Celebrities who were delayed by food

Xie Yunxi came out after finishing the Yangchun noodles. Everyone in the Xie family had already woken up and gathered in the front hall.

The servant served the noodles and placed them on the table for everyone.

When I first saw the noodle soup in the bowl, I felt that the soup was clear and flat, while the noodles were also white, smooth, but felt a little bland.

However, the summer solstice is sweltering, and even though it was breakfast, everyone didn't have much appetite, especially Xie Qi and the others were hungover last night, and their mouths were already tasteless, but seeing that this noodle was made by their family Saburo, they didn't want to To live up to it, they all wanted to finish eating, but they didn't have much expectation in their hearts.

Xie Yunxi looked at it, but smiled and said nothing, and only said to eat while it was hot.

Everyone held their chopsticks and spoons and began to eat one after another.

After taking a mouthful of smooth noodles, I felt that the noodles were glutinous and smooth, which was very appetizing, and I didn't feel that I had a mouthful of clear soup immediately.

It's just white noodles, served with some scallion oil, I never thought it would be so delicious.

Everyone praised in unison.

Mrs. Xie was very satisfied after eating a bowl of noodle soup, "This bowl of refreshing and fragrant noodle soup in the morning is really appetizing, Saburo is good at craftsmanship." After patting his stomach, he felt happy.

Seeing everyone eating happily, Xie Yunxi was also happy, "Noodles in the summer solstice are very good. I was in a hurry today, and the kitchen happened to be boiling soup. I saw that making Yangchun noodles is the best. It is simple and delicious. Everyone likes it. I will have breakfast tomorrow." Do some more."

Everyone in the Xie family knows that they love to cook, and they also heard that this is called "Yangchun Noodles" and it doesn't take much effort.

Of course, the happiest one is Xie Xiaowu. She already has a bitter summer, and she doesn’t want to eat when summer comes. Now this bowl of refreshing and mellow Yangchun noodles is very appetizing. No, she finished eating it in just a while Look at her bowl of noodle soup, there is no foam left.

Yangchun noodles are suitable for the elderly and children. Seeing this, Xie Yunxi was very happy.

And Xie Xiawu was holding an empty bowl, showing off happily, "Third Brother, Third Brother, do you think Xiao Wu is the most obedient, there is nothing left, I have eaten everything."

He said again: "The third brother's cooking is the best."

Xie Yunxi stroked her temple hair, "Little Wu likes it, Third Brother will do something else in the afternoon."

Xie Yanshi glanced at Xie Xiaowu angrily, "You picky eater." When she turned to Xie Yunxi, she looked amiable again, "Sanlang, don't spoil her, breakfast is enough to bother you There is no reason to ask you to run to the kitchen in the afternoon."

Xie Yunxi smiled, "It's nothing, it just so happens that grandpa has been traveling for many days, and he doesn't have the opportunity to be filial on weekdays, so it's right to cook more delicious food now."

Seeing that he insisted, everyone couldn't stop them, they just asked the kitchen to prepare more ice to cool off the heat, and repeatedly told him not to be too tired.

And Mrs. Xie is very happy at this meeting, he sees his good grandson so filial, the wrinkles on his face are full of happiness.

However, he would eat and drink enough, but he remembered the "stimulation" just mentioned.

Mrs. Xie thinks he is the best grandfather. As a good grandfather, he naturally wants to share good things with his good grandchildren.

He felt that as a grandfather, he shouldn't be partial to one another, and it's even more wrong to be partial to something, so——

"Dalang, Sanlang, Erya, let's finish eating."

Old Master Xie had a compassionate face, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Come, come, come, go to the waterside pavilion with Grandpa, it's cool there, Ah Ye has traveled around this time, and found a lot of good things, especially one of them, especially It’s amazing, wait for grandpa to demonstrate it to you.”

Although they didn't know what this magical thing was, Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua were taken aback by being called out suddenly, especially when they saw Xie Yunxi's face with a gradually stiff smile, they both swallowed nervously.

——Because of Mrs. Xie's dark history in the past, it always makes people feel inexplicably uneasy that he can be so excited.

Xie Yunxi thought that if he didn't give his grandpa a chance to "show his talent" at this moment, he would definitely not let it go. Instead of letting the old man mess around by himself, it would be better to toss it all in front of his own face.

At any rate, with myself present, if the measurement is over, he can stop it in time.

——Hey, I still have to find something else fun to divert the old man's attention later!

***

A little bit more, inside the water pavilion of Xie's house.

Xie Yunxi, Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua stood in a row obediently.

The three of them were nervous, their eyes fixed on Mrs. Xie's hand, and listened to him introduce the glass bottle in his hand, "Don't look at the yellow powder as inconspicuous, but with just such a little powder, his power is quite powerful."

——You actually know how powerful you are, so don't play around!

Those who have experienced nine years of duty should know that the chemical properties of sulfur are active, and its powder can be mixed with air or oxidants, and it is extremely flammable and even explosive.

Xie Yunxi looked at Mrs. Xie's rough operation, which was completely unmeasured, and only relying on the feel of the hand to throw saltpeter powder, charcoal and other messy things into the pill furnace——Emma, ​​it's terrible!

The palms are naturally full of sweat.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie still knows how to measure, and only played with a half-person-sized alchemy furnace. The specific grams of the materials inside are unknown, but estimated from the quantity, it is only the effect of a big firecracker. If it just explodes, the alchemy furnace will definitely If it explodes, if it is too close, it will be quite bad.

Xie Yunxi gathered herself together, "Grandpa, didn't you say that this thing would explode in the furnace? I'm quick with my hands and feet. It's better for me to put the last yellow powder."

Old Mrs. Xie was about to say something, but Xie Nianhua and Xie Wenqing who were beside him became anxious.

Xie Nianhua snapped back and said, "Then how can I do it? It's just your little arms and legs, I'll do it."

How could Xie Wenqing ask his siblings to take risks, "Neither of you two is reliable. As the eldest brother, I should do this."

I only heard Mrs. Xie say it was dangerous, but Xie Wenqing didn't know exactly how dangerous it was, so I could only confess: "If something happens later, both of you, take care of Grandpa."

The three brothers and sisters fought back and forth, but they almost didn't quarrel.

Old Master Xie looked at the three brothers and sisters, but he stroked his beard and smiled, very satisfied - the favorite thing for an elder is that the younger generation can love each other so much and help each other.

"As expected of my grandchildren of Xie Tianqi, the Xie family will be handed over to you, my old man can rest assured, but—"

After admiring it, he said in distaste: "You three-haired children, you don't know how to use your brains, my old man is so unreliable, knowing the danger and still letting it go?"

——Reliable?You have this thing.

Xie Yunxi, Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua looked at each other, then nodded shamelessly, and said in unison, "You have never been reliable."

Mrs. Xie immediately turned black, and felt that he should fight hard and try to defend his famous name in his life.

"Old man, I'm so unreliable. Look, you'll be taken aback when you praise me. I don't know how to be honest with an old man like me."

Hearing this, the three brothers and sisters of the Xie family all raised their eyebrows unanimously, counting old accounts one after another.

Xie Nianhua spoke first, "Grandfather, when I was seven years old, you said you took me to dig out the egg nest, but the eggs were not found, but you provoked the whole chicken coop to attack us, and you Nothing happened at all, I just messed with chicken feathers and shit, hehe—"

"what?"

Mrs. Xie looked around, "Ah, my old man is getting old and has a bad memory."

It's too perfunctory to look stupid.

"Grandfather, of course my grandson knows that you have a bad memory."

Xie Wenqing squinted immediately, "When I was eight years old, you took me to Qi's hometown as a guest, but you drank it yourself and returned home in style, but you forgot about me as a living person. When you came back, you still said—oh, Dalang, you’re done for today.”

It's over, he didn't come home all night, and he got up early in the morning.sent him home.

Old Master Xie rubbed his nose, "Look at the weather, the blue sky and white clouds, how beautiful it is."

From the left and the right, he is really...

Xie Yunxi sighed, "Grandpa, our three brothers and sisters couldn't be more honest. Speaking of which, except for the incident of lightning strikes, when I was ten years old in the summer, you coaxed me to play in the fields, but you insisted on plucking goose feathers. That goose was so annoying, it didn't count if I ran away by myself, but it even caused me to be 'chased and killed' by that goose all the way.

That's fine, but when you look back, you can see that I am in a mess, and I don't say anything to comfort me, but I am still smiling very happily. "

Seeing that his own grandson was unlucky, this grandfather gloated at other people's misfortune - people do things.

"Then what, didn't we roast and eat that goose in the end?" Mrs. Xie said embarrassingly, "I remember that goose tasted good, why don't we find another one to roast later."

Is the point the roast goose? ——The change of the topic is so blunt that I can't bear to look directly at it.

"Cough-cough-"

However, Mrs. Xie has weathered many storms, so she has a thick skin.

"You three children are young, why do you hold grudges like this? It's not right. Young people, you have to look forward. Come on, let's talk about this dirty thing."

Old Mrs. Xie greeted the servant, "Bring me my horizontally split bamboo pole."

The servant was kind and generous, and handed over a one-meter-long bamboo pole.

Mrs. Xie took it, and then turned to Xie Yunxi and the others, stroking his beard and coughing twice, "Just say that you young people don't know what to think all day long. Look, use this bamboo pole to make a slide, and put it from a distance. This yellow powder is not enough."

As he said that, he seemed to regain some dignity of being an elder, "So, my old man is the most reliable, unlike you three little boys, who know how to memorize those...cough, accidents."

——Hehe, you have had so many "accidents" over the years.

Xie Yunxi and the three of them looked at each other, they were angry and funny—hey, but let's do it, who told this to be a real grandfather, no matter how unreliable, he should be pampered.

The three of them were helpless, and this meeting was a sigh of relief. Looking at the one-meter-long bamboo pole, at least the safety problem was solved.

Everyone moved outside the water pavilion to see the yellow sulfur powder slipping from the bamboo pole into the small furnace, and then operated the wooden stick from a distance to stir the materials in the furnace with the sulfur powder. After stirring, the long cotton thread prepared in advance was ignited. Wait for the cotton thread to burn slowly until it reaches the furnace——

"careful……"

Old Mrs. Xie's reminder had just finished half a sentence when there was a loud "cracking" sound, and flames exploded inside the water pavilion. In a short while, the small bronze furnace was torn apart, and the wreckage was scattered all over the water pavilion, making it a mess.

Seeing this, Xie Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, the power was similar to what he estimated, and no one was injured.

Of course, as someone who had seen the power of real gunpowder, Xie Yunxi didn't think the explosion of the pill furnace was astonishing, but to other people around the water pavilion, this scene was quite shocking.

Rao is such a bold person as Xie Nianhua, and he can't come back to his senses for a long time at this moment.

Looking at the waves in the water pavilion, she swallowed immediately, "Fortunately, it's far away. I didn't expect that just a few powders could have such great power."

Xie Wenqing wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and he was also relieved - fortunately everyone stayed away and no one was hurt.

Mrs. Xie understood them very well when he saw them all looking overly frightened. After all, he was also frightened for a long time when he saw this for the first time.

However, he was relieved, but he was full of curiosity. Afterwards, he carefully experimented with his friends several times. Although he didn't understand the principle, he also figured out some ways. At least he knew that the amount was small and he kept a certain distance , ensuring safety is still no problem.

Looking at the situation in the water pavilion at this moment, Mrs. Xie stroked his beard and pondered: "Well, I feel that the effect can be greater, not as shocking as I saw last time."

After seeing too many large explosion effects, and then looking at the small-scale ones, it seems to be so boring.

It should be said that Mrs. Xie was actually like Xie Wenqing when he was young, and he was also a serious and dignified family member, but as he got older and the burden on him was lifted, his temper became more and more wild.

In the past two years, he has restrained himself a lot. After all, he doesn't want the juniors to worry about him all day long, but in his bones, he still yearns for the kind of excitement and extreme pleasure.

If the old man Xie lived in Xie Yunxi's original time and space, he might be a fan of extreme sports - then high-altitude bungee jumping, extreme racing and the like must be very suitable for his old man's appetite.

Xie Yunxi saw his "ambitious, it's interesting to blow up the whole Xie's house" eyes, and hurriedly told Huaiyuan to put away the pile of saltpeter, wood and other materials, and hinted that he should hide it.

Then he turned his head and began to fool around again, "Grandpa, I see that you still have a lot of saltpeter. No, I don't have enough ice in Taohuaju. It's really hot. Why don't you lend me the saltpeter first."

Mrs. Xie didn't doubt that there was him, he stroked his beard briefly and nodded in agreement, then said: "That's fine, I'll ask someone to get some more later, let's fry up some big ones."

Also fried big!

Xie Yunxi secretly said: Bomb it once and it will be enough for you to enjoy your old age. If you ask you to blow me up again, you have to write the name upside down.

Of course, he was still very calm on the face, "Thank you very much, Grandpa, but it will take some time to prepare for this back and forth. It just so happens that my grandson discovered something interesting a while ago. Why don't you stay at home and finish the ancestor worship, and you come to me." Peach Blossom House for a few days.”

——Hehe, if you go to the Peach Blossom Residence, you can still encounter a little bit of sulfur, and you will lose if you go to the saltpeter.

Old Mrs. Xie didn't see the sneer flashing in Xie Yunxi's eyes, only heard that there was fun and she was naturally curious.

But Xie Yunxi wanted to hang him at this meeting, half-talking and hiding half-sentences, so that the old man forgot about playing with explosives in a blink of an eye.

As the saying goes, those who have played are all floating clouds, and those who have not played are the treasures of the heart.

Xie Yunxi's hook was a good one.

And Xie Wenqing and Xie Nianhua watched coldly, seeing through and not telling the truth, and occasionally helping him out - after all, they didn't want Mrs. Xie to play with this dangerous thing again.

Leaving aside the development or value of black powder in this time and space, let’s just talk about the Xie family at this time. For them, stopping Mrs. Xie from playing with explosives is the most important thing.

Of course, thousands of years later, when people talk about the origin of gunpowder, the Xie family's gossip and anecdote will be inevitable.
