I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

There were several large wooden basins on the floor of the house, some gunpowder was spread out inside, and some raw materials were piled aside, which looked disorganized.

Yang Yanzhao looked here and there, like a curious baby, asking questions all the time.

"What is this, what is that?"

The room was filled with his questioning voices, which really annoyed Wu Fei, but fortunately Wu An showed up in time.

"Master, Young Master Yao and Master Liu are here."

"Oh, please! By the way, you take them to the reception room, I'll go there right away!"

He simply patted his clothes to remove the dust from his body.

"Brother Yang, do you want to go there together and meet Fatty Yao and Liu Mei?"

Yang Yanzhao waved his hand. To him, the gunpowder is the most attractive thing. It's not like he hasn't seen those two people before.

Seeing that he would not go, Wu Fei told him not to mess with the things in this room. If he was really bored, he could try grinding the charcoal into powder.

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room to meet Fatty Yao and Liu Mei.

In the reception room of Wu Mansion, the three of them were seated as guests and hosts, and the maid Yang Xiaoxiao served tea.

"Oh, brother Liu, fat man, sit down quickly, I just came back yesterday, and I was going to have a gathering, I didn't expect you to come here already!"

"Brother Wu, you're finally back. I haven't seen you for over a month. I miss you brother!" Liu Mei said with a smile.

"Brother Wu is mighty, this big victory really shows our country's prestige!" Fatty Yao said.

"Oh, it's overrated! This month has ruined me!"

"Brother Wu, our briquette business has been booming recently, when do you think we will settle the accounts?" Liu Mei asked.

Wu Fei thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, let's take two days. I just came back and I haven't figured things out yet."

"That's fine, let's talk about it in two days."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after chatting for a while, an hour passed. Wu Fei left the two of them for lunch and was pushed away.

After making an appointment to get back together again, Wu Fei sent the two away, and then hurried back to the hut where the gunpowder was placed.

At this time, Yang Yanzhao was grinding charcoal in boredom.

Wu Fei took a look and found that there were basically some of the three raw materials, so we could configure some gunpowder first.

So, according to yesterday's method, he prepared five catties of gunpowder with the three raw materials at a ratio of [-]% saltpeter, [-]% charcoal and [-]% sulfur.

Of course, egg whites were also used this time, and Yang Yanzhao was dumbfounded watching this scene.

He didn't expect that eggs would be used to configure gunpowder.

Looking at the gunpowder that was evenly stirred and spread in the big tub, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help asking again.

This time, Wu Fei explained to him that the purpose of adding egg white is to make the gunpowder stick together, and spread it into the big wooden basin so that the gunpowder can dry in the shade as soon as possible.

In addition, gunpowder cannot be mixed with water. If it rains, doors and windows should be closed to prevent the gunpowder from getting damp.

These words made Yang Yanzhao dizzy. He never thought that this gunpowder is so particular and needs to pay attention to so many things.

Seeing the large and small wooden basins lying on the ground, Wu Fei also felt dizzy and had nowhere to set his feet.

He secretly decided that when the formula was finished, several large wooden frames must be made to store gunpowder that needed to be dried in the shade!

After making these gunpowder, Wu Fei took Yang Yanzhao, went outside to eat something casually, and then returned to the room.

The guards brought in some raw materials, and Yang Yanzhao sent them out again, this time to buy eggs.

The eggs were successfully bought back, and Wu Fei handed over the work of grinding sulfur and charcoal to Yang Yanzhao's guards.

When the three raw materials were almost prepared, Wu Fei prepared gunpowder again. This time, the formula used [-]% sulfur, [-]% charcoal and [-]% saltpeter.

The finished gunpowder was put on the other side by Wu Fei and marked to distinguish the batch made in the morning.

Seeing that the wooden basins were almost full in the room, Wu Fei asked people to move all these raw materials out and moved them to the next room.

After asking the guards to grind some sulfur and charcoal, he looked at the sky, and Wu Fei announced that the day was over, and he didn't bother to continue to toss.

After everyone walked out, Wu Fei motioned to Wu Fu, closed the door, and arranged for people to guard the house carefully.

In order to see the finished product of gunpowder as soon as possible, Yang Yanzhao proposed to stay overnight in Wufu, and will not go back tonight.

In desperation, Wu Fei had no choice but to arrange a room for him.

Silent all night.

A new day has come, and before the sky is bright, Yang Yanzhao's shouts are heard from outside.

"Brother Wu, it's time to wake up!"

Wu Fei had no choice but to agree, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Before he could wash up, Yang Yanzhao dragged him to the room where the gunpowder was kept.

"Brother Wu, hurry up and see how the gunpowder is doing! I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep this night!"

"Let go!" Wu Fei roared.

"Um, I'll just let go, isn't this exciting?" Yang Yanzhao said dully.

After this little episode, the two came to the edge of gunpowder.

Yang Yanzhao took the first step and squatted in front of the basin where the gunpowder was placed.

Before Wu Fei could get close to the wooden basin, a puff of black smoke came out of the wooden basin, and the whole wooden basin suddenly burst into flames, and then ignited the gunpowder in the wooden basin next to it.

Then, one after another, the sound of stabbing sounded.

Wu Fei's mind suddenly went blank, and he couldn't help but fell into a daze and asked repeatedly: "Who am I? Where am I? What's wrong?"

But Yang Yanzhao was so frightened by the bursts of sound that he sat down on the ground.

Before the two of them woke up, the choking black smoke had filled the entire room.

The two suddenly coughed, it was too choking!
In a cloud of smoke, the two woke up and ran out of the room one after another.

Yang Yanzhao was frightened for a while. He thought of the Liao soldiers who were rushed by fireworks on the Song and Liao battlefields, and couldn't help shivering.

"Brother Wu, what, what's going on? Why is it suddenly smoking?"

Wu Fei was also dizzy. He knew that gunpowder was flammable and explosive, but he didn't expect it to be so flammable.

When he noticed Yang Yanzhao's clothes, he realized why the gunpowder ignited!

"You, you, you, I'm so pissed off, why did you go in wearing a mink coat? Did you know that fur can generate static electricity!"

Yang Yanzhao felt aggrieved by Wu Fei's sudden questioning.

"Stop, brother Wu, what is the static electricity you are talking about? Also, what does the burning of gunpowder have to do with the mink coat?"

Wu Fei was stunned by the question. This is Song Dynasty, not the era when nine-year compulsory education was popularized.

Except for myself, no one knows what static electricity is. Friction can generate static electricity, and static electricity can ignite gunpowder...

He laughed at himself, and said viciously: "From now on, when you enter this room, you are not allowed to wear silk and satin, and you are not allowed to wear fur coats! There is no reason!"

Looking at Wu Fei who was furious, Yang Yanzhao was too embarrassed to ask the question just now.

Seeing that the smoke was almost gone, Wu Fei walked into the room first.

Yang Yanzhao followed behind and wanted to come in, but Wu Fei called to stop him.

"Just wait outside, don't go in!"
