75, Wu Zheng's laboratory
Zhao Qiao'er's arrival made the Supreme Gang a little more angry, watching a cute little Lori running around the yard, Ma San and Hu Meng had a lot more smiles on their faces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBoth of them are in their forties and have not yet married a wife and had children, so they like it when they see the lively and lovely Zhao Qiaoer.
Ding Yueming also likes this little sister very much, and often changes her tricks to tie her hair, today it is a flowing cloud bun, tomorrow it is a flying fairy bun, and the day after tomorrow it is a double flat bun...... Wu Zheng felt that she was a manifestation of the overflow of maternal love. Only when Lan Xiangyu looked at Zhao Qiao'er, her eyes were meaningful.
In the past few days, Wu Zheng has been locking himself in the hut he calls a "laboratory", eating and living in it. In order to keep it secret, Wu Zheng strictly forbade anyone to approach, and even drew a cordon.
Occasionally, there was a rush of bells from the laboratory, Ma San immediately put down the things in his hand and hurriedly ran to the door of the laboratory, and it didn't take long for Wu Zheng to hand him a piece of paper from inside, which wrote the things he needed to use in the experiment, and asked Ma San to buy it as soon as possible.
Watching Ma San leave in a hurry, Ding Yueming looked at the laboratory with a worried face, she hadn't seen Wu Zheng for several days, the laboratory suddenly caught fire a few days ago, but fortunately it was extinguished in time, so it didn't cause a big disaster, I really don't know what he was doing inside. Lan Xiangyu saw her worries and comforted her with a smile: "Sister don't worry, what happened last time was just an accident, and my husband has always been measured." ”
Ding Yueming nodded slowly, but the worry on his face did not decrease. Zhao Qiao'er stood beside Ding Yueming with the little flower cat given to her by Xiao Yu'er, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Hmph, I don't come out when I hide in it every day, and I am not allowed to go out to play, I am almost suffocated!" In fact, she was also very curious, what kind of unsightly thing did this bad guy do hiding inside? Seeing that Ding Yueming was so worried, she had a plan and said with a grin: "Sister-in-law, your martial arts are so good, why don't we go and take a look secretly!" ”
Ding Yue was really moved, but she was afraid of angering Wu Zheng, so she shook her head and refused. Zhao Qiao'er looked at Lan Xiangyu without giving up, Lan Xiangyu was calm on the surface, but she secretly winked at her. Zhao Qiaoer was overjoyed, and she was still the second sister-in-law's temper with her.
In the smoky laboratory, Wu Zheng, dressed in a homemade lab coat and mask, stares intently at a clay basin heated over a fire with white charcoal ash (hydrated lime) and ash mixed with water as he makes caustic soda.
It has failed more than a dozen times, and I hope it will succeed this time, Wu Zheng prayed in his heart. I remember reading a time-traveling novel in which the protagonist goes to a merchant's house to work as a housekeeper, and then develops a series of goods such as soap and perfume, and makes a lot of money. So he also wanted to follow the example of others, but unfortunately it was not easy to operate in practice. There are many materials that not only need to be developed in-house, but also the proportions of various formulations need to be adjusted a little bit. As a result, I was so busy that I didn't even see the shadow of soap.
"Third Brother Lin, bless me!" This is the last bit of material, Wu Zheng's spirit is highly nervous, holding a wooden stick and constantly stirring in the clay basin. Feeling that it was almost enough, he hurriedly poured the vegetable oil and rouge powder prepared on the side into it slowly, and then continued to stir until the two were completely mixed and thickened. Slowly pour the dark yellow liquid into the prepared mold, and then put it in a ventilated place protected from light, if it goes well, the first soap soap in Dahua will come out in a few days.
Although it was popular in Dahua before, a method of mashing and grinding natural honey locusts and then adding various medicinal petal powders to make a spherical shape for washing the face and bathing the body. Or directly steam the honey locust in water, add medicinal petals, and soak in a bath. But it is very inconvenient to use and relatively expensive.
The soap making process is simple and inexpensive, which has great advantages over natural honey locust powder. Therefore, Wu Zheng has no doubt about the sensational effect of soap, and when people get used to this fragrant and smooth thing, they will never be able to do without it again.
Two little heads appeared on the window of the laboratory, and Zhao Qiao'er asked softly, "Second sister-in-law, what is my brother doing?" It smells so good. Lan Xiangyu was also confused, she guessed: "It smells like rouge, is it making rouge-flavored incense powder?" This kind of thing has been around for a long time, so why do you want to do it? ”
Suddenly, Wu Zheng's face appeared in front of them, causing the two of them to scream in fright. Wu Zheng asked with a straight face, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you say don't go near here! He looked at Lan Xiangyu: "And you, why did you bring this little girl too?" Lan Xiangyu stuck out her little tongue and said aggrievedly: "Xiangyu and Qiao'er are worried that their husbands are too tired, so they can't help but come to visit, Xiangyu knows that they are wrong, please punish ...... husbands" Looking at Lan Xiangyu's pitiful expression, Wu Zheng sighed helplessly, where was he willing to punish her.
Zhao Qiao'er pouted and pleaded: "Uncle Ma said that today is the Lantern Festival, there are lanterns to watch at night, brother, you have been here for five or six days, take us out to see the lanterns tonight." ”
After Zhao Qiao'er said this, Wu Zheng realized that he really hadn't gone out for several days, and even forgot about the days. Anyway, the soap has been made and is just waiting for the result, and it is useless to stay here by yourself, so it is better to go out with everyone to see the excitement and relax.
Seeing that Wu Zheng agreed, Zhao Qiaoer cheered and ran to find Ding Yueming. Lan Xiangyu took Wu Zheng's arm and asked with a smile, "Husband, what are you doing?" Wu Zheng pretended to be mysterious and said: "When my experiment is successful, I will tell you." ”
The night is low, and the stars and moon are high. The lively Lantern Festival has begun, and the streets are brightly lit and full of pedestrians. Savvy businessmen have set up stalls on the street to sell their wares, and the scene seems to be a little more lively than the daytime.
Wu Zheng took the two ladies and the little Lori, followed by Ma San, Hu Meng, Liu Banxian, Uncle Li, Thin Monkey and other groups in the bustling crowd, taking a walk and admiring the lanterns. Lan Xiangyu and Ding Yueming rarely go out shopping, one was controlled by Mei Renxing, and the other was alone in the black shop and didn't dare to come out all day long. They thought everything they saw was fresh and interesting, and they would look around the stall for a while, and then comment on a certain product in front of the store.
Wu Zheng was not in a hurry, he just stood aside and looked at these two beauties with a smile, and his heart was sweet. On the other side, Ma San and Hu Meng were holding a string of sugar gourds alone, and one person was holding a rattle and followed closely behind Zhao Qiaoer, for fear that she would fall and get lost. They love Zhao Qiaoer so much not only because she is Wu Zheng's "cousin", but also because they really like this little girl very much, and they treat her as their own daughter.
Liu Banxian took advantage of the time when Uncle Li and the thin monkey went to watch an entertainer perform acrobatics, walked quickly to Wu Zheng's side, and said in a low voice: "Have you noticed that the situation has been a little wrong recently." Wu Zheng asked strangely: "What's wrong, I think everything is normal...... Liu Banxian shook his head: "Do you remember the night you got drunk in Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”
Wu Zheng was suddenly shocked in his heart, indeed, he was so drunk that night that he was even unconscious, which was a situation that had never been seen before. Liu Banxian continued: "This game has a player protection mechanism, and the truth of all perceptions is only about 20%. But I realize that it seems to have changed ...... now."
Wu Zheng frowned: "You mean...... Wang Yansheng? Liu Banxian nodded and said, "Yes, only he has the authority to do this kind of thing, but I really don't understand what he wants to do...... Last time, the dead eunuch named Guo Huai said that we were all his hostages, but after he changed the realism to a higher level, the player's chance of death will be greatly increased. What's in it for players if they're all dead? ”
Regarding Wang Yansheng's strange behavior, Wu Zheng can only understand that this person has gone completely crazy.
"Wow, what a big, beautiful paper kite, I want it!" Suddenly the voice of the little Lori Zhao Qiaoer came from the distance, Wu Zheng followed the prestige, and saw Zhao Qiaoer standing in front of a shop, pointing to a paper kite in the shape of a flower and butterfly hanging inside, and asking Ma San and Hu Meng to buy it for her. The shopkeeper, a tall man in his thirties, smiled and shook his head and said, "Little doll, this paper kite is not for sale, but if you guess three riddles correctly in a row, I will give you this paper kite, and you only need to pay ten copper plates for each riddle." ”
The owner of this shop is really good at business, and a paper kite is worth up to 30 copper plates, but in this way, the profit will be multiplied several times. It seems that this boss is very confident in his lantern riddles, and he doesn't know what lantern riddles he has prepared, so Wu Zheng, driven by curiosity, also walked to the front of this shop.
