The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1160

[Chapter 1160 Fireworks Completed]

Lin Tian was full of excitement. When he returned home with these smelted metal balls, it was already dark.

Lin Tian, who had just returned home, saw Chen Huifang waiting at the door. At this time, Chen Huifang was sitting on the threshold of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. When Chen Huifang saw Lin Tian coming back, she stood up quickly.

“Brother Lin, when did you go out? Why did you come back just now? Did you go to a private meeting with a lady from a wealthy family?”

Chen Huifang asked Lin Tian. Although Lin Tian saw Chen Huifang’s smiling face and heard a series of questions from Chen Huifang, Lin Tian felt that Chen Huifang looked so much like his wife in his previous life.

“Whose lady can I go to a private meeting with? And as the Prime Minister of Yan State, who is second only to the Prime Minister, how can I ruin my image?”

Lin Tian was afraid that he would say something wrong. If he made Chen Huifang unhappy, he would need Lin Tian to comfort her, so Lin Tian said to Chen Huifang righteously.

“Hmph, Brother Lin, where have you been? You haven’t come back for such a long time. I was so worried.”

Chen Huifang was delighted when she heard Lin Tian’s words, but she thought that Lin Tian didn’t answer her previous question, so she pretended to be a spoiled child, pulled Lin Tian’s arm, and asked Lin Tian again like a spoiled child.

“Look, I asked the blacksmith to make these things, so it took so long.”

Seeing Chen Huifang’s appearance and hearing Chen Huifang’s question, Lin Tian could only take out the metal balls wrapped in a handkerchief in his arms, opened them and stretched them in front of Chen Huifang, and said to Chen Huifang at the same time.

“What is this? Brother Lin, what is it for?”

When Chen Huifang saw these black and colorful metal balls, she stretched her neck curiously, and her body involuntarily leaned on Lin Tian’s arm, and at the same time, she asked Lin Tian.

“These are all carefully prepared by me, and they will be of great use when the time comes.”

Lin Tian said something vaguely to Chen Huifang, and then dragged Chen Huifang back to the mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Lin Tian looked at the sky and found that it was getting late. He had been busy developing gunpowder and making fireworks recently and had not had a good rest.

Lin Tian thought that the gunpowder had been successfully developed, and the materials for the fireworks were now ready. All that was left was to make them. And the making of fireworks could not be sloppy at all, so Lin Tian also wanted to have a good rest today.

Chen Huifang was usually responsible for Lin Tian’s daily meals. Originally, these were all the responsibility of the housekeeper, but since Chen Huifang came to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, this matter was all Chen Huifang’s responsibility. So, under Chen Huifang’s supervision, Lin Tian had dinner and then went to bed to rest.

The next day, Lin Tian got up early because the production of fireworks had reached the stage of loading gunpowder, which required more caution, so Lin Tian was very cautious.

Before Lin Tian conducted the experiment of fireworks, he had ground enough sulfur powder, saltpeter powder and charcoal powder, but Lin Tian did not mix the three. Because after the previous experiments, Lin Tian knew that the different proportions between the three would produce different effects.

Although Lin Tian does not need to be too strict about the proportion of the three ingredients when making fireworks, he still did not mix them. Lin Tian planned to use as much as he needed to avoid unexpected situations.

Lin Tian first filled the small bamboo tubes needed for the fireworks and put them aside for use, and then began to make fireworks.

First, all the bamboo tubes were sealed with mud, and then Lin Tian prepared gunpowder and filled all the bamboo tubes with a certain amount of gunpowder. The next step was to put the small bamboo tube with different metals upside down on the gunpowder in the bamboo tube and install the fuse.

Finally, Lin Tian filled the mouth on the bamboo tube with mud. Then Lin Tian tied the bamboo tubes together and connected the fuse on the bamboo tubes together.

Although these steps seem simple, it took a lot of time because Lin Tian needed to be particularly careful. Therefore, it took Lin Tian nearly a month to make twenty or thirty bundles of fireworks.

Moreover, Lin Tian made all these by himself, without any servants involved. Even guards Ying and Lie, who were extremely loyal to Lin Tian, were not given the job.

Because Lin Tian was not only afraid that they would spread the way to make gunpowder, but also that they were clumsy. If an accident happened without paying attention, it would be very likely that the Prime Minister’s Mansion would be blown up. At that time, I’m afraid Lin Tian would be in tears.

After Lin Tian finished making these fireworks, he cleaned up the materials on the table, and then moved all the fireworks to the table to save them to prevent them from getting damp and unable to be used, ready for use on New Year’s Day.

After doing all this, Lin Tian stretched his sore waist. Because of the excitement brought by making fireworks, Lin Tian was not tired before. Now that Lin Tian stopped, he felt sore all over.

Lin Tian stretched out of the room and saw Chen Huifang who was washing clothes. After greeting her, Lin Tian wanted to go back to his room and lie on the bed to rest.

“Brother Lin, you are out? Do you need any materials again? Tell me, I will ask someone to find them for you.”

Chen Huifang heard the sound of Lin Tian opening the door, and after seeing Lin Tian coming out of the room, she said to Lin Tian.

The reason why Chen Huifang said this was because when Lin Tian was developing gunpowder and making fireworks in the room before, every time he walked out of the room, it was because he needed some materials and asked the servants to find them.

Because Chen Huifang was outside Lin Tian’s room during the time when Lin Tian was busy in the room, as long as Lin Tian came out, she would find a chance to talk to Lin Tian, so Chen Huifang said this to Lin Tian.

“No, what I want to make is already completed, and I don’t need anything now.”

After hearing what Chen Huifang said, Lin Tian was stunned at first, and then he understood why Chen Huifang said so, so he said to Chen Huifang.

“Brother Lin, have you finished? What have you been developing during this period of time that takes so long? Can you tell me?”

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, Chen Huifang spoke to Lin Tian.
