Silver Overlord
v1 Chapter 23: chance encounter
Bian Yan Liqiang walked around Huanglong County alone, but it took more than an hour and asked two people that he had come to Chaoyang Lane in the county and found the ice shop in the alley.
冰 The name of this ice shop is Chaoyang Ice Shop. In the middle of the alley, Yan Liqiang walked to the alley and saw the sign hanging outside the ice shop. When he saw the sign, Yan Liqiang walked over.
In the last life, Yan Liqiang also thought that eating popsicles in summer was a patent of modern people after the invention of the refrigerator, and until one time he saw a cultural relic auction on TV, one of the cultural relics was an ancient ice box. Listen When the host introduced him, he knew that the ancient Chinese, from the Tang Dynasty, could drink cold drinks and popsicles in the summer, and then he suddenly found that he had no culture.
The ancients did not use refrigerators to make ice, but saltpeter. When saltpeter dissolved in water, it quickly absorbed the heat in the water and turned the water into ice. The ancients used this characteristic of saltpeter to make ice cubes- Fill two large and one small basins with water, place the small basin in the large basin, and then pour saltpeter into the large basin. When the large basin freezes, the inside of the small basin also freezes.
This world is the same, except that people who can enjoy ice cubes in the summer are rich people. Therefore, ice-making ice shops are only available in economically prosperous counties or large cities. Of course, there are also some local tyrants. There is an ice room that can make ice. For example, the Hong family in Liuhe Town, Yan Liqiang remembers that when he was young, once a year, during the hottest days, Hong Tao, who was two years older than himself, added one every afternoon. The scene of rock candy popsicles coming to the school in the town is just like the tyrant driving Rolls Royce to the countryside, so far he still remembers it.
It's summer. It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon. The old trees in the alley are screaming, the sun above them is poisonous, and the ground is steaming. A few children are salivating outside the ice shop. The head of the brain peered into the ice shop, and a guy in the ice shop wearing a blue folk costume was standing at the door of the ice shop, like a scarecrow who drove a sparrow in the rice field, banging the children, "Go, Do n’t block the door here, you want to eat ice, and I ’ll ask you for money ... ”
礼 Yan Liqiang walked into the ice shop when his brother blasted the children away.
Unlike the outside, Yan Liqiang felt that the temperature in the ice shop was several degrees lower than the outside when he entered the ice shop.
There is a counter in the shop. Behind the counter are a few freezer with wood exterior and tin floor inside.
A guy stood behind the counter, and after looking at Yan Liqiang's eyes, he thought that Yan Liqiang's age should not be like a kid who came here to cheat and drink, and a smile appeared on his face. We welcome all kinds of ice, pure ice, iced sugar, and bayberry juice, and the price is reasonable. I don't know which one this customer wants? "
Hearing the ice with bayberry juice, Yan Liqiang felt that the saliva in his mouth popped out, unfortunately, he knew that the ice sold in these ice shops was at least the size of a washbasin. One piece, it is a family-to-household demand. Like the popsicles that Hong Tao used to eat, only large households are willing to make them. These small shops will not make ice cubes as small as popsicles because the cost is calculated. Gao said that ordinary children can't even afford it.
Tong Yan Liqiang tried to make a pure smile on his face, and then he opened his mouth to the guy, "Ahem, do you have saltpeter here?"
"What are you talking about?" The guys in the shop were surprised.
"I mean saltpeter, saltpeter for ice making, I want to buy some!"
"We only sell ice here, not saltpeter!" The smile on the guy's face converged a little bit. If it wasn't for the smile on Yan Liqiang's face, I'd be afraid to blast him out.
"I know, I'll buy a little bit, I don't know if it can be convenient!"
My dude shook his head resolutely. "We don't sell saltpeter here. You can look elsewhere. Besides the shopkeeper's absence, I can't be the master ..."
"Do you know where saltpeter is sold?"
"I do not know either!"
I was talking, there was a guest coming in, and the guy would no longer care about Yan Liqiang and went to greet the new guest.
Looking at the man's face, Yan Liqiang knew that the sale was impossible to reach. He touched his nose and walked out of the shop.
Uh ...
Yan Liqiang wandered around the county seat of Huanglong County for a whole few hours behind him. He never expected that it would be so difficult to buy some saltpeter.
He has visited all three ice shops, but none of them is willing to sell saltpeter to him, which makes Yan Liqiang almost crazy. Things like saltpeter are very narrow. In the whole county, except ice shops, he does n’t Know where there is something like saltpeter.
Fortunately, Yan Liqiang's communication ability is very powerful. Since it cannot be bought in the saltpeter shop, he finally learned from the clerk of an ice shop that he had purchased a leather goods in Shiqiao Town, a commercial town outside Huanglong County. There are saltpeter supplies in the firm.
Yan Liqiang patted his head, which reminded me that saltpeter can be used for tanning leather in addition to making ice. The firm in the town of Shiqiao not only collects leather, but also supplies some raw materials for tanning leather, such as lime and saltpeter. Things like that.
Uh ...
When Yan Liqiang walked out of the firm in Shiqiao Town, it was almost evening, and the sun was about to set.
The saltpeter in the business is supplying customers in large quantities. Those customers are tens of kilograms and hundreds of kilos when they buy it. When he went in and said that he would buy a pound of saltpeter, he was almost kicked out by the folks in the business. People thought he was going to be funny. In the end, Yan Liqiang took out the silver, and the guys in the commercial bank only sold him a little doubtful, but the price was "astronomical" compared to saltpeter. Two dollars of silver, In the end, I only bought a catty.
Yan Liqiang, who walked out of the business, touched the couple of saltpeters in his arms, exhaling a long breath, this time he only bought a little and went back to try if he could match the gunpowder. If it works, he will naturally have a way to get it Saltpeter.
I looked up at the sky, it was not too early. If it was too late to return to the artisan camp, it would make Qian Su worried but not good.
I thought so, Yan Liqiang walked towards the square in the center of the town not far away.
Shiqiao Town is a big business town. There are many merchants from south to north. The square in the center of the town is surrounded by shops and restaurants. Many people also set up stalls directly on the side of the square, selling some herbs and miscellaneous soil. Such things are also in the square when renting a carriage.
As soon as Yan Liqiang walked to the edge of the square and was about to call a carriage, he saw the four riding rhinoceros rushing into the square mountain from a distance like the wind. The four riders on the rhinoceros jumped off the horseback and one of them went from the saddle. Picked up a gong on the top, and quickly knocked.
In my last life, I visited the forums online. If I want to watch and spread the comments, I will put the post on the top, or let the big V repost, and there is no internet or forum in this world. I heard that in some big cities There are newspapers, but Yan Liqiang hasn't seen them. In addition to the government's ability to post various announcements, ordinary people want to speak out in public and attract others' attention. It is the fastest way to hit the gongs in a crowded place.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the four riders who came to the square riding the rhinoceros horse gathered around a large number of people around the square.
Because it's the sound of things around him, Yan Liqiang was crowded in the crowd, looking at the excitement, and wanted to see what the two people were going to do.
The four riders, one is older, the other three are younger, the older one looks at the clothes on the body, seems to be the steward of a large family, and the three younger riders seem to be a nursing home Family and the like.
At this time, both the older steward and the three younger nursing homes were sweaty and anxious. The younger three nursing homes were better, the older supervisor, The whole person was panting and pale.
"Isn't that person in charge of the Lu family, what is this for?"
A small stall merchant beside Yan Yanqiang looked at the steward, and curiously said to the people next to him that he was just heard by Yan Liqiang.
Lu Family, Yan Liqiang seemed to have heard it before he came to Huanglong County. There is a big family in Huanglong County that has been inherited for hundreds of years. It is the Lu family. However, Yan Liqiang does n’t know if the people around him are listening The Lu family said, after all, there are more than one family in Huanglong County with the surname Lu.
I saw hundreds of people around me in an instant, and the group was already around. The manager took a few breaths and calmed down. When he raised his hand, the family member who knocked on the gong stopped.
Lu Guan held a fist in front of him, looked around, and then said aloud, "Dear folks, friends, I am the director of Lujiazhuang in Lushan Mountain, called Lu Wenbin. Some friends may know me. Today I came here and wanted to I have an urgent matter, and I do n’t know if there is a secret recipe for drowning people among your friends and family. A child in Lianhua Village drowned today, so I ’m here for help! ”
Mr. Lu Lu looked at the crowd with hopeful eyes, but the crowd was silent for a while, everyone was a little confused, Yan Liqiang was also confused, some people in the Lu family drowned, and it was strange to come here for help.
"Lu Guanzhuang, there is a child drowning in Lujiazhuang. You should hurry to find a doctor. Lujia is so rich. What kind of doctor can't be found? Why did you come here?" Among the crowd, someone immediately asked loudly He wondered everyone.
Lu Guanshi was silent for a few seconds, and then said aloud, "The doctor has already found, the best doctors in Hepingxi City of Huanglong County are already in Lujiazhuang, but the children have drowned for three or four hours. Several doctors are helpless, no Method, that ’s why I came to ask my fellow villagers to see if you have any secret recipes. If you can save people, the Lu family will be grateful. Even if you ca n’t come back, the Lu family wo n’t blame ... ”
When people around me heard it, they immediately understood that Huanglong County and Lujia, the best doctor in the county, had invited them, but they did not save them. uukanshu.com this land manager said that three or four hours have passed, meaning that the drowning child has no sound for three or four hours, twelve hours a day, three or four hours have passed for a long time, and people ca n’t die anymore. Dead, there is no way for the best doctors Lu can invite, who can have any way?
毕竟 After all, this resurrection is just a legend. After being drowned by a child for so long, how can it be saved? It is estimated that the Lu family is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor. There is no hope and there is no other way to let the steward hold the slightest chance to come out and try it out.
When people around me heard it, they shook their heads and spread out. The Lu Xie's gratitude was naturally coveted, but it was a waste of time to go back to life, and it would also cause trouble if he did n’t have the ability to fool around. .
The scattered people talked in whispers, speculating that they did not know which child was drowned in the Lu family, which would make the Lu family so nervous.
Looking at the people around, Lu Jia's steward's eyes showed despair, and he bowed his head helplessly ...
在 At this moment, Yan Liqiang groaned a little, walked directly in front of the director of the Lu family, and calmly said, "Lord director, I may try ..."
I heard Yan Liqiang's voice, Lu Guanshi suddenly raised his head, and when he saw that he was standing in front of himself only a teenager in the ordinary fourteen or five years old, the expression on his face was frozen ...
Uh ...
