Dreaming Back to Chang'an City 168 Tang Ping's First Shot in Datang
"Li Tai, go downstairs to find Lao Cui. There are still some firecrackers left today, so ask him to hang them for you."
"Here!" Li Tai put away his notebook and ran down happily to find Lao Cui.
"Cheng Chumo, go and find Wang Tieniu below. There are still some iron pipes used for decoration."
"Here!" Although Cheng Chumo didn't know what the experiment was, he knew it must be very interesting.
"Li Bai, I'll ask you Sister Luo for two bottles of Coke and cans."
"Okay!" Li Bai also ran away.
The opening ceremony that was originally arranged was directly interrupted due to such an emergency.
Many passers-by who were attracted by the sound of firecrackers were talking about it.
"Is this a new restaurant?" This belongs to the pure melon-eating crowd.
"It seems yes, hey, this name is Xihelou, it's a bit interesting!" This is a bit cultural, and I know what Xihe and Wangshu mean.
"But can you open the door? I said I'll try it out!" This is a potential customer.
"Shopkeeper, what do you think they are doing?" The halls of Wangshu Tower, who were shocked by the grand opening movements opposite, gathered together.
"How do I know?" Manager Wang glanced at the several halls around him: "What are you doing idle? When someone opens a business, we don't have to do business anymore? Do you still want to eat today? If you want to eat, why don't you hurry up and pick up customers for me?"
A few runners ran out quickly, and a few of them were even more flexible and shouted: "Hey, dear uncles, this restaurant is first drunk and then eating, and everything else is false. Today, we are 10% off to pay the guests to Wangshu Tower, and there are also famous chefs in Huaiyang invited from Huaiyang. He cooks the dishes, even the emperor of Dongyue and King Zheng who ate it!"
When running a restaurant, the traffic flow outside the store is an important factor. There are usually many people at this intersection, and today I am attracted by the firecrackers from Xihelou.
Originally, if Xihelou could open its doors and open business at this time, many people in the crowd would probably want to go in and try it out.
But now the Xihe Building suddenly became quiet, and those who originally wanted to eat could only turn to Wangshu Building.
Manager Wang's face was so funny that he was about to crack. He was shocked by the fact that Xihelou had such a big fight. Now it seems that he was just making a wedding dress for himself.
In the quiet Xihe Building on the other side, Tang Ping directed Wang Tieniu, Li Tai and others.
"Cut this iron pipe a little shorter, right, it's almost done just that long. Then this end will be sealed, it will definitely be sealed."
"Li Tai, do you see that you have broken the firecrackers like this? These black and gray ones are gunpowder, so you should carefully collect them together."
Then Tang Ping took out the can of the cola that he had finished drinking: "Also, who can use this to hammer out a few small projectiles, just make it into small balls."
"Let me come!" Yuchi Jingde stood up, with an iron tower-like body, taking the can handed to him by Tang Ping with one hand, and blocking the hammer handed to him by Tang Ping with the other hand.
With two clatters, he pinched the can.
Then just pull a piece of it in your hands and rub it in your hands like rubbing plasticine.
In the blink of an eye, the can just now turned into a few small projectiles mixed with silver and blue.
Then Wang Tieniu quickly made an iron pipe with only a small hole sealed and left behind. Wang Tieniu also used scrap wood to make a shelf for it and fixed it.
Li Tai and Cheng Chumo also made a small pile of gunpowder.
In fact, Tang Ping, who was a child, made this thing with Li Shan and Gou Shaoqun, was to use the gunpowder in the firecrackers to make a small cannon.
But they used bamboo tubes at that time, but since there are iron pipes here, of course it is better to have iron pipes.
I inserted a lead into the reserved small hole, then made a funnel with paper, and shook the powder into it.
Then, compared with the diameter of the iron pipe, he stuffed the sludge that Li Bai found in, poked it with a chopstick until he felt that all the gunpowder inside had been compacted.
I picked a few of the small projectiles pinched out by Yuchi Jingde and went in.
During this whole process, everyone watched him operate without making any noise. Only Li Tai took out his notebook and used a ballpoint pen to brush it, not knowing what he was recording.
Until now, a whole small cannon has been made, but Tang Ping is not very clear whether it can sound or how powerful it is.
On the side of the fourth floor, there are sunshade curtains. When the sun is big, put them down, and people sitting by the window will not feel hot.
At this time, Tang Ping had already asked someone to put down the curtain and pointed the small earth cannon he had made against the curtain. Otherwise, how could he see the effect if a blank cannon was fired?
After thinking about it, he asked Li Bai to go downstairs to get a bottle of wine, put it on the fence on the fourth floor, and then closed one eye and pretended to aim.
In fact, this standard is completely unnecessary, because the earth cannon he made temporarily has almost no progress, and the projectile inside is still a shotgun. He can only pray that if the direction is right, a blind cat will encounter a dead mouse and hit the bottle.
"Boy Tang, are you okay?" Yuchi Jingde wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he was a little impatient when he waited.
"Okay OK!" Tang Ping waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat behind him. Who knows what the result was this Tang Dynasty's first shot?
If someone here is injured, it will be troublesome.
Carefully lit the exposed lead with a lighter.
The leads were sizzling with sparks, getting shorter and shorter, and everyone's eyes were moving with the little spark.
Finally, all the leads exposed outside the iron pipe were burned out.
"Why didn't you react? You can hear a loud fart!" Yuchi Jingde murmured in a low voice.
Then before he finished speaking, a loud bang shocked everyone.
This sound was much louder than the firecrackers downstairs just now, and the few people were closer to each other, and now their ears were buzzing.
Then everyone saw that the bottle placed on the fence suddenly became fragmented. The reason why they didn't hear the sound was because the sound of the small earth cannon just now was too loud, covering up the sound of the bottle shattering.
Then several holes were made into the curtain.
The small earth cannon on the table here has now turned on the table because it only has a piece of scrap wood shelf.
Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie ran to the fence, looked carefully, took a breath after taking a breath.
Chapter completed!
