"50 grams of limestone ore, smash it into particles; grind the green frog into ink powder, take 30 grams; grind the silver-winged bat into ink powder, take 30 grams..."
In the alchemy room, Vivian strictly followed the detailed explanation of the hemostatic potion refining process given by Charlotte to pre-process the materials needed for alchemy.
These materials were the various dried reptiles and strange materials that scared Charlotte when she robbed her yesterday.
She has been afraid of these things since she was a child. The shrunken green frog is as big as a palm. Although its internal organs have been hollowed out and dried, it still has a pair of big red eyes.
The silver-winged bat looks even more lifelike, and its silver wings reflect mirror-like light under the candlelight, but the gray-brown mouse body makes Vivian tremble.
Pick up a green frog with a fire tongs and throw it into the stone medicine pounding basin. Vivian holds the pounding stick, takes a deep breath again and again, and pushes it down hard.
Puff!
A large red eyeball fell off under pressure and flew towards Vivian.
Ahhhh——
The screams instantly resounded throughout the clinic.
Charlotte, who had selected the materials for refining cleaning potions, had just walked to the door of the refining room when she saw a black shadow flash by and a pendant appeared on her body.
"What happened?" Charlotte looked down at Vivian hanging around his neck and asked helplessly.
"It... its eyeball flew out!" Vivian's emotions were a little broken.
Charlotte glanced at the green frog with one eye missing in the medicine pounding basin, and her face suddenly turned colder. "If you can't even handle a dried green frog, then you can leave. In the abyss, no one will spend money to raise a mascot that can only call."
Vivian seemed to be frightened by Charlotte's harsh words, and her hand loosened and fell to the ground with a plop.
"I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Vivian quickly got up from the ground, lowered her head, and said repeatedly.
Charlotte looked at the girl with red eyes, and she didn't feel any guilt.
He was telling the truth. Ordinary people had to work harder to survive in the abyss.
He was still struggling on the survival line, and was almost beaten because he couldn't pay the rent.
He expected Vivian to be more than just a cleaning lady. A water magician, she had a natural advantage in potion refining.
If she could become an excellent pharmacist, she would share a lot of Charlotte's work.
Moreover, the excess potions could be sold to Harry's material shop. Even if the price was lower, there would still be a lot of profit.
"Your task this afternoon is to deal with all the remaining hemostatic potion materials. I'm going to optimize the new potion today. I hope you can stay quiet." Charlotte looked at Vivian and said.
"Yes." Vivian nodded heavily.
Charlotte withdrew her eyes from her and walked sideways into the potion refining room.
Vivian looked at the big eyeball still spinning on the ground. She struggled with her conscience, but she still reached out her hand with trembling hands and grabbed the big eyeball.
A strong feeling of nausea surged into her heart, her face turned pale, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she almost couldn't help but throw the green frog eyeball away.
But when she thought of Charlotte's previous words, she held back again.
She didn't want to be kicked out on her first day of work!
If she left here, it would be difficult for her to find someone who could accept her and was willing to hide her identity.
She needed time to become stronger and a safe shelter where she could hide the account book.
Her father said that as long as the account book was still in her hands, they would not kill her mother.
Trembling, she walked back to the pounding basin, squatted down, put the big eyeball in her hand back into the basin, and picked up the pounding stick again.
This time, she didn't stand far away in an exaggerated way, but squatted on the ground, holding the pestle in one hand and the pestle basin in the other, and started to pound the medicine again with a fearless look on her face.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The rhythmic sound of pounding medicine quickly turned the green frog in the basin into powder. Occasionally, some fragments flew out, but she quickly picked them up and threw them back.
Charlotte looked at this scene with a smile on her face.
There are things in this world that are more disgusting than green frogs. Only by overcoming the fear in your heart can you gain a foothold in the abyss.
No longer paying attention to Vivian, Charlotte began to concentrate on studying the refining of cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents are very important agents for clinics that receive a large number of trauma patients.
As a low-end product among low-end agents, cleaning agents that only have a cleaning effect and no therapeutic effect have a particularly simple refining method.
In the words of the predecessor in the diary, it is: "Just have hands."
"Blue silver grass, dead leaf vines, and spotted bamboo, chop them up, stew them in a pot, and pour out the water when it turns reddish brown. You can boil it three times in one pot."
Charlotte read the diary for a while, and still felt that the refining method was too simple.
But on second thought, the cleaning potion is just a low-level potion to assist in cleaning wounds, and the effect is mediocre, so the simple refining method is reasonable.
And when the patient uses it, this cleaning potion is obviously irritating to the wound, and only the disinfection and sterilization effect should be considered, ignoring the actual experience of the patient when using it.
Of course, in a place like the abyss, the importance of survival and saving money is far higher than the experience.
Putting away the diary, Charlotte weighed the three materials in equal amounts on a balance scale and began to boil the cleaning potion.
"What potion are you refining?" Vivian looked up at Charlotte who was throwing materials into the pot and asked curiously.
"Cleaning potion." Charlotte answered, and after throwing all the materials into the pot, she stepped back a few steps.
Yesterday's successive explosions made him realize that refining medicine is a dangerous job.
"Is that all?" Vivian looked at Charlotte and saw that she just put three kinds of weeds in the pot. Is that a potion?
"Cleaning potion is the lowest-level potion with ordinary effects. It can only be used for preliminary treatment of ordinary wounds. It is natural that it is simple." Charlotte said calmly: "But this is the basic potion of the clinic. It consumes a lot of money. We need to refine more at a time."
Vivian nodded, her eyes full of curiosity.
For Vivian, who graduated from a professional school, pharmacy is a brand new field.
In the past, she didn't have time to pay attention to and understand it. She once thought that it was a job that magicians were deeply involved in, and magic was used to give those bottles of potions magical effects.
And everything she came into contact with today completely subverted her worldview.
Cleaning potion is made of three kinds of grass, and hemostatic potion with hemostatic effect is made of green frogs and bats. Moreover, it is made in a big iron pot with pits and pits, and coal is burned underneath.
As for magic?
There is no magic here.
"Is the medicine made in this way really effective?" Vivian couldn't help but ask her inner doubts.
"At this time, we have to ask our old friend, the royal pharmacist - Jerry." Charlotte took Vivian out of the pharmacy room and opened the drawer of the counter.
In the corner, a sleeping little white mouse holding half a piece of black bread was shaken awake. When it saw Charlotte with its hazy eyes, it woke up instantly and huddled in the corner trembling.
"Meow?" Anna jumped from the cabinet to the counter, poked her head to look at the little white mouse, grinding her claws on the table, eager to try.
"Who is this?" Vivian looked at the little white mouse huddled in the corner, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Let me introduce you, this is the professional drug tester of the clinic, you can call him Jerry." Charlotte picked up the little white mouse, and then neatly tied his limbs to the wooden board with nails, revealing his round belly.
"Aren't you curious about the efficacy of the potion?" Charlotte took a bottle of cleaning potion and a bottle of hemostatic potion from the cabinet, and took a short knife from the drawer.
Vivian suddenly realized what Charlotte was going to do, and was surprised: "Are you going to cut it?"
"If you are interested, you can try it." Charlotte turned the knife handle and handed it to Vivian.
"You should do it." Vivian took two steps back to refuse.
Anna came forward, sniffed the little white mouse first, and then raised her cat's claws with sharp claws exposed.
The little white mouse that was struggling hard immediately stopped moving, trembling, tilted its head, and was actually scared to death.
Anna used her claws to pull the little white mouse twice, and seeing that there was no movement, she lost interest and jumped back to the cabinet.
"Scared to death?" Charlotte gently pressed the little white mouse with her fingers. The heart was still beating. If it was not scared to death, it was pretending to be dead.
Charlotte used a knife to cut the wound that had healed yesterday, and blood immediately flowed out of the shallow wound.
Vivian clenched her fists, with a look of reluctance.
The little white mouse trembled obviously, but still tilted its head to pretend to be dead.
Charlotte dipped a little cleaning agent on cotton and gently wiped the wound twice, then changed a piece of cotton, dipped a little hemostatic agent, and applied it to the wound.
The wound, which was still bleeding, immediately stopped bleeding under the effect of the agent, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just three minutes, the wound was completely healed.
Vivian looked at this scene with a look of shock.
(ΩДΩ)! ! : The wound really stopped bleeding successfully, and it healed!
For Vivian, who always believed that healing magic was the best in the world, this was tantamount to the collapse of her worldview.
"Jerry, thank you for your cooperation, we will continue next time." Charlotte untied the little white mouse from the rack and put it back in the drawer.
"Thank you!" The unconscious little mouse turned over and climbed up, shrinking into a corner and shutting himself in.
"Do you have any more questions?" Charlotte looked at Vivian and asked.
"Boss, I want to learn this!"
Vivian looked at Charlotte with shining eyes, as if she had discovered a new world.
If she learned how to make potions, she could cure diseases and save lives without magic!
