Chapter 11: Be prepared

The next day, Chen Wanrong slept and was the first lazy sleep after coming to the Tang Dynasty. He did not get up early, nor did he go to take a walk. He didn't get up until the sun was at midnight. After resting for a night, his energy and spirit had almost recovered. If he could forget about this, it would be even more perfect, but this was impossible.

When I looked at the bronze mirror, my finger marks appeared on my neck, and the black and blue were so scary. No matter how good Liu Side's martial arts are, I'm not going to deal with it. It's the first time in my life that I have the pleasure of a winner, and it's really a pleasure to defeat such a master.

He picked up Liu Side's sword and drew his sword out of the sheath. The cold sword light made people feel chilled. Chen Wanrong blurted out: "Good sword!" He became angry and his wrists trembled. He wanted to play a sword flower, but the sword body was just shaking a few times. Without this skill, he could not play it.

I found a piece of cloth, and the sword body was flat. The cloth was lifted more than one foot away from the sword body. The cloth slowly floated down, drifting over the sword edge, split into two, and fell to the ground. What a great sword, no worse than the sword made by Ye Tianheng. If I were given to Chen Zairong, I would definitely like it.

He returned the sword to the sheath, hung it on the wall, and walked out. When he came to the yard, he stretched his body. Once this person got used to getting up early, he always felt that it was not that good to sleep in. He could only feel comfortable after exercising.

"Wanrong, is it better?" Chen Wang looked at Chen Wanrong very pity: "If you feel uncomfortable, go and invite a half-immortal to come back to exorcise evil spirits." She thought Chen Wanrong was really watching ghosts fight.

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "Mom, look, do I seem to have any problems?"

After taking a closer look, Chen Wang nodded affirmatively and said, "It's not bad, but fortunately this ghost is not good. You are a tough life, and the ghost can't do anything to you. Wanrong, go to have a meal quickly and keep it for you."

I was really hungry. When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw my second aunt busy. Chen Wang hurriedly unboxing the pot, brought out the food, and placed it on the table: "Wanrong, eat quickly, don't be hungry."

Without saying much, Chen Wanrong sat down and picked up the bowl to swallow it. Looking at Chen Wanrong's eating habits, Chen Wangshi couldn't help frowning: "Wanrong, are you hungry? Slow down, don't choke. Wanrong, you rest well today, don't do anything. People who see ghosts have to hide in the house!"

There are so many things, and I can't live if I want to rest. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mom, I still have something to do, I'm going out soon."

Chen Wang slapped his forehead and asked, "Wanrong, why haven't Miss Zheng come these two days?" Zheng Qing came when she had time. Now she hasn't come for two days. How could she not be surprised?

"She is working on a female worker at home." Chen Wanrong really wanted to see her if she didn't have any black marks on her neck. She would definitely worry about it now, so she would rather let her stay at home.

Chen Wangshi asked carefully, "Make clothes for you? What a good girl."

The truth is indeed so. Chen Wanrong didn't comment. He had a good meal, put down the bowl, and said, "Mom, give me a bag, I'll go and get back in the same thing."

"What's the matter?" Chen Wang asked casually.

Chen Wanrong said without thinking, "Stone."

Chen Wangshi burst out laughing: "Wanrong, you always tell jokes and make your mother happy."

What else can quartz sand besides a stone? She listened to the truth that Chen Wanrong told, but Chen Wanrong didn't explain, took the bag and left the kitchen. When he came to the stable, he saw blue and white flowers surrounding Xiao Hei. Since Xiao Hei was injured, his energy has been greatly reduced. He loves to lie on the ground, and blue and white flowers surrounding it all day long.

He took the cloth and saw that Xiao Hei's wound was healing and it would be fine in a few days. He patted Xiao Hei's head, and Xiao Hei was very happy and opened his eyes and kept sniffing.

He led blue and white out of the stable, flew onto a horse, and galloped away. Chen Wanrong was preparing for glass, and now he lacked quartz sand. If you want to find high-quality quartz sand, it is best to find a quartz deposit. It doesn’t matter if there is no quartz deposit, you can go to the river to find it.

There was a river to the west, and Chen Wanrong went straight to the horse. In less than half an hour, he heard the sound of water. Chen Wanrong came to the river by the horse. The river was not wide and the water flow was not large, so he could only be considered a small river.

Jump off the horse, let go of the reins, let blue and white flowers follow behind him. Walk along the river and start looking for quartz sand.

Quartz sand can be found by the river, but it is fundamentally different from river sand. River sand is formed by repeated erosion and friction by water flow. The surface is smooth and there are many impurities, and its composition is very complex. Quartz sand has good smoothness, smoothness and contains less mud, and silica is its main component.

After walking for a while, I didn't find quartz sand. There were a few children playing and playing with water by the river. Chen Wanrong walked over and the children looked at Chen Wanrong, somewhat alert.

"You often play by the river?" Chen Wanrong asked. If they often play by the river and are familiar with it, they can ask where they have quartz sand.

A child blinked his eyes and replied: "Yes, uncle."

"I didn't lie to uncle!" Chen Wanrong confirmed.

Another child said childishly: "Uncle, my name is Dog'er. He is a cat and a pig. We often play here and haven't lie to you."

Chen Wanrong stopped, squatted down, and wiped his little face: "Do you want to eat good food?"

Which child is not greedy? The children's eyes shining: "I want to!"

"If you want to, just tell your uncle where there is white sand, and translucent sand is fine." Chen Wanrong then got into the topic and offered a reward: "Tell uncle, I'll treat you to the food."

Quartz sand is milky white or translucent, which is different from river sand. If there is one, children will definitely know.

The pig was a little fat, tilted his neck and thought for a while, turned around, and pointed forward: "Uncle, there is something in front of you."

Chen Wanrong's eyes shone and asked, "Really? How far is it from here." Just relying on himself to find it is like a blind cat hitting a mouse to death. The hope is too slim. Now that there is news, can you be unhappy?

"Uncle, I'll take you there." Maoer stared at Chen Wanrong, hoping.

However, a boy of six or seven years old is small and short, and asking them to lead the way is to abuse children. More importantly, if he sees it, he might treat me as a human trafficker. Chen Wanrong touched his little head and said warmly: "Be good at Maoer, tell uncle, go by yourself."

The dog pointed ahead and said, "It's right there. There's a little bit in front of that big stone."

Chen Wanrong saw that there was a big stone at the extreme of his eyes. The distance was not far. He really wanted them to lead the way, but he was really a child abuser. He smiled and said, "Thank you. Come and buy delicious food."

Chen Wanrong took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and stuffed them some of them. As for the quantity, Chen Wanrong didn't count it. I don't know, it's probably almost the same if it's not forty or fifty cents.

The children held the copper coins and couldn't even close their mouths. They thanked each other with their mouths and their tender childish voices were full of gratitude, which made Chen Wanrong very kind. It would be great if someone gave me money to buy candy when he was a child!

Waving his hand, Chen Wanrong flew onto the horse and galloped away. A child's voice came from behind him, "Uncle, go!" He looked back and waved at him, "What a good child, waved goodbye."

When he arrived at the big rock, he pulled the horse's reins and slowed down and walked slowly. A faint sunlight shone from the ground. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but close his eyes. After a closer look, there was a pile of translucent sand not far away, with grease luster and reflecting sunlight.

What else can it be if it is not quartz sand? Chen Wanrong was very happy. He flew off the horse, came close to him, squatted down, and stroked his hands on it. He put his hands smoothly, as if touching it on a mirror. He picked up a piece and looked at the sunlight. The shell-shaped fracture and the content of silica should be not low.

Put the bag on the ground, hold the quartz sand and put it in the bag. The layer on the top is very clean, there is no mud and sand. There is a lot of mud and sand below. Chen Wanrong doesn’t care about that much. The sand can be washed, so let’s talk about it when I get it back.

He packed a bag full of it, but didn't even have a fraction of it. He tied the hole, put it on the horse's back, flew on the horse, and rode the horse home.

When I got home, I threw the bag to the well and drove the blue and white flowers to the stable. Then I went to the stove to get something to wash the sand. But I grabbed Chen Wang's hand: "Wanrong, I'm back so soon, what's the matter?" I was cooking, oil and gas, and I was in the mood to ask these things, so I really had the leisure to ask.

We can't blame Chen Wangshi. She knew that Chen Wanrong always made strange things and couldn't let go without asking.

"Mom, I've got some sand back and I'm going to clean up the sand." Chen Wanrong answered truthfully, picked up the sieve and left.

Chen Wanrong was confused and shook his head, "This Wanrong is going to do all the unfair things. What's the use of sand? Ah, it's almost burnt!" He was busy flipping through dishes.

Xiao Shangrong was standing aside to get some breath, and Chen Wanrong was worried that no one would take action, so he grabbed him as a strong man: "Come here to help."

After trotting over, Xiao Shangrong asked, "Brother, what are you going to do? Do you want me to call a few people?"

"No need, it's only two of us. What do so many people do when cleaning sand?" Chen Wanrong walked to the well, poured some quartz sand into the sieve, and ordered: "Come some water."

Xiao Shangrong stared at Chen Wanrong and complained: "Brother, you have nothing to do after eating? What's the point of making up this sand?"

"Is this sand? You see clearly." Chen Wanrong reminded.

Xiao Shangrong looked carefully and found that it was different from the sand he was familiar with, and it was shiny. He said it was not sand, but it was definitely found from the riverside. He couldn't help but wonder and asked, "What kind of sand is this?" Quartz sand can be found by the river, but the probability is not high. Xiao Shangrong had never seen it before, so he couldn't be curious.

"This is called quartz sand. I have something to do, so I have to wash out the mud and sand first." Chen Wanrong looked at his mysterious look and had to explain to him.

Xiao Shangrong then realized that after a few sounds, he dug the well and poured it down. Chen Wanrong turned it over. The two of them worked together and they took it once in a while. They poured it into the container. After washing it again and again, after all, Chen Wanrong was also tired and sweated. If Xiao Shangrong had no help, he would be even more tired.

After the shopping, the two moved to the yard, poured it on the stone slab, and dried it. Water should be added when preparing ingredients, but the water is not added like this. There are other requirements, so it is best to dry it.

"It's time to eat! Wanrong, it's time to eat." Chen Wangshi wiped his hands and started to ask people to eat. The hired workers put down their work and went to lunch in groups of three or three.

Wang Zhongze happened to come over, and Chen Wanrong asked, "Master Wang, is the bellows ready?"

A little embarrassed, Wang Zhongze touched his chin: "Owner, I haven't made this bellows before. It's easy to say, but it's harder to do it. It always leaks. Don't worry, I will do it quickly."

The biggest problem with the bellows is the sealing, otherwise the air leakage will be leaking. Wang Zhongze has never done it before, so it is naturally not easy to do it. In reason, Chen Wanrong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, just take the time to do it."

Wang Zhongze knew that Chen Wanrong was waiting to use it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked. The stove was ready and all the ingredients were available, so he was short of a bellows. He thought for a while and said, "Our boss, you can do it before dark."

He is a honest person and will not say this without confidence. Chen Wanrong was relieved: "That's good." The two walked side by side to the canteen.

After lunch, I came out and saw that the quartz sand was almost done, so I could make it when the bellows were ready.

However, there are a few small things to deal with before doing it. If these problems are not handled, the glass will not be easy to make. Chen Wanrong called Xiao Shangrong and took him to the house where the feldstone was released and said, "Let me find someone who is strong and can beat the feldstone, and can smash it."

Feldspar is relatively large, ranging from ten kilograms to a small kilogram. If it is not smashed, it will not be easy to use. The Tang Dynasty did not have crushing equipment, so it could only use this stupidest method.

"Okay!" Xiao Shangrong responded and was about to call someone, but stopped Chen Wanrong: "No need to smash too much, just 20 or 30 kilograms."

Xiao Shangrong nodded and said, "I know."

"Come with me, there is something for you." Chen Wanrong led Xiao Shangrong to the stove, came to the stove cave, pointed at the charcoal and said, "It takes half a bowl of charcoal to crush me. It must be fine, just like flour."

Xiao Shangrong was surprised all of a sudden. It was understandable to smash feldstones. He couldn't figure it out anyway. He stared at the boss: "Brother, what's the use of this? You really have nothing to do after eating, and you always do these unfair things."

Charcoal is a good thing. In addition to heating, it also has many uses. It is necessary to make glass and gunpowder. But he didn't know. Chen Wanrong's face sank and said, "Can I use it for useless things? I must do it well, and I will use it tomorrow."

His tone was firm and it was not like telling a lie at all. Xiao Shangrong had to believe it and patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, you must do it well. Brother, where are you going?"

Chen Wanrong had already stepped out of the door with his right foot: "I'll go to the town and buy something. It's not enough to have charcoal powder alone. I have to need another thing to make."

Amid Xiao Shangrong's series of ohs, Chen Wanrong left the kitchen and looked around. He left home and went straight to the town. The Zheng family wanted to go, but they couldn't go with the black green on their necks, otherwise they would worry Yiren. They couldn't do glass, but they had nothing to do, so they walked slowly.

I came to the county town and wandered around for a while. I happened to come to Huichun Hall and walked in. Last time, in order to save Sun Dongquan, Chen Wanrong came to this medicine shop. The doctor was dozing off that day, and today the same thing was the same. The doctor leaned on the chair and slept soundly, his nose was slightly breathing, and sweat was oozing from his nose.

With a cough, Chen Wanrong raised his voice and shouted: "It's time to collect the money!"

The doctor suddenly woke up: "Who? It's so scary! Just like thunder, will you whisper?" Rubbing his eyes, looking at Chen Wanrong, and after looking at him for a long time, he recognized him, and glared: "It's you again! Is there an needle inserted in the back of his neck?"

Last time Chen Wanrong came here to ask him if he could take the needle on the back of his neck. He didn't believe it and talked a lot, but today he gave it a question. Chen Wanrong held back his funny words: "Who has the needle on the back of his neck? You? Show me."

The doctor looked angry and said in dissatisfaction: "I have nothing to do after eating, I have a needle on the back of my neck! What's wrong with you today? If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me to rest."

Last time he came, he chased Chen Wanrong to do business, but today he was in a hurry to drive Chen Wanrong away. The change of this person was really big. He ignored him and said straight: "Is there any Glauber's salt? Give me a few pounds."

"Glauber's salt? How many pounds do you want?" The doctor's eyes suddenly turned wide: "Your stomach is not good? You can't pull it out! How many pounds do you want to eat as food! If you can't pull it out, use Glauber's salt to treat it. There are so many, but you won't cure it into a pig with paniculata!"

Glauber's salt is sodium sulfate dehydrate, which is a multi-purpose raw material and a must-have in the glass industry. It is also a good laxative, and it must be used to treat constipation. In the minds of the Tang people, Glauber's salt is of no use except for treating diseases. Doctors do not think that Chen Wanrong's stomach is blocked and constipation is abnormal.

If you want a few pounds at a time, it is not a problem for treating a person. It is okay to treat dozens of them. The doctor's idea is right, but his words are too harsh. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel angry and stared at him and said, "Can you speak more tactfully?"

The doctor also woke up and thought he had a serious grammatical disease, so he quickly changed the topic: "I'll give you a thumbs up."

Lay oil paper on the counter, open the medicine cabinet, grab a large piece of fist and put it on the oil paper. Chen Wanrong picked it up and shines in front of the sun. It is crystal clear and very beautiful.
