Chapter 10: Harvest sulfuric acid, and then harvest sugar cane

In his previous life, when he was in college, Li Chongrun and his good brothers in the same dormitory often proposed to recognize each other as father and son, add to the relationship, and warmly invite each other to drink hot black tea.

"Phew!" Shangguan Wan'er covered her ears and didn't listen, it was all foul language.

"Wang Wu, take me bamboo strips, I want to teach His Royal Highness King Shao how to respect the elderly!" Di Renjie was stunned, this thing still has a taste?

"I mean you're on your own, and there are no obstacles in your heart......" Li Chongrun explained in every possible way, and he was stunned by Di Renjie on the chair.

Although Di Renjie was very angry and hit Li Chongrun a few times, the relationship in the hospital seemed to have warmed up a lot in the process of "you beat me and hid".

The ancients did not deceive me, beating is scolding is love, and not beating or scolding is a scourge.

It is rare to be able to make trouble in such a way regardless of the relationship between the prince and the minister.

The most important thing is to be able to get along with Di Renjie to such an extent, which is rare!

When Li Chongrun looked at Shangguan Wan'er for help, the other party saw that he was beaten fiercely, and he had a happy expression.

"Pay attention to what you say in the future, be tighter, and don't offend people." Di Renjie gasped for breath and warned Li Chongrun meaningfully.

"Run, taught." Li Chongrun performed the gift of the teacher.

Seeing the occasional personality jump is only for a while after all, Li Chongrun has returned to the moment of cognitive situation.

A year later, the cane was still reminding him that this was not the time for him to indulge himself.

"What does it take to make this miraculous medicine? Do you need manpower? All the people in my house can be dispatched. Di Renjie watched Li Chongrun's temperament return to calm and relieved.

Li's is difficult, if Li Chongrun's behavior has been like that, he Di Renjie has been saved, and Li Chongrun may have to go before him.

In Di Renjie's heart, he still hopes that the children and grandchildren of the Li family can be safer, after all, there are still many things that they need to do in the future...... Di Renjie didn't continue to think about it.

"I need iron, coal, distilled wine, vinegar with enough purity, salt and sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid is alum oil, and ammonia is urine, I really need ...... manpower" Li Chongrun did not hide from the two of them, and said his sulfonamide recipe.

"Are you trying to do alchemy? Alum oil has been used, miracle medicine? Elixir? Why not use cinnabar? "Di Renjie has a few old friends, who are addicted to alchemy, and those old friends who are always at home with dangerous things such as alum oil, but there is no shortage of them.

"You know alum oil?" Li Chongrun's eyes lit up.

To be honest, the others are easy to get, just this sulfuric acid, he is also numb, but now he knows from Di Renjie that sulfuric acid can easily obtain finished products.

"I have a few old friends, addicted to Jindan Avenue, Jindan didn't come out, two of them went first, and two of them blew up their mansion many times, and the other one was poor, and he didn't want to accept relief, and he came to see me a few days ago and asked me if I would like to eat the Jindan he refined, that thing stinks." Di Renjie obviously had lingering palpitations about the "golden pill".

The Jin Dan refined by the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chongrun didn't dare to touch it, a mixture of heavy metals such as lead and mercury, eat two more grains, and like to mention the cemetery.

"Have you eaten that golden pill?" Li Chongrun was a little nervous, for fear that Di Renjie wouldn't be able to think about it.

"That's not true, I answered him and said that he would eat after all, it is difficult to be gracious, I threw it away, that thing does not go down with wine, it is better to fry the silkworm chrysalis." Mr. Di Renjie's nightlife is still quite rich.

"There are a lot of things to buy this time, and I'm going to go there myself." Li Chongrun said, and prepared to say goodbye to Di Renjie.

"Shao Wangfu didn't procure? Why did His Royal Highness bother to work in person......" Di Renjie was a little reluctant, and he didn't think that Li Chongrun did this in order to buy people's hearts.

Li Chongrun sneered: "The procurement in my house, five dollars of silver and a chicken, it's just boiled for nothing, and I don't know how much money a chicken will cost me!" ”

"There are a lot of things to ask for now, after all, you can't succeed at one time, not to mention, prepare more sulfonamides, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"It's just that I've been busy lately, so I didn't kill the head of the procurement, otherwise I would have killed this insatiable man long ago."

A chicken is five coins of silver, and Di Renjie frowned when he heard it.

Today's eggs are not as good as those of later generations, and the eggs produced by large-scale breeding in later generations are almost fifty grams each.

And there were no such conditions during the Wu Zhou period, and forty grams of eggs was considered good.

Wu Zhou and Li Tang's catty is about 600 grams, and a catty of chickens is 12 to 20 yuan.

That is, the normal price of an ordinary chicken is about 1 penny, or even less than 1 penny.

One penny compared to five dollars of silver, you can imagine how bold Shao Wangfu is in procurement.

"It's too much." Di Renjie's own purchase in his house is clear to him, he doesn't eat too much, and every penny is still clear.

He was not stingy, and he treated his subordinates very well, and even ate the same meals on holidays.

"Have you two eaten? It's almost noon, stay and have lunch, I have coarse tea and light rice here, not as good as the palace palace, but many dishes are grown in the back garden, and they are eaten fresh. Di Renjie graciously kept the two of them to eat, and even asked Wang Wusu to go to the vegetable market to cut a few catties of pork.

Hearing the pork, Shangguan Wan'er instinctively looked at Li Chongrun, a little expecting the other party to cook in person.

"Master Di still cultivates himself?" Li Chongrun was in awe and offered to go to the Difu vegetable garden to have a look.

In fact, I don't know whether it's a good deal or a loss, Shenjing is an inch of land, and Di Fu is given, and it is a luxury to use this land to grow vegetables.

"The vegetable garden that the old man personally tended to have is beautiful and fat, and it can be harvested once in a few months." When it comes to the vegetable garden, Di Renjie is inexplicably a little proud.

Coming to the vegetable garden in the corner of the backyard of Difu, there is another well here, and the green vegetable garden makes people feel cool.

The arrival of Li Chongrun and the three frightened several small field spiders and fled to the soil of cabbage roots.

"It's really good, the vegetables grown by Master Di are very fat." Li Chongrun stepped into the vegetable bed, and finally found an unexpected joy.

It was a few unbudding corns and sugarcane.

In fact, the sugar industry in Wuzhou is not bad, there are a lot of sugarcane planted in the south, but the freight is expensive, and they are all fruit sugarcane, and the sugar production is far lower than that of specially extracted sugar varieties.

There are two main sources of modern sugar industry, one is sugar beet, the other is sugar cane, sugar beet even accounts for the majority, but unfortunately sugar beet was only introduced in the Ming Dynasty, and now there is none.

Seeing Li Chongrun standing in front of that small piece of sugarcane, Di Renjie rarely blushed and couldn't hold back.

He defended: "Those merchants sold me seeds, saying that they were good sugarcane seeds, and that they could grow well in the north, so I planted them, but when I grew up, I became like this......

"No, Master Di, you have misunderstood, this thing is much better than the sugar cane you have seen in the past, this is a variety specially used to make sugar, generally called sugar cane."

"The kind we eat on weekdays is called fruit cane, compared to sugar, there is more juice, and the sugar yield is slightly lower, because fruit cane is more popular, and now there are few sugar cane, because the fiber is coarse and hard, and it is not easy to squeeze." Li Chongrun carefully observed the top of the sugar cane.

Even in the north, the growth is very good, and this year it can probably bloom and bear seeds, as long as the variety does not degenerate, the sugar that he needs in the restaurant from now on may not be worried.
