Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

The elder caressed the skin: "It's not difficult to sell such a good thing."

Xu Jiu thought for a while: "If there is such a leather, where can it be sold?"

"There is a government-run leather workshop in the manor, and many rich people in the city will buy leather in shops. There are also retail stalls on the street, and they can sell a lot." The elder talked eloquently, "I'm old, I haven't been there for a long time. The manor is gone, you should know better than me in the manor."

"The leather of retail investors is relatively rough in workmanship, and the smell is relatively strong. The fishy smell has not been removed. But because it is cheap, the business is not bad. The leather of the store is of three or six grades, and the best one is similar to ours. It can be sold for one silver coin. It is very popular among rich people in the city."

"A silver coin?" The old man looked down at the things in hand, "Is this piece of leather worth a silver coin?"

The rest of the people in the room raised their heads when they heard the sound, as if they were frightened.

Xu Jiu looked at Grandma and the others, and nodded: "This leather can indeed be sold for a silver coin."

The old man was silent for a while: "You didn't buy this thing, did you?"

Xu Jiu didn't answer, but asked another question: "Abo, if we have this kind of leather, how can we sell them?"

The hand of the elder holding the cup trembled: "What do you mean?"

"You can't go to the manor to sell. For one thing, the leather farm is an official camp. It's hard to say whether we can enter the city or not. As long as we appear on the street, we will be noticed immediately, and we may earn money. Besides, leather sellers Retail investors are generally handed down from family, and they all have their own unspoken rules, and outsiders entering rashly will only intensify conflicts and cause trouble.”

The elder nodded: "No one in the wasteland is a good stubble, you have indeed grown up." Then the subject changed, "After talking so much, what is your plan?"

"Abbe, I tanned this leather myself."

"What!" The three people in the room said in unison.

Xu Jiu took a deep breath and nodded affirmatively.

The elder stood up and pointed at Xu Jiu: "You—you—"

Xu Jiu also stood up, as if he didn't know how shocking the news he had said, with a calm expression on his face: "Auntie, if you find a market for the leather, I can pass this craftsmanship on to Grandma and Grandma first. Let our village have another source of income, thanks to Abo and Amo for taking care of me."

Grandma couldn't hold back anymore, and asked loudly, "Jiu, are you serious?"

Xu Jiu looked at the elder: "It depends on Uncle's intention."

The old man beat his chest excitedly: "What do I mean?! This is a great thing, if I don't catch it, my brain will be hit by a stone!"

Xu Jiu laughed, and secretly wiped off the sweat on her palms: "I was afraid that Uncle would disagree."

"You have too many thoughts, you kid, and you still set me up for a long time!" The elder angrily hit him with his cane, "You have so many thoughts, and I live such an old age, what else can scare me!"

"Yes." Xu Jiu nodded obediently, "Abbot has to keep this matter a secret first. I mean, a few people will try it first. Besides, Abbot, don't say that I came up with this recipe."

"how?"

"I don't want to cause trouble. Uncle, I just need to be a servant in the manor, and I don't want to cause other troubles."

The old man pondered: "Could it be that the source of the prescription is improper?"

"Don't worry, Uncle, I'm the only one who knows about this recipe. But Uncle also knows that money is never revealed. If I let others know that the prescription was given by me, I'm afraid troubles will follow."

The elder nodded: "Then let's not talk about it."

The two discussed it properly, and when it was almost noon, Xu Jiu declined the meal at the elder's house and went home with his mother.

"Nine, where did you know about the prescription?"

"Mom, I figured out the recipe myself."

Grandma looked at him, suddenly very strange: "Jiu, you have a big idea now, when birds grow up, they all want to fly high."

Xu Jiu looked up, the sky was leisurely and far away, and birds flew by from time to time, and said with a smile: "Yes, Mom. Where did they fly to?"

Grandma was stunned: "My nine... don't know where it flew to."

Xu Jiu turned her head abruptly, her heart was turbulent, and she opened her mouth: "Grandma?"

The woman looked at him and reached out to touch his head: "Although the baby bird will eventually leave the nest, it's good that you can still remember grandma."

Xu Jiu turned pale and nodded subconsciously.

After returning home, he lay in the sandpit behind the house with only one sentence in his mind: So she knew it too.

Xu Jiu rubbed his face, looked up at the sky, once again felt the emptiness and lack of whereabouts when he first came, and the shame of sitting on pins and needles.

He was never a good actor, he didn't know who the former Jiu was, and he couldn't be a conscientious actor.Even Ba can see it, let alone the mother who gave birth to him?

He didn't want to think, everything was so absurd and upside down, there was always a corner of his heart that was in constant anxiety.At that time, I was anxious to leave home, but I also wanted to hide this haste.

No one knew he was Xu Jiu.

When you meet the king, make a promise, and repay it with Qiong Jiu.

……

A stout woman appeared on top of him, she was still carefree as usual: "What are you doing lying here, why don't you go eat!"

Xu Jiu smiled stiffly, got up and patted off the sand on his body and followed behind.

"This is the meat you brought back. Don't you want to eat it cooked? I cooked it for you."

"Thank you, Mom." Xu Jiu took the big piece and started to chew.

"Thank you for what you say, there are many problems!"

Xu Jiu smiled embarrassedly.

"Grandma, can we borrow a beast cart here?"

"Your uncle's family has a broken scooter, but there is no driving beast."

Xu Jiu smiled and said, "Great, I can take Grandma to the castle to have a look."

"To the castle?"

"Yeah, if you want to learn how to make leather, it's good to go to the castle together."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to you."

Xu Jiu nodded.

Grandma went out, Xu Jiu went to pack up after eating, and when Grandma came back, there was the elder's wife behind her.

"Your uncle said that if you want to leave, you should go early, and you can leave after dinner."

Xu Jiu was not surprised. If he brought two people with him, it would indeed be much better to go now than to slander her.

He nodded and tied up the package: "Aunt, you pack it too, I'll go get the car."

After saying that, they acted separately, and after Xu Jiu had harnessed the cart, Grandma took half a leaf of mutton and gave it to Grandma Wu, asking her to help take care of the sunflower beast.Then they locked the stone house, got into the carriage, and the three of them set off under the strong sunlight.

Xu Jiu drove slowly, firstly because he was not familiar with the road, and also because he was worried about the two people who were going abroad for the first time, listening to their chat was also a pleasure.

"That village is similar to our Dasha Village."

"It's not as beautiful as our village, and it doesn't even have people."

……

"That's the manor? It looks like a big bird's nest!"

"That black tower is so tall! Listen, what's ringing in that big room?"

Xu Jiu turned around and found that the two were staring at the quarry factory curiously, so he replied, "That's the quarry factory, the property of the manor."

"Is the manor inside the stone wall?" Ah Mo was curious.

"Yes, if you enter the city wall from that city gate, you will find the Outer Manor, a bustling city. The black tower Grandma mentioned is the inner manor, and that is the real manor. The lord lives in the Black Tower." Xu Jiu As he was talking, a feeling of kindness ignited in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to turn around and take a look at Pangpang, the housekeeper, and Du Tuxuanshuang.

There he doesn't need to pretend to be another person, but is fully accepted as Xu Jiu.

"Are you working as a servant there?" The two women stood up unsteadily, wanting to look further.The city glows like a beautiful mirage in the desert.

"Yes!" Xu Jiu echoed loudly.

"It's so beautiful!" The two women were shocked and speechless.

Xu Jiu stopped the car deliberately, and looked into the distance with them: "It's really beautiful."

Dutu Manor is a real pearl in the desert.

Xu Jiu looked at it for a while, then pulled the reluctant women away.

"I'll ask the housekeeper to give two orders to enter the city someday, so I can take you inside, grandma, to have a look."

"Really?" The two laughed together like little girls.

"Well, I'll try it."

His few words brought the atmosphere to a new climax, and the women were all planning what to wear when they went to the city.

After another hour, I finally entered the barren cliff. The pale yellow and flat highland seemed to be cut vertically by an axe, and the remaining half stood tall. On the highest point of the highland, stood a huge and majestic castle.

"That's Barren Cliff Castle."

The carriage goes up from the winding road, with abandoned sculptures on both sides, and a huge goshawk is carved on the outer wall in the center of the castle.On the high steps is the main entrance of the castle.

The door was closed tightly, and one of them was broken, exposing a dark hole.

Xu Jiu stopped the carriage, signaled the two behind him to wait for a while, and slowly opened the door.

The inside of the door was still the same, it was extremely quiet, the stones on the ground had been moved to the corner by Xu Jiu, and the whole hall was much neater and more spacious.

Xu Jiu turned around and made an inviting gesture to the two: "Welcome to the Castle of the Barren Cliff."

The two women were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You really look like a servant!"

Xu Jiu had black lines on his face.

In the next half day, the castle was quiet and became more popular. The two women curiously went up and down to visit, Xu Jiu told: "Li Che Beast is going back to its nest soon, so please don't run too high. "

When his words fell to the ground, the two looked at each other, and quickly ran downstairs: "Let's go to your room first."

"Yeah." Xu Jiu smiled, "I'll cook for you."

"Hey, let's come!" The elder's wife hurriedly said.

Xu Jiu stopped him: "Ah, it's your first time here, I don't even cook, and when I go back, Uncle will definitely beat me."

Grandma also stopped her: "Let him do it, I haven't eaten the food made by this kid yet."

Xu Jiu took the two of them into the bedroom and cooked by himself.

It was still stewed meat, and Xu Jiu cooked it well.After the water boiled, a loud cry sounded from the sky!

"What's this?" Two women came out of the bedroom and asked Xu Jiu crowded by the door.Xu Jiu was also a little apprehensive, but still smiled and replied, "The Liche beast has returned to its nest."
