Wang Decai said Okay, okay, give face, don't be like this, quickly take out the letter and see if it's my brother's.

Zhao Chuan didn't speak, but the man hurriedly asked, "Have you ever read that letter?" ”

Zhao Chuan said, of course I have read it, if I don't read it, how can I know that it is not an ordinary family letter? Why, I can't read the letter that I picked up? It doesn't have to be that you lost it.

Wang Decai persuaded Zhao Chuan not to be angry, saying that the old man was a martial artist with a straight temperament, so if he picked it up, he would take it out and take a look.

Zhao Chuan said that this letter can't be shown to you directly, I want to make sure if it's your talent for you, you can first say what words and language are in this letter, or what it is.

The man was so impatient, he lost the letter because he was impatient, but he just didn't want to say the content of the letter.

Zhao Chuan said so, there is a place, as long as you say that you haven't been there in the past few days.

"Where?" The man asked.

"Coffin shop!"

Wang Decai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and hurriedly said, "I've been there!" I've been there with me, but the coffin shop has even been drilled into the coffin, haha! ”

Zhao Chuan said that this letter was picked up in the coffin, and it seems that it is really yours.

Zhao Chuan said and took out the letter.

The man read the letter, nodded his head and said yes, let out a long breath, and then sat silent, looking like he was thinking about something.

Zhao Chuanxin said that this person has no cultivation, and he picked up the letter and returned it to him, and he didn't know how to thank him, he looked like he was in his fifties, and he had grown up for so many years.

Half an hour later, Da Mao came back and said to Zhao Chuan that the place was not easy to find, the rented places were all miscellaneous courtyards, the town was originally small, and the yards of single-door single-family households could not be found.

Wang Decai said don't look for it, there is a large field two or three miles away from my shop, it turned out to be my family's herb planting land, my father is not there to hire someone to plant and manage it, there are a few grass houses where the gardeners live, and the living utensils are complete. Can you go and see it?

Zhao Chuan asked Da Mao to go over and take a look.

There was not much time, Da Mao came back and said that it was okay, the place was close to a small hill, there were mountains and water, and there was a large bamboo forest.

Then go ahead.

Zhao Chuan asked Da Mao to go to the street to buy some daily necessities, some rice, grain and oil, and stayed in the herb plantation for the time being.

"Master, am I going to learn alchemy from you?" Da Mao asked.

Zhao Chuan said don't call me master, I'm not even seventeen years old, am I that old? I feel old when I shout every day.

What did Da Mao say?

Zhao Chuan said that anything is fine, just don't call me master anymore.

Da Mao said that you are called young master, right?

Zhao Chuan said Okay, secretly said that your guy's name is a generation less than just now.

The preparation before alchemy is very complicated.

Zhao Chuan began to teach Da Mao to identify medicinal materials first: first of all, you must identify the five elements of medicinal herbs, otherwise it will be troublesome if you put the wrong ingredients in the ingredients.

The easiest way to identify the five elements of a herb is by taste. The taste of the herb is different, and the five elements are different, with the exception of a few herbs.

The five elements of sour herbs belong to gold, the five elements of herbs with bitter taste belong to water, the five elements of herbs that are salty belong to fire, the five elements of herbs with sweet taste belong to earth, and the five elements of herbs with pungent chong belong to wood, which is a rough way to distinguish them.

However, this method is also very dangerous, if you accidentally taste poisonous weeds such as broken intestine grass or turtle, you will be poisoned and fall to the ground immediately. So those poisonous herbs are recognized in advance.

Fortunately, Da Mao had also worked as a buddy in a pharmacy for a few days before, and the human brain melon was also relatively easy to use, so he mastered these basic knowledge in less than two days.

In addition to teaching him to distinguish the five elements of herbs, Zhao Chuan also taught him some other things, such as telling him pathology: to cure diseases, you must learn to distinguish yin and yang, and all diseases are caused by the imbalance of yin and yang.

Because everything in the world is condensed by the two qi of yin and yang, if the two qi are deviated and merged, there will be symptoms, and if the two qi are flat, the disease will be cured. The so-called healing and saving people is actually balancing yin and yang. To balance yin and yang, we must first distinguish yin and yang, yin and yang are impermanent, and it is not easy to distinguish them......

Similar to these basic knowledge, in the process of alchemy, Zhao Chuan intentionally or unintentionally explained to Da Mao.

After making all the preparations, using the Dan furnace sent by the ghost master Xiaotian, Zhao Chuan began the alchemy.

Since he has no personal experience, he relies on the empty theoretical knowledge that the ghost master Xiaotian instilled in him before,

Since Zhao Chuan had a specific goal plan, he just wanted to practice his hands to make a general physiotherapy pill at the beginning, and this kind of low-level medicine pill was not difficult to refine. After trial and error, after wasting half of the material, I finally came up with a phlegm-clearing and lung-clearing pill three days later.

This medicine pill is light red, transparent, and the size of peanuts, which is really pleasing to look at.

But I don't know how effective this pill is, I have to find a chance to give it a try to know in my heart.

When you get the first results, you have to continue practicing.

The hairy boy came from the pharmacy in the town at this time, saying that the shopkeeper Wang had something to find Zhao Chuan.

Zhao Chuan asked Da Mao to guard the herb plantation, and he went to the pharmacy with Mao Zi.

In the pharmacy, the two southern pharmacists were waiting, and three carts were parked at the door.

After being polite, after drinking tea again, Wang Decai took out the account book and said to Zhao Chuan that the goods had been sorted out, and now check and calculate.

Wang Decai fiddled with the abacus for a while, and then said that it was a total of fifty-six thousand two hundred and sixty taels of silver.

Fifty-six thousand two hundred and sixty two?

Although Da Mao had told him that it would cost tens of thousands of taels before, Zhao Chuan was still startled as soon as the numbers came out.

Zhao Chuan felt like he had been cheated.

After Wang Decai finished settling the accounts, he put the detailed account book in front of Zhao Chuan and asked him to look at it, and waved his hand to let people prepare to unload the goods one by one and move in to reconcile the accounts.

Zhao Chuan waved his hand and said forget it, I believe that the merchant will not be mistaken.

Wang Decai said that the payment ...... this goods?

Zhao Chuan said that the more than 50,000 goods are just these three cars?

Wang Decai said no, this is only one-third, and it was sorted out first according to your requirements.

Zhao Chuan said take a few things down first, and I'll take a look.

Wang Decai asked the people of the medicine merchant to remove a few pockets and take a few of them for Zhao Chuan to see.

Zhao Chuan glanced at it and said This is not in line with my requirements, you know my use, I am for alchemy, not a pharmacy for patients to boil medicine.

When the southern pharmacists heard this, they all looked at Wang Decai in a daze.

Wang Decai said Oh, blame me, I didn't have a master to make it clear, so let's do it, I will process it for you again, do you think it's okay?

Zhao Chuan said that I am refining pills over there, there is something, I have to go, let's talk about it when the processing is done.

When the southern pharmacist heard this, he was anxious, thinking that Zhao Chuan was not making excuses, so he hurriedly stood up and looked nervous, wanting to talk to Zhao Chuan.

Zhao Chuan waved his hand goodbye and said goodbye to me, if you have something to say, talk to Shopkeeper Wang, you are a supplier of medicinal materials, Shopkeeper Wang is a buyer, I am the final customer, I only buy from pharmacies, I can't ask for it if it doesn't meet the requirements.

Zhao Chuan took out a few silver tickets and said to Wang Decai that this is a thousand taels of silver tickets, which is a deposit for the goods I want. If you don't supply what I want today, you'll have to pay me the money. If you come out with the goods that meet my requirements today, if I don't want this deposit, it will be yours.

After that, Zhao Chuan still wants to leave, where can Wang Decai let him go?

Wang Decai asked the southern merchants to quickly unload the goods on the spot, and then process them according to Zhao Chuan's requirements.

The three carts of medicinal materials followed by the pharmacists turned out to be brought from the south by themselves, and they also knew medicinal materials, and they had heard the instructions of the two pharmacists to process them on the spot at the door of the pharmacist.

Some people cut and cut, pressed, pounded, grinded, grinded, grinded, a busy scene.

Zhao Chuan doesn't want to stay, where are these tens of thousands of taels of silver going? Even if you have the Han family's jade card and can go to the money village to withdraw it, but you can withdraw so much money, not to mention whether people will give it so much, even if you withdraw it, what are you doing with these medicinal materials? Zhao Fa felt that he had been fooling around for the past two days.

Zhao Chuan wanted to slip away.

Wang Decai said that he would not let Zhao Chuan go, and called out the insiders to make tea, and called out the man who lost the letter a few days ago to come out to compensate Zhao Chuan for chatting.

It's not that the man doesn't want to come out, but he just feels that he doesn't have anything to say to entertain Zhao Chuan, but he just said politely, saying that he forgot to thank him for being excited last time, so he has been living in a friend's pharmacy for the past few days after you left, just to see him again and thank you in person.

Zhao Chuan frowned and said in his heart, he was afraid of you.

Zhao Chuan couldn't help but speak, so he had to casually talk to this man.

When Zhao Chuan is in a bad mood, he can't open the pot.

Zhao Chuan said I also read the letter, why don't you go to that place without moving?

The man said that he had to take the waterway to go somewhere, and the waterway boat only came once a month.

Zhao Chuan said that the nearest ship was on which day? Tickets aren't cheap.

The man said that in two days, but there was a chance that he could take a boat without money.

Zhao Chuan asked what the opportunity was?

The man said that it was a newly opened small route, and the boat boss was called Huang Jin, because he was afraid of water bandits, so the boat boss wanted to recruit a few guards with the ship, and if he could be hired, he could get on the ship, and when the ship arrived at the place, I would get off the ship and resign.

Zhao Chuan said that this is a good idea, but such a position generally requires a reliable relationship with the ship boss to introduce it.

The man said yes, yes.

Huang Jin? Is it Huang Jin in that Jianghu Langzhong? Zhao Chuan was stunned.

But after thinking about it again, it feels impossible, how can Huang Jin be the boss of this newly opened small route when he is the little medical officer on the luxury passenger ship.

Zhao Chuan just wanted to change the topic, but the man said again, "When I went to Jiangzhou Wharf to inquire about the boat yesterday, I heard that there are only two passenger boats on this newly opened small route, and the boat boss named Huang Jin used to be a doctor You Fanglangzhong. So his ship is called Danshen, it just so happens that you are a doctor and an alchemist, I feel that I am so fateful, and the people I meet are all medical Taoists.

When Zhao Chuan heard this, he felt that Huang Jin, the boss of the ship, might be the guy who had suffered with him.

If it is really him, then this guy's recent thoughts are incomprehensible, according to Zhao Chuan's understanding when he last saw him, this Huang Jin wanted to climb up into the officialdom, otherwise he would not have told Zhao Chuan that he wanted to get acquainted with the Hou Ye of Jiangzhou City.

"Is that passenger ship on the new route you said big?" Zhao Chuan asked the man.

"It's not very big, only ten zhang in size." The man said, "When I went yesterday, I was still recruiting boatmen by the dock, but there were not enough boatmen, and I went to the poor land in the southwest, and it was still chaotic, and not many people wanted to go." ”

Zhao Chuan secretly said What is going on with this Huang Jin, now why did this guy get off the luxury passenger ship and go to a small boat to be the boss, and the route is not good, this abandonment of medicine and business seems to be wrong.
