Wu Bei went out early the next day and went to the pharmacy to see if he could buy some medicine.
As soon as he went out, he saw the girl named Min'er cleaning the entrance of the courtyard. She also swept the road outside Wu Bei's entrance.
Wu Bei looked at the clean road and smiled: "Thank you."
Min'er quickly said: "Good morning, young master. My name is Min'er."
Wu Bei nodded: "Hello Min'er, have you had breakfast?"
Min'er shook her head: "Not yet, I won't have breakfast until half an hour later."
Wu Beidao: "I'll bring you some meat buns later."
Yesterday Wu Bei heard the conversation between mother and daughter. Min'er said that she had not eaten meat for half a month. After her husband passed away, Min'er's mother could only earn a little money by washing and mending clothes for others, and her income was meager.
I can't even eat enough, let alone eat meat.
Min'er's figure is obviously a little thin, which is obviously due to lack of nutrition.
Min'er was happy but embarrassed: "Sir, meat buns are very expensive, don't buy them."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "You help me clean the house, I am thanking you."
He first went to the medicine shop and found that the prices of the medicinal materials were very high. He selected them and bought thirty medicinal materials, which cost him more than one thousand three hundred taels of gold.
After buying the medicine, I passed by a Sanfeng steamed bun shop. The steamed bun shop was very lively. Their steamed buns were delicious. People with good conditions nearby liked to come here to buy steamed buns.
Wu Bei stepped forward and found that the buns were as big as a fist and full of fillings, so he bought four beef buns, four pork buns, four mutton buns, and two large portions of egg sour soup.
Taking the buns, he walked home.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I found Na Min'er sitting on the door pillow in front of the door, eagerly waiting for him to come back.
He smiled and handed one of the six steamed buns to Min'er, as well as a portion of egg sour soup.
Smelling the fragrance, Min'er's eyes were shining and she said, "Sir, these big meat buns are from Sanfeng's?"
Wu Bei: "Yes, can you recognize it?"
Min'er said: "When I was seven years old, my father took me to eat there once. It was delicious." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. She obviously thought of her deceased father.
Wu Bei: "Let's take advantage of the situation and eat it."
"Thank you, sir."
Wu Beidao: "Call me Brother Wu from now on."
"Well, Brother Wu!"
When Wu Bei came home, Min'er held up a paper bag of meat buns to show to her mother like a treasure.
When the woman saw the six big meat buns, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed and asked, "Min'er, where did the meat buns come from?"
Min'er smiled and said, "It was given to me by Brother Wu next door. In the morning I saw that the road in front of his door was dirty, so I swept it for him. He said it was a reward for me."
The woman glared at her daughter and said, "You kid, you eat other people's meat buns after just a few passes. How could it be reasonable?" After saying that, she was about to take the buns back and return them to Wu Bei.
Min'er was anxious: "Mom, please, please, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Is this okay? After eating Brother Wu's meat buns, I will go back and help him clean up."
The woman stopped, thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, go and eat, greedy girl!"
Min'er smiled "hehe" and took out a meat bun and gave it to the woman: "Mom, you eat first."
The woman also hadn't tasted meat for some time. Holding the bun, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But he said that when Wu Bei returned home, he put the medicinal materials into the pot one by one and boiled them. The magic weapon he stored in the Hades universe cannot be used now, so he cannot take out the things in it, including the alchemy furnace.
Without an alchemy furnace, he could only use the method of refining medicine to make full use of the power of these medicinal materials.
He has tasted all these medicinal materials and understood their medicinal properties. Now, he wants to refine a potion that can help people at the third level of Qi training break through to the fourth level of Qi training.
Once this kind of medicine is developed, it will definitely sell well, and he will be able to make some money by then.
When he put the last medicinal ingredient in, he heard someone knocking on the door, and he said: "The door is not closed, come in." Without asking, he knew it was Min'er. This girl
, I must have felt embarrassed after eating his meat buns, so I took the initiative to help him with his work.
Seeing Wu Bei making medicine, Miner asked curiously: "Brother Wu, what are you doing making medicine?"
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Make pills. Min'er, you came just in time, I need your help. There is a bag of sweet potato powder next to it, you pour a bowl and put it in the basin."
Min'er nodded, washed her hands, and did as Wu Bei said.
When she finished pouring, Wu Bei said: "There are still nine basins, pour a bowl of flour into each."
Min'er still did as she was told. When she poured the last pot, Wu Bei's medicine was almost ready. He smelled it, then observed the color of the medicine soup, and the spoon in his hand turned into phantoms, and he drank it in the shortest possible time.
All the medicine in the pot was transferred to ten basins.
Then, he stirred with a spoon and rolled out ten fist-sized pieces of dough as quickly as possible. It looked dark and exuded a faint medicinal aroma.
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Min'er, roll all these doughs into pills, they cost three yuan each."
After saying that, he took out a scale and put three qian weights on it to facilitate Min'er's weighing.
Min'er said "Oh" and started rubbing the pills.
Wu Bei went to the side and continued to cook the second pot of medicine and said, "Min'er, you will help me make it from now on. I will give you two taels of gold every day."
Min'er was surprised: "Two taels? Brother Wu, that's too much. That Liu Jia Chang only makes one tael of gold a month."
Wu Bei: "The things I ask you to do are more precise and you have to learn them carefully, so the wages are higher."
After hearing this, Min'er felt like she was in a dream and smiled: "Well, Min'er must study hard!"
On that day, Wu Bei boiled three pots of medicinal soup and rolled more than 1,500 pills. After drying the pills, he asked Min'er to put them into two-inch-high porcelain bottles, with ten pills in each.
The two of them were too busy, so Min'er called her mother Zhang over to help. Zhang made the lunch, which tasted very good, and Wu Bei was very satisfied.
In the afternoon, Wu Bei took the porcelain vase and came to a busy street in the city. He laid out a table and a tablecloth from the shop, then placed the porcelain vase on it, and then started shouting.
"Look, take a look, the Five Elements Qi-Building Pill! After taking it for the third level of Qi training, you can practice the fourth level of Qi training within three days; if you take it for a long time, you can also successfully achieve the seventh level of Qi training!"
There are many people selling wild medicine like this, but as Wu Bei shouted, there are too few people who can help break through the third level of Qi training. You must know that the streets are full of people with three levels of Qi training!
Therefore, when Wu Bei yelled, people immediately gathered around him. A big fat man asked: "I said, are you telling the truth? I am a third-level qi practitioner. I take your medicine and I will have a breakthrough immediately."
?』
Wu Bei took out a porcelain bottle and said: "There are ten pills in this bottle. Most people can break through after taking three or five pills. If this big brother doesn't believe it, then try it on the spot. If it doesn't work, I won't charge you a penny and I'll give it back."
I’ll give you one hundred taels of gold!”
"What? Just give me money if it doesn't work?" The crowd suddenly exploded, expressing their desire to give it a try.
Wu Beidao: "But if it is effective, the price of this bottle of pills is one thousand taels! So if you don't have one thousand taels of silver, please don't try it easily."
When he said this, no one dared to try it easily. After all, it was only a thousand taels, and most people couldn't afford a thousand taels!
"Let me try!"
Suddenly, a white-faced young man came out, reached out and picked up a porcelain bottle. He smelled it first, then swallowed the two pills, and then sat on a chair to feel the power of the medicine.
