Silver Overlord Chapter 23: Coincidence
Yan Liqiang was walking and walking in Huanglong County alone, but it took more than an hour to ask two people, and he came to Chaoyang Lane in the county and found the ice shop in the alley.
The name of this ice shop is called Chaoyang Ice Shop. In the middle of the alley, Yan Liqiang went to the alley and saw the sign hanging outside the ice shop. When he saw the sign, Yan Liqiang walked over.
In his lifetime, Yan Liqiang thought for a while that eating popsicles in the summer was a modern patent after the refrigerator was invented, and until one time he saw an auction of cultural relics on TV, one of the cultural relics was ice that the ancients kept After hearing the introduction of the host, he learned that the ancient Chinese people had been able to drink cold drinks and popsicles in the summer since the Tang Dynasty. He suddenly realized that he had no culture.
Ancient people made ice, not refrigerators, but saltpeter. When saltpeter is dissolved in water, it quickly absorbs the heat in the water and turns the water into ice. The ancients used this characteristic of saltpeter to make ice Blocks-Fill two large and small pots with water, place the small pot in the large pot, and then pour nitrite into the large pot. When the large pot freezes, the small pot will also freeze. Too.
The same is true in this world, only those who can enjoy ice cubes in the summer are rich people, so ice shops are only available in economically prosperous counties or large cities. Of course, some local tyrants, I have an ice room in my house to make ice. For example, the Hong family in Liuhe Town. Yan Liqiang remembered that when he was a child, Hong Tao, who was two years older than himself, took one every afternoon on the hottest days of the year. The scene in which the popsicles with the sugar candy came to the school in town, the kind of prestige, is just like the local tyrant driving the Rolls-Royce to the countryside, and he still remembers him so far.
It ’s summer now, it ’s almost two o’clock in the afternoon, the old trees in the alley are ciculating, the sun is poisonous on the head, and the ground is also hot. Several children are salivating outside the ice shop. Looking out into the ice shop with his head stretched out, and a guy in the ice shop wearing a blue folk costume is standing at the door of the ice shop, like the scarecrow driving the sparrow in the rice field, blasting the children, "Go Go, do n’t block the door here, want to eat ice, and ask you guys money to go ... "
When the buddies blasted the children away, Yan Liqiang went into the ice shop.
is different from the outside. As soon as he entered the ice shop, Yan Liqiang felt that the temperature in the ice shop was several degrees lower than the outside. A burst of coolness struck him and was extremely comfortable.
There is a counter in the shop. Behind the counter are a few pieces of wood in appearance and a tin-freezer inside.
A man stood behind the counter and after looking at Yan Liqiang, he felt that Yan Liqiang ’s age should not be like a little fart kid who came here to cheat and swindle, only a smile appeared on his face. Ice, we welcome all kinds of ice, pure ice, ice with crystal sugar, and bayberry juice, all at reasonable prices. I do n’t know which one this customer wants? "
Hearing the ice with bayberry juice, Yan Liqiang felt that the saliva in his mouth suddenly came out, but unfortunately, he knew that the ice sold in these ice shops was the smallest one in the washbasin. The washbasin is large and serves the needs of a household. Like the popsicles 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 If the cost is high, the average child can't afford it.
Yan Liqiang tried to make a pure smile on his face, and then opened his mouth to the man, "Cough, do you have saltpeter here?"
"What are you talking about?" The guy in the shop looked surprised.
"I mean saltpetre, saltpetre for ice making, I want to buy a little!"
"We only sell ice here, not saltpeter!" The smile on the man's face converged a little bit. If I didn't look at the smile on Yan Liqiang's face, I would have blown Yan Liqiang out.
"I know, I will buy a little, I don't know if it will be convenient!"
The guy shook his head firmly, "We do n’t sell saltpetre here, you can go to other places to see, let ’s talk about the absence of the shopkeeper, I ca n’t do it ..."
"Then do you know where to sell saltpetre?"
"I don't know!"
is saying that when a guest comes in, the man will no longer ignore Yan Liqiang and will go to greet the new guests.
Looking at the face of the man, Yan Liqiang knew that the sale was probably impossible. He touched his nose and walked out of the store.
......
For a few hours behind, Yan Liqiang wandered around the county seat of Huanglong County. He never expected that it would be so difficult to buy a little saltpeter.
He had visited all three ice shops, but none of them was willing to sell him the saltpeter, which made Yan Liqiang almost crazy. Something like saltpeter has a very narrow purpose. He didn't know where there was anything like saltpeter.
Fortunately, Yan Liqiang ’s communication ability is very strong. Since he ca n’t buy it in the saltpeter shop, he finally learned from a clerk ’s mouth that one of them is in Shiqiao Town, a large business town outside Huanglong County. There is supply of saltpetre in the firms that buy leather goods.
Yan Liqiang patted his head, remembering that in addition to being able to make ice, saltpeter will also be used to tan leather. The firm in Shiqiao Town not only collects leather but also supplies some raw materials for tanned leather, such as Things like lime and saltpeter.
......
When Yan Liqiang walked out of the business in Shiqiao Town, it was almost evening, and the sun was almost setting.
The saltpeter in the business is supplying customers in large quantities. Those customers always buy dozens of kilograms and hundreds of kilograms. When he went in and said he wanted to buy a pound of saltpeter, he was almost given by the guys in the business. When he rushed out, they thought he was going to play tricks. Finally, Yan Liqiang took out the silver, and the guys in the firm only sold him a little doubt, but the price, compared to saltpeter, was "high price". Qian Yinzi finally bought only a pound.
Yan Liqiang, who walked out of the business, touched the two saltpeters in his arms and exhaled for a long time. This time he only bought a little and went back to try to see if he could dispense gunpowder. Way to get saltpeter.
looked up at the sky, it was not too early. If it was too late to return to the artisan camp, Qian Su would worry about it.
Thinking 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 a lot of merchants traveling from north to south. The square in the center of the town is surrounded by shops and restaurants. Many people directly display stalls beside the square and sell some herbs. If you rent a horse-drawn carriage, things like dirt and miscellaneous are also in the square.
Yan Liqiang just walked to the side of the square and was about to call a carriage. When he saw the four riding rhinoceros horses rushed to the square mountain from a distance like the wind, the four riders on the rhinoceros horse jumped off the horseback, one of them He picked up a gong from the saddle and knocked it quickly.
In the last time I surfed the forums online, if I want to be crowded and spread, then put the post on the top or let it be reposted like the big V. In this world, there is no Internet or forums. There are newspapers in big cities, but Yan Liqiang has not seen it. In addition to the various notices posted by the government, ordinary people want to speak in public to attract others ’attention. Method.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the four riders riding the rhinoceros horse to the square gathered a large number of people around the square.
Because it's something that sounds around her, Yan Liqiang holds the lively thoughts and is crowded into the crowd, trying to see what these two people are going to do.
The four riders, one grade is older, the other three are younger, the older one, depending on what they wear, seems to be the steward of a big family, while the younger three riders seem to It ’s the nursing home.
At this time, no matter the older manager or the three younger nursing homes, they were all sweaty and worried, and the younger three nursing homes were better and older The whole person was panting and pale.
"Isn't that the person in charge of the Lu family, what is this for?"
A small businessman beside Yan Liqiang looked at the manager, and the curious said to the person next to him that he was just heard by Yan Liqiang.
Lujia, Yan Liqiang did n’t come to Huanglong County before, it seemed that he had heard about it. There is a large family in Huanglong County that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but it is just that Yan Liqiang does n’t know what people around him say Not the Lu family I heard about, after all, there are more than one big family surnamed Lu in Huanglong County.
Seeing that hundreds of people were coming around in an instant, the group was already surrounded. The steward took a few breaths and calmed down. After raising his hand, the housekeeper who hit the gong suddenly stopped.
Luan Guan held his fist in front of him and looked around, then said aloud, "Dear folks and friends, I am the manager of Lujiazhuang of Lianhua Mountain, named Lu Wenbin, some friends may know me, I came here today , I want to ask for an urgent matter. I do n’t know that there are secret recipes for treating drowning among fellow folks and friends. A child in Lianhua Villa is drowning today, so I would like to ask for help! "
Lu Guanshi looked at the onlookers with hopeful eyes, but the onlookers were silent for a while. Everyone was a little inexplicable, and Yan Liqiang was also puzzled. Someone in the Lu family drowned and came here to find someone to help. This is too strange. Right.
"Lu Guanshi, Lujiazhuang has a child drowning, so you should go and find a doctor. The Lu family is so rich, what kind of doctor can't find it, how did you come here?" Among the crowd watching, someone immediately shouted Asked the doubts in the hearts of everyone.
The land management affair remained silent for a few seconds, then spoke aloud, "The doctor has already found it. The best doctors in Hepingxi City in Huanglong County are already in Lujiazhuang. It ’s just that three or four hours have passed since the child drowned. I was helpless, there was no way, so I came to help you friends in the village to see if you have a secret recipe. You can try it. If you can save people, the Lu family will thank you. Even if you ca n’t save them, the Lu family will not blame. ... "
When I heard it, I immediately understood that the best doctors in Huanglong County and the county were invited, but they did n’t save them ~ IndoMTL.com ~ The land management said that three or four hours had passed , Which means that the drowning child has lost his silence for three or four hours, twelve hours a day, three or four hours have passed a little half a day, and people ca n’t die anymore, none of the best doctors the Lu family can hire Way, who may have any way?
This technique of resurrection is only a legend after all, how can a child drowned by water after so long, how could it be saved? It is estimated that the Lu family is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. There is no hope, and no other way can be found, so that the manager can come out and try it out with the slightest possibility.
listened to the people around and shook his head directly. The Lu family's gratitude naturally attracted people's covetment, but he didn't have the ability to get back to life. It is also a waste of time to go. Get into trouble.
The whispers of the scattered people are speculating, and they are speculating that they do not know which child was drowned by the Lu family, which will make the Lu family so nervous.
Watching the people around disperse, the despair of Lu Jiaguan ’s eyes reveals his despair, and he bows his head helplessly ...
At this moment, Yan Liqiang groaned slightly, and walked directly to the Lu Family Manager, and said quietly, "Luan Manager, I might be able to try ..."
Hearing Yan Liqiang’s voice, Lu Guanshi raised his head at once, and when he saw that he was standing in front of himself with a 14- to 15-year-old boy, the surprised expression on his face solidified...
