Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 255 Leizhou and the Hairy Whale

The conflict Zhang Wei imagined did not appear, and of course, there will not be too harmonious scenes. This is not a Japanese light novel.

Chen Zhirui moved back to her small courtyard.This compound is very large, there are more than a dozen courtyards, which is completely enough to live in.

She also came at dinner time.She ate very quickly, ignoring Hu Qinghao's teasing of Zhang Wei, and returned to her small courtyard to rest after eating.

Xiaoqian was not greatly affected.She still took care of Zhang Wei's basic necessities of life as before, and the three sisters of the Hu family agreed tacitly not to intervene in this matter.

A harmonious family needs to be built together, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is the best solution.

..................................................................

After a few days, a person came in a hurry.

The person who came was carrying a long spear, riding a fine horse, and wearing armor. It was Taoist Qingping.He is eligible to donate life, and he can wear armor.

But he did not come empty-handed, but brought a huge wild boar.

This wild boar weighs at least eight or nine hundred catties, and its bristles are a foot long.Taoist Qingping said calmly: "Last night at the top of the mountain, this wild boar may want to eat XX for dinner. XX thought that he couldn't come empty-handed, so he brought this wild boar."

In order to keep the wild boar fresh, the wild boar's spine was broken, and the spine was broken. It was a high paraplegic and could not move.

Zhang Wei looked at the wild boar and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qingping has a heart."

Daoist Qingping clasped his fists to Zhang Wei and said, "Since you want to obey orders under Daoyou Zhang, I still call you an adult, you can call me Qingping or Zhao Qingping."

Taoist Qingping's surname is Zhao.

Zhang Wei nodded, it's just a title, it doesn't matter.

After leaving Zhao Qingping to eat in the mansion, Zhao Qingping said: "My lord, is there a farm or a manor? You can live there. There are female relatives at home, so it's inconvenient."

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "Of course there is a farm at home. How about this, after you move to the farm, help me train the family members in the family. They practice physical exercises, but they are not good at weapons and fists. You can help me Tune it up. I still have three thousand fox soldiers, if you don't mind the trouble, you can also help me tune it up."

After hearing this, Zhao Qingping showed a slight smile on his face, and said, "This is exactly what a certain person is good at."

Zhao Qingping is a quiet person. Apart from practicing boxing, he usually reads books.After chatting with Zhang Wei for a while, he took the big wild boar to the farm.

The wild boar is too big, Zhang's house can't finish it, so it's better to take it to the farm.

....................................................................................

Soon, the first snow fell from the sky.

In December, Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingping set off for Leizhou.

Leizhou is the southernmost state of Dagan, but unlike Tianmen County, Leizhou has been prosperous since ancient times.The estuary of the Pearl River is in Leizhou, where the climate is warm and the water is plentiful. It is the best place for agricultural development, so it has been a prosperous place since ancient times.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingping set out, will enter Sichuan and go south, pass through the Sichuan-Shuchuan Plain, enter the land of Nanman, and finally take a boat down the Pearl River from there.

Anyway, if you have time, you don't have to rush to fly there. Wouldn't it be a good thing to see the great rivers and mountains?

This time Zhang Wei didn't bring anyone, because Qu Long didn't invite anyone else either.After clarifying with the women at home, he set off with Zhao Qingping.

The further south you go, the higher the temperature.When we arrived at the Sichuan-Shu Plain, there was very little snow here, and there was only a shallow layer on the road.

Shuzhong is the territory of the Shushan Sword Sect. Now that I think about it, Gui Yi and Min Jianrou seem to have been in seclusion for a long time, and they didn't go to Tianmen County to find him.

From the Chuanshu Plain, along the Minjiang River, you will arrive at the land of Nanman.

There are still witches and people in the land of the Southern Barbarians, and there are also many goblins.Zhang Wei didn't stop there either, but continued to head south.Down the Pearl River.

At the end of December, Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei finally arrived in Leizhou.

Leizhou is about the size of Jinhua Mansion, which is built at the mouth of the Pearl River.Not far from Leizhou is Luofu Mountain.There is the famous Louvre of Waidanpai on it.

There are many monks in Leizhou, and medicinal materials from all over the world are gathered here. The style of medicine and food here is very similar. Adults and children can understand some pharmacology. They also pay attention to a balanced nutrition when eating and drinking, and moderate cold and heat.

People in Leizhou like to take medicine even more. In their words, it means "cure the disease if you are sick, and protect yourself if you are not sick." 'The high-ranking officials and dignitaries take pills made by monks, while ordinary people take small pills made by pharmacies or made by themselves.

This kind of atmosphere made Zhang Wei shake his head, because the medicine is [-]% poisonous, don't the people here not be afraid of causing problems?
People here certainly understand this truth, but they believe that as long as they eat reasonably, the benefits to the body will be greater than the harm.

Although it was the winter moon at this time, the temperature in Leizhou was very high, and most of them were only wearing single clothes.

When Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingping just entered Leizhou City, they heard someone shouting: "The big ship has entered the port! This time there are top-notch goods!"

Hearing the news, people on the street immediately flocked to the port.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingping looked at each other and said, "Why don't we join in the fun?"

Anyway, I came to play, of course, I can go wherever the excitement is.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingping hurriedly rode their horses and followed the flow of people to the port.

At this time, the port is already crowded with people, and many people are watching the fun.Then Zhang Wei saw a big ship slowly entering the port, and behind the big ship was pulling something twice the size of the ship.

Zhang Wei took a closer look and immediately said, "What a big sea beast!"

It was a whale-like thing, with feathers on its body, but in the shape of a fish.Zhang Wei thought it was Kunpeng.But Kunpeng is a legendary divine bird, it is impossible to be beaten to death and dragged back.

When the sea beast was dragged closer, someone who knew the goods at the port shouted, "It's a hairy whale! What a big hairy whale."

"Towel? What is this?" Zhang Wei complained.

Hearing his complaints, someone beside him smiled and said, "You must be an outsider. This hairy whale is a good thing. Its feathers are very warm. It can make a lot of money when it is transported to the north. Its meat can also be eaten." , make fish balls, add some tangerine peel, it is the top tangerine peel fish ball."

"Its skin can be made into leather clothes, but it is fried in oil after drying. The taste is also very good. The bones can be used to make soup, and the old fire soup is very good. My grandma has an old fire that has been boiled for more than 100 years. Soup, that’s worth nothing.”

"The last thing is its shark's fin, which ordinary people can't eat... I don't know what it tastes like."

This person was talking eloquently, and as he talked, his saliva flowed down unsatisfactorily.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingping were dumbfounded.

At this time, a group of people got off the boat.Most of these people are dressed as Taoist priests, and there are also warriors in strong attire.

At this time, a dozen warriors 'flyed' out from the pier.Holding hooks of the same size as theirs, they 'flyed' directly onto the sea beast.

The "flying" of a warrior is lightness.Standing three feet above the ground and flying ten feet away is a description of lightness kung fu.

These ten or so warriors inserted their big hooks into the fish, and then gestured towards the port.

In an instant, Zhang Wei heard the sound of the machine expanding, and then the hooks were tightened, and the huge sea beast was pulled towards the port little by little.

Not long after, the huge sea beast landed on the harbor.

Then there was a loud sound at the port.

"The hairy whale captured by Tonghai Trading Company today will be divided for us by Master Jiang Sitong, the owner of Sitong Martial Arts Hall! Welcome everyone!"

While speaking, a figure jumped up from the crowd, and jumped onto the back of the huge hairy whale.

The man cupped his hands to the surroundings and said, "It's my honor to be able to decompose this huge hairy whale. Let's not talk nonsense, and I'll make a fool of myself!"

After finishing speaking, he roared: "The knife comes!"

At this time, his disciple next to him threw a knife.

Jiang Sitong took the treasured sword at once, and slashed hard at the hairy whale below him!
In an instant, the long knife sank into the hairy whale's body, and then he pushed the long knife to run on the hairy whale's body.

As he ran, the hairy whale under him was also cut open.

Then individual pieces of feathers are chipped off first.

At this time, a voice shouted: "Beitong Commercial Bank, 500 taels!"

When the sound fell, Jiang Sitong on the fur whale kicked off a pile of feathers.Land where the sound comes from.

"Bafang Commercial Bank, 500 taels!" Another voice shouted.

Then, the price gradually increased, and when the last part of the feathers were cut off, it had already risen to 800 taels.

Zhang Wei took a look and understood, this is the auction.However, there should still be some rules.

After the feathers are divided, the rest is the fish skin.

At this time, a clear voice sounded: "Master Qian Baiqiang, I need the skin of a whale to refine a batch of fish skin pills. I need half of the fish skin. I hope you will show me some face."

After he finished speaking, someone echoed: "Since it's Pill Master Qian's face, it is natural to give it."

When Jiang Sitong, who was standing on the fish, heard it, he immediately followed the knife and cut off half of the hair whale's skin.

At this time, the people around Zhang Wei said in a low voice: "This Qian Baiqiang can refine a fish skin pill, and dare to be called a pill master? Shameless! It's a pity that there are so many fish skins, how many meals are enough?" .”

Hearing this man's complaints, Zhang Wei shook his head slightly.

Taoist priests in the Louvre are good at alchemy and practice alchemy.But the road to alchemy is also difficult. Many people have been burning fire boys all their lives, and they don't know how to refine elixir.

Just like Mo Qingyou back then, although she was extremely smart and capable of spells, no matter how Zhang Wei taught her, she just couldn't make alchemy!
As the saying goes, the relationship between the siblings who are not alchemists is harmonious, but the siblings who are not alchemists turn against each other and become enemies!It is obvious that the heat is well controlled, the order of putting the medicinal materials is correct, and the timing is also good, but the medicine cannot be refined...

It's not scientific at all, it's just fantasy.

The Louvre is the same, most of the disciples have been burning fire boys all their lives, and most of the rest can only refine one or two kinds of elixirs.That's it, they can all be called alchemists.

Only the last few can refine a variety of elixirs, and even study and innovate elixirs.

However, alchemy is one aspect.The fire-burning boys here are tyrannical, and there are many of them with high cultivation bases.

It's just that he has high fire skills, his cultivation is as high as the sky, and he's just a boy who burns fire, so he still has to help the alchemist!

After the skin is divided, the meat is divided. There are a lot of meat, and most of them are bought by local businessmen, because this thing is not very valuable.

After dividing the meat, it becomes the bone.This thing is worth more than meat.It was divided up by many people again.The bone of this hairy whale is very interesting. Its bone quality is very dense. It cannot be tasted after being stewed once. It needs to be stewed continuously. The longer the time, the sweeter and more nutritious the soup will be.

Ordinary people buy a bone that is as long as an arm, and it can be passed on for several generations.In Leizhou, in a well-established family, who doesn’t have a few pots of old-fashioned soup made of hairy whale bones.

Even when an earthquake moves, and when the house is burned due to flooding, the first thing to rescue is this pot of good soup.More than a hundred years old hot soup is really worth more than a house!

If any melon is ignorant and spills the old fire soup at home, it will really break the bones...

There used to be a legend that someone knocked over the 300-year-old soup in the family. Frightened, this person gave up his huge family business, went directly to the mountains to become a monk, and eventually became an arhat!

In addition to stewing soup, hairy whale bones can also be used as medicine, made into armor, and used to refine weapons, so this thing is also valuable.

And finally, the guts of the hairy whale.

The liver, spleen, lung and kidney are not very valuable, so they can be bought back for cooking, and they are also good for feeding dogs and raising fish.

But the guts of hairy whales are something else.There may be ambergris in this thing, which is a precious medicinal material.

If there is no ambergris, this stomach is worthless, at most it can be used as fertilizer.But with ambergris, it is very likely to be worth more than a whole hair whale.

Shrewd firms have developed a game similar to betting on stones. They don't open their stomachs themselves, but sell them to gamblers at high prices.Anyway, the firm wants to squeeze out the last bit of value.

At this time, the intestines were pulled out, and immediately a group of people swarmed up the intestines like a hill.

This thing does not restrict people to buy it, ordinary people can also try their luck.Because intestines can be cut and sold to others, if ambergris is found in a certain intestine, it will be a big profit!
The unknown person next to Zhang Wei also rushed over, apparently also for this opportunity.

The people here are betting on the intestines, and the people over there are dividing the last shark's fin.

The shark's fin of the hairy whale is an excellent material for alchemy, and it is also an excellent food material.The biggest function of this shark fin is to boil it into isinglass.This is the best isinglass, which is needed for alchemy, cooking and even refining equipment.

These materials were naturally taken away by the Taoist priests of the Louvre.The Taoist priests in the Louvre Palace were rich and powerful, and basically no one robbed them. They could only watch the Taoist priests pack these things on the carriage and transport them back to Luofu Mountain.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "I found it! I found it! I sent it! I sent it!"

Zhang Wei turned his head to look, but there was a person holding a fist and a piece of yellow ointment, crying and laughing there.

The others looked at him enviously, and then began to rummage through the intestines they bought.

Zhang Wei's heart moved, knowing that this person must have found Ambergris!
