On the first day, they cleaned the cellar and on the second day, they made ice and stored it.
Ren Baqian even brought a few people around the beast park. There were traces of saltpeter in many corners of the walls, especially beside the rooms where the odd-job workers lived. There was a layer of white saltpeter at the corner of the walls.
He arranged for people to collect all the saltpeter and divide it into several batches to make ice. The used ice water would evaporate the water and leave behind the white saltpeter for further use.
Out of the ten people, six of them collected water to make ice, two threw the ice into the cellar, and the other two caught it and placed it neatly.
As the amount of ice in the cellar increased, the temperature of the cellar plummeted. Towards the end, the hands of the two people below were red and swollen from the cold and their bodies were shivering.
Looking at this scene, Ren Baqian really wanted to ask if they were stupid. Wearing a sleeveless vest to work in an ice cellar? Even if they had never seen ice before, they should at least wear two more layers of clothing when they knew it was cold.
In the end, after asking, these odd-job workers only had this kind of clothing. In fact, even during the coldest time, it wasn't that cold.
Ren Baqian had no choice but to let them take turns. Furthermore, he tied two sheets around their bodies to keep them warm.
Especially their hands, they would definitely get frostbite if they kept doing this. He tore two more pieces of cloth and let them wrap it around their hands to keep them warm. As for the two injured ones, he asked them to go to the kitchen and find some snake oil to apply on their hands.
In Dayao, there was plenty of snake oil.
At night, after Ren Baqian had arranged everything for the third day, he hugged the hundred taels of silver and black mud cream and laid on the bed. He couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
One hundred taels of silver. As long as he could find a place to sell it, he would soon have the largest sum of money in his life.
After lying on the bed for an unknown period of time, Ren Baqian felt his surroundings spinning and the room had completely changed.
He was back on Earth again.
He touched the things in his hands. The black mud cream and silver ingots were still there. He estimated that he would soon have a large sum of money. Ren Baqian smiled again.
Ren Baqian rolled on the bed for a while before falling asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Ren Baqian was awakened by a series of knocks on the door.
After putting the silver and black mud cream away, Ren Baqian opened the door in his underpants and vest. He saw a worried Chen Qing outside the door.
Upon seeing Ren Baqian, Chen Qing punched Ren Baqian in the chest and said, "You finally opened the door. I was so worried these few days that I wanted to smash the door open a few times."
Ren Baqian stepped aside to let Chen Qing in. With a sweep of his eyes, he saw the incubator on the ground. When he opened it, he realized that it was filled with food. However, it was already cold. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
"I'm fine, aren't I?" Ren Baqian laughed.
Chen Qing sized him up and saw that his complexion was indeed rosy and much better than ten days ago. He finally felt a little relieved.
Even though he still had some doubts, Chen Qing knew that everyone had their own secrets. If Ren Baqian didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't get to the bottom of it.
"How's the wound? Do we need to go to the hospital for a check-up? "Chen Qing asked.
Ren Baqian pulled up his singlet to reveal the wound. "It's completely healed."
"Your recovery ability is really fast." Chen Qing laughed. "It's good that you're out. My dad will treat you to dinner tonight to thank you."
"Alright!" Ren Baqian laughed as well. He had an idea regarding the black mud cream. However, it required a lot of money and Chen Qing couldn't afford it. He still needed his dad's approval. Chen Qing's dad had always had a good reputation in this city. Looking for him was much more reliable than looking for someone else.
"There's one more thing that I have to tell you. The person who stabbed you previously has been caught. However, we can't touch the person behind it for the time being. "Chen Qing hesitated for a while and said to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian nodded his head to indicate that he understood.
"However, don't worry. As long as there's a chance, I will definitely settle this score."
Chen Qing was stunned for a while. Seeing that Ren Baqian was fine, he went back to work.
Ren Baqian wanted to go back to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed for a long time. He might as well get up and have his meal. After that, he went to buy a spray gun.
He couldn't possibly take out those ten ingots just like that, right? It would be best if he melted them into silver ingots before selling them. That way, he wouldn't get into trouble easily.
After walking around outside for a long time, Ren Baqian carried a spray gun, gasoline, and a small saw. He first cut the ingots in the middle and used the spray gun to melt them.
He didn't need to melt them completely. As long as the surface was melted and the original shape couldn't be seen, it would be fine.
After working for an entire afternoon, half of the ingots were melted. Ren Baqian received a call from Chen Qing, changed his clothes, took the black mud cream, and headed to the restaurant.
At the entrance, he saw Chen Qing waiting for him.
"Why did you bring a gift?" Chen Qing saw that Ren Baqian was still holding something in his hand and immediately slapped his shoulder. "Shouldn't I be the one giving the gift?"
"It's indeed a gift, but it's different from what you think," Ren Baqian said mysteriously.
The two of them went to the private room and chatted for a while. Jiang Nan arrived first, followed by Chen Qing's parents.
When Chen Qing's parents entered the private room, they held onto Ren Baqian's hands and thanked him profusely. After all, in that kind of situation, how many people would sacrifice themselves for their friends?
Regardless of whether Ren Baqian was rich or not, Chen Qing's parents were extremely satisfied with this friend of Chen Qing's. At this moment, Ren Baqian was even more pleasing to the eye.
During the banquet, they kept asking about Ren Baqian's situation. When they found out that Ren Baqian had just left his job, they even had the intention to let Ren Baqian work at the Chen family's company.
Ren Baqian rejected them tactfully at first, then he smiled and said, "Even though I'm friends with Chen Qing, I still have a business proposal that I would like to discuss with you guys. Uncle, you can also give me some suggestions."
Upon hearing Ren Baqian's words, Chen Qing was a little surprised.
Papa Chen did not know what Ren Baqian wanted to say. He had a rough understanding of Ren Baqian's situation, and from his point of view, Ren Baqian did not have the capital to discuss business with him. However, since Ren Baqian was Chen Qing's friend, there was no harm in listening. If he was really interested, there was no harm in investing some money. It could be considered as a repayment for the favor this time.
If he wasn't interested, he could also give some suggestions.
Papa Chen felt that he had good foresight.
"Please speak," Papa Chen said seriously.
Ren Baqian opened the wooden box and revealed the black mud cream inside.
Everyone's gaze was attracted to it, "What's this?"
"Black mud cream, I obtained it by chance in the past and have never used it before. I only thought of it after I got injured. "
"What's its use?"
"It stops bleeding and accelerates the healing of wounds," Ren Baqian introduced.
"What's the effect?" Papa Chen raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he wasn't really interested.
His own business had nothing to do with medicine. It wasn't appropriate for him to enter a field that he had never stepped into.
"The most important thing is the effect. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken it out," Ren Baqian said in high spirits.
In that world, this thing was expensive, but it wasn't considered rare. However, on Earth, it wasn't just a matter of price.
Normally, after a surgery, it would take a few days or even more than ten days before the patient could walk and recover. The long recovery period would also cause the patient to be unable to work for a long period of time. Not to mention the possibility of infection during this period.
However, this black mud cream could heal the wound in a short period of time, completely avoiding the patient's pain and long periods of recuperation.
Ren Baqian took out a fruit knife that he had prepared earlier from his pocket. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he ruthlessly slashed his arm. Fresh blood flowed down like a fountain.
"Ren Baqian, what are you doing?" Chen Qing was shocked.
Papa Chen and Mama Chen didn't look too good either. Hurting yourself at the dining table? What do you mean?
"Ouch!" Ren Baqian took a deep breath due to the pain. Following which, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious, I know what I'm doing."
Ren Baqian showed them his wound and said, "All of you have seen the wound."
Following which, he used a tissue to wipe the blood off and used his finger to pick up a piece of black mud cream to cover the wound.
After he was done, Ren Baqian smiled at them and said, "Don't be anxious, the moment of miracle is coming."
Following which, he felt his arm turn from cool to hot and finally numb and itchy, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
After a long time, those feelings finally subsided and Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the black mud cream on his arm had already become a black scab.
After tearing off the scab, Ren Baqian took a look. Indeed, the wound had already grown tender flesh.
"Alright, the moment of miracle is coming." Ren Baqian smiled. After wiping off the remaining blood stains on his arm with a wet tissue, he showed his wound to everyone.
Chen Qing immediately stood up from his chair and came over to look at Ren Baqian's wound. He exclaimed, "This is simply godly."
Papa Chen was initially a little impatient, but he didn't leave just because of his son. At this moment, when he saw Ren Baqian's wound, he was immediately shocked.
The few of them touched Ren Baqian's arm and to their surprise, the wound had already healed.
Half an hour ago, there was a ten centimeter long wound and blood was flowing all over the floor.
