Looking at the confused looks of the three people, Zhao Ping smiled slightly.
Zhao Ping put the glass cup into a pot with hot water.
The water temperature is not very high, not much higher than the summer temperature.
Zhao Ping put it into the pot and continued to stir with the glass rod.
This glass cup is very large, about one foot high and half a foot in diameter. It was specially used by Zhao Ping for experiments. Its volume is about two liters.
Qiu Ruoshui was very attentive, watching Zhao Ping holding a glass cup in one hand and stirring it constantly, and asked worriedly: "Little saint, is it hot to touch?"
"It doesn't matter if it's not hot, you can try it." Zhao Ping shook his head and looked at Qiu Ruoshui with a smile.
Qiu Ruoguo stepped forward and touched the glass cup, and nodded: "Little saint, it's really not hot to your hands."
"It's weird, it's weird." Huang Xiaoniu stared at the object in the glass cup, "This object actually melted."
"That's right, melted, melted." Qiu Ruoshui clapped her hands, with little stars in her eyes, and said happily, "The little saint is so amazing."
Zhao Ping did not dare to be careless and said in a deep voice: "Bring a glass funnel and filter paper."
The funnel has an inverted triangle on the top and a slender tube on the bottom.
Filter paper is a kind of coarse paper with fine pores. It plays a filtering role, so it is called filter paper.
Cuizhu had already prepared the glass funnel and wooden funnel stand and placed them in front of Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping tilted the glass cup, letting the melted contents flow down the glass rod into the funnel.
There is still a glass cup under the funnel, about the same size.
After about half a stick of incense, the filtration is completed.
Qiu Ruoshui clapped her little hands and looked at the filtered things. She was pleasantly surprised: "The little saint is so amazing. He really made this thing change from black to khaki."
"That's right, the little saint is so powerful, he really turned decay into magic." Huang Xiaoniu couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and pinched his fingers, feeling the pain before he believed it was true.
"The slave family said that there is nothing that the young man cannot accomplish." Cuizhu didn't notice the two of them, but looked at Zhao Ping affectionately, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Qiu Ruoshui sniffed it with her nose, wrinkled her small nose, and shook her head: "Little saint, it seems there is still a smell."
"Little saint, can't the smell be completely removed?" Huang Xiaoniu asked worriedly.
"Of course there is a way." Zhao Ping smiled slightly and put the yellowed petrolatum into a water bath made of iron.
The water bath has four holes, and each hole has a lid of different sizes. The large lid covers the small lid.
Zhao Ping tried it and chose a suitable lid so that the glass cup could fit into the water bath pot.
He said in a deep voice to Qiu Ruoshui: "Add fire and bring the water to a boil."
Qiu Ruoshui didn't know why the little saint did this. Thinking of what Cuizhu said, she believed that the little saint was right.
She immediately increased the firepower and soon the water was boiling.
Soon after the water boiled, the petrolatum not only completely melted, but also became clearer and clearer, like egg white.
"Sure enough, there is still a peculiar smell, and it's gone now." Huang Xiaoniu sniffed with his nose, looked at Zhao Ping, and showed admiration.
Cuizhu also sniffed it with his nose and felt a little puzzled: "This smells so weird, it's fragrant, sour, and smelly."
"With these strange smells, would anyone know how to use them?" Huang Xiaoniu asked with a question mark on his face.
Qiu Ruoshui thought for a while and asked her own question: "It's so weird. Not to mention beauty, it's almost disfigurement."
"Little saint, this petrolatum comes from the ground, how is it produced?" Huang Xiaoniu thought further and boldly asked another question.
After the three of them chatted, they looked at Zhao Ping together, hoping that he could explain.
How did it come from? It's just animal and plant corpses, which have been formed under high temperature and pressure for many years.
This not only involves animal and plant corpses, but also involves crustal movement.
Can you explain this? I'm afraid it's getting darker and darker.
The ancients would not accept this at all, but would question themselves as having problems.
What is an earthquake? It is because the emperor has lost his virtue and is punished by God.
What is the earthquake? It is caused by the dragon turning over.
What is Aolong? It is like the dragon that carries heavy objects in the tomb.
But this Aolong is not the thing that carries the tomb, but the earth.
If it turns over, there will naturally be an earthquake.
If Zhao Ping said that earthquakes are crustal movements, he would definitely be abandoned by the world.
Zhao Ping secretly sighed at his mistake. He originally wanted the three of them to watch a process, but he didn't expect that he would ask a lot of questions.
The three of them are all young ladies who love beauty. If they don't explain clearly, they will most likely refuse to use it.
"It's very simple." Zhao Ping glanced at the three young ladies and then asked, "Have you ever heard of trees that take ten years and people that take ten years to grow?"
"Of course I've heard of it." Cuizhu nodded, still puzzled, "But what does it have to do with this petrolatum?"
"It takes a thousand years to become a demon, and it takes ten thousand years to become an immortal." Zhao Ping sighed.
When Cuizhu heard this, she felt even more confused: "What does it mean to become a demon in a thousand years and become an immortal in ten thousand years?"
"These are actually the remains of fairies and gods after they transformed into immortals. They were buried underground and eventually turned into petrolatum." Zhao Ping sighed one by one, longing for them leisurely.
Now, if you say that some animals and plants were buried underground, isolated from the air, and formed through high temperature and high pressure, they would definitely not understand.
Not only do I not understand it, but I also think it is formed from the corpses of animals and plants. How disgusting that is.
Not only will they not use it, they will refuse it.
what to do? The theory of gods and fairies has been popular in China since ancient times.
Now add fairy tales to the petrolatum, which will not only be easy for them to accept, but also improve the level of the petrolatum.
You must know that these petrolatums are not ordinary things, but the remains of demon spirits and immortals. How noble.
Huang Xiaoniu found it unbelievable and his eyes widened: "Really or fake?"
"Of course it's true." Qiu Ruoshui replied immediately.
Huang Xiaoniu thought it was Cuizhu who answered, but not Qiu Ruoshui.
After all, it is really normal for Cuizhu to blindly worship the little saint.
However, she never expected that the person who answered her question would be Qiu Ruoshui, her best friend.
Huang Xiaoniu asked coldly: "Sister, how can you prove it is true?"
She is an outspoken person, and if she doesn't like something in her heart, it will immediately show on her face.
"Because it is close to Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain is where gods live. This is proof." Facing Huang Xiaoniu's disapproval, Qiu Ruoshui still smiled and replied.
"Indeed, it's so close to Kunlun Mountain. Why didn't the Nu family think of this?" Huang Xiaoniu scratched his forehead, thought about it, and said with some surprise.
Zhao Ping did not expect that Qiu Ruoshui would take the initiative to round it up for him.
Cuizhu said nothing, still believing in him as always.
However, Huang Xiaoniu didn't seem to be easily fooled. She blinked again and said, "It seems that there are hundreds of miles from Qingtang to Kunlun Mountain. It can't be this far."
"Kunlun is a mountain, and Tubo is also a mountain. There are too many gods in Kunlun. It is the mountain of gods. Kunlun is home to great gods. Even the Queen Mother lives there. Fairies and little fairies can of course squeeze together with great gods. From Tubo It's not far there, and you can catch the immortal energy. Wherever the demons and immortals live, they live in caves and practice. So after they ascended to heaven, thousands of years later, their remaining bodies slowly turned into petroleum jelly." Zhao Ping An idea struck him and he started talking.
"Little saint, petroleum jelly is the remains of ancient gods and fairies, so what's the deal with petroleum?" Huang Xiaoniu's big eyes kept blinking, and his eyes flickered.
This yellow calf is really a curious baby, and he has rich association skills. He even associates petroleum jelly with petroleum.
Petroleum, also known as fierce fire oil, kerosene, stone paint, etc. in the Song Dynasty, was named petroleum by Shen Kuo in "Mengxi Bi Tan".
In fact, Huang Xiaoniu was right. Petroleum and petrolatum were formed from the carcasses of animals and plants in ancient times, under conditions of high temperature and high pressure in isolation from the air, over many years.
Later, science developed to a certain extent, and petrolatum was even extracted from petroleum. It can be said that petrolatum and petroleum are very similar.
Hearing what Huang Xiaoniu said, Qiu Ruoshui thought it was very reasonable and looked at Zhao Ping with curiosity in her eyes.
Although Cuizhu didn't speak, it was the first time she heard this, and her eyes were also full of curiosity.
It seems that you still have to convince these three little ladies, otherwise their questioning will drive you crazy.
Zhao Ping smiled slightly, glanced at the three people, and then asked: "Pangu created the world, you know."
"Of course I know this." Huang Xiaoniu blinked her big eyes again, "But what does this have to do with oil?"
"Of course it does matter. Pangu's blood turned into rivers, his breath turned into wind, and his sweat turned into rain and dew. You all know this," Zhao Ping said eloquently.
"Of course this slave knows." Huang Xiaoniu nodded, and she immediately asked impatiently, "But this has nothing to do with oil."
Zhao Ping was not anxious because Huang Xiaoniu was anxious, and still said: "But what about the fat on Pangu's body? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Oh, the Nu family knows that Pangu's body fat turned into oil." Qiu Ruoshui tilted her little head, feeling that she was very smart, and clapped her slender little hands.
Cuizhu looked at the petrolatum in the glass cup in the water bath at this time, stepped forward to smell it, looked at Zhao Ping and said softly: "Little man, it seems there is no smell."
After hearing Cuizhu's words, Qiu Ruoshui and Huang Xiaoniu also stepped forward and sniffed repeatedly.
"Little saint, it really has no smell. Can it be used?" Although Qiu Ruoshui is a slow-tempered person, she can't wait for this beauty thing.
Huang Xiaoniu chuckled and pointed at the water-like petrolatum in the glass cup: "My dear sister, look, the water has boiled, and the petrolatum inside is about the same temperature. Aren't you afraid of your face being scalded?"
"The slave family is not afraid. Anyway, the little saint is here, and his earth dragon can make the slave family's face." Qiu Ruoshui seemed a little unconvinced, turned her eyes twice, looked at Zhao Ping, and said slyly.
"What if it's not cured?" Huang Xiaoniu tapped Qiu Ruoshui's forehead with his finger, "If you have a good face, why take risks?"
Qiu Ruoshui tilted her little head and looked at Zhao Ping again, and said anxiously: "Little saint, can you think of a way to make the petroleum jelly cool down quickly?"
Sure enough, women are born with a love for beauty. If she didn't love beauty, how could the slow-tempered Qiu Ruoshui become an impatient one?
Zhao Ping found it funny, but he was afraid of hurting Qiu Ruoshui's self-esteem, so he had to hold it back.
"Of course there is a way." Zhao Ping told Qiu Ruoshui, "Go get a basin of water."
Hearing that it could cool down quickly, Qiu Ruoshui picked up her skirt and ran away.
"Remember, the basin needs to be big. The bigger the better, the better the cooling effect." Looking at Qiu Ruoshui's anxious look, Zhao Ping shook his head and explained clearly.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Ruoshui almost fell down when she heard this.
It turned out that she ran too fast and didn't notice the threshold, so she kicked it on the threshold.
Huang Xiaoniu ran out and shouted, "Sister, wait, I will go with you."
After all, Huang Xiaoniu has a deep love for sisters, so she immediately follows her.
She was not wearing a skirt, but leather armor, and she ran effortlessly.
"Thank you, sister. I find it difficult to hold the big footbath." Qiu Ruoshui smiled slightly and stopped.
Not only Qiu Ruoshui, a petite woman, had difficulty lifting the large footbath, but even men of the same age found it difficult. Only grown men could lift it easily.
Don't underestimate the big foot basin. It is two to three feet in diameter, about half a foot high, and weighs between twenty and thirty kilograms.
Although Qiu Ruoshui didn't have much strength, the female man Huang Xiaoniu was not a problem, and the two quickly brought a big footbath.
Cuizhu immediately added water to the big foot basin with a wooden ladle, and Huang Xiaoniu was about to put the glass cup into the water.
"Sister, wait a minute." Qiu Ruoshui suddenly thought of something and asked, "Little saint, other bottles will explode when encountering sudden heat and cold. It is winter again and the water temperature is extremely cold. Will this glass cup explode?"
Qiu Ruoshui said while looking at Zhao Ping, waiting for his answer.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoniu had no choice but to put the glass cup on the table and look at Zhao Ping.
Glaze is now extremely expensive. This glass cup costs no less than a hundred copper coins, and the entire laboratory is worth more than ten thousand copper coins.
Only Zhao Ping, who is rich and wealthy, would use such a precious treasure as an experimental instrument.
"It doesn't matter. Since this glass cup can be heated and can withstand sudden heat and cold, it will not explode." Zhao Ping smiled slightly and gave a reassuring gesture.
"That's no problem." After hearing Zhao Ping's answer, Huang Xiaoniu still held the glass cup with both hands and slowly put it into the cold water.
The glass was very sharp, even sharper than weapons after the explosion, so Huang Xiaoniu had to be careful.
Sure enough, a magical scene happened. The glass cup was still the same glass cup, and nothing happened at all.
Cuizhu immediately stepped forward, holding a glass stick in his hand and stirring constantly.
Seeing that nothing happened, Qiu Ruoshui couldn't help but be overjoyed and gave Zhao Ping a wink.
After she winked at him, she seemed to feel something was wrong and hurriedly looked at the glass cup in the footbath.
Fortunately, Cuizhu and Huang Xiaoniu focused all their energy on the petrolatum and did not notice her actions, otherwise they would be jealous again.
Although the three of them are good sisters on the surface, they still have some little tricks in private.
Qiu Ruoshui saw that the petrolatum had begun to condense. She looked at Zhao Ping with her big eyes and asked, "Little saint, is it okay?"
Alas, Qiu Ruo was so shrewd at first, but she didn't expect to encounter this beauty thing, and she suddenly seemed like a fool.
It seems that no matter what era it is, beauty products have infinite destructive power on women.
"Try it with your hands. As long as it's not hot, it'll be fine." Zhao Ping shook his head in his heart, but said in his mouth.
Qiu Ruoshui first tried it on the glass cup with her little hands. She felt that the temperature was suitable, so she couldn't wait to dip it in and apply it on her face.
After she applied it, she looked at Cuizhu and Huang Xiaoniu, and asked with some embarrassment: "Sisters, how is the effect?"
She didn't dare let Zhao Ping see it, fearing that the effect would not be good and that her bad side would be exposed in front of Zhao Ping.
"It seems that people are more energetic." Huang Xiaoniu looked at her and answered first.
Cuizhu also looked at her carefully, with a happy expression on his face: "She feels smooth and smooth."
"Sister, what do you feel on your face, like a burning feeling?" Huang Xiaoniu suddenly thought of something and asked impatiently.
Didn't Zhonghua say that when applied on the face, this one will give a burning sensation, and that one will damage the skin, so not many people are willing to use it.
Hearing this, Cuizhu looked at Qiu Ruoshui, with obvious nervousness on his face.
Even Zhao Ping was a little nervous and used two methods to remove impurities.
One is the activated carbon adsorption method, and the other is the heating expulsion method, which are almost the same in theory.
If that doesn't work, the only option is to increase the temperature and use activated carbon adsorption multiple times.
Qiu Ruoshui thought about it for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face: "It's hot, not at all. When you apply it on your face, you don't seem to feel much."
Cuizhu and Huang Xiaoniu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two sisters, my sister has already tried it, you should put it on too." Qiu Ruoshui said excitedly, looking at Cuizhu and Huang Xiaoniu and said, "It is dry and cold in winter, which is extremely harmful to the skin. Applying this can not only beautify, It also moisturizes the skin.”
The two were overjoyed, took out a mirror, and looked at it while applying it.
The three of them just applied it, forgetting that the glass cup containing petroleum jelly was still in the water in the big foot basin.
Seeing that they were about to fall into the water in the footbath, the three little ladies couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Zhao Ping, with quick eyesight and quick hands, immediately reached out and grabbed him. Fortunately, the water in the footbath was not allowed to enter the petrolatum.
Otherwise, after all the hard work, you will end up with nothing but a bamboo basket to draw water.
Zhao Ping shook his head, not expecting that cosmetics would not only turn Qiu Ruoshui into a fool, but also Huang Xiaoniu and Cuizhu.
"Since you like it so much, just find a small bottle and put it in it." Seeing the excitement on the three people's faces, Zhao Ping couldn't bear to disappoint and made a suggestion.
The three little ladies couldn't help but be overjoyed, and went out one after another to get the small bottles in their rooms.
Before it was tea time, three young ladies came with small bottles to fill the petrolatum.
What surprised Huang Xiaoniu and Qiu Ruoshui was that they only took one small bottle, while Cuizhu actually used ten small bottles.
The two couldn't help but look at each other. Is Cuizhu so greedy?
Huang Xiaoniu and Qiu Ruoshui couldn't say anything, they just silently filled their own small bottles with petrolatum with their hands.
Of course Cuizhu saw the two people's feelings and explained: "Two sisters, I will bring it here to the mistress and Lan'er, so that each of them can have a share."
Hearing this, the two of them were greatly embarrassed, their faces turned red, and they wished there was a gap in the ground for them to get into.
Huang Xiaoniu and Qiu Ruoshui thought Cuizhu was really greedy for too much, but they didn't expect Cuizhu to think of the mistress, Lan'er and other people from Zhaojiazhuang.
What is the gap? This is the gap.
The two felt that they had done well enough, but they did not expect that there was still a big gap.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
Cuizhu has her own reasons, and Huang Xiaoniu and Qiu Ruoshui also have their own reasons.
After all, Cuizhu grew up in Zhaojiazhuang and was very familiar with these things. It was only natural to send this thing called Clam Immortal Oil.
But Huang Xiaoniu and Qiu Ruoshui were not familiar with the people in Zhaojiazhuang yet, so they did not dare to give to the women in Zhaojiazhuang for fear of being misunderstood.
There is no way, this is Cuizhu's advantage, she must make the most of her advantage.
That's right, Zhao Ping decided to call this Clam Fairy Oil.
There are many reasons why it is called clam oil.
First, because packing small clam shells is not only trouble-free, but also very convenient to carry. Moreover, there are such small clam shells everywhere in the river, and it is also very convenient to obtain materials.
Secondly, Zhao Ping has given this petrolatum a beautiful mythical coat, making all women's hearts flutter.
Third, this is a classic packaging used by later generations and has been tested in practice.
After the arrangements were made, Zhao Ping returned to his office and called Zhong Hua over.
Zhao Ping announced two things to him, that is, Tan Xing was promoted to the fine craftsmanship camp and took charge of fine craftsmanship affairs in Lanzhou, Tubo and other places.
The second is mining.
Zhonghua was originally uneasy, thinking that this was not petrolatum.
Now it seems that the little saint has found a way to deal with it.
Finally hearing the news, Zhonghua couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Tan Xing will win glory for Xizuo, and they will be able to hold their heads high and live their lives from now on.
But Zhonghua quickly thought of something and his expression changed drastically.
He thought for a while and asked cautiously: "Little saint, I heard that there is petroleum jelly land, and most of it is in the hands of Tubo Samana Bo Chanbu. What should I do?"
