"After that, it will be our brother's summer resort!" Merton said proudly, pointing to the swimming pool.
At this time, there was no sewer. Merton built the swimming pool into living water. The well water on one side kept pouring in, and the culvert on the other bank was left. Once the water level reached, it would overflow. In this way, the flow of water and the clarity of water source could be guaranteed.
"How beautiful!" Qin Huaiyu exclaimed.
In their impression, the most pleasant thing in summer is to go to the pond to take a bath, but it is often covered with mud and dirty. If they are unlucky, there may be blood sucking insects such as leeches. Merton's practice is simply turning corruption into magic.
"Beautiful?" Merton curled his lips. If they were to see the blue swimming pool with beach in the future, they would be stunned and their chin would fall off.
Suddenly, Merton's heart moved. The reason why the swimming pool was blue in later generations was just because copper sulfate was added. Although there was no object called copper sulfate in Datang, there was a drug called gall alum.
Gall alum, also known as blue alum, has the function of inducing vomiting and removing corruption. It is a commonly used emetic in ancient times. This drug may not be available elsewhere, but there must be one in Mo hospital.
………………
"Young master! But someone is poisoned and needs to vomit?" Mo Wu panted and ran over. He got a message from Mo Si and asked him to come immediately with gall alum, which startled him.
If Mo Si hadn't repeatedly said that the young master asked to keep a low profile, he might have arrived with an ambulance.
"Have you brought anything?" pursued Merton.
"It's all here!" Mo Si handed over a medicine box, which was almost full of gall alum. He wanted to get a few copies, but he didn't expect that the more the young master sent a letter, the better.
As a last resort, Mo Wu had to leave a little alum for the Mo hospital, and all the rest was packed and brought over.
"Young master, how can you use so much alum? It's poison. It's not good to use too much alum." Mo Wu urgently admonished. According to this measurement, even hundreds of people can't use it up.
"Don't worry, it's not for people!" Merton waved his hand.
Mo Wu found that there was a clear pond in the backyard, in which Qin Huaiyu and his wife were soaking comfortably.
"Is it...!" Mo Wu looked at the pool in front of him, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
Sure enough, Merton said hello, and the three people in the pool jumped out. They picked up the prepared iron pestle, opened the medicine box, took out the crystal blue alum in the medicine box, put it in the pottery pot, picked up the iron pestle and smashed the alum.
Qin Huaiyu was willing to participate in Merton's experiments. They didn't complain at all. On the contrary, they were very excited. They almost didn't do this kind of rough work, but they worked hard to develop alum into powder bit by bit.
"Is this OK?" Wei Chi Baolin stopped his pestle and took his pottery pot for Merton to see.
Morton stretched out his head and found that the alum in Yuchi Baolin pottery pot had become powder. He nodded and said, "that's all right. These alums can be dissolved. Just be careful not to have large pieces."
Soon, the three crushed the alum in their hands into powder. Fearing that it was not enough, they immediately crushed another pottery pot.
Watching the five minutes as like as two peas in the heart of the ink, the ink five follows the learning of Chinese medicine, not only the great progress of medical skills, but also the frugal habits of the old and hardship days.
When Merton saw that the quick Wei Chi Baolin wanted to come to the third pot, he hurriedly came forward and stopped and said, "OK, that's almost it."
The three gathered the crushed alum together, and there was a full pottery pot.
"Well, it's time to witness miracles!" Merton raised the pottery pot and shouted.
All of them were looking forward to it, and they all stretched out their heads to look at Merton. Even Mo Wu, who was distressed by the medicine, was curious.
As soon as the hand tilted, the glittering blue powder was sprinkled into the water.
In an instant, a strong blue spread rapidly from Merton to the whole pool. The whole pool water was immediately blue, like the reflection of the blue sky. Coupled with the weeping willows, flowers and plants next to it, a beautiful picture appeared in front of everyone.
"This is... This is..." Wei Chi Baolin stammered, pointing to the blue pool water.
"Like the sea!" Qin Huaiyu said obsessed.
"Yes! Yes! It's the color of the sea!" Wei Chi Baolin said excitedly. He once went to the beach with his father and saw the real sea. It's this blue color.
"The sea?" Chumo grows up. At this time, due to the inconvenience of transportation, many people have never been out of a house in their life, let alone reached the seaside. What's more, they are located in the remote inland of Chang'an.
Except for Wei Chi Baolin, no one has seen the sea. Even Qin Huaiyu has only seen from books that the color of the sea is blue.
Although people haven't seen the sea, it doesn't mean that no one has fantasized about the sea. Where did they think that the fantasy scene should appear in front of them like this? It's as beautiful as imagined.
"Is this still a pool? I can't bear to go down!" Qin Huaiyu looked at the blue pool and couldn't bear to say.
"What's this?" said Merton. "It's just a pool of water."
At that moment, he took off his coat, made a plop and jumped into the pond. The cool water immediately washed away all the summer heat.
"Young master, don't! This gall alum is poisonous." Mo Wu was shocked and turned pale on the shore.
Merton shook his head and said, "don't worry, this is a pool of water. There's no problem with such a little alum. You think I don't know the role of alum. In addition to the beautiful color, the biggest role of putting alum is to kill insect eggs and algae in the water and ensure the dry and clean water quality."
After Merton explained, everyone suddenly realized that, plus Merton had tested the poison by himself, Qin Huaiyu and the three were unwilling to fall behind and jumped down immediately.
"It's so hot. You've been running for a long time. You're sweating all over. Come down!" Merton said to Mo four and Mo five.
"Thank you, young master!" Mo Si was itching. Hearing Merton's order, he immediately took off his coat and stabbed it down.
Mo Wu also had a medical cleanliness mania, but he couldn't resist the temptation and went into the water as soon as he clenched his teeth.
In the blue swimming pool, people lay in the shade of weeping willows and looked at the blue water of a pool, but their minds flew to the sea thousands of miles away.
"It's the same as I felt at the seaside that year!" Wei Chi Baolin said with a look of nostalgia, and several people hated their teeth itching.
"One day, I must go to the beach!" Chumo grits his teeth.
"It is said that the sea is divided into four seas, Southeast and northwest, which are respectively ruled by the Dragon King of the four seas. In the sea, there are three fairy islands in Yingzhou, abbot Penglai. Each sea is boundless and will never reach the end," Qin Huaiyu thought.
"As for the theory of immortals, it's a matter of Taoism, but according to the speculation of Mohism, there are bound to be times, but we haven't been there. In the future, if I grow up, I'll build the largest ship in the world to conquer the real sea." Merton said excitedly.
