Chapter 216
Su Chen likes Li Tai's truth-seeking character.
"Let me explain it to you. Whether you can understand it or not is up to you.
When alcohol burns on your fingers, you don't feel the burn because:
Alcohol has a low ignition point and is very volatile. During the burning process, it absorbs the temperature of your finger skin.
Therefore, not only will you not feel the burn, but you will feel a little cool where the flame burns."
After Su Chen finished speaking, he looked at Li Tai.
"Understand?"
Li Tai thought for a moment, "What is the ignition point?"
"Use paper and stick to light a fire. Which one is easier to light has a lower ignition point."
Li Tai nodded with satisfaction as if he had suddenly realized something.
"I understand!"
Suddenly, Li Tai's eyes lit up.
"Su Chen, do you think this alcohol can be used to make an alcohol lamp?
Just make a glass container to cover it to prevent the alcohol from evaporating too quickly.
Add a piece of cotton and linen as a wick, and put it into the alcohol to make it slowly absorb and burn."
Li Tai excitedly told Su Chen about his sudden idea.
"You are really a genius..."
Su Chen was shocked by Li Tai again. Li Tai came up with the idea of an alcohol lamp.
"It can be possible, but you should have discovered it.
After the alcohol burns, its flame is blue. It may not be a good lighting effect at night, far inferior to the stone candles you are using now, but you can try it."
Su Chen did not discourage Li Tai's enthusiasm, and let him try it himself.
Speaking of the stone candle, Su Chen was also full of emotion.
Su Chen never thought that in the Tang Dynasty today, oil could be mined and used!
They called oil "lime water", which was used to make oil lamps and stone candles, and also for lubrication.
Li Tai was even more confused after hearing what Su Chen said.
This alcohol can't be drunk, it can burn but can't be used for lighting, so what is the purpose of making alcohol?
"Su Chen, tell me what this alcohol is used for."
Su Chen didn't keep it a secret.
"Disinfection, sterilization!"
Li Tai and Ma Zhou shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't understand.
"Have you ever been to the battlefield?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
"No." Li Tai replied.
"If you haven't been to the battlefield, I won't tell you about this for now.
Ma Zhou, you take care of the printing house and newspapers, Li Tai, you go get the glass bottles for storing alcohol, and work harder to get more alcohol."
Seeing Li Tai and Ma Zhou busy themselves, Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
...
After the two left, Su Chen raised his feet and put them on the desk.
"My elder brother-in-law should have brought the people from the noble family to the manor yesterday. Did something delay him?"
Su Chen had promised Li Chengqian when they parted ways when they returned to Chang'an from Hua County that day.
After the printing house started working, he would bring the people from the noble family to the manor to study and visit.
"Forget it, I'll go to the palace tomorrow."
Without thinking any more, Su Chen squinted his eyes and planned to take a nap.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for purifying alcohol with a purity of 70%. The following items are specially rewarded:
A refined version of high school mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks;
High-quality watermelon seeds: 100 kilograms, with a 100% yield per mu.
Finished high-quality watermelons: 100. Watermelon seeds can be used as seeds.
Two harvests a year. ]
Su Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed, was instantly awakened by this familiar and long-lost voice.
"Watermelon?"
"You're going to reward me with this?"
Su Chen slowly put his feet down on the desk.
He complained speechlessly, but it's better than nothing.
Watermelon is edible anyway.
There is no watermelon in the Tang Dynasty yet!
(There has been controversy about the dynasty in which watermelon appeared in later generations. Some people believe that it was introduced during the Five Dynasties.
'Tang Sancai watermelon' was once accused of being a 'fake', but watermelon seeds appeared in a Han Dynasty tomb in Jiangsu.
The above is not to be studied, this article is only an assumption!)
"Watermelon is also good, let someone freeze two to try."
Su Chen put 20 finished watermelons in the warehouse, left the study and asked the servants to move the watermelons to the warehouse.
Put them in ice water for an afternoon and eat them in the evening.
...
"Su Chen!"
After Su Chen told the servants to freeze the watermelon, he was about to go back to the study to continue sleeping, and the voice of Princess Changle came from behind him.
"Beauty, what do you want from this handsome guy?"
Su Chen turned around and asked with a smile.
Princess Changle came to Su Chen and recalled that Su Chen had explained the term "handsome guy" in the restaurant before, which meant someone who was ten times more handsome than a handsome man.
"Narcissistic!"
Princess Changle said with disdain.
Su Chen continued to walk towards the study, and Princess Changle followed behind him.
"Beautiful lady, please sit down. What can I do for you!"
Princess Changle looked at Su Chen and asked, "Are you free now?"
"I have nothing to do. I'm planning to take a nap!"
Su Chen said, spreading his hands.
"Then..." Princess Changle hesitated, as if she was a little embarrassed to say it.
"Tell me what you want to say. I will do anything to serve you, Princess."
Su Chen bowed his body slightly, clasped his hands together, and said with a fearless attitude.
It seemed that Princess Changle wanted him to die.
"Those two maids were not as good as you in washing my hair.
Help me wash my hair again. When I learn it, I will wash it for you next time.
How about it? "
Princess Changle looked at Su Chen with her eyes full of expectation.
In fact, it was not that the two maids were not good at it, but their thoughts were playing tricks on them.
Can they do whatever they want to the princess's head?
If they rub her shoulders and legs, it's ok, but can they let the servants touch her head?
Although Princess Changle repeatedly comforted them and told them to wash boldly.
But they still couldn't let go. Princess Changle could even clearly feel that their hands were shaking.
Su Chen was puzzled and said, "It shouldn't be. I think they are only a few years older than you. They should be clever and skillful."
Princess Changle seemed to have no patience to explain so much to Su Chen.
With a little bit of coquetry in the threat, she stared at Su Chen and asked:
"Hmph, just say whether you agree or not!"
Su Chen didn't feel Princess Changle's threat to him, he only felt her coquetry.
How can this be?
Su Chen has no resistance to this at all!
"Why wash your hair now? Wash it in the evening after the sun goes down. "
Su Chen refused directly.
Princess Changle did not speak, still staring at Su Chen, with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"Well... wouldn't it be better to take a bath after washing your hair in the evening?
By the way, I have a treasure for you in the evening, which is food."
Su Chen saw the change in her expression, as if he was going to use a big move, and quickly tempted her with watermelon.
"Baby? Food?"
Sure enough, the expression on Princess Changle's face immediately turned into curiosity.
"Of course, I guarantee you will like it!"
Su Chen nodded and answered affirmatively.
"Okay, then this lady will wait for your treasure. If..."
As she said, Princess Changle clenched her fist and raised it in front of Su Chen and shook it.
Su Chen covered her fist with a slap.
"I'm not lying to you. I'm going to the palace tomorrow. Do you want to go back to see my mother? Bring her some good things by the way."
Princess Changle nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay! "
"Then Princess, now..."
Su Chen glanced at the door of the study, and his meaning was very clear.
"Hmph!"
Princess Changle broke free from Su Chen's fist and stood up and left.
