She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 11 The Unreliable Masters of Prince Shang's Mansion
The two unconsciously moved closer, and came to the cave silently.

After five hours of standing still, the pothole filled with soil was a little dry, and the water they poured had flowed into the second pothole.

Li Yewu was very satisfied, and beckoned Zicui to dig out the soil and straw with her, and filled in new ones.

It is still a layer of soil and a layer of straw, tamped and then watered.

When the busy work was over, the two of them were covered in mud and sweat again.
Zicui was really tired this time, and she didn't even have the energy to inquire, so she just followed Li Yewu back with a lantern, washed up and fell asleep.

What the two of them didn't know was that after they walked for about a quarter of an hour, a black figure slowly appeared around the pool, and he took a long time to observe carefully before disappearing into the dark night.

……

The next morning, as soon as Li Yewu opened his eyes, he felt someone outside the bed.

She sat up in a jerk, and saw Zi Cui sneaking behind the bed curtain, and when she saw her sitting up, she immediately approached with a smile.

"Little madam, you are awake, I will wait for you to wash up."

Talking fart fart fart to fetch water.

"..."

Li Yewu glanced at the sky that hadn't completely brightened yet, and was a little speechless.

Although it's been the fifth day since I've been here, I still can't get used to the feeling of having a maid in the room anytime.

She can't remember how many times she was scared by Zi Cui.

However, even if she refuses Zicui to wait in the room, Zicui will still lay a floor at the door.

Li Yewu had no choice but to accept the fact that Zicui would lay the floor at her place at night.

While Li Yewu was washing and thinking, Zi Cui also looked at her secretly, her bright eyes were full of urging.

Li Yewu was stunned for a while before realizing that Zi Cui was very restless today, was she thinking about the nitric water in the cave?
She shook her head amusedly, and went to the cave after breakfast.

After one night of filtering, the second pit was already full of water.

The water in this pool is a bit like egg white mixed, showing a slightly yellow color.

Seeing the color of the water, Li Yewu knew it was half done.

In fact, the soil beside the hot spring pool is rich in potassium nitrate and nitrate, which is a rare raw material for nitrate.

What was filtered out like this last night was nitrate.

As long as the nitrate is mixed with alkaline water and repeatedly boiled over high heat, filtered and cooled, the condensed substance will crystallize and become nitrate.

Li Yewu asked the kitchen staff to come over and set up the stove on the spot. This action finally alarmed the old housekeeper who was busy recruiting troops.

Hearing that the little lady was digging holes and building a stove in the back mountain, the old butler hurried over with a puzzled face.

Li Yewu was just like a cook, busy pouring ashes into the boiling water.

Seeing this, the old butler was completely stunned.

"Little... little madam, what are you doing?"

"Uh..." Li Yewu took time to glance at the old butler in his busy schedule, and he had a good idea of ​​his appearance. After all, the commotion he made was not small, and it was impossible for him not to know.

Li Yewu explained with a smile: "I make some things for my daughter's house, and you will know it in the future."

The old housekeeper glanced at the pot of boiling gray water strangely, and then at Zi Cui suspiciously.

Zi Cui silently delivered an expression that she didn't know anything about.

The old housekeeper sighed helplessly: "Madam, the matter of your account to the old slave has been arranged. Are we going to set off normally tomorrow?"

"Ah, yes." Li Yewu nodded without raising her head.

Hearing this, the old housekeeper's expression became even weirder.

I'm going to travel far tomorrow, and I'm still playing in the mud today, my little lady...it's too unreasonable to play her cards.

Li Yewu didn't know what was wrong in the old housekeeper's heart, she just threw herself on the dusty water.

She doesn't care if others are watching or not.

After cleaning up here, Li Yewu went to collect salt and sawdust.

Everyone couldn't understand her behavior, and it was inevitable to get together to discuss it.

After all, the old housekeeper had gone through the storm, and he quickly guessed the answer based on the actions of the little lady.

He glanced at his followers with disdain: "I can't even guess how you are going to be the master's confidants."

"Uh..." The followers were ashamed.

They really can't read it.

The little lady is even more outrageously weird than the master.

Everyone was really curious, so they could only humbly bow to the old butler: "Please ask the old butler to clarify."

The old butler took a look at these young men who were raised by himself. They were all the most powerful confidantes around the master, but at this moment, everyone had a natural feeling of stupefaction on their faces.

The old housekeeper glanced at them resentfully: "You are still known as the master's think tank, you can't think of it so simple? The little madam will go to the mountains tomorrow to sell mountain goods, and take so much salt, of course it is used to marinate minced meat. "

Everyone was stunned for a while: "It seems... makes sense!"

"It turns out that the meat is to be cured. I thought the little lady was going to make poison."

"It's ridiculous, you don't need poison to make mountain goods."

"Why do you laugh at me? You also said that the little lady is going to make mud soup."

Every word you say to each other, these guys are blaming each other for their exaggerated brains.

"..." The old housekeeper glanced at the young man who bit the dog, and sighed silently.

Sure enough, things gather like birds and people form groups. Their master is unreliable, and their followers all follow him.

I thought the little lady was reliable, but after seeing her playing with mud in the back mountain, the old housekeeper became a little confused again.

The future of the Prince's Mansion...sad!
Li Yewu doesn't care if others say she is playing mud or playing house, what she wants to do is explosives, the less people know the truth, the better.

As for the process, even if they knew it, they couldn't copy it. After all, the formula was in their minds, and they probably never dreamed that the explosives were made from the pot of muddy water in front of them.

While waiting for the nitric soil to form, Li Yewu said he was going to take a nap, so even Zicui blocked the way.

In fact, she was tearing up the quilt to make hemp rope.

For explosives, there must be a cable lead.

These days, quilts and everything are made of cotton and linen, which happens to be a good thing for combustion.

She twisted it into hemp rope, then soaked it in salt water, and after drying in the shade, Li Yewu tried to light it with a candle, and within a short while, sparks flew everywhere and burned it up.

"Beautiful!" Li Yewu was very pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect the nitrate in the cave to be so pure!

It's so flammable just after being exposed to nitrate, it's worth making explosives!
Li Yewu was looking forward to the condensed nitrate soil.

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight, and Li Yewu arrived at the cave again.

At this time, thick white crystals were deposited on the bottom of the pot.

They reflect light under the moonlight, like stars falling on the bottom of a pot.

Li Yewu fished out these precious nitrates, there were as many as two barrels.

Satisfied, she picked everything back to her room and there was nothing left.

Zicui, who was so busy, was very happy. After all, she participated in the whole process of playing with mud, and finally it was time to solve the riddle. It was so exciting!

At this moment, Li Yewu snapped a long list to Zi Cui: "You have more important tasks tonight."
