Chapter 38: Dropper
Cole came out with the potion, and Kaichi was studying a dark bone on the shelf.
Generally speaking, only the bones of poisoned creatures will be black, but judging by the way Kaichi plays with it in his hand, this bone should not be poisonous.
"You like this bone? I picked it up in the forest outside the city, and if you like it, I'll give it to you as a gift. ”
Kaichi took the bones to the counter: "Is this really a bone? I thought it was some kind of fossil or stone, it looked like obsidian." ”
"Take a look. Cole handed the potion to Kaichi and stood behind the counter, "I've studied, this one is either stone or bone, but it doesn't have any magic fluctuations, it can't inscribe runes, and it seems to have the ability to repel magic." ”
Hearing Cole say this, Jia Yi hurriedly put down his bones and said to him, "So you will send me too?"
For a mage, anything he doesn't understand represents a new kind of cognition, especially since this bone is so strange and has a rejection of magic, which is very strange. Because there are very few materials that completely reject magic, even a piece of clay and a piece of cloth have a magic affinity, but the magic affinity is very weak and cannot meet the requirements of enchantment.
And things that completely reject magic, although they are of relatively small use, but they also have special uses. This kind of thing can be regarded as a strange thing, and its value is not low. For mages, anything that is out of the ordinary is worth studying.
Cole understood what Jia Yi meant, but did not answer Jia Yi directly: "You can take a look at these two bottles of potion first, we will talk about this later." ”
"Also, get down to business first. ”
Kaichi took out a wrapped dropper from his bag, opened the potion, took the dropper and sucked a few drops, immediately took it out, and closed the cap. He tilted his head slightly and dropped the dropper onto the coating of his tongue.
Well, the medicine spreads from the back of the tongue to the tip of the tongue and throat, the taste is thick and plump, slightly greasy, and the ingredients are very sufficient, and then there is a tight sour and astringent taste, the taste is slightly dry and rough, but slowly there is a slightly sweet aftertaste, just like the sweetness of drinking tea, and leaves a rich blackcurrant flavor, which seems to have an endless aftertaste. The most important thing is that with the medicine in his stomach, Jia Yi felt that his body seemed to be much more active, and there was a magic power spreading out from his stomach, but the dose of medicine was too small, and he soon didn't feel it, leaving only the fragrance in his mouth that was still lingering.
"Your potion is good, the effect is much better than what I originally bought. And you also add special ingredients to make the taste better, and the aroma, a bit like the taste of wine. Jia Yi said in admiration.
"I added blackcurrant juice to it, that's why it tastes so good. ”
"It's definitely not just blackcurrant juice, just adding juice doesn't have that effect. Jia Yi said with a little unfinished, but he didn't break the casserole to ask the end, and without waiting for Cole to answer, he continued, "I want both bottles of potion, plus the previous ones." ”
Seeing that Jiayi didn't ask, Cole's impression of him was much better, although it didn't help the medicinal effect, but it was his unique sign, and besides, two bottles of potions with similar medicinal effects that tasted good were definitely more popular than those with bad taste.
After the money and goods were cleared, Cole looked at Jia's handful of potions and herbs, and when he was about to put away the dropper, he said: "Actually, there is nothing, it's just that the blackcurrant juice is fermented, and then the juice is taken to have such a taste and cover the original taste of the potion." Can you lend me this tube for your medicine? This is much more convenient than a teaspoon. ”
Kaichi didn't expect him to be interested in droppers, but this is really something that this world doesn't have: "This is made of dropper, glass and glue, which can easily take a small amount of liquid, and you won't accidentally pour too much when making potions." ”
Kaichi handed the dropper in his hand to Cole, who had just told him the secret about the taste of the potion, and he couldn't be stingy. It can be seen that Cole is a person who does not want to owe favors, otherwise, he would not have told Jiayi the secret of the taste of the potion before asking to see the dropper.
Cole took the dropper, went to the side shelf and got a small bottle of minor injury healing potion back, and played with the dropper.
Jia Yi saw Cole directly pinching the glue with his hand and said, "Your gesture is wrong, if you are not careful, you will squeeze out the liquid, it should be like this." ”
Jiayi took the dropper and clamped the dropper with his index and middle fingers: "Use the middle finger and ring finger to clamp the glass part to keep it stable, and then use the thumb and index finger to squeeze the rubber head, so that you can control the inhalation or dropping amount of the drug." ”
As he spoke, he noticed that Cole didn't look at him right, and he was wandering back and forth between his hands and face, and he was wondering if he had more dirt on his face, but it was okay just now. Take a closer look at his gestures, it turns out that he has been talking for a long time, his gestures are different from what he said in his mouth, he said that he was holding the glass with his ring finger, but he used his index finger and middle finger to clamp the glass part, but the index finger part was relatively high, and he squeezed it on the rubber head with his thumb.
Jia Yi is also a person who has seen the world, so he immediately did not change his face, and continued: "That technique is suitable for longer droppers, and like this shorter, you can use your index finger and middle finger to hold the glass part of the dropper, like me. The main principle is to avoid accidental falling off of the glue, and do not squeeze the liquid medicine down because the force used in the hand is greater. ”
With that, Kaichi returned the dropper to Cole. And Cole only had one feeling at this time, he made a lot of sense, I was speechless, although he had never heard of this sentence, but this was the feeling in his heart.
However, Cole didn't try it again after the dropper, and he asked, "Although glass is not common, it is quite simple, but I have never seen this rubber sleeve." ”
"Have you ever seen a bicycle? The paper published in Magical Strange Things, there are tires made of Eucommia ulmoides, and this one is also made of Eucommia ulmoides. ”
"I've heard of bicycles, and there seem to be people in the city who sell them, but not much, and then it seems to be less, and I heard that there are not enough raw materials. It's just that I haven't seen the paper.,I'm specialized in potions.,I didn't order "Magical Wonders".,I didn't expect the inventions in it to have other uses.,It seems that my vision is still a little narrow.。 ”
Jia Yiwei smiled, not knowing whether to tell him that the bicycle and the tire dropper were all invented by himself. However, when everyone met for the first time, they immediately pretended to be a B and were not very friendly, and he said: "After all, no one can understand everything, and if you don't specialize in potions, your skills won't be so good." ”
"But it's also useful to expand my horizons, and seeing your dropper made me figure out how I could improve my potion level next, and I should make some better tools to be more accurate with my dosing," Cole said. Although your dropper is simple, it is still very useful for adding medicines, and I used to use a teaspoon to add it, so it is not easy to grasp the dosage. ”
Speaking of this, Colton paused: "As a return gift, this black bone is given to you." ”
Jia Yi said, "You were going to give it to me as an add-on at the beginning, but I didn't see the dropper at that time, and you also told me the trick to the taste of the potion, so I didn't suffer a loss." Why are you so obsessed with giving me this bone? ”
Jia Yi looked at Cole, this bone should not be some curse, but even if it is a curse, it is also worth studying.
