Chapter 74: My mother is fascinated

The ether we need to make now is for self-defense, not for medical purposes, and it is relatively simple. Chen Wanrong has never practiced martial arts, so fighting with a hooligan is OK. If he fights with an expert, he will touch a stone with an egg, which is really unwise.

It is good to use gunpowder to make bombs, but there is no gunpowder now, and there is no conditions for making bombs, which is not realistic. Under the current conditions, the way to defeat the enemy is ether, because the raw materials are easy to obtain and it is not difficult to make.

Ether is used in medicine, so patients suffer less pain, but their disadvantages are also obvious, and they cause greater harm to the human body. If it is excessive, it will cause death. More importantly, the effect is obvious and can make people faint immediately. It is better to use it to prevent yourself. It does not have to be smelled, but it can also be poured on his face. If it is like this, it will be impossible not to faint.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Chen Wanrong decided to make ether. It would be great if Chen Que can successfully win, but if he can't take it or threatens himself, ether will be useful. There is no harm in doing the preparations!

Move a jar and put it on the stove. This jar was customized by Chen Wanrong to Yuan Tiancheng. The only difference between it and the jar with the spout downwards is that it has no spout and is completely sealed.

Clean it with a clean cloth, then pour the anhydrous alcohol into it. Add concentrated sulfuric acid, add two dried zeolites, and tighten the lid.

I brought a stool, put it in front of the stove, raised the fire, and sat in front of the stove to control the temperature. Now there is no thermometer, and the temperature is difficult to control, so I can only rely on experience.

Using alcohol to make ether is easy to undergo disparity reactions, and temperature is very important. However, this is for self-defense, not for medical purposes. There are more impurities, and as long as you get confused, it will become a sign of dissipation. It doesn’t matter if you kill him. Who said he is a bad person?

As long as it is not done according to the medical level, it will save much more trouble. Just control the temperature and the fire is neither too big nor too small. Keep simmering on low heat. After a while, it is probably almost done. Chen Wanrong moved the jar away and fired away.

The natural cooling time is relatively long, and now there is no way to speed up the cooling. Only this most primitive method can be used. Chen Wanrong didn't have to wait, but walked around. Not long after, Xiao Shangrong came back with a ox cart, with several large locks placed on it, which was particularly conspicuous.

Chen Laoshi saw it from afar, threw down the work in his hand and shouted far away: "Shang Rong, what are you doing for buying a lock? What do you want to have such a big lock at home?"

Just looking at the size of the lock, you can tell that it is a very important thing for the lock. Chen Houshi's impression is that there is nothing important at home, and it is impossible to be surprised if he is not surprised.

"Uncle, I asked me to buy it for the silver." Xiao Shangrong looked around and saw that no one was there before he answered in a low voice.

Chen Zhen smiled and said, "How can there be any money? Isn't this a waste of work?" He didn't know that he would clear the bill soon, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were put into the warehouse.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Dad, Zhangguan Gao, Brother Ma, and Mr. Zheng are about to come to clear the bill. I have calculated initially that we have an income of about 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver."

"How many?" Chen honest eyes were ten times bigger than cow's eyes. In his impression, one thousand taels of silver was an astronomical number. Forty or fifty thousand taels of silver had long exceeded his imagination. He would shout out as soon as he opened his mouth. Fortunately, he was not slow to react and woke up in time and stared at Chen Wanrong blankly: "Wanrong, is there so much?" He looked around and his voice was extremely low, and he looked like he didn't believe it if he was beaten to death.

Chen Wanrong understood his shock very well and smiled and said, "Dad, I have it."

"Wanrong, I heard that those wealthy families have more money and they have to build a bank treasury, so we have to make one." Chen Laoshi's face was shocked before he could retreat.

This idea is good, just a little hindsight. Chen Wanrong naturally would not criticize him and said, "The silver treasury is ready, just wait for the silver to arrive."

"Wanrong is still able to do everything, and he has done everything in his heart!" Chen Zhenzhen praised from the bottom of his heart and kept praising Chen Wanrong.

This was Zheng Qing's idea. If Zheng Qing hadn't reminded her, maybe when the account was cleared, Chen Wanrong would have thought about how to keep it. What is Zheng Qing's relationship with him? Whoever is with me is praise for me. Chen Wanrong was unwilling to accept it: "Put the lock on, I'll move the money in the house to the silver treasury."

Xiao Shangrong responded and drove the ox cart to the Yinku. Chen Laoshi didn't follow him, and trotted, and didn't know what to do.

Chen Wanrong returned to the house and picked up the box containing the golden cakes. It was so heavy. If he wanted to move to the silver treasury, he had to ask someone to help. The idea turned around and only heard Chen Wang's voice sounding outside the house: "Wanrong, are you there?"

"Mom, what's the matter?" Chen Wanrong opened the door and saw Chen Laoshi and his wife standing at the door.

Chen Wangshi stepped in and said, "Wanrong, you won't talk about such a big thing?"

Chen Wanrong was stunned and asked, "Mom, how do you say this?"

"You have to say a word to us when your family has deposited so much money at once. Look at your father, your heart is still pounding." Chen Wang explained his purpose: "Your father has heard you, come to me quickly and discuss how to keep the money."

These issues have been thought of for a long time, and there is no need to discuss them. Chen Zhongshi’s idea is good, but the empress dowager realized it. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry, the money will be kept. Help me move it.”

This was full of confidence. Although Chen Wangshi was a little doubtful, he had to stop asking and helped Chen Laoshi to move the gold to the silver treasury. Chen Wanrong picked up half a box of gold, which was also heavy and went to the silver treasury.

When I came to the silver treasury, I put the gold on the gold rack. The two boxes were only a few hundred taels of gold, that is, a few thousand taels of silver. In terms of quantity, it was a lot. Just putting it in the silver treasury was like a drop in the bucket and could be ignored.

Compared with the Zheng family, my little money is simply a witch. Maybe it’s not even a little witch, but only hair, and my heart is empty. Chen and his wife have a mosuo of gold, and they can’t let go of it, and they are extremely happy. Having so much money is their greatest happiness!

The two elders were satisfied and then closed the box and left the silver treasury reluctantly. Chen Wanrong picked up the lock and locked it, giving the key to Chen Laoshi and his wife one by one, and Xiao Shangrong.

"Wanrong, keep this one yourself." Chen Wangshi understood the benefits of keeping the keys separately and reminded Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I don't need it. In the future, open the silver vault, father, mother, Shang Rong and Huahua will all get the field. The keys must not be passed on to others, but they must be opened by themselves."

This is a necessary measure. Chen Zhen had no objection to this, but was a little worried: "Wanrong, you don't have a key, how can you do it? If you are not here, can you open a bank treasury?"

Chen Wanrong could understand his concerns, but it was enough for four people to be present, and said, "If I were there, I would naturally come. If I were not here, it would be fine if you four were present."

"Old man, you are so polite. How can you bring a key to the owner? The keys are collected by the tent, and one or two of them are collected by your relatives. This is called politeness." Chen Wang's mind is much more flexible than Chen Zhen.

When Chen thought it was this, he stopped talking and followed Chen Wanrong happily. When he came to the accounting room, he saw Han Hua concentrate on doing the accounting under Zheng Qing's guidance and was very devoted. Chen Wanrong and the other two came in and did not notice it.

"I have met my uncle and my aunt!" Zheng Qing hurriedly came up to greet him.

Mrs. Chen held it and looked around, and was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth: "Miss Zheng, thank you."

"Auntie is so rude!" Zheng Qing was still so dependent, snuggling beside Chen Wang, as if her daughter was attached to her mother.

Chen Wanrong handed the key to Han Huahua. Without giving any instructions, Chen Zhen said seriously: "Huahua, you have to keep this key well. If you open the silver treasury in the future, you can't give the key to the second person!"

Chen Wangshi added: "Even your mother can't do it!" She trusted and took good care of her sister very much, and it was not possible in this matter, which shows the weight of the silver treasury in her mind.

Han Huahua had already taken it, but when she heard this, she hurriedly stuffed the key back into Chen Wanrong's hand: "Then I don't want it."

Zheng Qing comforted her and said, "Sister Huahua, don't be too careful. This is the rule, no one can be an exception. The key cannot be given to the second person, it means you must keep it well, and you must remember it at all times."

Han Huahua would not ignore Zheng Qing's words. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently and said, "I remember!" He carefully put the key in his arms.

"From today on Huahua and Shangrong live in a single room and put as few people in as possible." Chen Laoshi still made arrangements with a stern face.

This arrangement is reasonable and everyone has no objection, so it is decided.

It was not until after noon that Chen Wanrong went to see the ether. When he touched the jar, it was as cold as a stone and it was already cold. He opened the lid, poured the ether into the basin, and then separated it. Sulfuric acid plays a catalytic role, and it is not consumed in theory, but in fact there is still some loss. There must be some on the container.

If used in medicine, you must use the principle of low boiling point of ether to separate and increase its concentration. This is for self-defense and there is no need to distillate. After separation, the ether is poured into a porcelain bottle and the remaining ones are poured into a wine bowl. Treat the sulfuric acid slightly and poured back into the container. Finally, clean the jar and it is finished.

Ether is a very powerful anesthetic. It can not only be used in medicine, but also to deceive people. Some scammers hide in secluded places with ether. When someone passes by, they will come forward and brag, "This is pure water newly studied by our company. It has excellent quality and is good for the human body. If you don't believe it, you will know."

Passersby will think that it is no big deal for the servants to smell it, so they will smell it. They fainted after smelling it. When they woke up, the valuable things on their bodies disappeared.

Chen Wanrong knew this trick. What he was most concerned about now was to find something to try. The ether in Chen Wanrong's hand was made very rough and had a lot of impurities. He was really worried if he didn't check it.

It is definitely not suitable to find someone to test. Chen Wanrong was thinking, and a rooster cries sounded. Chen Wanrong went out of the house and saw that Chen Wang grabbed a big rooster, turned the chicken's head back and pressed it under his wings, and his right hand was plucking the hair on the chicken's neck.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Chen Wanrong's eyes widened.

While shaving the chicken feathers on his neck, Chen Wang replied: "What can I do? Of course I am preparing supper. Now I have to kill the chicken, otherwise it will be too late." He held the knife in his right hand and cut it on the chicken's neck.

Chen Wanrong hurriedly shouted: "Mom, don't kill, don't kill."

Chen Wangshi didn't understand Chen Wanrong's intention, and thought that Chen Wanrong suddenly felt merciless and couldn't bear to kill the chicken. He smiled and scolded: "Wanrong, you are really, a big man, even a chicken is not willing to kill! In the future, if you marry a wife and have a son, your wife will not suffer from you, and you won't even eat a chicken!"

If Zheng Qing heard this, she would definitely blush. Fortunately, she taught Han Huahua to do the tent in the house. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Isn't there any mother? With Mom, a butcher who specializes in killing chickens, are you still worried about not having chickens to eat? Mom, put the chicken head out and I'll smell it."

"What do you hear?" Although Chen Wangshi was puzzled, he released the chicken's head as he said.

Chen Wanrong pulled out the stopper and pointed the bottle mouth at the chicken's head. Chen Wang looked at the porcelain bottle and asked in confusion: "Wanrong, what are you? Let's take a look." Before Chen Wanrong could speak, he squatted down to smell it.

He hurriedly turned the bottle and Chen Wanrong said hurriedly: "Mom, I can't smell it."

Chen Wang grabbed it and angrily said, "This Wanrong, can't the chicken smell, but my mother can't?" She pulled hard and did farm work for the rest of her life. She was already very strong. She suddenly tried hard, but Chen Wanrong couldn't resist her, and the porcelain bottle was straight at her nose.

After a sniff, Chen Wang frowned and asked, "What is this? Like wine is not wine..." Before he finished speaking, his body swayed and almost fell down.

Chen Wanrong called out a secretly terrible voice, hurriedly held her, hurriedly stuffed the bottle and put it back in his arms. He shook Chen Wangshi and shouted: "Mom, mom, mom!"

Chen Wangshida continued her head, without any movement. Chen Wanrong looked into her nose, but fortunately she was very strong, but she fainted and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Wanrong's anxious screams alarmed. Chen Laoshi poked his head out of the woodworkshop, looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Wanrong, what's wrong with the chicken? He is lying on the ground and is still moving." The chicken had long been confused and straightened his legs. If it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest, he would have thought he was dead.

He was really idle and didn't care about people, but he cared about chickens. Chen Wanrong really wanted to scold him and shouted, "Dad, come and help me help me."

"What's wrong with your mother?" He didn't expect this change even if he wanted to break his head. Chen Zhen stood still.

Chen Wanrong said angrily: "You care what's wrong with her, come and help her."

The tone was already very heavy, Chen Laoshi came over in disappointment, looked at Chen Wangshi, and his eyes widened: "Woman, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk?"

"I fainted, I'll get better in a while." Chen Wanrong explained clearly before he could ask.

Zheng Qing and the others were also alarmed, and came out of the room. Looking at Chen Wangshi with his head hanging down, he said worriedly: "Does it matter?"

"Lying down for a while," Chen Wanrong had no choice but to answer again.

Zheng Qing, Qing'e, and Han Huahua were busy helping him help King Chen into the house and lay on the bed. Looking at the motionless look of Chen Wangshi, Chen's husband and wife were deeply in love, and patted Chen Wangshi's face: "Woman, wake up, don't leave, don't leave me!" After that, they almost cried.

As soon as he said this, Han Huahua became nervous and threw herself on Chen Wangshi, crying: "Auntie, don't leave!"

After the medicine is effective, you will naturally wake up, making you feel like you are crying. Chen Wanrong comforted him: "Don't cry, you'll be dizzy, you'll be fine after a while. Mom is fine, and you'll have problems crying for you."

Zheng Qing was careful and put her jade finger on Chen Wang's wrist vein. When her crescent eyebrows frowned, Kuanwei got up: "Uncle, sister Huahua, don't be anxious, you just fainted, it's nothing big."

Chen honestly wiped his tears: "Miss Zheng, you want to save Wanrong's mother! I'll kneel down for you!" He acted to kneel down, but Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing hurriedly supported him.

Under the comfort of Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing, Chen Laoshi stopped crying and stared at Chen Wangshi worriedly. Although Chen Wangshi was so confused, he didn't inhale much. After a while, the medicine was over and he woke up with a moan. The first thing was: "Wanrong, what are you? Huh, why am I here?" He couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled.

Chen Laoshi cried with joy and held Chen Wang's shoulder: "Woman, you're scared me to death! Are you pretending to be sick if you're fine?"

"Old man, what are you talking about? Who is pretending to be sick?" Chen Wang rolled his eyes to him.

Han Huahua originally wanted to say, "Auntie, are you okay?" After hearing what Chen Wang said, she was embarrassed to say it again.

"Wanrong, you just clean up some strange things in ancient times and don't explain them clearly to your mother. Do you want to kill her?" Chen Wangshi stood up, moved her muscles and said, "I'm going to kill the chicken. If I don't kill it, it will be too late." She quickly left.
