Pinching the dumplings, Lu Hanqiang explained to his mother softly, "Uncle Zhang, the old man of Zhang's shopkeeper's family, I was just hired and invited, as for the carriage, it's not all your insistence, I really can't run in and out of the city."
Then he smiled and pleaded again: "Mother, you just agree to go into the city, or your son will be tired to death." ” Dumplings have been there for a long time, but no one wraps dumplings so small, Lu Hanqiang has always believed that the smaller the dumplings, the more flavorful they are, because they can be swallowed in one bite without being burned.
"Buying a carriage is also a sign of your identity, it's not impossible, but you're so luxurious, how much money does it cost" The mother rolled her dough, still noncommittal to her son's request, but complained about her son's waste.
At this time, Uncle Zhang took care of Xiaomei and Xiaohuang diligently in the yard.
Xiao Huang finally gave up the habit of hugging Lu Han's strong legs, but frolicked with this new partner Da Qingma, screaming in front of and behind him, showing that he was one of the owners of this family, Da Qingma was lazy to take care of him, just so peaceful grass, Xiao Huang was tired of playing, so he squatted on the ground to catch his breath, and then continued.
Xiaoya hugged the dried fruits bought by her brother and ate them vigorously, and asked Uncle Zhang some strange questions while eating, Uncle Zhang is an old man, and he has long seen that in this family, Xiaoya is the most favored by the young master, how can a little girl ask not only not to be asked, but to have a belly of fairy and ghost stories to tell, so that Xiaoya is fascinated.
Erlang was the most pleased, because his brother brought him a lot of books, although most of these books were miscellaneous notes, not the sage interpretation model he wanted, but this was already very satisfying, so he sat in front of the stove and watched the stove.
"You brought those willow branches to make charcoal, what are you doing here" The mother brought a basket of dumplings to the pot, and asked Lu Hanqiang puzzled.
"It's not that the Taoist priest said that the immortals need this thing to refine some pills to replenish the mother's body."
While making dumplings, he ran the train with his mouth, and now, fooling his mother, Lu Hanqiang is already familiar with it.
"Buddha Amitayus."
The mother prayed with her hands covered with flour, and her demeanor made Lu Hanqiang a little embarrassed.
"Actually, my mother's body is nothing, as long as the gods bless you without illness and disaster, even if your mother is broken, she is willing."
This is the heart of parents in the world.
By looking at the exuberance of the fire under the stove, when Lu Hanqiang stood up, he wiped his eyes, "Mother, you will enjoy happiness when you are old, I said at the beginning, I want to marry your most comfortable daughter-in-law, and then take seventeen or eighteen concubines, and give birth to children and grandchildren of a strengthening camp for you. ” "Mix it up."
The mother scolded with a smile: "What you said at the beginning were seven or eight concubines, how can there be ten more in a blink of an eye" and turned to a serious voice: "If you have money, you can't be so bad, as the so-called flowers are not good for a hundred days, and there are no people" "Mother, please spare me, I still want to eat."
Lu Hanqiang surrendered immediately, and if he didn't surrender, he wouldn't think about eating.
"Mix in" the mother smiled and scolded, a cage of dumplings was ready, and the mother shouted outside: "Little girl, eat dumplings." ” However, there was no answer from Xiaoya, because, at this time, he was puzzled by the story of a fox fairy prepared by Uncle Zhang.
Lu Han roared strongly: "Uncle Zhang, it's time to eat." ” Immediately, Uncle Zhang stood up quickly, left the little girl and entered the house, the master's words must be obeyed without discount, this is what a servant must do, although when it is time, Lu Hanqiang repeatedly told him that he was hired, or the old lady would be angry, but the upper and lower respects must be guarded, and there can be no mistakes.
"Young master, I'll move the table."
Uncle Zhang replied with trepidation.
"Don't be polite, brother, don't listen to my son's nonsense, once he shortens your salary, I will break his legs."
Uncle Zhang, the smiling blocker, worked with his hands.
Uncle Zhang was at a loss, and his eyes kept looking at Lu Hanqiang.
Lu Hanqiang said with one hand open: "Mother, Uncle Zhang is a diligent person, if he doesn't let him work, we will see him outside, or how to eat with us" Uncle Zhang heard that he was going to eat with his master, and the sweat came down at that time, this is unruly, this is kicking his nose and face, this is absolutely not good.
In the end, the family was still on the table, Xiao Huang was under the table, and Uncle Zhang squatted next to the carriage and ate a meal of dumplings.
After washing, watching the little girl sleep with her mother, Lu Hanqiang called Uncle Zhang, who was vigilantly guarding the carriage, to take out the sulfur and saltpeter he bought, and then in the yard, the charcoal kiln that had been sealed with mud before, took out the willow charcoal that had become white, "Uncle Zhang, you are old and knowledgeable, do you think that among these, it is better to choose those ones." ” Now, Lao Zhangtou is no longer able to refute the master's name one by one, listening to it warm, but even more apprehensive, but also helpless.
Squatting on the ground, just this candlelight, after carefully selecting, he said to Lu Hanqiang: "Owner, this is the best in this pile, it is burned thoroughly and has not been overfired, and the rest is considered good, but it is still worse than these." ” Lu Hanqiang picked up the charcoal contained in a piece of cloth and observed it carefully, this is indeed a good thing, white and delicate, and when he touched it lightly with his hand, it turned into powder. ” Looking at the owner's focused appearance, Uncle Zhang still said regretfully: "It's just that this good one is only about a catty, and it really can't be used for a lot, and it can only be burned for half an hour to warm the old lady, but it's a pity."
Looking outside, he volunteered: "Young master, wait a minute, I'll go and cut some willow branches now, and I must let the old lady not suffer from the cold this winter." ” Lu Hanqiang was quite satisfied with the willow charcoal in his hand, so there was no need to trouble Uncle Zhang to go out to cut down trees in the middle of the night, so he stood up, carefully walked to the east wing with these things, and began to tinker with his own things.
As for the purification of raw materials, there is no need for Lu Hanqiang to bother, the sulfur and saltpeter in the pharmacy have already been purified, or they are not so expensive, as long as they are mixed together according to the proportion.
As for the granulation, the largest process to increase the power of gunpowder, Lu Hanqiang thought about it or forget it, not that there is no egg white, but according to the current situation of Daming gunpowder, there is no granularization, if you really get it yourself, it will be a goof immediately.
Uncle Zhang, who started with it, maintained the principle of not squinting, and did whatever the young master told him to do, never ask more, never interject, in fact, he had already seen that this was making gunpowder, and he knew this thing.
However, now his deed of sale is in the hands of the young master's shopkeeper, but the young master did not let himself become a slave, but hired, and gave himself a sum of money to allow his family to survive, the most important thing is that he still has his own surname, and he can still worship his ancestors, this is the kindness of the heavens and the earth, from now on, the young master is in trouble, then he should be the first person to sacrifice his life.
When it was done, Lu Hanqiang hammered his waist and asked with a smile: "Do you know what this is" When he asked this, in the candlelight, Lu Hanqiang's face was full of smiles, but in Uncle Zhang's eyes, the young master's eyes were only gloomy and vigilant, and there was absolutely no smile.
"I know, this is the elixir practiced by Taoist priests."
Uncle Zhang replied tremblingly.
However, gritting his teeth, he said with difficulty: "I know what the young master is doing. ” Lu Hanqiang really laughed this time, this smile is the clouds and fog dispersed, and this smile is a family in trouble.
"No, it's gunpowder, real explosives, but, you remember, this recipe and this craftsmanship, you can't tell it even if it's rotten in your stomach."
Looking at Uncle Zhang, who nodded desperately, Lu Hanqiang cautiously warned while cleaning up the utensils: "This thing is the foundation of our life in the future, it must not be leaked, and it is a thing that wants our lives, once someone, including the imperial court, knows, it will kill us, don't worry, you say, should you say it?"
Uncle Zhang looked at Lu Hanqiang's eyes and said seriously: "I know." ” Lu Han hammered his waist and said casually: "By the way, Uncle Zhang, I see that you are very familiar with those soldiers at the city gate, please do something." ” "The young master just speaks."
The tone was not a little hesitant.
"I've got that leather bag on their waists, and you'll get me one tomorrow."
"No problem."
Lu Hanqiang turned around and said solemnly: "However, I don't want anyone to know that you got a leather bag like that, do you understand?"
"I understand."

Uncle Zhang immediately replied with an oath.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, get some wine, let's drink some wine, drink in front of my mother, it's time to say that I'm a loser."
Lu Hanqiang commanded easily.
Uncle Zhang immediately responded happily: "I know that the young master is hiding in the carriage, I will take it now, and our master and servant will have a good drink." ” After drinking too much, Lu Hanqiang staggered and said to Uncle Zhang: "You rest, I'll look for a Buddhist scripture to see, that thing is good."
Then he collapsed and fell unconscious. t1706231537:
