On April 1, winter went to spring, everything recovered, and the capital of China was bathed in spring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This morning, Li Xian, who had just entered his first year of high school, walked out of the house and stretched.

"This morning there was math and English, and a chemistry experiment, so I had to hurry to class. Li Xian thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to hurry up and go to school.

On the way, Li Xian found something in the bushes on the side of the road, emitting a strange blue light.

When I picked it up, it was a strangely shaped iPad.

"The latest iPad, who lost it?" Li Xian held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

At that moment, the screen on the iPad suddenly lit up and a dialog box was displayed:

"Do you want to sublimate your life? Do you want to transcend the present world? If so, click the button below. ”

Underneath these two lines is a huge button with the word "yes" written on it.

"It's really crudely done, and there is only a "yes" button, no "no" button. Lord God, are you so hungry now?" Li Xian couldn't help but sneer a little.

Since the infinite stream of the main god novels became popular, the city where I am located has quickly become popular with this kind of trick game.

The simplest is to install small software in someone's computer, and when someone opens the computer, this kind of dialog box will appear, and all kinds of horror pictures will appear after clicking.

However, in the early morning, it is willing to invest in the cost of using such high-tech products that seem to be expensive.

Li Xian originally wanted to throw the things in his hand back to the original ground, but in the end, he didn't know what was going on, so he moved his finger to the "yes" button and clicked it.

When Li Xian clicked it, he found that the object in his hand emitted a soft light, enveloping him entirely, and then disappeared from the spot.

"Welcome reincarnators to the main god space and participate in the recruit trial mission.

This recruit trial mission is a survival mission, which requires the reincarnator to lurk in the 52371 plane and kill the reincarnators of other main god spaces until the main god space is connected.

Please be sure to complete the task, the punishment for failure of the task will be the ultimate obliteration, I hope the reincarnation will be cautious. ”

Li Xian felt that he was surrounded by light, constantly moving, and a cold, emotionless mechanical voice sounded in his ears.

I don't know how long later, he felt that the ball of light surrounding his home suddenly disappeared, and when he looked up, there was a blue sky and white clouds above, and the vast sea under his feet, and he happened to fall straight down from dozens of meters in mid-air.

Falling into the water, the salty sea water poured straight into his mouth, and Li Xian finally surfaced with an unskilled dog planer.

"Lord God, I x your ancestors. Being thrown into the water inexplicably, Li Xian couldn't help but scold, scolding the eighteenth generation of ancestors of the main god all over --- if the main god also had ancestors.

In the sea, Li Xian's dog-planing style is naturally not enough.

Just as he was exhausted and began to float and sink in the sea, a small boat sailed up to him, and a wooden oar handed him over, and pulled him aboard.

When Li Xian climbed up desperately and was unable to lie down, a wrinkled and obscene face appeared in front of him, and he said to him with a flattering face: "Shangxian, the poor Dao is a person from the Daluo Dao of Leizhou Mixed Yuan Guan, and he is polite here." ”

Li Xian and the obscene face, no, Da Luo Lao Dao talked about it, only to know that he was in the sea near Donghai Island east of Yaluo Village, Leizhou, Guangdong, and the Taoist in front of him was the master of the Yaluo Bay Mixed Yuan Temple in Xuwen County, Leizhou, Da Luo Daoren, commonly known as Chen Qian.

Ask the emperor's year name again, it is now the fifteenth year of Emperor Daoguang of the Great Qing Dynasty, that is, 1835 in the Western calendar.

There are all kinds of strange planes that the main god sends reincarnators to, knowing that he is in the Qing Dynasty plane, Li Xian's heart is a little more at ease, at least not the biochemical plane and the zombie plane or something, the chance of survival will be greater.

Continuing to talk with Chen Qian, he learned that Chen Qian saw Li Xian appear in mid-air with a cloud of blue light, and he was shocked by the heavens, thinking that it was the heavenly immortals who had descended to the mortal world, and he was in awe of him.

Li Xian pushed the boat along the way, saying that he was the son-in-law of a certain great immortal in the fairy world, because he encountered a sudden attack by a master of the demon world, he was sent to this world by his father in reverse time and space, and he would be taken back to the sky after the war subsided.

It is only because of the difference between immortals and mortals, and at the same time, in order to avoid the tracking of the demon world, he deliberately sealed his cultivation, so that he has no mana at all on his body now, which is no different from mortals.

After some friendly negotiations, Li Xian and Chen Qian reached a series of agreements: Chen Qian would keep Li Xian's identity a secret and provide necessary help and protection, and in return, Li Xian would take Chen Qian with him when he returned to the Immortal Realm.

In short, it was a mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial agreement.

When the two of them returned to the Mixed Yuan Temple together, Chen Qian boasted in order to increase the weight in Li Xian's heart, saying that he had learned martial arts since he was a child, and he was also well-known in the entire Leizhou.

Li Xian begged Chen Qian to perform martial arts, Chen Qian lifted his palm and exerted his force outward, and the palm wind shook the small tree five or six meters away everywhere, which made Li Xian startled.

If it is in modern society, he can go to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with this hand alone and become one of the best martial arts masters, but in terms of the situation in this plane, this bit of kung fu is just very ordinary, and many famous and decent inner disciples are not weaker than him.

Listening to Chen Qian's old Taoist words, Li Xian was a little distracted, he originally thought that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, as long as he farmed, opened mines, built an army, and rebelled step by step, he would be able to fight the world, but he didn't expect that there was also the factor of martial arts.

In this way, this plane is at least a low-level martial plane, and the excitement of its martial arts will at least be much stronger than the plane from which it came.

In this case, it is inevitable to learn martial arts.

It would be nice if the main god space could provide support in terms of bloodline, exercises, and pills, but unfortunately, since he arrived at this 52371 plane, the main god space has remained silent, as if it had never appeared, which made him feel a little scratching his heart and having nowhere to put his mouth.

"Since that's the case, I'll learn martial arts while making money and gain a foothold in this world. Li Xian said to himself in his heart.

This mixed yuan view is located in Yaluo Port, Xuwen County, Leizhou, and has a good foundation under Chen Qian's decades of operation.

In terms of land, there are 30 acres of land in the entire Mixed Yuan Temple, which are usually rented out, and the annual rent income is still a little rich after the Taoist temple spends.

In addition, this Chen Qian is also somewhat famous in the local area, usually presiding over ritual affairs for nearby large households, etc., and can also receive fifty or sixty taels of silver incense money a year, which is considered a solid home by the standards of this time and space.

Knowing that Chen Qian has these foundations, Li Xian's heart is a lot more stable, and with these plus his own business, it should not be difficult to earn thousands of taels of silver.

In this way, Li Xian lived in the Mixed Yuan Temple, and naturally said that he was Chen Qian's newly accepted apprentice and learned Taoism in the Taoist Temple.

Many people may not know where this Guangdong Leizhou is, but after a little explanation, it will suddenly dawn on you.

From the map, China is like a big rooster, of which Hainan Island and Dayuan Island are two chicken feet, this Leizhou Peninsula is just north of Qiongzhou on Hainan Island, just from the mainland to the south of the chicken leg part.

As for Yaluo Bay, where this mixed yuan view is located, it is the southernmost east side of the Leizhou Peninsula, facing the East China Sea, and belongs to Xuwen County.

There are three extremely unique resources in this Xuwen County, which must be talked about.

The first resource is the transportation resource, which does not need to be explained in detail, but a casual glance at the map will show that this is a very important sea communication artery, and it is a place that must be passed when going from Guangzhou to Vietnam to the Nanyang countries.

The second resource is the sugar industry. Xuwen County is very suitable for growing sugarcane and was one of the most important sugar production areas in the Qing Dynasty at this time.

Among the three counties of Leizhou, Xuwen County exports an average of 780,000 to 100,000 bales of sugar (20 kilograms per pack) per year, and the three counties together are an average of 560,000 bales per year, which is terrifying in terms of the productivity of the Qing Dynasty in this era.

The third resource is a bit obscure and even fewer people know, that is, Xu Wen is still the only whaling hometown in the Qing Kingdom, responsible for paying whale oil tribute to the imperial palace.

In addition, there are many other local specialties, such as Xu Wen's ginger, tiger bone wine, shark group fins, etc., which are also designated tributes by the Ming and Qing emperors, and are quite famous.

After learning about these situations, Li Xian had some eyebrows about what to do next.

Yarrow Bay happens to be the place with the highest concentration of whaling fishermen.

On this day, Li Xian went to the fishing village of Yaluo Bay to wander around, and happened to see the fishermen dragging the huge whale carcass back.

After inquiring with the villagers, it turned out that it was a female whale that weighed 45,000 catties, that is, more than 20 tons.

When I asked the price, the price of whale meat was 30 wen per catty, and the fat was boiled into oil and sold for about 35 wen per catty, which was about the same as the price of pork and lard.

The rice noodles here are about ten pounds and ten yuan, so the price ratio of meat and rice is almost three to one.

Li Xian continued to inquire, and found that the whale's internal organs were much cheaper, only ten yuan per catty; as for whale bones, they were things that no one wanted, and everyone threw them casually to the beach, and whoever wanted to take them would take them.

In the case of European whaling in this era, whale bones were also an important source of whale oil, but no one wanted them here, which seems to be related to customs, or it may be because the bones need to consume more firewood, which is expensive and laborious, and does not make much money.

After inquiring again, whale skin is also a good leather resource, and there are leathermen in the village who specialize in handling whale skin, so Li Xian bought a bunch of caustic soda for processing whale skin with the cobbler.

Then I discussed with the fishermen, bought all the whale's pancreas, and asked for five or six hundred catties of whale bones, and took them back to the Mixed Yuan Temple.

This whale bone Li Xian only gave a total of one piece of silver, that is, a reward of one hundred wen, and the right was used as foot money, and the fishermen were very happy, feeling that they had taken a big advantage.

When he returned to the Mixed Yuan Temple and asked Chen Qian, who didn't know why, to help give the money, Li Xian rushed into the kitchen.

What Li Xian had to do was very simple, that is, to make soap out of what he had at hand.

Li Xian had seen old people use pig pancreas to make pig pancreatic soap in the countryside before, and since pig pancreas can be used, then the same thing should be able to make soap from whale pancreas.

The first is to take some caustic soda and make alkaline water (ancient countryside).

First, remove the oil from the whale's pancreas, pick out the tendons, then chop the pancreas, put it on a bluestone slab and pound it into a paste with a mallet, and then put it in a large wooden basin and stir.

While stirring, pour the pre-prepared alkaline water into it, so that the contents of the tub will become more and more sticky and dense.

When it can't be stirred, take out a piece of the contents and put it in a dry place to dry, and this whale pancreatic soap is done.

With a pinch of your hands, you can produce a lot of foam, and wash your hands cleanly.

It's just that the soap produced in this way looks black and unsightly, and it smells a peculiar smell mixed with some aroma, which is much better than pure pig pancreatic soap.

Li Xian didn't think about making fragrant soap for the first time, but he just wanted to see if the whale's pancreas could be used as raw materials for soap.

The rest is much simpler, find a way to make the soap look good, add some aroma, and you're good to go.

There have been many recipes for pig pancreatic soap since ancient times.

For example, there are many soap formulas in Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Fang", which is to mix pig pancreas with white flour and egg white, and add five kinds of spices, such as green wood, sweet rosin, white sandalwood, musk and cloves, which are pounded together into fine powder, and then mixed with white bean crumbs.

There is also a detailed soap recipe in the "Ren Zhai Zhizhi" written by Yang Shiying in the Song Dynasty: "Angelica dahurica, white aconite, white zombie silkworm, white root, pig tooth soaphorn, white tribulus terrestris, white silk, grass black, hawthorn, sweet pine, white cloves, rhubarb, manuscript, crane white, almonds, soybean flour one tael, pig fat (to the membrane) three taels, light powder, honey monk, camphor half a tael, children's tea three coins, soap (to the inside and outside of the skin and bands, as long as the meat is a tea cup). First, mash the soapy meat, clean it with chicken, and dry it to remove the smell.

The medicine is the end, and the soap, pork fat, chicken clear and pill are used. ”

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, sandalwood, pai vanilla, Guangling incense and other strongly scented grass were added to the soap to make the soap smell more fragrant.

After discussing with Chen Qian, Chen Qian was also very interested in the production of soap and was willing to support it.

So, Chen Qian went to buy some books that recorded soap recipes, and then bought some spices, and the two of them studied the production method of soap together.

The main raw materials of most soaps are pig pancreas and lard, which can be replaced by whale pancreas and whale oil.

After many experiments, the two decided to use sperm whale whale and other whale pancreas and whale oil with their own aroma, so that the soap itself will have a strong aroma;

As for other spices and ingredients, they are harmful to the decontamination ability of the soap, but they can only add aroma, so they can be added or subtracted depending on the situation.

However, Li Xian proposed to add some natural fuels, which could make more changes to the color of the soap.

The two of them worked together for a month and spent more than ten taels of silver to finally develop a soap formula that looked and smelled good.

Then make a suitable mold, press the soap into the molding, a soap with a lotus-shaped relief print directly above, and a fragrant smell of soap will be launched, at least much better and smelling better than the handmade soap that Li Xian has seen before.

As for the function, whether it is the washing function or the beauty effect, it is also a bargain.

At the end of the day, it's also about whale pancreas and whale oil quality far exceeding pig pancreas and lard.

If it is in modern society, whale oil soap is the top luxury, and pig pancreatic soap is only a low-level product only in the countryside, which is not without reason.

"This thing sells for money, and it sells for a lot of money. Looking at the finished soap, Chen Qian's eyes became fanatical.

"It's not enough to have good products, but also to have corresponding business models. Li Xian said.

The whale pancreas they bought was much cheaper than the pig's pancreas, and it was also easier to obtain than the pig's pancreas, and as for whale oil, it was not cheap, but they boiled the whale bones out of the oil, and the cost was much lower than lard.

It's just that the low cost doesn't mean that you want to go the low-end route.

The production cost of a piece of soap, including labor, is less than a penny of silver, that is, ten copper coins, but two people order a delicate wooden box to put soap, and then the wholesale price of each piece of soap is set at 50 yuan, and the retail price is set at 100 yuan.

When selling, the first thing is to take the temple Taoist route, that is, to entrust the various temples and Taoist temples in the three counties of Leizhou to sell, and then divide the money after the sale.

Although the soap recipe is common, it is usually only made by the top families for home use, and it is rarely sold in the market.

When these Taoist temples were recommended to the big families who made incense, they immediately caused a sensation, attracting the relatives of the rich families to rush to buy them, and a rush to buy them was formed for a while.

Whale oil is actually a natural aphrodisiac, and modern research has shown that just as bones have a fatal attraction to dogs, whale oil also has a strong and unique attraction to humans, which makes it more popular than all other kinds of spices.

Ancient queens and aristocratic wives often lit candles made of whale oil at dinner with their husbands in the evening to entice them to sleep with them, which is the true origin of the "candlelight dinner".

It's not for nothing that ambergris has become the king of all spices.

In short, the instant popularity of the soap brought considerable income to Yaluoguan, and Chen Qian and Li Xian soon earned hundreds of taels of silver.

With this income, the two men set up a spice workshop, hired craftsmen and shopkeepers, and extended the sales channels of soap from the three counties of Leizhou to Guangzhou and Macau.

After that, Li Xian went to Macao to collect various technical books, improve the formula of soap, and then buy raw materials and fuels such as soda ash to produce better quality soap at a lower cost.

Three years later, the Yaluoguan soap workshop had more than 20 craftsmen and three shopkeepers, and its products were sold to well-known workshops throughout the Qing Dynasty and Nanyang, earning Chen Qian and Li Xian a net income of thousands of taels of silver.

It's just that Li Xian has done a good job in making money, but the effect of learning martial arts is mediocre.

Chen Qian didn't hide his selfishness, and taught Li Xian the basic skills such as the Twelve Piles of Mixed Yuan and the Five Bird Play, but after Li Xian learned it, the effect was not very good, and it was okay to deal with one or two strong men, hoping to become a martial arts master, or at least a master of Chen Qian's level, that was an extravagant hope.

On this day, after Chen Qian returned from delivering soap in Guangzhou, he brought an unusual news.

"I found out that Sanyuanguan issued a three-yuan order to admit children from various factions to Sanyuanguan to learn martial arts. Chen Qian said.

"What is this Three-Element Observation Three-Element Order?" Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned and asked.

"The three-element view has always been my Guangdong martial arts master, and its master Xuan Zheng is known as the first master in Guangdong, and he is also a congenital-level martial arts master.

All the major sects on the rivers and lakes cherish themselves, and they will never easily pass on their own knowledge to outsiders.

However, this three-element view is unique, and the three-element order will be issued every five years, and anyone who is interested in learning martial arts can go to the three-element temple and learn martial arts with the inner disciples in the view.

During this period, all the mastery of the temple was announced to everyone, and the master of the temple could also ask for the way of martial arts. ”

"And this kind of thing? The practice of this three-element view is somewhat similar to the practice of the fairy world, and it is open enough.

Then if I go to Sanyuan Guan to learn martial arts, will it be stronger than now?"

"It's much better to learn martial arts from the Three Elements than in our Yaluo Concept, that's for sure.

People who learn martial arts have to learn martial arts from the age of five or six, practice their muscles and bones, you learn martial arts much later than others, and it is normal to become a master in this life.

There are many masters of the Sanyuanguan and countless resources, which can allow you to truly embark on the path of martial arts. ”

"That's good. Li Xian was overjoyed, shouted, and then realized a little: "This should be a good thing, but I see that Master, you are uncertain, is there something in the way?"

"This three-element view is good, but it is not completely cost-free to go there and study. Chen Qian couldn't help sighing: "If you go there to learn martial arts, you can do it regardless of dignity or humility, but everyone has to pay two thousand taels of silver for tuition." ”

"Two thousand taels of silver, why don't they go and grab the money?" Li Xian couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Xian has been in this world for a while, and he knows what two thousand taels of silver means, as far as Yaluoguan is concerned, although he has made a lot of money in the past three years, a lot of money has been invested in buying land, factories, and machinery, and the cash at this time is only about fifteen or six hundred taels.

If you want to collect two thousand taels of silver, you have to collect some of the accounts outside.

"There are countless opportunities for the three-yuan view, and these two thousand taels of silver are also fair. Chen Qian shook his head and said.

"Oh, then I don't know what you mean, Master?" asked Li Xian cautiously.

Although he has been close to Chen Qian in the past three years, and has earned thousands of taels of silver together, Li Xian does not think that the other party will be generous enough to throw out two thousand taels of silver for him to learn martial arts.

Although Li Xian made a lot of efforts in the process of making money, Li Xian was only Chen Qian's apprentice in name, if it was two hundred taels of silver, it would have been spent, but two thousand taels of silver, without Chen Qian's nod, Li Xian really couldn't take it out.

It's just that Chen Qian's answer proves that Li Xian still doesn't know enough about him.

"This money is just something outside the body, and it is worth it to learn a skill. Chen Qian said: "Let's tighten our belts, and the money will come out." It's just that afterwards I hope you will help me do something, which can be regarded as a reward for me, what do you think?"

"That's great. Master has been so kind to me for so many years, if not one, I will help you do ten. Li Xian couldn't help but say with joy.
