considerately cut off the excess branches on the bamboo. Yunze took the dagger, picked up the bamboo and walked back.
When she returned home, Luo Yunniang looked surprised when she saw Su Qianmo coming back, but she didn't say anything and greeted Su Qianmo warmly.
Judging from the way the two of them were chatting and laughing, I guess they became very familiar with each other when Yun Ze was away.
At night, Yunze continued to sleep among the piles of cloth, leaving his bed to Su Qianmo, while Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi slept on the other side.
Su Qianmo didn't show any discomfort when she was in the same room with Yunze. After all, this was how she slept when she was injured before.
The children of Jianghu do not have those particularities.
Early the next morning, Yunze asked Su Qianmo to stay at home and went out to buy some saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal.
Saltpeter and sulfur can be purchased in pharmacies. Ancient people used them as medicinal materials.
Of course, there are also shops specializing in selling saltpeter and sulfur, and these shops also sell firecrackers.
Gunpowder has been around for a long time, but in this era, everyone only used gunpowder in fireworks.
In addition, due to the mixing ratio, gunpowder is not very powerful and no one uses it in the military. It is really useless to use.
After returning home, Yunze started preparing gunpowder in the side room. Since he was going to help Su Qianmo, of course he had to make some killing weapons that would increase Su Qianmo's confidence.
After successfully mixing the gunpowder, Yunze made several bamboo tubes from the bamboo he brought back last night.
Fill it with the prepared gunpowder, then use rice paper to make a fuse and seal it.
Compared with other rough papers, rice paper makes the best fuses.
Su Qianmo looked at Yunze busy there in surprise, and for a moment she didn't understand what Yunze wanted to do.
Yunze made six bamboo bombs and took Su Qianmo out. He needed to find a place to test the power of the bamboo bombs.
Not far from where they lived, there was an abandoned earth shrine. Although it was abandoned, the shrine was made of rough stones.
It has not fallen over despite being exposed to wind, sun or rain, and is still quite strong.
Yunze glanced at Su Qianmo, and in her puzzled eyes, he placed a bamboo bomb into the shrine.
After lighting the fuse, Yunze pulled the astonished Su Qianmo and ran back.
Su Qianmo cursed in her heart, and was so surprised that it didn't matter!
But before she could even utter her slanderous words, there was a loud noise behind her, and the surrounding area was shaken.
There were many arrow-like things flying past beside her. They were thrust straight into the trees in front of them and penetrated deeply. She looked behind her in horror.
I saw that the shrine had been torn into pieces and was directly blown down.
"This..." She pointed at the shrine in shock, and then pointed at the bamboo bomb in Yunze's hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"You said that if there are enough of these things, can the imperial troops capture your Dragon Head Mountain?"
Yunze looked at Su Qianmo with a smile, and handed a bamboo bomb to Su Qianmo's hand.
After receiving the bamboo bomb, driven by curiosity, Su Qianmo found a place with lush trees and lit the fuse.
This time she learned the lesson and took Yunze to hide behind one of the trees.
With a loud noise, bamboo shavings flew everywhere. The surrounding trees were filled with bamboo shavings and penetrated deeply into the trees.
Looking at the place where the explosion occurred, a half-meter-sized pit was blasted there.
Su Qianmo looked at the pit in shock and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She never thought that the black stuff prepared by Yunze could be so powerful.
Even if there were a lot of firecrackers piled up, they wouldn't be able to create such a big crater. Her face instantly showed a look of ecstasy.
With this ultimate weapon, let alone the army, even letting her attack Danyang City would not be a problem.
The restless and chaotic mood of the past few days disappeared instantly and was replaced by ecstasy.
"Great! Yunze, with this thing, if Cheng Ying attacks our Longtou Mountain, he will never come back."
She grabbed Yunze's hand in surprise, her face filled with gratitude.
But soon, she seemed to feel the warmth in Yunze's hand, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she quickly took her hand back.
On the way home, her face was still red and her whole expression was a little erratic.
After arriving home, Yunze wrote a recipe for making gunpowder to Su Qianmo. His recipe was the one with the best gunpowder ratio.
Because of the different proportions, the power of the explosion has been increased countless times. If you buy gunpowder from a firecracker shop, I am afraid it will not reach the current power of the explosion.
In the next five days, Yunze went back and forth between Wanghu Restaurant and his home. He met Luo Qingcen several times, and the two of them also discussed advertising in the restaurant.
In addition to fighting in a circle of talented people and wealthy people, Yunze also asked Luo Qingcen to find someone to print some leaflets.
Before the restaurant opened, Yunze made a fuss in the whole city about wanting to open Wanghu Restaurant. The gimmick of the restaurant was Bi Wen and Gao Di Liquor.
Within a few days, through Luo Qingcen's efforts, almost everyone in Danyang City was talking about Wanghu Restaurant, and many people came here even before it opened.
Yunze saw many people crowded in front of Wanghu Restaurant several times. During this period, Luo Qingcen often came over to help.
He said it was to help, but in fact, most of the time, he came to meet Yunze. Most of the time, the two of them talked about each other.
