Chapter 22
After reaching an agreement with Shopkeeper Wei, Wu Chengyu immediately took out fifty taels of silver to redeem the jade pendant; Shopkeeper Wei did not refuse to accept it either, businessmen understand best how to deal with people, and he could tell Wu Chengyu was not someone who liked owing favors, money and goods settled, nothing fairer.
However, the favor of introducing Beggar Sect people could not be repaid by Shopkeeper Wei's previous assistance alone, so Wu Chengyu also asked Shopkeeper Wei to do two things with a clear conscience.
First, find a clean house to serve as temporary lodging for Wu Chengyu and A Ku, he had already grown tired of being a beggar living in ruined houses.
Second, he took paper and brush, wrote down the medicines needed for Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment, hoping Shopkeeper Wei would purchase them on his behalf.
Fortunately, although Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment's medicinal effects are extraordinary, its wonder lies mainly in the proportion of medicines and preparation method, the medicines themselves are not expensive, did not exceed Wu Chengyu's budget.
Shopkeeper Wei only got the medicine list, with just these he could not deduce the Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment formula, Wu Chengyu certainly did not want his foundation for standing in the world leaked out.
Without realizing it, Wu Chengyu did not discover his way of handling matters seemed vastly different from his previous life.
A state-owned enterprise middle manager, being smooth in all directions is a must, Wu Chengyu handled relations up and down well, smooth to the point of being somewhat oily.
He never minded owing others favors, nor others owing him, only thus would there be more dealings between them, broad connections and many methods when getting things done.
Now besides A Ku, he seemed to have drawn boundaries with everyone, repay kindness with kindness, repay favors with favors, absolutely never allowing himself to be in debt.
On the surface, Wu Chengyu himself had not truly fused into this world, he observed the people and things here from an outsider's perspective.
Shopkeeper Wei handled matters very effectively, not long after he found a small courtyard, the courtyard at the end of the Fang Market, originally a Four Treasures of the Study shop, poorly managed, the courtyard mortgaged to Shopkeeper Wei.
Small courtyard front shop back courtyard, the front shop very small, shop door in an inconspicuous corner of the Fang Market, walk into back courtyard, only two rooms and a kitchen, courtyard not large, roughly thirty-plus square meters, in the courtyard still an old elm tree, under the tree stone table and stone stools.
Shopkeeper Wei very attentive, not only let runners sweep inside and out, also equipped all daily necessities.
A Ku very happy, bedroom has bed, bed has thick quilt, she never had her own bed.
Still that old elm tree, she looked drooling, wait till next month can pick elm seeds eat elm seed rice, A Ku usually able to eat the most delicious taste.
Now pocket has money, life originally should be beautiful, Wu Chengyu first took A Ku to clothing store bought several sets little girl's clothes, all flowery green, in Wu Chengyu's view very ugly, but A Ku careful not dare touch, afraid dirty the clothes.
Wu Chengyu also bought several sets for himself, all ordinary scholar robes, let tailor make smaller, now wearing a bit noble, again martial forest person disguise, already no longer suit Wu Chengyu, however these clothes are Feng Heng personally sewed, Wu Chengyu received Wu Mianfeng influence, extremely cherish, must well collect.
Then Wu Chengyu also bought soapberry, took A Ku back to small courtyard, used kitchen stove burn big pot water, pour into wooden tub, first taught A Ku how use soapberry, let her beautiful beautiful wash hot bath, wait A Ku wash bath change new clothes come out, see her beautiful beautiful appearance, Wu Chengyu heart only feel unprecedented warmth.
Let kind people possess happiness, let evil people ten thousand deaths not redeem, only thus will there be no regret.
Following days, Wu Chengyu only did two things.
Daytime took A Ku everywhere find good eat, also found doctor give A Ku prepare some nourish body medicine, A Ku's body one day better than one day, face has meat, no longer skinny bones appearance, even height also tall some.
Night came, Wu Chengyu took Shopkeeper Wei sent medicines, bit by bit try preparation, this matter he impossible delegate others, himself again completely no foundation, only can follow Bamboo Slips on operation process bit by bit try.
First two nights made things except black color, with Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment completely no relation, others is black jade, Wu Chengyu made out is black baba, Bone-Healing Ointment finished product fragrant cool, Wu Chengyu hand this lump except stink unbearable, still carry inexplicable sulfur smell.
Wu Chengyu cannot help open window, immediately let next door play cloth tiger A Ku think he himself hide eat shit, A Ku rare laugh not out, almost cried.
So toss several days, finally make one barely resemble bit shape thing, with Bamboo Slips describe true product have five parts resemblance.
This already is Wu Chengyu able do limit, Wu Chengyu worry almost fall hair, this kind thing he how dare use on this kind body.
Then he again discovered consciousness middle Bamboo Slips another use, when this time suspected Bone-Healing Ointment made out, Bamboo Slips had reaction, above add one line handwriting.
【Inferior Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment finished product, effect only has true product effect one tenth, and carry toxic side effects, treat bone injury simultaneous cause meridian wither, skin ulcer.
Failure cause: 1. Preparation process non-medicinal impurities too many, pulverize grind not thorough.
2. Water preparation, medicine salt residue, should use seaweed rinse salt, pinellia water reduce toxicity.
3. Fermentation heat, time both insufficient, cannot fully ferment.
4. Roast auxiliary wine, alcohol concentration insufficient.
5. Medicine used salvia, notoginseng years insufficient.
……….
Evaluation: previously made look not out what, thought Host artificial manufacture baba, this inferior version still resemble lump baba, but at least have little medicinal effect.】
Flowing freely, Bamboo Slips total listed ten-plus failure causes, some material itself problem, some Wu Chengyu operation mistake, not only have specific causes, even point out improvement methods.
Only last evaluation have little playful, let Wu Chengyu cannot help suspect this Bamboo Slips have self-consciousness.
With quality inspector and guide teacher, Wu Chengyu progress suddenly speed up, continuous trial error, made out medicine quality better better, Bamboo Slips able pick out faults also less less, full seven days later, Wu Chengyu finally made out Premium Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment.
【Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment, Bone Injury Saint Medicine, Premium, no toxic side effects, can effectively recover bone injury residual, reshape bone strength, connect severed meridians, recover wound nerves. Current stock, sufficient one four limbs severed injured recover use.
【41} Use effect random injured years diminish, within one year injured recover as before, ten years within injured walk freely, ten years beyond injured only recover movement ability.
The healing effect diminishes with the age of the injury: those injured within a year recover completely, those injured within ten years can walk freely, and those injured beyond ten years regain only the ability to move.
Evaluation: look professional guide version, look again you previous those, still say not baba.】
Succeeded, Wu Chengyu looking at before eyes like ink jade paste object, fragrance pure, breathe out mouth breath, front back busy ten-plus days, total finally succeeded.
However he most happy not can recover injury, but found Bamboo Slips use method, at least partial use method.
Previously Bamboo Slips no reaction, roughly because not activated, wait Wu Chengyu choose with evil person fight life, save A Ku, last give Mo Laodao cremate after, count passed Bamboo Slips trial, got reward simultaneous also got use right.
This time refine Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment process, Bamboo Slips can instant point out problem place and solve method, like one detailed extreme instruction manual, just short hand hold hand teach him make medicine.
