The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 770: Chapter 770 Mister Qi Amazed by the Heating Pack Chapter 770: Chapter 770 Mister Qi Amazed by the Heating Pack In the study, it was just the two of them. Qi Chan did not allow anyone else to come and see.

He always felt that what Shu Yu brought out must be a rare item, and it wasn’t good for too many people to see it.

Shu Yu asked him to wait for a moment, then went to prepare some things. Soon after, just like the last time, she got water, took the Heating Pack, and brought over the noodles from the kitchen that had not yet been put in the pot.

Qi Chan was full of confusion, watching her bustling about.

In no time at all, Shu Yu said, “Let’s cook some noodles to eat.”

Cook noodles? Where is the charcoal?

Without charcoal or firewood, Shu Yu simply poured water into the pot containing the Heating Pack and covered it with a lid.

Soon, a bubbling sound began to emerge.

Qi Chan was astonished and reached out to lift the lid. Shu Yu had anticipated this reaction; both Zhao Xi and the old lady had reacted in the same manner.

She handed over a cloth, “Teacher, be careful not to scald yourself.”

Qi Chan held his breath, lifted the lid, and sure enough, saw the water inside bubbling and boiling.

“This, this…” Qi Chan looked up blankly, “The water has actually boiled?”

Shu Yu nodded, “Yes, I discovered this accidentally. This is called a Heating Pack. When it meets water, it heats up. I was thinking, the weather is very cold now, isn’t it? Our area is abundant with mountains and firewood, but some places lack firewood, and it’s difficult to start a fire to cook in some places. Isn’t this Heating Pack just perfect? Very convenient.”

“Yes, very convenient.” Especially for those soldiers guarding the borders, those people simply don’t have the conditions to start fires.

Sometimes, in heavy snow, carrying their rations and guarding the city, they are hungry and can only eat rock-hard cornbread that could chip their teeth. When thirsty, a gulp of water sends a chill through their entire body.

But if they had this, no need to look for firewood, no need to light a fire and attract attention, just add some water and they could have a warm meal.

Not just for the soldiers on guard, but also for travelers and merchants venturing out, often sleeping in the open air where starting a fire to cook is very troublesome, with this thing, just pour some water in, and it’s done.

The more Qi Chan thought about it, the faster his breathing became, his eyes shining extraordinarily bright.

Even more surprising and exciting than when Yao Tianqin brought him the new farming tools.

He suddenly looked up, staring at the young girl in front of him.

He had once said that this girl was his lucky star, but now it seems, not just a lucky star, but a true noble benefactor. How could there be such a capable girl?

She brought back Cheng Dong, who had fled, and now she’s brought these Heating Packs that could benefit soldiers and the people.

Qi Chan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, he hadn’t laughed so freely for a long time.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but shiver a little, this can’t be too much of a shock, can it?

“Mister Qi, Mister Qi? Teacher, are you alright?”

“Ha ha ha, no, I’m fine, I’m not fine, I’m just happy, too happy.” Qi Chan finally stopped laughing, had it not been inconvenient, he would have liked to give Shu Yu a couple of hearty pats on the shoulder.

He didn’t continue speaking but continued to watch the pot in front of him.

The Heating Pack lasted for a long time, the noodles were cooked, Qi Chan tasted them and became even more satisfied.

He was eager to open the Heating Pack, but Shu Yu stopped him, handing him an unused Heating Pack.

Qi Chan took a deep breath, carefully accepted it, his eyes growing brighter.

Shu Yu just watched him study the Heating Pack, turning it over and over, with a growing urge to go home.
