Chapter 81: The Great Cause of Candles I
Yan Yan returned to the car, and talked about what he saw before and after with relish, and Yan Su was dumbfounded when he listened.
"Brother Muzhi, you are really a god, where did you find this eminent monk?" Yan asked with a happy face.
"What a monk, it's just some tricks. Are you serious? Zhang Mu said disdainfully.
Blinked harshly and asked, "Little trick in the rivers and lakes?" Tell me about it. ”
Zhang Mu said in a rambling voice: "When I ordered Tao Xingchang that day, weren't you also there?" I instructed Tao Xingchang to come to their house to make the wind and rain, just to pave the way for the appearance of this old bald donkey today. Then there is really some god, Buddha, who has lived so much, and there is no one for me to meet. ”
"However, when you hunt ghosts, you are fried ghosts, you are slashing demons with swords, and you are practicing ghosts with fire and water, you did all this?" Yan Su looked confused and asked curiously, the girl's family is still more interested in these gods and ghosts than men.
"You didn't notice that these props for the practice were all prepared by Tao Xingchang in advance. There are actually two ways to fry the little devil, one way is to put borax in the oil, and when the borax encounters a little heat, it will produce bubbles. It was like a frying pan boiling. Unfortunately, I couldn't find borax, so I used the second option. Zhang Mu smiled proudly.
"What's the solution?" Yan Du was stunned and hurriedly asked.
Zhang Mu said with a smile: "Put vinegar under the pot, put oil on the top of the vinegar, due to the high density of vinegar, it moves upwards when heated, and it looks no different from oil, in fact, the temperature is still very low, it is no problem to take a bath, and the fried stick is almost." Didn't you smell sour? ”
Yan Yan suddenly realized: "I said, why is there a sour smell of vinegar, it turns out that this is the case." Then I ask you, then why is there a ghost screaming in the oil pot? ”
"This is even simpler, Huikong old bald donkey put the bones into the oil pot, the bones are processed in advance, there is mercury in it, the mercury will split when it is heated, and the bones will roll in the oil pot, and it will be like a ghost screaming when you hear it." Zhang Mu said with a smile.
stern thumbs up and said, "I heard my father say earlier that the ancients deceived and divided into bees, sparrows, and birds, how did you know this?" ”
"Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you won't be afraid to go all over the world." Zhang Mu said with a smile.
When Yan Yan was still pondering what this mathematical, physical and chemical thing was, Yan Su was about to break the casserole and asked, "That, how did that sword slash demon and water and fire practice ghost do it?" ”
"The yellow table paper used to slash the demon is soaked in alkaline water, and after drying, it looks the same as the general yellow table paper at first glance, but when you spray it with turmeric water, the alkaline water and turmeric water will react and turn red, looking at the blood, in fact, it is all fake."
Zhang Mu paused and continued: "As for practicing ghosts with water and fire, it is actually simpler. I found some sodashi from those White Lotus Sect rebels, which the White Lotus Bandit Sect used to deceive the common people. Sodastone will burn when it encounters water, the simplest chemical principle, the common people do not understand, thinking that it is a great power. As for the basin of water that turned into blood water, it was a reason to react with the sword slashing demon with alkaline water and turmeric water to turn red. ”
"Okay, you let Tao Xingchang make a ghost first, and then take advantage of the panic of the Wang family, the heavenly generals will be immortals, and coax Wang Yuanwai to marry his daughter to my brother. Why are you so bad-hearted? Yan Su said angrily.
"See if you are wronged or not? Isn't this here to help Brother Shaodui, what? Afraid that Miss Wang will marry into your family and become your sister-in-law and bully you? Zhang Mu said with a smile.
Yan Su's pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and he turned around with the broken water flow and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
Zhang Mu likes to see her shyness the most, coughs sternly and deliberately twice, and tells Zhang Mu that my eldest brother is still there, don't ** my sister in front of me, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Then what should I do next?" ”
"You don't have to do anything, just wait at home, and in a few days this king will go to your house to propose. When the time comes, you say that you won't marry, and he will not cry and shout to marry you. Put 10,000 hearts, I'm still waiting here to drink your wine. Zhang Mu said with a smile.
Yan Yan was young in the end, and when he thought of being able to marry his sweetheart forever, he just giggled along the way, and Zhang Mu and Yan Su, who saw it, laughed and said nothing.
Back at home, the little servants carried Zhang Mu back to the house, the old patriarch was in the long house, and then saw that Zhang Mu was also a good ruler, so he was relieved to go back.
Now there is only one master in Zhang Mu, and Wang Hongtai's family still lives here.
Zhang Mu first went to Wang Hongtai to say goodbye, and then returned to the bedroom.
Lying on the bed, the doctor waited for the dressing to be changed, and Zhang Mu didn't say a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been driving from Yifeng Township for seven or eight days, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been calm for the past two days, except for officials at all levels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to visit in turn, Zhang Mu basically recuperated from his injuries and studied, and his life was very leisurely.
However, Zhang Mu knew that this kind of good life would not last long, and when Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree of reward arrived, he didn't know what would happen.
At this moment, Zhang Wenguang hurriedly came in, Zhang Wenguang is actually the same generation as Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu's generation is a literary generation, Zhang Wen, Zhang Ao, Zhang Mu, his father's generation is a fire generation, Zhang Ran, Zhang Chi, his grandfather is a generation of clothes, Zhang ?, Zhang Crack, etc.
Although Zhang Wenguang was promoted by Aunt Zhou, he was kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have secretly helped Zhang Mu at the beginning, so Zhang Mu left him behind.
Since the opening of Yirenfang, Zhang Wenguang has admired Zhang Mu's five-body throw, these days looking at the person who is detecting flaws, which one is not a trembling member in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? The slave is the master, so he naturally respects Zhang Mu more.
Watching Zhang Mu change the medicine, he held the account book in his hand and stood on the side with his head down.
I waited for the doctor to change the medicine and go out, and then said: "Young master, this is the account of Yirenfang these days, and now the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang members have ordered people to buy from us, which can really be described as a daily progress." In addition, I have ordered the workshop to be broken down, and it is estimated that it will be completed in two months. The acres of land recovered from Zhang Ao have been handed over to the village leaders to take care of. The lime kiln you ordered me to build was opened very smoothly yesterday. Also, the ceramic ware you asked me to make has been fired and is on its way back. ”
"I won't read the account book, I don't worry about you doing things. Did the blue alum I ordered you buy arrive? Zhang Mu asked, blue alum is the most successful material for making sulfuric acid under the current conditions, and only with sulfuric acid can there be hydrochloric acid, and only then can there be large-scale production of cheap candles.
"The small one has already bought all the gallium from all the pharmacies in Jinhua Mansion, and ordered a few other companies to deal with it, they said that the gallium is produced in Yunnan, and I have asked them to buy it on a large scale." Zhang Wenguang replied.
Blue alum has the ability to induce vomiting, derotting and detoxifying; The effect of curing wind and phlegm congestion, laryngeal paralysis, epilepsy, tooth scabies, mouth sores, rotten string wind eyes, hemorrhoids, and swelling and poison has always been a traditional Chinese medicine, Zhang Mu said: "You go down first, wait for our ceramic utensils to arrive, and notify me in time." ”
Zhang Wenguang didn't know what Zhang Mu was going to do, but he felt that what the owner was going to do was right, so he bowed back and retreated at the moment.
Zhang Mu said with a smile: "The widow's candle cause is about to begin. ”
