    Since Zheng Qing met Chen Wanrong, she has never seen him so surprised that he actually got carried away.  Zheng Qing blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Wanrong. She was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

    ¡° If Zheng Qing hadn¡¯t understood Chen Wanrong well and knew that he would never do anything incomprehensible, otherwise she would have thought that the tendons on the back of his neck were in the wrong direction.

    "It's just that Chen Wanrong hugged a stone and kissed it fiercely. This was quite embarrassing. Any girl would be embarrassed by this feeling. Zheng Qing's face turned red with shame, and she hurriedly turned her head away.  Even so, my heart is still pounding, as if a jumping deer is about to burst out of my chest at any time.

    Chen Wanrong looked at the sun for a while, then turned to Zheng Qing and said, "Do you know what a good thing this is?"

    Zheng Qing turned her head, the shy look on her face did not fade, she did not dare to look at Chen Wanrong, looked directly at the blue stone, and said softly: "Brother Chen, what is this? You are so excited."

    "This is gall alum!" Chen Wanrong answered her question. Without waiting for her to ask, he explained to her with a smile: "This thing can make sulfuric acid. Senior Hu Gangzi used this gall alum to make sulfuric acid decades ago."  of sulfuric acid."

    Gall vitriol is copper sulfate pentahydrate. Hu Gangzi, an alchemist of the Tang Dynasty, produced the first sulfuric acid in human history through the burning method in the seventh century AD, hundreds of years earlier than in the West.  This happened two years after Jingyun, but only a few decades.

    Sulfuric acid is known as the "Mother of Industry" and is widely used in all walks of life. Without sulfuric acid in modern society, our living comfort would be greatly reduced.  With sulfuric acid, Chen Wanrong's chemical industry has become more impressive. Chen Wanrong couldn't restrain his excitement: "With bile alum, I can make sulfuric acid, which can be used to make many things. It's just too little, so I can only use  Let¡¯s do an experiment.¡±

    Even if it is an experiment, it is enough to make Chen Wanrong excited for a while.

    "Congratulations to Brother Chen!" Zheng Qing said congratulations to Chen Wanrong with affectionate eyes.

    Chen Wanrong took the gall alum into his arms, touched his chin and muttered: "Gall alum usually appears near mineral deposits, especially in copper mines. There is gall alum here, and there must be a mine nearby. This should be for  People got tired of playing and threw it here."

    Copper sulfate pentahydrate in nature generally exists in the oxidation zone of mineral deposits. Gall alum is found here, and there must be mineral deposits nearby. Chen Wanrong's eyes are particularly bright: "We look hard, maybe we can find it."

    Looking at Chen Wanrong¡¯s appearance, he would definitely not go back unless he found her. Zheng Qing smiled and said, ¡°Okay!¡±

    Chen Wanrong remounted his horse, looked around, then hurried inside.  Zheng Qing rode up to follow.  After walking for a while, the path disappeared and weeds were everywhere, and we actually came to a wasteland.

    "Brother Chen, someone has been here before." Zheng Qing pointed to the roadless wasteland and explained: "Brother Chen, you see, the ground here is very hard. Even if weeds grow on it, it is difficult to hide its traces. Here  It should be a road.¡±

    The analysis made sense. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "That's right! Let's walk along the road and take a look." He rode away.  Not far away, he found a piece of gall alum lying in the grass. Chen Wanrong shouted excitedly: "Yes, the deposit is nearby!" He jumped off the horse and picked up the gall alum.

    Zheng Qing stretched out her jade-like hand: "Brother Chen, show me!" with a curious look on her face.

    Chen Wanrong handed it to her, and Zheng Qing took it in her hand, looked at the sun, and praised: "Wow! It's so beautiful! It's blue, like a sapphire! Brother Chen, give this piece to me." No.  Wait for Chen Wanrong to speak and put it into your arms first.

    Although the current gallbladder is precious, it is not inferior to this, and Chen Wanrong has no reason not to accept it.  The two of them led the horses and headed inside.  From time to time, courage will be discovered, and Chen Wanrong's judgment was correct.

    "Brother Chen, look, there is a hole here!" Zheng Qing pointed to the left hand side in surprise.

    Chen Wanrong took a look and saw that it was not just a hole, but a mine.  The entrance to the cave was supported by wood, which was in a state of decay.  Chen Wanrong trotted over and saw several pieces of bile on the roadside before he reached the entrance of the cave.  When I came to the entrance of the cave, I looked inside and saw dozens of pieces of gall alum of different sizes lying quietly in the grass.

    Occasionally, copper sand can be seen in the cave, so it should be a copper mine.  Look at this scene, it has been abandoned for decades.

    In ancient China, the metal that dynasties valued most was not iron, but copper.  Because copper is used to cast money, of course iron coins have also been cast, but they are not as widely used as copper coins.  And money is related to the court's tax revenue and the rise and fall of the dynasty, so it is taken very seriously.

    A very strange phenomenon often occurs, that is, copper coins are not as valuable as copper.  Once this happens, someone will melt the copper coins to exchange for gold and silver, and they can become rich.

    Having more copper all the timeThis contract is very ordinary in modern times, but it was very kind in the Tang Dynasty. There is no other contract in the world except Chen Wanrong.  Chen Wanrong checked it briefly and found that there was no problem, so he put it away.

    The guys were surrounding the wine vat, stretching their necks as if there were treasures in the wine vat. Chen Wanrong was curious and hurried over.  When I came to the wine tank and took a look, I saw a mountain-shaped pile of wine mash in the wine tank, and clear wine pulp was seeping out of the wine mash.

    Although the term "shochu" appeared in the Tang Dynasty, there was no soju as we know it in the Tang Dynasty. Instead, low-alcohol wines such as rice wine and sake were consumed.  The brewing method is not through distillation, but by grinding the rice into powder, steaming it, spreading it out and cooling it.  Sprinkle the rice flour with rice flour, sprinkle a layer of rice flour with a layer of rice flour, and repeat until it is almost done, then it forms a mountain shape.  In order to facilitate fermentation, it must be pressed tightly.

    Then cover it with a clean cloth and let it ferment.  After a while, the wine pulp will seep out. In order to prevent the alcohol from evaporating, water must be added to the wine tank to dissolve the alcohol in the water for storage.

    After fermentation is complete, and then processed, drinking wine can be obtained.

    This wine mash has already oozed wine, and the fermentation time is not short.  Although there was only a little bit of wine syrup, the aroma was tangy and alluring, and Chen Wanrong twitched his nose.  A waiter scooped up a small half of the bowl with a bowl, held it with both hands, and handed it to Chen Wanrong: "Shopkeeper, this is the first vat of wine we brewed today. Please try it!" He looked at Chen Wanrong, a little nervous.

    Xiao Zhizhong and the others also looked at Chen Wanrong, hoping for Chen Wanrong¡¯s approval, and said with a smile: ¡°Then I will try it.¡± They took a sip and found it tasted good, and said with a smile: ¡°It tastes good, the wine you make is good!¡±

    Chen Wanrong¡¯s affirmation made Xiao Zhizhong and the others feel even more excited. Their faces were full of joy and they kept saying, ¡°Thank you, shopkeeper!¡±

    A flash of inspiration flashed through Chen Wanrong's head in excitement, and he shouted in his heart, "With wine, sulfuric acid, and zeolite, a medicine can be made. The emergence of this medicine in the Tang Dynasty must be regarded as a milestone in the history of medicine!"  The consumption of sulfuric acid as a catalyst is not large. It takes several hundred kilograms to make ten kilograms of sulfuric acid. With so much bile alum brought back today, we can make a lot of it. However, we need to increase the concentration of the wine first. We can no longer make wine like this.  You have to make distilled liquor first." Needless to say, Chen Wanrong can make distilled liquor with his eyes closed.

    A widely used medicine is about to appear in the Tang Dynasty!  The more Chen Wanrong thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes bright as lanterns.  (To be continued.
