Chapter 108: Inquiry

"How is it, I'm curious, isn't it? I really want to know what this is, isn't it?" Zhao Lingling shook the bottle in her hand like a bullfighter who was teasing a bull, teasing the curiosity in the hearts of the two sisters, if they didn't ask, they wouldn't tell.

"Tell us quickly, what is this? additives, spices or some special secret ingredient?"

"Hee-hee, in fact, this is jade red paste. ”

"Is it the very famous concubine jade ointment?"

"That's right. ”

"But the appearance of jade red paste should be gray-white mud, it shouldn't be like this at all, and the color difference is too big, Mr. Zhao, shouldn't the biotechnology department synthesize some kind of raw material, with the same smell and color, to deceive us." But this one tastes so similar. Su Yirou unscrewed the cork of the bottle and sniffed it carefully.

"Yirou, it's a bit rude for you to say that, how could Mr. Zhao deceive us?" Su Yishui stabbed his sister.

"You must have learned about refining salt when you were in junior high school. Zhao Lingling changed the topic and introduced the two sisters into her thinking from another angle.

"That's right. Su Yirou was a little puzzled, why did she suddenly mention chemical experiments?

"The principle is the same, as long as you purify it, and then evaporate it, it will have the same effect, don't believe you. Zhao Lingling took out an alcohol lamp, lit the fireworks, and put an asbestos net under the distillation flask, which was fixed on an iron shelf.

The two sisters are speechless, where is this like the act of a president, if you change into a white coat, you are clearly a laboratory worker.

"Huh. Zhao Lingling looked at them with a smile, don't speak, in the room, there was only the sound of the fire popping.

Speaking with facts is the most convincing. The rest of the methods are left to you. It's also useless.

Su Yishui suddenly felt that he seemed to be putting the cart before the horse, obviously he came back from the United States on leave this time to check the production of the company, and he was able to experience and do his best when his debut novel was released. Now, all my thoughts are on the boring things of how a beauty and cosmetics are made, which is really boring enough, no matter how it is made, those are the errands of the company's laboratory personnel. I only care about the company's strategy, the disposal of funds, and the arrangement of personnel, so why bother with this kind of thing, as the leader of a business but not familiar with the relevant business, there are more people, so it does not delay them to become an excellent manager.

However, seeing her sister's preoccupied eyes, especially Zhao Lingling's serious appearance, she couldn't say anything by herself, so she looked at it from another angle. It is a shame for a management to be unfamiliar with the level of craftsmanship and production methods of their own product brands.

"Okay, look, what is this?" After heating for five minutes, the rose-red liquid seemed to evaporate out of thin air, gradually becoming less and less, and the color gradually became dull, from rose red to pale red. It turns from pale red to white, and finally to grayish white, forming a palm-sized puddle of mud that adheres to the inner wall and the bottom of the distillation flask.

"Wow. It's amazing. Is this a jade ointment?"

"That's right. Zhao Lingling replied, took out a drill, slowly forced, pulled out the cork little by little, and after a muffled snort, the bottle was opened. A wave of heat rushed out of his face.

"We'll just have to wait for it to get cold and you'll know the truth. Zhao Lingling smiled and put the stopper and drill on the plate next to her.

In the air, the air flow that erupts is mixed with the unique aroma of jade red paste, which is the unique smell of jade red paste that has just been concocted.

"I really didn't expect that a bottle of rose-red liquid could turn into an off-white paste, it's amazing. Su Yirou picked up the bottle and was amazed, if it weren't for the high temperature, she would even want to reach out and pinch a piece to experience it.

"This is the product of modern technology, if it is changed to ancient times, the size of such a piece, I don't know how much material will be wasted?"

"Well, take the essence and remove the dross, and only a small part of the finished product after the chemical reaction of a large number of raw materials is removed, and most of it is wasted. Therefore, with the effect of the latest state of technology, the consumption of raw materials for our commodities has been reduced to a minimum. ”

"So, what is the specific solution?" Su Yirou's heart was entangled in a curious baby, forcing her to keep asking.

"That's what I just told you, the experiment of purifying coarse salt into refined salt. Zhao Lingling took the distillation flask off the shelf, put a long metal rod with a spoon in the distillation flask and stirred it, got the finished muddy jade red paste out, and put it in a small container on the side. Then, she took out a small scale, placed the container on the left side, and placed a few weights on the plate on the right.

"Wow, Mr. Zhao, I really worship you completely, if you are absolutely qualified as a middle school teacher, you have all kinds of treasures, how many treasures are there in this office, let our sisters open their eyes, okay?"

"It's just a prop borrowed from the lab, don't talk yet, don't distract me. Zhao Lingling focused on the weights and containers, while carefully picking up the weights and putting them on the plate, repeating it several times, until the pointer finally stopped in the middle position, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I calculate, the weight is 3.5 kilograms, the weight of the measuring cup itself is 1.1 kilograms, the weight of the finished product is 2.4 kilograms, the weight of the liquid extract is 8.4 milliliters, the conversion rate is 45%, and some residues also form the finished product, and the conversion rate is conservatively estimated at 46%, well, it's still good. She muttered to herself as she scribbled rows of data and chemical equations on a piece of paper, and the two women glanced at each other, neither of whom knew each other.

This process is called extraction technology and was invented by Li Xiao. ”

"Extraction technology? What is that, is it to completely purify the raw materials, isn't it?"

"That's right. So I've been asking you, what is the technology of refining refined salt from coarse salt, which is very similar to that process, but the way of thinking is completely different. ”

"The way of thinking is different? What does that mean?"

"Huh. Zhao Lingling smiled yin, "We usually like to use the results to find the cause, but now, we use the various reasons at the beginning to induce the result." ”

The two sisters were confused, what it was and what it was, and they didn't understand anything at all.

"Let's take this jade paste as an example. Zhao Lingling also knew that the knowledge level of the two sisters was high, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but simply sorted out the vocabulary and told them in the most simple and popular way possible.

"Tell me, how is the concubine jade red paste made?" Zhao Lingling spoke in a different way, her eyes did not look at them at all, but stared at the residue left in the distillation bottle, thoughtfully.

"This is very simple, light powder, almonds, borneol, musk, egg white, etc., before making the almonds, talc, light powder into fine powder, steamed in the cage, and then add borneol, musk, mix well with egg white. ”

"That's right, so when you were making it, did you follow this step exactly?" Zhao Lingling still stared at the wall of the bottle, as if gold could fall from there.

Su Yishui also wondered what she was looking at, so she also leaned over, and the wall of the distillation bottle was nothing but some solidified white solids.

By the way, the solidified paste, which is the solid state of the jade red paste, then if you can get these out, the yield will be higher.

"That's natural. Could it be that the recipe accumulated from the Tang Dynasty is wrong?" Su Yirou replied very calmly.

"Hahaha... Coldly, Zhao Lingling let out an eerie sneer, and her voice was very penetrating.

"Hahaha... After two minutes, there was no sign of stopping, and her laughter grew louder as if she had heard something funny. Even exaggerated clutching his stomach.

Su Yirou's face flushed, Su Yishui looked at this scene indifferently, what was she laughing at?

"No wonder, it has been difficult to develop, it turns out that this is the case. Zhao Lingling said something inexplicable.

"It is better to believe in a book than to have no book. You know that. ”

"Well, I've heard of it. ”

"So have you ever questioned what others have told you?" Zhao Lingling stared at the faces of the two of them unexpectedly, her expression was very serious.

"This is the sorrow of education. Zhao Lingling shook her head, looking pained, "Learn more from the elderly, and you can grow." ”

"Let me ask you, I just know the formula of jade red paste, this is just a surface, have you ever explored, when it was made, how much was the yield rate, how many failed, how many were disfigured because of this, how many raw materials were wasted, and what was the yield and consumption ratio?" Zhao Lingling threw out a lot of questions, which made the two sisters overwhelmed and dumbfounded.

"I've never thought about it... Su Yirou collapsed directly, spread her hands, and Su Yishui was only barely holding on, in fact, she couldn't do it anymore.

Oh my God, with so many questions, how do you let yourself know?

"You know? The things you learn from school are just a trick, and the really useful ones are where to start. Zhao Lingling pointed to her head and then to the foreheads of the two sisters. "This is even more important as a manager. (To be continued.) )
