Fang Qiuling spent about half an hour repeating the refining process of the energy elixir, and emphasized the mistakes that were easy to make, the places that needed attention, and some small tips.

"Is there anything you don't understand?" He then looked around in the light of the bonfire, "The time is until today's bedtime, and each team has to complete a standard refining process. It starts with the initial selection of raw materials and ends with the final bottling of the drug. Questions? ”

"No problem!"

"Alright, let's get started!"

With an order, the kitten charms began to get busy. They were divided into four groups in groups of five. After receiving a copy of the material, the first step of cleaning and sorting began.

Fang Qiuling suddenly patted his head: "Oh, that's right." Forgot to say it. Although it is only the first time to refine, we still have to test it, and there will be rewards and punishments. ”

"Huh!!"

The kitten people at the scene erupted into a grand exclamation. Because each of them knows how to test a magic potion, that is, the alchemist who refines the potion picks it up and takes a sip of it himself! The potion you refine yourself is the first to drink it, this is the unwritten rule of alchemists. If you don't want to drink it yourself, how can you let the person who bought the medicine use it with confidence?

"Dad, the work of judging will be handed over to you."

Fang Qiuling slapped Old Tom's shoulder with one hand.

Old Tom was about to go to sleep, but Fang Qiuling's words made him stop suddenly: "I'll judge?" How is it judged? ”

"After the refining is completed, as long as you think you are qualified, you can take a sip yourself, and then you can take a sip to see if it's right. You are more familiar with this thing than me, whether it is taste or effect, you are very familiar with it, Dad, right? Fang Qiuling's expression was a little subtle, "You can also help me watch a little." Obviously problematic potions, don't drink them, and don't let the little ones drink them. Of course, I really drank it...... It shouldn't be a big problem, but trouble is inevitable. ”

"Okay, I'll come, I'll come. But I've heard that if alchemy fails or something, it will turn directly into poison? Are you ready for an antidote or something? ”

"Antidote? Said without preparation at all. ”

"Then you let them refine themselves and take a sip!"

Old Tom glared at Fang Qiuling fiercely. If you let the little ones drink without an antidote, isn't that a matter of human life!

"Take a sip yourself, that's the rule, it's good. I was the first to drink when I made the Dark Vision Elixir. Alchemists are the rules. ”

Old Tom touched his beard and stopped talking. Since it is the rule of an alchemist, then it is not easy for him to make irresponsible remarks.

Fang Qiuling continued: "But don't worry. The recipe for this energy potion is improved, and it was originally used to use some of the poisonous ingredients, but it has been replaced. You see, you see, Eliza has already picked it and started washing and chopping it. All of them are common herbs, and they are not poisonous. Most...... Drink at most a diarrhea and get food poisoning. No big deal. ”

There are many formulas for energy potions, and in addition to the classic standard formula, which is enshrined as the "origin", each alchemist will make appropriate modifications to the recipe based on their own understanding and cognition of alchemy. Most of the purpose of modifying the recipe is to reduce costs, reduce wear and tear in the refining process, and adjust the refining process.

Although the energy potion is very cheap and not difficult to refine, it is required in large quantities, and it is a must-have for going out on adventures. The principle of the players is that as long as they don't have negative reinforcements of drug tolerance or drug addiction, then they are ready to drink! Therefore, it is the habit of many players to buy two sets of energy potions when passing by the market.

When there is a lot of demand, then some people start to study formulations to find ways to reduce costs.

The formula that Fang Qiuling took out was not a standard formula, but a formula that the players had improved themselves. The purpose of replacing all the herbs that are "slightly valuable" with those that are "not very valuable" and all the grasslands that are "not easy to obtain" with herbs that can be found everywhere is to reduce costs. At the same time, the refining process has been simplified, reducing the process by nearly one-third in the refining process. However, because the process was reduced and a lot of grasslands were replaced, the refining time was greatly increased. The time it takes for the new recipe to be refined once, and the original recipe can be refined three times, which is very inefficient.

This new recipe is the result of joint research by several player alchemists. In addition to the fact that the raw materials are easy to obtain, there is nothing else, and it is very "chicken ribs".

However, this recipe is just right now to be taken out for the kitten charms to practice. Herbs as raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, so you won't feel bad if you fail in alchemy or mess up. They are all common grasslands, and the pharmacological properties are relatively simple, and they are not afraid that the kittens can make any shocking "one mouthful" poison, at most, they will have food poisoning, and they will be over after pulling their stomachs a few times.

As soon as Fang Qiuling said this, Old Tom was relieved: "Okay, I'll help you look at ......"

As soon as Old Tom nodded in agreement, he saw Fang Qiuling rushing out all of a sudden, it was Eliza's group. Immediately, I heard Fang Qiuling's voice teaching the kitten charms.

"Is that how the knife is held? Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself like this? He is very brave and smart when fighting with goblins. But now you can't use your brain! ”

The kitten next to Eliza stretched out her fingers long when she cut the herbs, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cut her fingers.

Old Tom was also in a cold sweat when he saw it.

The little guy who usually looks clever is so thrilling how to cut an herb.

"How you cut the meat when you cut it, cut it now! Also, move slowly and don't cut your fingers. We're refining energy potions now, not making finger soup! ”

Fang Qiuling's words caused the kittens to laugh.

After correcting the dangerous movements of a little guy, Fang Qiuling returned to Old Tom.

"Thulick, thank you for your hard work......"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Qiuling rushed out again.

"It's good to think of starting to boil water early, and it needs to be commended to you. Be careful when boiling water, though! The pot is very hot, you must not take it directly with your hands! ”

Before he finished speaking, there was an exclamation from the little cat woman.

"Do you see the little bubbles in there? This is that the water has been boiled, and the herbs should be added at this time. But the action of adding medicinal herbs should be light! If you just throw it down like this, it's weird if the water doesn't splash! Look, it's hot. It's just a little bit, it's fine. ”

Old Tom couldn't sit still either, and rushed over to help. He didn't know how to refine it, but it was okay to watch it and not let the kitten charms get hurt.

"Again, wash it clean! You see, this is boiling black mud soup? Cavemen are very fond of black mud soup, are you looking for a blind man as a friend? Throw it all away and start over. ”

"Cut the herbs to be the right size, choose the plump rhizomes in the pot. You look at this, there are big and small, and there are leaves mixed in there. Do it all over again! ”

"Identifying herbs is something you can taste in your mouth...... But stuffing the whole herb in your mouth, are you not full for dinner or what's wrong? If you haven't eaten enough, you can eat a little more, and don't spoil the herbs here! ”

……

Although they have been in class for several days, they have also done a rehearsal with cooking, and they have emphasized it before starting. But the kitten charms are still in constant condition and full of tricks. Fang Qiuling and Old Tom were busy as firefighters, more tired than the kitten charms who were actually practicing.

Lily watched from the side for a while, then couldn't stand it anymore and became one of the firefighters. If nothing else, just don't get hurt by the kitten charms.

As for Shino......

- Shino, you go away for me. You're also from a cat!

Almost another half an hour passed. The first level of the refining process is passed......

Just wash the ingredients, cut them into pieces, and then wait for the water to boil before simmering. With this simple process, each of the four groups of kitten charms messed up several times.

Now we have finally entered the "plateau" of refining, and we have maintained a simmer for one hour. Three pots are set up on the campfire, just look at it.

Old Tom wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead. In the winter, he was busy sweating, and it was really not easy.

"It's really strange, why don't you have so many things to do when you make broth in the afternoon......" Fang Qiuling sat down beside the bonfire, he now had to prevent any little guy from reaching into the bonfire, "The fire can't be touched, and the boiling water can't be touched." Shouldn't this be common sense? ”

"It's common sense, but ......," Old Tom hesitated, but still said what he had in his heart, "the thought of making magic potions makes many things out of the way." He spread out his hand, "Look, I just grabbed ...... with my hand."

Old Tom had a red mark on his palm, apparently burned.

Fang Qiuling rolled his eyes and threw a small tube of ointment to Old Tom.

“…… Take it, it's a medicine for burns. Apply externally, just a thin layer. ”

There was a process of heating and simmering during the refining process, and Fang Qiuling guessed that there might be a kitten charm that was burned, so he found out the scald ointment in the treatment bag in advance. But the trainees are fine, but the firefighters are a little injured, which is really a bit embarrassing.

"It's different when you make broth." Lily also agreed with Old Tom's words, "Can what you eat in your mouth be the same as magic potions?" ”

"What's the difference? Replace the chicken and potatoes with herbs and cook them in the same pot. What's the difference? When you cook the broth, you know that the pot is hot, but you don't know when you cook the herbs? When you cut meat and potatoes, you know that you want to cut them evenly in size, but when you cut herbs, you can't? Obviously, the knife workers are very good, and they are better than me......"

"Well...... this"

Lily and Old Tom looked at each other.

- That makes sense!

But...... Recalling the kitten's action just now, Lily and Old Tom both felt that it would be slightly better if it was them.

"Hey! Don't be too demanding. They're not you, they've grown up with this stuff since they were kids. You're a scholar, so you can't expect them to be scholars. ”

Lily sighed slightly. She is also from a "big family", and she also received family education when she was young, so she knows very well that the old nobles have unique characteristics in education. The children of the nobility can be squirrel, despicable, insidious, shameless, and obscene without a bottom line, but none of them are straw bales. If it's a straw bale, then this guy will be expelled from the family and left to fend for himself.

Comparing the children of the aristocracy with the kitten charms in front of them, the innocence and ignorance shown by the kitten charms make people feel heartache. As long as you can eat your stomach, you are willing to do anything.

"I don't expect them to become scholars, I just hope that they can learn a skill and improve the living standards of the Agarwal cat charms." Fang Qiuling also sighed slightly, "The Agarwal Valley is a good place, wild herbs are everywhere. However, it is a loss to sell herbs directly, they are all very common herbs, except for the volume, the price is OK, and there are no other advantages. But if there is an alchemist, even if it is only for crude processing of herbs. The price of processed semi-finished products can increase several times. ”

Eliza sat down quietly beside Lily, her eyes full of ignorance constantly turning around Fang Qiuling, Lily, and Old Tom. The conversation between the three of them was not deliberately concealed, so it also fell into her ears.

As the most well-informed "eldest sister" among her peers, Eliza knew that the alchemy knowledge imparted by Fang Qiuling was very precious. If the news of Fang Qiuling's willingness to teach alchemy was released, it was estimated that the people who came to listen to the lecture would be able to fill the trade square in Huquan Town. The alchemist in Elune is a man with a head, a face, and a status. If you can learn one hand, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

So Eliza has been studying hard and encouraging her friends around her to learn together.

The course of alchemy is very difficult, even if Fang Qiuling has used his personal understanding to turn many of the esoteric and difficult parts into easy-to-understand metaphors and analogies, and has come up with a lot of "crooked ideas" to help the kitten charms deepen their impression, it is still difficult.

I don't understand the commonly used alchemy terms, I don't have a specific concept of the unit of weight, and I don't understand the unit of volume at all...... The text description of the alchemy recipe is less than ten words, and if you expand it and explain it, it can fill a whole large paper. Fang Qiuling could fully understand the meaning at a glance, but in Eliza's eyes, it was as profound and difficult to understand as a book from heaven.

Eliza has always thought that her head is very good and smart. But after coming into contact with alchemy, I realized that I was as stupid as an ordinary cat charm...... But no matter how hard it was, Eliza didn't want to give up, and she didn't want to give up. As long as she thinks that she can contribute to the village, and in the future, she can use magic potions to exchange food, supplies, and linen for the village, and she is full of energy.

- Brother Thuric said: There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts.

Eliza believes that as long as she works hard enough, she will definitely be able to master alchemy and catch up with her brother!

A little hardship is nothing. Can any of these sufferings be more terrible than being hungry? If not, then overcome it!
