Chapter 135 Please have mercy, my husband
The key to granulating gunpowder is actually very simple, which is to rub it with egg white.

The information revealed is worthless.

If Liu Hui Niang had not been told about the granulation of powdered gunpowder, she would never have found the most perfect form of black powder even if she had spent her whole life trying.

Knowledge is priceless!

It's normal to spend a lifetime to repay it!

Liu Hui Niang is not a little girl who knows nothing. She has read a lot of books and is more mature than her peers.

She had no choice but to become the fiancée of Yunlong of Fengyunzhuang at the behest of the matchmaker and her parents.

It’s different now, she can control her own destiny.

Because she really just wants to do explosion art!

As long as she marries Cao Jie, the mountain husband, she will be able to use all the resources of Liangshan.

To exchange a mere flesh and blood for a future that one has never imagined in this life, this deal is simply too good to be true.

"Ninety percent of relationships in the world are nothing more than an exchange of mutual interests." This statement may make people feel uncomfortable, but can we find a deep human wisdom behind it? Are these relationships really just cold transactions? Or are there more complex emotions and survival wisdom operating behind them?
The people of Jianghu were not fussy about trivial matters and they sent Liu Hui Niang to the bridal chamber in a simple sedan chair.

The General Examination of the Five Rites says that since the Later Qi Dynasty, regardless of whether it was the emperor or the common people, the wedding ceremony was “first called Nacai, second called Xiangming, third called Naji, fourth called Nazheng, fifth called Qingqi, and sixth called Qinying.”

These are the six stages of ancient weddings, commonly known as the "Six Rites."

But this is the gift of marrying a wife.

As for taking a concubine, it is naturally much simpler.

As simple as carrying it through the door.

On Liangshan Mountain, red flags were flying and gongs and drums were beating. Although the eldest brother was not getting married but only taking a concubine, there was still all the necessary excitement and it was even more joyful than the New Year.

After drinking a little wine, Cao Jie was in high spirits.

Getting ready to paint the kids' bedroom.

In the bridal chamber, Liu Hui Niang wore a phoenix crown and a wedding dress. Cao Jie took off the red veil, revealing a cunning smile.

In a short while, everything here depends on LSP's association.

"Please have mercy on me, sir...ah!"

The wedding candles burned quietly, the candlelight swayed slightly, and drops of bright red candle tears slowly fell down.

Led by Ruan Xiaoqi, several brave men tiptoed to eavesdrop around the corner. Suddenly, they found a cloud of white mist spreading from the room and were immediately startled.

Knowing that it was their brother who had used the Six Desire Pearls, they did not dare to stay and dispersed in a swarm.

Otherwise you will fall into an illusion and end up making a fool of yourself.

In the Juyi Hall, Chao Gai was persuading Liu Guang, his cheap father-in-law, to drink.

"I say, you, Liu Zhubu... why are you still nostalgic for your ninth-rank official position? Is my brother not worthy of your daughter? You have to drink this wine whether you want to or not."

Liu Guang took a sip and said with a wry smile, "Please forgive me, my Lord. I can't handle the alcohol."

"I think you are not willing to accept my toast." Chao Gai slammed the table and sneered, "You are afraid that the imperial court will send troops to suppress Liangshan and implicate your Liu family!"

"I didn't mean that!"

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Liu Guang immediately shook his head.

"Hehe, now you have no choice but to live and die with me in Liangshan. I think you three should drink this wine! Today is a big day for your Liu family. Who are you showing your bitter face to?"

Seeing that Chao Gai was a little angry, Wu Yong stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liu, congratulations on finding a good son-in-law!"

Everyone urged others to drink a cup, and finally Liu Guang, his father and his two sons, fell down.

After one time, the moon was already above the willow branches.

Plum Blossom Second Round, at midnight, the noisy sounds of people playing finger-guessing games and drinking could still be heard from the Juyi Hall.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Liu Hui Niang got up and got dressed.

"Why are you getting up so early?" Cao Jie asked. Liu Hui Niang frowned slightly with a lingering charm and said, "We still have to experiment with gunpowder today! I'll go early..."

Cao Jie reached out and pulled her over, touching her all over.

"You are born in the Year of the Dog! You can't eat enough!"

"How can I be enough with you!"

Finally, she couldn't get out of bed.

As the saying goes, there are only old cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are damaged by plowing!
That also depends on one's strength. Cao Jie is firing on all cylinders and has the talent of [Cao Zei], so he can plow the field all night long. He has a diesel engine and won't get tired.

The next morning, Liu Hui Niang shook her head and said, "Husband, today's gunpowder experiment really can't be delayed any longer."

"We're newlyweds, why do you think about your firearm all day long? Is my firearm not big enough?"

"Woo!"

Day three.

"No more!"

"Tomorrow, I will take you to see the Liangshan Steel Forging Workshop. If the steel quality is up to standard, not only will your arquebus be made, but you can also try to cast a cannon..."

Liangshan is rich in hydropower resources and has unique geographical conditions.

But building a hydraulic forging workshop is not easy.

It took a year and a lot of money to hire craftsmen from all over the place to finally build the workshop.

At this moment, in a hidden valley in Liangshan, a large chimney was spewing out thick black smoke all day and all night.

The rumbling sound of forging continued throughout the night.

Seeing the water hammer, Liu Hui Niang, who had a slightly awkward walking posture, became very happy and started jumping up and down.

"Boom boom boom..."

The huge hydraulic forging hammer hit the red-hot iron block again and again, sparks flying everywhere.

After the iron block gradually darkens in color and cools down, a group of strong blacksmiths use huge clamps to put the hundreds of pounds of iron block back onto the iron pulley and push it into the furnace to continue calcining.

"elder brother!"

The master craftsman who was forging the steel billet called out to Cao Jie and then continued to forge with the water hammer.

"Brother...Brother..." Several rough voices sounded one after another.

"Good job, brothers!"

"Not bitter!" A young boy waved a shovel and sent coke into the blast furnace. His face was dark, but he grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Brother, I have recently made a batch of refined steel knives and chain mail. Would you like to see them?"

"Leopard" Tang Long appeared from nowhere, with his chest bare. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his chin and slid down his dark skin.

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

In a warehouse not far away, Tang Long lifted the oil paper, revealing a dense array of steel knives.

Cao Jie picked up a bite at random and shook it slightly, which produced a series of crisp sounds that echoed in the air for a long time.

"when!"

Liu Hui Niang also picked up a steel knife, bent her jade fingers and flicked the blade, and said happily: "Good knife, good steel, it can be said to be a divine weapon. My husband, it seems that my musket is done!"
