Chapter 42 Medicinal Materials Tasting Conference
In the blink of an eye, the medicinal materials tasting conference was approaching, and all the major medicinal materials merchants gathered in Xingyuan Mansion, Huang Qingjun was naturally very busy.

Since the meeting was presided over by officials sent by the imperial court, and Yucheng had a record of dealing with officials, it was inconvenient to come forward, so he ordered the pharmaceutical workers behind the scenes to prepare the medicinal materials for the exhibition!

He knows the properties of medicines like the back of the palm of his hand, and everyone is amazed, but his status as a young master is well deserved!
Yucheng had been busy for half a day, and just sat down when Huang Qingjun's capable officer called Lai Fuer's housekeeper to check the progress of the medicinal materials, and happened to meet Yucheng.

Seeing that Yucheng presided over all the affairs in an orderly manner, he secretly admired him, and said with a smile on his face: "My lady is as beautiful as a fairy, and there are too many people who want to come to propose marriage, but we servants often discuss in private, think None of those rascals are good enough for her, only you can be considered as good-looking as my young lady!"

Yucheng said to him politely, "Uncle Lai Fuer, can you find me an empty house, I'm useful!"

Lai Fuer smiled and said: "That's hard to say, we have a lot of warehouses here, you can use them as you like!"

So he took Yucheng to find a well-ventilated room and said, "I don't know what my uncle is going to do?"

Yucheng smiled and said, "I once read a book written by a Taoist priest named Ge Hong, which recorded a method of refining elixir. I want to try it!"

Lai Fuer laughed loudly: "Okay, okay! Let me try it when you finish it!"

Seeing the playful look on his eyebrows, Yucheng knew that the theory of alchemy was done by Taoist priests, most of them used poisonous medicinal materials such as cinnabar and light powder, and many people died after taking it!
Immediately said embarrassingly: "I just thought it was fun and wanted to give it a try. In fact, the elixir I made may not be eaten yet!"

Lai Fuer laughed, and greeted people to prepare the things needed for alchemy for Yucheng, and left!

Yucheng went to the warehouse to find sulfur, kelp (kelp) and many other medicinal materials, lit the sulfur, and collected all the smoke...!
In fact, Yucheng didn't know that Ge Hong's so-called elixir was just a crude way of refining 'iodine'.

After working hard for a while, finally on the second day, seven or eight small purple pills were made. Seeing the bright color of the pills, Si Ying said, "Give me a taste!"

Yucheng quickly put it away and said, "This is not edible, I will keep it for use!"

Siying said: "Why, I am willing to give you everything, but you are reluctant to give me a few small pills?"

Knowing her temper, Yucheng looked helpless and said, "It's useless if you eat it, I'll make you something fun later!"

I also found Atractylodes macrocephala, Radix Paeoniae Alba, and Angelica dahurica, crushed them together, and handed them to Siying, "You make a paste with egg whites every night, and apply it on your face to keep your skin whiter and whiter! "

Si Ying smiled happily as if she had found a treasure, and said, "Do you have to use it at night, can you use it now?"

Yucheng smiled and said, "Yes!" Siying took the medicinal materials and left happily!
Two days later, the medicinal materials tasting conference came as scheduled, hosted by the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture, and the imperial court sent senior officials and guests to evaluate it!
Huang Qingjun and his entourage were busy in the meeting place, Yucheng found a bamboo hat and put it on his head, thinking: "There are no officials from Jiazhou in the meeting place, I will go to help, it seems that nothing will happen! "

Just about to go out, Siying stopped her and hugged her, saying: "I don't allow you to go, the last time I went to see the fun, I let sister Laner take away half of your soul, if you meet another Zhang Laner this time, Li Laner’s, then I’m left with an empty shell!”

Yucheng thought she was joking, and pulled her out again, but saw that her eyes were filled with tears, and she was really about to cry!

I couldn't help but panicked, and said: "If you don't go, you won't go, don't cry, okay?
I actually just want to see if our family will win! "

Siying said with a bitter face: "Then you are not allowed to go!"

Greet Aunt Ping loudly, let her go there and have a look, and then come back and tell them!
Aunt Ping frowned and said, "It's too far away from us. I'm not afraid of getting tired, but it takes time to go back and forth. Why don't you two hide in our warehouse nearby, so that it will be easier for me to report the news!"

Both of them felt very good, and came to a nearby warehouse, waiting for news from Aunt Ping!
Aunt Ping reported back and forth: "Now four or five companies have been eliminated, all due to the poor quality of medicinal materials, but the medicinal materials of our family and Gongsun's family are of high quality, there is no problem!"

She walked back and forth a few times, and then changed to Lai Fuer to run errands back and forth, she must be tired!

After noon, Lai Fuer came to report: "Miss, Uncle, we and Gongsun's family are the only ones left now. Some medicinal materials in his family are better than ours, but the price is [-]% lower than ours. I'm afraid this is a bad situation." Done!"

Yucheng was very surprised when he heard the words: "I personally watched the preparation of these medicinal materials, and I personally selected the ingredients. They are all top-notch. How can the Gongsun family be slightly better in quality?"

He said to Lai Fuer: "Uncle Lai Fuer, can you secretly bring some good medicinal materials from his house, I want to see?"

Lai Fuer turned around and left. After a cup of tea, he took a cloth bag and handed it to Yucheng, saying: "This is the medicinal material of his family!"

Yucheng opened it and saw that there were seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials, including Codonopsis pilosula, Chinese wolfberry, jujube, and Atractylodes macrocephala, all of which were brightly colored and extremely beautiful!
Yucheng picked up a goji berry, and saw that the goji berry was bright red and charming. He thought to himself, "I'm afraid I've traveled all over Ningxia, but I might not be able to find a few of these goji berries. They use this kind of measurement, and there are actually a few." people believe!"

He picked up Codonopsis pilosula and Atractylodes atractylodes and looked at them, and he was confident, and said, "Uncle Laifuer, please find some bowls of clean water!"

Lai Fu'er didn't know what Yucheng's intention was, but he thought that he was familiar with the properties of medicine, so it must be reasonable to come here, so he trotted to find some empty bowls and a jug of clean water.

Yucheng took out an elixir that he refined from his bosom, crushed it and put it in a bowl, poured clean water, and the water turned purple when it entered the bowl.

Yucheng put several herbs into the bowl, and after a while, the color of the water in the bowl gradually became lighter again.

Siying and Lai Fuer were very surprised, they both asked, Yucheng said: "This is the method my father taught, it is used to identify whether the medicinal materials have been smoked with sulfur!"

Lai Fuer suddenly realized, and said, "Young master, so this is why you practiced alchemy?"

Yucheng nodded, and was about to speak when Siying interjected: "Then the Gongsun family's herbs are smoked with sulfur, no wonder the color is bright!
You quickly gave Uncle Lai Fuer all the pills, and asked him to bring them to my father quickly...! "

Lai Fu'er took the pills from Yucheng, packed them carefully, picked up the kettle and went straight out, before leaving, she said something, now Gongsun Lianchun might regret it!

Yucheng was suddenly disappointed when he heard the words, but saw Siying smiling coquettishly, and said, "That's because her daughter has no eyes!"

The implication of her words was that she had great insight, and she chose Yucheng at a glance, making a great contribution to the family business!

It's been a long time since Lai Fu'er came back, Siying couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to go out when Aunt Ping came in with a happy smile and said: "The Gongsun family's medicinal materials are fake, and they have been disqualified!"

Siying was overjoyed and said, "Then our family won?"

Aunt Ping replied: "I haven't said that yet, but I think it's only our family left, and it's only natural that we win!"

Siying cheered happily, pulled Yucheng up and left, and said to Aunt Ping, "Tell my father later, we two will prepare a celebration banquet for him at home, so he must come!"

It wasn't until the end of the year and the beginning of the year that Huang Qingjun came home drunk. Seeing Yucheng and Siying smiling, he said, "Hahaha, today is really fun!"

Si Ying said angrily: "Father, why did you come here, we are waiting for you at home, we haven't even eaten yet!"

Huang Qingjun sat at the table and said: "Come, come, my good daughter, my good son-in-law, I respect you both!"

Yucheng hurriedly saluted and said, "This is ashamed, I should respect you!"

Huang Qingjun shook his head and said: "You are the only one who can afford it, by the way, and my good daughter, hahaha, if anyone says that he can't afford it, I will turn against him!"

Yu Bi grabbed the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, saying, "Drink quickly, and then let's change to a bigger bowl!"

…………

After drinking to his heart's content, Huang Qingjun didn't go back drunk until midnight!

Early the next morning, he came to Yucheng and Siying again, and said, "In a few days, it will be your wedding day, and I have notified all the shops in Xingyuan Mansion, as long as it is the one you two like, You two just take it, let them come to me to pay the bill, you two hurry up and prepare!"

Siying was overjoyed, and took Yucheng to shop all over the city. It was a waste of money. Buy whatever you see, whether it is useful or not, as long as Siying sees it, take it home!
In a blink of an eye, it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and seeing that it was going to be the eighteenth day of May, Lai Fu'er came rushing over on this day and said: "Miss, it's not good, the master suddenly fell ill for some reason, and now he is unconscious. Go and have a look!"
