Wen Tiandong glanced at the liquid in the small jar, put a dry chopstick into it, pulled it out after touching the bottom, and looked at the approximate height. He took a knife and carved a mark on it, and then started to move up.
Add oil to the can.
For medicine, one tael or one penny can have a huge impact, so he took a small jar of the same size, measured it with the chopstick every time, and poured it into the big jar after reaching the same position.
Repeat this three times.
Although Zhou Man memorized all the steps, he had never done it himself, so he sat aside and watched with interest, and occasionally even did it himself with them.
She said: "Pour the liquid in and stir."
Wen Tiandong poured it in himself and stirred vigorously.
This took a long time, but Wen Tiandong still quickly saw the change. While stirring, he saw the turbidity rising. Occasionally, at the bottom, the liquid seemed to be slowly clearing. It was obviously the contents of a jar. He
If you keep stirring, it should be cloudy.
This change made him very happy. Although he didn't know why, he was still very excited.
Soon, everyone saw the difference, Zhou Man asked him to stop, and then started to skim the grease out bit by bit with a long spoon...
Although it is not easy to cook in a jar, Wen Tiandong still made it very carefully.
Zhou Man said: "We will use the clear liquid at the bottom, and all the grease on top must be skimmed off.
She stood up holding her belly and said, "I'm going to the kitchen to see if the retort water is ready."
The so-called steamer water, in Teacher Mo's words, is distilled water, but they don't call it that here. Zhou Man didn't need to bother. She only said that she needed steamer water. Not to mention Sister-in-law He, it was Mrs. Shao from the medical department.
If you can cook it, it only requires firewood.
Zhou Man went to the kitchen, where water was being boiled. Seeing Zhou Man, Mrs. Shao stood up and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want the steamer water now?"
Zhou Man said: "I have to take it out to dry. I will use it to clean things later. It's too hot to wash."
Mrs. Shao then said, "Slave, please take it out right now."
She brought a clean jar and opened the steaming cauldron. A burst of hot steam came out. There were three large bowls on the steamer inside. The bowls now contained less than half a bowl of water.
There is boiling water under the steamer.
The reason why the water in the bowl is called steamer gas water is because the rising gas of the water is blocked by the pot lid and then falls into the bowl.
Mrs. Shao wrapped her hands with a cloth, carefully took out the bowl, poured the water inside into the jar, and then continued to put the empty bowl back into the pot.
Three small bowls of water were poured in. In fact, it wasn't much, just half a can. Zhou Man frowned slightly and said, "This wastes too much firewood."
It's better if they make less medicine now, but if there are more, this method will not be applicable, otherwise it will cost a lot of firewood, which feels no less than the firewood used to boil salt.
Mrs. Shao wiped the sweat from her face and said: "Who says it's not the case? In fact, there is quite a lot of gas that rises after the water is boiled. Look at the lid I just opened, the water that falls down from the top is all
, swoosh, and the gas coming out of the pot lid, that’s all water.”
Zhou Man began to think thoughtfully, "Why did the gas turn into water droplets as soon as I opened the lid of the pot?"
Mrs. Shao said: "Then who knows?"
Zhou Man clenched his fist and slapped the heart of his left hand, saying "Oh," "Because it's cold."
She smiled and said, "Why did you forget this?"
Mrs. Shao: "Ah?"
Zhou Man walked around the pot on the stove, gestured and said, "I have to add something to it, no, I need to add two things, but how to add it?"
Zhou Man immediately forgot about making medicine, asked Xi Cake to go back and get pen and paper, and started writing and drawing in the kitchen in front of a steaming pot.
Bai Shan came over to pick someone up for dinner. When he came here, he saw Zhou Man curled up on a small stool, writing and drawing on it with a pen.
This is what Bai Shan saw. Zhou Man's face was not aggrieved. Her eyes were shining and her face was excited.
Bai Shan stopped the servants and helpers in the kitchen from saluting, and went up to take a look. After looking at it, he really couldn't see it, so he squatted next to her and asked, "What is this?"
Zhou Man came to his senses, quickly grabbed him and said, "Look, this is a pot of boiling water."
Bai Shan glanced at the gas coming out of the gap in the pot lid and nodded.
"I want to use the steamer's gas water, so I'm thinking of adding something to the pot to make the gas water condense faster." Zhou Man showed him the picture he drew. "When the gas gets cold, it turns into water and falls.
So I wanted to add another pot on top, specifically to put cold water in it. There is also a steamer in the middle. The boiling gas comes up from the holes in the steamer, and it will definitely fall when it encounters the cold water above. I originally wanted to be like them in the steamer.
There were several bowls in the room, and the water fell on the bowls, but I didn’t feel good.”
She said: "The pot added above cannot be opened again, which means that it is difficult for us to access the steamer water when boiling water. Not to mention that the pot is covered, and we can't even see how much is in the bowl."
Bai Shan asked, "Do you want the steamer to flow out?"
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "You can see how much has been burned."
Bai Shan looked at the picture she drew and began to think about it. Keke looked at it silently. In fact, you could ask it without going to the encyclopedia. It could tell the host how to make distilled water better.
Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, this thing will be often used in the future. As an encyclopedia system, its knowledge range is also very broad.
But if the host doesn't ask, it won't say anything, just let her think for herself.
Bai Shan squatted next to Zhou Man and meditated with her. Finally, he circled the stove twice, then pointed at a spot and said, "Then add a pipe in the middle to let the water flow out."
Zhou Man was still troubled, "Does it work if you put it in the middle? How can you be sure that the steamer water will fall into the tube?"
"Then add it," Bai Shan took the pen and paper and started drawing on it, saying, "Don't even think about adding cold water to the pot. We can put the tube directly inside and put cold water on the outside of the extended tube.
, when the pot lid is sealed, the air will have nowhere to go and can only enter the pipe. We let the pipe supercool water here, and then the air inside will condense into water droplets and fall."
Zhou Man blinked and asked, "How do you make the pipe pass through the barrel?"
"Just bend it," Bai Shan said nonchalantly, "I'll just make a special wooden barrel when the time comes."
As for whether it can be made, that is up to the craftsmen, but he feels that it is not difficult and the craftsmen should have no problem.
Zhou Manlue thought about it and said happily: "Okay, let's do it."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something. It seemed like she could ask Keke when she was in doubt, so she asked Keke, "Koko, do you think our design is okay?"
