Royal Palace Wonders, Summer Coolness
The sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight penetrated into every corner of the palace.
The stone lions at the gate of the palace were scorched by the sun, as if the slightest touch would burn your fingers. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and the occasional passers-by were in a hurry, their steps hurriedly avoiding the heat that was about to melt the body.
Nangong Yan returned from the palace. As soon as he stepped into the gate of the palace, a strong, pungent and strange smell went straight into his nose.
His face wrinkled instantly and he shouted, "Princess!
What’s going on in this house?
There was a strange smell coming up from the stove, which made my head hurt! ”
An Yi followed behind him and staggered because of the smoke. He quickly covered his nose, his organs almost twisted together.
"Master, this smell is so weird, even more pungent than a hundred pairs of stinky socks that have not been washed for half a year. Is there something rotten and moldy in the mansion?"
As Nangong Yan spoke, he walked quickly into the mansion and shouted to the maid, "Quick, open all the windows for ventilation, and light some incense to remove the odor. If this smell continues to spread, I won't be able to sleep well tonight!"
At this time, everyone who was enjoying the coolness of the air conditioner and eating fruit in the front hall heard the noise.
Bai Linglong raised her lips slightly, and said to her neighbor with a smile: "It seems that the prince has returned. Let's go and welcome him."
After that, he took the four babies, Wang Meng, Zhao Gang and other maids and servants, and walked towards the door in a mighty manner.
Nangong Yan saw Bai Linglong with a puzzled look on his face, and asked again: "Princess, why is there suddenly such a strange smell in this mansion?"
Bai Linglong couldn't help laughing, her eyes flashing with cunning, and explained: "Your Highness, this is the smell of a new fruit I brought to you, it's called durian.
Although this durian doesn’t smell very good, it tastes sweet, soft and delicious. You must try it. ”
As she spoke, she motioned for Zhao Gang to take a piece of durian and hand it to Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan looked at the durian that was handed to him. The sharp thorns all over it and the pungent smell scared him as if he had seen something dangerous.
He took a big step back, waving his hands wildly, "This looks prickly and tastes weird, do you want to eat it?
Is it a poisonous fruit in the wild? ”
Zhao Gang on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by the taste and appearance, this durian is a 'sweet treasure' hidden deep inside.
I was just like you at first, scared by the smell, but I resisted the princess's advice and took a bite. Wow, it opened the door to a new world of gourmet food. Just trust me for once and give it a try. ”
Nangong Yan took the durian doubtfully, and after hesitating for a long time, he mustered up his courage and took a careful bite as if he was biting poison.
In an instant, his frown slowly relaxed, and the suspicion on his face was instantly replaced by surprise, "Huh?
The taste is so unique, sweet, soft and mellow. Oh, I really underestimated this good-looking thing. ”
Bai Linglong looked at Nangong Yan's reaction and smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to speak, Nangong Yan suddenly frowned and asked in confusion, "Princess, that's right!
When I first entered the house, I felt so hot that I felt like I was being roasted on a fire. But when I arrived at this front hall, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar and was incredibly cool. Why is that? ”
Bai Linglong smiled mysteriously, her eyes revealing a hint of pride, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look at this magical artifact I brought to your house."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the air conditioner installed on the wall.
"This thing is called an air conditioner. It's amazing. It blows out cool air, no matter how hot it is. As long as it's there, our house will always be cool. It's really a summer savior."
Nangong Yan looked in the direction of Bai Linglong's finger, and saw a strange-looking object hanging on the wall, blowing out a steady stream of cold wind.
He walked forward, curiously looking at this thing he had never seen before, reaching out his hand to feel the cool breeze, and muttered, "What...what kind of treasure is this?
Princess, you always bring me such strange yet extremely practical things. Have you received some miraculous teachings? ”
Bai Linglong smiled and was about to explain in detail. At this time, Zhao Gang walked up to An Yi with a piece of durian and said enthusiastically: "Brother An Yi, you should try this durian too. It's really delicious. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
An Yi waved his hands quickly, shaking his head like a rattle, his face full of fear, "Stop, stop, don't hurt me, I can't stand the smell, eat it?
I'm afraid I'll vomit it out right there, please spare me. ”
As he said this, he quickly took several steps back, fearing that the smell of durian would get any closer to him.
Zhao Gang smiled helplessly and was about to take the durian back. Seeing this, Bai Linglong smiled and said, "If An Yi really can't stand the taste of durian, then eat a piece of watermelon. Watermelon is also sweet and delicious, and is the best to eat in this hot weather."
An Yi nodded quickly, as if he had been granted amnesty, "Thank you, Princess, watermelon is still reliable, I accept this taste.
The smell of durian seemed to have poisoned my nose, but the smell of watermelon brought me back to my senses. ”
As he said this, he took a piece of watermelon from the maid and started to eat it with big mouthfuls. The juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off. He ate it with great satisfaction.
Here, Nangong Yan was still studying the air conditioner. He turned to look at Bai Linglong, his eyes full of curiosity, "Princess, please tell me in detail how this air conditioner works and why it blows such a cool breeze?
Bai Linglong cleared her throat, organized her words, and said, "Your Majesty, the principle of this air conditioner is actually the use of something called refrigerant.
The refrigerant is like a hard-working porter, circulating non-stop inside the air conditioner.
When it flows in the machine, wonderful changes occur, sometimes becoming gas and sometimes becoming liquid.
In this changing process, it absorbs and releases heat. ”
Nangong Yan frowned, trying to digest what Bai Linglong said, with a look of confusion on his face. He scratched his head and asked, "Princess, how did you make the refrigerant change from gas to liquid?
This king finds it hard to understand.
Does it have some magical magic? ”
Bai Linglong thought for a moment, trying to figure out how to explain it in a more understandable way.
