The boy came back after buying the alum stone. Fang Jinshi crushed it and sprinkled it in the basin of turbid water. Then he said to Prince Li Ka'an: "Let's drink tea for a while to see if it's any use."
After purification, alum stone becomes alum. In addition to being used as medicine, alum can also purify water. This can be learned in junior high school chemistry. Fang Jinshi ate the alum stone given to him by Golden Cotton this morning and knew what alum stone is. What does it look like? I just remembered it.
However, this alum stone has not been purified, and Fang Jinshi doesn't know how effective it is. Prince Li Ka'an took the tea, squatted in the basin and stared at it. Fang Jinshi said with a smile: "Prince, don't be too anxious, this is very slow, you must It took a long time to do it.¡±
This alum stone was indeed effective. The dirt in the turbid water slowly condensed and settled, and the water slowly became clear. Prince Li Ka'an's feet were numb when he was squatting, so he thought about moving the stool over and sitting down to watch. Fang Jinshi was secretly amused, too. by him.
After a long time, at noon, the water in the basin was relatively clear. Prince Li Ka'an stood up straight, stretched his muscles and said: "Young master, this method is really good. What is this 'medicine'? I am willing to pay a lot of money." If you ask for it, young master, just ask." He is wealthy and needs something urgently, so he should ask for a big price.
Fang Jinshi laughed, took the medicine directly and said: "This thing is called vitriol. It is usually sold in medicine shops. The little prince can just find the medicine merchant to buy it. Between you and me, a little It¡¯s a small trick, how much more money do you need.¡±
Prince Li Ka'an heard that he didn't want any money. He stood up straight and said, "Thank you very much. Based on these words of the young master, I have recognized you as my friend."
Fang Jinshi's mood suddenly became brighter, and the previous anger towards Fu Zhirong had long been gone. Although Prince Ka'an had not known each other for a short time, he could already feel his straightforwardness, kindness, and trustworthiness.
Prince Li Ka'an said: "Young Master, it's already noon. I'll treat you to a drink."
Fang Jinshi said: "I still have something to do with Shopkeeper Ji, so let's wait for another day."
Prince Li Ka'an was eager to go back and test the efficacy of the alum stone, so he said goodbye and went back. Fang Jinshi saw him leaving in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't told him that the orb was already in his home, but it seemed that he was worried about it. For Rikaan, this is not important at all.
Just after Prince Li Ka'an left, Ji Changan came back. He came back alone. Fu Zhirong did not come back together. Ji Changan apologized repeatedly. He was busy with official matters and had not finished them until now. Fang Jinshi said: "Time That¡¯s right, how about we go outside and have a few drinks?¡±
Ji Changan agreed, and the two of them left Sihai Bank and walked more than a hundred steps west. There was a medium-sized restaurant here called "Songxia Ju". Ji Changan was a familiar customer and entered first.
As soon as Fang Jinshi walked in, he heard someone shout: "Mr. Fang, what a coincidence, I meet you here."
Fang Jinshi looked up and saw that it was Shi Hao. He was sitting alone at the table in the hall. The table was empty. He had just arrived to wait for the food. Fang Jinshi nodded to him and said, "Mr. Shi, I'm glad to meet you."
Shi Hao said: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite. How about having a few drinks together?"
Fang Jinshi and Ji Chang'an inevitably had some secret things to talk about about the dispute between Cai and Zhao. They didn't want outsiders to come together, but since he invited him like this, Fang Jinshi was not good at rejecting other people's kindness, so he had to say: "Okay, Shopkeeper Ji , how about we have a few drinks together?¡±
Ji Changan said: "Let's go to the private room upstairs together." So the three of them went upstairs to find a private room and sat down. It was secluded here and few people came. From a distance, the scenery was pretty good. ;
