Vol 2 Chapter 10: formula

In front of a stall not far from the material market, a middle-aged man with a housekeeping appearance, with a moustache, was engaged in a fierce bargain with the owner of the skinny vendor.
"Three Jinwite per plant, can't be cheaper anymore, Mr. Gary." The stall smiled, and his eyes narrowed into a small slit.
"Kiddy, I'm your patron. I collected all of these blue bead grasses, two Jinweit per plant." The middle-aged man, who looked like a housekeeper, told the stall vendor that he was very familiar with the market here, and he bargained. His tone was firm.
"Oh, this is an impossible price, do you want me to go back and get a whip by my wife?"
"Come on, Kitty, every time you are beaten by your wife because you secretly took money to find your good friend. But you don't want to take advantage of me to satisfy your lower body." The steward was dismissive. He knew too much what the traffickers like mice had done. He definitely intends to sell for a higher price than his wife asked, so that he can spend a lot of time on it.
The hawker saw that no one was paying attention, and secretly came over: "If you like, I can give you ten Silver Wittes, how about it? When you return, you still report three Gold Wittes, how about it?"
"No, no, you are bribing, Kiddy."
"Oh, Gary, you're just a housekeeper. There's no need to be so dedicated."
"That's why I can be a steward from a servant. Well, two Kingwitts, one, I won't give you one more."
The small street vendor shook his head with a bitter face: "I know you don't believe it, Mr. Gary, but I really can't get the price. You know that the pharmacy is very popular now, and those aristocratic husbands are buying frantically. This is an indispensable ingredient for the potion, and even if you do n’t buy it, I do n’t have to worry that no one will buy them.

The steward waited to catch the and slam it.
Many times, holding the other party's bottom line price does not mean success. Occasionally, the hot selling of the market can turn the buyer's market into a seller's market. Some material sellers are not worried that their goods will not be sold, and they can sell for a price.
However, purchasing materials at such a price means that the cost price of the manufactured medicine is already close to the sales price.
The problem is that he came late today, blue bead grass is running out, and the vendors in other places are also at this price. Damn Kiddie, he got into the eyes of money, don't think about me taking care of his business in the future.
While he was in distress, a young voice suddenly sounded beside him:
"As far as I know, blue bead grass is not a necessary material for making stagnant."
Gary steward turned back suddenly, he saw a well-dressed teenager standing behind his own.
On his sides, there were two beautiful little girls beside him.
The hawker named Kitty was a little dissatisfied: "Hey boy, don't make trouble here without buying things."
The boy shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Gary: "It looks like someone doesn't want me to talk."
The steward glanced at the hawker disdainfully, and said to the young man, "I can see that you are a young man from an educated family. It is just a low-level person. You don't need to ignore him. I am very interested in what you just said. I think you are saying that there is something that can replace blue bead grass to make a stagnant potion? "
The other side made an elegant bow posture: "Many water plants of the same nature can be replaced."
The hawker Kiddie cried with a sharp voice: "Mr. Gary, I don't think you told him that the Carmel family never produces drugs below the top grade."
The steward named Gary looked at Xiuyi with a smile: "I'm sorry, sir, I can't take your suggestion."
Xiu Yi looked at the two beauties around her, and they still smiled brilliantly: "Take the middle part of a Hongling plant and add two drops of Aruba lizard to reconcile it. It can be used instead of blue bead grass. A fine-quality styling potion. "
The steward and hawker looked at each other at the same time.
Gary looked at Xiuyi in disbelief and thought for a while: "Although I am not an alchemist, my long-term purchase has made me know something about pharmacy refining. It is strange that I have never heard of it. This method. "
Xiu Yi spread his two hands: "Alchemy is pursuing the laws of how things work, and the complexity of the connection between everything, how can humans explore everything? Presumably the great Electra Alchemy Teacher, I dare not say that he has mastered the laws of operation of all things in this world. The ocean of knowledge is infinite, and new discoveries are born every day. It is not unusual that you have not heard of it. It is rare that you try it. There is no courage ... the price of these two things is less than 1 Jinweit, which is much cheaper than blue bead. "
The steward held his chin with his right hand for a while, then nodded and said, "You are right, sir, I am sorry for your suspicion. You know that very few alchemists are willing to hand over their exclusive formula. of."
"That's true, I'm willing to tell you because it doesn't seem to me that much." Xiu Yi was very confident.
He looked handsome with confidence.
If Clarice were here, she would surely believe that Xiu was playing with his tricks again, but it was Daisy and Landy who were here at the moment.
Sometimes we have to admit that pretending to be cool in front of a woman is indeed a very effective way to attract love. Although Xiu's purpose is not here, he did succeed in making the little girls look red. Be careful.
The steward named Gary thought for a while and nodded, "I'll try to buy some to go back and have the alchemist in the family try it."
Then he hurried away despite the hawker's shout.
Hawker Kiddy stared at Xiuyi with a vicious look: "Hey, boy, you ruined my business."
Randy was about to turn her back, but Xiu Yi stopped it.
He tossed Kiddy a King Witt, and then took out a pen and paper and hurriedly wrote a few words into it, saying, "Don't worry, I'm sure he will come back to you to buy blue bead grass Yes. This note has my name and address. If you can leak this information to the housekeeper in a vague way, I will give you another King Witt, what do you think? "
The hawker Kiddie looked at Xiu with a puzzled look, picked up that Kim Witt and shook his head, and nodded, "No problem, kid-loving kid. If you don't give me that Kim Witt, I will tell you now All I tell the housekeeper. I will tell him you lied to him. "
"The deal." Xiu Yi calmly said.
"I thought you told him the right way." On the way back, Ranti almost called out.
"That is indeed the correct configuration method." Xiu Yi answered.
"Then why did the housekeeper still come back to buy blue bead grass?" Daisy asked in confusion.
"Because I only told him how to replace blue bead with other materials, but did not tell him what method to use for post-processing. So he was doomed to fail."
"Oh! Fink, you are so bad!" The two girls shouted while covering their mouths.
"But I don't understand why you're doing this. Is it good for you to offend a family?" Daisy was worried for Shuyi.
"And how do you know how to make pharmaceuticals?" Lanti wondered why Xiuyi knew so much.
Two girls, you keep asking me.
Xiu Yi sighed and stopped. He looked at the two little girls and said softly, "Dice, Randy, you are all good girls. But I can't stay in the dance company all the time. I have my own business to do Do, I mean ... everybody has to pursue, doesn't it? "
Daisy looked at Xiu in surprise: "You said you were leaving?"
Randy simply grabbed Xiuyi: "No, Fink, you can't just leave like this."
Xiu Yi patted Ranti's little hand: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say I want to leave. I just want to get some things, but these things are not easy to get. I need someone to help me."
The two girls were relieved.
Daisy asked, "Do you say you need the help of a noble?"
"Yes."
"That Gary housekeeper?"
"Yes."
The girl was completely confused: "But you just played him. If you tell him the right way, he may come to thank you, but now ..."
Xiu impatiently stopped their two cultures: "Trust me Daisy and Randy, the world is complicated and not so simple. A big housekeeper in a family will not guide him for a few words of kindness The words are known for their gratitude. They are not gentlemen who will report every gratitude. Although they are always well-educated and gentle in appearance, that doesn't explain anything. You ca n’t expect an ordinary encounter and a few clicks. It's impractical for a housekeeper to trust you and let whatever needs you ask meet. "
"But you ..."
"So if you want to attract the attention of a person or a family, sometimes attracting hatred is faster and easier than attracting gratitude."
The girls covered their mouths and opened their eyes at the same time: "Oh my gosh, you mean ..."
"Yes, if they don't do it according to the correct method, then the staying potion is more than just failing. The potion in the crucible will rush out like a roaring wave ..." Speaking of which, Xiu Yi toothy A smile: "I know that most of the pharmacy alchemists' habits are not so good. They always like to stack all the materials to be used just for the convenience of holding it. When the potion in the crucible is washed out, I believe it will Destroying many materials will far exceed their expected losses. "
"Oh no! Fink! That Gary housekeeper will kill you!" Randy almost screamed.
She never imagined that Xiu Yi's approach to teaching others confidently would be a way to harm others.
"Yes, if I can't tell them how to use these materials properly, they might do that." Xiu Yi answered with a smile, he gently held the two girls: "But don't worry, I'm not so easy Dead. I just want to make sure that the housekeeper Gary will come to you. After all, revenge is easier than motivation. Of course, his purpose is definitely not to express gratitude, but what's the matter? The important thing is that he Will definitely come to me, which is enough for me. "
The two girls were almost fainted.
