Chapter 43: The Glass
In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of sunlight poured into the window, Tong Xiang had already gotten up.
She avoided Chu Xiao, came to the warehouse alone, and used the ancient ring to call up an extraction device.
It's just that Gu Ring's ability is limited after all, and he can't bring her fully automatic things at all, so she can only rely on her own hands to build a device.
Fortunately, the ancient ring is relatively humane, and there is a computer in it, which can be regarded as a great help.
After all, Tong Xiang is not a person who specializes in studying chemistry, and she naturally does not know how to use any distillation device or analysis device.
If she hadn't found the rectifier diagram, even if she got these bottles and cans, it would be useless.
After calling up these things, Tong Xiang will no longer be in the warehouse.
She took the sack, carried them into the room, and set a table with a crackle.
Looking at the transparent glass tube on the table, Chu Xiao suddenly felt very novel.
"Where did you get these clear bottles, they look good."
"Isn't this just a glass bottle, what's so nice about it?"
As soon as Tong Xiang heard Chu Xiao's words, he responded without thinking.
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly remembered that there should not be such a "high-tech" thing as glass in this era, so she hurriedly added.
"These things are also what I saw in the forest when I was a child, and he taught me to make them."
In order to keep Chu Xiao from continuing to ask, Tong Xiang hurriedly changed the topic.
"I might have to trouble you for a while."
If you want to condense, tap water must be indispensable, but in this era, it is already good to be able to drink some water, where will there be tap water?
After thinking about it, Tong Xiang could only think of asking Chu Xiao to help him do it.
Fortunately, she also has a manual pump in her hand, and the water can be dispensed only by pressing.
Hearing that Tong Xiang had a request for himself, Chu Xiao stopped asking.
While holding the distillation bottle and looking at the sun, he responded to Tong Xiang's words, "It's not troublesome, but it's okay to say it." ”
Tong Xiang told Chu Xiao his thoughts, and then began to build the device.
Seeing the fragmented glass bottles connected in Tong Xiang's hands, Chu Xiao not only had a heavier admiration for the girl in front of him.
Under the sun, Tong Xiang's ink-like hair fell down, and his already palm-sized face looked even more petite.
Her skin was bursting, and the golden sunlight seemed to be able to cover her skin.
"Bottom-to-top, left-to-right."
Tong Xiang muttered quietly while building the device, not noticing Chu Xiao's expression at all.
"Chu Xiao, you can start pressing the water now."
Seeing that Chu Xiao didn't react, Tong Xiang immediately turned around.
Looking at each other, Chu Xiao's face turned red all of a sudden.
In a panic, he hurriedly lowered his head, "I didn't hear what you just said." ”
"Hmm...... Now it's time to get started. ”
The atmosphere in the room was a little weird, and Tong Xiang also felt that his face was hot, and even his voice became much softer.
Seeing that the water in the condenser tube had stabilized, Tong Xiang lit the alcohol lamp.
The temperature in front of the device gradually increased, and within a moment, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Chu Xiao's face.
"Why don't you go and rest first, I'll come here."
Although it is not a matter of effort, it is not easy to persist for a long time.
Chu Xiao smiled when he heard Tong Xiang's flowers, "It's nothing, it's not a heavy job." ”
"Don't stop."
Tong Xiang was just about to say something, but suddenly saw that there was something wrong with the water supply on Chu Xiao's side, so he reminded loudly.
Chu Xiao was suddenly in a hurry, "Okay, okay, I'll start right away." ”
As time goes by, the distillation process comes to an end.
Tong Xiang poured all the solution in the distillation flask into the beaker, filtered it, and a series of processes, and finally obtained a small concentrated solution.
"What do you want this thing for?"
Chu Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the large bottle of liquid that had been slowly before was instantly left.
"I don't know if my conjecture is right, so I can only be a dead horse doctor."
Tong Xiang stared at the solution in his hand, and his eyes gradually became darker.
She just wanted to see if the white flower was in the same category as the poppy, and if the experiment failed, all the progress made before would be useless.
However, the chances of success in the first experiment are also very small, and Edison failed so many times before inventing the light bulb.
Thinking of this, Tong Xiang's heart felt better.
Chu Xiao looked at you Tong Xiang, his eyes were full of pity, "It's okay, as long as you are willing to do it, I will help you." ”
Although the distillation matter has ended, Chu Xiao's obsession with glass products has not disappeared.
"Can these transparent bottles be mass-produced, if they can be promoted, they will definitely be extremely popular."
It's a great way to make money, but the process of producing glass is too complicated, and it's too difficult to do in this day and age.
Tong Xiang looked at Chu Xiao and shook his head, "Now that the business of the medicine hall has not stabilized, I can't take the time to do this now." ”
The light in Chu Xiao's eyes dimmed instantly, but he quickly adjusted his mood.
"You're right."
"However, there are still some leftovers from what I did before, and I can give you a water glass, and you can take it with you wherever you go in the future."
Tong Xiang stepped aside, summoned the ancient ring with his mind, and took out a water cup from it.
The whole cup is glass, and there is no superfluous pattern on the top, only a bear pattern at the bottom.
When he saw this quilt, the corners of Tong Xiang's mouth twitched.
A big boy of about 1.8 meters is holding a cup with a bear all day long, which is really a contrast.
However, if you take it out, you can't take it back.
Tong Xiang handed the cup to Chu Xiao with an embarrassed and somewhat playful smile on his face.
"That's all I have left here, so you're going to use it."
Who knew that Chu Xiao seemed to have gotten some treasure, his eyes lit up.
"It's the first time I've seen a water cup like this, how much more skills do you have than I know?"
Tong Xiang felt a little weak-hearted, and smiled awkwardly, "It's good if you like it." ”
Early the next morning, Chu Xiao went out to buy some daily necessities, and before going out, he didn't forget to pin the water cup that Tong Xiang gave him yesterday to his waist.
When Tong Xiang looked down upstairs and saw this scene, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, this match is really amazing!
Originally, Chu Xiao was 1.8 meters tall, dressed in white and shengxue, and had the feeling of fairy wind and bones.
But now with this weirdly patterned small water cup, it looks a little silly.
It's just that thinking that Chu Xiao likes the things he sent so much, Tong Xiang doesn't want to stop it.
Chu Xiao has always been a steady person, but with this glass, he walked on the road with a little more spirit.
After purchasing, I thought that I had received Tong Xiang's gift but had not returned the gift, so I moved to pick up hairpins, wanting to surprise Tong Xiang.
Since coming here, the life of the family has changed little by little, but Tong Xiang has never been willing to spend money for himself.
For such a long time, Chu Xiao had only seen Tong Xiang bring a white hosta, and this hairpin was given to her by the Li family.
As soon as he walked into the hairpin, Xiao'er greeted him.
"Objective, I don't know what you need?"
What Chu Xiao hated the most when he was shopping was that others were chattering next to him, and as soon as Xiao Er's words fell, his brows involuntarily condensed together.
Xiao Er didn't feel that anything was wrong, but he just felt that he might not be enthusiastic enough to serve, so he repeated what he just said with a flattering face.
Before Chu Xiao could open his mouth, the shopkeeper had already walked over and pulled Xiao Er aside.
"Objective, you choose slowly, if there is any problem, we will be on the side."
After saying that, the shopkeeper turned and left.
The moment he turned around, his eyes glanced at the water cup on Chu Xiao's waist.
He was stunned for a moment, then returned to the counter as if he hadn't seen anything.
Chu Xiao walked around the store, and what he liked the most was the magnolia hairpin that he saw at a glance when he first entered the door.
Tong Xiang is not a flamboyant person, if he buys the kind of hairpin with a tassel of more than ten inches at once, he may be at the bottom of the box if he buys it back.
On the contrary, it is this simple style that she may only use in her daily life.
Chu Xiao called the shopkeeper to wrap the hosta, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the shopkeeper.
"This son, you are the hundredth customer to come to our store, so we will have a small gift for you today."
While speaking, the shopkeeper handed Chu Xiao a gift box, and a beautiful bow hairpin was placed in the box.
Chu Xiao suddenly stopped when he heard this, he took the gift box and smiled at the shopkeeper.
"I've never seen this thing before, so thank you."
As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper's eyes were more suspicious.
It is probably the innate ability of businessmen, and this suspicion quickly disappeared, even Chu Xiao, who has always been good at observing other people's micro-expressions, did not see the flaw.
The shopkeeper sighed lightly and pointed to the water cup on Chu Xiao's waist.
"The glass cup on Childe's waist is exquisite, I don't know where I bought it?"
Hearing the shopkeeper mention the water cup, Chu Xiao's face was a little more proud, "My sister gave it." ”
After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his face became much more serious.
"How do you know it's glass?"
In this era, there are only a handful of people who can say such a term, and if he didn't know it from Tong Xiang, he would have never heard of it.
Now the shopkeeper can easily say the name of this thing at a glance, which can't help but make people think deeply.
The shopkeeper really didn't expect Chu Xiao to be so vigilant, and he hurriedly laughed.
"Childe doesn't need to be too nervous, I just heard the old man in the forest mention two sentences before."
Chu Xiao's face softened a little when he heard this, "It's me who was impulsive, I'm sorry." ”
As the sun set, Chu Xiao rushed home with the gift he had prepared for Tong Xiang.
His face was full of smiles that couldn't be hidden.
