Chapter 020: Cold Incense Pill

Li Wenxuan looked at Zhao Tian'er's little appearance that was worried about whether she could find a hundred beggars, and she was very cute. I didn't have strict requirements for quantity, so I talked to her in detail about it again. When she suddenly came to her senses, she smiled and complained that she was really stupid. However, Li Wenxuan felt that she was naturally stupid, not stupid.

After eating, Li Wenxuan, who was not sleepy, went to the alchemy room to dispense medicine. I prepared a pair of thirty-six herbs according to a certain amount, and a pair of pills could only make about five pills. In order to cover up the medicinal taste in the pill and taste delicious, he would add honey, sugar, jasmine, mint, licorice and other honey to his ancestral secret recipe in the later production process.

Li Wenxuan, who couldn't sleep, found firewood for the fire, and clean water and a wooden basin for brewing medicinal herbs. He was killing time, squatted down to burn the alchemy furnace first, then got up and picked up the wooden shed and poured a pair of medicines into the alchemy furnace. He squatted down again, and added firewood to the stove as he watched the fire.

Li Wenxuan, who was a little tired from squatting, got up and sat on the futon again, drooping his head to observe the fire inside the base of the alchemy furnace. Suddenly feeling a little itchy in his back, he picked up the whisk placed next to him to replace the tickle and scratched it three times, and casually remembered the front and back, Smecta.

In fact, Li Wenxuan's heart is very aware of the production process of this medicine. It is necessary to use martial fire at the beginning, and then slowly boil it with a simmer later. All he had was the little concentrated potion that was going to be boiled in the furnace. He just wanted to use the juice that had absorbed the essence of the Chinese medicinal herbs in the Dan furnace and used it to synthesize pills.

Zhao Tian'er, who had cleaned up, walked out of the kitchen and noticed that the alchemy room was brightly lit. With a curious heart, he pushed open the door of the alchemy room with both hands and walked in. When she walked in, she happened to see Li Wenxuan is words in his mouth. Zhao Tian'er didn't listen to the truth, and she didn't know what he was talking about, so the reaction from his posture was that he was chanting a spell.

Li Wenxuan, who saw her coming, didn't bother to get up and add firewood to the stove, and said with a smile: "I came at the right time, just enough to give me a hand." Bother you to add two sticks of dry wood to the stove. Zhao Tian'er, who walked to the side of the Dan furnace, followed his words, half-squatted down, picked up a piece of dry firewood in his left and right hands and threw it into the stove.

She had already smelled the medicinal smell wafting from the alchemy furnace, mixed with a trace of sweetness and sweetness, and slowly stood up and faced him, "What is cooking in this furnace?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who needed to stay here, was sitting cross-legged, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, his right hand shook the dust in his hand, and he pretended to be serious and said, "It's not called boiling?" This is refining elixir. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who approached him, really couldn't believe that he could refine the elixir. However, I can't say anything discouraged. Her thoughts instantly appeared on her face. Zhao Tian'er's suspicious look made her keep looking back at the steaming alchemy furnace. She was very curious about what was cooking in the stove, after all, it smelled really good, and it didn't necessarily taste good.

Li Wenxuan could see a few hints of doubt in her expression. In order to dispel her suspicions and make her convinced, he said something mysterious: "Don't question my words. This is not a pot of chowder soup, nor is it a hot pot, but a refining of elixir. This stove uses dozens of good medicinal materials. However, those things are all mundane things in the human world, and the cultivation that I poured into them is the key. When the elixir of this furnace is successfully refined, then the person who eats one will cure the disease and strengthen the body without disease. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who made a sound of "mmmmmmmm Since Li Wenxuan said yes, then it is. I will not disobey him. In her heart, she was thinking that if a pot of chowder soup was really cooked in the alchemy furnace, it would be a hundred times stronger than the refining pill in his mouth, after all, no matter how bad it was, people couldn't eat it, and they could also pour it out and feed it to the pigs without wasting it.

When I thought that the stove was full of good medicinal herbs to mess around like this, I was afraid that even pigs would not eat it. Zhao Tian'er thought of the silver of the white flowers being melted away like this, and slowly became a bubble. She had the urge to cry. I was also a little influenced by public opinion from the outside world. She guessed in a momentary whimsy, could it be that Li Wenxuan really became an out-and-out loser?

Li Wenxuan, who noticed that she did not continue to speak, said that her doubts were not all dispelled. I felt that such a situation was a normal reaction, after all, she didn't see the actual effect. He is not in a hurry, and he is extremely confident, and he still proceeds according to the plan. You know in your heart, you only need to do a good job of Chinese patent medicine, while doing the necessary publicity, and then slowly wait for the opportunity to show your own magic medicine, after all, people eat whole grains, it is impossible not to get sick. What's more, it was still in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, when the medical and health care levels were not as developed as modern medical care.

As for Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture, where he is located, it is famous all over the country, but it is only in Longhu Mountain. In addition, this can be described as a rather remote place in the Ming Dynasty. Li Wenxuan is confident that in this poor and remote place, not to mention good doctors, even quacks may not be easy to find. When I was purchasing medicinal materials, I had a little insight into the business level of Langzhong around Fang Yuan. The final conclusion he came to was that the prescriptions they prescribed could not kill people, nor could they cure patients with more complicated conditions.

Minor ailments such as headaches, brain fever, wind chills, and colds are no problem for them. If they encounter a little complicated illness, they can be at a loss. Although there are some prescriptions that can cure diseases, the use of dragon-tiger medicines can damage the vitality and short life span of patients.

Zhao Tian'er, who was standing aside and couldn't rest assured in the end, said in a low voice: "You won't eat people with this thing, right?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who is proficient in medical skills, has not eaten a person in the prescription prescribed in his previous life, and said confidently: "You really can't let go of your heart, so the first batch of pills I refined will be given to you to eat first." After you eat it, you will understand that it has to be there. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who suddenly blushed, shook her little head like a rattle and said, "Forget it." I'm afraid I'll eat it badly, and no one will cook for you then. ”

Li Wenxuan, who heard the little girl's remarks, suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning. I dare not say that my medical skills are perfect and at the peak, but I can also be said to be a master in the apricot forest. When he heard this kind of thing for the first time, he really felt that it was too shocking. Li Wenxuan, who showed a bitter gourd face, was all regarded as her childish words, and she didn't pay much attention to it. However, my heart did respond to that sentence in that very short moment, which hurt my self-esteem.

After more than an hour, Zhao Tianer, who is used to going to bed early and getting up early, really can't resist it. Rubbing her eyes, she yawned again and again, after all, staying here is not only hot, but also really boring. I don't know when Li Wenxuan is going to toss? I don't understand what's so fun about making this thing?

"You go to sleep first. Tomorrow, you'll have to go to the little beggar for me to help. Li Wenxuan, who noticed that she was dozing, was not sleepy at all.

In this short time together, the two have long been very close to each other, which makes Zhao Tianer less of the false courtesy between master and servant in the past, but more intimate between relatives. Her heart was waiting for his words. Now that he has spoken, he can go to sleep in peace.

Zhao Tian'er, who yawned again, chirped and said, "Then I'll go to sleep." You play slowly. ”

Li Wenxuan, who made a promise, immediately reacted immediately. I'm playing here, obviously I'm working hard. He just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he saw Zhao Tian'er rubbing his eyes with both hands, turning his back to him, and walking towards the door. Li Wenxuan, who shook his head, sighed, feeling that his heart as a thirty-year-old man and his body as a twenty-year-old man were more real than that of a sixteen-year-old girl in his own family.

Li Wenxuan, who stood up, in addition to adding firewood, carefully observed the situation inside the alchemy furnace. After another two hours or so, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and his medicine was tormented to an end. Holding a small silver spoon in his right hand, he put the concentrated juice from the stove into the fine porcelain bowl that was ready for the stove.

Li Wenxuan, who rolled up his sleeves, scooped the small medicine in his hand and pounded it with a "knock knock". Half an hour passed by his busy work, and he was finally done. When he saw the five pills that were the size of the dragon's eye core, the shape was round, and the plum-colored pill was made, he felt that it was really not easy, after all, he had been in a smoky room for hours in a not very ventilated room. Even if you sell it for a thousand taels of silver per grain, it is not too much, after all, the Ming Dynasty is the only one.

Li Wenxuan looked at the finished product of this Chinese patent medicine and thought to himself, although his own thing is good, he still has to package it well and give it a resounding name. Since he was refining the pill with the identity of a Taoist priest, the name of this thing in the past could no longer be used, after all, it was too cheesy and not mysterious enough.

Li Wenxuan quickly remembered that the pill Xue Baochai took in "Dream of Red Mansions" had a certain similarity with herself, after all, the taste was cold and sweet, but the effect of her own pill was completely different from what she was taking. He thought the name was good, so he decided to name it Leng Xiangwan.
