Chapter 49: Pharmacy and Adoption
In a blink of an eye, it's half a month again!
In the past half a month, the dumpling business is still booming!
And after a little free time for a while, Li Kuan also ushered in a busy moment--- the elixir is about to become!
He took a total of six pills from Slug.
However, the first time, he had no experience and was afraid of failure, so he only refined three pots.
Moreover, these three pots are not refined together!
In order to have enough time to deal with the unexpected, he staggered the time of the three cauldrons by two hours.
Now it's just the first pot of elixir that has been refined, and two hours later, four hours later, there will be another pot of each!
Attic!
"Gollum!"
Looking at the boiling elixir in the crucible, Li Kuan pinched the last ingredient needed for the elixir in his hand, and his heart gradually rose!
It's a matter of success or failure.
"This is the time!"
Li Kuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and with a shake of his hand, a handful of powder was accurately thrown into the boiling crucible by him.
Next second!
"Bang!"
With a slight explosion, a cloud of blue and green smoke emerged from the cauldron!
"Ahem~"
Immediately, a pungent smell penetrated Li Kuan's nostrils, making him cough lightly!
In the midst of a light cough, Li Kuan fanned it in front of his hand to disperse some of the smoke, and hurriedly looked into the crucible!
"It's done!"
When he saw the amber-like potion in the crucible, Li Kuan's face was full of joy!
Unexpectedly, he would refine it as soon as he refined it!
However, after being happy, Li Kuan packed the potion and nervously turned his gaze to the two boiling crucibles next to him.
There are still two pairs of elixirs being refined over there!
After that, Li Kuan kept staring at the two pots of elixir that were still being refined!
However...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With two slight explosions two hours apart, both elixirs finally failed!
Li Kuan couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "Failed? ”
Since it was the first time to refine, the techniques used by the three pairs of medicines were exactly the same.
But now the first pair has succeeded, and the last two have failed, which makes him a little puzzled!
"Wait, the technique is the same, but the materials are different!"
After reviewing the process of refining the elixir in his mind, Li Kuan suddenly thought of the reason!
He uses pre-medication!
What is Pre-Pharmaceutical?
It's a group of wizards who are not high enough to refine the elixir and retreat to the second!
In this case, the quality of the medicine itself is worrying--- if you can refine it with high quality, you will already refine the elixir by yourself, so why sell pre-medicine?
Moreover, he had also checked before that none of the six pairs of pre-pots were made by a wizard, which led to the uneven quality of the six pairs of materials themselves, some of which were better and some of which were bad.
The difference is subtle, but it's enough to affect the result!
Therefore, even if he used the same method to refine it, there was no way to refine it all!
"It seems... In the future, if you want to refine the elixir, you still have to refine the materials yourself! Li Kuan thought secretly in his heart.
Pre-medication is fast, but it's nothing but fast!
Moreover, in terms of the quality of the pre-medicine, if Li Kuan wanted to refine the high-grade Blessing Elixir, he would definitely not be able to!
After all, pre-pharmaceuticals are inherently of low quality.
Thinking of this, Li Kuan took a deep breath and began to clean up the mess in front of him!
And after packing up the things, he didn't immediately start the next refining, but left the attic and went to rest first!
Refining potions is a very energy-consuming thing, if you don't adjust your state and start refining rashly, then there is only one end, failure!
---
Early the next morning!
"What !!"
Li Kuan's exclamation resounded throughout the orphanage.
He looked at the staff in front of him with some incredulity, and said, "Aunt Mary, you said... Someone wants to adopt me? ”
It's normal for someone from an orphanage to come and adopt a child!
But under normal circumstances, the adopter does not specify which child, but asks all the orphans to stand up together and choose a more eye-catching one!
And now, the staff told him that someone designated to adopt him, which made Li Kuan a little strange!
"It's a blonde gentleman who looks quite rich, and he said that the last time he passed by the orphanage, he saw you reading, thought you were very good, and wanted to adopt you!"
Mary smiled and rubbed Li Kuan's head and said, "Little guy, you're lucky!" With such a rich family, you will definitely live a very comfortable life in the future! ”
Lucky?
Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "That's not necessarily!" ”
Why did he go to an orphanage?
In addition to mixing identities, it is also because the management of the orphanage is relatively relaxed, and he can wave at will!
If he really wants people to adopt, then how can he waste casually?
Thinking about it, Li Kuan didn't directly refuse, but was ready to go over and have a look!
The so-called Mr. Blonde is very suspicious!
---
Soon!
Under the leadership of Aunt Mary, Li Kuan came to the dean's office!
As soon as he entered the door, Li Kuan saw the so-called Mr. Blonde!
With a big back, a suit, leather shoes, and gold-wire glasses, he looks like a British nobleman.
"Little one, it's nice to meet you, my name is Edward, Edward. Smith! ”
After seeing Li Kuan come in, Edward left his seat, squatted down to look at him with a gentle smile on his face, and said hello with a smile!
What kind of umbrella boss is this little ghost?
Such a thought flashed through Edward's mind, and he secretly wondered, "It looks like they are only three or four years old, the eldest of these orphanage imps is already more than ten years old, and they would let such a little kid be the boss?" It's really the world's bigest, and there are no surprises! ”
"This man has bad intentions!"
And Li Kuan looked at Edward in front of him. Smith secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
Although Edward. Smith's smile was kind and gentle, but he felt a chilling malice in this smile, as if the man in front of him had some purpose for him!
"Hello!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Kuan's eyes, but on the surface, he pretended to be timid and said hello!
"Little one, will you come with me? Uncle is very rich and can buy you a lot of delicious and fun food! Edward said in a demagogic tone.
Li Kuan asked tentatively, "Very rich?" What does my uncle do? ”
Edward said without changing his face, "Uncle is a flour seller!" ”
Selling flour?
Li Kuan glanced at Edward and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
He didn't believe Edward's words at all!
Thinking about it, Li Kuan pretended to be innocent and asked, "Selling flour?" I've seen an uncle who sells flour, and he doesn't seem to be like this, right? He's dirty all day long, and he's covered in powder! ”
"Uncle runs a flour mill, so he doesn't have to sell it himself, so he won't get dirty!" Edward patiently explained.
"Oh!"
Li Kuan pretended to be abrupt, and asked again, "Does that uncle smoke?" ”
???
This is a little inexplicable for Edward!
One second he was still asking about the flour mill, and the next second he was asking about whether he smoked or not?
However, considering that Li Kuan is a child, children's thinking is usually whimsical and confusing, so he didn't think much about it, and replied directly, "Pump!" ”
"Is that uncle smoking at home?" Li Kuan pretended to be innocent and asked again.
"Uh..."
Edward is still a little baffled!
But considering that children's thinking is wild, he still replied, "Pump! ”
"Smoke in the hospital?"
"Pump!"
"Smoke it at a restaurant?"
"Pump!"
"Smoke in the square?"
"Pump!"
"Smoke at the flour mill?"
"Pump!"
Listening to the last answer, a gleam flashed in Li Kuan's eyes, and he suddenly determined that the person in front of him was not a flour mill at all!
Why is he so sure?
The reason is simple!
No matter where all the flour mills in the world are located, there is basically an iron rule!
That is, no fire is allowed in the venue!
Why?
Because the flour in the flour mill is in the form of dust, once it encounters an open flame, it may cause an explosion, and even if it does not explode, once the flour as a combustible material encounters an open flame, it is likely to cause a fire incident!
If Edward really sold flour and ran a flour mill, there was no way he wouldn't know this, and he would certainly not say that he smoked in a flour mill!
You know, the world's most famous dust explosion occurred in a flour mill, in England, and it was only a short period of more than 40 years!
"Uncle, do you know about the dust explosion?" Li Kuan looked at the man in front of him and asked faintly.
Hearing this, Edward raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that something was wrong!
However, he didn't understand that he had been exposed, so he still shook his head and responded with a smile, "I don't know, it's okay for you to tell your uncle!" ”
This is...
Give me the knife?!
"Okay!"
Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile!
