Mr. Bao and his son: Only use Stankang for hair oil

Chapter 110 Return to Suzhou City Shouxiang
After authoritative newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao", "Shen Shen" and "News" published Bao Guowei's research on the new alkali production method:

As the newspaper headline "Shocked at home and abroad..." said, this news caused considerable repercussions in a short period of time.

In addition to the fact that the public has made this matter a topic of conversation after dinner, relevant scholars at home and abroad have also caused quite a stir.

However, some scholars are still skeptical about the fact that the new alkali-making method was invented by a 15-year-old student:

Chemistry is a discipline based on practice. A relatively mature process often requires a chemist to be immersed in the laboratory, consuming a lot of time, energy, and money costs. There is often a small probability of developing a new technology. method.

Even so, the new methods developed may not be practical.

Now a young student actually successfully developed a highly practical soda-making process in an ordinary laboratory in just three days.

No matter how you look at it, it is a bit outrageous.

But in any case, many scholars want to see the true nature of this new alkali production method, and some people have even begun to go to Tianjin Yongli Soda Production Plant to try to understand more details.

……

In China, today's schools can be roughly divided into "New Wave School" and "Xueheng School".

In short, the new trend group is the new school. As the name suggests, it advocates new trends and highly values ​​science. It is very powerful today. The reason for its strength is closely related to the New Culture Movement.

The Xueheng School is a cultural conservative school that claims to save the "quintessence of China". They are very inconsistent with the ideas of the new wave schools, and are also called the "old school" by some people, referring to "old culture" such as Chinese studies and classical poetry. As a means of opposing the New Wavers, bashing each other.

In today's era without multimedia, the way ordinary people obtain information about major events is through literary publications such as newspapers and magazines.

Therefore, to measure the strength of a school of thought, the most important thing is the popularity of its publications.

The higher the reputation, the greater the power of public opinion controlled.

The main leaders of the New Wave School are Chen Duxiu and others. The main publications published today are "New Youth" and "New Wave"...

The main publications of the Xueheng School are "Xueheng", "Journal of Literature and Philosophy", and "Chinese Studies Series".

Since the conflict between Hu Shi and Mei Guangdi, the founder of the Xueheng School, in 1915, the conflict between the two schools has intensified. Today, there is a tendency to tit for tat against Mai Mang.

Bao Guowei's move undoubtedly added a strong boost to the new faction. It won't be long before he may be featured in "New Youth" magazine.

……

And when some teachers at Suzhou New Style School learned about this - especially Principal Wang, who had just been transferred there, he was so excited that he didn't even have the mood to take a look at his bag. Mistress.

He immediately had Bao Guowei's admission file transferred from the school, and repeatedly looked at the photos on the file and the photos in the newspaper. After comparing them in person, he was very excited:

The former principal was transferred out, and he had just taken over the first class, and he had such a "world-famous" student under him.

Not only can the status of Zhicheng School rise with the tide, but as the principal, he can also get some glory and enjoy the "celebrity halo".

He immediately ordered a pair of silk and satin banners to be hung in front of the gate on the first day of school for students to pay tribute to his deeds.

In addition, I also drafted the campus newspaper in advance and went to Suzhou Daily...

The threshold of Lao Bao's family has also been crossed. His address has long been revealed, and someone suddenly came to visit him with gifts.

The Bao family has been reluctant to receive gifts, and the house is filled with all kinds of tea and cakes.

But for Lao Bao, these things are not important. What he cares about most is when he can see Bao Guowei come home.

……

Bao Guowei still doesn't know what happened in his hometown in Suzhou.

He is now in the small foreign-style building in the Chu family's residence, lying on a back chair, looking at Chu Ze sitting opposite, with some small calculations in his heart.

Not long after the two of them sat down, several female servants brought several plates of freshly fried side dishes to the table, including both meat and vegetables. It seemed that Chu Ze's daily life was extremely comfortable.

Bao Guowei put the ceramic tea cup in his hand to his mouth and took a sip of tea. He immediately tasted the familiar taste of Dongting Lake Biluochun, a specialty of Suzhou.

A sip of warm tea relieved the greasiness of the kebabs he had just eaten, and he suddenly felt much relieved.

Somehow, Chu Ze always felt that Bao Guowei looked a little tired, and even looked pale. This was not the look of a person who was experiencing a happy event:

"Why do you look so haggard?"

Why so haggard?Of course he was frightened by the horse bandits. When Bao Guowei mentioned this, he felt a little aggrieved:
"Alas! I was robbed by horse bandits on the road."

Although he was robbed, the group of horse bandits were really unbearable:

From the beginning, their plan was to consume the guards' ammunition and eventually threaten to surrender, trying to complete the train robbery without killing as many people as possible.

After the successful carjacking, not only did he not kill people randomly, but he was also very "considerate" and left some money for the passengers to go home according to the car and the money they collected, although it was not much.

Now that I think about it, this move was probably to avoid offending people too seriously.

The fare of a long-distance train is easily one or two months' salary of an ordinary person. Ordinary people cannot afford it. In addition to the passengers in the third-class carriage, there are many big shots sitting inside. If they really kill too many people and offend too many people, I'm afraid the army's encirclement and suppression is coming.

The horse bandit who could plan such a thorough carjacking plan must have a very clever leader.

If they were bandits who killed indiscriminately to vent their emotions, they were really just a ragtag group. How could they get so many people, guns, and horses together?Not to mention hijacking a train with nearly thirty guards.

When Chu Ze heard about Bao Guowei being robbed by horse bandits, he wanted to laugh. A man who was about to become famous all over the world almost got robbed by horse bandits while taking a train.

But it was naturally impossible to laugh in front of his face. His face suddenly showed a very concerned look:

"Is there any injury? Do you need to see a doctor? The medical technology in Shanghai is very advanced. If there is any injury, you can call it a foreign..."

"Actually, nothing happened. I just lost dozens of dollars to the horse bandits."

The horse bandit robbed Bao Guowei of dozens of dollars, and Bao Guowei beat two of his accomplices to death. This transaction was actually not a bad deal.

"For that reason, you must be careful next time you travel. There is a war between the north and the south. It is very inconvenient to travel. It is not advisable to travel casually if you have nothing important to do. Even if you travel, you must bring a escort." Bao Guowei didn't want to talk about this anymore. Since he had just learned Ze mentioned the matter of seeing a doctor, which made him happy:
"Brother Wenchen, I'm new here, but I see that many medical clinics in Shanghai already have a kind of medicine that can cure diseases, and they are still advertising and marketing it, claiming that it can treat wind and cold and other diseases. Could this be..."

People from this group of big families always like to use words to address each other, and they also like to talk about words. Bao Guowei simply went along with it and called Chu Ze "Wen Chen".

Chu Ze replied calmly:
"Haha, you're right, this is the allicin you gave me not long ago.

This method of treating diseases has now begun to be gradually spread, and is used in many medical clinics in the Jiangnan area. Now in winter, people often fall ill, and this medicine can treat wind and cold, and the profit situation is excellent..."

It took more than a day or two for Bao Guowei to hand over the method of making allicin.

It took such a long time for this method to be rolled out. I am afraid that the people of the Chu family have secretly put a lot of effort into researching it.

But it is not that simple to delay the effectiveness of allicin, but this method has been hidden for so long, and they are not without success:

At least they have successfully experimented with methods to remove the odor of garlic, and they have packaged it when selling it, so that people who buy the medicine will have a hard time noticing that it is a product made of garlic.

However, this method is probably just to prevent ordinary people from producing and selling it themselves, so that they can earn a few more days of money. The Chu family is definitely not the only one who should know how to make allicin.

It would be fine if we didn’t mention the allicin. When we mentioned the allicin, Chu Ze became a little confused when thinking about the new alkali production method he had developed:

This Bao Guowei is only 15 years old and has not even finished middle school. He has been able to develop allicin and a new method of making alkali, two things that are worthy of being recorded in history. Is there really such a genius in this world?

So he spoke again:

“I don’t know how many lives this new method can save, it’s a great merit!
However, I really don’t know how this method was developed? "

Bao Guowei accepted this evaluation of immeasurable merit, but he also wanted to see if he could get it because of the reputation of allicin he had researched:

"Yes, this new method can indeed save many people. Of course, this merit is also inseparable from Brother Wenchen's insight, otherwise I would not be able to come up with this method easily.

I met Uncle Hou...Mr. Hou Debang before. He spoke highly of the new alkali production method I developed, including Mr. Fan Xudong.

But in my opinion, this allicin is my most proud invention, and it can be said to be a real benefit to the people. "

Hearing this, Chu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, Uncle Hou?Hou Debang was so close to him, so Fan Xudong...

"As for how this method was developed... maybe I am indeed a genius, or maybe it's luck. I can always discover things that ordinary people can't pay attention to."

Bao Guowei seemed a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said.

Chu Ze obviously doesn’t believe in luck. He has also studied abroad in the West, and he is not completely ignorant of chemistry. He clearly wants to create a new alkali production method with practical value that is not inferior to the Solvay type alkali production method. Disaster.

But Bao Guowei said, he is a genius, maybe this is what geniuses are like?
On the large wooden table where the two people sat, there was a stack of newspapers: "Shenbao", "Ta Kung Pao", "News" and other newspapers. Without exception, these newspapers reported on the birth of the new alkali production method.

Chu Ze picked one up and held it in his hand:

“Not only the Wynn Alkali Plant, there are many engineers studying chemical engineering all over the world, especially in the West. They have invested an unknown amount of money and have not seen any new results over the years.

This kind of thing cannot be discovered successfully by luck. It only took a few days to successfully develop a new alkali production method. It seems that it really requires a genius. "

When talking about this topic, it was a bit far away. Bao Guowei opened his mouth again and brought the topic back:

"Brother Wenchen, I wonder when this allicin will be fully rolled out?"

In fact, Chu Ze had already understood what Bao Guowei meant: he wanted the title of researching allicin, and he wanted it now.

Hearing Bao Guowei's words, Chu Ze quickly weighed it in his mind, and finally a smile appeared on his face:
"I remember once saying that it's better for you and me to talk directly."

……

At noon on December [-], [-], after a night of repairs, Bao Guowei and three servants boarded the train carrying some large and small bags.

Shanghai is a very prosperous place, and he would like to stay a little longer, but it has been more than half a month since he left here. If he doesn't go home, he may be very anxious.

This time I took the blue steel express train, which was very fast, just like returning home.

Of course, the transportation expenses were paid by the Chu family.

After more than two hours, the winding journey of more than a hundred miles passed. When Bao Guowei saw the train crossing a gap in the city wall, it entered the city of Suzhou.

During these two hours, Bao Guowei felt a little tortured because the passenger sitting in the same seat recognized him and even shouted out loudly.

This in turn caused a small commotion in the train. After all, it was a rare thing in this era to have a popular celebrity who had appeared in an authoritative national newspaper not long ago.

Bao Guowei was always being talked to and being stared at every move he made along the way. This made Bao Guowei a little uncomfortable. It seemed like he should buy a mask in the future?

Fortunately, the train finally arrived at the station. After more than half a month, Bao Guowei returned to Suzhou.

It seems that Suzhou has not changed much, it is the same as when it came out at the beginning of the month.

It was noon, the winter sun was hidden among the deep white clouds, and the sky and the earth were a little dark.

The old train station was as crowded as last time, and the four Bao family members got off the train with their luggage.

On the high platform, there was an old man wearing brown brocade clothes, a black cotton hat, and reading glasses.

As usual, he stood at a high place and looked at the railway. He waited eagerly for a long time before finally waiting for a train.

This train was not big, so he looked expectantly at the people coming out of the train, carefully watching the passengers pouring out of it.

He carefully distinguished the faces of the passengers who got off the bus, looking back and forth between the first-class door and the second-class door. In the end, he even looked at the third-class door.

After scanning around, he still didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Lao Bao sighed...

The four Bao family members packed their luggage, and as soon as they got off the train, Bao Guowei seemed to feel something - Lao Bao was standing on the platform.
