Daqin: I was heard by Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 222
It doesn't matter if Su Chen didn't get the answer she wanted.

Anyway, he still has Fusu as the main force, and when Fusu comes back, give him a wave of bombardment to try again.

Speaking of frying, Su Chen suddenly remembered that he wanted to make a thermal weapon.

Meng Yi didn't know how long he would go.

At this time, the Middle East already had a good civilization, but I don't know how its military strength compares with Great Qin.

If possible, should he get some hot weapons for Meng Yi?

Let's wait until after the snowstorm.

After the snowstorm, the economy recovered, and Yingzheng could only build it if he had money.

The first batch of quicklime from Fusu was quickly shipped to Xianyang, and Su Chen scattered the quicklime in the shops in the food street.

In the early winter, Xianyang City was dry and cold. Unless you were wearing a leather jacket, everyone had to walk with their necks curled up and their sleeves folded.

Su Chen suddenly understood why there was a name "chaoshou verandah".

Because of the wind leaking everywhere, you have to wrap your hands when you walk by.

The colder it is, the more crowded the food street becomes.

In summer, it can only be regarded as "a lot of people", but in winter, it is really "shoulder to shoulder".

This is the same whether it is ancient people or later generations.

Humans seem to be the exact opposite of other animals, and they don't hibernate and go out less during winter.

Countless people walk on the food street, wanting to enter the store as soon as possible.

Although the store will not be particularly warm, at least there will be no air leakage.

But this day is different from every day before.

The most obvious one is Su Chen's shop, with a thick cloth curtain hanging at the door.

Two attendants stood outside the door and lifted the curtain.

Someone touched it carefully with their hands and found that the curtain must be sewn with at least eight layers of Gebu.

Mr. Su is so rich, no matter who you give this eight layers of Gebu, you won't need to buy cloth for ten years.

But more people couldn't pay attention to the cloth curtain.

As soon as they entered the store, they could clearly feel the heat.

Is this burning carbon?No charcoal stove.

Or have a fireplace like His Majesty?Haven't you heard that the secret art of the palace dare to spread?

However, why is there a stream of white powder in this corner?

Soon a waiter explained to the visitor:
"This white powder is quicklime. It keeps warm. Whoever uses it keeps his home warm."

The voice of the waiter was a little hoarse, he had already explained to more than 30 guests.

If he was still a spirited guy in the morning, now he is already a patient with severe social phobia.

He didn't want to talk anymore, even though Mrs. Su raised a lot of money for each of them, he didn't want to talk anymore.

These customers are his parents, and he wants to kneel down to the "parents" and beg them to inquire with the customers in the store.

It's a pity that he thought well, but the reality was too wrong.

Soon two or three big men came in, and when they came in, they let out a surprised "Huh".

He was about to be called over with one voice:

"Come on, come here! Why are you so warm here?"

"Go back to the masters, this is all against the quicklime by the wall, and it can keep warm when sprinkled."

Several strong men did not follow the instructions of the attendants to look over.

You let me watch it?This is so humiliating.

A man asked, "What is quicklime?"

The attendant endured the anger of being ignored, and continued to speak calmly and hoarsely:

"Just the ones in the corner, all of them."

A few men glanced casually, just the white one?Same as flour?

"Didn't you just sprinkle flour on the ground? What kind of quicklime?"

Attendant: If you really think it's flour, what's the point?

"My lord, this is quicklime. When it meets water, it will heat up."

The men obviously didn't believe it, "Cold water, no, ice water, can it be hot?"

"I remember someone told me in summer that what kind of powder freezes when it sees cold water."

"How come these white powders can't get through water, hahaha!"

The others laughed too. Apparently, they had heard of the fact that a certain powder could freeze water.

The attendant sneered in his heart, of course you don't understand anything.

What freezes is saltpeter, how about hot quicklime?
The attendant didn't intend to tell them more, he turned around and took a bowl and an egg.

There was cold water in the bowl, and the attendant brought it to the man:
"Grandpa, try it first, is the water cold?"

The man didn't want to talk about it, and the people around him advised him to try it out, so the man had no choice but to say:

"Grandpa, I'll try it for you today. If you have a fever, I'll buy the whole bunch. If it's not hot, what will you do?"

The attendant lowered his head and said: "My lord, I have been late in running the hall for a long time. If it is too hot, I would like to ask you to give me a little more money so that I can pay the fine."

Although the people around don't know what "fine" means, they can understand it.

The man snorted coldly and took out a piece of gold.

"See, I'll give it all to you!"

The attendant smiled instantly, "Okay sir! Just watch!"

The attendant squatted next to the quicklime and pushed away the quicklime on the surface, using only the innermost quicklime.

He grabbed a handful of quicklime and held it in front of everyone.

"Slave put the quicklime in the water now, please look."

After the attendant finished speaking, he put the quicklime in, and after a while, many bubbles appeared in the water.

Everyone was amazed, they were really hot!The water is almost boiling.

The man couldn't believe it even more, isn't this quicklime just powder?

Putting flour in water doesn't have such a big reaction, does it?
The man deliberately said: "This is not necessarily a fever."

The servant knew someone would say that.

In fact, if he put the eggs in a bowl, he could make it clear, but he didn't want to let that man know easily.

"My lord, you can touch this bowl, it's already hot."

The man pursed his lips, "Who doesn't know that you have been holding this bowl for a long time, and it is already hot."

Others looked sideways when they heard this, this person was right anyway.

If the bowl is reheated, can it be the same as pouring hot water into the bowl?
The attendant said in embarrassment: "But my lord, I can't ask you to put your hand in, right? If it burns you, that would be bad."

The man originally wanted to embarrass the attendant, but he didn't expect that the attendant's words made him embarrassed.

The others all smiled and looked at the man:

"Yeah, you don't believe it anyway, why don't you put your hand in and try?"

"We believe you are right, the bowl must not be hot, but no matter how much we believe you, you have to try."

"If you don't reach out, the gold will belong to the attendant?"

The man didn't expect that the people who were in his camp just now would all rebel at once.

His two friends also looked ugly, and they didn't expect the man to be serious with a servant.

The man wanted to stretch out his hand to try, no matter how hot it was later, he just said it was not hot.

But looking at this bowl of water, why do the bubbles keep popping up?

Seeing the man hesitating, the attendant was really worried for a moment that the man really stretched out his hand.

He wasn't afraid that the man would burn his hands, mainly because if something happened in the store, Mr. Su would definitely be upset.
