The last 2000 yuan

There is a not-so-obvious road outside Luoxia Mountain, with two ruts extending from east to west to an invisible end.

Looking around, there are either large bushes or endless mountains. I think this should be a hilly area all the year round.

"Do you know which direction to go?" Perennial specially found the direction of the sun, distinguishing east, west, north, south.

Tie Buping nodded: "My hometown is on the east side of Luoxia Mountain. If you walk eastward from this road, you will enter the nearest small town in about three or four days. After you have a rest in that small town, turn southeast .Five days further southeast, you can see a big lake, our village is near there.”

The last time he came out to look for Wan Laoque's family, Tie Buping had secretly recorded the surrounding terrain, just to make it easier for him to take people away at any time.

Perennial was about to order the slaves to speed up, but when he saw the surrounding plants clearly, his steps stopped again.

Except for the ruts, other places were flooded with weeds, and the weeds growing on the road were slightly lower.There are many small white fluffy flowers blooming in this large piece of wild grass, and some smaller purple-blue flowers are hidden in the wild grass, which embellishes the wilderness scene very beautifully.

Being beautiful doesn't mean being safe.

"The purple-blue ones are ghost flowers. According to legend, this kind of flower can only bloom in places where there are many dead people. The white flowers are called lost paths. They will trap dead souls so that they can't find their way home. This road used to be Many people must have died." Tie Buping said coldly.

Looking at two kinds of small flowers all the year round, what comes to my mind is: ghost flower, also known as the blue elf, which is said to only be found in the Senyuan continent where elves live, and the whole flower can be used to make spiritual psychedelic potions.The Lost Flower is the antidote, also known as the White Rong Flower, and its origin is also the Senyuan Continent.The ghost flower and the lost flower are used together as medicine, which can be used to make potions that replenish mental power.Although I don't understand how these two kinds of flowers that are said to be only found in the Moriyuan Continent can grow so lushly in the Abandoned Continent, the point is that the prices of these two kinds of flowers are not low.

And these two precious medicinal plants, which can be sold for ten silver coins per flower, grow all over the mountains and plains in front of the perennial!

Looking at these flowers all year round is like looking at gold coins. Is there any need to talk about what to do next?Of course, let everyone collect these two kinds of flowers together.

Tie Buping didn't understand why Perennial asked everyone to have nothing to do to pick flowers, it was so boring to do such a thing, but thinking that Perennial had asked everyone to collect some plants in the mountains just now, he guessed that these inconspicuous plants might be It was a herb he didn't know.

The slaves basically did what the new master said.They were asked to pick flowers all the year round, so they took the empty baskets on the cart to pick those small blue and white flowers.

He still doesn't understand how to collect these flowers correctly all the year round, but he has the knowledge in his head, and he can also use the teaching and experience classrooms to learn how to collect them first, and after a few simulations, he has almost mastered the correct method.

He didn't know that the collection of medicinal materials was not included in the teaching all the year round. He saw the black shadow in the experience classroom doing the collection action, so he followed suit.The black shadow will also correct his incorrect collection method.

I collected a few plants in practice all the year round, and taught them to the slaves after getting familiar with the techniques.

Tie Buping secretly told his sisters: "Look carefully and study hard. These two kinds of flowers may also be herbal medicines. The new owner will not do useless things. We must try our best to learn the methods he taught. This is the capital of our future life." .”

Sister Tie and Sister Tie all nodded to show their understanding.

Tie Buping reminded the slaves from time to time: "There are no less snakes and insects here than in the mountains, and the trousers should be tied tightly. When picking flowers, first use an iron pick to pat the surrounding grass and ground. Don't get your face too close to the plants to prevent insects and ants from biting you."

He has been pricking up his ears to eavesdrop all the year round, but this brat won't take the initiative to tell him these things.I don't know if I think he understands and there is no need to tell him, or I don't want to talk to him.

Unwarmed little brat.Touching his face all the year round, in fact, he somehow knew the reason. Last night when he regained his true face, that kid treated him very well, but when he saw his fat intestines again in the morning, his face immediately pulled down.

Maybe Fat Chang's short and fat setback caused too much harm to the young man.Thinking of this all the year round, I didn't pay much attention to the young man's attitude towards him.If it was him, seeing the face of the enemy, even if he knew it was not the enemy, he would still feel uncomfortable.

It took a lot of time to collect two kinds of flowers. This kind of flowers cannot be pressed, and we have to find time to dry them.Seeing that the weather was not early all the year round, Tie Buping simply asked Tie Buping to find a suitable place for camping, and rested in the wilderness that night.

Perennial and Tie Buping scattered some dried excrement of monsters around the camp, which were dug out from the room of the manager Lao Peng.

I can't recognize it all the year round, but I can't help it.

In addition to the dried dung of the monsters, they also lit a fire.

He learned and sold all the year round. He let the slaves eat a stray flower each, and then hid a stray flower on their body, and then threw the dozens of ghost flowers collected today into the fire.

A faint fragrance spread, and the howling of wolves in the distance seemed to be gradually approaching.

After years of careful observation, I found that the scent of this ghost flower also has the effect of repelling insects. The mosquitoes that were buzzing around just now have become dizzy and accurate.

The slaves crackled and beat the mosquitoes, and Tie Buping directly used a torch to burn the little vampires who were not flying around.

Every year, the slaves are asked to unload the luggage on the carts and put them on the ground, so that everyone sleeps on the carts, which can isolate moisture and insects to the greatest extent. If there are a large number of wild animals attacking at night, the slaves just give up all the year round. Luggage, let's run away first.

Ghost flowers are also distributed to slaves who are on duty all year round, so that they will throw ghost flowers into the fire when they find a wild beast or monster approaching.

Sleeping on the stroller all year round, I can clearly hear the sound of grass blades and low branches being trampled around, which means that there are many prying beasts nearby.

Tie Buping and a slave are in charge of the first shift, and have been given preferential treatment as masters all year round. He doesn't need to be on night duty and can sleep until dawn.

But he didn't dare to sleep to death all the year round, so he hung up [Light Viewing Fire] before going to sleep, which was also to train his ability to explore spiritual power.So don't look at him with his eyes closed as if he is in deep sleep. In fact, his mental power spreads radiation around him, and he can know the wind and grass in a radius of ten meters.

It's just that this kind of ability consumes a lot of magic power and mental power. He can't hold on for only half an hour all year round. In his fatigue, he thought vaguely that there is no way for him to easily use these abilities without consuming too much .

Rule Elf: "Exercise, only keep exercising, and learn how to absorb magic power and nourish spiritual power while using them. When you get used to using spiritual power like using your five senses, you can use the smallest magic power and spiritual power but can for maximum effect."

Perennial: Got it, that means there are no shortcuts.

I have been clear-headed for two minutes all the year round, and I didn't sleep anymore. I got into the teaching and experience classroom and started to toss.In the teaching room, first learn the refining methods of the four formulas, and in the experience room, try to prepare and refine by yourself.In the experience room, you are not afraid of wasting materials, and you can keep trying until you are proficient.

Maybe it's the dried excrement of monsters, maybe it's the burning fire, maybe it's the scent of ghost flowers.The night passed fairly peacefully. The wolves who were guarded by the slaves only observed them from a distance, and did not come to attack them.

The next day, when I wake up early in the morning, I only feel a splitting headache, which is obviously overuse of the brain.

After breakfast, he rubbed his temples all the year round to let the slaves continue to collect two kinds of flowers, and spread out the flowers collected yesterday to dry.And he himself began to actually try to use bitter grass to make a potion for treating oral ulcers. This kind of potion is easy to make, and it can be made with clay pots and stone sticks without crucibles and crystal bottles.By the way, he also wanted to develop some bitter grass toothpaste.

Tie Buping had no choice but to remind him: "Our spare baskets are already full, and there is no place to store any more."

"I know, you poured all the flowers you collected in the open space over there, and I will use them as sacrifices." Perennial said calmly.

He had already thought about it all the year round. He couldn't take away so many precious raw materials for refining medicine, so naturally he couldn't leave them in the wilderness for nothing. After collecting them, he could sell them to the rule elves.

And he just collected flowers, without any harm to the plants themselves. Next year, there will be a sea of ​​blue and white flowers here again.

When the slaves heard that the new master was going to sacrifice two kinds of flowers to the gods, they were more careful when collecting flowers, and there was a trace of piety on their faces.

Another day passed, and he finally collected almost all the ghost flowers and stray flowers that were visible to the naked eye all year round. He carefully collected the dried flowers. From now on, these will be one of the raw materials and travel expenses for refining medicine.And all the fresh flowers that were too late to dry were exchanged by him to the rule elves.

Because of the rarity of the two kinds of flowers, in such a large sea of ​​flowers, only the fresh ones add 106 gold to the perennial year, and the dried part also has 92.8 gold, which can be regarded as a huge profit.

And the perennial total property also broke triple digits again, becoming 241.58 gold.

Seeing that the ghost flower's defense effect is good, at night, he plans to enter the teaching and experience classroom again for refining medicine and magic learning at night. He has newly purchased two kinds of mental power replenishment potion formulas with flowers as the main raw material, and plans to try it in the experience classroom tonight. Do.

"If you do this, you will consume a lot of mental energy, and you will have no energy when you wake up the next day. After a long time, it will not be good for your body." The rule wizard reminded: "If you want to experience sleep-like learning in deep sleep, you can If you will not forget that kind, please purchase [Dream Never Forget], this magic is used in conjunction with the teaching and experience classrooms, it can let you memorize what you have learned in the teaching and experience classrooms without damaging the mental power and nourishing the spiritual power. Learn everything."

"What's the price?"

"158.99 gold."

He knew it wouldn't be cheap!This rule spirit just can't see that he has too much savings, and when he sees his wealth rising, he will change tricks to make him spend money, but what it recommends is what he needs most.

Perennial: "...buy!"

Therefore, after subtracting the price of 9.99 gold for a mental power replenishing potion formula, the annual total wealth dropped to double digits again, becoming 72.6 gold.In addition to the fresh flowers, the property that is deducted is also a part of the dried flowers.

Seeing that Tie Buping has been dawdling for another two days all year round, he is a little anxious.Seven days passed, and according to the rule of Peng Yuan's family, their people would come in about three days.If they don't leave here, they will probably collide with Peng Yuan's ore collecting team.

Fortunately, on the third day, there was no talk about picking flowers or grass all year round, but instead urged the slaves to speed up and go east.In order to avoid Peng Yuan's family's mining team, he avoided the main road all the year round and entered the wilderness path with his uneven sense of direction.

All the year round, the slaves were asked to remove the sign belonging to Peng Yuan's family from the clothes.This kind of logo is a simplified version of Peng Yuan's family crest. It is embroidered and sewn on the clothes with a piece of cloth, and there are also colored lines sewn on the sleeves and hem that represent status. If these are removed, it is ordinary coarse cloth clothes.

Next, stop and go, and stay in places where there are many plants all the year round. First, to learn and verify his knowledge of herbal medicine in his mind, and second, to collect some medicinal plants and seasonings that he longs for. .

On the way, he found plants like mint, lemon, turmeric, wild onion, dandelion, and caraway, which can be used as medicinal herbs and seasonings.

Throughout the year, I try to take the required parts of the roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of these herbs, slice them and dry them or grind them into powder for later use.

Not to mention, just by looking at the reaction of the slaves burying their heads in their meals, one can tell that the seasoning effect of these medicinal plants is not bad.

So the small town that should have been reached in three or four days' journey, it took five days all the year round to reach the small town, but they also successfully avoided Peng Yuan's ore transport team.

Perhaps because it is approaching the town, there are no longer only a group of people on the road all year round, and occasionally you can see some teams that look like caravans or farmers.

Looking at the slaves wearing clothes, shoes and socks all the year round, it looks like a different person, thinking that even if they meet someone from Peng Yuan's family, they may not dare to recognize them.Only his own big flaw remained, and he did not hesitate to put on himself the [True Shape] magic again all the year round, so that he could restore his original appearance.

The slaves were startled to see the new master's changed appearance.

Fortunately, Tie Buping helped to explain, and the slaves accepted the image of the new master's tall, rich and handsome without spending any words all year round.

Everyone is a dog, and I am no exception all year round.There is a short and fat master, and a tall and handsome master, the slaves have different sense of honor.At the very least, the latter looks good, doesn't it?

On the road, he also took time to hunt and kill a few hares and two hog deer with a few more capable slaves all year round.

Hog deer are called bush deer in the local area, which means that they like to live in bushes and open areas. This kind of deer has a round appearance, is not tall, and has a fat nose. It feels like a pig all the year round. To distinguish them, they are called hog deer.

On the other hand, it is said that there may be only one hog deer in Huaxia on Earth, and no more than three at most, and it is already on the verge of extinction.Wanting to eat this kind of deer is simply a dream.

But there are many hog deer here, and they are extremely fertile.

The meat of hog deer is very tender and fragrant, and it is very suitable for grilling or shabu-shabu.

Yes, a new way of eating besides barbecue has been developed all the year round, which is shabu-shabu.

He found a precious iron pot, five clay pots, several pots and dozens of pots in the kitchen of the dormitory area of ​​the handymen, and he brought them all with him.

On the same day, he used iron pots and ceramic pots to boil water for everyone to cook meat. It was too tiring to cook for fifteen people, and it was much easier to cook in pots.

"Hey, little brother, what are you eating? It smells really good. We are so hungry that we can't eat dry food." Someone came over and said jokingly.

All the year round, people looked up and saw that this was one of the merchants they met today. When they stopped to rest near noon, the merchant team also stopped.

Tie Buping was very vigilant at first, he saw everyone as if he was going to rob them.Normally, unless the weather is too hot, merchants seldom rest at noon. Generally speaking, merchants will race against time during the day, and will not look for a resting place until the sun is about to set.

"Shabu-shabu meat is very simple to make, as long as you have a pot, water and meat." All the year round, he laughed before saying anything, and was friendly.

"Really, it's that simple? Did the little brother bring some special spices? Can you sell us some? Not too much, as long as you can make a few meals." The visitor seemed to be in his 30s, with cheekbones Beard, speaking and laughing are hearty, is a communicative character.

It turned out to be for the spices.The smile on his face has deepened all the year round. In ancient times, spices were a good thing that was more expensive than gold.In the modern society of the earth, due to convenient transportation and agricultural technology, spices from all over the world can be bought in supermarkets, and the prices are very affordable.But in times of inconvenient transportation, countries and wars, spices that can flavor and make expensive perfumes are hard to come by.

For many years, I don't know which seasoning he threw in the shabu-shabu that attracted this merchant, but as long as it is a legitimate business that can make money, he is willing to spend a little time.

"Please sit down and try the shabu-shabu meat, a specialty of our hometown. You will want to eat it after you eat it." Perennial motioned Sister Tie to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.

"Then I won't be polite." The bearded Hu sat down with a smile, and secretly scrutinized all of the perennial group thoroughly.

There were no slaves in this group of people, at least he didn't see anyone with poor clothes or the mark of a slave on their body or face.

The young man who was the master looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and tall, with a tall and slender figure, and his skin was so tender that it seemed to be glowing. He seemed to be a person who hadn't suffered much.But the quality of his clothing looked similar to that of his subordinates, the fabric was slightly better, and it was only a slightly finer coarse cloth.

But the boy's subordinates can see that they respect the boy no matter their words, deeds or expressions.

And the boy's speech and temperament are not like what can be raised by a small family, that kind of grand demeanor is more like the heir cultivated by a big family.

Then there is only one possibility for this situation, the boy concealed his true identity.Maybe it's for better experience, maybe it's to avoid something.

The beard looked at his unhurried appearance all year round, overturning the latter's guess - people who are avoiding something don't have such a relaxed expression.

A young master from an aristocratic family who concealed his identity and came out to practice, such a person will never lose acquaintance, naturally it is best to make friends.

The bearded man quickly came to a conclusion, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Sister Tie, and looked at the two small sticks in surprise, "How do I use this?"

All the year round, he laughed and gestured to the bearded beard with his chopsticks, "It's very simple. It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but when you get used to it, you will find that these two small sticks are much more convenient than knives and forks."

"Yes, then I'm going to try." The bearded beard was full of interest, but unfortunately, the way to hold the chopsticks could not be learned by everyone. After a long time of awkwardness, the bearded beard learned to use the chopsticks as forks and clips without a teacher The speed of inserting and clamping meat is not much slower than that of normal years.

The bearded man learned to put meat in the pot all the year round, and when he saw the red meat turning white, he took it out and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Oh! Fragrant! Tender!" The bearded meat gave a thumbs up as soon as it entered the mouth.

"It's a pity that there is no dipping sauce. If there is sesame dipping sauce or some sweet and spicy vinegar, the taste will be even better." Perennial sighed sincerely.He has already planned to go to the town to purchase a lot of things, among which oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sweet and spicy tea are the key points.

The bearded man doesn't know what sesame dipping sauce is, and he can't imagine the taste, but with the words sweet and spicy vinegar, he can understand a little bit, but: "This is sweet, spicy and sour, can it be delicious?"

All the year round, he smiled mysteriously: "Sweet and sour is one of the most delicious flavors of time. If you add spicy flavor, it will be a fairy-like enjoyment. You will know when you try it."

The bearded man swallowed his saliva, and took another big mouthful of boiled pork and venison, "I think the spices you put in this pot are very delicious, refreshing but not overwhelming, and with a little fragrance. People praise that the broth and meat in the shabu-shabu don’t have the slightest smell. Brother, let’s make a price, as long as the price is reasonable, brother, I’ll cover as many spices as you have.”

All the year round: "I'm actually a herbalist, and I don't specialize in spices. The spices I bring are special products from my hometown, just to satisfy my cravings on the road."

The bearded eyes flashed, "Brother is a herbal medicine dealer. I don't know what herbs you have now. Brother, I specialize in this business. I usually buy furs and odds and ends of monsters. I will also make some herbs. If brother If you don't plan to find a big merchant, why don't you just trade it to me directly. Of course, brother, I also have to check the variety and quality of the herbs first."

Perennial waved his hands and smiled lightly: "No hurry, let's eat first. After running for a long time, people are tired and horses are exhausted, so there is nothing to talk about business at this time."

The bearded man secretly cursed at the little fox.In his impression, young people are more irritable and impatient, but this young man is as stable as the old shopkeeper who has been in business for decades.

"Where is the little brother from, why did he come to such a remote place? Further forward is the Luoxia Mountains, which is said to be the world of monsters with sharp teeth and giant rats. There is nothing there, and it is very dangerous." The bearded man ate get in a word.

"It's a small place, let's go out and have a look and gain some knowledge. I don't know where Xiongtai is from?" He eats slowly and carefully all the year round, which makes the bearded man more and more suspicious of his identity.

This answer is the same as no answer.The bearded beard doesn't seem to be as easy to inquire as ordinary young people all the year round, and he doesn't continue to find out, and there is no need to hide his identity, so he just said: "My family is in South Bank Adventure City. I wonder if my little brother has heard of Kangmu Trading Company ? We are the caravan from Kang Mu Trading Company to receive the goods."

"I have heard of your name for a long time." In fact, I have never heard the name of this firm for many years.

Bearded eyes with pride: "If you have good things to trade, my little brother, you can choose our Kangmu Trading Firm. Our firm is the most honest and fair, and we dare to guarantee the quality of the things we sell. Certain shops that deceive people and even eat people."

"Okay, if I have something to trade, I must choose your firm first." The first choice does not mean a sure choice. I have been fighting in the business world for many years, and I am very good at the art of speaking.

While talking, the bearded man turned back to the spices, and revealed a piece of news: "Actually, it's not me who wants to buy your spices, but the young master of our firm. He came out with us this time, and he is still young. It was the first time to go out again, and he was not acclimatized when he first went out. After a while, he got better, and he lost his appetite. He also suffered from mouth sores in the past few days, and it hurts to eat anything. He has not been able to eat properly for a few days. These uncles also feel distressed, but he can't eat it, and we can't help it. But today he smelled your shabu-shabu, so he couldn't help asking where the smell came from, and urged us to come over and help him, saying If there is something delicious, buy him some."

It is impossible for the bearded man to directly buy food from unknown sources for the young master to eat, but it is possible to buy some spices and make it himself, and let the slaves test the poison.

"Mouth sores?" Perennial's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Have you had someone look at it? Have you taken any medicine?"

The bearded man took another mouthful of shabu-shabu meat cherishingly, and sighed: "There is a person in our team who knows a little bit about herbs. He also collected some herbs for the young master on the way, but the effect is not great. We are going to the town to look for it." Is there any medicine that specifically treats mouth sores?"

I shouted in my heart all the year round: Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

The medicine he made can be opened.
