Chapter 343: You can’t take medicine randomly, and you can’t not take it either.(1/2)
And Hei Duo also learned why Aunt Dolly appeared here.
——Coming to deliver cakes.
Pastries are similar to the glutinous rice balls that must be eaten during the Lantern Festival, the mooncakes that must be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the turkey that must be eaten during Thanksgiving.
It is a fixed program on the first day of the Dragon King Festival.
However, the boss himself works as a delivery person. Either Uncle Ariel's family is very rich, or Uncle Ariel's family is very well-connected.
Hei Duo felt that it was the latter. After all, anyone who could invite someone he had only met a few times to his home was either doing so with ulterior motives or showing warm hospitality.
The former is unlikely, because Aunt Dolly is sitting here.
"Come! Try this!" Uncle Ariel put a strange-shaped pastry in front of Hei Duo, "You can't taste it anywhere else or at other times!"
Eh……
Hei Duo blinked. The cake in front of him was similar to the rice cake in his previous life, but different from the rice cake, it was blood red. At first glance, it looked like it had added red pigment.
He picked up a little bit with a fork and put it in his mouth to taste it. It was sweet and glutinous, a little sticky, and it had the same texture as rice cake.
"This is made of rice and a kind of dragon's blood grass. Ah, now it's called red rhizome on the market. It's the same plant anyway, doesn't it taste good?" Aunt Dolly was drinking tea with a very proud expression.
But Hei Duo had a look of astonishment on his face, and his slightly raised hand froze in place, "You, what do you think it is made of?"
"Rice and red zhi! Are you allergic to red zhi? No way." Aunt Dolly was also stunned, "Red zhi can only be grown in late autumn and early winter, and it can't be grown in greenhouses."
Uncle Ariel came over with concern, "Allergic? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I'm sorry for your treatment of Hongzhi..."
Hei Duo waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, I'm not allergic, I just want to know where to buy red zhi!"
What a coincidence, isn’t this!
Among the nutritional supplements used by Biting Land Shark, red root is an extremely important raw material. However, the red root that Hei Duo can buy on the market is dried and ground into powder, and its medicinal value is greatly reduced. It is far less valuable.
Fresh red zhizhi is of high value.
Of course, the difficulty of preserving red zhi is one of the reasons why it is made into powder.
If you insist on converting, the nutritional value is almost ten to one, and the selling price is more than twenty times different.
But even so, it’s not available on the market!
Co-authors are short season plants.
"Sell? I guess there is no way to sell it. All the red rhizomes in Yanmo City will be used to make 'dragon jade', and they will be bought immediately if they appear on the market." Dolly blinked. As a dragon jade, that is,
One of the pastry makers in front of Hei Duo, she knew exactly where Hong Zhi was going.
Anyway, the plant Red Rhizome no longer exists in the vegetable market in Yanmo City.
Hei Duo's slightly excited expression suddenly turned depressed.
Dolly looked surprised, but said nothing. Uncle Ariel asked: "You really want Hongzhi? Why do you want that thing? Aren't you a trainer?"
Across the road, like a mountain, Uncle Ariel knew that red zhizhi could be used to make dragon jade cake, but he didn't know that the medicinal value of red zhihi was normal.
Only pharmacists and drug dealers understand this stuff.
Ordinary trainers don't buy raw materials and make their own like Heido. Most of them buy finished products in stores or simply use Moo Milk.
Don’t underestimate Moo Milk! Although it is just a drink, it is extremely nutritious and can even be drunk by human babies.
Unfortunately, moo milk cannot supplement all the trace elements needed for the growth of elves, and the daily intake of food is not enough.
Therefore, nutritional supplements, energy cubes, Poffins, Poké Beans and other things appeared.
By the way, nutritional supplements also appeared in the game, but at that time they were called another name - enhancers.
HP enhancers, attack enhancers, defense enhancers, these are collectively called nutritional drinks, that is, nutritional supplements.
After all, there is no such setting as effort value in the real world.
Effort values are converted into individual differences, including different weights and heights.
The gap is so big that the malnourished Nidoking is only 1.4 meters tall, not as tall as an adult.
Like Hei Duo, who works tirelessly to make nutritional supplements in order to make the biting land sharks jump up in size, resulting in a different kind of increase in effort value.
Thinking of this, Hei Duo sighed.
"Make nutritional supplements, Uncle Ariel." Hei Duo ate the dragon jade cake in front of him bit by bit, with a look of helplessness on his face. The saddest thing in the world was that it gave him hope and gave him despair.
You said it would be nice if you didn't tell him that Hongzhi's place of origin is Yanmo City.
Uncle Ariel was slightly startled, and then said in an exclamatory tone: "Are you still a pharmacist? You're awesome!"
He praised Hei Duo in a serious way, making him look confused.
Is pharmacist such a well-known profession?
Heiduo tilted his head, and Aunt Dolly, who was sitting opposite him, said, "I have some left over, but I don't have much left. If you need it, I don't mind selling it to you at the cost price."
"Eh? Really?" Hei Duo was pleasantly surprised.
Aunt Dolly laughed and said, "If it's real or fake, I'll take you to get it soon. But there's not much left, only about a pound. Don't expect too much."
One pound, that is, 500 grams, is enough for a long time.
Heido said happily: "Thank you very much!"
If you can buy fresh red zhizi, this trip is worth it!
Uncle Ariel sat on the sofa chatting with Hei Duo and Dolly, while his daughter held his legs and looked at Hei Duo timidly.
Ah Hui brought out a basin of washed fruits and placed it in front of the three of them, "What dragon blood grass did you hear you talking about just now?"
...Can you not be so middle-class?
"I do know a place where there is wild dragon blood grass. If you want, I can take you to pick it." Ah Hui wiped off the dew on his hands with a napkin and looked at Hei Duo and said.
Hei Duo: "Huh?"
"On the mountain in the northwest, the seedlings I saw when I went for special training before had no traces of human activity around them. They must be wild. They should be mature by the time they count." Ah Hui explained.
In one sentence, I explained it to both Uncle Ariel and Hei Duo.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Uncle Ariel frowned, "Special training? The previous qualifying match in the academy?"
There is also a trainer academy in Yanmo City, and there are quite a few people attending it.
Ah Hui responded.
Hei Duo nodded wildly, and then said in confusion: "Ah Hui, don't you want it? Hongzhi is so expensive."
Even if you don't use it, it's not a good idea to pick some and sell them for money.
"No, I don't know how to make potions." Ah Hui shook his head, "And those people who collect medicinal materials are too philistine. I don't like to have contact with those people."
Philistine?
Hei Duo thought for a moment and thought that the pig had probably been killed by a merchant who collected medicinal materials.
Those people can't do anything for profit, even killing pigs is trivial.
"Ah Hui, you need to change your thinking." Aunt Dolly put down her tea cup and said with a smile: "You always have to come into contact with people outside. Just be more careful next time."
It does sound like he was tricked and didn't run away.
Ah Hui was noncommittal and made an appointment with Hei Duo after the Dragon King Tournament.
…
night.
Hei Duo, who had dinner at Uncle Ariel's house and bought fresh red zhi from Aunt Dolly's shop, returned to the elf center happily.
Moon Eevee was lying in the basket, not quite understanding why he was so happy because he just bought some plants that looked similar to amaranth.
"With this thing, not only can the energy level of Biting Land Shark be increased slowly, but there is absolutely no problem in at least increasing it section by section." Hei Duo became more talkative after getting the good stuff.
stand up.
Moon Ibrahimovic said thoughtfully: "Hey...how much is one section per section? How long?"
"I don't know, but can you understand the experience gain bonus? If the previous base number is one, then after using fresh red zhi, it will be one point one or one point two!" Hei Duo couldn't help humming a ditty.
One point to one point to two times sounds like a small number, but in fact it is a very huge number.
At least it saves a lot of effort.
Moon Eevee obviously couldn't understand Hei Duo's words. After entering the room, he jumped on the table and started playing on the computer.
Hei Duo didn't need any help. He went into the kitchen, took out all the raw materials, ground them carefully, put them into a jar and stewed them.
Nutritional supplements can only be stored for about two days. After two days, a large amount of their efficacy will be lost, and they will eventually become worse than water.
"Hmm~"
Hei Duo dipped some of it with his chopsticks and tasted it. It tasted slightly sweet and spicy. People should never take too much nutritional supplements. Some of the substances in them would cause damage to the human body, but there would be no problem if they were eaten in small amounts.
In terms of taste, again, different elves like different tastes. Like the giant mantis, it actually likes spicy food, and the spicier the better. It has the talent of Sichuan people.
If the taste of nutritional supplements is not well adjusted, it will be almost like drinking traditional Chinese medicine.
