Chapter 114 The Taoist Order

"Ah?" Zuo Shaoyang was shocked, "Miss Sang wants to commit suicide by taking poison? This..., this doesn't work, I can't..."

"Who is going to commit suicide!" Huang Qin gave him a blank look.

"Didn't Miss Sang say that if she insists on marrying, she will die?"

"If you say you have to die, you must die? There is only one life. If she dies, are you happy?"

"How could I be happy? Miss Sang helped me like this. I hope she would be good. As long as she could help her, I would do whatever she wanted. Of course, it would be impossible to help her take poison and commit suicide."

"Look at you! I said I didn't want to commit suicide."

"Then what medicine she wants?"

Huang Qin put her face to Zuo Shaoyang's ear and said a few words.

Zuo Shaoyang suddenly realized and said repeatedly: "This is a good method!"

Huang Qin said anxiously: "Then do you have this medicine?"

"Yes! I'll go back and get it right away. You can wait for me for a while. I'll give it to you. Soon."

"Okay, go quickly."

Zuo Shaoyang did not leave, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Huang Qin: "You have something to do now. When I come back, my medicine will be almost done, and we are still meeting here."

"What's the matter?" Huang Qin took the paper in surprise.

Zuo Shaoyang looked around, turned his head, and muttered in Huang Qin's ear for a long time. Huang Qin's face was unstable, and she asked a few questions from time to time. Finally, she nodded and ran away.

Zuo Shaoyang also hurried back to the medicine shop, saying that he wanted a new medicine in the medicine cabinet and he should be given it immediately. Zuo Gui didn't ask much.

The medicine was prepared quickly. Zuo Shaoyang used the excuse of going to the thatched room and coming out of the back door and quietly came to Qingfeng Temple. Huang Qin had already arrived, holding a bag of things in her hand, and she looked happy on her face.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Did you get it?"

"Well! He's just right! When I said he gave it to me." Huang Qin laughed, "You should keep this thing, it's not convenient for me and my little sister."

"Haha, you just trust me?"

"What can you do if you don't believe it? You came up with this idea. My little sister gave you my heart. Could it be that you and my little sister are still slutty?"

"Haha, since you trust me, then I will keep it on your behalf. If you think the time is up, please send me a letter and I will come over immediately."

"Okay!" Huang Qin handed the bag in her hand to Zuo Shaoyang. She waved her hand and trotted away.

The next morning, Zuo Shaoyang went to fetch water again, and went there according to the previous time to see if he could see Sang Xiaomei.

When I arrived at the well by the river, I didn’t see Sang Xiaomei, and even Huang Qin didn’t see him. So I deliberately waited for a while, but still didn’t see Huang Qin coming. After waiting for a while, Sang Wazi came to carry water. Zuo Shaoyang was not at ease, so he said hello and then carried water back.

In the morning, the medicinal medicine cabinet sent a guy to call him, saying that the medicinal materials warehouse had been repaired and asked him to help with the acceptance.

Zuo Shaoyang came to Hengchang Medicine Store. Only one warehouse was built to test whether the preservation theory of Zuo Shaoyang medicinal materials was feasible. If it was expanded, the location and design of the warehouse were decided by Zuo Shaoyang. During this period, Zuo Shaoyang also came a few times to check the existing problems and ordered the rework and rework. Therefore, the project met Zuo Shaoyang's pre-design requirements and the completion acceptance was successfully passed.

Zuo Shaoyang guided them to start filling the medicinal materials and taught them how to sort and store them. They were busy for most of the day and it was not until the afternoon. Zhu Medicine Cabinet said that he had worked hard and gave him two strings of money (twenty cents).

Zuo Shaoyang was very happy and took the money back to the pharmacy.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old Taoist sitting in the lobby, with white beards floating in the air and a young face, talking to Zuo Gui. There was another person sitting next to him, but Fatty Dong, a medicinal material merchant in Washi City.

Seeing Zuo Shaoyang coming back, Fatty Dong was happy and stood up and said, "Young Master Zuo is back!"

"It's the shopkeeper Dong." Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly bowed. He was happy. Could it be that the Ziyingshi he entrusted him to sell on his behalf? He looked at the Taoist priest next to him and thought to himself that it was the Taoist priest who wanted to order the medicinal materials? When did the Taoist priest also tinker with the medicinal materials?

"Yes!" Manager Dong said happily, "That's right. When this Taoist priest saw the extremely fine purple stone powder you made in my medicine stall, he asked who made it. I said, and he asked me to bring me to see you and want to discuss the preparation of pharmaceutical powder with you. So I brought it to you. You guys talk about it in detail. I still have to go back to take care of the business. I say goodbye."

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly thanked him and sent him outside the door. After returning, he bowed and said, "What do you call Taoist priest?"

"I am the name of Wuchen. I practiced in Bixia Temple outside the city. I passed by Wa City before and saw that the purple ying stone taught by the shopkeeper just now was extremely fine. I learned that it was made by the noble department, so I took the initiative to come to my door. I just learned from Lingzun that it was made by the young master. It was very novel. I wonder if Mr. Zuo could make such delicate cinnabar?"

Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, is an ore. It is listed as the best product in the "Shennong Bencao Jing". It is believed that long-term use can prolong life and is also a must-have medicine for sorcerers of all generations to refine the immortal pill. When scientific research in the world shows that Cinnabar has a small poison.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Okay, no problem."

Taoist Master Wuchen said happily: "It's so good, it's not to be hindered. I'm refining elixirs. The cinnabar I used in the past cannot get a fine powder like flour like Zuo Gongzi. If the cinnabar is not fine enough, it will not be able to refine good elixirs, hehe."

Before the Tang Dynasty, cinnabar was basically made by grinding, and after the Song Dynasty, cinnabar was started to be made by water flying. After thousands of years of experience, modern cinnabar produced is as fine as flour, and Zuo Shaoyang used this water flying cooking method.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "How many times does Taoist priest plan to order?"

"Well, in addition to my use, I have some fellow Taoists who are practicing elixirs, and there is also a lot of demand for cinnabar. So I will buy fifty kilograms first. I will buy it after I use it."

Zuo Shaoyang was surprised and happy. He thought that the old Taoist would not have much demand for it. Unexpectedly, he would have to buy it for others. Fifty pounds is still a not-so-small business. He hurriedly bowed and said, "No problem, are you going to buy this raw material yourself, or should I buy it for you?"

"Please order the raw materials by your own order, so we just take away the finished product. We can pay the young master first. But I don't know how much it costs?"

Zuo Shaoyang calculated with his fingers and said, "If we make cinnabar, we will carry materials, one pound of 200 minuscule. Fifty minuscule is ten thousand minuscule, which is ten taels of silver."

Taoist Master Wuchen nodded: "Well, this price is about 30% more expensive than the current cinnabar. However, if you can make such fine cinnabar, it is worth it to make 30% more. OK, that's it. How long will it take to prepare it?"

Zuo Shaoyang calculated and said, "Please go ten days. You will take it away in ten days."

"Okay!" Master Wuchen took off his purse from his waist, poured out a small ingot of silver, and placed it on the table: "Hey, this is a deposit of two taels, and I will pay the rest when picking up the goods."

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Master, can you pay a deposit of 6 taels and pay the rest when picking up the goods? To be honest, our pharmacy has not been able to turn over recently. Two taels of silver is not enough to earn 50 kilograms of cinnabar raw materials."

Taoist Master Wuchen smiled and said, "That's fine, it's okay, I'll have to pay sooner or later." He poured out two small ingots of silver from his purse and placed it on the table, and said to Zuo Gui's father: "Please write a receipt."

Zuo Gui was also overjoyed. He unexpectedly took on such a business. The purchase cost of fifty kilograms of cinnabar raw materials was about four taels of silver. Zuo Shaoyang directly doubled and said that the price of 10 taels of cinnabar was given. Zuo Gui was really worried that the priest would think it was expensive and thought in his mind that even if it was six taels of 7 taels of 7 taels of 7 taels of 7 taels of 7 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 taels of 30 tael

Zuo Gui took a pen and wrote a receipt, and gave it to the old Taoist. The Taoist Master and left.

Zuo Gui was very excited and said happily: "Zhong'er, I didn't expect that the medicinal materials you prepared were really appreciated. Without further ado, let's go and purchase the goods quickly. Let's start making them. Don't wait for them to come and get the goods when they come to the door, that would be bad."

Zuo Shaoyang said that the ten days had already paid for the spare time, so he was worried about any changes, so he was not in a hurry and said, "Dad, let's take this money to redeem the Sang family's decoration first. I heard that pawn shops also need to be redeemed for redemption. If you redeem it one day earlier, you will lose less.

Zuo Gui hesitated and said, "It should be so, but if the money is used to redecorate, what will I buy the goods?"

"Selling for credit first, ten days later, the Taoist priest came to pick up the goods and paid the remaining four taels of silver, which was just enough to pay the payment."

"But do they want to?"

"He would be willing to find the shopkeeper Dong just now. If it really doesn't work, I will find Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store. May the medicine cabinet give us this face. However, I want to give this business to shopkeeper Dong. After all, it was him who helped us, so we got the business. If you have money, do you make money?"

"Yes, it's a gentleman to repay kindness." Zuo Gui nodded while stroking his beard and pushed the six taels of silver to Zuo Shaoyang. "Take the silver and go to Qingxiang Teahouse. Tell Sang that the money has been raised and asked him to give it to you as a ticket, and then go and redeem the decoration and send it to them."

Zuo Shaoyang knew that this decoration was Sang Xiaomei's dowry and would be returned to Sang Xiaomei in the future, but not to Sang Zhangguan and his wife. Sang Xiaomei is currently fighting an arranged marriage, so she is afraid she has no time to pay attention to this matter. Let's go and see if she can take it back as a ticket.

Zuo Shaoyang agreed and hurried to the tea shop.
