Chapter 131: The housekeeper's wife
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Ji Qing didn't feel very good, because he still didn't seem to have made much progress in Yazi.
Although during the month he was here, he continued to study the basic tricks of alchemy with Han Ling, and by the way, he improved the quality of the pill, plus the series of operation procedures that he came to try it himself.
Originally, the original intention of learning alchemy was to ensure that he had enough medicinal stones to knock, but as a result, Ling Fu gave him a big gift package before, and he felt very good, but it hurt his body a little.
It's easy to reach the current progress, and I'm only one step away from breaking through.
Before and after, Ji Qing calculated carefully, and after eating nearly ninety genuine Explosive Blood Tonic Pills given by Ling Fu, and then ate nearly twenty low-cost versions of the Semi-finished Explosive Blood Tonic Pills, it was really similar to eating poison, and he ate his qi and blood backflow dozens of times......
After taking such a large amount of pills, the medicinal power gradually precipitated in the body, causing him to now look withered and look like an old man in his forties and fifties.
It was easy to use the pill to superimpose ten times the speed of qi and blood flow, but he still couldn't completely break through the double lock, to be honest, Ji Qing himself was a little desperate.
But after thinking about it, there is still half a year to go, and there will always be a breakthrough day when you practice more, so I continue to persevere.
He didn't want to disappoint Shang Li.
"Rhubarb! Come out, come out! You have the ability to take medicine indiscriminately, so you can open the door for me now! You make yourself look like this, do you know how worried Miss is? She is now accepted as a personal disciple by a doctor, but as soon as she heard that you were taking medicine indiscriminately, she immediately prepared to skip class to come down the mountain to see you, and now she has been arrested and forced to retreat! Do you know?!"
"Miss asked you to stop taking medicine indiscriminately, it is easy to cause internal injuries to the body, even if the one-year appointment cannot be reached, even if she scatters all her family wealth, she will dredge up the relationship and let you enter the school palace! Don't take medicine blindly...... I don't know which alchemist fooled you by refining the medicine, but don't let me catch it. ”
"Let's go?" Han Ling heard that the movement outside gradually stopped, so he asked Ji Qing, who had been silent for a long time.
"Well, it's gone. Ji Qing confirmed, and then replied.
"Your young lady's big-breasted maid shouldn't know that I refined the medicine for you, right?"
"No, no, who is with whom are the two of us, how can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing......"
Coincidentally, at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled the two of them again.
"Who?" asked Ji Qing.
"It's me! I know you're going to be taking medicine again today, so Miss asked me to send you some supplements. A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Oh, it's you, come in. Ji Qing replied.
At this time, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", Chen Shuozhen looked at Ji Qing with an unhappy face, and put a food box in front of Ji Qing.
"What is it today?" Ji Qing rubbed his hands.
"Pork and green onion dumplings, do you want to eat them?" Chen Shuozhen replied.
Because of the need to study the relationship between alchemy, Ji Qing naturally can't continue to stay in Wuchuan Town, that would be too ostentatious, and many diners from the families of noble children have recently moved to live in Wuchuan Town, but studying alchemy in the service town, eating naturally becomes a problem.
The work of delivering meals naturally fell into the hands of Chen Shuozhen.
"Pork and green onion dumplings, you're amazing!" Ji Qing hugged her in her arms.
"Oh, you're going to die, there are still people next to you, aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?" Chen Shuozhen's face flushed, and he pushed him away.
Pork and green onion dumplings belong to one of the traditional Chinese snacks, dumplings. The main ingredients are pork, green onions, ginger slices, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, light soy sauce, etc. China has the custom of eating dumplings on the day of the winter solstice in the 24 solar terms, and pork and green onion dumplings are the main specialty foods of people on this day. 168 Books
As the saying goes, eating dumplings on the winter solstice can prevent freezing ears, on the one hand, because of the festival, on the other hand, it is also because Chen Shuo really knows that Ji Qing loves to eat dumplings, so he often makes dumplings for him to eat.
"Well, I made a total of more than 600 dumplings today, and I sent you sixty of them this time, so let's try them and see if they are cold." ”
"Hmm...... Ahem, you ...... What's in your dumplings...... Ahem, ahem!"
"It's pepper, it's one of the most sought-after commodities in our Wuchuan town, so I added it to the dumpling filling......"
"Ahem...... You're such a clever little ghost. Ji Qing felt as if she had been tricked.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm kidding, I've only added pepper to the first few dumplings, don't worry, I won't eat the dead." ”
Han Ling on the side of "poof...... wanted to laugh when she heard it, but when she saw Ji Qing's unnatural expression, she had to hold back her seizure.
"And this oolong tea, you can drink it for a while, it's good for your body's recovery. ”
"yes, I see. ”
"Then I'll go, remember to pack up the food box after eating, and bring the food box back after the alchemy is over. ”
"Don't worry, you can't forget it. ”
"Well, it's good to know. Chen Shuozhen immediately left in stride, Minghuju still had a bunch of things waiting for her to deal with, she didn't have time to wait here for Ji Qing to finish eating.
"Brother Han, if you want to laugh, laugh now......" Ji Qing saw that Han Ling was smiling hard next to her, and looked at her with a black line.
"Poofhahahahahaha...... Loyal minister, I didn't expect you to look so kind and kind-hearted, and there is such a beautiful maid for you to call and send you something to eat...... Will they warm your bed at night?" Han Ling looked at Ji Qing a little narrowly, as if he was very interested in the relationship between him and Chen Shuozhen.
"Don't mention it, this girl is a little housekeeper, and she thinks about selling me as a shopkeeper one day all day long, and she can be the shopkeeper herself. Ji Qing said while eating dumplings.
"Eh, no, I think she's pretty honest. Han Ling had a playful expression of "don't lie to me".
"It's true, you haven't been with her for a long time, and the more you deal with her, you will know what kind of person she is. Ji Qing continued.
"Have you heard about what happened in Wuchuan Town recently?"
"I've heard some rumors a long time ago, but I didn't expect things to be so serious, so I almost didn't fight. ”
"That's not a problem that can be solved by a fight, if it's really that easy to solve, I'm afraid that Wuchuan Town has been broken by now, where can I sit down and talk so calmly." ”
Although the town has begun to gradually reduce the price of goods, it is still not as good as the "blood vomiting conscience sale" activity policy in Wuchuan Town, everyone is obviously used to spending in Wuchuan Town, and the income of the town has long plummeted.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the construction of Wuchuan Town, the town of Zhixue met and sent people to Wuchuan Town to make trouble, but the Wuchuan Town Army pressed them, and the martial arts were not good, so it was replaced by Wendou.
In addition, since this month, the contradiction between Wuchuan Town and Zhixue Town has been put on the surface, and Luoyi School Palace has sent bachelors to "negotiate" with Wang Meng many times, but without exception, they were all refuted by Wang Meng and were speechless.
In the end, it was up to the deputy mountain chief to come forward to negotiate with Wang Meng in person, Wang Meng only slightly relaxed a part of the commodity interests to allow the town to continue to operate, and the income promised to Luoyi School Palace would naturally not be less, but the price of the commodity needed to be set by Wuchuan Town, and the deputy mountain chief gladly accepted it, and the two sides then set up a word as evidence.
It is also because of this matter that the contradiction between the two sides has come to an end temporarily, and it is also the tough attitude of Wuchuan Town as a competitor, and the town has to make adjustments to relax the high commodity prices in the past to envelop the rich families who originally lived in the town, but more people are still enthusiastic about going to Wuchuan Town to do business......
However, in Ji Qing's opinion, this is likely to bring some unnecessary hidden dangers and troubles to Wuchuan Town, and it is impossible for Luoyi School Palace to tolerate the existence of such a market town forever, so it is very likely to disappear......
He still likes the trade atmosphere of Wuchuan Town very much, but he doesn't have the leisure time to take care of this, this kind of thing, presumably Ling Mansion can naturally handle it.
