The happy life of a prodigal

You know, it is already May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, even the wind that blows is carrying heat.

The young master actually made ice from water and stones.

Even if it's just smoothies, in their eyes, it's already like a miracle.

Water and stones are such ordinary things, why did they turn into ice in the young master's hands?

Bai Xiaochun and Zhao Hao, especially Bai Xiaochun, really feel that their young master...is a fairy!

Zhao Hao felt his mind was in a mess.

He already knew that his master was not very human.

But at this moment, his cognition was overturned. Could it be... Master is a fairy?

This thought only appeared for a moment.

Zhao Hao does not believe that there are immortals in the world.

He once heard his father say that his imperial grandfather was immersed in the illusory immortal way, which caused the people to live in poverty, and the people's life was worse than that of pigs and dogs.

Although he didn't understand the meaning behind the words "people's lives are not living well", he knew that this was not good.

Therefore, he hates immortality.

Even if there are immortals in this world, he doesn't like them.

Suddenly, he remembered that the master had just told him that he wanted to teach him the principles of everything in the world.

Could it be... this is the truth of everything in the world?

Looking at the smoothie in the basin, he thought about it, and asked, "Master, water and stones can be made into ice. Is this the principle of all things in the world?"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at him with a hint of surprise.

This apprentice of mine...has extraordinary comprehension!

"That's right, everything in the world has a reason. Water and stones can be made into ice, which may seem like a miracle in the eyes of ordinary people.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that after the stone enters the water and merges with it, it will absorb heat, so the temperature of the water will drop, and the temperature will drop, and the water will condense into ice.

This... is the principle of making ice from water and stone, and it is also the principle of all things in the world.

For the teacher call it...physics. "

Zhao Hao listened very carefully, and after listening, he bowed respectfully to Fang Xiu: "Disciple, thank Master for clarifying the confusion."

Master's words were too profound, and he couldn't understand them for a while.

Looking at the smoothie in the basin, he fell into deep thought.

It turns out... ice and stones can be made into ice.

Chapter 1 Thirteen Mung Bean Smoothie

physics......

After a long time, Zhao Hao raised his eyes, looked at his master, and asked, "Master, can everything in the world be explained by physics?"

Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and said: "What the teacher taught you is only physics, and you need to understand the rest by yourself."

Remember, the physics teacher in the high school in my previous life once said that physics is also the truth of enlightenment.

There is a reason for the existence of everything in the world, whether it can be explained clearly by physics, the scientists on the earth are not yet conclusive, let alone him.

Therefore, what Fang Xiu can teach this little boy is to comprehend with a scientific perspective, and the rest depends on his own understanding.

Zhao Hao looked at his master, then at the smoothie in the basin, obviously he didn't understand what Fang Xiu meant.

Fang Xiu no longer put on an air of superiority, but excitedly ordered Bai Xiaochun to go to the back kitchen to make some mung bean soup.

Mung bean soup is a common heat-relieving food in Chu country. Under the scorching heat of July, it can effectively prevent heat stroke, but the taste is slightly worse.

"Master..."

After a while, Bai Xiaochun brought over a bowl of mung bean soup, which was still steaming, obviously the kitchen had just cooked it.

Fang Xiu reached out to take it, took another larger bowl, poured the smoothie made of saltpeter, and then poured in the freshly cooked mung bean soup.

In no time, a bowl of mung bean smoothie is ready.

Fang Xiu couldn't wait to take a sip, his eyes lit up immediately.

Although the taste is not as good as the various smoothies on the earth, it is already considered delicious in this ancient time when productivity was backward.

Especially now that the sun has risen, the air is filled with a dry and hot atmosphere. A bowl of cold mung bean smoothie is simply refreshing, making people feel extremely comfortable all over.

On the side, seeing this scene, Bai Xiaochun knew that the young master was tinkering with some novelties again.

Just like the hot pot before, although he only ate it a few times and it was hot summer, he still had a deep memory of the delicious taste.

I look forward to the early passing of summer all day long, so that I can eat hot hot pot again.

At this moment, looking at the cold mung bean smoothie, although he didn't know what it tasted like, he still swallowed a few times involuntarily.

Fang Xiu took a few more sips, then handed the mung bean smoothie to his apprentice: "Try the mung bean smoothie made by me."

Green bean smoothie?

Zhao Hao was slightly taken aback.

In fact, compared with children of the same age, he is not so greedy.

One is because he was born in the royal family, he has tasted most of the world's delicacies, and nothing can arouse his interest.

The second is due to her natural personality, she is only curious about the novelties described in the book.

But when he saw the mung bean smoothie in Master's hand, for some reason, he swallowed involuntarily.

"Thank you Master."

Can't wait to take a sip, Zhao Hao's bright eyes flickered, and he swallowed a small bowl of mung bean smoothie in two or three mouthfuls.

Then, still a little unfinished, he looked at the bowl, then at his master, and blinked.

When Bai Xiaochun saw this scene, regret appeared on his face.

Hey, after all, I still haven't been able to taste what it tastes like.

Seeing them like this, Fang Xiu smiled.

After laughing, he seemed to think of something again, looked at the empty bowl, and fell into silence.

After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and ordered: "These days, go buy some more saltpeter, the more the better, put them in the factory in the suburbs, find some trustworthy guys, and teach them how to make ice. .”

How to make ice?

Bai Xiaochun was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood.

It turns out that the ice making is due to saltpeter.

Originally...he thought it was because of the young master.

"Yes, sir."

Nodding respectfully, Bai Xiaochun immediately went out to work.

By the young master's side, he sees some things much more thoroughly than before.

Although I haven't tasted what this mung bean smoothie tastes like, but judging by Mr. Zhao's expression, it is absolutely delicious.

He used to drink several bowls of mung bean soup a day when it was hot. Although it has the effect of cooling and relieving heat, the taste and taste are much worse.

So the key to this mung bean smoothie has to be the ice.

As long as there is a way to make ice, there is a way to make mung bean smoothie.

Summer is here, although it is not yet hot, but it will be almost the next few days. When the time comes, selling this mung bean smoothie in Chunfeng Building will not attract diners' heads.

Even if you don't sell mung bean smoothies, but only sell ice, I'm afraid there will be countless dignitaries queuing up to fight for it.

The task the young master entrusted to him was not to buy saltpeter, nor to recruit buddies, but to bring back countless silver!

With such thoughts in mind, Bai Xiaochun left.

In the yard, Fang Xiu started his experiment again.

Now it's just smoothies, his goal is to make ice.

Smoothies can only be used to satisfy cravings, but ice can be used in many ways.

Not to mention anything else, on a scorching summer day, it would be so comfortable to pile a few basins of ice cubes in the yard and let the breeze blow.

Zhao Hao watched Fang Xiu busy in front of the iron basin, remained silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, and asked again: "Master, even if ice is really made from stones and water, what's the use?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and said angrily: "Of course it is to cool down. In a few days, the weather will become hotter. Without ice, how can we stand it?"

Zhao Hao thought for a while and said, "But ice doesn't have to be made of stone and water. You just need to dig a cellar to store the ice in winter and use it when the heat is unbearable."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, stopped what he was doing, looked at Zhao Hao, and stopped talking.

Seeing Master like this, Zhao Hao thought he had made some mistake, subconsciously lowered his head.

After a long time, Fang Xiu sighed.

Perhaps, this is called why not eat minced meat.

Although studying the method of making ice was only for himself, he suddenly felt something when he heard what his apprentice said, and said, "You are right, the ice cellar can indeed store ice."

Hearing the master said that he was right, Zhao Hao raised his head, looked at him, and asked in bewilderment: "Since the disciple is not wrong, why is the master frowning?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and said earnestly: "You are right, but have you ever thought about how many people in this world can afford an ice cellar?

Not to mention the ice cellar, even mung bean soup, which is very common in your eyes and mine, is an extremely rare thing to relieve the heat in the eyes of many people. "

Mung bean soup...extremely rare?

Zhao Hao obviously didn't expect his master to say such a thing, and he looked puzzled.

Does anyone in the world really think mung bean soup is a rare thing?

This is very incomprehensible in the eyes of Zhao Hao, who has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child.

Fang Xiu saw his expression, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know that even in the capital, there are many people who are not fully clothed, not to mention mung bean soup, even a bite of life-saving steamed buns is a luxury. "

Zhao Hao shook his head lightly, and whispered: "I don't know..."

Chapter 1 Relief of the People

Not to mention Zhao Hao, even the former Fang Xiu, how can he understand the sufferings of the world?

Even if you understand, what's the point if you don't experience it yourself?

For some reason, Fang Xiu suddenly remembered that when he persuaded Zhao Yi to pretend to be a white-clothed female ghost with him, he had promised her that he would give half of the silver to help the poor people.

Since Zhao Yi left, because he was dragged by the dog emperor to be a general of the Habayashi guard Zuo Zhonglang, and he had to take care of the business of Chunfenglou, Zhuxuanzhai and the Beijing Normal University Theater, he gradually forgot about it.

It just so happened that this time, being able to work with my apprentice was to fulfill my promise.

Thinking of Zhao Yi, Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Hao and felt that the two of them looked alike.

Not to mention, both of them have the surname Zhao, and they both like to run away from home. Although they don't have the same temper, they might be a family.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Hao'er, do you know a sister named Zhao Yi?"

Hearing Master's words, Zhao Hao raised his head abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief, and asked in surprise, "Master, do you know my sister?"

"..."

Fang Xiu was even more surprised than him.

I just asked casually, I didn't expect...it's true!

This is too coincidental.

But yes, the emperor has always been jealous of his clan, and there are not many princes staying in the capital.

Since the two were surnamed Zhao, and both came from Xungui, it happened to be a family, so it was not so unbelievable.

"Master and your sister are half friends..."

Fang Xiu smiled and said.

Hearing that his master was actually friends with his sister, Zhao Hao's delicate face became even more excited.
