Chapter 9 The Shock of Grenade
As an old drunkard, Wang Jian knew that Zhao Yi's wine must be a strong and good wine as soon as he smelled it.
Even the imperial wine in the palace doesn’t smell this good.
You can smell its intensity.
Even the strong liquor Daozishao from the northwest is not as strong as it.
Wang Jian immediately drank the lemon tea in the cup in one gulp and then poured wine into it.
However, he did not forget to pour wine for His Majesty and Zhang Han.
And Zhao Yi naturally can't drink alcohol.
He is only three years old. Drinking will affect his physical development.
Wang Jian picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
strength!
It was the strongest drink he had ever had in his life.
Wang Jian felt that after tasting this wine, the wine he drank before tasted as bland as water.
Ying Zheng and Zhang Han on the side also tried a sip of the wine.
I was also impressed by the strong liquor.
Now Ying Zheng and the other two really think that this dish and this wine are excellent!
It is indeed better than the one in the palace.
The three of them took a sip of wine and ate a bite of hot pot food.
We enjoyed the meal very much.
……
Soon, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
While picking his teeth, Ying Zheng said, "The food in your village is pretty good. Can you help ask the cook if he's interested in working in my restaurant? The salary is very high."
Ying Zheng came up with the idea of bringing the chef into the palace so that he could eat hot pot every day.
But Zhao Yi didn't want to give up the chef he had trained with great effort to his scumbag father.
Training a chef takes a lot of effort.
You also need to teach how to control the heat and stir the wok.
What will I eat if my scumbag dad takes the cook away?
Zhao Yi replied perfunctorily: "I'll ask for you. But the hope is not great."
"Then can you ask him to hand over the recipe for this hot pot? I will pay for it."
Zhao Yi reminded: "This can also be sold, but eating hot pot once or twice is fine, but eating too much is unhealthy."
He was worried that his scumbag father would go home and eat too much hotpot, and then have health problems.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he gave up the idea of eating hotpot every day.
Wang Jian on the side interrupted and asked, "Does your village also sell this wine?"
"Sell! But Lao Wang, I suggest you drink less. Drinking too much is bad for your health." Zhao Yi reminded.
Wang Jian scratched his head and said, "I know, I know."
Zhao Yi stood up and took out a pen and some paper from the cabinet next to him.
"Now that we're done eating, let's lay out the deals we want to make and negotiate the prices. That way we can do business."
Ying Zheng took the paper and looked at it carefully, then asked, "What is this?"
"Paper."
He didn't care about the buying and selling price Zhao Yi mentioned.
For Ying Zheng, money is not a problem.
How could he, the great Emperor of Qin, be without money?
He would accept any price Zhao Yi offered.
Instead, I am more interested in the paper in my hand.
Wang Jian and Zhang Han standing by may not be able to see the meaning of this paper, but Ying Zheng, as the emperor, certainly can see it.
This is a new writing material.
If this paper is easy to manufacture and has low cost, it will be of great significance to Daqin.
You should know that there are only three kinds of writing materials commonly used in Daqin.
Bamboo pieces, textiles like silk, and animal skins like sheepskin.
Bamboo slips made of bamboo strips are cheaper, but they are bulky, take up space, and are difficult to transport.
Textiles such as silk and animal skins such as sheepskin are easy to write on and take up little space, but they are expensive.
Therefore, only important matters would be recorded using silk or sheepskin.
The rest were recorded on bamboo slips.
This resulted in the need to build several warehouses every year to store the annual government documents in various places. If this paper was cheap to make, it would be a perfect writing material!
Can completely replace the above three writing materials!
Ying Zheng waved the paper in his hand and asked, "Is this paper cheap? Can I sell it?"
Zhao Yi asked this question when he saw his scumbag father.
Then I knew that my scumbag father saw the value of paper in this era.
It seems that the scumbag dad does have some business acumen.
Zhao Yi replied: "The production cost of this paper is quite cheap. As for the production method, as long as the price is right, it's easy to discuss."
The reason why Zhao Yi was willing to sell the production methods of paper, white wine and curved plow to his scumbag father so readily.
Because the things he sells are relatively unimportant.
These things can either improve social survival or promote the spread of information.
Zhao Yi will not sell the production methods of the really key things, such as cement and metal forging technology.
These are things that will change the combat effectiveness of the army.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately responded: "I'll buy it!"
He felt that good things had been happening one after another since he met Zhao.
……
Zhao Yi quickly negotiated the deal with Ying Zheng.
Because Ying Zheng never bargained.
Zhao Yi earned 20,000 coins through the deal.
This transaction amount is equivalent to several small goals if calculated in modern times.
In addition, the 20,000 yuan for listing the currency is only the cost price, and the scumbag dad will have to pay one-third of the dividend every year in the future.
Zhao Yi immediately felt that he had made a profit.
From Ying Zheng's point of view, getting so many good things with only 20,000 coins is like picking them up for free.
As for one third of the dividends, it was nothing to Ying Zheng.
Both parties to the transaction felt that they had made a profit.
After finishing the transaction, Zhao Yi took Ying Zheng and the other two to a small open space.
He wanted to let his jerk father know that he had the weapons to defeat the Qin army.
This is the only way to keep the scumbag dad's idea of rebellion going.
At the same time, it can also deter the scumbag father and let him know that the village also has fighting power.
To prevent my scumbag dad from getting blinded by money and having evil intentions to harm the villagers.
And this weapon is a homemade grenade!
When Ying Zheng and the other two saw Zhao Yi take out a black ball, they said that this black ball was called a grenade.
It can defeat the Qin cavalry.
If it were yesterday's Ying Zheng and Wang Jian, they would definitely not believe such words, and would think that the person who said such words had a problem with his brain.
But after the continuous surprises brought by Zhao Yi today.
Now Ying Zheng and Wang Jian really believe that this black ball called a grenade may be able to defeat the Qin cavalry.
Because he is Zhao Yi!
Zhao Yi carefully explained to Zhang Han how to use the grenades.
"Have you learned how to use grenades?" Zhao Yi asked for the last time.
Zhang Han nodded and replied, "I have learned how to use it."
"Okay! Then light it and throw it into the woods over there!" Zhao Yi said while pointing to the woods more than 20 meters away.
Zhang Han followed instructions, lit the grenade and threw it accurately into the woods, then he hid in a bunker nearby.
Five seconds later.
Boom!
The grenade exploded.
When Ying Zheng and the other two heard the sound, they thought it was thunder.
They came out of the bunker and took a look.
It was found that most of the tree trunks within five meters of the grenade landing point were penetrated and blown up by the grenade's explosion fragments.
Ying Zheng and the other two were frightened.
This grenade actually has such power!
