Chapter 9: Honey Water

The return of the three immortals to the cave is just a small folk trick. Most people can understand it, but being able to understand it doesn't mean that they can play it clearly.

This thing relies on nothing more than a quick eye, which most people can't envy.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao, who was born in a family of medical Taoists, was required to train such techniques since he was a child out of strict requirements for surgery.

He has long been familiar with these games.

For Ye Xiao's words, Lotus nodded again and again.

Ye Xiao looked at Wang Da Hammer and said slowly: "Okay, no matter what, you always lose." Do you want me to take it off for you? ”

Wang Da Hammer covered his clothes with his hand, and immediately took a few steps back, seeing his sister and Ye Xiao looking at him aggressively, he hesitated for a long time and finally said: "I'm striking iron...... Hit what? You said! ”

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that this kid was finally a bit of a good way, and it was not in vain for him to spend all his time. With a slight groan, Ye Xiao said softly: "I want to build a few scalpels." ”

Wang Da Hammer was stunned, and said, "What knife?" ”

In this era, the medical conditions were backward, and the so-called surgery was nothing more than some serious injuries that required stitches and the like. Or to remove an extracorporeal cyst, to pick a corn, or something.

As for professional scalpels, no one has ever heard of them.

Wang Dazhui didn't know what the scalpel in Ye Xiao's mouth meant...... What is the difference between this scalpel and a pig-killing knife?

It took more than an hour, Ye Xiao's tongue, and writing and drawing on the paper, before finally explaining to Wang Dazhui the forging method of the scalpel.

"Ye Gongzi, I'm sorry, I can't forge this scalpel......" I understood, but the requirements for the forging process were too high.

In addition to listening to it for a while, Wang Dazhui is also quite self-aware.

Ye Xiao also sighed.

Even with modern forging technology, many factories can't make a knife of the same level as the scalpel.

For modern technology, materials and forging processes are secondary. The most difficult thing is the film that is applied to the blade after the knife is made...... Electroplating technology is a process that cannot be replicated in this era!

Of course, Ye Xiao also knew how difficult it was, and he didn't expect to be able to completely restore the sharpness and sterile plating technology of the postmodern scalpel.

I only hope that the scalpel forged by Wang Da Hammer can be similar to a postmodern scalpel in terms of appearance and sharpness.

"You just have to forge such a scalpel as I asked."

"Ye Gongzi, I'm afraid this won't work...... The forging process you mentioned, the hundred refining method, the stacking steel method, I have never heard of it at all. ”

Wang Dazhui was still waiting to explain, but the lotus flower on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and rushed up angrily and anxiously, and said eagerly: "Ye Gongzi said that if you can forge, you can forge, brother, what do you have to say?" Why don't you hurry up and make a fire and strike iron? ”

Ye Xiao also smiled and said, "As long as you do what I say, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

Wang Dazhui was still skeptical, and due to the expectations of Ye Xiao and his sister, the fire quickly rose after all. Pulling the bellows, I threw a few pieces of pig iron into the stove.

Forging is not something that can be done overnight, especially in this era.

Ye Xiao estimated that with the forging technique of Wang Dafei, if it was really forged after many processes as he said. To create the ideal set of scalpels, there is no ten days and half a month that cannot be completed.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao was not in a hurry, taking advantage of Wang Da Hammer's forging skills, he also sat next to him and gave a few words of guidance from time to time.

There has been no practice, but Ye Xiao, who came from modern society, is supported by a large amount of theoretical knowledge, and he guides Wang Da Hammer to strike iron, just like a master.

Taking advantage of Wang Da Hammer's kung fu to strike iron, Lotus also seemed extremely enthusiastic, brought a bowl of warm boiled water, and handed it to Ye Xiao: "Ye Gongzi, you taught my eldest brother to strike iron for so long a day, you must be very thirsty, drink saliva......"

Although Lotus and Wang Da Hammer are brother and sister, their personalities seem to be completely opposite.

Wang Dazhui is a big man and a coarse person, according to Ye Xiao, he is simple-minded and has developed limbs.

Lotus, on the other hand, is just the opposite, as if to make up for her brother's IQ deficiencies. Although he seemed weak, after getting along for so long, Ye Xiao found that Lotus seemed to know how to take care of people's feelings.

If this is put in modern times, it is the typical type of good wife...... How many people dream of marrying a traditional woman back home.

"Thank you."

Ye Xiao took the bowl of water, tested the temperature of the water, just the temperature of the entrance, and drank most of the bowl as soon as he opened his mouth.

As soon as the water entered the mouth, Ye Xiao's eyes immediately widened...... After swallowing it, he spoke: "This is ...... Honey? ”

"Ye Gongzi actually knows?" There was a burst of surprise on Lotus' face.

But after a moment, he was a little stunned: "Ye Gongzi said before that he was the uncle of the Guan family, and the Guan family is so rich, he must drink honey all day long." ”

When Ye Xiao heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

In modern society, honey is available almost everywhere, and the price is not too expensive, and most ordinary families can accept it.

Yes, in Ye Xiao's time, no one was unfamiliar with honey.

But in this era, limited by the difficulty of collecting honey, even a little honey is an extremely rare thing. That is the existence that only the princes and nobles can taste from time to time.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as priceless in the market!

Although Ye Xiao is now the uncle of the Guan family, he can't afford to drink honey all day long.

In the face of Lotus's self-pity, Ye Xiao didn't explain, but just turned around and asked, "How much honey do you have?" ”

"Not much...... What was just given to Ye Gongzi was a small half of it, and there was still ...... left Probably so much. ”

Lotus squeezed her fist and gestured slightly.

Ye Xiao nodded, and probably guessed it in his heart.

If it is a lot, Lotus only needs to take a few catties and sell it in the pharmacy and medical hall, which can be worth several dollars.

Or find a big family like the Guan family and the Zhang family to cooperate in sales for a long time, how can you still live so poorly?

In this era, there is no such thing as breeding bees to produce honey. Honey is obtained by the wild.

Wild bees are aggressive, and hives are often built on steep cliffs...... Those who collect honey not only face the attack of bees, but also the risk of difficult terrain.

Even a little bit of honey is bought at the cost of human life!

Ye Xiao didn't expect that Lotus would entertain himself with such precious honey, and he was a little moved.

"I'm not thirsty anymore, you can drink the rest."

Ye Xiao handed back the remaining half bowl of honey water, and said at the same time: "You can also keep the remaining honey, this thing is very precious, and it may be of great use in the future." ”

Lotus naturally knew the preciousness of honey, and nodded busily: "Ye Gongzi, I remember." ”

Honey has many effects, such as being used in medicine, as an ingredient, and as a sake brewing...... Even if this thing is put in modern times, in the era of rampant artificial breeding, a pound of pure honey will cost hundreds of dollars.

It's just that now Ye Xiao doesn't know what the little honey left in Lotus's hand can be used for, but let her keep it well, it will definitely be of great use in the future.

The rest of the honey water, Ye Xiao didn't drink it, and Lotus was even more reluctant to drink it.

Carefully put it aside, worried about dust, and covered it with a layer of gauze.

Seeing her so careful, Ye Xiao was also a little sad...... This is the case in this era, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too great.

The poor are so poor that they can't even afford to drink a mouthful of porridge, and the rich are so rich that they are so rich. But no matter how rich and rich you are, how to spend this money has become the key.

Ye Xiao has seen a sketch before, and one sentence in it is extremely classic: What is the most painful thing in life? That is, people are alive, and the money is gone.

What's even more painful than that is that people die, and money is not spent.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a thunderous voice in my ears: "Uncle, I can be regarded as finding you, hurry up and go back with the little one, something happened at home!" ”

The person who came turned out to be Ah Fu, an apprentice in Guan's Medical Center.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiao asked.

can let Ah Fu in the medical hall come out to find someone, it can be seen that the matter in Ah Fu's mouth is not small.

But Ah Fu only knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, opened his mouth, and said for a long time: "Uncle, you can go with me first, if it's too late, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"I'm just a waste uncle, what else do I need to solve?"

Ye Xiao smiled a little bitterly, but he didn't expect that he, a waste scum in the eyes of others, would also have a useful day.
