"You are finally back." In a familiar office, familiar desk and Taichang flag, Zhu Xianfen was still sitting behind his desk, but the window was gone.
"Then, can you return my window to me? Student Shang."
"Uh-huh."
Zhu Xianfen pressed his forehead: "So you can't take it out, right?"
He actually had expectations. It would be okay if the window was removed and it was just a hole, but after the window was removed, there was a wall.
A horrifying question is what is behind the wall.
He didn't know if the familiar garden would still be outside the window after opening this wall. I don’t know where this wall came from.
But it's not a big problem.
"Well, actually it's not a big problem. I asked Daozu, and Daozu also said it's not a big problem. It's just that the lighting hasn't been very good these past two days, and I'm almost nearsighted."
"Ah..." Shangluo felt a little sorry. There is really no big problem with lighting and so on. If the windows cannot be taken out now, they will certainly be taken out in the future. But if Zhu Xianjun becomes myopic, it will not be easy to handle. There is no cure for this thing.
"Sorry. I'm really sorry."
"What are you apologizing for? It's a trivial matter. It just scared me so much that I quickly made a few pills to improve my eyesight. So kids like you must protect your eyesight. This pill is very bitter."
[Is this a problem of suffering?] Apollonia couldn't hold it any longer, [Can myopia be cured? 】
"After all, he is an alchemist." Shangluo sometimes forgets that the person in front of him has extremely high attainments in alchemy, and even Taoist ancestors will praise him. The last time I provided him with the recipe, he almost completed the process in a day and night. When performing "Evil Qi Treatment", he also provided the treatment plan. This one is really strong
"Oh, right." Zhu Xianfen suddenly remembered. He turned around and opened the refrigerator. The refrigerator is placed where the stationery cabinet used to be. Now a small refrigerator is placed inside, and a slightly smaller stationery cabinet is also placed.
"After you took away my cabinet, I thought about updating the equipment. After all, I have only been here for four or five years, and many of the furnishings have not been touched. So this time I followed my habit and put them away. Come in with a refrigerator. Well, if it weren't for the shortage of things, Shang Gong wouldn't have agreed to buy such an expensive appliance for me. You did a good job~ You did a good job. Do you want to try it?"
He opened the small refrigerator and took a can from it.
"Ah, no need, I just had dinner."
"Hey~" Zhu Xianfen smiled slightly, "I suggest you try it. This is good stuff."
nice one? Shangluo noticed that the jar was golden, with no decoration other than gold, not even a label.
The jar is short and dumpy, like the capacity of Wangzai milk, which is quite small. A half-full drink for a child, just enough for an adult.
I took the can and it was indeed very cold. After shaking it for a while, it still has the bubbly feel of carbonated soda inside.
"What's this?"
"You drink a little first. Come on, cheers. I'll do it first." Zhu Xianfen held an identical jar and took a sip first:
"Ah~~It feels so good."
Seeing his happy expression, Shangluo also opened it and took a small sip.
no taste?
There was really no taste at first, just a hint of sweetness and the feeling of bubbles exploding on the tongue. But if you taste it carefully, it seems that there is something
[I seem to smell carrots. 】
It does smell like radish. Immediately afterwards, the air-conditioning turned into a refreshing coolness, traveling along the throat and into the sea of dantian——
"Is this the spiritual liquid???" Shangluo drank it in one gulp.
"Yes, it's spiritual liquid. I found another classmate who had a beverage factory at home and filled it into soda for me. He asked me if I wanted to add some flavor, and I said I would make the original one to try first. Trial model If it’s good, it can be put into production.”
"So when we said it was put into production, it was meant to be put into soda cans?"
"Well, one company makes puree, and another company makes bottling. Many of my classmates have gone to work in the food industry. The industry in South Zhili is this route. Soda is exchanged for cars in North Zhili. But it is made Inside the soda can, I was inspired by Lu Liang. The Lu Liang who is very familiar with you. I found that there are many Qi practitioners like her, because the spiritual energy around them is too thin. Although they have the potential to mobilize spiritual energy, they have no ability to mobilize spiritual energy. It cannot be used. So after filling it into cans, you can put it in the vending machine and you can buy it when you need it."
"Huh?" Shangluo never expected that the vending machine at the door of the garage would one day be able to contain spiritual liquid.
"But not every vending machine will dispense real spiritual liquid. Most vending machines dispense the one you have. Do you feel anything when you drink it?"
"It seems that my spirit has improved? It's just a little weak."
"It's thin because it's been diluted a hundred times with water. Because the spirit liquid has changed in quality compared to the hot water extract of radish - radish soup. So even if it's diluted a hundred times, it still has considerable effects. Although If you actually fill a bottle of spiritual liquid, it will cost at least five or six hundred cents per bottle. But after diluting it a hundred times, the recommended retail price is only eight cents."
8 Wen, Shangluo estimated.
The purchasing power of "wen" and "one dollar" used in the Ming Dynasty are quite close. If there are rules, the exchange rate should be around 1:1.15. However, food prices, especially rice prices, are extremely expensive, while industrial foods such as canned foods are quite cheap. Even if you spend enough money to eat from cans, you may not be able to eat as much as you want. Shangluo had thought that if he suddenly ran out of money one day, he would probably not starve to death if he bought canned food.
"Eight cents is not expensive. It's the same price as sports drinks."
"Sports drink?" Zhu Xianfen blinked, "Is it the kind of drink you have over there? It sounds like some kind of salt soda suitable for drinking after exercise?"
"Salt soda does count."
"Then this is also a sports drink. Well" he nodded, "Very good, it seems that the price given by my intuition is very reliable. Because of the diluted spiritual liquid, I plan to put it directly into each vending machine. Let everyone have a taste. The biggest difference between spiritual liquid and carrot soup besides qualitative change is deterioration. Carrot soup can only be drunk fresh, and it will run out of gas after a long time after simmering. But the shelf life of spiritual liquid is very long, and the first batch of spiritual liquid The liquid has not deteriorated significantly until now.”
"Eh? This seems very useful?" Shangluo knew that sometimes transportation costs accounted for a large part of the factors that affected prices, such as lychees. It’s not easy to take a bite of fresh lychee.
"It is indeed very useful. In addition to fundamentally increasing the abundance, the spiritual liquid also 'incidentally' solved the problem of preservation - well, this is not to say that preservation is not important, but that the abundance has fundamentally changed after being concentrated. Purpose. So even the important issue of 'preservation' seems not that important. But in terms of preservation, this allows us to release spiritual objects on a larger scale. This is very important."
