Chapter 171 Finding Saltpeter
The expedition was imminent, and the matter of saltpeter could not be delayed even for a moment.
.................................................................................
Chen Mansion.
Murong Chen has been living in Chen Mansion these days.
Following Chen Wanruo's training method, he now walks like a normal person.
It's just that it's still a bit difficult to exert force.
"Your Majesty, the saltpeter has been found!"
"Found it? Really found it?" Murong Chen stopped what he was doing and asked.
Although he was not very clear what Chen Wanruo wanted the saltpeter for.
But he felt very happy that he could complete the tasks she asked him to do.
"We have indeed found it. It is over at Shanhualing."
"Okay, take me over to have a look!" Murong Chen said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Wanruo and Xiaochun coming in from outside.
Seeing this, Murong Chen became even more excited.
I don’t know what made me feel this way, but when I saw Chen Wanruo, I immediately walked towards her.
He didn't even notice the impatient pace.
"You seem very excited?" Chen Wanruo spoke first.
"Indeed, for I have found the saltpeter you require."
"Really? Did you really find it?" Chen Wanruo asked in disbelief.
"This is natural. It's just over Shanhualing Mountain."
When saying this, Murong Chen also looked at Ye Yi who was standing beside him.
The implication was that he should help him explain to Chen Wanruo.
"Miss Chen, that's true. Today we found a large amount of saltpeter over at Shanhualing. As you said, there really is a warm water pool nearby."
"There is no time to lose, take me to see it now!" Chen Wanruo said impatiently.
Having this saltpeter is equivalent to having explosives.
This is a one-on-ten situation...
No, it's a weapon that can defeat a hundred enemies at once.
And if used well, it can do more than that.
When Ye Yi saw Chen Wanruo's impatient look, he didn't dare to make a decision for a moment.
Then they saw Murong Chen standing aside. After seeing Murong Chen nod, they headed towards Shanhualing.
At the same time, Murong Peng and Yao Fengjiao in the palace also noticed their whereabouts.
But all this is under Chen Wanruo's control.
"What do they need so much saltpeter for?" Yao Fengjiao asked with narrowed eyes.
"Your Majesty, it is said that Chen Wanruo's Tianxia Diyi Lou needs it."
"Why does the restaurant use so much saltpeter?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that saltpeter can be used to make ice. Of course, this is what Chen Wanruo said herself."
"Is there such a thing?" Yao Fengjiao asked puzzledly.
But if it was used to make ice, it wouldn't bother her and she wasn't bothered to care.
She didn't know why, but she always felt like something was wrong.
But for a moment, she couldn't explain why.
After thinking about it, he was still worried, so he instructed the guard Yao Yi beside him:
"Send someone to check again. I need assurance that Chen Wanruo is indeed only using this saltpeter to make ice."
"Yes, Queen Mother!"
Although Yao Yi was confused, he also understood Yao Fengjiao.
She is a cautious person, but at the same time, she trusts her sixth sense.
Chen Wanruo didn’t know what Yao Fengjiao was thinking, but since she didn’t want outsiders to know, it was impossible for outsiders to know.
Because she will make all these things in space.
She had known for a long time that Yao Fengjiao would pay attention to her every move.
They couldn't get close to the courtyard of the Chen Mansion, but if they left the Chen Mansion, she would definitely send someone to keep an eye on them.
Chen Wanruo knew even more clearly that Yao Fengjiao was not someone who could be easily fooled.
So even Murong Chen didn't know what she was going to do with the saltpeter.
Shanhualing.
When Chen Wanruo and her group arrived, they had already started preparing to dig.
Seeing this, Chen Wanruo hurriedly shouted: "All of you stop first!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at her in confusion.
Even Murong Chen didn't understand why she didn't let them continue digging.
"These saltpeters can easily ignite and explode. When you dig, remember to be gentle. The lighter the better. Try to be as gentle as possible."
When Chen Wanruo just stood in this place, she discovered that this place was very warm.
Even warm enough to feel a little hot.
Based on this, Chen Wanruo knew that there should be a lot of saltpeter here.
After hearing Chen Wanruo's words, everyone immediately relaxed their actions.
"Miss Chen, it's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise, it might have caused a big mistake."
"It doesn't matter, there's still time." Chen Wanruo was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Everything went smoothly after that. When the first batch of saltpeter was dug out, Chen Wanruo and Murong Chen returned to the Chen Mansion with this batch of saltpeter.
Leaving Ye Yi here to watch.
As soon as he returned to the Chen Mansion, Murong Chen looked at Chen Wanruo very seriously.
"Tell me the truth, do you have any other uses for this saltpeter besides making ice?"
The excitement in Chen Wanruo's eyes when she saw the saltpeter just now did not escape Murong Chen's eyes.
He was certain that she must be hiding something else from him.
"Well, there are other uses, but I can't tell you yet!" Chen Wanruo said bluntly.
The more people know about this, the more dangerous it becomes.
You know, this is the key weapon that determines whether they can win this battle.
There is really no room for error.
After hearing Chen Wanruo's words, Murong Chen no longer hesitated.
He knew that she always had a plan for what she did.
Since she has no intention of telling, then she has her own plans and all I have to do is wait.
Looking at the saltpeter that was transported back, Chen Wanruo first taught Xiaohong how to make ice.
"Miss, are you looking for me?" Xiaohong walked up to Chen Wanruo and said.
"Well, now that we have saltpeter, I will teach you how to make ice tonight. When you return to the first floor tomorrow, just tell them."
"Making ice? Miss, do you really know how to make ice?"
"When did I ever brag?" Chen Wanruo said lightly.
Xiaohong: “…” Can she say she said something wrong?
"First, prepare two large basins and a stick. The bigger the basins, the better." Chen Wanruo instructed Xiaohong again.
"Okay, miss!"
When Xiaohong brought over the two wooden basins, Chen Wanruo took the stick from Xiaohong's hand.
Then add more water into the basin.
"Miss, is this ice making complicated? If it's too complicated, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it in one go."
"It's not complicated. It's very simple. If you watch it now, you can learn it in one go."
Chen Wanruo said to Xiaohong while adding water into the wooden basin.
