Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 262 Leisurely
Cheng Chubi did not come alone, he rode up the mountain by himself, followed by a carriage from his family.After Cheng Chubi was beaten, the carriage wobbled up the hill, and the guards checked it carefully before letting it in.

There were a lot of good things on the carriage, all sent by Cheng Yaojin.

According to Cheng Chubi, the old Cheng was afraid that Fang Jun, a pampered dude, would suffer hardship in the mountains, so he sent a car full of delicious food and drink.

Cheng Chubi went out and took a ceramic pot from the car, waved the rest of the things, and told the driver to send them directly to the warehouse. They were all food, so hurry up and eat them, otherwise they would spoil.

Returning to Fang Jun's room with ceramic jars in his hands, Cheng Chubi found two large bowls, unsealed the jars, and poured the viscous amber wine into the bowls, a faint sweet fragrance wafted in the air Diffuse.

It is actually the best Western Region glucose wine!
"Uncle spent a lot of money!" Fang Jun said, not politely, but really touched.

Who is Cheng Yaojin?Even in front of His Majesty Li Er, he is still an unscrupulous character. If he has a good temper, he will be right!It often made His Majesty Li Er furious, but beating was neither scolding nor scolding, and he had nothing to do with him.

But in the eyes of others, Cheng Yaojin is more like a demon king in the world!

If there is an advantage, take advantage of it, never suffer a loss, and fight if you don't accept it!
love whoever!
But everyone thinks that this guy is just a cowardly, unintentional person who explodes when he gets angry, and can hook shoulders with you when he turns his face, as if he's okay!So when mentioning Old Devil Cheng, everyone gritted their teeth, but even the most insidious eldest grandson Wuji would not hold grudges.

This is an unscrupulous person, what's the point of getting angry with him?

But now, Cheng Yaojin actually gave him a special gift, which really flattered Fang Jun.Regardless of whether it was because of the company's affairs that tied everyone to the same boat, at least Cheng Yaojin's status and status can still be so close, it is a very happy thing.

"This wine is as expensive as hell, and it's not very good to drink. It's not as good as your fruit wine."

Cheng Chubi took a sip and began to complain.

Fang Jun took a sip. The taste was not bad. It didn't have the severe tannic astringency of the local fruit wine in Guanzhong. It was sweet and mellow, which was quite good.

This kind of Western Region grape wine is extremely expensive in the market.

It's also quite expensive, not to mention the quality of the wine, just the transportation along the Silk Road and the Gobi desert, even if the loss on the road is not counted, the shipping fee is a sky-high price!

It is estimated that the weather is too hot, and the wine is slightly warm, which affects the taste.

Fang Jun took the wine jar and went to the kitchen, Cheng Chubi blinked and followed.

There are a lot of saltpeter in the barracks now, almost filling up the entire storeroom, so I ordered the cook to find a few big pieces and throw them all into a big water tank.

Looking at the bewildered Cheng Chubi, Fang Jun said stinkingly: "Brother, please drink iced grape wine!"

Cheng Chubi blinked his eyes, thinking that the water in your water tank is not cold, what's the use?
Then the next moment, he almost popped his eyeballs out!
I saw that the water in the tank began to react violently after adding saltpeter, the water splashed and rolled, and there were explosions from time to time, as if a pot was boiling.Cold boiled water must be available at almost any time as long as Fang Jun is there. Pour cold boiled water from the kettle into a copper basin. .

Then, under the gaze of Cheng Chubi's unbelievable big eyes, white ice patterns began to appear on the surface of the water, and the surface of the cup of tea was covered by white ice, and the water in the copper basin also began to freeze...

Cheng Chubi carefully touched the ice surface with his hand, took a deep breath, even ran to the door and looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and then asked in shock: "Brother, how did you do it? This is Mayday, the water actually freezes, who would believe it?"

This has seriously surpassed his cognition, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed!

Fang Jun said indifferently: "There are many things you don't believe in. Brother, I am a scholar of heaven and man, and I am a genius born in the world. Following brother, there are many benefits!"

"This trick is too powerful!" Cheng Chubi was very excited, and he said, "it's not yet summer, and the imperial court has not started to give ice to officials, and the ice is made by brother's method and sold in the market. Can make a lot of money!"

Fang Jun was speechless, such a boring hammer, with such a flexible mind, could come up with such a clever idea?
"No problem, my brother will write the recipe to you later, you can also dissolve the icing sugar and a little spice in the water, and then put the water in the basin; you can also add fruit or juice, or even fruit pulp and milk..."

This is the Tang version of ice cream, right?

Cheng Chubi was very excited, and slapped his hands: "I'll go and study it when I get home. If I didn't say anything, I'll count it for you... But then again, whose brother are you?"

Fang Jun didn't bother to pay attention to him, it's the most important thing to drink iced grape wine right now.

There is a row of willow trees at the gate of the barracks. When the old house was demolished, Fang Jun kept these trees. It was a wise decision.

The soft wicker hangs down stretched, and when the wind blows occasionally, it sways gently like the soft waist of a little girl...

Leaning against the willow tree, looking at the mountains in the distance, drinking refreshing chilled grape wine, I feel the heat disappearing.The crystal clear ice hit the wall of the bowl, tinkling, and it sounded like a moving ditty at this moment, making people feel refreshed from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.

Neither of them was in the mood to talk, they just stared at the emerald green mountains and the guards walking past in neat steps, shouting "one, two, three, four" from time to time.Cheng Chubi drained the wine from the bowl in one gulp, took advantage of the coolness and fell asleep, and after a while, thunderous snores sounded.

Fang Jun didn't feel sleepy, he took small sips of the fine wine in the bowl, and occasionally picked up an ice cube and chewed it in his mouth, which was very pleasant.

There was a puff of black smoke rising from the hillside in the distance, and then the muffled sound came into the ears. Those old craftsmen found that the "new weapon" they developed seemed to be very powerful, and they were working day and night to find the best formula. The experiment seems to rejuvenate the nth spring of life, completely tireless...

Fang Jun would like to see that they can really develop the perfect ratio of mononitrate, disulfide and tricharcoal, which can save him a lot of trouble.And the title of "Gunpowder Inventor" is really not rare for him.Just thinking about the huge changes that this monster has caused to human civilization after it was released by him makes one shudder.

Many times, it is one thing to watch others do it, and another thing to do it yourself...

But for the little bit of self-worth in his heart, as well as his sympathy for this nation that has been bullied by nomadic cavalry, he had to open this Pandora's box with his own hands...

Cheng Chubi slept for a long time, woke up full of energy, asked Fang Jun how to make ice with saltpeter, and hurried home, intending to tinker with his own plan to make a fortune.For him, although he was absorbed into the list of shareholders of "East Datang Company" by Fang Jun, he is actually just a puppet and really has no say. He is also very competitive and has a strong desire to express himself.

This is a good thing, without desire | how can human beings progress?
After dinner, Fang Jun drove all the old craftsmen back to their barracks to sleep.He's getting old and sleepless, is this going to kill him?

The entire barracks fell silent, except for the occasional footsteps of guards patrolling outside the window.

Fang Jun didn't feel sleepy, and leaned over the desk, studying the mathematics works of this era one by one. "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Nine Chapters of Suan Shu", "Sea Island Suan Jing", "Sun Tzu Suan Jing", "Xiahou Yang Suan Jing", "Zhang Qiu Jian Suan Jing", "Zhu Shu", "Five Cao Suan Jing" ", "Five Classics of Arithmetic", "Jigu Arithmetic"... These mathematical works represent the glorious achievements of ancient Chinese mathematics.

It's just that for Fang Jun, the language in the book is too obscure and difficult to understand. It seems very difficult, but he must read it.

Otherwise, it would be too abnormal for him to take out the "Mathematics" which is 1000 years beyond this era, but have not even read the most basic ancient calculation scriptures.

This is the same as the "Obsessed Formation of Doubt" that is currently developing black powder, try to make others less suspicious of him, otherwise everything will accumulate, and he will have to show his true form as a monster...

Just when he was feeling dizzy, the door of the room was gently knocked open, and Wei Ying, the youngest member of the guards, poked his head in. First, he looked enviously at Fang Jun, who was reading by Bingzhu Ye. The owner of the house is really talented and hardworking. Readers!

Then he said excitedly: "Patriarch, I found a spy!"

Fang Jun was taken aback. Was this someone thinking about it?
