Chapter 103 New Problems

Chen Wanrong understood their mood and explained with a smile: "No one can explain the good and bad things clearly, it is not determined by heaven. Whether it is good or bad things must be decided by himself. No matter how lucky the divination is, there may not be no bad things. Divination is bad things, it may not be a bad thing, it depends on how to argue. As the saying goes, good things are the bad things, and bad things are the bad things. I am determined to stay with Qing for a lifetime, and I should share good and bad things!"

As long as people know how to argue, bad things may not necessarily turn into good things, and good and bad things may not necessarily remain unchanged.

"Honey!" Zheng Qing's excited voice sounded, appeared at the door, rushed over quickly, not caring about her parents in front of her, and threw herself into Chen Wanrong's arms, tears burst out from her eyes: "Honey, everyone understands your feelings! No matter what happens, let's take care of it together!"

Chen Wanrong's words were unheard of, and it was unheard of. In the minds of the ancients, there were very few people who completely ignored good and bad luck. Zheng Jianqiu and his wife were shocked and even more shocked. They couldn't help but wipe their tears and were happy on behalf of Zheng Qing.

Zheng Zhou came over, stroked Zheng Qing's hair, and said softly: "Girl, Wanrong treats you like this. This love is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. You must cherish it. The greatest happiness of our women is to marry a wishful husband. You are blessed and you are happy for you!"

Zheng Jianqiu reminded: "Girl, you must be kind to Wanrong and be a good wife and mother."

Zheng Qing nodded and said softly. Chen Wanrong disagreed and whispered in her ear: "If you are such a knowledgeable person, if you are only a good wife and mother, you will be burying talents. From now on, let's work together to create a new world!"

At this moment, Chen Wanrong was full of heroism and spirit, which was very different from Chen Wanrong before. Zheng Qing's strengths were due to Chen Wanrong's shortcomings. The two of them worked together and their future would be infinitely bright. It would be impossible not to be excited.

Now Zheng Qing listens to Chen Wanrong. He lightly clicks his head, which is both joyful and unbearable, and looks at Chen Wanrong with affection.

As soon as Zheng Zhou touched Zheng Jianqiu, the couple quickly walked out of the house and closed the door gently. Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing were still warm in the house.

After a while, Zheng Qing twisted her delicate body and whispered: "My husband, I'm so happy!" Chen Wanrong's words were enough to touch any woman. Can she not be surrounded by happiness?

With Yiren tightened her waist, Chen Wanrong let go and smiled and said, "It's my blessing to have you with me. Qing, I'll go back first. If you are tired today, take a rest first."

It’s better for my husband, and I think about everything. Zheng Qing stood up straight and nodded, “I’m listening to my husband.”

After opening the door, Zheng Wanru stood on the road, looking around, Chen Wanrong walked up and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Brother Chen, nothing." Zheng Wanru looked at the two of them and replied.

Chen Wanrong said with a long face, "I'm still called Brother Chen, brother-in-law!"

Zheng Wanru was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Zheng Qing swung her pink fist and scolded, "Let's mouth!" She gently smashed Chen Wanrong's shoulder, both happy and ashamed.

"Brother-in-law!" Zheng Wanru understood.

Chen Wanrong had a long-skinned face and nodded and responded: "Yes! Brother-in-law!"

Zheng Qing couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing: "You are not ashamed! Brother, beat this bad guy!"

Zheng Wanru thought to herself about you two, I didn’t have to get involved. When she saw Zheng Qing laughing very happily, she seemed to have a good news bird on her eyebrows, and she felt teasing and responded: “I’ve beaten up the bad guy!” She held her fist and hit her down.

Chen Wanrong laughed, very happy, and left. Zheng Qing and his brother held their fists, laughing and chasing from behind. Zheng Jianqiu and his wife stood in the corner and saw it clearly. Zheng Zhou frowned: "This Wanrong looks regular and honest on weekdays, and he is so honest. Why is this skin so old?"

Zheng Jianqiu spoke for Chen Wanrong and said, "This is called fun, what's wrong with it? The young people like to make trouble, so let them make trouble without worrying about it."

The next day, I continued to make alcohol, and it was more than the day before, and I did it almost a thousand pounds. At this speed, it would be completed in two days. Chen Wanrong was relieved.

On the third day, Chen Wanrong was inspecting his home. With the help of the servants of the Zheng family, there were enough people to make alcohol and the soap was not left behind. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Chen Wanrong was particularly satisfied.

"I've met Storekeeper Chen." Yuan Tiancheng rushed in a car and jumped out of the car to salute Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong bowed his fists and said, "I have met Manager Yuan."

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'll prepare what you want for you. See if it fits." Yuan Tiancheng waved his hand and the guy hurriedly moved things from the car.

Chen Wanrong went up and saw that it was a crucible, which was a good one. The difference between it and the crucible used in experiments was that it was too big and enough to hold about a hundred kilograms of material. The other was that it had three ears and was arranged in a triangle. It was for the convenience of handling. Chen Wanrong specially ordered it to be made.

If there are only two ears, it is likely to sway. This requires heating to a high temperature of thousands of degrees. If there is sway, it may cause an accident. Therefore, only three ears are used to be safer.

The crucible used in the laboratory can be clamped with crucible tongs, which is very convenient. Now the crucible is so large that it is very heavy to fill the material, and it is very inconvenient if it does not have a chain device.

"Not bad, not bad!" Chen Wanrong was satisfied with the appearance of the crucible. As for whether it was easy to use, he had to try it before knowing that the temperature that the porcelain crucible could withstand was about 1,200 degrees, which was the worst heat resistance among the three types of crucibles.

Yuan Tianchengda said with confidence: "Please click and check these things, Manager Chen."

In addition to crucibles, there are ceramic tiles, and there are also models for making glass and furnace bridges for building stoves. Finally, Yuan Tiancheng asked his friend to move down two large bags of clay. Chen Wanrong explained that he needed clay at that time, and he really brought it to him.

Chen Wanrong was not satisfied with his attitude and invited Yuan Tiancheng to have tea. Yuan Tiancheng declined, "Shopkeeper Chen, I won't eat this tea. Let's talk about it later if I have the chance. There are a lot of things in the kiln, so I have to rush back." He lowered his voice and said happily: "Shopkeeper Chen doesn't know anything. I have taken more work these days, and this is all thanks to you."

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Chen Wanrong congratulated with his fists.

Yuan Tiancheng smiled so hard that his wrinkles disappeared: "Shopkeeper Chen, what do you want to do with you with a word, and you will definitely do it for you." Then he said goodbye and left.

After seeing Yuan Tiancheng off, Chen Wanrong asked someone to move the tiles, clay and furnace bridges to the outside of the yard and put them down near the wall.

Zheng Qing asked in confusion: "Mr., what are you doing? You have to build a stove, why don't you build it in the yard?" Since the relationship was officially established the day before yesterday, Zheng Qing was the husband in front of others and behind others and shouted in a short voice.

Chen Wanrong explained to her: "Because my stove is different, there is a smoke fontanelle, which will be fumigated if it is placed in the yard." The melting temperature of glass is higher, so it is naturally impossible for the stove to meet this requirement. Chen Wanrong not only needs to change the stove body, but also plans to use anthracite to heat it, because the calorific value of coal is higher than that of firewood.

Coal is better than firewood, but if there is no smoke and fontanelle, it will be unbearable. If it is done in the yard, it will definitely not be appropriate. It was because Chen Wanrong decided to build it into the corner outside the yard.

Zheng Qing, a very smart person, asked excitedly: "My husband, do you want to build a different stove? Then hurry up."

She was curious and wanted to see what was going on. It was not impossible to satisfy her, but there were more important things to do. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I will talk about this later. I will arrange another tool first."

Staring at Chen Wanrong, Zheng Qing hurriedly asked, "My husband, what kind of tool is it? Can you tell me what you want?"

"Go to the carpentry room, let me tell you together." Chen Wanrong went straight to the carpentry room, and Zheng Qing hurriedly followed.

When I arrived at the carpenter, I saw Wang Zhongze and the carpenters making wooden boxes. With the help of Zhengfu carpenters, the wooden barrels had been made and they should go back to get the wooden boxes.

"Master Wang, you have something you have to help me do." Chen Wanrong came to Wang Zhongze's side.

Wang Zhongze was focused on his work, and then he realized that Chen Wanrong had arrived. He quickly stood up and said, "Boss, please tell me what to do?"

"I want to make a bellows!" Chen Wanrong answered very simply, picked up a wooden stick, drew it on the ground, and explained while drawing it: "This bellows must be made of Paulownia wood as the box, locust wood as the rod, nailed with bamboo nails, and bonded with donkey skin glue."

The bellows are recorded in the Ming Dynasty "The Heavenly Gong Kaiwu" that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, water discharge was mainly used. This simple blowing equipment was not seen by Wang Zhong, so he could not hear it clearly, so he stared at the top of his eyes.

Chen Wanrong knew that he could not understand, so he explained in detail, such as cat ears, valves, box bodies, and pull rods, which made Wang Zhong's eyes shiny.

"My husband, this bellows are a good thing! They are simple and practical, and more suitable than water discharge." Zheng Qing had an amazing understanding and soon knew the advantages of bellows.

The power of the water drain is larger than that of the bellows, and it uses hydraulic power, which saves manpower, and is particularly suitable for large workshops. However, its disadvantage is that it requires hydraulic power. Chen Wanrong is just doing experiments, so it is impossible to dig a canal to get home. In the absence of a better choice, using the bellows is the best way.

If there is a blower, there is no need to be such a trouble. The problem is that there is no blower or electricity in the Tang Dynasty.

The bellows need someone to pull them before they can work. For an experiment, at most two people can take turns to pull the bellows. Furthermore, the carpenter is ready-made and it is not difficult to start.

After Zheng Qing's reminder, Wang Zhongze also understood and praised him with high fives and said, "Boss, this thing is a good thing. If it is delivered to the market for sale, it will definitely be sold at a good price. Cooking at home can save much trouble using this thing."

As he said, selling bellows in the Tang Dynasty would definitely be sold at a good price, but Chen Wanrong didn’t have this interest, so he would do a good job of chemical engineering. He smiled and said, “Just let it be sold, I just need to use it myself. After it is done, add some beeswax and pull it up will be convenient.”

Beeswax has a lubricating effect. If you add tung oil, it is certainly "tightening", but it is too laborious to pull it up and people can't stand it, so it's better to use beeswax.

Zheng Qing and Wang Zhong of course understood the wonderful uses of beeswax and praised them continuously.

There is a bellows in rural China. Chen Wanrong has one in his home in another time and space. He has used it since childhood and has a deep memory. He smiled and recited a slang song: "Tongaoli and Xi'anli, two foxes fight, and they are still scolding. Qing, guess what it is?"

This is a riddle, which refers to the bellows. Zheng Qing had never seen the bellows, so she naturally couldn't guess it. She opened her mouth wide and didn't know how to answer. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "It's the bellows."

Zheng Qing could no longer hold it back and covered her mouth and laughed happily. Not only Zheng Qing laughed, but Wang Zhongze and others couldn't help laughing and laughed.

After arranging this, Chen Wanrong called two hired workers who could build stoves to prepare for the stoves.

When Chen Wanrong came to the wall, he explained the request and the two hired workers understood and built it according to Chen Wanrong's requirements. The difference between this stove and the previous stove is mainly that the materials are all made of ceramic tiles. The ceramic tiles used by Chen Wanrong are refractory materials, and bricks made of clay are taken down very heavily in their hands.

This is used for building stoves, and the requirements are not high, but Yuan Tiancheng is both old and practical, and its smoothness is no different from that of porcelain, so this effort is wasted.

The other difference is that there is a furnace bridge that facilitates the placement of coal and ventilation holes. It can blow the air by installing a bellows, making the temperature in the stove higher.

The smoke fontanelle part is made of ordinary bricks.

"How to burn this stove?" Chen Wang's voice sounded, and he looked at the stove in surprise: "Wanrong, what kind of stove is this?"

This is a stove for burning coal, with hollow below. It is not popular in the Tang Dynasty. It is normal for Chen Wangshi to see it before. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mom, the same method of burning is just to raise the fire above. You can poke the gaps below with iron bars, and the burning will be even more vigorous."

"Oh, so that's how it is?" Chen Wang suddenly realized.

Zheng Qing was a little anxious: "Can you make glass?" She heard Chen Wanrong talk about the magic of glass, and she had wanted to see it for a long time, but she didn't have a chance. Now that the opportunity has come, how can she not be anxious?

"Not now, there are still a few things missing." Chen Wanrong's words hit Zheng Qing's enthusiasm very much. Knowing that she would ask, Chen Wanrong said it first without waiting for her to ask: "There is no quartz sand, so we have to search by the river. There is no burning coal, and the bellows are not better."

Zheng Qing hurriedly asked, "Where should I find coal?"

"This is easy to deal with, you can go to Xishan." Chen Wanrong knew that there was anthracite in Xishan because of Zhang Deming. It doesn't take too much for an experiment. One or two hundred kilograms is enough. If you go to Xishan, you will definitely find the coal you need.

Zheng Qing was about to speak, when Chen Wangshi slapped her forehead, said oh, "Wanrong, go quickly, the shopkeeper Gao is here. When my mother saw this stove, she forgot about this matter."

Gao Dean is here, no wonder Chen Wangshi came here. Chen Wanrong thought she was here to join in the fun. He explained some precautions to the hired workers, and then went back to see Gao Dean.

When he returned to the yard, he saw Gao Qingtai standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, watching the hired workers busy, very leisurely. Chen Wanrong stepped forward and bowed, "I have met Brother Gao."

High-definition Thai bowed his fists and said, "Brother Chen is spared."

"Brother Gao is so leisurely." Chen Wanrong joked.

Gao Dean smiled and said, "Brother Chen has prepared the alcohol, so it won't be possible to make the eldest brother unhappy." It is too early to say that it is done well. According to the current progress, it will definitely not be a mistake. This is enough, and it will relieve Gao Dean.

After bringing Gao Qingtai into the house and serving tea, Chen Wanrong asked: "Brother Gao, I have something unknown. Why did you send alcohol to the Ministry of War?"

"Isn't this good?" Gao Qingtai asked back.

It’s good, it’s a bit strange. The pharmacy hasn’t placed an order yet, so the Ministry of War bought it first. Chen Wanrong really wanted to clarify the context.

Gao Qingtai was just a joke, and then said, "Brother has a few acquaintances in the Ministry of War. After returning to Chang'an, he put some alcohol in it and sent it to the Ministry of War and asked them to try it out. Brother, you have heard that the wonderful uses of alcohol. If it is adopted by the Ministry of War, it will be of great benefit to the soldiers. This matter not only makes money but also does something for the court. Why not kill two birds with one stone?"

This made Chen Wanrong feel in his heart. Alcohol appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which could not only make money, but also save countless people, and accumulate good deeds, and said with a smile: "What happened later?"

"What else can I do? I sent it the day before, and the next day, someone from the Ministry of War told me that I would have to deliver the goods within five days." Gao Qingtai said helplessly: "Brother thought that my brother had just tried to do a little, and was not ready to do a lot. I was afraid that it would be too late, so I asked Accountant Feng to come and say something. Unexpectedly, my brother was very quick, and I was worried for nothing." This was indeed beyond his expectations, and I was happy and laughed.

After talking for a long time, he still couldn't explain the whole story. Chen Wanrong was not satisfied. He only heard Gao Qingtai continue, "This matter is a bit strange, so I went to inquire afterwards. Brother, guess what?"

The matters in the court were complicated, so Chen Wanrong could guess it. He smiled and said, "Brother, don't keep it a secret, tell me quickly."

"Brother Chen, if you have an acquaintance in the Ministry of War, don't you say anything to your elder brother." High-definition Tai's words were enough to make Chen Wanrong confused.
