Chapter 38: Immortality
The next day, it was just dawn.
Li Changjing opened the door with a tired face, took a small bench, and sat at the door.
Lin Duoduo carried a small schoolbag, gnawed a meat bun in his mouth, and carried a bag in his hand, and rushed into the yard like a gust of wind.
"Brother Jing, my mother bought you breakfast." Lin Duoduo came to the front and handed the bag to Li Changjing, he opened it and found that it was a wick cake in a lunch box and a cup of soy milk.
"Brother Jing, I'm going to school, you remember to miss me." The little kid faced the morning fog, jumped out of the yard, and at the gate of the yard, Lin Jia stood far away, beckoned to him, and said with his mouth: See you later.
Li Changjing had a bright smile, sat on the bench, eating the fragrant and soft wick cake shaped with chopsticks, and felt that the fatigue on his body receded like a tide for a while.
Yesterday, after sending Liu Qingtan away, Li Changjing locked himself in his room and began to immerse himself in refining pills.
Originally, Li Changjing thought that in the process of refining, there would be twists and turns and difficulties, but who expected that with the help of that cluster of flames, it would be unusually smooth.
The flames were able to completely incinerate the exterior of the herb in an instant, leaving only a small semi-liquid substance, which contained all the essence of an entire herb.
After the essence is extracted, the remaining process is to fuse the essence of various medicinal materials together according to the amount, and then slowly roll and bake it in a long distance through the flame, and after the liquid medicine solidifies, it becomes a round pill the size of a finger.
After breakfast, Li Changjing returned to the room, and the silver-white medicine box on the ground was empty, and dozens of catties of medicinal materials in it had been refined by him.
Of course, there are also many examples of failures in the refining process, such as when fusing them, the amount of various medicinal liquids is not well controlled, resulting in the medicinal power of the elixir being out of balance and becoming a semi-finished product.
Li Changjing is very strict with himself, and the semi-finished product is already a failure for him, but although there are many failures, there are also many successes. He picked up the seven small porcelain bottles on the side of the bed, which contained the seven kinds of pills that Liu Qingtan said, each of which was about 10, and he had already examined them in detail, each of them was round and jade, with good color and medicinal balance, reaching a very good level.
Li Changjing is a contented person, and he is already very satisfied with the results of these days and nights of hard work. What's more, this was the first time he had refined an elixir.
However, the only thing that made him feel helpless was that when controlling the flames, the loss of energy was very serious, with Li Changjing's energy, controlling the flames for five or six hours, and he was still at ease, but after ten hours, he was powerless, so most of those semi-finished products failed when he was exhausted, otherwise there would be more successful pills.
It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but after this first experience, Li Changjing can already believe that in the future, his efficiency will definitely get higher and higher, and his work will get better and better!
At noon, Liu Qingtan, who had made an appointment, came over on time, and Li Changjing took a nap because he was a little tired, and he had recovered his spirit at this time.
After Liu Qingtan entered the door, he saw the empty medicine box on the ground at a glance, and then saw a bunch of small white bottles on the table next to him, and said in shock: "You...... You finished refining all the medicinal herbs in one night? That's a month's worth of food I've prepared for you! ”
Li Changjing poured her a glass of water and said in surprise: "It's only a month like this?" I thought it would be three days at most. ”
Liu Qingtan knew that this little bastard would always do something unexpected, and he didn't bother to raise the bar with him, so he couldn't wait to open one of the porcelain bottles, and with a gentle pour, four or five round and crystal clear white pills immediately rolled into her white and tender palm.
Liu Qingtan sniffed it closely, and said in surprise: "It's so fragrant!" This should be Tongtianxiao, I went to the Xu family Dengxian Pavilion to buy this medicine before, and it is far from such a strong fragrance, and you look much better than Dengxian Pavilion, round, like a pure glass ball. ”
Li Changjing's face was calm, and he didn't have any reaction full of accomplishment, these medicines can be said to be used by him to practice his hands, and he was not particularly serious, if he really wanted to work hard, the results would definitely be better.
Liu Qingtan checked the medicine in the bottle one by one, and the whole person was already excited, she looked Li Changjing up and down, and said: "Can't you see it, you are not only a master, but also can refine medicine, this is even more of a master among masters." Tell me honestly, how do you refine medicine, Ding? ”
Li Changjing didn't know why, "What Ding?" ”
"Don't you use Ding to refine medicine?" Liu Qingtan looked shocked, and gestured a circle with his hand, "It's the Ding Furnace, the Ding Furnace used for refining medicine, it has two ears, just like the kind of incense in the temple." ”
Li Changjing was a little crying and laughing, "You should be acting in a TV series." ”
Liu Qingtan saw that he didn't want to say it, and he didn't force it, who hasn't had a secret? She has a lot of it herself.
"These medicines, I'm going to take them back to the lady later, and after she thinks it's okay, I'll send them to the drug test, and if the drug test is okay, it's ready for mass production." Liu Qingtan packed the seven bottles in a skin, and said to Li Changjing: "You refine medicine alone, can you afford to eat, do you want me to let Miss send someone to help you?" ”
Li Changjing shook his head, refining medicine is not difficult, not to mention that the flame is his biggest secret so far, and no one can tell it.
"By the way, Lin Jia just quit her job, I plan to call her to the shop to help, you have no opinion, right?"
Liu Qingtan was in a good mood, carefully holding the leather bag, and said indifferently: "You are the boss, you have the final say." But as the store's treasurer, the million can only be used for you if it is profitable, so you don't want to spend it lavishly now. ”
Li Changjing nodded, "Got it." ”
————
I have to say that the Huo family is very efficient, and those pills were sent for drug testing at noon, and the results were available in the afternoon.
Liu Qingtan personally sent the document over, and after Li Changjing read it, he found that it had been stamped with the official seal of the relevant department, and commented that the medicinal properties of the seven kinds of pills were completely qualified, and there was no harm to the human body, and they were approved for marketing.
The document also contained a copy of Huo Qingrou's comments on the quality of those pills, and only two words were written in Juanxiu's font: excellent.
The next day, at Li Changjing's request, Huo Qingrou sent more than three times the amount of medicine in the previous box to the courtyard, so Li Changjing stayed at home for the next three days, only meditating on medicine.
A week later, downstairs in Wanhe Center, in a newly renovated shop, three salesmen, including Lin Jia, were holding a long ribbon at the door, which was gently cut by Huo Qingrou, who was there in person, with scissors.
After the ribbon cutting, there were three circles of bright red firecrackers in the open space outside the store, and the young man who had just turned 20 years old took an incense stick to light the fuse, and with the deafening sound of firecrackers, a door plaque carved with three vigorous characters of "Grant Longevity" was slowly hung directly above the door.
Daye City, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the town.
In this foreign country, young people who have grown up with hardships all the way stand behind the counter with a bright smile.
This was the first shop in his life.
