Chapter 10 Formula
In front of a small stall not far from the material market, a middle-aged man with a mustache who looks like a butler is engaged in fierce bargaining with the skinny vendor owner.
"Three Kinvet per plant, it couldn't be cheaper, Mr. Gary. The stall smiled and Mimi, her eyes narrowed into a small slit.
"Keedy, I'm your old patron. I have harvested all of these blue pearl grasses, two gold vetts per plant. The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper said to the vendor, it seemed that he was very familiar with the market here, and his tone of asking for the price was very firm.
"Oh, it's an impossible price, do you want me to go back and be whipped by my wife?"
"Come on, Keedy, every time you get beaten by your wife, it's because you secretly take money to find your good friend. But don't try to take advantage of me to satisfy your lower body. The butler's tone was disdainful. He knew all too well what these rat-like traffickers were thinking. He must have planned to sell it for a higher price than his wife had asked for, so that he could spend his time drinking.
The peddler saw that no one was paying attention to him, and secretly came over: "If you want, I can give you ten silver Witt, how about it?
"No, no, you're paying a bribe, Keedy. ”
"Oh, Gary, you're just a butler, there's no need to be so dutiful. ”
"That's why I was able to go from servant to steward, well, two Jinwit in one, I won't give you one more. ”
The skinny vendor shook his head with a bitter face, "I know you don't believe it, Mr. Gary, but I really can't afford this price." You must know that anti-aging potions are very popular now, and those aristocratic ladies are crazy about purchasing. Blue bead grass is an essential ingredient for making this potion, and even if you don't buy it, I don't have to worry that no one will buy them. ”
The butler wanted to grab the bastard and beat him up.
In many cases, the bottom line price of the other party does not mean that it can be successful, the hot sale of the market will occasionally make the buyer's market into a seller's market, some material dealers are not worried that their things cannot be sold, they can wait for the price to sell.
However, the purchase of materials at such a price means that the cost price of the manufactured medicine is close to the sales price.
The problem is that he is late today, there are not many blue beads left, and the vendors in other places are also at this price. Damn Keady, he's got into the money hole, don't think I'll take care of his business in the future.
While he was distressed, a young voice suddenly sounded next to him:
"As far as I know, Blue Bead is not a necessary ingredient for making anti-aging elixirs. ”
Gary turned his head and saw a well-dressed young man standing behind him.
On either side of him, there were two beautiful little girls by his side.
The vendor named Kedi was a little dissatisfied: "Hey, boy, don't mess around here if you don't buy anything." ”
The boy shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Gary, "It seems that someone doesn't want me to talk." ”
The housekeeper glanced at the vendor disdainfully, and said to the young man: "I can see that you are a young man from a well-educated family, that is just an inferior person, you don't have to pay attention to him, I am very interested in what you just said, I think you are talking about something that can replace the blue bead grass to make anti-aging potion?"
The other party made an elegant bowing posture: "Many water attribute demon plants of the same kind can be replaced. ”
Keedy, a hawker on the side, shouted in a sharp voice, "Mr. Gary, I don't think you told him that the Kamel family never produces potions below the highest grade. ”
The butler named Gary looked at Hue with a smile: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I can't take your suggestion. ”
Xiu Yi looked at the two beauties beside him, and his smile was still bright: "Take the middle essence part of a red ling, add two drops of Aruba lizard liquid to mix, and use it to replace the blue bead grass, which can make a high-quality anti-aging elixir." ”
The butler and the hawker looked at each other at the same time.
Gary looked at Xiu Yi in disbelief, thought for a moment and said, "Although I am not an alchemist, my long-term experience as a purchaser has made me somewhat understand some things about potion refining. It's strange that I've never heard of this method. ”
Xiu Yi spread his hands: "Alchemy pursues the laws of the operation of things, and the connection between everything is so complex, how can it be that human beings can explore it? Presumably, even the great Electra alchemist does not dare to say that he has mastered the laws of the operation of all things in this world." The ocean of knowledge is endless, new discoveries are being made every day, and it's not unusual that you haven't heard of it, but it's strange that you don't even have the courage to try...... The combined price of these two things is less than 1 Jinwit, which is much cheaper than blue bead grass. ”
The butler held his chin with his right hand and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, Your Excellency, I'm sorry for my suspicion of you just now. You must know that very few alchemists are willing to hand over their exclusive recipes. ”
"Indeed, I tell you because it doesn't seem to me to be anything. "Huey was very confident.
He looked confident and handsome.
If Clarice had been here, she would have firmly believed that Huey was playing with his tricks again, but it was Daisy and Lanti who were here at this moment.
Sometimes we have to admit that pretending to be cool in front of women is indeed a very effective act of attracting the hearts of women, although Xiu Yi's purpose is not this, he does succeed in making the eyes of the two little girls release red hearts.
The butler named Gary thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll try to buy some and ask the alchemist in the family to try them." ”
Then he hurried away despite the peddler's shouts.
Keaddy, the peddler, glared at Xiui with a vicious look, "Hey, kid, you've ruined my business. ”
Lan Ti was about to sneer at her, but was stopped by Xiuyi.
He casually threw Kedy a Jinwit in his hand, then took out a pen and paper and hurriedly wrote a few words on it, handed it to Kedi's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that he will come back to you to buy blue bead grass." This note has my name and address on it, and if you can give this information to the butler in a more subtle way, I'll give you another Kinwitt, what do you think?"
Keedy, the peddler, looked at Hue in confusion, picked up the Kinwitt and shook it, nodded and said, "No problem, troublemaker." If you don't give me that Kinvet, I'll tell the butler all that you tell me now. I'll tell him you lied to him. ”
"Deal. Xiu Yi said calmly.
——————————————————————
"I thought you were telling him the right way. On the way back, Lan Ti almost screamed.
"That's the right way to configure it. Huey replied.
"Then why did the butler come back to buy bluebeads?" asked Daisy confusedly.
"Because I only told him how to replace the blue bead grass with something else, but I didn't tell him what method he should use for post-processing. So he was doomed. ”
"Oh, Fink, you're so bad!" the two girls cried out as they covered their mouths at the same time.
"But I don't understand why you're doing that. Is it good for you to offend a family?" said Daisy a little worried for Huey.
"And how do you know how to refine potions?" Lan Ti couldn't figure out how Xiu Yi knew so much.
Two girls, you and I keep asking questions.
Xiu Yi sighed and stopped, he looked at the two little girls, and said softly, "Daisy, Lanti, you are all good girls. But I can't stay in the troupe forever. I've got my own thing to do, I mean...... Everybody has something to pursue, doesn't they?"
Daisy looked at Huey in surprise, "You said you were leaving?"
Lan Ti simply grabbed Xiu Yi: "No, Fink, you can't just leave. ”
Xiu Yi patted Lan Ti's little hand: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say I was leaving." I just want to get something, but it's not easy to get and someone needs to help me. ”
The two girls breathed a sigh of relief.
Daisy asked, "Did you say you needed the help of the nobles?"
"Yes. ”
"The Gary butler?"
"Yes. ”
The girl was completely confused: "But you just tricked him." If you tell him the right way, he might come and thank you, but now ......"
Xiu Yi impatiently stopped the culture of the two of them: "Trust me Daisy, and Lanti, the world is complicated, not that simple. The great housekeeper of a family will not repay him with a few words of kindness just because a passer-by kindly guided him. They are not gentlemen who repay their kindness, and although they are always well-bred and mild-mannered, that doesn't mean anything. You can't expect a simple chance encounter and a few words to get a butler to trust you and then meet whatever you need, it's impractical. ”
"But you ......"
So if you want to attract the attention of a person or a family, sometimes it's much quicker and easier to attract hatred than gratitude. ”
The girls covered their mouths at the same time and their eyes widened: "Oh my God, you mean ......"
"Yes, if they don't do it the right way, then the anti-aging elixir won't just fail. The potions in the cauldron will rush out like roaring waves......" Speaking of this, Xiu Yi grinned, "I know that most potion alchemists don't have the habit of being that good, they always like to pile all the materials they want to use together, just to make it easier to hold in their hands. When the potion in the crucible rushed out, it was believed that many materials would be destroyed, and the loss would be far greater than they expected. ”
"Oh, no! Fink! that Gary steward is going to kill you!" Ranty almost screamed.
She never imagined that the method of Xiu Yi who confidently walked over and taught others would be the method of harming others.
"Yes, if I couldn't tell them how to use the ingredients correctly, they might do. Xiu Yi replied with a smile, and he gently hugged the two girls: "But don't worry, I won't die so easily." I just wanted to make sure that Gary Butler would come to the door, after all, it is easier to get revenge than to repay the favor. Of course, his purpose is certainly not to express gratitude, but what does it matter? The important thing is that he will come to me, and that is enough for me. ”
The two girls almost fainted.
