In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
This is Su Chen's third New Year in this world.
this day.
As usual, Su Chen got up to wash, then went to the next room to set up the stove and boiled a pot of millet porridge by himself.
Because breakfast is not provided in the palace room.
And as a modern person, he always feels uncomfortable when he doesn't eat anything in the morning, and the conditions in the past few years did not allow it, so he could only endure it and eat some sunflower seeds or dry food.
Now Kwai Yuan is alone, and no one comes on weekdays, so it doesn't hurt to cook something to eat.
After eating, get up and go out.
On the street outside, you can hear the sound of ceremonial music, waving flags, and crowding cars and horses, which should be the royal family's procession to worship the emperor's ancestors.
The royal family of Dachu still attaches great importance to filial piety, so there are special ancestor worship ceremonies during the New Year's holidays.
Su Chen didn't bother to pay attention, came to the courtyard, began to stretch his limbs, and played a set of Taizu long punches.
Although he is now majoring in Tiangang Tongzigong, he has not relaxed his fist and foot practice.
The main growth of Tiangang Tongzigong is strength, boiling internal force, this fist and foot kung fu can not fall, this is the actual combat skills.
"Tick-"
A shrill cry was heard.
Immediately after, a bright bolt of lightning flew down, and its wings rolled up the frost and snow, and then landed steadily in the courtyard.
It is the Hai Dongqing raised by the eldest princess.
Although the eldest princess doesn't live here anymore, for some reason, this guy still flies here occasionally to beg for sunflower seeds.
Su Chen didn't annoy it either.
In this deep palace, it is rare to have a relieving of boredom, and sometimes, birds and beasts are more trustworthy than people.
Therefore, whenever Hai Dongqing flies over, Su Chen will generously take out sunflower seeds and invite it to a full meal.
This beast seems to be quite spiritual, and after going back and forth like this a few times, every time he comes back, he will bring Su Chen something strange as a reward.
It's a courtesy.
Among these things, there are half-eaten fish bones, and there are strange-looking ordinary stones, but occasionally there are valuable things.
For example, a few days ago, this Hai Dongqing brought a piece of gold the size of a pigeon's egg.
Su Chen didn't know where he got it from, but he was short of money now, so he accepted it, and then handed it to Xiao Linzi and asked him to help him purchase some things.
"Yo, you're out hunting today? I actually brought a rabbit with me, and it looks quite fat. ”
Looking at the hare in Hai Dongqing's mouth, Su Chen laughed.
Looks like we'll be able to add dinner tonight.
"Tick!"
Hai Dongqing raised his neck, seemed to be very proud, and then scratched a few times on the snow with his paws, indicating that he should stop talking nonsense and hurry up to give melon seeds to the master!
"Okay, wait. Today's New Year, let you eat enough! ”
Su Chen picked up the bloody rabbit and threw it into the next room, then went to the warehouse and filled a pot full of sunflower seeds in a wooden basin.
"These sunflower seeds have been sitting for a while, and they are a little damp, so let's eat them. When spring begins next year, I will grow more so that I can eat fresh sunflower seeds. ”
"Tick-"
Hai Dongqing tilted his head, didn't care what he said, and began to bury his head in cooking happily.
Su Chen didn't care about it either.
I got up and went to the library building, and after a brief cleaning, I came to the area where the medical medicine scriptures were stored.
Ever since he broke through the Blood Exchange Realm, he had already begun to try forging bones.
However, bone forging cultivation is more difficult than changing blood.
Relying on martial arts cultivation alone, progress is very slow, and even if it is a high-level martial art like Tiangang Tongzigong, it is difficult for the internal force to penetrate directly into the bones.
At this time, it is necessary to soak in a special bone-forging liquid, together with Zuogui wine, to help both inside and outside in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
Fortunately, before his father-in-law Li died, he left some prescriptions for him.
This includes this bone-forging potion.
So after Su Chen got the gold sent by Hai Dongqing, he directly handed it over to Lin Fan and asked him to purchase some medicinal materials.
At the same time, I am not idle, I am reading medical books these days, mainly to better understand the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, and to prepare for the preparation of medicinal liquids in the future.
"Ginseng has a sweet taste, greatly replenishes vitality, relieves cough and rejuvenates health, and regulates glory and health...... Astragalus is warm, sweats and solidifies the surface, supports sores and muscles, and qi deficiency is not less......"
Holding the medical book in his hand, he didn't feel the passage of time.
It wasn't until noon that the bell rang outside the door, and Su Chen put down his books and came out.
Xiao Linzi pushed the cart, looked around at no one, and then handed over the food box and a package.
He said in a low voice: "I got all the medicinal materials you wanted." I have some silver left, and I'll bring it back to you in the evening......"
"Forget the silver, let you go, it should be my money for extra meals."
Su Chen said, opened the package and looked at it, there was no shortage of medicinal materials he needed, and the quality was not bad, it was estimated that it was made from the inner library, of course he was satisfied.
Before, for the sake of safety, he deliberately mixed the bone forging liquid with the ingredients in several other prescriptions, so as to avoid being seen by others, or prostituting the medicine.
Therefore, this package of medicinal herbs is actually worth a lot of money.
After the gold is spent, it is estimated that there is not much left, so simply be generous, and it will be regarded as hard work.
After all, the other party is also responsible for this kind of private transaction.
"Okay! Brother is bright, and I won't shirk it. Today's New Year, I have to be busy for a while, go first, and come back to you in the evening......"
After speaking, Xiao Linzi pushed the cart and left in a hurry.
Su Chen closed the courtyard door, returned to the room, ate briefly, drank two sips of wine, and then took out the medicinal herbs separately and put them on the table.
First, according to the type of medicine required, classify it.
"These medicinal herbs can almost prepare ten parts of the Bone Forging Liquid, which is enough for me to use for a while. The rest of these can be used to prepare some golden medicine for healing, as well as several poison powders for self-defense......"
After making the corresponding preparations, Su Chen took the medicine mortar and other tools from the room.
These medicinal liquids and powders are relatively simple to configure, as long as they are prepared according to the formula and in strict accordance with the proportional amount, they are far less cumbersome than the alchemy of immortal cultivators.
Therefore, it only took Su Chen an afternoon to complete the deployment of these things.
Then the medicine jar and ceramic bottle are packed and stored separately, so that when you need to use it, you can take it out directly.
After doing these things, it was already dark.
The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and fireworks bloom over the imperial city.
This is the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the royal family attaches great importance to it, so they take out the fireworks purchased with a lot of money.
For a time, the fireworks were brilliant, and the entire imperial city was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
"Su Chen, come out and help, there are too many things, I can't carry them......"
