Thinking about Xiao Lin's face when he left, Tian Xiaohai couldn't help but complain secretly. Looking at this rhythm, Xiao Lin already regarded himself as the uncle of the Mo family!
You deliberately want to study this "Alchemy Book" by yourself, isn't it just waiting for you to become the Mo family's son-in-law?
"No matter! Let's read it first and then talk!" After hesitating for a few seconds, Tian Xiaohai boldly opened the "Alchemy Book" and read it carefully.
Turning over the pages of the book, what comes into view are some relatively superficial theoretical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
Tian Xiaohai flipped through it quickly, looking a little disappointed.
Such a simple book is simply not suitable for people of his level to read!
When this thought first came into his mind, he was inadvertently attracted by the three words "alchemy stone" on the page of the book.
"The key to the quality of the elixir lies in the heat. The alchemy stone plays a vital role in controlling the heat..." Tian Xiaohai couldn't help but muttered softly: "The alchemy stone is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The top grade is
Heavenly Star Stone, Heavenly Thunder Stone, etc. are stones dropped from the sky, transformed by meteors, jade struck by lightning, etc. The middle grade are stones of spiritual beasts, such as hundreds of stones.
The crystals in the body of the Nian Turtle, the crystal elixir in the Nine-tailed Fox, the crystals in the spirit snake, etc.; low-grade alchemy stones are ores that can gather energy and heat up, and are hidden in the deep sea or deep mountains. Alchemy stones of different grades stimulate the birth of
Different flames are produced. If the temperature of the flames can be accurately controlled and the medicinal materials are properly combined, good or even high-quality elixirs can be refined..."
Seeing this, Tian Xiaohai was so happy that he couldn't help but temporarily close the pages of the book.
He took out the previous ruby, looked at it carefully, put it carefully on the stove, looked at it carefully, and murmured to himself: "Snake is one of the twelve earthly branches, and the five elements belong to fire.
No wonder this snake has a panda-heated energy-concentrating gem inside its body, which coincides with the twelve earthly branches. Let’s see how it is introduced in the book!”
Tian Xiaohai continued to look down, becoming more and more fascinated.
It turns out that this is a book that goes from the shallower to the deeper. Only in the middle part does it begin to explain some key points of alchemy, and even how to choose medicinal materials and store elixirs, etc.
Tian Xiaohai read the contents of the book carefully with a quick eye. As he read, his stomach growled involuntarily.
He touched his belly with his hand and glanced at the cutting board next to him. Only then did he realize that the snake meat had been cut and had not yet been cooked in the pot.
"Put the snake meat and ingredients in and cook it first! Watch and wait for the snake meat soup to cook." Tian Xiaohai poured the snake meat into the pot and was about to turn on the fire.
His hand accidentally touched the alchemy stone, and he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind. He patted his forehead and said: "Since this alchemy stone has the effect of promoting and controlling fire, let's try using it to cook snake meat soup first.
Bar!"
As he spoke, he secretly summoned the thunder energy, placed the ruby in the palm of his hand, and secretly thought that the thunder energy in his hand would gather into the gem in his hand.
As his thoughts deepened, the palm of his hand became hotter and hotter, until with a "whoosh" sound, the small stone in his hand suddenly burst into flames.
"Success! This alchemy stone is really a good thing. It can be used directly as fuel. According to the description in the book, one alchemy stone can make more than nine pills. It should be more than enough to make a pot of snake meat soup."
Tian Xiaohai smiled, put the ruby under the pot, and let it heat.
Not long after, I heard a "gud-dong-dong" sound coming from the pot.
"It's bubbling, let's try to control the heat!" Tian Xiaohai tried to follow the introduction in the book, using his fingers and thoughts to move the alchemy stone, and he saw the flames getting bigger and smaller.
It was not easy to control at first, but after several exercises, I was finally able to control the flames in my hands freely.
After a while, a faint scent of snake meat wafted from the pot.
"Snake meat soup smells so good!" Tian Xiaohai couldn't help but sniff.
He scooped up a mouthful of snake meat soup with a spoon and took a small sip. It was sweet and delicious, and it was really delicious.
"Continue reading, first turn down the heat a little." Tian Xiaohai tried to turn down the flame of the alchemy stone, and continued reading while holding the "Alchemy Book" in one hand.
He quickly read through the essentials of alchemy in the book with his quick eyes and quick mind, and then he closed the book with great joy.
"We're done! Ladle the snake meat soup into the pot first and prepare to share it with everyone." Tian Xiaohai ladles the snake meat soup into the soup basin.
"Wow! What a delicious snake meat soup!" Xiao Lin entered the kitchen again. As soon as she entered, she was fascinated by the strong smell of snake meat.
"Here, Xiao Lin pays back." Tian Xiaohai personally scooped a small bowl of snake meat soup for Xiao Lin.
"Okay!" Xiao Lin picked up the bowl and took a sip. He was immediately attracted by the snake meat soup: "It tastes good, it tastes so good!"
"Here, bring me a bowl, and I'll bring soup to everyone." Tian Xiaohai scooped the snake meat soup into the soup basin, held the steaming soup basin in both hands, and walked straight to the rest room.
.
"This snake broth is still steaming! Aren't you afraid of burning your hands?" Xiao Lin shouted worriedly.
"It's okay, my hands are thick!" Tian Xiaohai responded with a smile, and as if nothing happened, he quickly ran to the rest room with the soup basin.
"Let me go, are this guy's hands made of iron?" Xiao Lin's eyes widened in surprise.
After sighing, she packed some bowls and spoons in the kitchen, and then quickly followed.
At this time, Mo Wanqing was busy refining elixirs in front of the cauldron, and Mo Xiangya on the side kept passing medicinal materials to her.
"Fresh snake meat soup is here! Everyone must be hungry! Come on, pay for my snake meat soup first." Tian Xiaohai entered the rest room holding the steaming snake meat soup in his hands.
“It smells so good!”
“What a delicious snake meat soup!”
“This smells so good!”
Everyone couldn't help but praise him and gathered around Tian Xiaohai.
"Come, let's all drink soup together!" Xiao Lin had already come in with a bowl and a spoon.
Tian Xiaohai put the spoon on the table and immediately came to the cauldron. He smiled and shouted at Mo Wanqing and Mo Xiangya who were busy: "Miss Mo, Uncle Mo, you two go and drink the snake first."
Let’s make some broth! I’ll watch it for you.”
"No, now is the critical moment. It will take another two hours to form the first layer of elixir." Mo Wanqing responded with a serious face, then turned to Mo Xiangya and shouted: "
Dad, you go ahead! There is no need to refill the medicine now, I can handle it all by myself."
"No, I'm going. If anything happens, no one will take care of you." Mo Xiangya waved his hand.
"But it will take at least two hours to form the first layer of elixir. You haven't eaten anything all night. Your stomach is not good to begin with and can easily cause stomach pain." Mo Wanqing advised her father with concern:
"Dad, go get something to drink! I should be fine if I can stand alone for more than ten minutes."
Mo Xiangya was reluctant to go, so Tian Xiaohai walked over quickly and persuaded with a smile: "Uncle Mo, go drink some soup first! I'll take over for you for a while."
"Dad, just go ahead! Arita Xiaohai will be fine for ten to twenty minutes." Mo Wanqing replied with a smile on her face.
"Okay! Then I'll go drink a bowl of soup first! Dad will come for you later." Mo Xiangya nodded knowingly, then turned to Tian Xiaohai and said: "Mr. Tian, thank you for your hard work!"
"You're welcome!" Tian Xiaohai responded, already arriving at the cauldron.
Mo Xiangya quickly stepped back and went to drink snake meat soup.
"Miss Mo, let me help you for a while!" Tian Xiaohai saw that Mo Wanqing was so tired that sweat was dripping from her forehead, and she couldn't help feeling a little distressed and said: "Look at you, you are sweating from exhaustion."
"It's okay. I'll work on it for another hour or two and then I can rest for a few minutes. The first layer of membrane will form soon." Mo Wanqing wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand and replied with a smile: "First
The elixir film is very important, and we cannot take it lightly now. We must keep a close eye on it.”
"It won't take that long! I'll hold it for you for a while. I guess the first layer of elixir will be formed by the time your dad comes back from drinking the soup." Tian Xiaohai replied to Mo Wanqing with a smile.
While he was talking, he had quietly taken out the red alchemy stone from his kit bag.
