The government exchanged one thousand copper coins for one tael of silver, while the price among ordinary people was lower.
However, the copper coins were too heavy and Xie Zhao did not have much demand for them.
After the discussion, Xie Zhao went to the grocery store to buy strong liquor and prepared wooden sticks and cotton.
"My husband is going to perform a fire swallowing performance."
Xie Zhao was afraid that Jiang Yuzhu didn't understand, so he briefly explained the principle.
At least, for ordinary people, it is more interesting than the common stone-breaking chest attack.
Jiang Yuzhu immediately joined in, shouting, "Look, look, my husband is swallowing fire. There's only one of his kind in the capital, and you won't find it again after this!"
After the shouting, the people passing by were curious and quickly surrounded the couple.
"I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue off, but how can I swallow fire?"
"That's right, aren't you afraid of burning your tongue?"
Amidst everyone's incredulous gazes, Xie Zhao calmly lit the torch and then put it in his mouth.
"Ah, you didn't get burned to death?"
The people gasped and waited for a long time but Xie Zhao didn't show any sign of jumping up and down.
"My fellow villagers, those who have money can show their support with money, and those who don't can show their support with their presence!"
Jiang Yuzhu carried the bathtub, and the people threw copper coins into it. In an instant, the huge bathtub was filled with water.
“Come again, come again, it’s so beautiful!”
Everyone applauded, and Xie Zhao mastered the rhythm and performed again.
Jiang Yuzhu appeared very calm throughout the whole process.
What Xie Zhao used was just a trivial trick. He covered the cotton with white wine mixed with water. After the torch was lit, the alcohol attached to the outermost layer burned, and the water vaporized and took away the heat of the flame.
After the flame enters the body, it is temporarily extinguished due to insufficient oxygen supply, so it will not cause any harm.
The people did not understand this principle and treated Xie Zhao as a god.
Some who had seen it stayed put and were reluctant to leave, while others called their friends and ran to tell others: "Go and see! The dog-headed couple's fire-eating performance is an eye-opener!"
