Gulp--
The bottom of the pot was placed inside, and the boiling water slowly dispersed. A rich fragrance floated up.
"Gulp-smells so good."
Ying Zimo swallowed his saliva.
This iron pot was specially made. It was really too inconvenient to use a cauldron.
But that was not the key.
The most important part of hotpot was, of course, the bottom of the pot!
The hotpot base rewarded by the system was really authentic, fragrant and spicy.
There were no chili peppers in the State of Qin, so it was not easy to eat such a hot pot!
"Cough, cough. It's a little choking, but it tastes delicious.”
Gongshu Youlan coughed twice.
Because she had been sick all this time, she did not have a good appetite.
However, when he smelled this scent, he actually felt like he was hungry!
"Brother Zimo, is this beef?”Gongshu Youlan asked.
"Yes, they were just slaughtered today. They're very fresh.”
"Didn't Qin Lv say that beef is not allowed? It's not good for us to be like this, right?"
"Don't worry, this is a cow that was injured a few days ago. It won't be able to farm in the future.”
Ying Zimo placed the sliced meat into the pot and rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
The pigs hadn't been fanned yet, so they had a strong fishy smell. Therefore, Ying Zimo set his sights on the cows.
However, in this era, cows were important tools of production. Killing them at will was a serious crime, unless they were accidentally injured.
Even for nobles, beef was not something they could eat whenever they wanted.
After waiting for a long time, an injured cow finally reported.
"Poor Niuniu, I will enjoy you.”
Ying Zimo scooped up the meat.
However, she didn't eat it herself. Instead, she placed it in the bowls of Gongsun Youlan and Wang Chunxu.
Then, he took out a few cans of iced cola from the small cloth bag.
"Try it quickly. It's even better to eat it with ice cola.”
Thank you, Zimo!"
Wang Chunxu could not wait to smell the fragrance of the hotpot.
A slice of beef entered his mouth!
He was exhilarated.
"Youlan, there's hope for your loss of appetite. It's super delicious! Try it."
Wang Chunxu fanned herself with her small hands as she greeted her best friend.
Gongshu Youlan carefully picked up the beef in her bowl.
As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt a spicy taste exploding on his taste buds.
Mixed with the fragrance of butter, the soft and tender beef was simply amazing.
Gongshu Youlan's bloodless face flushed red, and she was even sweating.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Little Lord. It's really delicious. But what's the container used to cook this beef? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"This is an iron pot. It's much more convenient than a cauldron, but it needs to be smelted to a higher temperature to make it.”
Ying Zimo said while adding some more meat.
"Could it be that Little Lord knows how to smelt iron?”
Gongshu Youlan bit her chopsticks, and her eyes lit up.
She usually looked sickly, but when it came to craftsmanship, she immediately perked up.
"This is very simple. Sister You Lan, have you realized that under the condition of sufficient oxygen, the iron ore can be smelted faster and more impurities can be refined…"
"This is also the reason why I invited Sister Youlan over. You are the descendants of Ancestral Master Lu Ban, so you must know more than me. I have many things that I want to make recently.”
Ying Zimo even took out a note from the small cloth bag.
On it was the essence of smelting iron.
"In the smelting process, we just need to add carbon powder and then use a fan to send in oxygen to increase the smelting temperature."
Her small mouth was chattering as she spoke with confidence.
One novel term after another popped out, causing Gongsun You Lan to be somewhat stunned.
However, she was extremely intelligent and could barely keep up with Ying Zimo's thoughts.
Looking at the essence of smelting iron, he immediately couldn't take his eyes off it.
As a craftsman, the Gongshu family was much more outstanding than the Mo family.
After all, the Mohist school was mainly an academic school that focused on spreading ideas. Being a craftsman and discovering the principles of nature were secondary.
On the other hand, the Gongshu family specialized in techniques and had reached the peak of craftsmanship.
The siege weapons they invented could even match up to a hundred thousand soldiers at critical moments.
Therefore, Ying Zimo didn't hide anything and directly took out the Iron Melting Essence.
"Little Lord said that Youlan has never heard of it before. Where did this essence come from? This is simply shocking."
Gongshu Youlan pouted and said in surprise.
Much of the knowledge he had just learned could be said to have subverted his understanding.
"Astonishing? Why can't I understand?"
Wang Chunxu was drowsy as she listened.
They couldn't interrupt their discussion at all.
"I copied this down. Also, I found that Great Qin's Cavalry are very unstable when riding because there are no points of force on their horses.”
"If we use this item, every soldier will be comparable to Spirit King Zhao Wuling's Hu clothes and riding archery. They will be as stable as Mount Tai on horseback! I'll name it 'stirrup'!"
Ying Zimo took out another piece of paper.
On it was a detailed drawing of the structure of the stirrups.
At this moment, the cavalrymen could only use their legs to clamp the horse's back.
To maintain stability, he could only rely on familiarizing himself with the colt and practicing his riding skills.
This was also the main reason why the Xiongnu people came and went like the wind, but the Qin cavalry could not completely destroy them.
After all, the Xiongnu had grown up on horseback. How could ordinary cavalry win?
But with the stirrups, the situation would be completely reversed.
A large part of the reason why the Han Dynasty could defeat the Xiongnu was because of the birth of the stirrups.
This picture instantly attracted Wang Chunxu's attention, and even the beef no longer smelled good.
It was as if he had discovered a new continent!
"Stirrup?"
Wang Chunxu had liked to wield knives and spears since she was young, especially riding horses.
Unfortunately, the pony that her grandfather, Wang Jian, had given her ran too fast, and she fell off easily.
If it was matched with stirrups…
"Little Lord, can you lend me these two paintings?”
Gongshu Youlan pursed her lips and asked.
She was too curious.
"Of course, there's no problem. I'll give them all to you. I hope Sister Youlan can go back and pass on the message to Uncle Gongshu. I hope that the Gongshu family can come and help me realize the mass production of the iron smelting technique and stirrups as soon as possible.”
Ying Zimo generously stuffed both maps into Gongshu Youlan's hands.
Asking the Gongshu family for help was also his goal.
"Thank you, Little Lord. I will go back and tell my father.”
Gongshu Youlan said solemnly.
"Youlan, make me a pair of stirrers and let me try it first.”
"That won't do. Of course, I have to show it to Little Lord first before I can bring it to you.”
Gongshu Youlan said as she secretly looked up.
On the opposite side, Ying Zimo was blowing on the beef and eating it in one bite. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.
Little Lord was really different from what she had imagined.
Moreover, why did she look so cute?
For some reason, Gongshu Youlan stretched out her hand.
Ying Zimo was eating meat. Suddenly, he sensed a fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, as well as a soft and warm touch.
？？
His face was grabbed?
Before he could speak, Gongshu Youlan blushed first. When she realized that her actions were very rude, she hurriedly pulled her hand back.
"Little Lord, Youlan didn't do it on purpose."
His voice was like a mosquito, almost inaudible.
Wang Chunxu cried out that it was unfair. Her resentful eyes were filled with eagerness.
Ying Zimo was speechless.
Damn it.
Why did every young lady start to imitate Sister Yin Man?
I'm a damned person who's loved by everyone!
