Chapter 154 I'll Perform a Magical Show on You
The next day, when Shen Xiangwan got up, it was almost noon again. After returning to her room last night, she plunged into the laboratory and began to study poisons for martial arts masters. If it weren't for No. 3's reminder, she would probably have stayed up all night. Medicine and poison are inseparable, and she really likes to do all kinds of medical research.
"You haven't woken up yet?"
Seeing her yawning and looking tired, Wei Chengyi, who came out of the study, frowned slightly, with naked heartache in his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm so sleepy."
Coming forward and hugging his waist, Shen Xiangwan leaned on his arms and acted like a spoiled child. In fact, she had been awake for a long time. It was enough for a superpower to rest for a maximum of four hours a day. What's more, she was a ninth-level superpower. Even if she really stayed up for several days and nights, it wouldn't matter much. At most, she would just look unhappy.
"What did you do last night?"
Raising his hand to hold her, Wei Chengyi asked helplessly. He could tell from the looks of her that she must have stayed up late, and he didn't know what she was busy with.
"What else can I do? Deal with my little treasures."
Slightly withdrawing from his embrace, Shen Xiangwan raised her head slightly. To her, all the drugs she had researched were treasures.
"Little baby?"
Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi lowered his eyes to meet hers. Did she have other treasures?
"Hahaha···"
Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but fall on him with laughter.
When the two of them went downstairs, it was almost another cup of tea. Zhao Yuping specially left some food for her, but seeing that the cooks were already preparing lunch, Shen Xiangwan did not eat it. She even asked Zhao Yuping not to leave any more food for her in the future. She had everything in her space and would never starve.
“It’s so hot!”
After lunch, Shen Xiangwan slumped in a chair listlessly. She seemed to have never experienced such hot weather. There were plenty of ways to cool down in the future world.
"Is it still hot?"
Wei Chengyi took the palm-leaf fan beside him and fanned her gently. Zhao Yuping beside him said helplessly, "It would be great if we could get some ice."
In previous summers, Prince Weiyang’s palace had ice cubes to cool down, but this year... Alas, Chenzhou is too remote, and I guess I can’t buy it even if I have money?
"ice?"
Shen Xiangwan sat up straight abruptly: "Yeah, how could I forget that there is a magical tool like ice to cool down?"
Shen Xiangwan's eyes suddenly lit up as she clenched her right fist and punched her left hand. Others couldn't make ice in this kind of weather, but she could. Moreover, the weather was so hot now, maybe they could make a fortune by selling ice cubes.
"What are you thinking? There is no way there is ice in Chenzhou."
Thinking that she wanted to buy it with money, Wei Chengyi shook his head helplessly. If he could really buy it, he would be willing to spend any amount of money.
"That's not necessarily true!"
Raising his finger and shaking it, Shen Xiangwan said mysteriously.
"oh?"
He seemed to have misunderstood something?
Wei Chengyi also became interested immediately. Shen Xiangwan ignored him and said loudly, "Aunt Zhou, have someone bring in two buckets of clean water."
Aunt Zhou is Zhou Wushuang. She is already over 30 years old. Even though she is a servant, she cannot always call her by her full name, so she just called her Aunt Zhou.
"good."
Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, Zhou Wushuang still walked out quickly.
"Aunt Wu, go find me a mortar."
"yes."
Wu Lixiu, who was named, also left. Shen Xiangwan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Psychologically, she suddenly felt that it was not so hot anymore.
"Wanwan, what do you want to do?"
Wei Chengyi remained calm and had no intention of asking any questions. Zhao Yuping and her daughter looked at each other, full of curiosity.
"I'm going to perform a magic trick for you."
Without answering her question, Shen Xiangwan went upstairs and took down a large cloth bag filled with white crystals. In front of everyone, she used a stone mortar to grind all the crystals into powder, and put them separately into the clay basin that Wu Shuiyu had brought. After all the crystals were ground, she picked up the clay basin and walked towards two buckets full of water.
No one knew what she was going to do. She just grabbed the crystalline powder and put it into the bucket according to a certain proportion. She then reached in and stirred it constantly. Finally, she asked Zhou Wushuang to find two huge pot lids to cover the bucket.
"Is that all?"
Seeing her sitting back down, Wei Chengyi looked at the two covered buckets and asked in confusion.
"Um."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan put away the remaining powder: “They will turn into ice in a while.”
"real?"
Zhao Yuping and others exclaimed in disbelief. Don't blame them for making a fuss, this kind of thing is really unbelievable.
"Whether it's true or not, you will soon find out."
Chen Xiangwan scanned them one by one, and did not waste any words explaining. When they saw the results, they would naturally believe it.
"What is that white stone?"
Without doubting her statement at all, Wei Chengyi was more concerned about the stone that turned water into ice.
"That's saltpeter."
This time Shen Xiangwan did not hide it: "Saltpeter is a mineral, also called potassium nitrate. It has many uses. In addition to being used to make ice, it can also be mixed with sulfur and charcoal to make gunpowder. The bullets in the weapons I used contain gunpowder."
"Really?"
He had heard of saltpeter before, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.
"Brother Yi, do you want to make some money?"
Without giving him a chance to think, Shen Xiangwan leaned over and asked with a smile.
"Be serious."
Brother Shayi, it's kind of embarrassing to call you that.
Wei Chengyi looked serious on the surface, but his heart was itching unbearably, and his ears were quietly blushing. Although it was not the first time that she called him like this, but last time she was just teasing and he didn't think too much about it. But now she was being extremely coquettish, making his heart itchy.
"Sultry."
Looking at his red ears, Shen Xiangwan muttered softly.
"Wanwan."
With Wei Chengyi's martial arts skills, he could hear her clearly even if she spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
Afraid of really getting mad, Shen Xiangwan straightened his clothes and said in a serious tone, "Do you have any talents who are good at business?"
"Selling ice?"
Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi instantly guessed what she was thinking.
Shen Xiangwan nodded: “Well, there is no shortage of rich people anywhere. Since ice is so scarce and we know how to make it, why not take the opportunity to make some money?”
No one will complain about having too much money. The things they will do in the future will require an astronomical amount of money that is absolutely unimaginable. If there is a way to make money, it would be a waste not to use it.
"good."
How could Wei Chengyi possibly object to making money?
“Write down the proportions and precautions for making ice later, and leave the rest to me.”
"Um."
The couple made the decision in a few words. Zhao Yuping and her daughter looked at each other, unable to get a word in. Not to mention the other guards and servants.
