Jinyi champion

Chapter 135
Zhu Niang just came to see her son, seeing that it was all right, she stayed with Tang Yin again, so she felt relieved and told her son to study hard, and she would leave after staying for less than half an hour.

Zhu Hao said, "Mother, I'll go and have a look with you."

Zhu Niang didn't want her son to go to the market town. Her plan was to see how the disease progressed in the next two days. However, Zhu Hao knew in his heart that the doctors in and out of the city were all of the same level, and when he got sick, he had to rely more on his body to resist.

When he came to the market town this time, in addition to checking Zhu Ting's condition, he also wanted to buy some materials to help his sister tide over the difficulties in his own way.

"Is Mr. Lu going with you?"

Before Zhu Hao left, he looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin thought about it, a few days ago, he would not have stayed alone in the village, but now that he has gotten to know the villagers well, he found that these people really have no ill intentions towards him. too much.

Now that the epidemic is prevalent outside, it is better to go out less.

Tang Yin waved his hand: "Go early and come back early."

It means not going.

……

……

The village is actually not remote, and the transportation is convenient, less than ten miles away from the nearby market town.

When he arrived in the town, Zhu Hao told Zhu Niang some basic knowledge about disease prevention.

The most important thing is to keep ventilated, and use a thick cloth to make a mask to cover your mouth and nose.

When I entered the rented folk house and saw Aunt Li and Zhu Ting, the situation was indeed not very good.

As an adult, Aunt Li's physical fitness is not bad, and her condition is relatively stable, but Zhu Ting's face is pale, and she has a high fever when she touches her forehead. Although her eyes are open, she looks not energetic. When she sees Zhu Hao, she barely smiles , called out: "Brother."

Just by saying "brother", Zhu Hao has a sense of mission.

He didn't go to the doctor, but went directly to the person Su Xigui left in town to contact him.

It was Su Xigui's old shopkeeper about fifty years old, surnamed Jin, who was very respectful to Zhu Hao: "Young master, you came to see our master? Our master left for Wuchang Mansion two days ago. If you have anything to do, just ask... This old man stays here, waiting for you at any time."

It is said that it is to order, but it is to leave a contact person. On the surface, it is to open a shop in the market town, wholesale and retail firewood, rice, oil and salt. In fact, it is convenient for Zhu Hao to suddenly think of some tricks for drying salt. Wuchang Mansion notified Huang Zan, and Huang Zan notified the Ministry of Household...

It's like fighting a war.

But this time Zhu Hao asked Su Xigui's people to help him go to the city to order materials.

……

……

That night.

Zhu Hao did not stay in the market town, but returned to Shangkuang Village.

When I came back, Xiakuang Village happened to find six or seven children to study with him. Xiakuang Village is much smaller than Shangkuang Village, and the population is not very large. It took many days to find all the people.

Tang Yin sized Zhu Hao up and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back today."

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Lu, I bought some herbal medicines in the market town, and there are still a few herbs that are not enough. I am asking Su Dongzhu's people to come to Changshou County to help me buy them."

Tang Yin frowned, and really wanted to say, you boy is quite good at calling people. If Su Xigui knew that the people he left behind would help you do chores, what would you make Su Xigui think?
"What are you going to do?" Tang Yin asked.

Zhu Hao was in a hurry: "I told him that no matter how late it is today, the materials I need must be delivered. Those customized items are really inconvenient to transport, so they must be delivered tomorrow morning... Fortunately, before I have made some preparations for a few days, if Mr. Lu is busy, please go to rest, forgive me for not being with you more."

Zhu Hao originally wanted Tang Yin to help, but thinking about the fallacies of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen in this era, let alone doing handicraft work, a proud and talented man like Tang Yin would probably not be able to do this.

They are all newbies anyway, so asking those children to help is actually the same. As long as they are taught, the children will sometimes be more diligent and flexible.

……

……

What Zhu Hao is going to do now is plant antibiotics that can be easily extracted in this era. There are roughly two types of Houttuynia cordata concentrate and berberine. In addition, there is another Bupleurum injection that is mainly used to reduce fever. Zhu Hao could think of the most effective way to treat influenza.

However, to manufacture these kinds of plant extracts, it is inevitable to use an industrial raw material that has never existed in this era, that is, sulfuric acid.

Fortunately, the cross-travelers have summed up a relatively well-formed local process for producing sulfuric acid, that is, the lead chamber method. The tools used need to be customized, so it is not a big problem. The well-connected merchants helped, which is why Zhu Hao used Su Xigui's subordinates.

The modified ceramic cylinders and ceramic tube connectors that are needed right now are still being produced and delivered, so Zhu Hao can only grind the medicinal materials bought from the market town first.

It is relatively easy to have children to help.

Tang Yin didn't go back to rest, but stayed at the laboratory side, watching a group of children busy there under a few bright candlesticks, he had an indescribable feeling, he wanted to go up and ask what he could do, but after thinking about it Still sitting on the sidelines, pretending to be with a book, but actually paying attention to Zhu Hao's actions all the time.

In the middle of the night, there was a commotion outside, but it was Su Xigui's gold shopkeeper who came with the necessary materials and pottery master.

"Master Zhu, the things you want are too precious, and they are easy to be damaged by bumps and bumps on the road. Some of them are directly made in the city and brought over, and some of them are brought to the molds to be fired on the spot according to your instructions. If you bumped or missed something, you can take care of it... Let the master repair it for you!"

The treasurer Jin is very enthusiastic.

As Su Xigui's capable general, he is actually in a semi-retired state now, and he is also one of Su Xigui's few who knows that Zhu Hao has greatly helped Huang Zan in his official career. If Su Xigui doesn't tell him the truth, he can't make him feel at ease. Settle down in this little place.

Now that he knew what Zhu Hao meant to Huang Zan and Su Xigui, he didn't dare to be negligent when doing things. Zhu Hao didn't say what the pottery master he hired was for. If it was related to drying salt?

Zhu Hao said: "Trouble shopkeeper Jin, I may have to be busy here until dawn, if shopkeeper Jin has other things, you can go back first... Let the masters work overnight, I will not treat you badly here. Is it okay to pay more than three times the usual salary?"

Shopkeeper Jin had no intention of going back, and after hearing what he said, he didn't even want to leave.

Even if it's not related to drying salt, I still need to know what you're doing, so that I won't be idle if I stay in Anlu. Otherwise, the group of colleagues around Su Dongzhu don't think that I, Lao Jin, is an incompetent idiot?

……

……

The yard was busy.

Ceramic vats, two large vats form a group, one up and one down, mouth to mouth stand up, and then connect the big vats with a thick earth ceramic conduit, and the joints are fired by a pottery master to form a ceramic vat. The confined space became a distillation tower composed of five groups of large vats.

The principle of using the lead chamber method to produce sulfuric acid and nitric acid is to roast sulfur dioxide-containing gas including pyrite, sulfur, smelting flue gas, hydrogen sulfide, gypsum and waste sulfuric acid, etc., and pour it into the lead chamber tower. A chemical reaction forms sulfuric acid droplets that come out.

That's the theory, but it's not easy to put it into practice.

First of all, the size of the ceramic cylinder is not suitable this time. If it is too large, it cannot be used for industrial production, but if it is small, it is cumbersome for the temporary firing of sulfuric acid, so that it takes a lot of effort to keep the sealing of the firing connector. At dawn, Zhu Hao found that the sealant was insufficient, and the quality of the gypsum bought by shopkeeper Jin was not very good, so he asked shopkeeper Jin to take someone back to Anlu to buy another batch as soon as possible.

It's nearly sixty miles back and forth, even if the road is flat, the carriage will take nearly three hours.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Jin brought people and materials back in time. Zhu Hao prepared the necessary materials, even the bottles and jars used for refining plant antibiotics, and started preheating them. He only waited for the completion of the lead room for refining sulfuric acid. .

After working for more than half an hour, the entire equipment of the lead chamber method was officially completed, but Zhu Hao was very afraid of any accidents in the middle, such as where there was an air leak after heating... Fortunately, the previous inspection was relatively complete, adding The four craftsmen found online are exquisite in craftsmanship, and there is no surprise in this regard.

Shopkeeper Jin saw Zhu Hao walking back and forth in front of several pottery pots, adding materials and checking the temperature of the furnace, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Little shopkeeper, isn't this burning...salt?"

Shopkeeper Jin finally understood that what he was doing in front of him had nothing to do with drying salt, it seemed that he was... burning salt?
But the problem is...

Can salt be done by firing?
That's about the same as frying salt with firewood, right?

Zhu Hao turned a deaf ear to Shopkeeper Jin's question.

Busy with work, how can I have time to deal with so many curious babies?

Tang Yin, who was next to him, covered his nose to resist the pungent smell, but was reluctant to leave, wanted to see what Zhu Hao was doing, and took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Of course it's not burning salt, it should be to prepare for the treatment of local diseases. "

"what?"

Shopkeeper Jin looked bewildered, and quickly asked the famous Tang Yin, "Master Tang, you are well-informed, can you tell me, what is the relationship between this troublesome and troublesome epidemic and the epidemic epidemic in the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas?"

Originally, Tang Yin didn't know, but after listening to Shopkeeper Jin's words, he realized that this plague has spread widely, because it is a respiratory infectious disease, and the population in Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas is frequent, this disease does not do much harm to adults, it only affects the immune system. Influenced by the weak and weak, the disease has been prevalent, and it has only recently spread to the Huguang area.

Tang Yin only knew roughly that Zhu Hao was busy with this all night, and that he stayed with Zhu Hao until now, but he didn't know what Zhu Hao actually did.

Tang Yin waved his hand: "The smell here is too strong, why don't we go to the door and ask him when he turns around and he will know."

On such matters, Tang Yin is very honest, if I don't understand, I don't pretend to talk nonsense, if you want to know the answer, just ask Zhu Hao, anyway, I think this kid is getting more and more evil.

I thought there was some kind of expert behind him, but I haven't seen the shadow of the expert until now, but this kid is doing more and more things on his own, making people feel that everything is done by this kid... So, let's see Let him act alone.

　Four chapters broke out today, and it is expected that there will be another chapter at [-]:[-] in the afternoon!
