14. Can't make alchemy
On the first day of business, we made thirty thousand taels of silver.
After closing time in the evening, Luo Wei closed the Liulic Pavilion and returned to Bai Mansion. He told Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing about this matter, making the two women open their mouths in surprise.
"Thirty thousand taels of silver, does anyone really offer such a high price?" Xiao Qing asked repeatedly.
Luo Wei nodded, took out the signed contract and showed it to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but sigh, it turns out there are so many scapegoats in the world.
Bai Suzhen asked curiously: "Avi, how much was the purchase price of the glazed Maitreya Buddha you sold?"
Luo Wei stretched out a hand and said: "Five hundred yuan, converted into the currency of the Song Dynasty, is about the same amount, equivalent to half a tael of silver. Although there may be a slight discrepancy, the difference is pretty much the same."
At this moment, even Bai Suzhen was amazed. Something worth half a tael of silver was sold for 30,000 taels.
This is much faster than grabbing money.
Xiao Qing couldn't help but said: "If we buy more, then will we have the money to buy that spaceship soon?"
Luo Wei nodded, and then told Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, "After we get the silver, we need to exchange it for gold as soon as possible."
"Why?" Xiaoqing asked puzzledly.
Luo Wei said: "In my world, gold is the hard currency, and silver is worthless."
"Not worth it?"
"Yes, in your world, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, right."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing nodded.
Luo Wei continued: "But in my world, there is too much silver, so silver is not valuable. One gram of gold can be sold for hundreds of yuan, but one gram of silver can only be sold for a few yuan. The difference is dozens of times."
After hearing this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "There's actually such a big difference?"
Luo Wei nodded and said: "That's why I want to exchange the silver into gold. Gold is the real hard currency. And I have something more worrying."
Bai Suzhen asked: "What happened?"
Rowe said: "In those worlds with spaceships, where humans can sail between planets, gold may become quite common, not even hard currency."
"If by then, gold depreciates to the level of silver, it will not be easy for us to buy a spaceship."
Xiaoqing was immediately anxious. This spaceship was related to whether she could have a private moon, so how could she neglect it.
"What should we do?" she asked impatiently.
Luo Wei thought for a moment and said, "This is easy to handle. We can make two preparations."
Bai Suzhen asked: "Avi, what are you going to do?"
Luo Wei said: "On the one hand, we continue to make money. After all, in many worlds, gold is hard currency, so the more gold, the better."
"If gold has not devalued in those worlds that have spaceships, we can use gold to buy spaceships."
Bai Suzhen nodded, approved this method, and asked: "What about another preparation?"
Luo Wei said: "Generally speaking, in a world with advanced technology, human beings focus on scientific research and ignore their own life span."
"Of course, not all worlds are like this, but in most high-tech worlds, human lifespan has not made much progress and is still only a hundred years."
"Even if technology improves a little, people can only live a hundred more years at most."
"It's not easy to live for hundreds of years."
For example, in Star Wars, even though the Death Star that destroyed the planet was invented, human lifespan is still pitifully short. Most humans still only have a lifespan of a few decades or hundreds of years.
Very few people live long lives.
This is true even for Jedi Knights who have the power of the Force.
In Star Wars, the only Jedi Master Yoda has truly lived for hundreds of years.
But this master is not human at all.
Luo Wei continued: "But in this world, it is different. There are immortals and Buddhas in this world. Immortality is not a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water, but a real existence."
"We can definitely use the method of immortality, such as life-extending elixirs, to make deals with wealthy people in the high-tech world."
"I believe that these wealthy people will definitely agree."
"After all, immortality is the dream of human beings. From traffickers and pawns to emperors and ministers, there is no one who does not desire immortality."
"Even if they live an extra ten or twenty years, it's enough to make them flock to him."
"At that time, if gold really depreciates, we can completely exchange the life-extending medicine for the spaceship."
"With money in one hand and life in the other, everything will definitely go against you."
When Luo Wei said this, he looked at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing with bright eyes.
Bai Suzhen nodded, "Yes, from ancient times to the present, there are indeed many people who are crazy about pursuing immortality, and even the emperor is no exception."
"If you have money in one hand and lifespan in the other, you can do anything to your detriment."
"But, there is a little trouble."
Luo Wei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked: "What's the trouble?"
Xiao Qing was outspoken and said immediately: "We don't have a way to live forever, nor do we have a life-extending elixir."
Luo Wei said: "Don't you know how to make elixirs?"
Xiao Qing said: "We monsters are born to be raised, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon to strengthen our bodies. Once we become monsters, we will have a long life. What kind of elixir can we practice?"
Luo Wei couldn't help but look at Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen turned her head to one side and said, "I really don't know how to make elixirs, let alone how to refine this life-extending medicine."
Ah this...
He did not expect that the famous Bai Suzhen could not even make an elixir.
"That's wrong." Luo Wei suddenly reacted and said, "You obviously know medical skills, why can't you make elixirs?"
In the plot of Green Snake, Luo Wei remembers that after she married Xu Xian, she opened a security hall and treated the people in Hangzhou every day.
Xiaoqing glared at Luo Wei angrily, "Seeing a doctor and making elixirs are two different things."
Luo Wei was not speechless.
Not long after, he suddenly realized that Xiaoqing was right, seeing a doctor and refining elixirs were two different things.
No one stipulates that Bai Suzhen must be able to make elixirs.
This is troublesome. If Bai Suzhen doesn't know how to make elixirs, what should she do... and so on.
At this moment, Luo Wei suddenly thought of someone.
"I remembered." He clapped his hands and said.
Xiao Qing was startled and asked, "What did you remember?"
Luo Wei said quickly: "Do you still remember the blind Taoist priest in the movie?"
Xiaoqing was reminded by Luo Wei and remembered, "You are talking about that blind Taoist priest who is not very capable and has a very bad tone."
Luo Wei nodded, "Yes, it's him. I remember that he noticed your identity, and then spread realgar near the Bai Mansion, trying to catch you to make elixirs."
Xiao Qing reacted immediately, "Yes, he wants to catch us making elixirs, which means he can make elixirs."
