Chapter 21 Testing

"A bucket of rice costs eighty yuan, and the price of this rice can rise really fast."

In a rice shop in Xinglongfang, Chen Xuan bought a stone of rice and carried it home.

The Wanzhou rebellion has been two months now, and the Wanzhou garrison has been borrowing troops and food, but the situation has not improved.

Now there are not only the righteous army, but also the Wanzhou Green Forest Chief Scoop Handle, the Eighteenth Road Xiangma Chief Scoop Commander and the Seventy-two Waterway Wharf Chief Scoop Handles have united together to form a Koutian Sect, and the Koutian Rebellion Army burns and plunders everywhere.

Even, there was a Koutian rebel army rushed to Yishui County, Yuanzhou, broke through a county seat, and looted all the wealth.

In addition to Yishui County in Yuanzhou, the rest of the neighboring states were also plundered by the Koutian Rebellion Army, and were affected by the Koutian Rebellion, and the bandits in these states were also restless, and they joined the Koutian Rebellion Army one after another, disturbing the world.

Although Yuanzhou is no longer lending grain to Wanzhou, prices in Yuanzhou are still soaring.

In September, a bucket of rice was still 25 yuan, but now it has risen to 80 yuan.

Vegetables and meat have also risen several times.

In the past, ordinary people could occasionally eat meat.

But now, pork has risen to 100 wen a catty, and it has even been out of stock several times.

Those few times the stock was out because the cattle dealer was robbed by bandits.

Recently, Chen Xuan didn't dare to go hunting outside the city, for fear of encountering bandits outside the city.

Outside the city is not peaceful now, not only cattle dealers, but also some powerful trading houses, all encountered robbers, and their goods were robbed.

Some of the children of the family who went to hunt in the hunting grounds outside the city also died under the knife of the robbers.

In the waterway of the Canglan River, I heard that there are also water bandits active.

"Qingshui County is also a little messy!"

Chen Xuan sighed.

After buying rice, he went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of meat.

He had just made a windfall, and he had received more than three hundred taels of silver from Doctor Wang and Huiyuan Medical Center, so he had that money to stock up on more meat, and if he couldn't finish eating, he could dry it into jerky.

In these troubled times, there is nothing wrong with hoarding more grain.

Ordinary people can only buy more rice, flour, wild vegetables and other things.

"If you have time, learn to swim more and improve your water skills."

Chen Xuan said secretly in his heart.

Although the Koutian Rebellion Army may not necessarily hit Qingshui County, it is also necessary to improve the water quality in case of emergency.

If his swimming skills improve, he will be able to hold his breath underwater for a longer time.

At some point, you can hide underwater to avoid danger.

After a lot of purchases, Chen Xuan came to the pharmacy to buy the medicinal materials needed to refine the secret medicine of dermabrasion.

Of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, he bought them all in batches, and in addition to the medicinal materials needed for the secret medicine of dermabrasion, he also bought several other medicinal materials mixed in with them.

"Have you heard, Doctor Wang of Huiyuan Medical Center is blind."

"Doctor Wang's eyes are blind, what's going on, how can a good person be blind."

"I don't know, anyway, I heard that the people at Huiyuan Medical Center said that Dr. Wang lived in Huiyuan Medical Center yesterday, and when he got up this morning, he couldn't see it, and many people saw it when he went back."

"In this way, Wang Liming is really blind."

"God really has eyes, my father-in-law didn't agree to join the Huiyuan Medical Center at the beginning, but he was plotted on the way back from practicing medicine, and he was blinded, and the government caught a gangster and closed the case hastily, but I know that this was done by Wang Liming, a dog thing."

"Okay, great, Wang Liming, this dog thing has finally suffered retribution today."

“……”

Back in Changningfang, Chen Xuan heard someone talking about Doctor Wang.

Dr. Wang's full name is Wang Liming.

Some people are in the mentality of watching the play, and some people are scolding Wang Liming.

"It seems that this Doctor Wang's character in Changningfang is not very good."

Hearing that many people were scolding Doctor Wang, Chen Xuan knew that the people of Changningfang did not like Doctor Wang, but they were afraid of the power that Doctor Wang had, so they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

But now that Dr. Wang is blind, everyone feels happy.

When he returned home, Chen Xuan opened all the packets of medicinal materials he bought, picked out all the medicinal materials of the secret medicine for dermabrasion, and then put them in a casserole and began to boil the medicine.

At the beginning, Chen Xuanfang's medicinal materials were all in the same dose.

"Gooo......"

As the fire boiled, so did the medicine in the casserole.

"Almost."

Seeing that the medicinal soup inside was almost dry, Chen Xuan picked up the casserole and poured out the medicinal soup.

Because the secret medicine of dermabrasion is applied externally, you have to wait for the medicinal soup to cool down.

Half an hour later, the soup cooled down.

"It's so hard!"

Chen Xuan poured out the medicinal soup in the bowl, but at this time, it was condensed into a piece, as hard as a stone.

"It's a big difference!"

Looking at the black block in front of him, which was as hard as a stone, Chen Xuan knew that he had failed.

The microdermabrasion was a black paste like ointment, and the secret medicine he refined was so hard that it could not be applied to the skin for the body to absorb after cooling.

"It's not a big problem, it's normal to fail the first time."

Although the secret medicine that had been refined could not be used, Chen Xuan still saw that the proficiency of the medicinal technique had increased by '1' points, and knew why the medicinal soup was so hard after it cooled down.

That's because there is too much of one of the herbs called 'Yixin Cao'.

The next time I refined, I had to put a little less of this flavor of 'Yixin grass'.

As long as he continues to experiment and correct, Chen Xuan believes that it will not take long to master the 'dose' and 'heat' in it, and refine the real microdermabrasion secret medicine.

Pouring out the medicine residue in the casserole, Chen Xuan continued to boil the medicine.
