Chapter 223
"So it's the chamberlain who died?" In the hall of Zhao's house, Zhao Mingxu, Liuli, Ace, Doctor Luo, and Zhou Xiaoshu were all there, and Liuli finally realized that she might have made a big fuss.
"Hmm." Zhao Mingxu looked at her and nodded seriously.
"Then why did Dr. Luo shout 'Childe, goodbye'?" Liuli looked at Doctor Luo suspiciously.
"Ahem," Doctor Luo touched his nose, "The old man just wants to study it up close." ”
"Childe was afraid of the risk of being infected, so he ordered that Dr. Luo should not be allowed to approach." Archer added.
Glass:......
"What about you? Why are you dressed in white? Why are the people in the house also dressed in white? ”
"Me?" Ah Ce glanced at his clothes, "It's not a white dress, there are patterns on it, you haven't looked carefully." ”
Glass:......
"Is Erniang talking about the person who carries the stretcher?" Doctor Luo said, "Didn't Erniang tell me that many doctors are dressed in white and cover their faces with masks when they treat patients? They carried the dead of the epidemic, so they naturally had to protect themselves, and the white clothes would burn with the sick when they went outside, so it was safer. ”
Glass:......
What to do? It's a shame to be a big deal.
"Erniang is mistaken for a son...... That's why I'm so sad. As if it wasn't enough, Ace added.
The roots of Liuli's ears were crimson, and she suddenly felt that she had no face to see people, and then looked at Zhao Qinghe's eyes that seemed to be smiling at her, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
She put down two packets of soap and hurriedly stood up: "That...... This is soap, you use it, and I will ...... I'll go first. ”
She turned around but was held by Zhao Mingxu and grabbed back, and the man said in a deep voice: "You go down first." ”
Doctor Luo and the others retired with interest, and Ace dragged Zhou Xiaoshu out before leaving.
"Ace!" When he walked to the door, he heard Zhao Mingxu shouting behind him.
Ah Ce turned around, only to listen to his son-in-law's instructions: "Go back and change your clothes." ”
"Poof~" Ace finally couldn't hold back, and as soon as he made a sound, he was glared at by Zhao Mingxu, he quickly held his breath and smiled, and he couldn't be upright anymore: "My subordinates obey orders." ”
After saying that, he quickly exited, and did not forget to bring the door to the two of them.
In the end, only the two of them were left in the room.
The man gently hugged her into his arms: "Liuli, do you know how happy I am today?" ”
"I know", Ruri broke the jar, "you can laugh if you want." ”
"I only learned today that I am such an important existence in your heart." The man's voice was low, and his eyes were deep and serious when he said this.
Liuli was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, her face turned even redder, and she muttered in defense: "I haven't settled accounts with you yet." ”
The man suddenly pulled her closer, and pressed his lips to her ear and asked softly, "What is the account?" I'm right here, and you're ......."
Every time she said a word, there was a warm breath rushing in, Liuli was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but dodge, but the man held her dead and didn't let go: "You say, what kind of account do you want to count?" ”
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
After experiencing just one, although it was found to be a misunderstanding in the end, but at that time, Liuli did think that this person was dead and gone, and now I think about the things I was entangled with before, as if it was not important all of a sudden, and anything would become insignificant in the face of life and death.
Thinking of the scene just now, Liuli was a little worried, although it was not Zhao Qinghe, but there was someone dead in the house. Liuli pulled out of the man's arms slightly: "That person just now, he died of the epidemic?" ”
"Hmm" Zhao Mingxu also straightened up, "Don't worry, Doctor Luo has already asked someone to burn wormwood all over the house to disinfect it, and it will be fine." ”
"The soap I gave you, remember to send it down, let them wash their hands frequently", Liuli advised, "There are many people in your house, and bacteria are more likely to be infected." ”
Zhao Mingxu picked up a piece of soap: "I heard that you made this thing, my glass is smart and capable." ”
"Who's your ......," Ruri muttered embarrassedly, and continued, "You let them cut this into small pieces, and it's easy for everyone to use one piece." ”
Zhao Mingxu nodded and asked, "Is this thing difficult to make?" ”
If it really works, let Su Runfa use it for the people of the whole city.
"It's not difficult to do," Liuli said, "but you need to use the same lard, which is relatively difficult to obtain." ”
"I'll ask someone to find you some", Zhao Mingxu said, "Can you do more, and give it to Su Run when the time comes, and send some to the people in the town." ”
"Okay." Ruri nodded in agreement.
When leaving, Zhao Mingxu brought her a lot of wormwood and asked her to go back to smoke the house.
Liuli and Zhou Xiaoshu just returned home, Pearl happened to be cooking, and when she saw the two of them coming back from outside, she asked casually: "Where did you go?" ”
It was an ordinary sentence, but Liuli was a thief, and she became nervous: "Ah? Not...... Didn't go anywhere. ”
"Send some soap to a friend." Zhou Xiaoshu hurriedly added.
"Oh," Pearl didn't suspect him, but just admonished, "remember to be careful." ”
Seeing the wormwood in Liuli's hand again, he was slightly surprised: "Why are there so many wormwood?" ”
Wormwood is not a precious thing, it is common in the local fields, and in spring, many people pick it as a wild vegetable to eat.
But after all, in extraordinary times, wormwood is not so easy.
"Yes...... Sent by a friend. Liuli said, casually put the wormwood under the porch, afraid that the pearl would ask again, and hurried into the house.
The next day, Zhao Mingxu asked someone to send a lot of lard, and Xie Chun under him ran Feihongju, so there were naturally a lot of these things.
Compared with this, caustic soda is easier to obtain, and after buying caustic soda, Liuli began to make soap again.
Zhao Mingxu gave enough lard, but this time the soap to be made should be used by the whole city, and the Lang Zhong people in the epidemic department should be distributed more, if it is still according to the previous method, it will be too slow.
Even if Zhou Xiaoshu and his sister and brother-in-law help to do it, the speed can't keep up, not to mention the current situation, the faster the better.
In order to improve the efficiency of soap making, Liuli decided to customize a short and fat cauldron about half a person high. It is divided into two layers, and water can be added in the middle, because to ensure safety, when making soap in glass, it has always been used to heat it through water.
In addition, she asked someone to help her build a stirring device suitable for this cauldron.
Finally, a device the size of a grinding disc can be placed and fixed above the pottery kettle with a wooden frame, and then pushed by manpower or animal power.
When these agitators are turned, they can fully stir the soap in the kettle without throwing the fast-flowing soap out of the tank, and the best thing is that the height can also be adjusted according to the amount of soap, so there is basically no way to use this tool if there is too little soap.
With these two tools, the speed of soap-making in Liuli has increased by leaps and bounds.
