Chapter 17: The Thing That Replaces Comfrey

"It's me, don't worry, this is not the underworld, I'm not dead yet."

After that, Lan Chen also let go of his hand, his face full of apologies, "I just saw that you were scared and fainted, and I had to be like this in a hurry, how offended." ”

Sun Miaomiao waved her hand, not caring at all.

But the worry on her face did not diminish in the slightest, and she asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" There is news that you were attacked and killed, and the house is full of white cloth. ”

"Here's the thing......"

In desperation, Lan Chen had to explain the matter about the gambling house and the Xianfeng Office again.

"......I see," Sun Miaomiao sighed and said, "I didn't think so many things had happened, you suffered." But then, everything is settled? ”

"Yes. I got the deed back. ”

"Congratulations on that. But this joke is a bit big. Sun Miaomiao showed a self-deprecation of rebirth after the catastrophe, "I was so scared that I thought ...... I don't see the new strange script anymore. ”

"Just because of the script?" Lan Chen quipped.

"Bosom friends are hard to find, and the treble is flowing. If you go, there will be a lot of fun in this world, and my heart will be sad for a long time. ”

After saying that, Sun Miaomiao lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Lan Chen.

Feeling the atmosphere in the air, Lan Chen had no choice but to laugh, "Life is a long road, and you can go, but you can ask for a soulmate." After the deed is redeemed, I will try to write a few scripts. ”

"Then wait for the good news, it's not too early, say goodbye first."

"I can't send it if I go slowly."

In this way, under the bright silver moonlight, Lan Chen watched Sun Miaomiao, who was returning to the carriage, until the carriage left the street.

He turned around and went back to the mansion.

When things were done and the mansion returned to its original appearance, he felt too tired to do it.

There are so many things today that make his heart tired, but the faint warmth he feels in it is also very fulfilling.

After a deep sleep, a new day comes.

Pushing open the door, the light stood up, reflecting on the dead trees in the courtyard with a sense of new sprouts, and everything seemed to have been purified and finally reborn.

"Zhu Laosan, prepare meals!"

"Young master, please."

Zhu Laosan, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him, he only felt that the sun was brighter today than before, and his good mood was also written with a smile on his face.

"Where's Xiao Zhou?"

Zhu Laosan was ashamed and said, "Young master, this morning she said that she had some personal matters to deal with, and she would return before the sun set, and I asked her to wait, but she was in a hurry to leave, so I also let her go." ”

"It's fine. Did you pester her with a little bit? ”

"Yes."

"That's good. If there is such a thing in the future, you don't need to report it to me, you can just watch and do it. ”

After a simple meal, Lan Chen also left.

The anxiety has been solved, but it is also a long day of leisure.

So, Lan Chen walked in Xuzhou, wandering all the way, and finally came to the dye workshop-Yan Fang.

The empty workshop was covered with ash, the edges were covered with cobwebs, and the withered air ran straight to the nose.

After a while, a voice came from the attic, and with a bang, a figure ran down,

"Who! Kindness? Isn't this a young master? What are you doing here!? ”

The second boss of Yan Fang, Lao Zhang, has dark skin and white scars everywhere, which should be a work injury caused by soaking in dyes all year round.

Lan Chen nodded, "It's been a long time, Lao Zhang." I won't beat around the bush, I want to revitalize Yanfang. ”

His eyes sank and brightened up instantly, Lao Zhang stretched out his trembling hand, and said in surprise, "Young Master? This...... Is this true? ”

"Lao Zhang, you should also know what happened to my father. But don't worry, the Blue Mansion still has me. ”

Lao Zhang was stunned, opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time, he only felt that the young master in front of him was strange.

"So let's talk about it." Lan Chen looked around and looked around, "What's the situation with this workshop?" What is the reason why it can't be done? ”

"Well, it's a long story."

Lao Zhang reluctantly explained.

It turns out that the dye that Yan Fang is proud of is 'purple', which is mysterious and noble.

It was even once a 'tribute' for the royal family, and the Blue Mansion gathered a lot of wealth as a result.

But now Yanfang can no longer produce satisfactory purple dyes, and other colors are not as good as other workshops due to their late involvement, cost and finished products are not as good as those of other workshops, and they are gradually declining.

"This purple is harvested from the roots of comfrey, and it is extremely difficult to dye, to say the least, it has to be bleached and dyed more than a dozen times before it can be successfully colored. Comfrey is inherently difficult to cultivate, and it has become increasingly rare in the wild due to the hot weather in recent years. ”

Lao Zhang was like a lonely old man who looked helplessly at the passing of the country, "Alas, but even if there is comfrey, it has to be bleached and dyed in a not too hot environment, this God is simply against us!" ”

Lan Chen narrowed his eyes, his mind racing rapidly, "Is it only comfrey that can dye purple?" ”

"Yes."

"Yes, I see. If we can find a substitute for 'comfrey', will Yanfang be able to make a comeback? ”

"That's for sure! If nothing else, as long as we can still produce it, even if it's only half of the previous condition, I can find a buyer right away! ”

"I'll go out and inquire and see if there's anything that can replace 'comfrey'." With that, Lan Chen turned around and left.

Looking at Lan Chen's departing figure, Lao Zhang shook his head helplessly, "I have inquired countless times, and how many ancient books have been broken, no, no, all of them." ”

"Alas, forget it, now that the young master has this heart, why can't he do it. If you ...... lord"

After leaving Yan Fang, Lan Chen immediately whispered, "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang...... Memory! ”

Brake time.

He only felt like his heart was like a mirror, and many impressions in his mind were three-dimensional.

He kept flipping through the bits and pieces that appeared in his memory, trying to find something alternative from modern knowledge.

Can...... In vain.

Lan Chen muttered to himself helplessly, "There are still some ambiguities, is the realm insufficient?" Case...... Then sacrifice it! ”

The only one or two pieces of silver left naturally can't break through the realm, but it also improves the power of the next time you use the miracle energy.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, remember!"

More surging than usual, clear and clear, if it used to be a flip book, but now it is vividly appearing in front of you.

Eventually, he found them in his memory.

[It just so happens that there is a sea in Xuzhou, go see if there is anything that can replace the 'purple grass'! ] 】

Soon, he was on the beach.

Long coastline, a few small fishing boats, a few fishermen.

The sea breeze caresses and brings a touch of saltiness, but also the taste of money.

Because the beach is full of Lan Chen's purpose for this trip - bone snails.
