Open a shop to sell elixirs? This idea has never crossed Zhang Yan's mind. Obviously you can dispose of it at a high premium, how can it be possible to make it like a store and have goods for money?
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yan is currently the only alchemist in the Huangtian Domain. Even if he is just starting out, he is the only one in the world. Isn't there someone rushing to get some elixir when it comes out?
There is a saying called: seeking elixirs.
This means preparing the medicinal materials yourself and then asking the alchemist to refine them. If it works, give the alchemist a benefit; if it doesn't work, go back to preparing the medicinal materials with a smile. You will be responsible for the loss and thank them for helping you.
Don't think this is a joke, this is how alchemists are described in many classics in Longhu Mountain. Of course, it is a treatment only given to great alchemists.
And Zhang Yan is the ceiling for alchemists in the Wild Sky Realm. The word "asking for elixirs" is naturally the norm in the future if you ask him to make elixirs. Zhoucang is the evolution process of this rule from the beginning.
From the moment he entered the Zhang family's door to when Zhou Cang said goodbye with a smile on his face, he stayed at the Zhang family's house for a full hour. During this time, he also chatted with Zhang Yan about some interesting things about General Zhe Donglin in Yubei Mountain. Both of them have a tacit understanding and hope to use Lin Zedong's interpersonal relationship to shorten the distance between them.
As for the trouble Zhang Yan was carrying, the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it a word. With the elixir involved, Zhang Yan is confident that Zhou Cang will not just sit idly by. Zhou Cang is also confident that no matter what troubles arise in Langyuan City, as long as Zhang Yan himself does not commit any crime, he will be able to protect the Zhang family.
"Brother Zhang, please come back!"
"Sir, walk slowly!"
This scene can be said to frighten the neighbors who peeked at the Zhang family through the cracks in the door, or those who had ulterior motives.
What did Zhou Cang call Zhang Yan when he left just now? Brother Zhang? ! This... seems to be the first time in Langyuan City that Zhou Cang has addressed someone so affectionately. Even when facing the equal political officer Wu Yuanshi and Zhou Cang, he was worthy of his position.
He is just a civilian who has returned from a clean crime. Does he need a big shot like Zhou Cang to surrender like this?
The jaw dropped to the floor and frightened many people.
The neighbors in Zhuzui Alley all understand in their hearts that this family is probably different from everyone else. Not to mention making friends, but at least no one will dare to trouble others in the future, right?
Those people with ulterior motives hurriedly left from the other end of the alley. This news must be spread as soon as possible. Zhou Cang's attitude towards the Zhang family has exceeded the maximum limit previously judged.
After Zhou Cang left, his mother and eldest brother naturally asked curious questions again. But their knowledge is limited, and the importance of Bone Strengthening Pill only exists in the words "Unknown Jue Li". What's more, I understand that Zhang Yan and Zhou Cang have really developed a friendship now.
It feels like a dream. There is more of a sense of security.
No one dares to bully our family now, right? Mother Wang Lanping thought so.
Could it be that Zhang Er wants to take advantage of Mr. Zhou's power to take revenge this time? To Xiao Chongwen and others? Or is there another secret? Zhang Shunru was thinking, still slightly worried.
After seeing off Zhou Cang and appeasing his family members, Zhang Yan went out and went to the small wine shop at the entrance of the alley. Without choosing, he drank five kilograms of the strongest wine. This wine doesn't even have a name, it has only one characteristic, that is, it is like burning like a knife. Normally, people who drink only a few ounces of wine will wait for a day's sleep. Just like this, people in Zhuzui Alley are generally reluctant to buy it to drink, so they keep it on the bottom of the box in the shop.
I don’t know if it’s because today’s incident has spread widely. When Zhang Yan paid, some of the broken pieces were wiped away by the shop owner. The smile on his face was even more enthusiastic. Even sent out a few steps.
After opening the wine cork and smelling it curiously, Zhang Yan immediately tilted his head back and made a "hiss" sound in his mouth. Undoubtedly, he has gradually accepted the cruel reality of his alcohol consumption. Even smelling it now makes my nose burn.
Naturally, Zhang Yan didn't ask for such a strong drink, but it was a greeting gift that he was going to visit soon. With a jug of good wine in front of a person who is said to be good at this drink, it will be easier to talk about what follows.
Boom, boom, boom.
Kaz... opened the door, and inside there was a dark-skinned, thin, middle-aged man in his fifties, looking at Zhang Yan outside the door with a cautious expression.
"Master Liu, I'm Zhang Er, Zhang Yan, across from you. Come here to visit, can you come in?" Zhang Yan greeted with a smile. He knew very well that the other party must know him. When he went out to see Zhou Cang off just now, Zhang Yan clearly saw him looking out through the crack in the door.
"Hey, second brother of the Zhang family, please, come in quickly!"
After entering the house, it was dark and smelled of dampness. The house is also very narrow, with one kitchen and one main room. There is a curtain drawn in the middle of the main room. It is obvious that the outside is still used as the main room, and the inside should be the separated bedroom.
Zhang Yan was not surprised. This kind of house was the environment where most people in Zhuzui Lane lived. The Zhang family had sold their belongings and moved here. They were a little depressed, but they still had a solid foundation and were incomparable.
In his perception, Zhang Yan could feel that there was a person with a somewhat chaotic aura behind the curtain. She was probably the wife of Carpenter Liu that the elder brother mentioned.
"Come, drink some hot water. The house is simple, don't be surprised by the second brother of the Zhang family." Carpenter Liu looked embarrassed. Although he was not worried that the other party would harm him, he always felt that if the other party actually interacted with a dignified official, then he was not the same type of person as him, even if they were from the same family.
"Okay, Master Liu. By the way, I heard from my brother that you like to drink. I got this from the alley wine shop just now. Don't mind it." Zhang Yan sat on the stool and put the wine on the table.
"This, this can't be done, this can't be done, I..."
"Master Liu, don't refuse. You helped my family a lot back then. You insisted on paying for my little sister Zhang Huiyuan's craftsmanship, but the family was so confused that you accepted it. This is really inappropriate. But this wine, you You have to accept it, otherwise wouldn’t it mean that we are no longer our neighbors? Right?”
"This, this..." Liu Carpenter was clumsy, a little anxious but didn't know how to refuse Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan waved his hand, took out the drawings he drew last night from his arms, put it on the table, then changed the subject with a smile and said to Carpenter Liu: "There are some gadgets here, Master Liu, let's see if we can make them. "
"Huh? Oh! Okay, let me take a look."
Carpenter Liu took the drawing and looked at it for a while before raising his head, his eyes bulging more than before. Pointing to the words on the drawing with a slightly embarrassed tone, he said, "Second brother Zhang, is this a carpenter's object? Like...a chair with wheels? But what do these words mean?" Me, I can’t read.”
"Master Liu, don't blame me. I was negligent. Let me explain it to you. This thing is a chair with wheels. I call it a wheelchair... You see, these things look like this... ..and size…”
At the end, Zhang Yan added: "How about it? Master Liu, do you think it can be made?"
