    Chen Wanrong, a person who understands etiquette, would not be rude. He said hurriedly: "Dad, what are you talking about? It doesn't sound good if you don't give orders. I can't do it alone, so I need your help."

    Chen Wang was the first to praise: "Old man, you heard Wan Rong speak so politely, but it's not like you screamed like a mountain when you asked someone to do a favor, as if I owed you. From now on, learn more from Wan Rong.  Courtesy."

    Chen Laoshi¡¯s face got a little hot when he exposed the scandal in public, and he argued: ¡°A daughter is born like her mother, and a son is born like his father. Wan Rong understands etiquette so well, it¡¯s not something I taught him as a father.¡±

    He really didn¡¯t blush after receiving the merit. Chen Wangshi covered her mouth and couldn¡¯t stop laughing, pointing at Chen Laoshi: ¡°Old man, you are so thick-skinned!¡±

    Chen Wanrong and Chen Zairong also smiled at each other, but they were both smart people and did not join the ranks of exposing Chen Laoshi's bad habits. Chen Wanrong diverted their attention at the right time: "I'll go find a bucket."

    "Bucket? Yes, I just made a new bucket, just for you." Chen Laoshi was very happy when he thought that the wooden bucket he prepared would come in handy, his eyebrows were flying, and he couldn't help but be happy.

    "I'll move." Before Chen Laoshi could finish his words, Chen Zairong had already run away like a gust of wind. After saying this, he had already entered the house.  When he came out, there was a brand new barrel in his left hand.

    This wooden barrel was very big, about the same size as Li Qingquan¡¯s wooden barrel for soaking leather. It weighed forty or fifty kilograms. Chen Zairong grabbed the edge of the barrel and carried it over as easily as he grasped four taels of cotton.  Chen Wanrong had seen him dance with the Modao before, and knew that he was extremely powerful, so he was not surprised.

    As soon as he put the bucket down, Chen Zairong didn't blush or breath, as if it didn't happen at all, and asked: "Brother, what else do you want? Just tell me, I'll move it."

    "I want water, I want lime." Chen Wanrong was only halfway through his words when Chen Zairong said, "Look at me," and he was already far away.

    "Wanrong, is this bucket useful?" Chen Laoshi stared at Chen Wanrong closely, like a student waiting for the teacher to correct his homework, with a look of anticipation on his face, hoping to get Chen Wanrong's approval.

    Chen Wanrong satisfied his vanity in a small way: "It's easy to use. But don't use it. This is a new bucket and can be sold for money. Just use an old bucket."

    In the past, Chen Laoshi would definitely have been in favor of Chen Wanrong's proposal, but today it didn't work out. Chen Laoshi shook his head and objected: "Wanrong, don't feel bad about a bucket, it's not worth much. If it's used up, daddy will still be there.  , Daddy will make it for you." His chest puffed up, and he was so overwhelmed.

    Mrs. Chen Wang discovered Chen Wanrong's thrifty virtues again, and smiled very happily: "Wanrong, you have made five guan of money for the family in one go. This bucket is only 100 guan, so you can use it with confidence. If it breaks, call me  Your father will make it for you. There isn¡¯t much else in the house, just a lot of wood.¡±

    Chen Laoshi and his wife are so enthusiastic to cooperate. Rather than helping Chen Wanrong make money, it is better to say that they are acknowledging what Chen Wanrong has done.  Chen Wanrong could no longer refuse their hospitality and said, "Thank you, parents, for taking the trouble."

    "Thank you very much, just a little handy work." Chen Laoshi enjoyed Chen Wanrong's words of thanks very much.

    ¡°Here we come!¡± With a cheer, Chen Zairong stretched his arms in a straight line, holding a wooden bucket filled with water in each hand, and rushed towards him like a Shaolin monk practicing martial arts.  Two wooden buckets filled with water weighed almost a hundred pounds. He seemed to be fine. He ran like fallen leaves in the wind. There was only a slight sound. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to hear it. Chen Wanrong marveled at him again.  Excellent kung fu.

    "Zairong, you are injured, don't mention it so much." Chen Wanrong was very concerned about this younger brother who was strong, skilled in martial arts, clever and enthusiastic.

    Chen Zairong poured water into the bucket and said with a smile: "Brother, it's okay. This little injury is nothing. I have suffered more serious injuries. Brother, do you want more?"

    Chen Wanrong looked into the bucket, made a rough estimate, and said, "Two more buckets will be enough."

    "I'll go again." Chen Zairong rushed away with the bucket.

    "I'll move the lime." Chen Laoshi volunteered, followed in Chen Zairong's footsteps, and went into the house.

    "I'll get the soda ash." Chen Wangshi didn't fall behind either.

    The old couple had seen Chen Wanrong making caustic soda yesterday and knew that lime and soda ash were necessary, so they left one after another.  Although they had good intentions, Chen Wanrong would not be a failure to the point of exhausting his parents and leaving himself free, so he hurriedly followed them.

    When Chen Wanrong came to the house, Chen Laoshi had already picked up the sack containing lime. Chen Wang was about to get the soda ash, but Chen Wanrong picked it up first: "Mom, I'll come."

    "Wanrong, isn't it different if I come here? Look, just assign them, and we'll take care of the other things." Mrs. Chen Wang enjoyed Chen Wanrong's filial piety in not letting her work too hard, with a look on her face.smile.

    Chen Wanrong was very touched by her kindness and said with a smile: "Mom, my son has something to do, so how can I help you?"

    Mrs. Chen Wang admired Chen Wanrong's intentions very much. She stretched out her hand to help Chen Wanrong stretch his collar. Without saying anything, he turned away and wiped his tears.  What mother would not be touched by a son who understands etiquette and is so filial?

    When I came to the stove outside, I saw Chen Zairong standing by the bucket, looking into the bucket, with two empty buckets beside him, and asked: "Brother, is it enough?"

    Chen Wanrong took a quick look and said: "That's enough. Next, it's time to make lime water. The lime blocks are too big, so we have to break them into small pieces and put them in a bucket."

    Quicklime is in the form of lumps, weighing several kilograms each, and a large one weighing no less than ten kilograms. If you put it in like this, it will easily cause the local temperature to be too high and boiling water to splash everywhere.  Because quicklime reacts with water to produce slaked lime, it releases a large amount of heat energy, which can cook eggs.  The alkalinity of lime water is not weak. If it splashes on people, it will burn the skin and is not safe enough.

    Second, the reaction time is too long and takes a lot of effort.  Break it into small pieces and put them in evenly to make the temperature uniform, prevent the local temperature from being too high, and shorten the time.

    "I'm going to get the axe." Chen Zairong jumped far away in excitement, as if the wind was blowing away.  When he turned around, there was a bright ax in his hand, which was exactly the ax that Mr. Chen used for wood work.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it were not for Chen Laoshi, who was good at carpentry, and took on some work from time to time, to make some money to support his family, the life of this impoverished family would have been even more difficult.  This ax is Chen Laoshi's treasure and lifeblood, and has made great contributions to the family.  When he saw Chen Zai Rong actually bringing his own ax, Chen Laoshi couldn't help but gasped and made a slight noise. He wanted to stop Chen Zai Rong from using it, but then he thought about it, even if the ax was broken, it would only cost dozens of coins and five strings.  The money was incomparable, so I refrained from speaking.

    It¡¯s not impossible to do this with an ax, but there are other considerations. Before Chen Wanrong could remind him, Chen Zairong had already raised the ax and smashed it down.  With a bang, a bowl-sized piece of lime shattered into fist-sized pieces.

    Chen Zairong is a clever man. He is not stupid enough to chop with the blade. Instead, he uses the flat end to smash the ax and uses it as a hammer. This is the magic effect of the ax to smash the lime.  Chen Wanrong admired his quick response. Chen Laoshi felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

    After smashing almost fifteen kilograms, Chen Wanrong stopped.  For ten kilograms of caustic soda, according to the theoretical calculation using the law of conservation of mass, almost ten kilograms of lime is enough.  In actual production, the consumption of lime must be much greater than this. First, the lime may not have been burnt; second, the lime is not 100% pure and may contain impurities; third, there is loss. Considering these factors, ten  Five pounds of lime is enough.

    Chen Wanrong picked up a piece of lime and carefully put it into the barrel.  The reaction between quicklime and water to produce slaked lime is a violent chemical reaction that quickly releases a large amount of heat energy.  The lime was just immersed in the water, and there was only a hissing sound. Tiny water splashes scattered on the water, making small ripples one after another.

    Chen Laoshi, Chen Wangshi, and Chen Zairong were not idle either. They followed Chen Wanrong's example and picked up the lime and carefully put it into the water.  By the time fifteen pounds of lime was put into the water, the wooden barrel had turned into a steamer. White gas was rising, water was splashing, and the ground around the barrel became wet.

    "Back away." Chen Wanrong reminded quickly for fear of hurting others.

    The temperature rises, the water vapor rises, and the unpleasant smell of lime wafts, making people sick. Chen Wanrong did not need to remind Chen Laoshi and the others, they pinched their noses and ran away.

    Looking at the white steaming wooden barrel, Chen Laoshi said in confusion: "Wanrong, what's going on? I saw you doing something very simple yesterday, why is it so complicated today?"

    The caustic soda test yesterday was just a small experiment. It was very simple to do the test. Just shake the test tube and it took a while, but the production was much more complicated. The more complicated ones are yet to come. (Remember the website address:  www.hlnovel.com
