Chapter 012: Alchemy
Li Wenxuan, who finished eating, walked out of the flower hall with his buttocks. I left all the dishwashing to Zhao Tianer, after all, she is very professional. Even if he wanted to wash, she wouldn't let him. In addition, men generally prefer to cook and stir-fry rather than wash dishes. In fact, Li Wenxuan didn't even think about doing either of the two.
When he walked into the study, he splashed ink and wrote the three big characters of the alchemy room on the spread out rice paper. Li Wenxuan, who slowly put down the brush in his hand, sat down, drooped his head and thought about things, after all, his preparations were not finished. He was so engrossed that he didn't feel the rapid loss of time at all.
Zhao Tian'er held a cup of freshly brewed tea in both hands and put it on the side of the table, and then quietly planned to leave quietly. Li Wenxuan, who raised his left hand, grabbed her right wrist and slowly let it go, thinking about other things in his mind and said calmly: "When I was eating before, I asked you to warm the bed to tease you, and you can't take it seriously." ”
Zhao Tian'er, who just said "oh", didn't say another word, and walked straight out. She didn't go back to her room directly, but went to Li Wenxuan's room anyway. Although he doesn't want to warm the bed by himself, he still needs to make the bed and fold the quilt for him. Zhao Tian'er, who didn't feel lost, had already had a kind of psychological preparation, that is, his body would belong to him sooner or later.
Li Wenxuan, who was still sitting in the circle chair, continued to think about things, and this sat all night. Not feeling tired, he left the study and pulled out the wooden box from under the floor of a particular room. I took out the deed and put it on my body, covered the lid of the box, and didn't put the wooden box in it again.
Li Wenxuan, who had laid out the floor tiles, saw Zhao Tianer in the kitchen with a wooden box. He stuffed something into her hand and said, "You will keep this wooden box." With that, he turned away without breakfast.
Li Wenxuan, who left home, did not delay on the road and went directly to the dental store. He was not in a hurry to make a move at this time, so he first inquired about the price of the field, and then went to find a tooth man with an official post. Although the commission of the official tooth is more than that of the private tooth, it is more reliable and insured. Li Wenxuan, who took out the field deed and gave it to the other party, already had a psychological price in his heart. I know that I will suffer some losses now, and I will not suffer losses in the future.
When the chubby official saw the title deed of the three hundred acres of land, his face immediately smiled. After a total in his heart, he understood that this was a big deal of thousands of taels of silver. The commission of 20 draws is also more than 100 taels of silver. With a smile on his face, he invited Li Wenxuan to sit down and personally made him tea.
The land in Li Wenxuan's hands is good land. After taking a sip of tea, he was willing to sell it for between ten and fifteen taels of silver per acre. The fat official who could understand dragged his fat body to find a buyer in the dental store first, and then asked the small guys in the dental store to let the wind out, after all, the seller wanted to trade as quickly as possible.
An hour passed, and the fat official tooth who was sweating all over walked to Li Wenxuan's side, and said quite happily: "The buyer has been found." The other party was willing to buy 300 acres of land in the hands of the son for fifteen taels of silver. ”
After Li Wenxuan's total, 4,500 taels of silver were deducted from the tooth man's 5 percent commission, and there were still 4,275 taels of silver in his own hands. Satisfied, he did not raise any objections, and immediately expressed his willingness to settle with the buyer. The buyer who did not come forward was handled by Fat Guanya, and the two parties went through the necessary formalities and successfully completed the transaction.
Li Wenxuan got the silver ticket that belonged to him and was about to leave, but he met Lin Zhengbei who walked in and walked towards him. Lin Zhengbei, who had a smile on his face, greeted very hypocritically: "Virtuous nephew, it has always been good." ”
"Good, very good." Li Wenxuan, who also had a smirk on his face, put the silver ticket into his sleeve.
The fat official who was standing on the side hurriedly walked to Lin Zhengbei's side, handed the deed into his hand with both hands, and Lin Zhengbei, who had taken it, looked at it and said sarcastically with a smile: "According to the old man, you are doing extremely badly, otherwise you would not have to sell the land and sell the land." It's really Sun Sell Ye Tian is not distressed. ”
Li Wenxuan suddenly realized that his own 300 acres of land was bought by him. Although he and Lin Zhengbei have a grudge, they have no regrets. He knew that even if he retorted at this time, it would be useless, after all, the deal between the two sides was valid. Li Wenxuan, who felt that he had not been deceived and had not sold his land at a cheap price, knew that he was only ridiculed by him at most. Other than that, he didn't feel any real loss.
Lin Zhengbei didn't say anything when he saw him, so he fanned the title deed in his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you regret selling the land to me?" Actually, whoever buys is buying. From now on, your family's fields for several generations will be lost in the hands of your boy. ”
Li Wenxuan was not angry at the other party's provocation. I firmly believe that the person who laughs the most should be him, not Lin Zhengbei in front of him. It seemed abnormal, with a smile on his face, but he made a gesture to the other party: "Thank you." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have sold the land for such a good price. ”
Lin Zhengbei didn't see him jumping like thunder, and the regretful look of beating his chest was a big disappointment, and Li Wenxuan, who deliberately laughed, walked away with his hands behind his back. A sneer appeared on his face when he walked out of the tooth shop, and in his heart he wrote down another new account with the Lin family. He didn't go to the carpenter to customize the medicinal materials he needed to place, but just asked the master carpenter to make a plaque engraved with the three-character regular script of the alchemy room.
Afterwards, Li Wenxuan went directly to the medicinal herb shop in the city yesterday. In the process of buying and selling, the two parties inevitably had to go through some bargaining, and Li Wenxuan, who had enough silver taels in his hands, did not make false politeness with the shopkeeper, but bought the medicinal materials in this medicinal herb shop together with his tithes with a clear purpose.
Li Wenxuan, who spent two thousand taels of silver, still felt that it was worth the money, and the only thing he didn't feel very satisfied with was the lack of wild ginseng in the medicinal materials he bought: "Excuse me, where can I buy the best wild ginseng in the city?" ”
"Wild ginseng is not easy to find in Guixi County. If you want it, you can only go to the nearby Shangrao County to find it. The old pharmacy shopkeeper really didn't know what he wanted to do, after all, he bought so many medicinal materials for himself, but he didn't open a pharmacy, he just repeatedly told them to move to his house, so he pointed out a direction for his problem.
Li Wenxuan, who said the word "good", walked outside the door, called five taels of mule carts, and returned home with a ticket of people carried in the pharmacy. Seeing a group of people hurriedly carrying a large number of medicinal materials to the house, Zhao Tian'er was really speechless, after all, that thing can't be eaten. I don't know much about him, so I really don't know what he bought it for?
I really couldn't help but want to ask a question, Zhao Tian'er walked up to him and asked, "Our family plans to open a pharmacy?" ”
"I don't have the idea of opening a pharmacy." Li Wenxuan replied bluntly while watching the outsiders carrying things inward.
Zhao Tian'er, who crossed her hands in front of her chest, frowned slightly and said, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"Alchemy." Li Wenxuan, who didn't think about it, blurted out concisely.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Tian'er wanted to cry without tears, and she really had an urge to beat him. I know very well that alchemy is not stir-frying, and a Taoist priest who does not have advanced Taoism will not be able to practice it. Seeing that she would get nothing, she felt sorry for her who would lose her money, and she didn't understand why Li Wenxuan was so hard?
Zhao Tian'er, who shook her little head, thought to herself, letting him be a nerd is a hundred times stronger than making these. Judging by this situation, he should have sold his property.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to go on a long trip. I don't know when I will come back, so you will take care of everything at home. Li Wenxuan, who was going to Shangrao County to take a look, said hello to her before going out.
Zhao Tian'er, who was reluctant to let him leave him, didn't say yes, and said out of concern: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Buy medicinal herbs." Li Wenxuan didn't intend to hide it from her, and said the truth.
Zhao Tian'er, who suddenly felt a little spinning, said with a sad face: "There are enough in the house." Do you want to? ”
Li Wenxuan, who nodded his head, gave her an answer. Zhao Tian'er, who was sulking, "hummed" for a while, and walked away out of sight and with a clear heart. I really don't understand that he is doing this. She really didn't want to believe that Li Wenxuan had begun to become abnormal.
He didn't care that the little girl was angry, and his mind was on his own medicinal materials. Seeing that everyone had moved everything away, Li Wenxuan sent them away, and only then did he enter the alchemy room and carefully inspect and classify the names of the drawers containing various medicinal materials. I know very well that these things can't be mistaken.
It was originally an empty room that had been moved by thieves, and the walls on the left and right sides were already filled with shelves containing medicinal herbs. On the wall opposite the entrance hangs a portrait of the Taoist Sanqing. In the center of the room sat a bronze furnace priced at six hundred taels of silver, and behind this alchemy furnace was a futon. A handful of dust was placed on top of the futon, making the inside of the huge room look like it.
Li Wenxuan, who checked it correctly, sat cross-legged on the futon, half-closed and half-open eyes. He picked up the dust whisk and pretended to be up. What he is chanting in his mouth is not a Taoist scripture, but he eats grapes without spitting out grape skins, does not eat grapes and spits out grape skins, or just does not turn around and turns around, Smecta.
Li Wenxuan, who was playing hard and opened his eyes, let out a hearty laugh, then tilted his body and put the end of the dust whisk in his hand into the collar to scratch the itch on his back. He felt tickled and comfortable, and he already regarded the dust as an itch. I don't have a way or a faction, and I have no teacher.
