Chapter 49 Potions
Chapter 49 Potions
On an ordinary noon, Snape's sarcastic voice came out again from the Potions office.
"Look, is this the wormwood hydrosol prepared by our little potion genius?" Snape waved his wand, floating several large glass bottles filled with green translucent liquid in the air, "Look for yourself! What are these things you made?"
"Let me tell you! It's not shit, it's not pure enough! It's all impurities!"
"Use this kind of wormwood hydrosol to prepare white fresh essence, who are you trying to kill?"
As he spoke, he waved the wand in his hand, and those large glass bottles flew towards the sink one after another, pouring all the green translucent liquid inside into the sink one by one.
"How many times have I told you to control the temperature! Temperature! Think it over with your frothy brain."
"Sorry, Professor, I'll pay attention next time." Chiz grinned, looking at the pure dew flowing down the sink with some distress.
What is flowing out is money!It was all made with ingredients bought with his money, and those gleaming gold dragons he took a lot of effort to carry out of the suitcase!
"I hope your hands-on ability is half as strong as your memorization ability. Then I can spend less effort to guide you on these most basic operations. Use your brain when you do it, Keez!" Snape put away his wand, swung his sleeves and picked up the textbook on the desk to prepare for class.
He turned around as he opened the office door and glanced at Keez, "Mr. Keez! I hope to see some useful hydrosols after my get out of class. After all, the deadline for Professor Dumbledore to receive these potions on the list is not far away."
"Good professor! I got it! After you finish class, you will get what you want." Chiz twitched his face and responded helplessly.
This was the fourth time he had messed up the absinth wormwood hydrosol, and the previous three times were almost due to the same reason.
It can only be said that there is still a gap between a theoretical knowledge and a real knowledge, a pair of skilled hands who can do experiments.
Unfortunately, Qiz's talent in potions is all about theory. He can even design brand new potions on paper now, but when it comes to hands-on steps, his ability in this aspect seems a bit mediocre.
It doesn't mean how bad it is, it can only be said that it is of an ordinary level. In his case, people often say that he has high eyesight and low power, and he can only talk on paper.
However, during this period of time, he still made great progress. Although Snape was very harsh and never stopped criticizing him, he was still sincerely willing to teach him, and he showed his real talents to teach him.
Since last week, Snape has recognized Chizz's theoretical knowledge in Potions, and now he doesn't even need to attend the first-year Potions class, and he can concentrate on practicing potion configuration in the Potions office when he has time.
The things Snape taught are very useful and detailed, and many methods and techniques are never mentioned in the books, and should be his own innovative methods.
In the two weeks since he participated in the preparation of these potions, under his guidance, Qizi's hands-on ability has improved rapidly.
Qiz himself felt that he would be able to complete most of the configuration of potions independently in a short time.
After Snape left, Keiz didn't immediately start making absinthe water, but walked around behind his desk and rummaged through his drawers.
Recently, he has been looking for a chance to take a look at the list of potions that Dumbledore gave to Snape. According to the simulator, this list seems to be related to an unknown war that will happen or is happening in the magic world recently.
But this list has always been carried by Snape, and he has never found a suitable opportunity to check it.
This morning, when he was preparing the absinthe hydrosol, he finally saw Snape take out the list, as if he was planning something, and he didn't take it with him after finishing it, but put it in the desk drawer.
When Snape took out the list, he happened to use his wand to control the temperature of the flame and distill the absinthe hydrosol.When I was distracted, the temperature was a little higher, and I burned the absinthe hydrosol that was going to be used to prepare the white fresh essence today.
That's why I incurred the scolding just now.
Soon, he found the list in the drawer.It was sandwiched at the top of a potion preparation plan, which should be the configuration schedule and raw material purchase plan formulated by Snape.
Carefully pulling out the list, Chiz quickly browsed through it.
"3000 doses of white fresh essence;
3000 doses of blood tonic;
600 doses of tranquilizers;
600 doses of detumescence agent;
3000 magic power supplements;
Dr. Wuli's Wangyou Ointment 300 doses;
3000 doses of palliative;
Vitality Tonic 3000 doses:
Motra rat juice 900 doses;
3000 doses of antidote;
10 doses of protoplasma medicine;
Shengguling 900 doses;
Enhancer 3000 doses;
300 doses of thick gold liquid (heal and isolate curses);
Awakening agent 3000 doses;
"
Quickly scanning the potions on the list, Keiz fell into deep thought.
Based on the knowledge about potions in his mind, he began to conduct a simple analysis of this list.
The first is Dr. Wuli's Wangyou Ointment. This potion is usually used to treat traumatic thoughts, and each person can only use it once in a short period of time. The effect is immediate, but it is difficult to configure.
Then there is the protozoa potion, this thing is not common, it is very precious.It can help a wizard who has lost his body to initially obtain a weak body.The raw materials for configuring it are worth the old nose's money, and the configuration process is extremely complicated.
Dumbledore actually asked Snape for 10 units, I believe he also lost a lot of blood for this.
Also, the concentrated gold liquid is used to isolate and heal curses. Keiz remembered that in the story Dumbledore drank the concentrated golden liquid that Snape prepared for him after he was cursed, so that he was able to live for a longer period of time.Moreover, this medicine can only be used once in a short period of time, but the effect and duration are quite acceptable.
Observing the quantity and types of these potions, Keiz came to a rough conclusion that there is such an army of about 300 wizards who will go to fight in a few months, or are currently stationed in a place full of curses, vulnerable to trauma, and will continue to suffer from psychic attacks.
According to the required quantities of some potions in this list, such as sobriety potions, each potion can be used for about three days.It can be roughly inferred that they should rely on the potions provided by Dumbledore to stay in that environment for about a month.
It takes a long time to prepare such a large amount of potions. According to a rough estimate, it is extremely fast to prepare these potions one month after Easter in the simulation.
Of course, configuring these potions at the same time requires a lot of money. The sentence written on the title page of the potion book: "This is an endless road paved with golden dragons" is not just a joke.
The raw materials of this batch of potions are worth tens of thousands of Jinlong, and all the raw materials used may be as high as 10,000+ Jinlong.
What is this concept?It's just Lucia's salary of more than 100 years as a high-level Auror.
More than 100 years!Not counting the appearance fee for asking Snape, the 'Master of Potions', to configure the potion.
No wonder Dumbledore asked himself to pay a small amount. It turned out that he seemed to be concerned about the money, and regarded it as part of the punishment for Qiz.However, compared to the big head, what Qiz paid is only a small change, and it has only spent about a few hundred Jinlong in the past two weeks.
There was no other useful information to be seen from the list, and Keiz put it back in its place.
After staring blankly for a while, he went back to the workbench to reprocess the absinthe. It was still a little challenging to prepare the absinthe hydrosol needed for the day before Snape came back from get out of class.
A few minutes before Snape returned, he barely finished preparing today's absinthe hydrosol.
He picked up one of the large bottles with his left hand, and slapped the mouth of the bottle with his right hand, fanning some of the scent towards his nose.
It is the familiar taste, cool, bitter and sweet.Facing the bottle to the last ray of sunset that came in from the window, the light green liquid in the bottle shone slightly golden without any impurities.
"It's done! And the quality is not bad." This should be the best time he has ever done.
A few minutes later, Snape, who came back from get out of class, opened the door and came in, using the levitation technique to deliver the textbooks and coats to their proper places.
He went straight to the workbench, washed his hands carefully, and picked up a bottle of pure dew to check.
Soon, he put down the pure dew with a cold face and expressionless, without taking out his wand, and waving his fingers, he used magic to place the pure dew on the shelf, and other materials prepared by Qiz in advance were carried over.
Turning his head and glanced at Qiz who was standing beside him, "Look! I'll do it first. Today's Baixian essence is prepared by you."
"Good professor."
As his fingers fluttered up and down, a flame was automatically ignited under the dry pot, and all the raw materials were thrown into the crucible.
In a short while, about half an hour later, a master-level white fresh essence was freshly baked.
"Put them in crystal bottles, and it will be your job later." Snape said as he walked to another workbench and began to configure other potions. "You made it yourself. Remember to show me the pot before you bottle it."
"Okay professor!" Keiz replied pretending to be casual and asked, "Professor! How much do you need to make such a large dose of vinaigrette essence? I've basically been making this thing this week. What is Professor Dumbledore going to use it for?"
Snape turned his head to stare at him, and after a moment of silence, "Just finish the work at hand, these are not your concerns! Don't try to find any news from me."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued his work.
Keiz wasn't surprised by this, and didn't intend to extract any useful information from him, but just asked casually.
He took out his wand and moved the crystal vials on the top of the shelf. The crystal vials jumped out of the box one by one, and the stoppers were automatically opened. Doses of vinaigrette automatically jumped out of the crucible and filled into the crystal vials without wasting a single drop.The stoppers are then automatically tightened and all filled crystal vials are automatically arranged in a row.
Keiz counted the filled bottles. Such a crucible of vinaigrette essence can be divided into about fifty doses, which means that [-] doses of vinaigrette essence need about sixty pots without errors.
This is a big project, even if Snape configures a pot by himself, it will take more than half an hour.It will only take longer to switch to Chez.
This is just white fresh essence that can be regarded as a simple potion, not to mention that there are other large doses of high-level potions waiting for them to prepare.
Keiz dispelled the random thoughts in his mind, waved his wand, and these crystal bottles automatically jumped into the grid box, and after filling, the grid box closed itself and flew back to the shelf.
After clearing the countertop, he took a deep breath.
Give yourself a pep talk, he's going to start configuring potions for the first time on his own.
In this way, for a long time to come, Qiz couldn't go anywhere after class, and couldn't do anything. He became an emotionless potion configuration machine.
War is always the most expensive and profitable human activity!Ask for votes!
