I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Noon the next day.

Li Shimin came back again when he had time, and did not leave in a hurry after lunch. While playing cards with Yin Lulu and Li Lizhi, he paid attention to the door.

Just after the seventh round, five tortoises and two bastards appeared on his face. The bastards were drawn by Li Lizhi, who learned from Yin Xuan. Drawing bastards is much easier than drawing turtles.

At this time, the figure he had been waiting for finally appeared at the door.

Zhou Xiaosan rushed over, looking tired.

Last night, he stayed in Jiaoshifang all night, exhausted both mentally and physically.

"Little brother, have you found out what happened?" Yin Xuan looked at him, then glanced at him calmly, pricked up his ears, and tried to move his body closer to Li Shimin.

Zhou Xiaosan nodded, sat down at a table, waved his hands, took a few breaths, and then said: "Well, I have contacted someone, and I know what method Yuan is using."

Yin Xuan folded his arms, interested: "Tell me carefully."

Zhou Xiaosan sorted out his words, and slowly said in a somewhat horrified tone: "I asked him several times, but I still can't believe what he said is true."

"According to what he said, Mrs. Yuan performed supernatural powers in front of them."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Supernatural powers?
Zhou Xiaosan licked his lips and continued: "According to him, Yuan Shi used two supernatural powers in total. The first one is to cast a kind of raging fire."

"We all know that with ordinary flames, no matter how powerful the fire is, it can at most burn the meat, but the flame she cast can burn through the pork in an instant, exposing the bones under the fat."

Li Shimin was startled when he heard this, and threw Wang Zha out.

Li Lizhi, who is also a farmer, stared at her father viciously. There was only one card left in her hand!Yin Lulu didn't even want it, but fell into the hands of teammate Zhu.

Yin Xuan nodded, not much surprise on his face.

Zhou Xiaosan looked at him, and continued: "The second kind of supernatural power that Yuan Shi used was to throw a stone-like thing into the water, and after pinching a formula, the stone turned out to be Burned in the water!"

Burn in water?

Many elements have this property.

"Did it explode?" Yin Xuan asked.

Zhou Xiaosan shook his head hesitantly: "That person never told me about it."

Yin Xuan asked again: "Did that person say what the color of the flame is?"

Zhou Xiaosan nodded his head: "Yes, yes, he said it was a purple flame."

Purple flame?
Yin Xuan immediately got the answer in his heart.

Li Shimin's face became more and more serious when he heard it, if what Zhou Xiaosan said was what the Yuan lady did, it would be really scary.
It really has some supernatural powers.

He turned his head and looked at Yin Xuan, somewhat beyond his expectation, Yin Xuan's face did not show a look of panic or anxiety, but a hint of banter.

Zhou Xiaosan asked nervously, "Shopkeeper, have you figured out anything?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "I basically know what method she used."

Both Zhou Xiaosan and Li Shimin were stunned, looking at the confident Yin Xuan, it was really like what he said before, if you tell Yuan Shi what method she used, you will know what she did?
Zhou Xiaosan looked at Yin Xuan eagerly.

Yin Xuan knocked on the table: "Little third brother, go search Yuan's house, you should be able to find a clay urn for boiling gold juice, and some residues of grain and green vegetables that were burnt to ashes."

"When you find these things, tell the woman that you already know her tricks, so you should recruit them yourself, and she will probably confess her crimes."

The whole room was stunned when they heard it.

Yin Lulu raised her hand and asked curiously, "Brother, what is golden juice?"

Li Lizhi hurriedly tore off Yin Lulu's hand, put it next to her ear and explained in a low voice, Yin Lulu's face changed instantly.The name of this golden juice sounds pretty good, but in fact it is just an elegant name for pickles.

"Just find these two things?" Zhou Xiaosan asked suspiciously, no matter how he heard it, he felt that this matter was so out of the ordinary.

Yin Xuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Trust me, these two things will do."

Zhou Xiaosan asked further: "Can the shop owner explain to someone? She is really curious, why she can make her plead guilty in this way, and whether Yuan Shi used supernatural powers, or what."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xiaosan's question saves him from having to wait for Zhou Xiaosan to leave, and then make up a reason to ask Yin Xuan about this question.

"There's no such thing as supernatural powers." Yin Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "It's just two simple natural reactions, one of which is very common."

very simple?
One is still common?
Both Li Shimin and Zhou Xiaosan couldn't help but tilt their heads back. Since it's very common, why haven't they seen it.

Yin Xuan continued: "Let's talk about the first type first. If there is no problem with the description, it should be phosphorus."

磷？
What is this?
"You may not know what phosphorus is, but you should all know the will-o'-the-wisps, right?" Yin Xuan seemed to see the doubts in their hearts, and added another sentence.

Both of them nodded.

They had heard about the will-o'-the-wisp, and even both of them had seen it with their own eyes, and more than once.

Especially for Zhou Xiaosan.

As soon as he went out, most of his journeys in the wilderness were sleeping on the top of the grave—sleeping on the grave and not on the temple, this is the experience that this group of people can live on forever.

"It is said that will-o'-the-wisps are caused by ghosts, but it is not true. The human body contains the element "phosphorus". After the corpse rots, the phosphorus in the bones is precipitated. This substance has a very low ignition point, so it often occurs in summer. Meet the will-o'-the-wisps, but don't see them in winter."

"Although this kind of thing ignites, the temperature required for combustion is very low, but after it burns, the temperature released"

"You can simply understand that the power of flame is about three times that of charcoal."

"So it's easy to burn through the meat fat."

After speaking, Yin Xuan paused.

Yin Lulu was very obedient and brought him a glass of water.

Yin Xuan took a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "There are many ways to extract phosphorus, but the easiest way is to cook golden juice."

"The amount of phosphorus refined by this method is not much, so it's no problem for her to play tricks."

Both Zhou Xiaosan and Li Shimin were amazed.

So the will-o'-the-wisp is such a thing?After knowing that the will-o'-the-wisps are actually the cause of the corpse and have nothing to do with the ghost, although they are still a little intrusive, they don't make them feel afraid like before.

磷？
Li Shimin silently made a note in his heart, and planned to test it out after going back.
