Because she already knew what the orange liquid was, and even more about its effects and toxicity!
"You, how do you know? Lord County Magistrate, your wife is spying on my secret recipe!" Boss Du insisted.
"I can tell you one more thing. If you continue like this, you will not be able to survive this year and will be buried in the ground, because the solution you used is poisonous and extremely toxic. It cannot be cured by doctors, and there is no cure..." Bai
Haitang said for sure.
Datong was also surprised when he heard this.
"I think you are just envious, jealous and hateful!" Boss Du didn't believe it.
"The long-time worker who died suddenly in your family was the worker who was mixing things next to the big wooden barrel, right? Your hair fell out, your temper became irritable, your brain became stupid, your vigilance increased, you nagged endlessly, and you didn't like everything...
If you have these symptoms, this is the manifestation of poisoning. If you delay it, there will be only a dead end." Bai Haitang said.
Boss Du thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. It seemed that it was true. These symptoms he had only developed since making hats. Haitang didn't say it, but he really didn't think about it.
I just can't control my temper. I know it's wrong to lose my temper, but I still can't control it. Sometimes I even feel confused. I clearly feel that I can't lose my temper, but I've actually beaten or scolded someone without even knowing it.
Knowing this, Boss Du still sent Haitang and Datong back. He always felt that Haitang was like some kind of witch and had used some method to peek into his secret recipe.
"Madam, do you know what's going on?" Datong asked on the way back.
"That orange liquid is actually a type of mercury. This kind of thing is highly poisonous. Although it can separate the fur and skin of animals very well, people who are near it will be poisoned over time. They will lose their hair and so on.
All are symptoms of poisoning. In the future, teeth will fall out and confusion will be similar to Alzheimer's disease. I guess that the person who died suddenly was poisoned too deeply. This mercury vapor is more toxic and easier to be absorbed by the human body.
That's why I asked you to cover your nose." Haitang said.
"Is there any way to detoxify it?" Datong asked.
Haitang shook his head.
Of course there is an antidote, but she can't refine it in this era. For the same reason, there are no raw materials. It's also impossible to spend a lifetime wandering around in the mountains, and it might be in vain.
"Then where do you guess these things from the Du family came from?" Datong asked again.
"I guess I discovered it accidentally. This mercury will exist in the form of small droplets in the cinnabar ore, which is the mineral layer of mercury sulfide. There is a storage place. Just throw it with a shovel and they will spray out.
Boss Nadu may have dug it up accidentally. Heating mercury sulfide will combine the sulfur with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide, and obtain metallic mercury, which can be used to separate fur. Boss Nadu
Either someone told me to use this method, or I discovered it by accident, so I started to make hats. Unknowingly, the toxicity has been subtle. I didn't mean to scare him by saying that he wouldn't survive until the end of the year if he continued like this.
, but it’s true. If the mercury vapor spreads to the surrounding area, it will also cause disaster to the surrounding neighbors. Datong, you’d better put an end to this matter as soon as possible.” Haitang reminded.
Datong nodded and wanted to end it as soon as possible. After learning about its dangers from his wife, Datong felt that he had to speed up the pace.
