Report

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ren. This is the formula for the black mud cream that you wanted. These are the seeds. Additionally, you will need a few things from wild beasts. Caretaker Ren, you can prepare these yourself."

"Aren't you afraid that I lied to you about penicillin?" Ren Baqian asked with a smile.

"Given Mr. Ren's breadth of mind, I'm sure you won't have high hopes for me." Chen Zisheng said with a serious expression, "Let's not talk about other things. Just this method of saving people today will save many people in the future."

"Thank you very much." Ren Baqian took the list with a smile on his face. It felt good to be trusted by others. He lowered his head and glanced at the paper. Hmm, he didn't understand a single word …

"Mr. Chen, tell me and I'll write it down," Ren Baqian said helplessly.

He asked someone to find a piece of charcoal and sharpen it into a pen. Then, he listened to Chen Zisheng's instructions and wrote on a piece of paper.

Chen Zisheng had even prepared seeds for him. It was still alright at the front.

However, towards the end, Ren Baqian was a little confused.

There was a six-horned dragon that was dried and ground into powder. Ren Baqian's mind was filled with question marks. What was a six-horned dragon? It couldn't be a real dragon, right?

Ren Baqian knew about grinding earth dragons into powder. Earth Dragons are earthworms, right? He just didn't know if the earthworms in this world were any different from those on Earth. But it shouldn't be hard to obtain.

At most, he could bring some back for others to raise.

The last one was the green toad's saliva.

"Nothing else?" Ren Baqian raised his head and asked.

"No, that's all."

"Mr. Chen, do you have any replacements?" Ren Baqian asked.

Chen Zisheng stroked his beard. "Which one needs to be replaced?"

Ren Baqian used his finger to stroke the six-horned dragon and green toad. "Apart from the Earth Dragon, are there any replacements for the other two?"

"These things aren't hard to find. It's just that the medicinal herbs take a long time to grow and the survival rate isn't high. Also, it's a little troublesome to concoct." Chen Zisheng was puzzled.

Ren Baqian felt that it would be better to ask for two alternatives. He didn't know how the creatures in this world were different from those on Earth. Having more alternatives would allow him to have more choices in the future.

"I can replace it, but the efficacy will be greatly reduced. Chen Zisheng said.

"It doesn't matter," Ren Baqian said. There was no need to worry about the effects of the medicine decreasing. An injury that would normally take ten days to half a month to heal could be healed in just a few minutes with the Black Mud Cream. The effects of the medicine would be reduced by several times. Even if it lasted for a few hours, a day, or even two days, it would still be acceptable.

Chen Zisheng mentioned two more ingredients, and Ren Baqian wrote them down. Then, he carefully kept the paper in his pocket.

"I see that your writing is similar to the writing in the books you gave me. I've never seen it before. May I know where Mister Ren is from? "Chen Zisheng asked curiously. He had been holding back this question for a long time, and only now did he ask it.

"China. You definitely haven't heard of it," Ren Baqian replied casually.

Chen Zisheng pondered for a moment. There was indeed no country called China in his memory.

"Mr. Chen, do you have earth dragons, six-horned dragons, and green toads?" Ren Baqian asked. Since the black mud cream was made by the Chen Family Medicine Shop, it was very likely that there were ready-made materials here.

"There are indeed some." What Chen Zisheng said was exactly what Ren Baqian thought. Chen Zisheng then led them to the backyard.

Just as Ren Baqian thought, the earth dragon was an earthworm. Chen Zisheng had dried them, so there was no need for Ren Baqian to bring them back. He would first go back and see if the earthworms on Earth could work.

As for the six-horned dragon, it was kept in a jar filled with water. It was golden in color, had six small horns on its head, four limbs, and a tail. It seemed to be an amphibious creature. Ren Baqian looked at it for a long time and felt that it looked like a salamander, but he wasn't sure.

The green toad was the size of two palms, and its body was rather huge. Its back was full of bulging dots. When Ren Baqian heard its name, he thought it would be green in color, but it was actually brown. According to Chen Zisheng, this thing was green before it matured, and it would only turn brown after it matured.

"Can you give me this six-horned dragon and green toad?" Ren Baqian asked.

Chen Zisheng stroked his beard and said, "This is a small matter. However, Mister Ren, you have to take note that if you touch the green toad with your skin, you will get a rash that is painful and itchy. If you want to cure it, you can only apply the juice of the nine-wood flower to the rash. Otherwise, you will have to wait for a month for it to slowly fade.

If you want to extract its saliva, you just need to smear honey on a wooden stick and lick it clean.

"Understood, thank you." Ren Baqian was delighted.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He had already obtained the formula and ingredients for the black mud cream.

He just needed to bring it back to Earth and hand it over to Chen Qing.

After that, it would depend on their research.

"Alright, it's getting late, I still have to go back. I will teach you some other day. You can try the production method of penicillin and verify its effects. The earlier this thing is produced, the more people can be saved. " Ren Baqian asked the two of them to carry the jar and asked for some nine-wood flowers. After asking them what they ate, he stood up and bade them farewell.

"Mister Ren is kind, I admire you very much," Chen Zisheng said.

"I just want to save as many as I can. Human life is precious," Ren Baqian said. However, he didn't notice the looks of admiration on Teng Hulu and Tie Dao's faces.

They had witnessed everything that happened today from start to finish, and naturally knew the cause and effect.

Not to mention other things, Ren Baqian's act of teaching others his skills just to save a few strangers made them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

On the way back, Teng Hulu and Tie Dao looked at each other with the jar in their hands and shouted, "Caretaker Ren!"

"What's the matter?" Ren Baqian was in a good mood. He had obtained the formula for the black gypsum and also saved someone.

For an ordinary person, saving someone seemed to be very far away from him. He felt happy from the bottom of his heart when he thought that another person's life was saved and a family was saved.

"In the future, if you need anything, just let us know. We will definitely do it well," Tie Dao said.

"Just because of what happened at the medicine store today?" Ren Baqian tilted his head and looked at the two of them.

"We are not good with words, but Caretaker Ren is a capable person who cares about the lives of strangers. We are willing to work for someone like Caretaker Ren, "Tie Dao nodded and continued.

"Yes, Caretaker Ren is a good person," Teng Hulu echoed.

"Haha, that's good," Ren Baqian said happily and patted their shoulders. As for the specifics, he would see in the future.

On the way back, Ren Baqian looked at the dagger in his hand and thought to himself, could all the daggers in this world be divine weapons? Perhaps the dagger that that person gave him could cut through iron like mud?

Thinking of this, he pulled out the dagger. The blade was black, half a finger thick, and there were some rust stains on it. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like a divine weapon at all.

Holding onto his last glimmer of hope, he slashed at a tree by the roadside. The tree was not cut into two as he expected. There was only a scar on it. Immediately, he knew that he was thinking too much.

Other than being thicker and blacker, it was not much different from a kitchen knife that cost ten dollars on Earth.

Fairy tales were indeed all lies.

The few of them returned to the beast park and the kitchen was already empty.

Teng Hulu and Tie Dao sent the jar back to Ren Baqian's house. Ren Baqian went to pull the cook out of bed and said, "Come, I'll give you something good."

"What is it?" The cook followed Ren Baqian out of the house with a blank look on his face.

"Go to the kitchen and prepare some meat first. I'll go get something." Ren Baqian patted the cook's back and went straight to the room to get some spices.

When he reached the kitchen, he put it on the table.

"Look, it's good stuff."

"Are these the spices that Caretaker Ren uses in the imperial kitchen?" The cook opened the small bag and was pleasantly surprised when he saw what was inside.

"Oh, you're quite well-informed." Ren Baqian patted the cook's back and said.

"Hey, I have a brother who works in the imperial kitchen. Today, he even asked me about you." The cook touched the back of his head and gave a simple and honest smile.

"Yes, I'll tell you how to use these spices. This seasoning is for stewing, this cumin is for roasting meat, this pepper is for …" After Ren Baqian told him how to use them, he reminded him, "Use them sparingly. It will take a long time for us to grow them ourselves. These things will be gone after we use them up. "

"Grow them ourselves?" The cook immediately lost his voice.

"Of course, these things are not for sale. If we don't grow them ourselves, where are we going to get them?" Ren Baqian said.

"However, other than the ones that are used by the imperial kitchen and you, the rest will all be mine. I still need to sell them for money. "

"Hehe, hehe …" The cook laughed foolishly. As long as he was given some to use, nothing else mattered.

After Ren Baqian finished speaking, he said to Teng Hulu and Tie Dao, "Did you hear that? I got those two plots of land to plant spices. The two of you can help keep an eye on them and make them eat more. "

"Caretaker Ren, don't worry. Even if Caretaker Ren didn't remind us, we wouldn't slack off, "the two of them patted their chests and said.

Ren Baqian believed this. Over the past few days, he hadn't seen a single crafty person.

He had to admit that the people of Dayao were indeed honest and capable. ,

After waiting for half an hour, the meat in the pot was still not ready, but the aroma of the meat assailed their nostrils. The smell made them even hungrier.

"Caretaker Ren, you are here? I haven't seen you for a whole day, "Caretaker Shi said as he walked in.

"I was delayed outside. Caretaker Shi, what is this? "

"Come and get something to eat. What are you stewing? Why does it smell so good? I can smell it from afar. "Caretaker Shi's eyes were fixated on the steaming pot.

Ren Baqian laughed. Caretaker Shi was actually here to look for food. "You are just in time."

The few of them anxiously looked at the cooked meat in the pot. Each of them took a bowl and smelled the aroma. They didn't wait for the meat to get cold before stuffing it into their mouths.

Every one of them cried out from the scalding heat and snatched the meat while it was still scalding.

Seeing them like this, Ren Baqian's appetite increased. He felt that the meat today was especially fragrant.

After the few of them finished their meal, Ren Baqian sat at the entrance and chatted with Caretaker Shi.

Ren Baqian was impressed when he saw Caretaker Shi holding a bowl of meat soup and occasionally spitting out mouthfuls of it. In this meal just now, the few of them ate at least 1.5 kilograms of meat each. The few of them only ate a huge hind leg.

No wonder the people of Dayao have such good physiques. Indeed, good physiques are supported by a good appetite.
