Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 113 Seasoning
What is Sandan?Unlike lead and mercury, this is a road that is far from being popular.

Chen Yu flipped through the book, and found that the cover was not old. It must have been a new work, or had been copied.

Sure enough, I heard You Ke say: "Hahaha, I expect the Taoist priest to be interested in this alchemy book."

Earlier, he got it from a semi-hidden Taoist temple south of Wuhu, and wrote it on bamboo slips.Fortunately, the handwriting is clear. Although the master of the Taoist temple in that side couldn't tell the origin and source, after some research, You Ke still deduced a lot, and copied and rubbed the entire alchemy book.

"According to the records in the book, it should be completed after the Great Kang Dynasty and during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. His name is Fengyunzi. This book contains all the methods of seeking Taoism and alchemy."

Having said that, Chen Yu found that the pills on it were very different. There was almost no mention of lead and mercury. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a medical book.

"A rich merchant?"

Hearing You Ke's words, something came to his mind.

This Yin Shang is very different from the Yin Shang in the previous life. In the land under our feet, there was a dynasty 800 years ago, named the Great Yin, and the founder of the country was the Shang family.

Collectively, it is called Yin Shang, or Shang Yin.Whether it is close or not far from now.At that time, Taoism had already risen, and Taoism would go back hundreds of years.If you blindly follow what is said in the Taoist scriptures, there was an ancient theory of Taoism when the world first opened, of course, that is totally unbelievable.

However, Great Yin was indeed an era when Daoism flourished.

"800 years, how did this bamboo slip survive? Is it really magical? An ancient scroll?"

"Originally, the old man was also amazed. With the texture of ordinary bamboo, it is difficult to preserve it to this extent even with various methods."

You Ke smiled and said, it turned out that the bamboo slips he got were also excerpted and sorted out by a certain Taoist sage.

Not even one person. For more than [-] years, dynasties in the world have changed continuously, and the Great Yin, known as the prosperous age of Taoism, also fell apart.

"Perhaps someone else transcribed it again, wandering about for decades, and was finally discovered by the old man in the corner of the Taoist temple."

Chen Yu nodded, thinking that this should be the case. Although ancient bamboo slips were often unearthed in the previous life, they were all broken and incomplete. Even with the technical support far beyond the current one, it is very difficult to restore them.

And this bamboo slip is so well preserved, I don't think it will be too long in the future.

Then, the two talked about "Fengpu Sandan" for a long time, and each got something.

Chen Yu is far inferior to You Ke in terms of pharmacology, but also, in terms of Taoism manager, the other party, a layman with little knowledge, is even worse than him, a half-baked guy.

After all, it is a book of alchemy, and some Taoist words and sentences in it may sound remote and profound to others.

Chen Yu also had a hard time reading, but it was much better than You Ke.

"There are eleven kinds of elixir recipes recorded on it, but the types of five kinds of medicinal materials are unknown. It is not clear whether they are extinct or are incorrectly recorded."

When you close the book, you can hear You Ke sigh.The reason why he wanted to transcribe this alchemy book at the beginning was that the pills recorded did not contain poisonous substances such as lead and mercury, and secondly, there were many pills in it for diseases such as dysentery, red tongue disease, and rotten eyes. The words of Taoism, but the bottom line is these diseases that have plagued many disease doctors.

Later, You Ke tried to make a few pairs, and it was really effective, and it came in handy one time.

It's a pity that many of the above prescriptions use too many Taoist theories, which are cloudy and foggy, and it is a headache to study.

But the prescription is correct, at least part of it has been confirmed, but the rest is either incomplete, or the ingredients of the medicine are not known, so it is useless.

"Pin Dao seems to have seen several kinds of medicinal materials in Taoist scriptures. If you find them in the future, you can entrust a copy to the layman."

Chen Yu said, this is true, the books written by Taoist priests are sometimes like this, obviously the same thing has other interpretations in the Taoist manager, and the name will change.

You Ke also thought the same way. In fact, several prescriptions were recovered only with the help of Taoist friends.

There is more than one copy of the alchemy book, and giving it to Chen Yu is a good relationship.

"At that time, you can entrust it to Huichun Hall in Huayin County."

Especially for smiling and stroking his long beard, leaving room.

Chen Yu silently remembered that it was still too early to entrust, so he had to find someone who could go to Huayin, or a caravan.

In fact, if it was in the time of Dazhao, this kind of matter could be directly entrusted to the official post station, and at most it would cost another meal and drink money.

Worry-free and convenient.

After that, they talked about the love between the north and the south and the anecdotes of idlers.

"Layman, leave it alone."

After Chen Yu left the village, You Ke would have to observe for a while longer to prevent the relapse of that elder sister Liu's condition.

Although armed with force, he has a benevolent heart.

After a brief chat, the two made an appointment to see each other again.

"When I go to the Five Lakes, I must lead the Taoist leader to Bailihua to see the endless sea of ​​flowers."

"Pindao will write it down here first, and I will have to trouble the layman to worry about it."

"Hahaha, as it should be!"

……

Qingtai Mountain, Cloud Crane View.

In the evening, Chen Yu walked up the stairs slowly, dragging his big and small bags.

Under the peach tree, a chestnut red deer was half lying on the ground, with half of pink petals drooping from its mouth.

He was stunned for a moment, looked left and right after looking at the peach tree for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at the ground again, it is clean and not as colorful as before.

Yo~
"Eat everything on the ground, you bastard..."

It was a little funny, Chen Yu rubbed the opponent's forehead, went to another peach tree to the side and picked one and handed it to Xiaolu's mouth, but the opponent sniffed it and turned away, ignoring it.

Shaking his head, he threw it into his mouth.

A bit bitter, but nowhere near the one next to the deer.

"The inspiration worked."

However, the deer still foolishly guarded under the tree, ignoring the other peach trees.

"That's good." Chen Yu thought it was a good thing. He could enclose the few peach trees that had been put in inspiration with wooden fences in advance, so as to save the other party from destroying them.

I have to take care of it again.

He thought that the peach blossoms in this world bloom very late, and the peaches will also be later, and it is estimated that they will not ripen until August or September.

Avoiding the gluttonous deer who often come here to eat and drink, Chen Yu took all kinds of goods bought from the county town, opened the courtyard door and put them on the stone table.

"Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar..."

I bought some of these, and they were not too expensive except for the sauce and salt, so I took them out and put them in the kitchen.

He took out another bundle of parchment paper with noodles wrapped in it.

It is not as dry as the one seen in the previous life, it is slightly moist, and it will not last long.

Then, there are some ginger pieces, a pot of fruit wine, and a pack of pickled plums in vinegar.

They are all used for seasoning, especially vinegar plums, which were last year's season. Although there are already plums, they are still very green, far inferior to the bag in hand.

On the way, Chen Yu has already tasted a piece. It is sour and refreshing, sweet as honey, and has a rich fruity aroma, which can be described as a good condiment.

Even as a snack is also very good.
