The most cattle country medical concubine

Chapter 872
The people around saw her doing this, but they couldn't understand the reason behind it.After all, these people are not as proficient in medicine as Li Min, and they know even less about the equipment for decoction.

Li Min asked Ziye to cover the lid again, put it back on the table, coughed lightly, and didn't pay attention to the magpie's expression, but said: "You found a purple sand pot for my concubine by accident. .Although the material used in this pot is not authentic black mud, it is better than being deceived that it is not even purple sand."

The magpie was dumbfounded after hearing her words, what black mud, what purple sand.The medicine king pot is a purple sand pot, not the pot of the deep sea dragon king?

Li Min looked around at the maids and women in her room with confused expressions on their faces, thinking that they would all work with Dr. Li in the future, it is necessary to popularize these common senses, and then said: "Zisha, in fact, is the same as Tao. A kind of clay, briefly speaking, is the same as our common ceramics. The only difference is that there are only a few places in Zisha, and there are such clays. This kind of clay is very special, especially because it is made of this kind of clay. The out-of-the-box containers are used for cooking, making tea, boiling medicine, etc. The taste of the boiled things is better, so they are regarded as top-grade. Good purple sand is very expensive, and it is hard to find a pot.”

Aunt Shang thought of the Ming Dynasty Palace, there seemed to be several purple clay teapots displayed in the palace of the Empress Dowager or the Emperor.Sometimes the emperor and the empress dowager are not reconciled to using them to make tea.The reason is very simple. It is said that some of the pots are old pots, and the craftsmen who made them have passed away.

The price of purple sand is not only due to the special material of purple sand, but also to the craftsmanship.A good master craftsman, pottery made of good purple sand clay, will last forever and is irreplaceable.

"Purple clay is generally divided into purple clay, red clay and green clay. These three colors of clay can be mixed to make pots of various colors. However, there is indeed a kind of black clay in purple sand clay, and the pots made are pure black clay. Black is the most precious thing. The output of black mud is very small, and it cannot be said that it was taken from some deep-sea dragon king. Like other purple sand mud, there are only a few places, so it is more expensive than gold. Not without reason."

Hearing what Li Min said, other people expressed doubts: "Is this pot made of black mud?"

"No, it's not pure black mud. If it's made of real pure black mud, it will be worthy of the reputation of the Medicine King Pot."

It's not made of black mud, why is it black?

"Because black clay is rare and very precious, and there are old soil and new soil for making teapots with purple sand clay. Valuable. Some craftsmen are reluctant to make pots after finding a good old soil. It is all about profit. There is not enough black clay, and the pots made are not enough to sell. So what should I do? So someone came up with a shoddy method. Mixing straw into the soil and processing it again, turning the ordinary purple clay pot into a The value of a black clay pot can be doubled by hundreds or even thousands."

Everyone couldn't help thinking about these hateful merchants, who would do all kinds of tricks for money.Fortunately, their master is extremely smart, and he can tell that it is a fake and shoddy product at a glance.

When the magpie heard this, her face turned slightly pale.

Li Min had been looking at the amount of money she had reported earlier to buy the pot.

The magpie immediately knelt down and begged, "Young Mistress, this servant has been cheated, and this servant will take the pot to settle accounts with this person!"

"How do you go to someone to settle the score?" Li Min said lightly, "Did someone tell you that this is a black clay pot? They didn't say that, they said it was made of mud from the Lord of the Deep Sea Dragon, then , Can the mud from the deep sea compare with the black mud from purple sand? There is a clear price tag on the black mud pot on the market. If he says it is a black mud pot, you can say he lied to you. There is no comparable price, if he says how much he will sell you, if you believe it, then there is nothing to say."

Magpie's face turned completely pale.

After looking at her face, Li Min said: "Okay, you can try it. Since you want to help my concubine get justice so much."

"Slave, servant, let the shopkeeper change the price!" Magpie knocked his head after saying this, and rushed out of the house with the pot in his arms.

The others in the room were a little surprised to see her filled with righteous indignation.Thinking that Li Min understood what he said so clearly, can this magpie really get back the money from the merchant who swallowed it?
After all, Aunt Shang was a bit scheming, and when she led Ziye out of the door, she said, "Young Mistress has already figured it out."

"See that pot—" Ziye questioned.

"No, the magpie is greedy."

Ziye was enlightened this time.I see.

This magpie must have negotiated a discounted price from the shopkeeper of Huashitang, so before reporting the price difference to Li Min, he might have swallowed the difference first.Where do you put the silver you swallowed?Needless to say, it must be important to change the bank note and send it back to my hometown.Therefore, the magpie has two things to do right now, one is to settle accounts with the shopkeeper, and the other is to rush to the money store to spit out the money it has embezzled.Otherwise, Li Min's investigation will not pay for her two lives.

"This magpie is not stupid. After hearing so much from the young mistress, I immediately knew that the shopkeeper really lied to her." Aunt Shang said.

If it is really an expensive black clay teapot, to be honest, the discount price Huashitang gave to the magpie is a loss price.Merchants will never do business at a loss, even if it is really a favor.

The magpie ran back to Huashitang to ask for justice, and when he ran to the gate of Huashitang, he suddenly remembered the noble lady he met before buying the pot today.Originally, the noble lady said that she would charge the account to herself.If she hadn't been greedy for the price difference discount, it would be good to let that noble lady buy it.

Now that he has not met that noble lady, Magpie can't help but feel a little worried, and he is really worried.Could it be that he was set up by those two partners.

indeed so.Why did the maid from Princess Li's room come out to buy medicine pots from Daming.Who can believe it?Princess Li is a genius doctor, and she owns the famous Xu's medicine hall, do I need to look for medicine pots everywhere?What's more, this servant girl doesn't know medicine at first glance, even looking at the medicine pot, she doesn't know anything about medicine, she has a face that doesn't know anything about medicine.If you want to lie, who can you lie to?
