Chapter 539: Snow Silver

If you dare to be the first in the world, you will either gain a great reputation or suffer great criticism.

The young man hesitated for a long time, so he naturally did not dare to express his position easily......

"Haha, why don't you speak?"

At the same time, Guo Dazhen was pressing step by step: "You are saying something, are you planning to refine medicine for free?" If so, I happened to have brought a lot of medicinal herbs, can you help me refine them? ”

"You ......"

The young man was even more angry, this Guo Dazhenren, is he going to drive him to a dead end?

Of course, forcing a dead end is naturally a bit exaggerated. But it's equivalent to being on the edge of a cliff, constantly pushing him, and it looks like he won't stop if he doesn't push him into the pit.

“…… No, so what? ”

But things must be opposed, and after a while, the young man turned his heart sideways, with a cold face, and glared angrily: "When I refine medicine, I just collect money, do you have any opinions?" ”

The young man had already made up his mind in his heart, if Guo Dazhen dared to say a word, he would immediately join forces with other Danshi apprentices and the like who were refining medicine to come up and attack him in groups.

Hearing this, the people next to him didn't dare to coax.

After all, it is a matter of course to collect money for refining medicine, even if anyone has a complaint in their heart, they dare not say it to their face. After all, in the nearby area, there are still many people refining medicine.

If they hear any rumors, they may be angry and deliberately make things difficult.

At that time, the cost of refining medicine was even higher. Forget about spending more money, I'm afraid that any Danshi apprentice will be unhappy, no matter how much money you throw, he won't help you refine medicine, this is called crying without tears.

Therefore, many people have a tacit understanding to shut up and see what Guo Dazhen has to say.

didn't think about it, at this moment, Guo Dazhen laughed heartily. Haha laughed: "You said it earlier, I thought that refining medicine was all free voluntary help......"

"Since it's not, it's a good idea."

While speaking, Guo Dazhen didn't give others a chance to react at all, and immediately shouted like a roar: "Brothers, start working, don't you hurry up and move things......

"It's coming!"

Under Guo Dazhen's order, many people suddenly appeared in some nearby corners.

These people hold a lot of things. It rushed over, and then gathered around Guo Dazhen, assembling things as fast as possible, and finally formed a huge metal stove.

"It's ......"

Everyone couldn't figure it out.

It was Qi Xiang, after seeing this stove, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was a little thoughtful.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Guo Dazhen pulled his backhand and directly took down the big iron pot behind him. Then it rested on the stove, just in perfect fit.

When others look at it, they know that between the stove and the pot. That's a set of equipment.

However, in this way, everyone is also a little confused.

Guo Dazhen, what is this for?

Is food cooked on site?

When the crowd was amazed. I saw Guo Dazhen beckoning again, and ordered: "Take charcoal and raise the fire." ”

"Here ......

A few younger brothers immediately brought a box.

The box. The workmanship is very exquisite, some patterns are carved on the surface, and copper is inlaid on the corner of the box. Wrap the corners with copper skin, so as not to collide with the box and fall apart, indicating the value of the box.

Even the boxes containing things are so exquisite.

Then the objects inside, as you can imagine, must be very precious.

But unexpected......

A few younger brothers, after bringing the box here, opened it directly. Everyone instinctively looked at it, and immediately saw that there were pieces of ...... in the box. Waste charcoal?

The thing is charcoal, even if everyone can't see it, but Guo Dazhen himself said that he will take charcoal.

Therefore, everyone also has an accurate judgment that the box is filled with charcoal.

The problem is that the charcoal seems to be soot, which is the white coal dust that turns into honeycomb coal after it has been burned out. Although it is still lumpy, it crumbles directly into powder when touched.

What does it mean to take such a precious box and fill a box of charcoal ash?

Some were bewildered, even with mocking expressions.

However, there are also people with good eyesight in the audience. At this moment, when he saw the snow-white thing in the box, he immediately blurted out and exclaimed: "Snow Silver!" ”

"What?"

Someone heard it and was stunned: "That's silver?" ”

“…… Idiot! ”

When the opportunity to show off came, someone naturally put on a mocking expression, and then in a superior posture, he said: "This snowflake silver is not only silver, but also the name of a kind of charcoal." ”

"Charcoal?"

Some people are confused, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, this is a proverb that has been passed down since ancient times. They have heard this since they were children, and they are familiar with it.

Therefore, due to their fixed thinking, they have the impression that snowflake silver is silver, and it is definitely not something else.

"You guys, you still don't know much."

The person who explained enjoyed the feeling of being omniscient and omnipotent, so he didn't mind speaking more clearly and showing that he was well-informed.

"You know, in ancient times, charcoal, like today's gas, was a very important energy source. In other words, carbon is equivalent to the current gas, which is an indispensable resource, and the two have equal status. ”

"From the princes and nobles to the common people, in daily life, it is definitely inseparable from charcoal.

"However, ordinary people use charcoal. The smoke is heavy and easy to pollute. And the likes of princes and nobles, they will definitely not be able to use such inferior products. ”

The man smiled and said, "So, after the study of skilled craftsmen, some charcoal of excellent quality, the same quality as modern smokeless media, was also born." ”

"This kind of charcoal, not only when burning, the fire is strong and smokeless, but also a piece of charcoal can continue to burn for a long time. This kind of secret charcoal has become a tribute to the court, and generally only emperors, high-ranking officials and elites can enjoy it. ”

"Ordinary people probably won't have the opportunity to see it in their lifetime, or even hear of it."

In addition, due to the firing process of this charcoal, the finished product of charcoal is as white as frost and snow, and the cost of each piece of charcoal is not low, which is equivalent to silver. This is known as snowflake silver. ”

The man sighed, "Burning a piece of charcoal is equivalent to burning a piece of silver." ”

"I see."

Some people suddenly came to their senses, and they all showed expressions of insight again.

"Of course, the most important thing is ......"

Speaking of this, the man's words turned around, and his face was mysterious: "This kind of snowflake silver, but in ancient times, the first choice for Taoist priests to burn furnace alchemy......"

"Huh?"

For a moment, everyone was stunned again.

"The first choice for alchemy!"

Many people's eyes immediately condensed.

To know. The fuel used by the current Danshi alchemy is generally high-quality pine firewood.

Because there is a lot of pine firewood, the fire is easy to prosper, and the combustion is sufficient. When burning, the oil secreted by the firewood also has a certain catalytic effect on the elixir in the furnace.

Therefore, pine wood is used as firewood for alchemy. In the Danshi industry, that is a common phenomenon. However, it is not excluded that there are some Danshi who are unconventional. When doing alchemy experiments, use gas and electricity for alchemy.

By the way, it is said that there are still some Dan masters, who are already researching. How to use solar energy for alchemy?

There is no way, in this era when the aura is dissipating day by day, stick to the traditional concept. The entire alchemy industry is about to fall into the abyss.

Therefore, some Dan masters do not mind bearing the infamy of deviating from the norm and have the courage to explore some new paths. But to be honest, everyone didn't scold these Dan masters for their study, but were happy to see it.

Even, there are some forces that spend huge sums of money to support it. After all, everyone knows that as long as a new type of alchemy can be explored, there must be infinite benefits in it.

Therefore, for the sake of high returns, there are naturally people who are willing to smash the pot and sell iron and gamble.

Of course, everyone is willing to support innovation, but it does not mean that everyone will abandon tradition. After all, the traditional alchemy method is a step that has been continuously accumulated and improved over thousands of generations, and finally formed.

This well-honed method often means stability.

Stable, small fault tolerance, naturally high success rate.

Now, seeing Guo Dazhen, it is a furnace and a pot, and even the traditional charcoal fire has been moved out. No matter how stupid a person is, he should be able to guess what he wants to do.

"Refining medicine, refining medicine, if anyone wants to refine medicine, come over quickly."

As expected, at this time, Guo Dazhen opened his throat and shouted.

Seeing this, the young man's face immediately turned pale, and his eyes revealed a murderous gaze. dared to make trouble for a long time, Guo Dazhen's purpose was to take advantage of his momentum to steal the limelight in one fell swoop.

This is called borrowing the road to build bridges, and it is also called stepping on people.

Thinking of youth, he worked hard to pull up the people and horses, paved the field, and waited to show his skills and make a fortune, but suddenly he killed a Cheng bite gold and easily picked peaches.

How could he endure this breath?

"You ......"

The young man was so angry that he was smoking, the blood on his forehead burst out, and his fingers were trembling: "Despicable and shameless......"

"What's that called?"

Guo Dazhen's eyes were white: "Although it is said that peers are enemies, but for no reason, you can't scold people." Sure enough, since ancient times, you have been walking together, look at your tone, I wish the world was dead, and no one would rob you of business, right? ”

What is the reversal of black and white, what is the spewing of blood, what is the meaning of hitting a rake upside down......

This, that's it.

The young man was so angry that his teeth were about to be crushed, and he hated to dismantle Guo Dazhen.

However, he didn't dare, and he didn't have the strength, so he had to swallow his anger.

"......Shh

At the same time, someone couldn't help but boo. After making trouble for a long time, it was not to smash the field, but to grab the stage.

What's so nice about this......

Just when some people are bored and ready to disperse. Guo Dazhen suddenly poured a box of snowflake silver charcoal under the stove and raised a fire.

In an instant, a silver-white flame rose under the furnace, and there was some faint fragrance in it.

Zizizi......

After another moment, under the scorching of the silver-white flames, the heavy iron pot slowly turned red......

After three days of tossing, I finally came back. Thank you all for not giving up, there will be two more today. After all, I still have to save the manuscript, I hope you will be more considerate. (To be continued.) )
