Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 357: Saltpeter

"What does the prince want?" Although Wang Gui was curious about why he should go to the drugstore to buy things, he still gave priority to asking what Li Xin wanted to buy.

"Saltpeter." Li said, "The more the better, you can buy as much as you have."

Wang Gui silently remembered these words in his heart, turned around and left.

"Why does the prince buy saltpetre?" Runniang asked innocently, "What is saltpetre? Is it a kind of stone?"

Li Xin laughed blankly and said: "Yes. It is a special kind of stone. I will use it to make ice in a while."

Runniang blinked, curiosity and surprise gleamed in her black pupils.

Soon after, Wang Gui returned with a small pot of saltpeter. He said: "My lord, I bought the saltpeter."

"That's it?" Li Xin took the pot and turned it over unsatisfactorily. Although this material can be recycled, it is better to have a moderate amount of the total amount, so as to save time when it is not needed.

Wang Gui smiled and said, "Of course there are more. The people below bought a large sack and came back. I wondered if the prince might not be able to use so many, so I installed these and brought it over. If the prince wants more, I will go again... ."

"Oh, oh, okay, then I understand." Li Xin smiled and said, "I don't need so much, I just want to prepare some first."

Runniang on the side also put down her fan and ran to stand beside Li Xin, carefully examining the dirty pot of saltpetre in her hands, and silently guessing in her heart how these stone-like crystals would turn into ice.

"Let's go." Li Xin smiled at Xiao Runniang, led her to the shady corridor outside the house, and ordered the other two maids to prepare something.

At this time, the servants in the front yard suddenly came to report: "Master, Master Chen is visiting."

When Li Xin heard this, he thought it was Chen Youlan who was here, and smiled and asked his servant to quickly invite him in. Unexpectedly, the person here is not Chen Youlan, but Chen Xinheng.

Facing the disappointed Li Xin, Chen Xinheng stepped forward silently: "Why do you look like this when you see me? I don't owe you any money."

Li Xin rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and squatted down with Runniang. In front of the two of them was a large wooden basin filled with a lot of water. There was a relatively small copper basin floating on the water. The basin was filled with about half a basin of cold boiling water.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xinheng squatted down enthusiastically when he saw this.

Li Xin didn't pay attention to Chen Xinheng, but Xiao Runniang who had seen Chen Xinheng had a good impression of this good-looking brother, she said compassionately: "The prince wants to play tricks."

"Ah? Conjure?" Chen Xinheng frowned, glanced at Li Xin with a smile, and said, "I haven't heard that you still have this ability. What trick?"

Li Xin felt that Chen Xinheng was really noisy, and said casually: "Condensing water becomes ice."

"Condensed water into ice?" Chen Xinheng stretched out his hand to wipe a little sweat from his forehead, and said strangely, "Where does the ice come from in this weather?"

Runniang couldn't help but give Chen Xinheng a white look, her eyes seemed to say: Why are you so stupid! What is the trick to become ice cubes in the winter? Of course, it’s amazing that ice cubes are turned into in summer!

Chen Xinheng accurately grasped Li Xin's thoughts from the little maidservant in his eyes, and was a little confused for a while-as if... it was really such a truth. But how could it be possible that the summer turns into ice?

While "impossible" was circling in Chen Xinheng's mind, Li Xin had already poured all the saltpetre in his hand into the wooden basin.
