Chapter 10 Heaven's Pride
(Please recommend a hundred recommendation votes and one update I have many saved manuscripts!)
“Born?”
Seeing his father and second brother come back, Li Zhan and Li Xing walked out happily together.
Seeing his eldest son, Li Dafu immediately smiled and said, "I ran away from the Taoist temples of the three families and finally met an alchemy person. This guy couldn't bear to leave me. I threw down 500 Wen and the second son and carried a bag and ran away.
The old Taoist was so angry that he screamed in the back, but in the end he let us go."
"By the way, son, do you see if this is what you want?" As he said that, Li Dafu opened the bag, and Li Zhan picked up a piece of crystal and smiled, "That's right, it's this thing. Dad, you and Shengzi will have to work hard after you wait. Knock this piece of crystal into powder for me, and follow me and you will perform a miracle for you."
"Miracle?" Li Dafu, Li Sheng, and Li Xing all showed confusion.
What is the best thing in the hot summer? The answer is that besides air conditioning, it is ice cubes. A mouthful of coke and ice cubes is the only enjoyment of life. In ancient summer, although there was no refrigerator, there were ice cubes.
As early as the pre-Qin era, ancient people used natural ice to refrigerate, preserve food freshness, and make cold drinks.
At that time, there were special "civil servants" managing "bingzheng", and the person in charge was called "lingren".
Generally, from December every year, it starts to pick it up in places with good water quality, hide it in pre-prepared ice cellars, and wait for the next year to enjoy.
Because of this storage, about two-thirds of the stored ice will melt in the summer of the next year, so the amount of stored ice is often three times the amount of ice required.
I have to say that the ancients really tried to eat ice.
It is precisely because of such cumbersome process and high costs that eating ice in ancient times was the treatment that only princes and nobles could enjoy.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ice in ancient summer was a luxury item that was more expensive than gold, so the princes and princes at that time would also give ice to their subordinates as rewards.
There is a record in "Xia Xiaozheng" that "the ice is divided to teach the doctor." In other words, the official position must be above the doctor (equivalent to the current minister) before you have the opportunity to lick the ice... Therefore, it was a great honor to eat a piece of ice in ancient times.
It was an important benefit to distribute ice to officials during the Tang and Song dynasties!
So if you can drink a bowl of iced soup in the summer of the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely more style than the Lafite in 1982.
Li Zhan found saltpeter, it was very simple. It was just to make ice. What was the ice making? Hehe, this is Li Zhan’s business. He wanted to make popsicles. This is the memory of a post-80s. When he was a child, a popsicle seller had a wooden box on his bicycle. There was a quilt inside the box, and there were popsicles inside the quilt, one tiny one, two tiny ones were better, and five cents were the best.
Li Zhan also wants to learn this. If he can start this business, Li Zhan believes that it will be difficult for him to not make a fortune.
"Zhan'er, after the powder is ground, hurry up and perform a miracle for us."
Li Dafu, Li Sheng and Li Xing handed it to Li Zhan with a bag of ground saltpeter powder.
When Li Zhan saw it, he laughed and said, this is the thing. Li Zhan had seen it in a pharmacy before.
"Li Sheng, go and make a bucket of water with a wooden barrel. I will do a method first to make this stone powder have immortal power."
But after Li Zhan finished speaking, Li Dafu said with some ridicule: "Can your son not brag?"
"Don't you believe it?" Li Zhan snorted, "I will let you believe it." After that, he entered his room without looking back. However, Li Zhan was not asking for some immortal power, Li Zhan wanted to fool his father and younger brothers and sisters.
Li Sheng quickly drew a bucket of water because there was a well in Li's house, which was very convenient.
Seeing that the water was coming, Li Zhan snatched the window and looked at it, then Gulu Gulu pretended to read a few words, and then walked out of the room. At this time, Li Dafu asked provocatively: "The immortal is here, let's see what the immortal power you asked Shi Fan for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhan shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, all the gods from all directions come over. I, Li Zhan, ordered you to borrow my divine power, wow, ah, the water to make ice art!"
"Light water to make ice craft?" Li Dafu looked at his son's clumsy performance with some contempt and said, "What kind of thing is wrong, and what kind of spells are there?"
However, what made Li Dafu's contemptuous look more and more confused was that Li Dafu actually watched his eldest son sprinkle a lot of stone powder into the wooden barrel, and stir it with his hands in the wooden barrel.
The more you messed up, the more weird it became, and the more terrifying it became. Finally, I heard my second son and young daughter shouting excitedly: "Bingbing is really Bing, the eldest brother is a god, and the eldest brother can turn water into ice."
"Wow, Dad, now I know how powerful I am. Look at my water-to-spot ice-making technique." Li Zhan suddenly pulled his arm out of the bucket, and then the water in the bucket was frozen quickly, slowly turning into a bucket of ice, with cold air rising from the ice.
"I'm a kid!" Li Dafu's eyes were about to pop out at this time, looking at the ice cubes in the wooden barrel, and then looking at his eldest son in front of him. Li Dafu suddenly felt a trace of divine light emitting from his eldest son.
"Brother is a god, brother is a god!" Li Yu hugged Li Zhan and shouted excitedly.
Li Sheng also looked at his elder brother with admiration and said excitedly: "Brother is really a god."
"Dad, how about my water-to-spotting ice-making technique?" Li Zhan looked at his dad with a smile.
"You, are you really a god?" Finally, Li Dafu had to say this. There was no way. He saw it with his own eyes. There is no science in this era.
Some of them are only theology, otherwise Taoism and Buddhism would not be so prosperous. After all, even the current emperor, Li Shimin, yearns for gods, let alone the people.
When Li Dafu, a commoner, saw such a magical scene, to be honest, although he wanted to disbelieve it, he could not disbelieve it.
"Haha!" Li Zhan didn't want to tease his father anymore. He was worried that he would scare his father silly, so Li Zhan said with a hint: "Dad, I'm not a god. In fact, this is a very ordinary physical phenomenon. You, Shengzi, and Min'er can do it.
Just use the powder you grind and sprinkle it into water, and you can directly turn the water into ice."
"How is this possible?" Li Dafu looked at Li Zhan with a look of surprise.
Li Zhan handed the remaining saltpeter powder in his hand to Li Dafu and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Ten minutes later.
Li Dafu made a horrified voice: "It's done, it's done, the water in my bucket is frozen. Oh my God, it's really amazing. Son, how did you know about this kind of thing?"
Li Zhan turned around and looked at the shocked Li Dafu indifferently, saying, "I said a long time ago that I have learned a lot in the fairy world. Although I don't have magic power, I have something that you will never see in your life, that is immortality."
