Feng Xiaobao is an out-and-out man of action in his bones, since he decided to return to his old business, he made a big purchase in Nanshi the next day, and purchased two racks of medicinal materials (rickshaws) and a cart of pharmaceutical utensils and bottles and cans for medicine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then I found a house in the back garden of Laojunguan, cleaned it, put the medicinal herbs away, renovated two rooms, connected the chimney, and prepared it for hot processing.
In the next construction, the old man Zhang Bo came forward and hired two local innocent healthy women (middle-aged women), one named Zhang and the other Bai, who were responsible for cleaning the medicinal materials, cutting the medicinal materials, mashing and refining honey.
The medicinal materials bought back must be cleaned to remove bad rotten roots and stumps and rotten parts, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Then use a cutter to chop the herbs finely, and use a stone mortar and a pestle to mash the herbs.
Then there is refining honey, Chinese medicine preparations want to be delicious, you have to use honey pills, and the sugar content in honey is high, which inhibits the activity of bacteria in the herbs and is conducive to preservation.
The purpose of honey refining is to attach impurities, kill microorganisms, evaporate water and enhance viscosity, because honey often contains a small amount of beeswax, microorganisms and dead bee dust and other impurities, which are difficult to remove by manual methods, so the honey must be placed in a copper pot, heated to boiling, wiped out the surface foam, and then filtered with gauze, and then heated and concentrated with a simmer to remove excess water, until it is slightly viscous and can be drawn by hand.
The honey in the north has less moisture, the honey in the south has more moisture, and the best honey comes from the Western Regions, with the least moisture, the most suitable, but the price is the most expensive, Feng Xiaobao selected the honey from the north.
Feng Xiaobao taught them the method, and then instructed them to work, and the two women refined the first pot and said happily: "Thank you Xiaolang for teaching us these skills." ”
These are boring manual work, and our Comrade Xiaobao naturally entrusted them to complete them.
It's nothing, Feng Xiaobao smiled and said that the most important job is to combine medicine, which is placed in the house and sealed everywhere so that no one can see it.
The ancestral secret recipe, if it is a big family, simply seal a place, and the workers cannot contact the outside.
He weighed out the corresponding amount of medicinal materials with a scale, put them in a pot, stir-fried until the color deepened, then added the appropriate refining honey (usually the ratio is 4:1, the medicine 4 honey 1), the speed of turning, so that the honey and the medicinal plants are mixed well, fried until they do not stick to the hand, and take out the pills that are to be warmed to make a longan.
When honey frying medicinal herbs, it is generally used to simmer to prevent the herbs from burning.
Therefore, stir-frying medicine is a delicate job, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
After the medicinal materials are cooled, coupled with the wax shell sealed and stored, a "strong pill" will be ready!
At the same time, the dog skin plaster was boiled on fire, but only this time, it was only done once, because the smell was too strong, and it was processed in the city and affected the neighborhood.
Before, he did it in the wilderness and in the open outside the city, but now he can't.
He gets up in the morning to exercise every day, and for about three days, his wooden stakes have been brought in at the bamboo and wooden ware shop in Nanshi for him to practice Wing Chun indoors.
Then after eating breakfast (bought by Zhang's), I started to work, eat and rest at noon, do it again in the afternoon, and do it at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, time flies, and I suddenly realize that I have been working for a week.
He wiped the sweat on his head, looked at a large number of pills with a sense of accomplishment, and felt like a farmer uncle looking at his own pile of grain during the autumn harvest, and Feng Xiaobao felt that he did see countless Kaiyuan Tongbao flying towards him, which felt really good! It makes Feng Xiaobao feel a sense of accomplishment, and I think this is probably the pleasure of labor.
But it's really too tired, in the past, Feng Dabao helped together, and Feng Dabao did the main work----- fried medicinal herbs with honey, and now he does everything alone, which is very hard!
Hey, when will we be able to become the slave owners of all evils, and acquire some slaves, so that we can get something for nothing and allocate our time to more important work.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were still slaves in the evil feudal society, such as Kequ, Buqu and slaves, etc., which were slaves, for example, maidservants could be bought and sold at will (even in the Song Dynasty, the great poet Su Dongpo would be sold to others by his own big-bellied concubine...... To kill a servant girl, you only need to report it to the government, and you can kill them for no reason.
The trilogy comes from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, the world is in turmoil, the peasants can only rely on the big family, the strong Ding is arranged as the force of the gate, called "Buqu" or "Kequ", they have more personal freedom than slaves, basically have a family (slaves can only form a family with the consent of the master), in terms of economic labor, the trilogy spends two-thirds of the time for the landlord to cultivate, and the other time is to strive for self-sufficiency in a piece of land allocated by the landlord (the slave is the master's everything, and the master provides his food and clothing), and the ministry also has the obligation to serve the landlord, Take the tribe as a soldier, or simply a slave soldier.
Once they have the trilogy, they will almost kill them, and in the shadow of death, they are naturally not afraid that they will leak Feng Xiaobao's ancestral secret recipe.
Now that you think about it, you still have to hide your merit and fame, and concentrate on making your medicine!
Feng Xiaobao has been busy for the past seven days, and happy events have come one after another.
It is a happy event for Xuanqing, but it can also be regarded as a happy event for Feng Xiaobao.
The first thing is that the Laojunguan of Xuanqing officially opened the mountain gate to welcome the arrival of pilgrims!
Laojunguan opens the mountain gate, it is a religious event in the cultivation workshop, people pass ten, ten pass hundreds, have to Laojunguan to rejoice, burn incense and worship the saints.
At the same time, it also caused a repercussion in Luoyang City.
Xuanqing is the disciple of a generation of strange people Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng knows that he has leaked too many heavenly secrets, so he is extremely low-key, and in recent years, due to illness, he almost does not show up in front of the world, but everyone's interest in Li Chunfeng has increased unabated.
Today, his apprentice openly appeared, presiding over the Laojun Temple, and the Lao Jun's surname was Li Ming'er, and the Tang royal family was also surnamed Li, recognizing Li Er as an ancestor and respecting Taoism, the two reasons were that many big families also sent family disciples (high-ranking officials with heads and faces did not come, after all, the status was not equal, unless it was Li Chunfeng who opened the incense hall) or a housekeeper with status in the house
On that day, the heads are embraced, and the incense is prosperous!
The empty incense case placed in front of the Sanqing Hall was full of ashes one day.
Seeing the unprecedented grand occasion, Uncle Zhang, the old man, had a deep affection for Lao Junguan, and couldn't help crying with joy!
The activity of the day is actually very simple, that is, to burn incense, worship Sanqing, because there are many people, and nothing can be done, and the income of the incense on that day reached 300,000 yuan!
The approximate conversion price is 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 copper coins, that is, there is an income of 300 taels of silver, which is definitely not low! At that time, the price of rice was 300 Wen for bucket rice, which could be exchanged for 1000 buckets of rice, and the weight of 1 bucket of rice was about 6.25 kg now, and 6250 kg of rice was obtained, and the income was really good.
The money is Xuanqing, and Feng Xiaobao has gained connections.
He stood beside Xuanqing and greeted the pilgrims, as if he were half a master, he was responsible for receiving the name stickers and then receiving the offerings.
So Feng Xiaobao got to know the four richest bosses of Xiushanfang, met Fangzheng, and also met the families of several minor officials of the imperial court who lived in Xiushanfang, and the highest rank was a six-grade official!
Putting it on the front, let alone from the sixth grade, Feng Xiaobao, the county commander who wants to see the seventh grade, has no hope (unless he sues someone or someone sues him).
In addition, many children of big families and housekeepers and stewards received the name stickers that made him soft-handed.
There are also many enthusiastic neighbors, although they have no official background and influence, but some of them are highly respected and respond to every call; Some have big waists and round shoulders, and are quite courageous; Some are Wang Po selling melons, good at talking, who dares to provoke her, she will give you a tongue to provoke ten thousand husbands, and fight invincible opponents all over the world......
He knew a lot of people at once, and he couldn't help but sigh, if he knew so many people when he was with Feng Dabao before, no one would dare to touch them easily!
At the moment, he's just chilling with everyone,
After that, he took a note of the offering, and thought that the Chinese characters and numbers one, two, and three were troublesome, so he directly used Arabic numerals, and when Xuanqing saw such a clear account, he listened to Xiaobao's explanation, which made his eyes shine!
Arabic numerals were not introduced to China until the 13th and 14th centuries AD, and were not widely used until the early 20th century.
The opening of the mountain gate in Xuanqing was the first happy event, and the second happy event was that Feng Xiaobao began to sell medicine in the South Market.
He picked up the pill and went to the Tianqiao area of Nanshi to set up a stall in a hurry!
"Dangdang dang ......" the gong basket struck and shouted: "Hey, fathers and fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, come and take a look, Xiaobao passed by Guibaodi, not for fame or profit, just for everyone's health, my pill is small, and the effect can be great!" ”
Hearing his voice, the flow of people gathered, and the people who walked the overpass liked to see new toys coming out, and soon surrounded a group of people.
Seeing a group of black heads, Xiaobao calmed down, after all, this was his first time to set up the stage independently, he shook his spirits and turned ten somersaults in a row!
Enough hard work, however, the applause is sparse.
Then he played the family three-way boxing, played a stick, the boxing method was rigorous, the stick method was vigorous, and he thought that he had played a level.
However, the audience did not applaud much, and the performance was not enthusiastic and applause.
The people of the imperial capital are very confused, they haven't seen anything, what haven't they seen?
Feng Xiaobao's half-pulled level, and the boxing stick is not a famous master, there are a lot of people who are more powerful than him, so I want to use this level to win the appreciation of the people of my imperial capital, save it.
Sure enough, the fire saw the real gold, and the overpass handle was a trick, and it was clear at a glance that it was not so easy to fool the people of my emperor's capital.
The Feng family's boxing stick is popular in the small county town, but it is not the case in the imperial capital, there are many people who are more powerful than him.
Seeing everyone's reaction, fortunately, Feng Xiaobao still had a plan, he hurriedly invited two wrestlers to help lay a wooden stake, thick with a sea bowl, high with five meters,
Then he used the wooden stake as the target of the attack, and used the splitting palm and Tan leg of the northern faction!
The splitting and hanging palm is wide open and closed, and the palm wind is strong.
Tan's legs are fierce, like an iron hoe plowing the field, kicking on the stake with a thud, and the ground shakes.
This is real kung fu, the key is that I haven't seen it before, the picky imperial capital audience is satisfied this time, and they don't hesitate to warm applause!
Seeing that the scene was warm, Feng Xiaobao began to rap:
"Xiaobao went to Kunlun today (he bragged about himself) and came to the treasure land to sell secret recipes.
Those who are sick come to be healed, and those who are not sick come to heal.
Hey--- if you have money, you have a money field, and if you don't have money, you have a personal field-~-~-~-~-!
Take a look, take a look!
I was holding a dog skin paste in my left hand and a fairy pill in my right hand. Go to the end of the world to help the world, and walk all over the rivers and lakes to save the wounded. (Everyone who listened to it laughed when they saw this half-grown child shouting like this)
This dog skin plaster can treat bruises, and it is the most beneficial for backache and leg numbness, and inconvenience of muscles and bones. (He tore open the package to let the audience see that the material inside was genuine, and then let them smell it to let them know that the medicine smelled strong)
After eating strong pills, the spirit is 100 times, the body is strong, Xiaobao came today, and everyone has a good fate, do not receive a penny, give it to everyone, everyone goes back to try, think it is good, tomorrow Xiaobao will come again, just give a cost price. ”
Feng Xiaobao Shi exhibited the marketing strategy of giving first and then taking, eating first and then paying, thinking that after everyone was greedy and cheap, he took it back to try it, and found that the effect was remarkable, and the next day he didn't ask for it and shouted to take Kaiyuan Tongbao forward!
Unexpectedly, the people of my emperor's capital are so easy to serve, so that many veterans who walk the rivers and lakes will capsize on the overpass.
When Feng Xiaobao distributed the pills to everyone, he didn't expect that few of them reached out for free things, and there were very few people who took them!
"If you give it to me, I'll ask for it, isn't it very shameless?"
"If you give me something, I'll eat it, what if I eat it and it goes bad? Can you afford it? ”
"Young man, you don't work well, some people send three days in a row, you only send one day, the level is too poor!
……
Listening to the voices of all parties, Xiao Bao Ju Khan, he couldn't imagine that the vision of the people of the imperial capital was so high, so difficult to serve, and seriously doubted his credibility, he was in a hurry and shouted: "Who will bring me a male dog and three female dogs!" ”
