Xie Shuyan's shouts were quite loud.
General Cui and Yang Zhao were finally brought back to their senses by his call.
The two looked at Tian Guoguo in disbelief and asked, "It's done?"
Before Tian Guoguo could answer…
Xie Shuyan replied first, "It's done, it's done!"
I have to ask again, "Isn't my wife amazing?"
General Cui and Yang Zhao were both pleasantly surprised, and upon hearing his words, they both agreed, "Amazing, amazing! Your wife is the most amazing!"
Tian Guoguo…
She enjoys being flattered, but this round of flattery...
Is something off?
Never mind, business is more important.
Tian Guoguo coughed like a little adult, "Now that it's done, we have to... protect this place!"
General Cui also thought of this.
He immediately ordered Yang Zhao to go back and dispatch several personal guards, and at the same time asked Guo Guo, "Can we mass-produce them using the method we just used?"
Tian Guoguo nodded, "Yes."
She continued, "But if Uncle Cui wants to...use it on the battlefield...then he can't just use...bamboo tubes, but...thin tin tubes!"
General Cui was somewhat puzzled.
"You mean, a tube made of sheet metal?"
Tian Guoguo: "Yes."
But there were requirements for this thin iron tube. She wanted General Cui to carry her back first, and then she would explain in detail to him for him to record.
Otherwise, she feared that General Cui would forget what she said the moment she finished speaking!
It wasn't that she thought General Cui was stupid.
However, this involves a lot of data, which cannot be memorized after just one listen.
General Cui had also intended to record it, and upon hearing this, he agreed.
The Tian family.
When they returned, neither Tian Lao Er nor Tian Lao Si, nor Tian Yiming and Tian Yixuan were home.
The pig offal was still simmering in the kitchen.
But no villagers came to buy anything from the courtyard!
Curious, Tian Guoguo first asked General Cui to carry her to the kitchen to ask her grandmother, "Grandma, where are Second Uncle and the others...?"
The old lady was preparing dinner with her daughters-in-law.
Hearing her beloved granddaughter's voice, she immediately looked up.
"The General and Guoguo are back!"
"Come on in, everyone, come inside quickly. The kang (heated brick bed) inside is so warm!"
After inviting them inside, the old lady answered Guoguo's question, "Your second uncle and the others went out to sell pig offal!"
Originally, the Tian family sold their pig offal in their yard.
However, after learning what General Cui was going to do, the old lady thought it over and over and decided that she could no longer sell at home!
Leaving aside other things.
What if they bring back something when they come back, and it gets discovered because there are so many people in the yard?
So she sent her second son and the others out to sell things on the street today!
General Cui was grateful for the old lady's thoughtful consideration and hurriedly wanted to thank her...
The old lady stopped him in time, saying, "The general is just being polite to an old woman!"
When it comes to gratitude, they should be the ones thanking him.
But there were still dishes being cooked in the kitchen, so the old lady asked Guoguo and Shuyan to chat with General Cui for a while, as she still had to continue cooking!
Let's talk about it tonight.
As soon as the old lady left, Tian Guoguo ran to the next room next door to find her older and second older brothers and borrow paper and pen from them.
Tian Yihong only woke up in the morning and is still a little weak, so he has been staying in the room.
Tian Yifan didn't have much to do, so he just sat next to him while he read, and the two would occasionally chat about the contents of the book.
Both of them were surprised when their younger sister asked for paper and pen.
My sister can't write, what does she need this for?
Tian Guoguo couldn't explain it to them, so she just said it was what General Cui wanted.
Upon hearing this, the two then gave it to her.
But Tian Yifan wanted to come along to take a look, but Tian Guoguo stopped him, "Big brother... watch over second brother, don't run around!"
As she spoke, she winked at Tian Yihong.
Tian Yihong knew some of his sister's little secrets. When he saw her wink at him, he immediately understood what was going on and called out to Tian Yifan.
"Brother, I don't quite understand this."
Okay, Tian Yifan was successfully kept on.
Tian Guoguo ran back as fast as she could with her short legs and handed the paper and pen to General Cui, then began to describe the dimensions of the thin iron tube.
She carefully explained the proportions of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal for different sizes.
Then, he explained how to make a fuse.
General Cui wrote it all down.
Tian Guoguo thought of another problem, "Remember not to let it touch fire, and make sure the iron tube is sealed tightly to prevent it from getting wet!"
Speaking of waterproofing…
Tian Guoguo suddenly said, "Wait!"
Her original intention in making homemade grenades was to make the kind of hand grenades that don't need to be ignited, so how did it end up being made into firecrackers?
She hurriedly asked General Cui to use a spare sheet of paper to write.
She changed the firecrackers that required fuses to bamboo tubes, and also explained the different amounts of bamboo tubes needed.
Then, they modified the metal tube into a hand grenade.
The principle of a hand grenade is to use a rotating firing pin inside the safety lever to generate sparks, which then detonate it.
However, this method is somewhat complicated.
Moreover, the size of the iron cylinder also requires strict data!
Tian Guoguo gave a general idea, but she asked General Cui to make one first to test it out. If it worked, they would mass-produce it.
General Cui took notes and responded as he went.
After they finished writing, Grandma Tian had already prepared dinner.
Tian Lao Er and the others also returned from outside.
Accompanying them were several of General Cui's personal guards, who pulled two carriages behind them.
Several wild boars were placed on each carriage.
This is the wild boar that General Cui encountered yesterday when he went to the deep forest to rescue Guoguo.
He originally had his personal guards bring them back.
As it turned out, the guards did bring it back, but they took it back to the general's mansion.
General Cui was in such a hurry to get back that he didn't notice anything until he arrived at the General's Mansion, but he was too busy to send anyone to escort him.
I only remembered this when I arrived at the Tian family's house today.
He then ordered his guards to go back and bring them all back.
The Tian family was astonished to see so many wild boars, and even Ding Zhaodi, who was still working, was dumbfounded.
General Cui also saw Ding Zhaodi.
Seeing that it was getting late, General Cui told Ding Zhaodi to go back first and come back to work tomorrow.
Ding Zhaodi isn't stupid.
General Cui was clearly saying something to the Tian family, but he didn't want her to hear it.
She verbally agreed, but went straight to the back of the Tian family's house after leaving the house.
General Cui recounted the process of catching the wild boar to the Tian family, but he did not mention that Xie Shuyan had given him saltpeter; he only said that Xie Shuyan had also contributed to catching the wild boar.
He said that half of the pig should be given to Xie Shuyan.
The Tian family had no objections.
Just thinking about Xie Shuyan's mother made everyone frown.
Everyone in the village knew that Ding Zhaodi treated Xie Shuyan badly.
If the pigs are given to the Xie family, Xie Shuyan probably won't get any benefit at all.
General Cui also thought of this.
But he first asked the Tian family how they planned to deal with the wild boars.
Grandma Tian wanted to braise all the pig offal and sell all the pork.
General Cui said, "Then we'll trouble our family to sell all the pork and give half of the money to Shuyan, but we'll keep it for him until he grows up."
"We'll give it to him when he grows up!"
"As for the pig offal, Shuyan doesn't need it. Consider it compensation for our family's hard work in keeping his money safe and selling the wild boar..."
"Is it alright?"
As he spoke, he looked at the Tian family and then at Xie Shuyan.
The Tian family naturally had no objections, but Xie Shuyan did!
