Chapter 770: Qi Chan's Amazement at the Heating Pack
There were only the two of them in the study, and Qi Chan didn't let anyone else come in to see.
He had a feeling that whatever Shu Yu was about to show him must be something extraordinary, and it wouldn't be good if too many people saw it.
Shu Yu asked him to wait and went to prepare something. Just like last time, she brought water and heating packs, and she brought the uncooked noodles from the kitchen.
Qi Chan looked at her busying around with confusion on his face.
After a while, Shu Yu said, "Let's cook noodles."
Cook noodles? But where was the charcoal fire?
There was no charcoal fire or firewood, so Shu Yu poured water into the pot where the heating pack was placed and covered it with a lid.
Soon, the sound of bubbling water could be heard.
Qi Chan was stunned and reached out to lift the lid. But Shu Yu had already anticipated this, just like Zhao Xi and the old lady did before.
She directly handed him a piece of cloth. "Sir, be careful not to burn yourself."
Qi Chan held his breath and lifted the lid. Indeed, inside was boiling water, emitting bubbles and steam.
"This... this..." Qi Chan raised his head in astonishment. "You actually boiled the water?"
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, this is something I accidentally discovered. It's called a heating pack. It generates heat when it comes into contact with water. I thought that since the weather is getting colder now, in places where firewood is scarce or it's difficult to cook, this heating pack would be very convenient."
"Yes, extremely convenient." Especially for the soldiers guarding the border. They didn't have the conditions to make fires.
Sometimes, when it was snowing heavily, they would bring dry rations to guard the city, but they could only eat hard and tough bread that could break their teeth. When they were thirsty, a sip of water would leave them feeling cold all over.
But with this, they wouldn't need to find firewood or attract unwanted attention by starting a fire. They could just pour some water and have a warm meal.
Not only the soldiers guarding the city but also the merchants and travelers who often slept in the wilderness during their journeys, it was very troublesome to make fires and cook. With this item, they only needed to pour water into it.
The more Qi Chan thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes shone unusually.
It was even more surprising than the farming tools that Yao Tianqin had brought him back then.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the young girl in front of him.
Last time, he said that this girl was his lucky star, but now it seemed that she was not only a lucky star but also a person of great importance. How could there be such a capable girl?
She brought Cheng Dong, who had been hiding outside, and now she brought the heating pack that could benefit the soldiers and the people.
Qi Chan couldn't help but burst into laughter, he hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.
Shu Yu couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that he was under too much stress?
"Master Qi, Master Qi? Are you alright, sir?"
"Hahaha, I'm fine. I'm absolutely fine. I'm just happy, so happy." Qi Chan finally stopped laughing. If it wasn't inconvenient, he would have liked to pat Shu Yu's shoulder vigorously.
He didn't say anything further and continued to look at the pot in front of him.
The heating pack lasted for quite a while, and the noodles were already cooked. Qi Chan tasted them and became even more satisfied.
He couldn't wait to open the heating pack, but Shu Yu stopped him and handed him an unused one.
Qi Chan took a deep breath and carefully accepted it, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.
Shu Yu watched as he examined the heating pack, flipping it back and forth. She felt like she wanted to go home.
