Chapter 29: The Scenery Moving

The two of them said a while and focused on discussing the production of the specific hydrometer. Yuan Tiancheng said that the second sintering does not require all burning, let alone too high temperature. As long as there is no water seep or fall off, it will be done. Being able to achieve these two points also meets Chen Wanrong's requirements. As for the quantity, Chen Wanrong said that it would take about twenty pieces of burning, and the time will be determined by Yuan Tiancheng. Yuan Tiancheng patted his chest and said that it would be done tomorrow. Chen Wanrong was waiting for use, so naturally the faster the better, and there was no other word.

After arguing the matter, the two chatted for a while. It was not until Yuan Tiancheng, who was drunk, said goodbye. He saw Yuan Tiancheng away, Chen Wanrong finished washing up and went to bed.

After getting up the next day, I walked away as usual. After rushing to the winery, I saw that the guys were already working enthusiastically under the command of Sun Zhengping and Xiao Zhizhong, all sweating profusely. Chen Wanrong and the two had seen the ceremony. The first sentence was not to ask them how they were going, but to ask: "Shopkeeper Sun, is this tea ready?"

The guys were all sweating profusely and they had to replenish a lot of water, so this tea became one of the most important questions. Sun Zhengping smiled and did not answer Chen Wanrong's question, but praised him: "Boss, you are such a good person! You care so much about people, which makes people feel warm."

Chen Wanrong said seriously: "This is what we should do. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so the problem of drinking water must be solved."

Sun Zhengping nodded and accepted the order: "Don't worry, boss, I've already thought about this. In the past, there were only a few people, and the problem of drinking water was a trivial matter. Now it's different, so we have to solve it first. Come, boss, you try this first." As he said that, he picked up a spoonful of tea in a large pottery jar and poured it into a bowl, and raised his hands to Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong took it and saw that the bright red tea smelled like tea. He tasted it first, and it was very cold and praised: "Okay!" After drinking it in a few sips, a cool feeling came straight from his throat and stomach, which made people feel cool, as if he had eaten ice cream.

"Herbal tea? How did you make it?" The Tang Dynasty did not have freezer and other freezer equipment. Chen Wanrong was really surprised to drink herbal tea in hot days.

Sun Zhengping smiled and explained: "Boss, this is easy to make. First, I use old tea root to make tea. After cooking, I put it in a pot, seal it with mud, put it in a cellar, and put it in a cellar. After a night, it will naturally become ice. If you want to drink it, just move it." The country people like to drink old tea roots because it is because of its heavy taste and strong power, and farmers are particularly fond of it.

"Good solution, good solution!" Chen Wanrong couldn't help but slamming the high ground. When he remembered the fact that he used watermelon in Jingshui Town in hot weather, it was really a bit similar. With this herbal tea, you don't have to worry about heatstroke in hot weather. Chen Wanrong was particularly satisfied.

Sun Zhengping said humbly: "The boss has won the award. These are the old ways in the past, so where is it better."

Chen Wanrong reminded him: "Eat and drink well."

"Boss, don't worry about this. I've arranged it long ago and I've specially recruited two people who know how to cook." Sun Zhengping was about to pat his chest.

Chen Wanrong was really relieved. With Sun Zhengping here, his advice seemed redundant. I didn’t say more, and walked around and patrolled. Xiao Zhizhong did a good job in training. Compared with the old employees, the newcomers were not lacking in distantness. As a newcomer, it would be good to be so skilled. Chen Wanrong was very satisfied and praised Xiao Zhizhong. Xiao Zhizhong was happy and said, "The boss is not the best place, they are smart, down-to-earth and willing to work hard."

"Shopkeeper Sun, how much alcohol can you make a day?" Chen Wanrong asked the most concerned question.

Sun Zhengping said confidently: "Boss, it depends on how to do it. If it is done normally, it will be about two thousand a day. If you have to hurry up, you can get faster."

"You guys have all calculated?" Chen Wanrong was a little surprised.

Xiao Zhizhong took over the conversation: "I guessed it, it should be a little different."

Chen Wanrong estimated that it was about 2,000 kilograms a day and nodded, "Just do it normally. If it is 2,000 kilograms a day, it will be about 60,000 kilograms a month. We only need 50,000 kilograms a month, and the extra 10,000 kilograms can be used for the large medicine shop."

"I don't care about my boss, I think so too." Sun Zhengping smiled and agreed.

Chen Wanrong had nothing to do except give some advice occasionally. After noon, Yuan Tiancheng came excitedly. Chen Wanrong thought: "Shopkeeper Yuan, is it done?"

Yuan Tiancheng first laughed in a long list of laughter and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, take a look first, is it suitable for you?" He put a package on the table and untied it.

When Chen Wanrong looked at it, there were five specific hydrometers inside, the hollow part of the lower part of the wine glass, the chopstick head size not hollow part, four or five inches long and short. Holding it in his hand, it had a smooth texture. The porcelain was burned very well, Yuan Tiancheng was worthy of the master, and Chen Wanrong couldn't help but praise him.

Looking at the junction, there were only a faint trace, and I couldn't see it if I didn't pay attention. Chen Wanrong asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yuan, you are such a skillful hand, only such a little new mud."

"Shopkeeper Chen, you like to praise others." Yuan Tiancheng said humbly and proudly: "I connected it with threads. I only need a little new mud to sinter it, and it doesn't need too much."

I believe that with his superb skills, the thread must be done well, and it only needs a little disposal. Chen Wanrong was very satisfied and asked, "How much mercury is contained?"

"Shopkeeper Chen, can't you trust me? Of course, I pretended according to your requirements." Yuan Tiancheng blurted out.

The proportion of mercury is large. If you install too much, it will sink. This is the key to whether the hydrometer can be used. Chen Wanrong had to ask specifically. After hearing this, he was relieved and said, "Okay, let's try it."

Sun Zhengping handed Yuan Tiancheng a bowl of herbal tea. Yuan Tiancheng raised his neck and drank it all over, saying, "It's cool, quench thirst, reduce heat, give it energy! Come again!" After drinking three bowls in a row, he gave up, and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, what should I try?"

"Simple!" Chen Wanrong only had two words, no further text. He called a basin of clear water and put the specific gravity gauge inside. The hollow part was sunk into the water. The straight rod was exposed and cut off the outside, floating vertically on the water surface. The exposed part of the straight rod was not short, which could fully meet Chen Wanrong's requirements and smiled and said, "Not bad."

Yuan Tiancheng smiled and put the other four into the basin, floating vertically in the water, with the straight rod facing upwards. He couldn't see clearly, so he asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Wanrong then explained to him: "I'm trying to use it if it's suitable. If there is too much mercury, this part will be shorter and cannot be used. If there is too little mercury, this part will float on the water surface and cannot be used. Now it's good." The first "part" refers to the straight stick, and the second one refers to the hollow part.

"There are also such etiquette." Yuan Tiancheng felt enlightened.

Chen Wanrong called Xiao Zhizhong and pointed to the specific gravity meter to explain to him: "This is a specific gravity meter. After I debug it, it will be much more convenient to use alcohol in the future. There is no need to do this now. You have to mark the line. Just put the specific gravity meter into the alcohol and you will know whether to add water or alcohol."

"There is also a good idea!" Xiao Zhizhong rubbed his hands and asked, "Boss, how to debug, tell me quickly."

Chen Wanrongte's advice: "There is mercury in it, remember not to break it. If it is accidentally broken, remember to clean it up. If the mercury falls into the alcohol, the corresponding alcohol will be invalid."

Mercury is toxic, and alcohol is used to treat diseases, which is very demanding. Chen Wanrong would rather use alcohol than take risks. This matter is of great importance. Chen Wanrong said it very seriously. Xiao Zhizhong nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, boss, I remember."

Ask Xiao Zhizhong to get some alcohol that has been distilled many times, and then bring two small basins. Chen Wanrong calculated that he prepared a basin of 75% alcohol, and then prepared a basin of 70% alcohol. When this is done, he put the specific hydrometer into 75% alcohol. When it is still, he took out the specific hydrometer and pointed to the wet seal. He was a little difficult: "I want to make a mark here. What's the best way?"

"Tie a thread!" Xiao Zhizhong blurted out without thinking.

Chen Wanrong vetoed: "No. The porcelain is very smooth and the lines are easily displaced."

Yuan Tiancheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you are afraid of moving, so you can draw a small pit first."

Chen Wanrong smiled: "Shopkeeper Yuan, you have a good idea, but who can draw a pit on it? The porcelain is very hard."

Yuan Tiancheng's eyes shone brightly and he kept clapping his hands, "Shopkeeper Chen, there are no other skills, Yuan still has this skill. If Manager Chen trusts me, you might as well give it a try."

Knowing his character, he would definitely not say this without being sure. Chen Wanrong was overjoyed and said, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Yuan."

Yuan Tiancheng took out a knife similar to a carving knife from his arms, took the specific gravity meter, held it in his hand, and the knife was rotated bit by bit at the mixed printing place. With just one breath, he put the knife in his eyes and looked at it, and handed it to Chen Wanrong and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, look, are you satisfied?"

Chen Wanrong took it and saw that the small pit was neither big nor small, neither deep nor shallow, with moderate width and narrowness, and very uniformity. It must be no problem to use it to tie the wire. His thumb raised his thumb and said, "Shopkeeper Yuan, a good method! I have seen it!"

"Shopkeeper Chen has passed the award, and he will become familiar with it after decades of working on porcelain." Yuan Tiancheng said in a faint humble sentence.

Chen Wanrong thought about solving the problem of the hydrometer, but he didn't have the heart to ask how he got the knife. He gently put the hydrometer into 70% of the alcohol. When he stopped and had not spoken, Yuan Tiancheng first asked Chen Wanrong for his meaning: "Okay?"

"Yes!" Chen Wanrong answered concisely. Yuan Tiancheng took it out and drew a scratch like before. Without waiting for Chen Wanrong to give instructions, Xiao Zhizhong tied a thin thread at each of the two scratches.

After doing this, Chen Wanrong said, "Let's go and tell you how to use it." Go straight to the place where the alcohol is served. Sun Zhengping, Xiao Zhizhong and Yuan Tiancheng followed him with great strides, looking curious.

When he arrived at the room with alcohol, there was a tank of alcohol. Chen Wanrong put down the specific hydrometer one by one. When he stopped, the liquid level was exactly between two thin lines. He nodded and said, "It's a good match."

"Boss, what do you think about this?" Sun Zhengping was a little confused.

Chen Wanrong pointed to the specific hydrometer and said, "After matching, put the specific hydrometer gently inside, wait until it is still, and see if the water surface is between two lines. If it is in the middle, the alcohol you are given is available. If it is not in the middle, you need to adjust it."

Specific gravity is the relative density. The liquid is generally compared with water. The specific gravity of water is one. With a 20-degree thermometer, the specific gravity of the alcohol concentration of 75% is zero.87. The specific gravity of 70% alcohol is zero.885. The specific gravity of the alcohol that Chen Wanrong needs is only between these two values. Chen Wanrong does not require the specific gravity, because it is related to the temperature. The current conditions cannot be achieved, so we can only say that it is almost the same.

Although the difference between the two numbers is not big, fortunately, the hydrometer is well done, and the distance between the two thin lines is very clear and not confusing.

"How to adjust?" Xiao Zhizhong's eyes were bulging and he was very anxious. This question was what Sun Zhengping thought, staring at Chen Wanrong.

Even if he didn't ask, Chen Wanrong would tell him and immediately explain in which case water is added and alcohol is added. Finally, Chen Wanrong said a very suitable method: "In fact, you can use the previous method and the specific hydrometer. First match the previous method, then use the specific hydrometer to measure it. If it does not meet the requirements, then make adjustments."

Sun Zhengping and Xiao Zhizhong raised their thumbs together and praised in unison: "This is a good idea!" Xiao Zhizhong had a good understanding and added: "Use the previous method to match it, it is better. If there is any problem, you just need to adjust it a little."

In our current words, it is to "finalize the final adjustment". Chen Wanrongda praised his statement from the bottom of his heart: "It's good, that's it. It's convenient and saves trouble."

Yuan Tiancheng also saw it and was satisfied: "Shopkeeper Chen, I will say goodbye first. I have done these for you to verify, and I will do the rest soon."

"I'm working hard!" Chen Wanrong and Sun Zhengping sent Yuan Tiancheng away, and then they devoted themselves to alcohol.

At night, after the work time was over, it was calculated and it took a little more than 2,000 yuan. Xiao Zhizhong and his team calculated it very accurately. At this rate, they would have to be sent every two or three days, otherwise there would be no place to put it on.

The issue of delivery is a bit tricky, because Chen Wanrong does not have a convoy and cannot transport it by himself. Chen Wanrong called Ou Sheng and Sun Zhengping to discuss it. As soon as Chen Wanrong said the meaning, Ou Sheng came up with an idea: "This is not difficult at all. We cannot set up a convoy by ourselves just because of the alcohol delivery. As we do so now, it will only take two months. After two months, it will be useless. I mean, ask someone to go and tell the car shop that we will send someone to the car shop."

Chen Wanrong thought so too, but some specific matters need to be arranged, so the two of them need to work together. Sun Zhengping immediately agreed and asked: "Boss, look, in two months, the alcohol will be finished. Even if those big pharmacies want, it will not be possible to have so much. What should I do if people are idle?"

Ou Sheng said with a smile without thinking: "That's not simple. Let's give them some money to compensate them wherever they go. With the character of the Dong family, they will never treat them unfairly, and they are still unhappy."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Look at that time, maybe you will say why this person is not enough?"

Sun Zhengping blinked his eyes and asked, "Boss, do you have something new to do?"

Perfume is about to be made, and then it is glass. These two things are launched, and there are more things to do. There are rounds of people who need it, so how little will it be. Of course, I can't tell them now, and they may not believe it even if they say it. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I just have some ideas. Then I will talk about it, maybe there will be new products."

Ou Sheng frowned and said, "Boss, I think, the day after tomorrow, you will take a group to the Ministry of War to hand over it first. If you have something to do in Chang'an, you have to rush over. Do one thing, okay?"

This arrangement is good, and Chen Wanrong has no reason to disagree and said, "Okay. At that time, Brother Ou will also go with me. In the future, Gong is afraid that Brother Ou will have to pay more attention to the delivery of alcohol."

It’s not that I don’t believe Sun Zhengping, but Ou Sheng is really from the government. When dealing with the government, it naturally makes it more convenient. Sun Zhengping naturally understands the benefits and agrees very much: “Yes.”

"Finish!" Ou Sheng said nothing, and tapped on the table with his right hand: "Don't worry, let me leave this matter to me, and there will be no mistake in the certificate."

Sun Zhengping reminded: "Boss, you will go to Chang'an the day after tomorrow, and you will have a very glorious journey. Manager Ou, we have to hold a lively ceremony to send off the boss."

"Good idea!" Ou Sheng agreed first and quivered: "Boss, don't refuse, this is what you should do. You are going to Qiandi, even if you don't want to be lively, don't we still want it? How many people are qualified in Qiandi? Manager Sun, do you think so?"

Sun Zhengping was very excited and said with a smile: "That's all there is to say. Manager Ou, leave this matter to you. Remember, if it is not glorious enough, don't blame the old brother for spitting your saliva."

"Okay!" Ou Sheng laughed and looked at Chen Wanrong proudly: "Boss, do you have anything to say?"
