Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 93
Lehe's chest heaved and fell for a long time, and finally tears welled up in his eyes. He raised his wine glass sincerely: "I have seen what my brother did today, and it is all Lehe's fault. Lehe respects you!" This glass of wine, please save my son, Le Cheng!"

This time, it was Sun Xin who pulled Lehe's sleeve and said with a smile: "If you want to toast me, promise me not to embarrass my sister-in-law in the future. Think about things between husband and wife, and I will accept this glass of wine." Down."

Le He blushed, glanced at Mrs. Le Zhang, nodded and said, "It's my fault. If I do such unremarkable things in the future, I won't be alone."

Hearing this, Mrs. Le Zhang showed joy on her face. She looked at Sun Xin very gratefully, and Mrs. Le also laughed.

Le He drank the small glass of white wine and felt mixed feelings. In the past, he was always jealous of Sun Xin's sudden fortune, but seeing what he did today, he really couldn't say a word, no wonder Man Deng Zhou Cheng heard Xiao Yuchi Sun Xin's voice, and he was overjoyed and convinced.

Sun Xin made it clear to Le He that he was going back to dispense medicine. Le He thanked him again and again, and finally told Le Zhang the truth.

Le Zhang also understood Le He's difficulties after hearing that his child Le Cheng was originally suffering from an incurable disease, and the two couples couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Le He held a toast to Mrs. Le Zhang. It is impossible to ask him to bow his head in front of outsiders to apologize to Ms. Le Zhang these days. This behavior is actually rare, and Ms. Le Zhang also drank this cup liquor.

In the evening, Lehe was already drunk and passed out. Sun Xin got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Le Zhang: "My brother can only do this. If there is anything else, you can come to Zhuangzi to find me."

Le Zhang nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "I don't know how I would get back here today without my uncle's help."

Sun Xin waved his hand, "One family doesn't talk about two families."

Not to mention that the strength of the distilled wine is quite strong, he also smelled a little alcohol at this time, so he said, "Tomorrow I will take Le Cheng to Zhuangzi for treatment." Then he left Lehe's family.

The gate of Dengzhou City was about to close, and Sun Xincheng was so drunk that he couldn't make it through the night, so he led the chariot and horse to Sun Li's house to complain.

Sun Li was worrying about Mrs. Le Zhang. He hadn't seen Mrs. Le back at home for a long time, and was planning to go to Le He's house to find someone. At this time, he saw Sun Xin and Mrs. Le came back together.

He listened to what Mrs. Le said, and asked Sun Xin carefully if there was really a cure for Le Cheng before he confirmed that the matter was resolved. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted Sun Xin on the shoulder and said: " It’s a really good job.”

The next day, Sun Xin went to the Yaopu Street in Dengzhou City to look for antimony.

Antimony is generally sold as lead in this era because of its relatively small stock and its chemical properties are very close to lead.

Sun Xin first found a shop selling cosmetics.

Lead powder is a very common cosmetic in this era. The behavior of directly applying Qianbai to the face seems to Sun Xin to be a slow suicide, and this kind of cosmetics has indeed caused lead poisoning to many people who have used lead powder for a long time. There is no way for Sun Xin to change the trend in a short period of time. All he can do is to constantly emphasize the dangers of lead poisoning to the women around him.Now Hu Sanniang and Gu Dajie on Sun Xinzhuang's make-up foundation are all fermented and precipitated rice flour, which is much safer.

Hearing that Sun Xin wanted to buy a whole block of lead, the store took out some lead blocks for Sun Xin to identify.

After Sun Xin compared the hardness, he could confirm that some of them must not be pure lead, but Sun Xin couldn't tell whether it was antimony-lead alloy or other lead alloys, or simple antimony.

Seeing Sun Xin tossing about for a long time, the shopkeeper couldn't help stepping up to ask. When he heard that Sun Xin was going to buy something that looked like lead but didn't look like lead, he thought for a while and then smiled and said, "You don't sound like that." Lead powder, it looks like fake tin. Why don't you go to the tinsmith and ask?"

Sun Xin listened to the store's suggestion and went to the tinsmith's shop. After some inquiries, he found pure antimony ore here.

Sun Xin was quite surprised. After asking the tinsmith, he learned that the thing was shipped from Huguang. Sun Xin also vaguely remembered that the largest source of antimony ore in New China in later generations was actually the tin mine in Hunan.

The reserves of the metal antimony are too low, so in ancient times people generally regarded it as a kind of lead and tin.

In fact, craftsmen and businessmen who often come into contact with these metals are not unaware of the difference between antimony and tin-lead, and often pretend to be confused on purpose.

In their view, antimony with scarce reserves cannot be sold at a price, so it is better to sell it as tin or lead.

Although the price of tin and lead in later generations is far lower than that of antimony, selling antimony as tin or lead in this era is actually a fake behavior.

So when he heard that Sun Xin wanted to buy fake tin, the tinsmith took out a piece of elemental antimony ore under Sun Xin's stunned expression.

Sun Xin knew that there were very few reserves of this kind of thing, and if it was placed in later generations, it could even be put into a geological museum, but if he didn't come to buy it these days, this precious elemental antimony ore might be secretly adulterated and melted by this tinsmith. Go into the tin water to make a jug.

I heard that the price Sun Xin wanted to buy from the craftsman was actually cheaper than buying a piece of pure tin.Sun Xin hurriedly bought the ore whose surface had been oxidized and blackened.He scratched it with his fingers to basically confirm the purity. As for further confirming whether it was antimony, he had to take it back and test it in the same way as the preparation of sodium gallic antimonate. If the reaction process was exactly as described in the book he had learned If it's good, it's basically fine.

After buying some needed medicinal materials, Sun Xin went to Lehe's house to pick up Lecheng.

Both Le He and Le Zhang got up early, changed Le Cheng into a new dress and waited in the room.

Sun Xin saw that Mrs. Le Zhang was also carrying a package, but when she asked, Mrs. Le Zhang and Le He had discussed it last night. She followed Le Cheng to Sun Xin's Zhuangzi to take care of the children.

Sun Xin knew that Mrs. Le Zhang also had the idea of ​​repaying his kindness. I am sorry to accept his treatment for nothing, so he wanted to go to his village to help and do something to repay the favor.

Without saying anything, he took the mother and son into the carriage together.

After driving back to Sunjiazhuang to arrange accommodation for the two of them, Sun Xin immediately started making medicines.

After some experiments, Sun Xin was pleasantly surprised to find that the ore was indeed elemental antimony, and the purity had exceeded what he could obtain by refining himself under the technological conditions of this era. However, he produced enough antimony in two days. The sodium antimony gallate used by Le Cheng still had a lot of antimony left, so Sun Xin took a porcelain bottle and sealed it.

Although Le Cheng is seven years old, he can use five-day high-dose short-course therapy according to the standards of later generations, but Sun Xin still chooses a relatively conservative 20-day low-dose long-term therapy for Le Cheng's treatment.
