Fu Tingye always sent her to the door of her house.
If he hadn't considered that there were still military affairs waiting for him to handle when he returned, he would have to stay at Hua Qingxue's house for some time before returning to the camp.
Hua Qingxue carried the suitcase and cage and prepared to get off the car.
"Cough, cough." Fu Tingye coughed twice.
Hua Qingxue looked back at him suspiciously.
Fu Tingye sat motionless on the carriage, staring at Hua Qingxue with only a pair of sharp, deep black eyes.
For a long, long time…
Somehow, Hua Qingxue actually understood the look in his eyes!
"No." Hua Qingxue reached out to cover her mouth and shook her head.
Fu Tingye's face darkened.
Hua Qingxue looked troubled, "It's really not possible, your beard is too prickly."
As straightforward as she is, she tells the truth.
Fu Tingye's face turned even more ugly.
Hua Qingxue didn't dare to look too much, so she quickly got out of the car with the box and cage. When she turned around and saw that he hadn't caught up with her, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a crisp laugh: "General, go slowly, I won't see you off."
Fu Tingye opened the curtain, stared at her hard for a while, and then said, "I'll see you again in a few days."
Hua Qingxue smiled, "Haha, okay..."
The carriage drove away.
Hua Qingxue looked at the carriage going away and sighed in her heart.
—The development of her relationship with Fu Tingye is too fantastic, right
When he was in Renqiu, he clearly hated her. Why did he come back to Panshui and come to ask for marriage out of nowhere... What's even more amazing is that after being rejected, this guy actually came to force an engagement at night? !
Hua Qingxue really wanted to look in the mirror. Why didn't she know how attractive she was
Fu Tingye can now ask for a kiss with confidence...
Hua Qingxue really... couldn't adapt to his change.
She was not very good at rejecting others, but Fu Tingye was extremely strong and took advantage of her in every possible way.
Is she really going to marry an ancient person in a year
… Well, let’s take it one step at a time.
After returning home, Hua Qingxue rolled up her sleeves and did a general cleaning.
After cleaning up the house, she went to the carpenter's shop. The other party was shocked when he saw her and immediately took out the mold that Hua Qingxue had customized before.
"Because I haven't seen the girl here for so long, I thought she didn't want it anymore. If she comes a few days later, I'm afraid the items will have been sold out at a low price."
Hua Qingxue checked the molds one by one and found that they were exactly the same as what she asked for. A smile appeared on her face, "I was delayed by something a few days ago. I'm sorry. Can you make some more molds like this for me? But the shapes are changed to squares and circles. shape."
She paid the remaining money. Seeing her willingness to pay, the carpenter immediately responded with a smile, "No problem. I will come over to pick up the goods in seven or eight days."
Hua Qingxue happily paid another part of the deposit.
She planned to use these palm-sized rectangular molds to make lard soap, the square ones to make sesame oil soap, and the round ones to make honey soap.
Pig fat can make snow-white soap. Because it has more saturated fatty acids, the hardness of the finished product is good. Compared with soap made from soft oil, it is not easy to absorb moisture and become soft. Moreover, the fatty acid composition of lard is similar to the structure of human fat. Similar, so lard soap has better skin adaptability and the foam is also very delicate.
The disadvantage is that it smells bad. After all, it is animal fat, which is less refreshing than those vegetable fats.
Of course, the new weapon she told Fu Tingye was indeed related to soap making...
During this period of time, she had seen basically all the weapons in the Arms Supervisor, and she had also thought a lot about improvements.
In addition to the large-scale weapons used in sieges, the weapons used by soldiers must not only meet a certain level of lethality, but also have another important point, which is that they can be mass-produced.
Once this is not met, the so-called improvements are in vain.
Because on the battlefield, just changing the weapons in the hands of one soldier or several soldiers will not have much effect on the situation of the battle.
Hua Qingxue had to carefully consider the cost-effectiveness of improvements.
-Some improvements can indeed be improved, but they require a large investment of manpower, material and financial resources, so such improvements must be carefully considered.
-There are also some improvements. Only small changes can be made, but the power of the entire weapon can be greatly improved. Such improvements are obviously worth it.
Hua Qingxue thought a lot. When it comes to cost-effectiveness... there is one weapon that must be manufactured.
Dynamite.
The method of making explosives is slightly related to soap, and the materials are simple to obtain, the production method is rough, and the lethality is amazing.
Compared with cold weapons, thermal weapons naturally show absolute power.
As far as Hua Qingxue knows, Daqi has explosives, but their power is very small. They are basically equivalent to enhanced fireworks, so their scope of application on the battlefield is extremely small.
If she could really make a powerful explosive, Hua Qingxue felt that it would be more valuable than improving any weapon.
However, this can only be regarded as an idea at present. If you really want to make explosives, you must not only consider the materials, but also the container to hold the explosives.
At that time, Nobel and his son developed explosives and conducted a lot of research on nitroglycerin. They finally built a factory and started production. However, due to the instability and danger of this chemical substance, the factory exploded and many people were killed or injured.
Hua Qingxue didn't want to lose her life because of this.
So... let's start with soap.
Her life has returned to peace. She eats, sleeps and makes soap every day, and her life is actually quite fulfilling.
It's just that Fu Tingye clearly said he would come to see her, but he never showed up.
He is a man who sticks to his word. Hua Qingxue is worried that something happened at the border...
Sure enough, not long after, news came from the city that there was a war on the border!
There's a war!
This is almost the first thought in the mind of every citizen in Panshui City!
Hua Qingxue thought everyone would be frightened, but the result was completely different from what she imagined. None of the people on the street showed panic.
Instead, they stayed together in small groups. Some wanted to deliver food to the military camp, some wanted to deliver medicine, and some were strong young men in the city who had put aside their work to work for the Qingzhou camp!
When the Liao soldiers were mentioned, everyone became red-eyed with hatred. Even the old, weak, women and children would pray to God and Buddha at home and the soldiers would kill all the Liao people!
As an outsider, Hua Qingxue finally felt the unbreakable hatred between Qi and Liao again.
It's the same hatred, but it's really very different from Ren Qiu's feeling.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand. After all, Renqiu is a place that has been occupied by the Liao people. The people there have no hope and the city is dead.
As for the people of Panshui City, they have Fu Tingye!
The image of Fu Tingye is a bright light in their hearts. If the light does not go out, it will bring them hope.
…
Once the war breaks out, it cannot end in a day or two.
Even if she knew that Fu Tingye was extraordinary, she would still be worried...
She went to the general's mansion and found Zhao Sheng.
"Can you send me to Qingzhou Camp?" Hua Qingxue asked.
Zhao Sheng said in embarrassment: "If you were to go in normal times, of course I would be obliged to send you there, but... you also know that the border is not peaceful recently, so if something happens along the way... "
Hua Qingxue also knew that she had some difficulties, so she replied disappointedly: "I just want to see him... thinking that maybe I can be of some help..."
Zhao Sheng smiled and said: "Don't worry! The war situation is going well! The batches of knives and bows you improved earlier have been produced one after another. The Liao soldiers were stunned by our general! You are at home. Just wait for the good news with peace of mind!"
Hua Qingxue blushed slightly, thinking that she was not like him, so even if there was good news, it shouldn't have reached her home...
No matter what, Hua Qingxue finally felt relieved, "Just hurry up and make it. I thought I would have to wait until the imperial court allocates the money..."
"Then what year and month will we have to wait? The silver coins distributed in the past did not arrive for two or three months, so our general always paid in advance!" Zhao Sheng said this with pride, "Our general's troops have never been cut off. The salary, clothing and food are the best among several military camps."
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but laugh, it was true that he... was just putting all his energy into that big military camp.
Knowing that Fu Tingye was safe and sound, Hua Qingxue no longer insisted on going to Qingzhou Camp.
"I disturbed Butler Zhao today. Since the general is fine, I will go back first... If there is any news about the battle ahead, please let Butler Zhao tell me."
Butler Zhao hurriedly said: "Don't disturb, don't disturb! If any news comes back, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Hua Qingxue smiled slightly, turned and left the general's mansion.
When Zhao Sheng saw Hua Qingxue leaving, he hurriedly called for someone to come over and polish the ink for him.
"Steward Zhao, you want to send a message to the general again?" The young boy who was wearing ink was completely confused. "Didn't I just send one this morning? Now I'm sending another one. Will the general think we have too many things to do?"
"You don't understand." Zhao Sheng dipped his hand in ink and started writing, "This letter is unusual. The general will die of joy after reading it!"
After saying that, I suddenly realized that mentioning the word "death" was very unlucky, so I hurriedly poohed three times.
The boy looked at Zhao Sheng strangely, puzzled, and looked at the letter in Zhao Sheng's hand with confusion.
Zhao Sheng wrote:
... Miss Hua was worried about the general's safety, so she came to the general's mansion several times and asked the villain to send her to the Qingzhou camp. The villain is afraid that the road will be uneven and that if something goes wrong, it will cause an irreversible situation, so he has been refusing to do so. However, Miss Hua has a deep love for the general, and today she came to the general's house to beg again, with sincere words and a sad face. Although the villain has passed away I refused, but felt uneasy. I dare to ask the general what his explanation was
A long and eloquent chapter, full of descriptions of Hua Qingxue's sorrowful appearance as she was tossing and turning over Fu Tingye.
The boy read it blankly and couldn't help but ask: "Butler Zhao, Miss Hua... isn't it her first time back to the General's Mansion today?"
"Yes." Zhao Sheng put down the pen and gently blew dry the ink on the paper.
Waiter: "And... after you persuaded me, Miss Hua didn't beg again and again with a sad face... "
Zhao Sheng folded the letter paper and showed an enigmatic smile, "This is called proper artistic polish, do you understand?"
