Chen Mu: “…”
You really have a pair of eyes that can discover business opportunities.
Chapter 42 Brush
Chen Mu has always admired Jiejia's money-making ideas.
But you can't just grab me and pull my sheep out.
What to do if you get bald skin? !
"Do you want it?" Jie Jia still squinted his eyes, expressionless and calm.
"Yes!" Chen Mu gritted his teeth.
If he wanted to improve his proficiency in pharmacy, he had to buy medicinal materials.
Supplies are in short supply in Qingshan County, and anything that is a little scarce is hard to buy.
"I'll make a list and buy it in a few days." Chen Mu wanted to finish reading the medical book in his hand first, and then start when there was nothing left to read.
……
At night, after dinner, I washed up.
Chen Mu was wearing a loose robe and sitting at the wooden table under the window of the wooden house.
He lit the oil lamp and placed the medical books that Jie Jia had found neatly on the corner of the table.
There were quite a lot of books, three piles in total, each as high as a forearm.
If there weren't duplicate books among them, there would be even more books in that small sack.
With a thought, he called up the gray wall and looked at the pharmacy column.
Pharmacy: 4852/10000/Level ;
Chen Mu already had a plan on how to improve his proficiency in alchemy.
The three piles of books in front of you are the best tools.
Pulling out a book called "Compendium of Materia Medica", Chen Mu lit the oil lamp and concentrated.
As I read, bits and pieces of insights flow into my mind like a trickle of water.
The terms that are difficult for ordinary people to understand are no secrets in Chen Mu's eyes.
Proficiency increases rapidly with reading.
Half an hour later, he had finished reading one third of the medical book which was as thick as a finger.
Call up proficiency.
The pharmacy skill has increased from 4852 to 4873, a proficiency increase of twenty-one points.
"Good, continue!"
……
An hour later, Chen Mu finished reading the last page of the book.
The proficiency has reached 4913.
Not only did the data improve, but when I closed my eyes and thought about the contents of the medical book I had just read, pictures would appear in my mind.
There is even some extra information about the drug's growth environment in my mind.
"It's worthy of being a plug-in!"
If only I had this plug-in in my previous life.
All the top students and geniuses have to stand aside!
Chen Mu stood up, stretched and prepared to go to bed.
It was late at night and quiet outside the window. Only his place still had the oil lamp on.
There is not much entertainment in the other world at night.
Most of the people living here are laborers.
I work in the mountains and chisel rocks during the day, and fall asleep as soon as it gets dark.
Chen Mu blew out the oil lamp and prepared to rest.
As he turned around, he couldn't help but glance out through the window.
Under the bright moonlight, a black shadow flashed across the mountain path.
Chen Mu turned around.
Only a black shadow was seen flipping into Qingfeng Temple and disappearing.
"Forget it, let's not meddle in other people's business."
He had no interest in catching up and watching.
His first priority now is to recover from his injuries.
He ran away as soon as his injury healed. No matter what secrets Qingfeng Temple had, they had nothing to do with him.
……
Chen Mu's wooden house is on the slope at the foot of the west side of Xiaodong Mountain, outside the edge of the gathering area and closer to the forest.
He lives a secluded life and has almost no interaction with people in the gathering area.
Chen Mu enjoyed the quietness, staying at home in the wooden house to slowly recover from his injuries, and couldn't help himself from reading every day to improve his proficiency.
The experience in pharmaceutical making is rising rapidly.
Half a month later, in the evening, Chen Mu was half lying on a bamboo chair.
In his left hand, he held a copy of "Leigong Paozhi Yaoxing Jie" and read it attentively, while in his right hand he was unconsciously fiddling with a pebble the size of a peanut.
Putting down the book in his hand, Chen Mu brought up the gray wall.
Pharmacy: 7726/10000/Level ;
He took out a large porcelain bottle containing duck eggs and poured out a pill of Sanyang Liujun Pill.
Put it on the tip of your nose and carefully distinguish the smell of the medicine.
"Sixteen, but not all."
Smell, taste, and cut up the drug to test the ingredients with other drugs.
Every day he would use his pharmaceutical skills to identify the composition of Liujun Pills.
"I have to continue to improve my proficiency."
Chen Mu reluctantly put down the medical book. This was the last one in his hand.
Qingshan County is a small marginal town with limited heritage, so it is difficult to find new books.
"I still have to try it myself." In addition to reading books, practicing making medicine can also improve proficiency: "This expense cannot be saved."
Chen Mu was a little hesitant. Research and development would be a bottomless pit if the funds were burned.
"Don't lose money."
Chen Mu pondered over Liujun Pills for a while and felt that it was only missing two or three ingredients.
"I'll first upgrade my medicine-making skills to the third level. If that doesn't work, forget it!" Chen Mu set a red line for himself.
Now that I have the proficiency, I will not give up until I give it a try.
Just as I was thinking about what kind of medicinal herbs to practice with, a gray shadow flashed through the jungle.
Chen Mu's wrist trembled.
Woo!
puff!
The pebbles broke through the air and struck the gray shadow like lightning.
Chen Mu walked over curiously.
A large grey rabbit with shiny fur was lying there, its head had been smashed.
"An unexpected surprise, extra food, extra food!"
Living in the mountains, game is indispensable.
Chen Mu has been to the small market in the gathering area several times.
Every time I see people selling wild game such as rabbits and pheasants that were killed that day.
Once I saw someone selling half a wild boar. The bright red meat looked a bit creepy.
……
Carrying the rabbit to a place not far from the cabin, there was a spring stream.
There are lush vegetation along the way. In the past, they were only considered weeds, but now they can be identified and many of them can be used as medicine.
Clean up, dig a hole, pile up a circle of stones, and erect two wooden poles to make a simple grill.
Find the charcoal prepared for boiling the medicine and light it.
Chen Mu prepared to roast the fat rabbit.
“Too bad there’s no barbecue hot sauce.”
Just thinking about this, a lot of information about herbs suddenly flooded into my mind.
"Is this possible?" Chen Mu was surprised.
After thinking about it for a while, a recipe for barbecue ingredients came to my mind.
Many raw materials grow in the mountains and forests not far away, which can be said to be adapted to local conditions.
"No, this is bitter."
"This is not good. It tastes good but if you eat too much you will have diarrhea."
