Chapter Seventy-One: Trouble Comes to the Door
Some people say that life is like a crying doll, whenever you think he is calm, in fact he is just brewing a louder cry that pushes you further to the brink of collapse.
So just a few days after the peaceful days passed, unexpected troubles came over.
"What, someone complaining that our healing potion is failing in large quantities?" When Auston heard someone complaining, he didn't react for a while, and he didn't even notice that the tea in the cup was poured on the ground.
Cizer also heard the news on the side, and he was going to ask Auston about something related to the alchemy workshop, but he didn't expect to hear such bad news.
"Yes! The problem was discovered by a marching merchant, who is now waiting for you!" replied the foreman, not bothering to wipe the sweat from his face.
The contact in the past two days also made him have a good impression of the two new young masters, one is resourceful and the other is skilled, why can't he continue to do the business of the workshop with such a young master?
So when today's incident happened, his heart was no less anxious than Cizer's.
It is not uncommon to be complained about, but the alchemy workshop has just begun, and if it leaves people with a handle, it will be very detrimental to the future development.
"Impossible! All potions are made according to the process, even if there are one or two failed bottles, it is impossible for one to happen to have so many! Is it possible that someone maliciously slandered us?" Auston's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he reacted immediately, this is definitely not a coincidence, but someone is deliberately manipulating them!
But the foreman in front of him shook his head and said, "No, I have checked." It's true that the problem is that the potion hasn't been opened, and it looks like any other normal product, but it just doesn't work inexplicably. ”
"How so?"
Cizer was also very puzzled, he had also seen the production of various products in the workshop, and the healing potion had a standardized operation process, and it was unlikely that this kind of problem would occur.
"It's true! Let's see for ourselves!" the foreman insisted on his opinion, and in terms of his qualifications, the credibility of his judgment was still very high.
Auston didn't care about any aristocratic gestures at this time, so he hurriedly walked out and directly found the person who came to complain.
Judging from his clothes, he should be an ordinary merchant, and his body is not strong, but a little fat. He had a sharp beard, and when he opened his mouth, he would reveal two large gold-encrusted teeth, especially one eye that was covered by an eye patch, making him look like a ghost.
Auston was about to ask what was the matter, but before he could speak, the one-eyed merchant cried out with tears in his eyes
"I'm a mother-in-law, but I bought all my net worth into your healing potion! I thought I could sell it and make a little hard money, but who would have thought of smashing it all in my hands! You must pay for this money! Otherwise, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to sue you!"
The one-eyed merchant first complained, and then he demanded compensation from them, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for twice the compensation.
"I've traveled a long way to find out about this problem! I've lost more than just potion money! I've hired a carriage and contacted an agent, and the time I've wasted is priceless!
Auston watched his botched performance coldly, and Cizer sensed something was wrong.
How dare a small merchant talk to an owner in charge of an alchemy workshop like this?
Even if there is a problem with the products of the alchemy workshop, most of the merchants will ask for compensation in a low voice, and this one in front of him can already be called a bully!
However, to Cezel's surprise, Alston readily agreed.
"Okay, I'll promise to give you double the compensation, and I'll go to my accountant in a moment to get it!"
"Thank you! Thank you! Young Master is such a cheerful man!" the one-eyed merchant was already happy at this time, and a pair of golden teeth were exposed with the grinning mouth, and the wrinkles on his face were also relaxed.
When he got the gold coin, he weighed it, and his smile became even brighter, and the old face was like a ball of dung pushed out by a beetle, so annoying.
It's just that the one-eyed businessman doesn't care what they think of him.
I saw him bend down and salute like Cizer, but I don't know if it was intentional, he only stopped halfway through, and made a jumbled gesture in his hand.
This is contempt for their status!
If someone treats a nobleman like this, then according to the imperial decree, it is not an exaggeration to beat him to death.
Cizer thought Auston would be furious, but he didn't expect him to endure it.
The One-Eyed Merchant's eyes watched Auston's expression until he was waved away by Auston, and then he left contentedly, smiling at Auston as he left.
Jeer!
Looking at his distant back, Auston's face seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud, Cizer had never seen Auston with such an expression, as if a thunderous anger was brewing.
"Let's go!"
Auston didn't stay here any longer, but picked up a few bottles of the potions that had been returned, and then took Cizer back to the alchemy laboratory behind.
"Hurry! Let's see what's wrong
If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, there will be more and more people like that guy just now!"
As soon as Auston closed the door, he anxiously urged Cezel, and his eyes seemed to burn with fire. The fan, which looked very precious, was also thrown aside by him at this time, and Cizer knew that he was really in a hurry.
"Good!"
Without saying a word, Cizer took the failed potion from Auston's hand and began to examine it.
Auston was not idle, and began to write and draw on the used paper on the table, and Cizer glanced casually and found that it was all the names of people he did not recognize.
Analyzing potions is a basic skill of an alchemist, so Cizer quickly completed the tests.
Raw ingredients, intact!
Impurity analysis, none!
Concentration test, not much different from the standard!
Cizer even took a sip of the diluted potion, and found that none of the substances in it were missing, but he did not feel the effect of the healing potion.
"How's it going?" Auston's eyes were red, like a beast that had chosen to devour people, and the next moment it would open its bloody mouth.
But all he got was a shake from Cizer.
"I've seen it, and I don't see anything wrong with these things, so let's go to the pharmacy and have a look, shall we?"
Without saying a word, Auston rushed to the pharmaceutical workshop with Cizer, and then the two of them checked together from the raw materials to the various processes, and found no problems.
The workers on the assembly line were trembling at this time, for fear that a little problem would be seen by their owners.
Cizer took another bottle of the finished product that had just been produced, and as soon as he drank it, he felt a warm current in his body.
He knew it was the magic of the healing potion at work.
"There is no problem with the assembly line, it seems that the problem is still in the batch of potions he brought. ”
Cizer said in a deep voice. This is the most troublesome situation, because judging from the fact that he has just arrived for the examination, the hidden problem must be buried very deeply, and if it is not discovered in time, then they will be in big trouble.
A sharp glint flashed across Auston's gloomy face, as if he had just made a great determination.
"Cezel, you continue to find problems here, I have a little thing to do, and I'll be back soon. ”
"Good!" Cizer didn't ask what it was, but put all his trust in him.
"Wait until I'll get back!"
Auston departes with the image of a warrior about to go on a journey, the afterglow of the setting sun as his mantle, and the fortitude and bravery as his sword.
When he sets foot on that unknown battlefield, all enemies will be terrified!
