Chapter 682: Chapter 664: Mother will spank your little butt!_1

This is a significant challenge indeed!

Su Pan’er suddenly realized, she wondered why the mountain robbers, despite being able to grow food on the mountain, still resorted to highway robbery. The main reason must be a lack of sufficient food.

"There is no need for robbery, rest assured! I have a clever plan."

With a confident expression on her face, Su Pan’er said, "We’ve been hungry all morning, let’s go! We’ll head back and eat first, and then discuss other matters."

Her stomach had long been clamoring from hunger, but most importantly, she hadn’t seen Little Yanyan in a while, and she missed her dearly.

When they returned to the conference hall, as expected, they heard the loud sobbing of Little Yanyan, causing Su Pan’er’s heart to ache.

"Don’t cry, Yanyan. Mommy’s little Yanyan be good and stop crying, okay..."

She quickly took Little Yanyan from Nanny Zhou’s arms, holding and comforting her. Seeing that her mother had returned, Little Yanyan forgot about her tears, tightly gripping Su Pan’er’s clothes with her little hand, pointing at Nanny Zhou and babbling her complaints.

"My lady, after the young lady woke up, I fed her milk. But after that, she started looking for you. I tried to soothe her by saying you were sleeping, but she refused to comply and started crying," explained Nanny Zhou, finding the situation amusing.

Even Su Pan’er grinned. She pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Little Yanyan’s crimson little nose, "My child, Mommy has been busy. How can you be so unreasonable? If you do this again, Mommy will spank your bottom. Understand?"

Little Yanyan seemed to grasp Su Pan’er’s words, her little hands gripping Su Pan’er’s neck and burying her head in her shoulder, choosing not to sob and burying herself in silence.

"Alright, alright! No more sadness. Let’s go, Mommy will take you in for some breakfast."

Saying so, she carried Little Yanyan into the conference hall.

The conference hall was indeed spacious. Upon her instructions, the kitchen quickly served up breakfast: two vegetable dishes and a bowl of mushroom soup. Though they were not fine dishes, they were natural, unpolluted, and healthy.

Su Pan’er mixed rice with the gravy, making a small half bowl and fed it to Little Yanyan.

Little Yanyan was now bigger and protective of her food. She clung onto the bowl with one hand while her other hand rapidly munched on her food. As soon as Su Pan’er slowed down, Little Yanyan would open her mouth and start chattering in protest, forcing Su Pan’er to keep feeding her until the half bowl of rice and gravy was all in her little belly.

"Oh my! The young lady’s appetite is growing, she can eat so much rice now, she’s growing fast. It seems we won’t need to grind rice into porridge anymore once we finish the current batch," said Nanny Zhou, her face full of joy.

"Exactly. Even though this child has been eating a lot recently, it seems to me that she’s getting leaner instead. Could I be mistaken?"

Su Pan’er idly commented.

"Your servant thinks that the young lady is growing taller, although she’s a little thinner now, she sure is healthy," said Nanny Zhou, her eyebrows lifted in amusement.

"Indeed..."

Su Pan’er was about to continue, but the soldier from before requested to see her at the door.

"What’s it now? What can I help you with?"

The soldier quickly bowed, "Madam, the old man from before asked to see you."

The old man wanted to see her? Could it be that he had agreed to her terms?

The thought made Su Pan’er’s eyes light up.

"Alright, I’ll come with you to see him."

The old man was standing under a bamboo tree, clad in a smoky color, appearing entirely black. In particular, his hands, filled with chapped and rough calluses, seemed cumbersome as he stood there. Upon seeing Su Pan’er approaching, he bowed repeatedly.

"Ma-madam..."

"I heard you agreed to my proposal?" Su Pan’er went straight to the point.

"Yes, yes I..."

The old man blushed and stammered, unable to find the right words.

"You don’t have to be so flustered, I won’t bite."

Su Pan’er laughed, her words carrying a hint of amusement: "How about this! The ratio I want to teach you is not difficult, yet it’s also not easy. I’ll teach you one part first, and you can try that out."

The old man repeatedly bowed in response.

"When I reviewed your original ingredient ratios, to be honest, it’s quite difficult to purify pure saltpeter. Generally speaking, this process can be divided into three steps. The first step is to dissolve the natural saltpeter in clean fresh water to eliminate impurities..."

Su Pan’er spoke slowly in order to allow the old man to understand thoroughly, who was indeed listening intently, fully concentrated.

"The second step is to continuously boil egg whites and carrots in the solution to absorb impurities, and then remove the resultant waste. The third step is to pour glue water into the solution, boil it again, pour it into an urn, and after solidification, remove the impurities from the surface and the sediment from the bottom. The white crystals in the middle layer is pure saltpeter."

Following Su Pan’er’s explanation, the old man’s eyes were shining, he stared at her without blinking as if he was mentally calculating his actions.

"These are the things to pay attention to for now. You can first test this with your apprentices and sons and see how it works out. If there’s anything unclear, you can ask me later."

Speaking her piece, Su Pan’er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the old man left with a grateful heart, Su Pan’er called the earlier soldier over: "I noticed that the craftsmen seemed to be divided into several factions, is there any reason behind this?"

"There’s no particular reasoning, they were grouped earlier for cooperative work distribution, each responsible for different parts of the process."

Being a clever man, the soldier understood Su Pan’er’s intent before she had even completed her sentence: "Does Madam want to teach the remaining techniques separately to each group? Do you want me to call their leaders here?"

Though Su Pan’er hesitated for a moment, she finally nodded, "It’s a good idea."

Before long, the soldier returned, followed by two burly men: "Madam, these two were previously responsible for extracting sulfur and preparing gunpowder. What do you think..."

Su Pan’er nodded and glanced at the two men.

"You two must have heard what we discussed this morning, do you wish to learn? If not, I won’t force you. In fact, we will even arrange someone to escort you down the mountain."

The two men had long since been intrigued!

Upon hearing that Su Pan’er would pass on this craft to their descendants, they willingly agreed.

At her words, they both prostrated themselves on the ground, swearing oaths and curses.

"Get up, all of you. I have a method for extracting sulfur at present, and now, I’ll teach it to one of you."

She divided the two men, and taught the method of extracting sulfur to one of them. She then taught the other man how to prepare gunpowder, mentioning that the best ratio of potassium sulfate, sulfur, and charcoal is 75:15:10.

After finishing with the precautions, the two thanked her and left. Meanwhile, the sun had unknowingly moved to its zenith.
