After discussing the relevant matters of Liuli Pavilion, Huo Chenan brought up another matter.
"Miss, the incident at the restaurant last time had a little impact on the restaurant's business." Huo Chenan said calmly.
Su Linglong nodded. She knew that Huo Chenan was talking about Shen Mingcheng's stomach getting sick at the hotel. At that time, the restaurant was stinking, so it was natural that the business was affected.
Huo Chenan continued, "After emergency treatment, the situation was alleviated, but if we want to completely stop the gossip, we still need the eldest lady to take action."
Su Linglong raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What do you need me to do?"
Huo Chenan hurriedly said, "If you want to completely dispel the customer's doubts, you must have a reasonable explanation for the source of the smell. I already have a perfect solution for this."
Su Linglong heard Huo Chenan say that he had a perfect solution, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What can I do?"
"I plan to hold a new product launch conference. At that time, the restaurant will launch new dishes. As long as the customers smell the new dishes, the impact of that day will naturally be offset."
"New product launch conference?" Su Linglong repeated doubtfully.
"It's to launch new dishes." Huo Chenan hurriedly explained.
Su Linglong nodded to show her understanding. She felt that this idea was quite standard and should be able to play a role at that time.
Huo Chenan then said, "I want to ask the young lady to be the food connoisseur and be responsible for tasting the new products. As long as the young lady praises the new products after eating, I can guarantee that the customers will no longer have any doubts."
"Okay, let's do it according to your idea." Su Linglong thought, isn't it just eating something and saying something good? What's the difficulty? So she agreed.
"When will the new... product launch be held?" Su Linglong asked.
"It will be three days later." Huo Chenan replied.
"Why so late?" Su Linglong asked in confusion.
"There are still some ingredients to prepare." Huo Chenan replied.
"Well, then you prepare well and don't make any mistakes." Su Linglong instructed.
"Okay, young lady." Huo Chenan promised.
When leaving the front hall, Huo Chenan's heart was already full of joy: Humph, I'll show you what the conspiracy of the new century is.
Now everything is ready, only time is needed.
...
Huo Chenan was naturally not idle in the meantime.
He would go to the village school to teach every day to prepare the technology for his next product.
Huo Chenan looked at the beakers and test tubes with good transparency and was amazed. The Mohist School was indeed the master of craftsmen. He only told Deng Lingjisheng the method of firing glass. He didn't expect that he would constantly improve the composition of sand and molds and actually make beakers and test tubes.
Huo Chenan immediately decided to conduct an experimental class today.
So Huo Chenan found a charcoal basin and some water, heated the water in the beaker through the charcoal basin, and then he turned the test tube upside down on the beaker. After a while, small water droplets condensed on the inner wall of the test tube.
Huo Chenan held up the test tube and asked the Mohist disciples in the classroom, what did you find?
Some people said, "Water droplets appeared in the test tube."
Some people said, "The test tube sucked the water in the beaker up."
Deng Lingjisheng also looked at the small water droplets in the test tube thoughtfully.
"Well, what everyone said is almost right. There are indeed water droplets in the test tube. The source of these water droplets is from the beaker, but did you see how the water was transferred from the beaker to the test tube?"
Everyone shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Huo Chenan continued: "Because water is heated and becomes invisible gas, the gas rises and condenses into water when it encounters cold things."
"Sir, is rain formed in this way?" Deng Lingjisheng asked.
"That's right," Huo Chenan looked at Deng Lingjisheng with satisfaction. No wonder teachers like smart students. Good students can draw inferences from one example, and teaching naturally saves a lot of effort.
Huo Chenan said: "Rainwater is formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air.
Water can become gas, gas can also become water, and heating will accelerate the phenomenon of gasification. Think about it, when we boil water, if we don't stop in time, the water will eventually be boiled dry. The water did not disappear out of thin air, but turned into invisible gas."
Huo Chenan's explanation was easy to understand, and everyone nodded in unison.
Seeing everyone's high interest, Huo Chenan decided to show off his skills.
So he found an oil pan and put it on the charcoal basin to heat it. Soon, the oil inside began to boil.
Everyone looked at him curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
Huo Chenan took out a copper coin and threw it into the oil pan. Before everyone could react, Huo Chenan reached into the boiling oil pan.
"Ah!"
"Sir, don't."
"Sir, be careful."
Everyone screamed in surprise, and some timid people fainted directly.
Deng Lingjisheng also rushed up, but saw Huo Chenan quickly pulled his hand out, with the copper coin still between his fingers.
"Are you okay, sir?" Deng Lingjisheng asked with concern.
Huo Chenan stretched out his hand in front of him and said, "Do you think I'm okay?"
Deng Ling Jisheng looked carefully and found that Huo Chenan's hands were covered with oil, but there was nothing else wrong. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. I just saw you put your hand into the boiling oil, how could you be okay?
Huo Chenan wiped his hands and said to everyone, "Liquids will turn into invisible gases, just like water and oil. When the temperature is higher, the change will be more drastic, and it will eventually boil, but different liquids boil at different temperatures. I added vinegar to the oil, because the oil is light, it floats on top, but the boiling point of vinegar is low, so the seemingly boiling oil pan is actually not at a high temperature."
Everyone suddenly realized what he said.
Deng Ling Jisheng's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Huo Chenan: "Your Excellency is a scholar, please accept your students and bow."
The Mohist people behind him bowed down instantly.
Huo Chenan hurriedly helped Deng Lingjisheng up, and said, "No need to do that, I still have something to ask of you."
"Please speak, sir." Deng Lingjisheng had been completely convinced by Huo Chenan, and now he would not hesitate to give his life to Huo Chenan.
Of course, Huo Chenan did not need his life, he needed the labor of the Mo family.
"I want to make a kind of gouache, which can keep the fragrance for a long time and be naturally fresh.
Its raw materials are flowers and spices, but the fragrance of flowers and spices are actually not soluble in water, but they can be dissolved in alcohol, and the boiling points of alcohol and water are different, so we can use this to separate the fragrance of flowers and spices. This method is called distillation.
I hope you can develop this gouache for me."
Deng Lingjisheng heard this, and his eyes burst into confidence. "Please rest assured, sir, I promise to complete the task."
Huo Chenan nodded with satisfaction.
