Chapter 61: It's All Silver

Chen Ge didn't know the turmoil in their hearts, and looked at Steward Xu and said: "At present, there is no problem with the still, the prince should have handed over the method of alcohol refining to you, and we will try the actual refining later, if there is no problem, we can carry out mass production."

If there are any follow-up questions and progress, if Manager Xu doesn't have time, he can let He come and tell me. ”

Steward Xu couldn't help but bow deeply and said, "Yes, madam." ”

Even he still has doubts about this woman's words, but he admires her heart and bearing.

It's no wonder that the Lord Guild loves this lady so much!

Next, Chen Ge followed Steward Xu through the process of alcohol refining, because Chen Ge had told him in advance that Steward Xu had already prepared the raw materials for distillation.

Seeing that a small half barrel of alcohol had been refined in just one afternoon, Chen Ge couldn't help but be secretly excited, this is all silver! O silver with white flowers!

She persuaded Wei Yuan to mass-produce medical alcohol this time, but in fact, she also had a little selfishness, she had too little money to open a store, and she had to pick and search for everything.

It's good now, she saved a lot of money to build a still, and when the epidemic passes, she borrows this still from Wei Yuan, he won't be so stingy and not lend it to her, right?

She couldn't help but look at Steward Xu with a smile: "There is no problem with the appliance itself, just remember to pay attention to the mastery of the heat when refining, this kind of ...... Well, the refining of the liquor used to ward off filth should not be too hot. ”

The temperature of the ethanol liquid in equilibrium with the vapor is 77°C to 79°C, and if the temperature is too high, the ethanol will evaporate too quickly, and finally only a puddle of clear water remains.

Steward Xu looked at the pure and transparent liquid in the barrel that exuded a strong smell of wine, and said yes with some hesitation.

It's not that he doesn't want to believe Madame, but it's really beyond his knowledge! This thing, he thought, that it would be enough to overcome smallpox, and that it would be quite suitable for preparing a few side dishes to drink.

It's just that Mrs. said that this thing must not be drunk, and if you drink it, you will die, and Steward Xu immediately cleared the thoughts in his mind.

Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's time to go back." ”

Originally, the lord told his wife to come over and go back immediately after the inspection, but he didn't expect that after the lady finished the inspection, he also pulled Steward Xu to do something that he couldn't understand at all, and it was at this time!

The guards wept silently, lord, it's not that the subordinates don't want the lady to go back, but the lady doesn't want the subordinates at all!

Chen Ge looked at the guard's anxious expression and was about to cry, raised the corners of his lips funny, nodded and said, "The matter here is over, go back." ”

It's just that before leaving, He Yao, who had been silent since Fang Cai, walked in front of her, frowned slightly, and said, "Madam, the villain has something to say to you." ”

Chen Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the solemn glance between his eyebrows, and led him to a secluded place, saying, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know if Mrs. Tao knows Doctor Tao in the barracks," He Yao hesitated for a moment and said: "Dr. Tao is often invited to the barracks to see the soldiers, our workshop is near the barracks, and the villain often sees Dr. Tao passing in front of our workshop these days." ”

Chen Ge naturally knew Dr. Tao, he was the steward she had seen in Laiyang to manage a group of military doctors, and he had a share of the moon group she sent during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that he is not Wei Yuan's subordinate, in this era, the military has not been specially trained for war, and they only ask for doctors from the city when necessary, Dr. Tao has a small medical hall of his own, but half of his work is to see the soldiers in the barracks.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Since the workshop is near the barracks, it's normal for Doctor Tao to pass by here." ”

"On the surface, it's normal," He Yao suddenly lowered his voice and said: "It's just that in the past, he often went to the barracks to see the soldiers, but he never passed by our workshop, but during this time, he passed by frequently, and the villain felt strange in his heart, so he asked someone to inquire." ”

Chen Ge was stunned for a moment, and then heard the man in front of him frown slightly: "Only then did I know that from Dr. Tao's house to the barracks, he would not pass through our workshop at all, he obviously deliberately took a long detour!" ”

Chen Ge's eyes couldn't help but sink slightly.

"What's even more weird is that," He Yao's brows furrowed even tighter, as if he was recalling something terrible, and said slowly: "Once the villain stayed up late with a few partners to catch up with work, and when he was halfway through the work, he inadvertently looked up, but saw half a person's head poking out of the window supported by the workshop, and he was staring at us with a pair of round eyes!"

Although it was late at night, with the help of the lamp in the workshop, the villain still recognized that it was Dr. Tao!

The villain immediately asked what he was doing, but Dr. Tao did not panic, and said with a smile on his face that he saw the lights of the workshop on the way home, so he took a curious look.

Because he had a very good attitude, we didn't embarrass him, so we let him go, but ......"

He paused, and Chen Ge frowned slightly: "It's just that you still think it's a little weird, but so?" ”

He Yao nodded and said, "Yes, Madame Mingcha." ”

Chen Ge couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly, with a pensive expression.

She didn't get along with Tao Sibai for a long time, but she remembered that he was an old man with great enthusiasm for medical skills, and he looked simple and pure.

What was his intention in trying to spy on what they were doing?

"After the villain found out about this, he didn't know who to tell him," He Yao suddenly said again: "The villain is soft-spoken, if there is no evidence, just because of the suspicion in his heart to tell others about this, I am afraid that even Steward Xu will not listen to the villain's words." ”

Chen Ge raised his eyes unconsciously, and saw the man smiling lazily and said, "After telling my wife about this today, the villain only felt much more relaxed." ”

Chen Ge couldn't help but glance at him, "You mean, I'm very good at talking when I look at it, right?" ”

"Naturally not, the villain respects his wife very much." He immediately bowed.

This kid is full of trains, and she believes that he is a ghost.

"That's very good," Chen Gepi didn't smile, "You are smart, then you will keep an eye on it for me, if there is any movement of Dr. Tao, you can come to Yanhou Mansion at any time and tell me, as long as you make your intentions clear, the guards guarding the door will not stop you." ”

There were so many people in the workshop, but he was the only one who noticed Dr. Tao's abnormality, and she really didn't see the wrong person.

He Yao was slightly stunned, stood up straight, and said with a trace of solemnity and forcibly suppressed trance: "Yes, madam." ”

He was but a small craftsman, and Madame thought so highly of him that he would not have dared to think of it if he had been a day ago.

……

After leaving the workshop, the accompanying guards asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to go down and find out what Doctor Tao's intentions are?" ”

Chen Ge couldn't help but look at him with some surprise.

As a guard sent by Wei Yuan, he couldn't help but be too kind to her, right?

The guard immediately said: "Madame Xu is not clear, the lord has already assigned his subordinates and Lin Yi to Madame, and Madame can call her subordinates at any time if she needs it." ”

Chen Ge was slightly stunned, she didn't expect this.

Hearing the guard say the name of the other guard who was traveling with him, Chen Ge couldn't help but glance at him and asked tentatively, "Then what is your name?" ”

"The subordinate's name is Lin Er!"

“……”

Listening to their names, you will know that this is 100% Wei Yuan's person, Lin is his mother's surname, and it will not be in addition to Lin Yi and Lin Er, there will be Lin Sanlin, Lin Wulin, and Lin Liu.

Chen Ge looked at the sky silently, this man was really unexpectedly lazy and casual in this regard.

Seeing that Lin Er was still looking at her, waiting for her to reply, Chen Ge shook his head and said, "No need, when I go back, I will discuss it with the prince first." ”

This matter, I am afraid that it is not simple, and Wei Yuan needs to personally investigate.

Moreover, although Wei Yuan allocated them to her, it happened suddenly, and she didn't know anything about them, and she couldn't use them.

Seeing that Lin Er suddenly responded with a disappointed face, Chen Ge raised the corners of his mouth amusedly, and suddenly felt that the person Wei Yuan dialed over was quite cute.

Chen Ge went back to the mansion to discuss with Wei Yuan about Dr. Tao, but she didn't expect that as soon as she returned to the Hou Mansion, she saw the little maid in the mansion hurriedly preparing something.

The last time I went back to the mansion was when Wei Yuan suddenly wanted to come back from Pingzhou.

She suddenly had a hint of foreboding in her heart, and pulled a small servant and asked in a deep voice, "What happened in the house?" ”

When the little servant saw her, he immediately stopped what he was doing, saluted respectfully, and said, "Madam, the lord will leave for Changzhou tomorrow morning, and the slave is making preparations for the lord's trip." ”

From Jizhou to Changzhou, it takes at least five days each way, and the news came down late, which caused everyone to be in a hurry.

Tomorrow?!

Chen Ge looked stunned, obviously Ling Fang had told her earlier that Wei Yuan would not go to Changzhou until fifteen days later, and it had only been ten days since then.

Something must have happened!

Chen Ge frowned and thought for a while, then grabbed a small servant and asked where Wei Yuan was, and then went straight to Wei Yuan's study.
