scientific farming

In the yard, the scorched black was still there, and the sound of the explosion was loud, and there were already crowds of people outside. Fortunately, Ah Er quickly went out and dealt with it forcefully, and the front of the door was much cleaner.

As for those who could not be driven away by Ah Er, they were invited to the banquet hall, served tea and asked to wait.As for when Xiao Lue will come to see him, that's unknown.Those who want to break in, Ah Wu and the others are always waiting to make an example to others!

Ah Da went over and touched the remaining scorched black on the ground, with a solemn face, turned around and took the bamboo tube according to Song Wen's prescription just now, put the crystals precipitated by the wall frost in it, and then put the realgar...

Xiao Lue looked at Song Wen, with amazement, admiration, and certainty in his eyes, but he had no ambition. Seeing that Song Wen was only silently staring at Ah Da's movements, he said with relief: "What happened here, no one will Spread the word. Gunpowder, I imagine a good explanation that won’t let you be targeted. But just in case, Ah Da and Ah Er will follow you in the future to protect you temporarily. If you don’t like it... ..."

Song Wen looked back at him and raised his eyebrows.

Xiao paused for a moment, there was such a big commotion here, they would definitely be targeted, not to mention that if the gunpowder was really used to fight, everyone would soon think of the commotion here today and couldn't avoid it.So even if Song Wen didn't like it, Ah Da and Ah Er had to follow him.

"If you don't like it, they have to follow you." Xiao Lue said solemnly, but rarely explained in a very clever way, "It's because I'm afraid that someone will attack you and protect you!"

Song Wen nodded, moved closer, and said provocatively, "I'm afraid Ah Da and Ah Er are too thorough in their protection, even blocking General Xiao who is calling my attention."

"They can't stop me!" Xiao Lue said seriously, looking at it with some complacency.

Song Wen couldn't hold back, and chuckled lightly.It's really that Xiao Lue's little proud appearance is too different from his usual appearance as a great general to frighten the world, it's very funny.

However, Ah Da was a spoiler, holding up the bamboo tube, he interjected directly and asked: "Master Song, is there any way to say how much to put these three? If you put more, wouldn't it be more powerful?"

His eyes were shining, and he was obviously excited.

Song Wen: "..." Seeing that Xiao Lue obviously attracted his attention to his question, he looked at himself longingly along with him, and sighed helplessly, "No, I will give you the corresponding prescription of how many to put in later."

Xiao slightly nodded, and asked at the right time: "Is it necessary to use a bamboo tube for the outside? If the soldiers are fighting, they should throw out a bamboo tube first, because the things inside will easily fall out when throwing it, and then shoot arrows. The first time it will be fine, but the latter will definitely be extremely difficult." alert."

He squatted next to Ah Da, picked up the long arrow whose arrow was blackened after burning, raised it up and said to Song Wen, "The long arrow can only attack from a distance, which is very inconvenient."

Song asked: "..."

You really don’t need to ask me anything, I just used saltpeter in modern work, and after a little understanding, I know that ancient gunpowder was made of saltpetre, and I just dabbled a little.Others, I really don't know.

Song Wen could only put on an indifferent face.

"Why use a bamboo tube?" Song asked, "Is it possible that General Xiao has never played with a bamboo tube? A good section of the bamboo tube is directly set on the fire to be calcined. After burning, it will explode directly."

Xiao slightly shook his head, and said with an air of experience: "That's how it is!"

Song asked: "..." After thinking about it, did Xiao Lue really play with bamboo tubes, knowing that bamboo tubes would explode when calcined, he immediately felt a little sympathetic, and immediately ordered Xiao Lue to put down the long arrow, cut off a section of bamboo tube, Ask Ah Da to get the brazier.

There was dry firewood on the brazier stand, and it was burning hotly. Song Wen put a bamboo tube on top to burn it. The three people around the brazier were sweating profusely at once, but they were all as hot as children, but they didn’t Those who are willing to leave just wait for the bamboo tube to explode.

It burned for a long time, Song Wen couldn't take it anymore, he fanned his face with his sleeves, Xiao Lue followed beside him and took his long gown to help fan the wind.Song Wen looked at him: "You're not hot."

As soon as Xiao slightly shook his head, Khan hit the ground directly.However, he returned his subordinates to be diligent and continued to fan Song Wen.

boom!The bamboo tube exploded behind him!

Just as Song Wen raised his foot and was about to move over, the bamboo tube behind his back exploded, so frightened that he almost fell backward into the brazier, but fortunately Xiao Lue had quick eyesight and quick hands, and pulled him over.Song Wen was a scheming person, and immediately jumped into the person's arms, but now he didn't dislike being covered in sweat, and whispered, "I'm scared to death."

Xiao Lue patted his head seriously, as if to comfort a child: "Don't be afraid!"

So Song Wen also felt satisfied, hugged the man's waist, leaned against the man's arms, squinted his eyes lazily, the shock just now had passed, and refused to move.

Xiao slightly let him go, but did not delay and said to Ah Da: "To cut bamboo, you need to go to the mountain, but I remember that there is a Chen family in the impoverished city who directly circled a bamboo forest behind the yard, you ask Zhu Hongyi to go to their house to ask Can you let us chop some bamboo back."

"Yes." Ah Da went right away.

"Can this old bamboo tube be used?" Xiao asked slightly. "If it can be used, there should be a lot of old bamboo tubes here. If you find them all, you can make some gunpowder for the time being."

Since they were discussing business matters, Song Wen put away his tired thoughts, directly took an old bamboo tube, put saltpeter, realgar and oil in it, shook it to Xiao Lue and said, "Try it again and see if it works. "

Of course I have to try, but it is somewhat inconvenient to use a lit arrow to ignite the fire while carrying the bamboo tube on the body.Xiao Lue murmured: "Could it be possible to directly put the flint in a bamboo tube, seal the bamboo tube, and when thrown out, the flint will collide inside, sparks will naturally be produced, and the oil will be ignited?"

Isn't this the kind of firecrackers that modern children would play with, the kind of firecrackers that would explode if they were thrown hard on the ground? !As expected of a general, he can always come up with feasible solutions when it comes to war.

Song Wen directly nodded in praise: "As expected of a general!"

Xiao Lue called him such a blunt praise, his face turned red, and he postponed: "The gunpowder is all made by Master Song, and the mere way to start the fire is just a trick."

Even though Song Wen had a thick skin, he didn't dare to pretend that he made the gunpowder. He said that he had seen it in a book before and just remembered it by chance, but borrowed the wisdom of others.

Xiao Lue's eyes moved slightly, thinking that Song Wen had recovered his memory calmly in front of him.But Song Wen in the capital was very different from those civil servants who liked to compose and write poems. They only thought about farming, and they didn't want to let others know, so they didn't mention it intimately, as if they had tacit understanding with Song Wen.

As for Song Wen, he naturally presumed that he had seen it in the book, and he said it fluently, forgetting that he had a setting of amnesia, and for a while, the two were very compatible.

Since it was decided to use flint to ignite the fire, it must be more suitable to use old bamboo tubes. After all, dried bamboo tubes are easy to ignite, fully burned, and better fried.

But Ada had already gone to find Zhu Hongyi's Chen Mansion where bamboo was planted in the poor city. Song Wen looked at the burst bamboo pieces that continued to burn in the brazier, and suddenly had an idea, his eyes flashed, and asked Xiao Lue: "The enemy What do soldiers usually eat when they are guarding the city? They can’t cook hot food, right? If they cook or eat on the spot, wouldn’t we just kill them?”

Xiao Lue said: "They all carry dry food with them."

Dry food?Dry food is good, what they want is that they eat dry food!

Song Wen was in high spirits, he pulled Xiao Lue to go directly to the Chen Mansion where the bamboo was planted at home, Zhu Hongyi and A Da were there, plus Xiao Lue was a general, everyone in the Chen Mansion was very generous, they wished that the entire bamboo forest would be destroyed immediately. Give it out, but fortunately Song Wen stopped it.

Xiao Lue mobilized a group of small soldiers to go directly to the bamboo forest of the Chen Mansion to cut bamboo, and asked the soldiers in charge of cooking to carry all the pots under the city gate according to Song Wen's order, and lined up facing the crack of the city gate. Then cut all the bamboo into bamboo tubes, move them all to the tower, and set up a big iron pot.

There was a lot of movement here. The soldiers besieging the city were all staring at this side, equipped with shields and long arrows, ready to respond at any time. Of course, they sent people back to the camp to report the movement here as soon as possible.

Xiao Lue had to be on guard against them being stared at like a tiger. He dispatched several teams of archers and several carts of boulders to be ready at all times. If they made any changes and wanted to attack the city, they would immediately serve with arrow arrays and boulders.

As for Song Wen...

He was surrounded by enemy troops in front of him, and guarded by the besieged city defenders in the back. He taught the soldiers in charge of cooking in the army to start cooking. There are two things to do - rice in bamboo tubes and rice with vegetables.

In the bamboo tube rice, put the bacon bought from the people in the city with grain, sell it in the rice, sprinkle some shallots on top, pour some oil into the rice, sprinkle salt, put some wine, and just put it on the spot Start roasting in a good brazier.

Vegetable pickled rice is made directly in a large iron pot, using the method of making porridge, then add vegetables, put some bacon, pour some oil, sprinkle salt, directly grow a large iron pot, and burn it directly with firewood.

When the boiled rice water boils, the white rice rolls, the emerald green vegetable leaves roll up and down in circles inside, and the bacon is fragrant, and the aroma of vegetable porridge immediately spreads out, and the more it rolls, the more fragrant it becomes. .The cauldron happened to be placed under the city gate and above the city gate.

Behind the door, the fragrance wafted out directly along the crack of the door.The city wall is floating along with the wind, and can float as far as you want.

After a while, the fragrance of the rice in bamboo tubes also joined the ranks, and the whole city gate, inside and outside, was filled with the aroma of rice in bamboo tubes and pickled vegetables.

Song Wen also chose these two foods on purpose. The aroma of pickled rice rises early and rolls for a long time, so it will naturally drift far away. As for rice in bamboo tubes, it has the fragrance of bamboo and the meaty aroma of bacon. The little soldier who gnawed until a bird faded out of his mouth and choked up his throat could resist it.

Song Wen also asked people to fan the wind, fanning all the smells of food to the enemy, telling them to taste what they can smell but not eat.Although standing on the city wall, he couldn't see the specific expressions of the soldiers, but he just felt that they were swallowing.

By the time the enemy general arrived late, the rice in bamboo tubes and rice with vegetables had almost been cooked.

As soon as he showed his head, Song Wen stepped on the city wall and shouted: "Come and smell the smell, there is not enough food and grass in the city? That's impossible. Let's eat in different ways!"

Xiao Lue cooperated very well, directly wrapped the half-burnt black bamboo tube with his clothes, and ate it in front of the enemy general, regardless of whether people could see clearly, the chopsticks were soaked in bacon as if covered with a layer of gold. Rice with yellow sauce, and a piece of bacon, mix it and stuff it into your mouth.

The enemy general: "..." Xiao Lue, my mother didn't come here to see you for dinner
