Section 18 Turning waste into treasure

The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

"Yun Niang, is the dog asleep?"

The weather gradually got cooler and colder, Li Sanfu took the pieces of cloth cut from shabby clothes and touched his feet and asked his mother-in-law. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Well, after a day of wild life with a few children next door, I was already sleepy and fell asleep as soon as I went to bed. Alas! ”

When it comes to children, the Li family's eyes are slightly red, and her face is a little sad, and the original three children are now only the nine-year-old second child.

The twelve-year-old boss was lost looking for food on the road, but there was still a thought in him. The five-year-old third child starved to death in her arms, which made people feel desolate when they had nothing to love.

"Looking ahead, the difficulties will soon pass. Since God has given us a way to live, then we have to raise the dog. ”

Li Sanfu's heart is also uncomfortable, but as a man, he must be strong to comfort his daughter-in-law.

Exiled all the way, no one in every family is complete, what a world!

"What does it have to do with the thief, God doesn't care about the life or death of the poor, it's not Qin Engong who helps. I don't know what Qin Engong will ask us to do tomorrow, and Steward Fu didn't make it clear in the afternoon. ”

When it comes to her future life, the Li family's eyes are lively, and her tone is much more relaxed and bright.

"Anyway, what the owner says we do. You also wash your feet with hot water, which is good for your body. ”

Li Sanfu is an honest and honest person, not good at words. It is very good for the daughter-in-law, and I pour out the water from the footbasin, bring new hot water from the kitchen, and put it on the ground considerately.

Ordinary people play house, and the picture is that both sides know the cold and the hot.

"Don't be like this, it's not good for my mother to see it."

The lady of the Li family is very sweet in her heart, but she maintains her husband's dignity in her mouth.

"I feel like I'm dreaming, living in such a nice house and eating white rice for three meals a day. I never thought of such a day before, and when San'er went, I wanted to ......"

Soaking in hot boiling water and scalding your feet is quite comfortable. The lady of the Li family remembered the days when life was worse than death in the past, and the contrast between the front and the back was too great, so that she couldn't help but feel sad, and the tears in the corners of her eyes slowly flowed.

Li Sanfu sniffed the new house that still smelled of earth, and could feel the joy of his daughter-in-law in his heart.

This is a three-bedroom, one-living room and a kitchen, with a small courtyard at the door, a typical Jiangnan farmhouse structure.

The rain in spring, the heat in summer, the frost in autumn, and the bitter cold in winter all depend on it to block it.

When they fled south, they didn't have any ideas, where to go where there was food, how could they have thought about today.

Drinking water does not forget the well diggers, today's hard-won life is provided by Qin Engong in the mouth of his daughter-in-law.

He Li Sanfu is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and every bit is hidden in his heart.

Working hard for the owner, being anxious about what the owner is anxious about, and thinking about what the owner thinks, is the only thing he can do at present.

The next day, after breakfast, everyone gathered in the newly built workshop.

100 kilograms of camellia oil, 50 kilograms of alkaline noodles, 200 kilograms of butter, 100 kilograms of quicklime, more than a dozen large wooden barrels, worth 15 taels of silver, all the waste in Zhang Yun's eyes was also moved to the workshop.

What Qin Haoming wants to do is very simple, he doesn't need to carry his hands on his shoulders or sweat like rain to compete for strength, and it has nothing to do with age or gender.

Except for the seven children and the three women who were in charge of cooking, the remaining dozen or so people were all gathered together by Qin Haoming.

"Dagui, Sanfu, and Yousan, you go and pick up well water and fill the two water cellars."

"Fang Xi went to weigh three catties of butter, eight taels of alkaline noodles and five taels of lime for backup."

"Come on, you guys line up the buckets, don't crowd them in a heap later."

Qin Haoming is completely a hands-off shopkeeper, methodically ordering everyone to do their things one by one.

The workshop was empty, with five large wooden barrels lined up in sequence. Qin Haoming let Dagui, who had already picked up the water, pour it into the big wooden barrel, which was half full.

"Let's see how I do it, this is your job in the future, if you don't understand it, I'll ask when I'm done."

Qin Haoming poured five taels of quicklime into the water and stirred it with a wooden stick.

Everyone knows that the house is used to paint the walls, and the snow white is beautiful.

Of course, in Qin Haoming's eyes, this is calcium hydroxide solution, that is, the chemical reactant of hydrated lime, water and quicklime. During the reaction, heat is generated to heat up the water.

"Stay away a little and be careful not to splash the water, the water will be poisonous."

Seeing that everyone couldn't take their eyes off for fear of not being able to see their movements clearly, getting closer and closer to the front, Qin Haoming asked them to retreat.

In the next step, the poison is naturally not there, but it is corrosive.

It's just that Qin Haoming doesn't want to explain more, and they may not understand what he says, as long as he arouses their vigilance.

Pour eight taels of alkaline noodles into calcium hydroxide solution, and the violent chemical reaction makes the water boil immediately, and the resulting water mist begins to spread everywhere.

Everyone retreated because they heard Xiucai say that it was poisonous at first, and several women screamed and wanted to run outside the workshop.

When I saw that Qin Engong was just covering his nose with his left hand, he took a big spoon in his right hand and added well water to the wooden barrel to cool the water temperature. I couldn't help but look at it and stepped forward again.

And Qin Haoming didn't seem to pay attention at all, still doing his own thing unhurriedly.

Man has an instinctive fear of the unknown, especially since he said before that it is toxic. In a preconceived situation, it is not surprising that there is such a reaction, human nature, there is no need to be demanding!

On the contrary, everyone saw Qin Haoming's generosity and composure, and they were even more grateful in their hearts, and they were full of confidence in their future life. With such a host, there is no worry!

The workshop is very large, ventilated and exhaust, and cooled by Qin Haoming's cold water, and the water vapor quickly dissipated.

Hydrated lime reacts with alkali surface to produce calcium carbonate and sodium hydroxide solutions. The bucket was so muddy that you couldn't see the bottom of the bucket.

Qin Haoming let them sit for a quarter of an hour, and the calcium carbonate gradually sank to the bottom of the barrel, and a transparent sodium hydroxide solution, commonly known as caustic soda, floated on it.

Filter and analyze the impurities to obtain a small half barrel of caustic soda.

At this point, an epoch-making product, a must-have for making soap, caustic soda was born.

Of course, caustic soda has many uses, but in the early stage, Qin Haoming only wanted to use it to make soap and paper.

Accustomed to the soft and warm toilet paper of later generations, Qin Haoming really can't stand the rough toilet paper now.

The paper industry of the Ming Dynasty has been very developed, and it is used to engrave banknotes, write calligraphy and painting on rice paper, etc., all of which are the best.

But I didn't put some effort into the four most important things in life, eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Sodium hydroxide is used in the process of boiling and bleaching paper pages due to its alkaline properties.

The raw materials for papermaking are wood or grass plants, which contain a considerable amount of non-cellulose (lignin, gum, etc.) in addition to cellulose.

The addition of dilute sodium hydroxide solution can dissolve and separate the non-cellulose components, so as to make a pulp with cellulose as the main component.

Technology changes life, but Qin Haoming plans to use them to make a fortune, and even ......

With the large scale of papermaking, and its polluting nature, soap is undoubtedly simple, lightweight, and more profitable.

Therefore, Qin Haoming regarded the manufacture of soap as the main pillar industry in the early stage, after all, it is closely related to people's lives, with a large amount of water and a long stream.
