Chapter 470: Hand Rubbing Cannon
Jiangnan Ironware Shop, located in the south of Jiangnan City, is the largest ironware shop in the entire Jiangnan area.
When Gu Chan followed Wan Peng in the carriage, she was stunned as soon as she got off the carriage and reached the door of the shop.
The two men who were supporting her looked confused and couldn't understand why she suddenly stopped going in.
Wan Peng said confused, "What's wrong? Everyone is waiting for you inside! Why don't you go inside?"
"Why is the owner of this shop also named Gu? Otherwise, why would there be a big word "Gu" engraved on the plaque above the door?" Gu Chan looked up at the plaque on the door and said.
"Hey! I really don't care about this. Maybe the shopkeeper has the same surname as you!" Wan Peng said.
Gu Chan said angrily, "Didn't you take over this shop? Why haven't you seen their shopkeeper?"
"No! When I took over the shop, their shopkeeper happened to be He went out of town and just came back today. No, he gathered everyone here to wait for you as soon as he came back!" Wan Peng explained.
Gu Chan nodded in relief, thinking that maybe the owner of this shop had the same surname as hers, and they could be considered the same family.
With this in mind, she said no more and immediately went into the shop with Wan Peng supported by two of her men.
Soon the four of them arrived on the third floor.
At this time, the entire lobby on the third floor was already full of people. Everyone was sitting in a circle, and in the circle were the iron objects that Gu Chan had drawn on the previous drawing.
When everyone saw Wan Peng coming, they stood up and saluted and said hello.
Wan Peng ordered two of his men to help Gu Chan sit on the front seat and introduced to everyone, "Everyone, this is Gu Chan, the shopkeeper from the north. In fact, he is taking over our shop this time. Not me, but him.”
"Why is he a child!"
"Yes! This young master is so rich."
"Not only is he rich, but the weapons he makes are also very strange. It’s really strange.”
When the shopkeepers saw that Gu Chan was a child, they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
Obviously, from the beginning, they never thought that the boss behind this was just such a young brat.
Just when everyone was surprised, a young man in black who was sitting opposite Gu Chan suddenly stood up and walked to her. Then he bowed to Gu Chan with great respect in front of everyone. A big gift.
Everyone was instantly confused and all of them were confused.
Wan Peng was also dumbfounded and said quickly, "You should be the shopkeeper of Jiangnan Iron Factory! What do you mean by this?"
"Young Master, this gift from me is a thank you. The shopkeeper thanked me for saving my life." The young man straightened up and said.
Gu Chan stared at him and asked, "When did I save you?"
"You have forgotten that in Zhongyuan City, you not only rescued us, but also escorted us out of the city overnight and gave us a lot of money. Without you, I would not have come to Jiangnan to open such an iron shop! So the door I have engraved your benefactor’s surname on the plaque on my head to remind me that I will never forget my benefactor’s life-saving grace!” the young man said solemnly.
Gu Chan suddenly sighed with relief. Then she remembered that the young man standing in front of her was one of the dozen handsome young men she had rescued in Zhongyuan City. ah! The young man said politely again, "Shopkeeper Gu, we were in such a rush that day that we didn't have time to introduce ourselves to you. Today I will add that my surname is Qin, my given name is Muyang, and I am from Dangzhou in the Central Plains. Now I can live and work in peace here in Jiangnan."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be polite. Since we are the same, it's easy to talk about anything. Please take a seat!" Gu Chan said happily.
Anyway, she never expected that the owner of the largest ironware shop in Jiangnan would be someone she had saved before.
Maybe this is the so-called, but do good deeds and don’t worry about the future!
As long as you do good things, you will be rewarded one day. Gu Chan didn't believe this before, but now she really believes it.
Qin Muyang also nodded happily and returned to his seat to sit down.
Wan Peng changed the subject at the right time, looked at the iron weapons placed in the circle and said, "Brother Gu, then tell everyone what this weapon you made is!" "
"This is called a cannon. Come on, I'll show you how to assemble it, and you can install it for me." Gu Chan said.
Then she taught everyone how to assemble the cannon.
Since this was in ancient times, the production technology was naturally a bit rough, so after spending so long, these iron shop owners only built an iron gun barrel, a gun stand, and two Iron wheel.
As long as these three things are assembled together, they can become a movable cannon.
No, after a while, everyone followed Gu Chan's instructions and hurriedly assembled the cannon.
Seeing that this thing looked decent, Gu Chan asked Wanpeng to send someone to get sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and then crushed them and mixed them together in front of everyone. Black powder was made.
Of course, in the eyes of modern people, this is a very simple thing, but in the eyes of ancient people, it was completely confusing. In fact, they had no idea what Gu Chan was doing.
Gu Chan didn't explain much. After mixing according to the proportion, she asked the shopkeepers to bring the iron cannonballs that were made like small balls. She poured all the black powder into the cannonballs, stuffed them tightly, and filled them with soil. Make a fuse with a flammable wick, and in this way, a black powder cannonball is made.
Wan Peng looked at it with confusion and said, "Brother Gu, what on earth did you do?"
"Stop asking, now push it with me to the spirit world." Jiushi, I have a friend there, and I plan to give him this newly developed weapon as a gift first," Gu Chan said with a smirk.
“Why don’t you try it first and then give it to him after you try it?” Wan Peng reminded.
Gu Chan shook his head and said, "No need, I don't know if it will work or not. Let's try it first and then decide. If it doesn't work, throw it away. If it works, give him a surprise."
"That's okay!" Wan Peng nodded and said.
After saying that, he called everyone and prepared to push the black cannon and rush to Lingjiu Temple with Gu Chan.
At this time, Gu Chan suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a strange smile, "Wait a minute, just making one of these iron cannonballs is not enough. You all should follow suit and make them one by one. If it works by then, we can give him twenty or thirty big gifts together."
"That's okay. Shopkeeper Gu's friends are our friends. It would be good for everyone to give him gifts together." Wan Peng. Attached to drink.
When the shopkeepers heard this, they thought it made sense, so they began to imitate what Gu Chan had just done, and started making cannonballs one by one.
Gu Chan suppressed her laughter and did not explain. She just found someone to buy a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal to grind and mix. The main idea was that one black powder tube would be enough, and the cannonballs would be full!
