cool summer [farming]

After all, he didn't mention the most valuable use of saltpeter. Tangling's environment is complicated, and it is beyond his expectation that saltpeter ore with such a high purity can be produced. You must know that even in modern times, such saltpeter is very rare. It is rare that in many modern sayings, some sodium nitrate is even called saltpeter, and industrial potassium nitrate can only be obtained through chemical reaction with sodium nitrate.

With such a unique advantage, he believes that in the near future, someone will discover the various uses of saltpeter, but after all, it will take a period of exploration. He revealed the ice-making technology, which has already pushed this ancient dynasty forward intentionally or unintentionally. Stride, as for the technology of gunpowder, no one in power can refuse such a big temptation, and he doesn't think it would be a good thing to let it come to this world prematurely.

Ning Ji had no choice but to nod unwillingly.

Fu Juyan was going to find an excuse to move the frozen ice basin back to his own house. Just at this time, the servants invited the doctor and was waiting in the main hall. He couldn't change the ice basin, so he temporarily hid it in the corner of the cubicle. .

The doctor looked at the wounds of the two of them seriously, and his words were the same as those of the military doctors. He told Ning Ji to rest and rest.

Fu Juyan and Ge Zhengxiu went back to their yard and entered the house. Fu Juyan took out a bottle of spiritual milk and carefully applied it on Ge Zhengxiu's wound. Although the wound was not serious, it was almost the worst that Fu Juyan had seen Ge Zhengxiu suffer these days. Seriously injured, I couldn't help feeling distressed, and said: "It's a good thing that the cave is not very deep, otherwise you two would fall, and you wouldn't lose half of your life, and don't imagine how easy it is to deal with now."

Feeling the coolness coming from his chest, Ge Zhengxiu said flatteringly, "It's a blessing in disguise. Look, didn't we have such a great joy today?"

Fu Juyan poked the wound hard, threw the blood-stained gauze into the basin, turned around and brought out another bottle of spiritual milk, "It's past lunch time today, there's nothing to eat in the kitchen, just bear with it."

As he said that, he went out and delivered the healing medicine that he had promised to Ning Ji.By the way, I brought a few cans of jam, as a repayment for the meal Ning Ji gave them yesterday.

On the second day, after Wei Qingning entered school, Fu Juyan made fruit salad as usual. The watermelons were carefully brought back from "Huaqu", so there were not many intact watermelons in a carriage. Only a few were sent from the mansion, and from King Fu. Four or five, including the one in the palace, everyone thought it was a rare fruit cultivated by himself, so they didn't ask much.

As for the cantaloupe jam, it was made by Fu Juyan "before".

After all, it is used to lead the battle, Fu Juyan still thinks it is better to use some rare fruits.

So in the past few days, the servants who have been ordered to send to the Imperial College are fruit salads that mainly focus on watermelon, and then served with cantaloupe jam.

He and Ge Zhengxiu set off after instructing the boy to send it over by the time.

You can ride horses on the streets of Jingdu, but Fu Juyan doesn't know how to ride a horse. After leaving the city gate, he left his sedan chair and rode with Ge Zhengxiu to the northern suburbs.

Two hours later, I brought back an exciting piece of good news. The saltpeter mine was real, and there were many mineral deposits in the Shihe Mountains.

In the Imperial College, ever since they knew that Wei Qingning's youngest father was the young master of Lord Hou's mansion, everyone's attitude towards him has changed 180 degrees, and they have an extraordinary love for the food that Wei Qingning brings every day. enthusiasm.

Often, when his servant followed him to the gate of the Imperial College, everything in his hand had already been looted.

The one who snatched the food box first seemed to be kicking Cuju to win the enemy's Cuju, and he was full of complacency.

Then everyone will tacitly agree that this person eats three more bites than everyone else, as an encouragement...

Of course, everyone didn't eat for nothing, they were paid every day, but Wei Qingning was not very willing to accept the fee.

This kind of forced buying and selling happens once or twice a day, and even students from intermediate and advanced classes come to "buy" his fruit salad from time to time, which makes the food boxes he is carrying heavier and heavier. Fortunately, he knew that such days would not last long, so he got used to it.

One day, after class, he was holding his book and food box, and was about to go out of the Imperial Prison to find his servant, when he heard the sound of "dong dong" in a hidden place, occasionally accompanied by one or two sounds of forbearance. groans.

Wei Qingning was stunned for a moment before realizing that the sound of "dong dong" was actually the sound of a fist hitting the breastbone!

It was the first time for him to encounter such a thing. He who knows the current affairs is a hero. He observes his own body and doesn't want to cause trouble to his upper body.

But listening to that sound, which was obviously very painful, he tried his best to endure the groan that was swallowed by the master, by some strange coincidence, he pushed aside the unknown branches and leaves in front of him, walked a few steps forward, and saw several tall The strong boy was raising his iron fists high to the man curled up on the ground.

The teenagers on the ground curled up, holding their heads tightly with both hands, so that these people could not hurt their faces, and those violent teenagers seemed to have no intention of greeting people, so they only punched places where no injuries could be seen. , The sound of "thump, boom, boom" made Wei Qingning's teeth ache.

The leading boy turned his head, found him, and gave him a warning look, "Boy, don't cause trouble! Get out!"

Wei Qingning took a step back.

The young man on the ground took the time to look up while being punched and kicked. Wei Qingning couldn't describe the expression of that look.

Longing, hope, loss, worry...

Do you feel like you can't save him because he's a child?

Anyway, he dared to throw sharp stones at Ge Ziwen back then.

He gritted his teeth and stood still, "You guys bully the few and bully the weak, what kind of men are you?"

The teenagers didn't expect that the little one would have the courage to stand up. They were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Men? Why are you guys not men anymore, but you two, one is a coward, and the other has no hair. When I went to the kiln, I didn’t know where to put my hands? Huh? Hahaha..."

"you!"

"Wei Qingning! What are you doing there?"

Ji Geyang from a distance ran over, panting, and complained: "You don't, it's been such a long time, and you still haven't figured out the way?"

Ji Geyang is his little fat man at the front desk, the two of them don't even know each other, but their relationship is better than others now.

Besides, this guy ate a lot of food from him. Although he was still not very polite, he actually took good care of him on weekdays.

Moreover, Wei Qingning only found out that this Ji Yang's identity can be regarded as the only one even in the luxurious and expensive city of Kyoto. It is the sharpest knife in the hands of the emperor. In addition, Ji's family is full of relatives and nobles. Together with his grandfather, the emperor's teacher and grandfather, he leads the Dongling literary stream. respected status.

The Guozijian gathered the children of famous and aristocratic families in Kyoto. The news spread so quickly that Fu Juyan did not expect it, because Wei Qingning's "unintentional" action, the fruit salad, attracted the attention of the noble ladies in Kyoto in just a few days. He once begged Wei Qingning for a few fruit salads for his sister.

It's not that these noble girls don't want to make friends with Fu Juyan, but that Fu Juyan never stays at home when he comes to the capital, except that he is loved by the emperor, he is a partner of King Fu's business, he is also a maker of scented tea, and a famous tea drinker , everyone knew nothing about him.

If you want to come to make friends, you must have a name. These people don't know about Fu Juyan's personality and preferences, and they don't want to lose face and rush to the door just to ask for a rare meal.

Therefore, he had no choice but to make friends with the adopted son of the young master of the Hou Mansion through his own brother and build some relationship.

Ji Geyang has a high status, so naturally he would not intentionally make friends with Wei Qingning just because of a small meal, but after all, he has a short mouth for eating people, this little fat man is a foodie, and the relationship between the two has become familiar without knowing it.

He offended his younger sister today and caused people to cry. As a last resort, he had to coax people with fresh food. As a result, the girl only remembered the sweet and sour fruits he brought back a few days ago.

Ji Yangyang had no choice but to keep staring at Wei Qingning after class, hoping to find an opportunity to talk to Wei Qingning and ask him to "sell" him again, but he did not expect to encounter such a scene.

He has been guided by scholars and celebrities since he was a child, and a gentleman takes good care of himself and does not want to meddle in other people's affairs, so he just secretly pulled Wei Qingning's sleeve, "Other people's affairs are unclear and difficult to distinguish, we don't care about them."

The beaten boy raised his head again, with hatred in his eyes, as if he was complaining that Ji Geyang compared himself with this group of dudes.

But Ji Geyang let out a surprise, and Wei Qingning hurriedly asked him: "Do you know him?"

Ji Yangyang whispered: "The young master of the palace, Wang Rong."

Wei Qingning frowned when he heard about the palace, and looked over there with some disgust, "Maybe it's really a group of mobs rebelling against each other."

Unexpectedly, Ji Yangyang hesitated, "That's not the case. Because the eldest young master is a concubine, he is not welcomed by the mistress's wife, so life is difficult. If it weren't for his aunt, who is also a daughter of the Qi family, to help him, This Eldest Young Master is afraid that he will not end well."

"His aunt?"

"Yes, his little aunt will marry Qing Xinghou, his own father in a few days."

Wei Qingning glanced at him in surprise, thinking, could it be the lady they met in Mingwei Town?

He was about to ask again, but the group of people over there couldn't wait for them to continue their conversation. Several of them didn't recognize Wei Qingning, and Ji Geyang's name had been heard before. They looked at each other, and the leader of the youth signaled the rest to pause. Taking a step forward, he flattered Ji Yang: "Master Ji, what are you?"

Wei Qingning touched Ji Geyang's arm, Ji Geyang paused for a while, and said: "The young master of the Wang family has an appointment with us, and he is about to go to the master to ask questions together. Mr. Ma, it's convenient for you."

Ji Geyang is only an 11-year-old boy, but he speaks very maturely and knows how to advance and retreat. The son surnamed Ma had to ask his servant to release Wang Rong. He had no intention of offending Ji's family. Since Ji Geyang gave them a step, he was willing to sell it to save face .

The few people didn't look at Wang Rong on the ground again, and left after a while.

Seeing Wang Rong struggling to get up, the two looked gloomy and gloomy. They turned a blind eye to the two who had helped him, and patted the dust on their bodies. After confirming that no traces could be seen, they breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed shoulders with the two of them. But after a while, he said in a low voice, "Thank you two young masters."

Ji Geyang murmured softly, "What a weirdo."

Wei Qingning stared blankly at his back, as if he remembered how he was when he was bullied by Ge Ziwen in Huaqu, and it was the same way, he had to pat his clothes carefully, otherwise, his family would worry when he went back.

He was not favored by his family, and the grievance he swallowed was probably because of his aunt.
