Knock Down That Tower

Willy pondered for a moment, and asked Ladas in a tentative tone: "Do you have jute grass dried and crushed into powder in your pharmacy?"

Although he asked, Willy did not hope that Ladas would have jute grass. Because jute grass, like licorice grass, has a very narrow use except for its lower price, few herbal medicine dealers do its business.

"Jute?" Radas frowned, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, but it hasn't been crushed after drying. If you need it, I'll let Kool crush it into powder now."

Ladas would never buy jute grass, a medicinal herb that has no market, but a few days ago, an old man in ragged clothes came to the store with a handful of jute grass and wanted to sell it. It just so happened that Ladas was in a good mood that day. Seeing that the old man was pitiful, and this medicinal material was really not very common, he accepted it at a low price. Listening to Willy's tone now, it seems that this jute grass can be of great use.

"Very well, since that's the case, then quickly grind it into powder and bring it over, and by the way, bring a large basin of clean water over."

Willy didn't expect that Ladas actually had something like jute grass, which would save him a lot of effort.

Ku'er didn't wait for Radas's instructions, and trotted out of the yard all the way.

In five or six minutes, he came over with a large basin of clean water, and took out a ceramic jar from his arms. The jar was open and filled with pale yellow powder. Willy didn't deliberately lean forward to sniff it, but he also smelled a faint pungent odor. It was jute grass powder.

"Is it enough?"

Kool handed Willy the jar full of jute grass powder.

Willy looked at the dose of jute grass powder and nodded: "Enough."

"Brother Willy, what do you want this jute grass powder for?"

Radas was puzzled. He thought about it carefully just now, but he really couldn't imagine the connection between jute grass and these three mixed medicinal leaves.

Willy did not immediately respond to Ladas, but poured a whole jar of jute grass powder into the clear water.

The pale yellow particles contacted the water surface and did not sink directly, but expanded into small blisters, which then burst and merged with the clear water. Although the dose of jute grass powder is not very large, it still dyes a large pot of water a deep yellow.

Immediately afterwards, in the stunned eyes of Ladas and Kuer, Willy poured the entire box of mixed grass leaves into it.

"Brother Willie!"

Radas was dazed for a moment before he came to his senses. He jumped up and asked Willy in an extremely shocked tone: "This will make all the ingredients in the medicinal herbs disappear! What the hell are you doing!"

After the jute grass powder is mixed into the clear water, the clear water has become a potion. If the mixed grass leaves are put in again, it will react violently with the potion, which will make all the mixed grass leaves lose their efficacy. Even if it is sorted out later, it is useless because the medicinal effect has evaporated.

Radas felt that the blood was surging towards his forehead constantly. If his only remaining reason told him that the person in front of him was Thorps' younger brother, he would even throw a punch. This Willy, he completely destroyed this batch of his goods!

"Willi, you are..."

Kool was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't understand why Willy would make such a crazy move.

Seeing Radas's frantic look, Willy knew that the drug dealer had been in the business of medicinal herbs for more than ten years and had not learned any useful knowledge.

"Relax, Ladas."

Willy's face did not change, and he did not have any mood swings because of Radas's questioning: "I need to correct you a mistake first, not all medicinal materials and potions will cause the loss of medicinal ingredients after they are mixed."

"What did you say?"

Radas was a little dazed when he saw Willy's calm look.

"The potion synthesized from jute grass powder will not lose its efficacy after mixing with seventeen common medicinal materials. Among these seventeen medicinal materials, we need to sort Mam grass, vine incense and vodka. leaf."

Willy recounted: "After soaking in jute herbal water, Mam grass, vines and voga leaves will produce a short-term discoloration phenomenon, the surface of Mam grass will appear pale yellow, and the surface of vines will turn dark green, And the vodka leaves are a little whitish. This color change doesn't make the medicinal ingredients lose a single bit. As long as they are dried again, they will become the same color as the original."

"But, why does such a change happen..."

It was Cool who asked the question, and he didn't understand the reason at all about what Willy said.

"Mam grass, vine incense and voga leaves all contain an ingredient called orchidin, but the content of each of them is different, which causes them to have different discoloration reactions with jute herbal water. Again, that's how I sort these three medicinal materials."

Willy put it as simply as possible.

"Brother Willy, do you still understand pharmacy?"

At this time, Radas had already come to his senses, and he looked at Willy hesitantly.

Pharmacy is the most profound and extensive professional discipline in the knowledge of medicinal materials, and only aristocrats and a few commoners can access it. Only those big herbalists would hire pharmacists as their advisors and pay huge fees for it. For a small herbalist like himself, the pharmacist wouldn't give them a second glance.

"I'm just familiar with the habits of planting grass, and I don't understand pharmacy."

What Willy is telling the truth is that he really doesn't know anything about processes such as pharmaceutical research and development in pharmacy.

Radas nodded lightly, and then showed an embarrassed smile. He clearly realized how wrong his excited behavior just now was, and it was the price of ignorance.

"I'm sorry, Willy, I..."

Ladas wanted to express his apology.

"I was too abrupt. I should have explained it to you just now before doing this."

Willy also gave Ladas a step down to save everyone from being uncomfortable.

At this time, Kuer's eyes on Willy changed again. This brother next door, who he hadn't seen for a long time, has become a character that he can't fathom. For a time, he even thought that Willie was better than his big brother Thorpes.

"You can dump the water in the basin now."

Willy stepped forward himself, tilted the basin, and the dark yellow potion was poured out continuously.

Radas's heart was pounding, and this was related to the future of his pharmacy. Although Willy explained the principle to himself before, he still couldn't rest assured that he didn't see it with his own eyes.

Under the expectant gaze of Radas, the water in the basin continued to flow out, and soon the water flowed cleanly, revealing three grass blades of different colors.
