Chapter Twenty-Four: There is no Ximen Qing and Ximen blowing snow

There are thousands of chemical products, but the basis of all chemical products is derived from three acids and two alkalis, and soda ash is one of the basic raw materials of the two alkalis.

Da Song Ke does not have a store specializing in selling chemical raw materials, and if you want to buy these, you can only go to a pharmacy.

lime, miscanthus and alkali stone.

The pharmacy apprentice packed his things and looked at Wang Xiao suspiciously, thinking that this person didn't look like a Taoist priest in alchemy.

In addition to being used as raw materials, these things bought by Wang Xiao were also regarded as materials used by Taoist priests for alchemy. At this time, Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was the Song Huizong who invented the thin gold body. He admired Taoism, and even cultivated the Tao himself to seek immortality. Naturally, the entire Daomen of the Great Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and even with the alchemy technology, it also took off.

"The prosperity of commerce and trade in the Great Song Dynasty is really not covered." Walking out of the pharmacy with his things, Wang Xiao looked at the bustling streets around him and sighed with emotion: "An ordinary small county town is so prosperous, I really don't know how lively Bianliang Tokyo City is." Maybe it's the magic capital of this era. ”

sighed a few words, and Wang Xiao returned to Wu Dalang's home with the raw materials.

No matter how prosperous the world is, it can't withstand the invasion of barbarians. In a few years, the Jin people in the north will march south with butcher knives, burning all the prosperity in the boundless sea of blood.

Wang Xiao thought about it and put this thought aside, this is just an ordinary task world. If he were to be a savior in every world, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?

The most important thing is who does what is not good.

When he returned home, Wu Dalang had not returned, and Pan Jinlian was also out and not at home. Wang Xiao threw off his arms and got busy.

These things can be used to refine soda ash and also process baking soda. And with alkali and baking soda, you can make white flour steamed buns without a sour taste.

The catering culture of the Great Song Dynasty is very developed, and even stir-fried dishes were developed in this era. Compared to the previous dynasty, which only boiled and roasted, it can be described as a cross-stage progress.

There are a variety of food stalls here. For example, crispy qiong leaves, ring cakes, Yunying noodles and all kinds of salt-fried noodles, shredded chicken noodles, three fresh noodles, all kinds of moon cakes, vegetable cakes, hibiscus cakes, cooked meat cakes, baked cakes, all kinds of bean soup, braised plum water, papaya water, kumquat dumplings, perilla drink, all kinds of crab soup, Baiwei Yun soup, mixed color soup, duck soup, bone soup, all kinds of sugar, nectar, cake, wrapped in orange red paste, Wangkouxiao, and many other delicious dishes and snacks.

Take steamed bread as an example, there are mutton steamed buns, bamboo shoots, steamed buns, fish meat steamed buns, sugar meat steamed buns, steamed steamed buns and so on.

Northerners love to eat pasta, and they have an advantage over Jiangnan in terms of economy and population.

But the pasta they made was sour and yellow, not only the taste was astringent, but it was also hard to look at.

If Wang Xiao launches a snow-white and fluffy white flour steamed bun at this time, without that sour taste, the guests will definitely choose the side where the color and flavor are dominant.

Wang Xiao also thought about giving Wu Dalang money directly, but he also knew that it was impossible to give money by really giving money, and Wu Dalang had no confidence in front of Pan Jinlian.

Even if this industry is done, Wang Xiao can't take it away, so he simply gives it to Wu Dalang to complete the task.

Around rich men, no matter how ugly and short they are, they will be surrounded by beautiful women.

When Wu Dalang has his own industry, Pan Jinlian will definitely find out the benefits of his husband. It's like being a good person, and you're all about yourself.

These benefits are not found now, and that is because Wu Dalang has no money yet.

Anyone who has taken a chemistry class knows that lime is calcium oxide, and it has been tested on the exam paper. However, alkali stone and miscanthus are more professional.

Soda stone is trona, and the chemical composition is sodium bicarbonate. The chemical composition of miscanthus is calcium sulfate decahydrate. All are raw materials that can be easily obtained in this era.

Wang Xiao directly set up a pot in the courtyard, boiled it over a fire and began to refine it in a primitive way.

The caustic soda in the three acids and two alkalis is the best, as long as the trona is boiled into a liquid and the lime is processed.

It's just that caustic soda is very corrosive, and of course it can't be used in food. However, it can also be used to make other chemical products.

The refining of soda ash was a bit troublesome, but when Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian went home, they finally got it out.

"Brother, what are you doing? Isn't Mo alchemy? ”

I saw smoke in my yard and a pungent smell in the air. Wu Dalang's first reaction was Wang Xiao, this is alchemy.

Wang Xiao, who was wearing a homemade mask, waved his hand and responded, "Big brother, don't worry, I'll tell you when there is a result." ”

was busy until it was dark, and Wang Xiao finally made soda ash. With soda ash, baking soda is very simple, and that's what he needs in the end. This should be the first chemical food additive in this era.

Finally made baking soda experimentally, Wang Xiao finally took off his mask with a sigh of relief, took on the silver two jiaozi and went out to the restaurant to drink with his colleagues.

Before leaving, he told Wu Dalang not to touch these things, because it was very dangerous.

Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian didn't know chemistry or alchemy, but they could see the smoke and the pungent smell. Not to mention Wang Xiao's instructions, even if Wang Xiao took the initiative to let them touch it, he probably wouldn't have the guts.

"Second Uncle Mo is not a Taoist priest?" Pan Jinlian couldn't help but ask.

"He's been gone for more than a year, and I don't know what he's doing out there." Wu Dalang covered his nose, wondering what the hell Wang Xiao was doing. If it was really alchemy, the movement would be so big, maybe it would really be refined.

In the best restaurant in Yanggu County, Wang Xiao and the county's fast-catching scribes, and the leading figures in the Xiang army talked about wine.

Don't look at these people as small officials who don't enter the stream, but it is inevitable that Wang Xiao will have to deal with them if he wants to do business.

They are all local snakes in the county, and some people have even worked in the yamen for generations. I really want to block you, it can disgust you.

"The little brother has just arrived, and I hope you will help me a lot in the future." Wang Xiao took a sip of the wine glass.

The alcohol in the Song Dynasty was not high, Wang Xiao drank it very heroically, and everyone around him naturally applauded.

"Don't worry, your business will be our business in the future."

"It's all good for a good amount of wine, and then it's full."

"In the future, there are orders, and I will wait to go to the soup and fight the fire!"

It's all old fritters, and if it's slippery, it's a good thing to come when you open your mouth.

Wang Xiao laughed, "I brought some local products from other places, and please laugh." If you don't accept it, you won't give me face! ”

As a souvenir wrapped in broken silver and Jiaozi was pushed in front of everyone, the faces of these old fritters could be regarded as showing a real smile, rather than the previous hypocrisy.

Everyone put away the souvenirs, and it was very lively to push the cup and change the lamp.

Wang Xiao, who was fighting wine, heard the sound from outside the box, and the second child of the restaurant hospitalized the guests and said something to the Ximen officials, please.

In Yanggu County, who is known as the Ximen Daguan, who else can there be besides Ximen Qingna.

Pan Jinlian's matter is not easy to solve, because if the poor life cannot be improved, even if there is no Ximen Qing, there will be Ximen blowing snow, Ximen leopard or something.

But Ximenqing is much simpler, just solve it directly.

However, Wang Xiao is not easy to start at will. Fortunately, he already had a belly case before he came, and now that he has encountered it, of course he can't let it go.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand heavily, Wang Xiao got up and pushed the door and walked out.

"Which one is Ximenqing?"

Ximen Qing, who was calling for wind and rain in Yanggu County, was stunned when he heard this, there are still people in this county who dare to argue with him?

Suspiciously, he turned to look at Wang Xiao, and his expression suddenly froze.

He recognized Wang Xiao, and as a householder, he also gave a reward for fighting tigers. There were a lot of people in the county government that day, and Wang Xiao didn't recognize him, but Ximenqing remembered this fierce man who could kill the tiger with his bare hands.

"It turns out that the head is here, I don't know what is the matter with calling a certain family?" Thinking of the tiger whose head was deflated, Ximenqing had to squeeze out a smile and salute Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at Ximenqing, and I have to say that this guy is really good enough to make a woman throw herself into her arms.

is tall enough, and because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has a strong body, and he is definitely not the kind of thin scholar like willow and wind.

The face is like a crown of jade, and the eyes are full of peach blossoms. It's a very tasteful smile, a proper little white face.

Coupled with the money in his hand, the image of the rich and handsome man who made the woman scream suddenly jumped in front of him.

Ximen Qing secretly watched his attention, because he felt an extremely strong oppressive aura from Wang Xiao's body. His hand even tried to touch the dagger in his shoe cover.

"Simon Official." Wang Xiao's momentum changed, and he stepped forward with a smile and hugged Ximenqing's stiff shoulders, "I have long heard of the name of the Ximen officials, and it just so happens that my colleagues are partying, so let's come together." ”

Ximenqing instinctively wanted to refuse, because there was always a voice in his heart warning that Wang Xiao had bad intentions towards him.

But when I heard that it was a gathering of colleagues, I was subconsciously stunned. Then he was pulled into the box by Wang Xiao.

Seeing that many of the leading figures in Yanggu County were there, I couldn't leave now. He Ximen Qing can get along in Yanggu County, and the relationship with these local snakes must be well established.

"Come on, come on." Wang Xiao raised his wine glass, "For the Ximen officials, everyone drinks!" ”

They were all acquaintances, and they quickly got together. The sound of fist claming is endless.

Wang Xiao held the wine glass and squinted at Ximenqing, who was red-faced and red-eared, and was fighting with people. All kinds of thoughts flickered in his heart, arranging the fate of Simon's officials.

Ximenqing, who was drinking, turned his head to look over, and when he wanted to have a drink with Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao's face was already full of smiles.

"Ximen official, you and I are familiar at first sight, and we will drink."

Drunkenly came out of the restaurant, and Wang Xiao, who had made an appointment with everyone to meet again next time, walked leisurely towards Zishi Street.

It is said that the Great Song Dynasty is rich, and this is really not nonsense.

The former Tang Dynasty has always been known as the Tang Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were a few small civilian households that could afford to light oil lamps at night.

Oil is used to light oil lamps, and oil is not cheap in any era, at least tens of dollars a tael.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, even in the small county seat of Yanggu County. Wang Xiao walked all the way, and saw at least one-third of the people's homes lighting up on the road.

"It's so prosperous here, if it were Bianliang, Tokyo, wouldn't it be a real city that never sleeps."

Wang Xiao drank a lot, and his mind fell on the sea of Jingkang's blood and the poignant emperor.

"Forget it, it's my business. Let's get the white-flour steamed buns out first. ”
