Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Just like that feng shui master three hundred years ago who invented gunpowder and spread it widely, winning the trust of the people, the glass crafted by Senior Brother Song Qing is also inseparable from the evaluation and feedback of the people.

Sunan Road:

"With so many senior brothers, isn't there even one who can help you?"

Chu Caiwei gave a disdainful snort, her tone tinged with helplessness, "They always say I'm of average intelligence and lack enthusiasm for learning. It seems my path to promotion will be even more difficult now."

Su Nan knew that Chu Caiwei had no interest in alchemy. In fact, most women lacked enthusiasm for science and engineering, which was a common phenomenon in Si 3.0.

Huaiqing is a rare and special person. If she had devoted herself to the field of science and engineering, she would probably have become a female PhD.

In Su Nan's original design, the special advantage in the field of alchemy was reserved specifically for Xu Qi'an.

Since they are from the same hometown and he is of good character, it is not appropriate to completely block Xu Qi'an's path.

Chapter 187 A Different Field is Like a Different World: Its Uniqueness

The beauty of a woman should be cherished, but it is not unacceptable to pave a path to success for others.

Chu Caiwei has a special fondness for food. In the original novel, it was Xu Qi'an who commissioned her to develop chicken essence, which helped her successfully advance to the rank of alchemist.

After pondering for a moment, Su Nan finally decided to pass on his alchemy skills to Xu Qi'an, but it was not appropriate for Chu Caiwei to entrust them to him.

Therefore, the chicken essence will be reserved for Xu Qi'an's use for the time being, and once MSG is successfully developed, it will be enough to help Chu Caiwei.

"Have you heard, Caiwei? I can concoct a magical seasoning for you that can greatly enhance the flavor of food by 15."

With the food flavor enhanced, Chu Caiwei perked up.

"Could you develop some mysterious spices to enhance the flavor of food? Could you help me advance to the level of an alchemist?"

Su Nan said:

"This seasoning is called 'flavor enhancer.' If it can become available in every household in the future, making people's meals more delicious, people will naturally praise you."

Chicken bouillon has the same core ingredient as MSG, and the essence of MSG lies in monosodium glutamate.

At the beginning of the cycle, Su Nan remembered this sentence: The potential impact of MSG on the human body is comparable to that of mobile phone radiation, and its harm is even more significant for people with lower levels of education.

"I know you have a way!"

Chu Caiwei said excitedly.

She had no choice but to seek help from Su Nan, but as the saying goes, "a trade is like a mountain," and Su Nan showed no talent in alchemy.

"Please prepare a few ingredients: sea cucumber, kelp, and shiitake mushrooms. One pound of each is enough; there's no need for more. I can ask the night watchman or the government office to help with the purchase."

As soon as Su Nan finished speaking, Chu Caiwei eagerly chimed in, "No need for further words, just leave it to me! Senior Brother Song has collected all sorts of supplies. If it's not enough, I will send someone to the palace to get more."

"Leave everything to me. You only need to rest and recuperate. When you are full of energy, you can teach me alchemy."

"Then so be it."

The Imperial Observatory enjoys a high reputation, and Chu Caiwei has a close relationship with the princesses, so this matter should be easily accomplished.

"Su Nan, I'm leaving now."

Chu Caiwei suddenly jumped up from the chair, her face beaming with a sweet smile, her eyes sparkling like stars.

After Chu Caiwei left, Su Nan turned his gaze to Xu Lingyue.

Xu Lingyue walked forward slowly, her hands clasped tightly together, looking slightly shy.

Xu Lingyue possesses a fresh and refined temperament, while Chu Caiwei is more charming and lovely; each has her own unique appeal and charm.

Given Xu Lingyue's humble status, she often felt insecure, which prevented her from fully displaying her talents. Su Nan felt pity for her and decided to lend a helping hand.

"come over."

Xu Lingyue sat gracefully on Su Nan's lap, letting him gently embrace her slender waist.

"Lingyue, continue from where you were interrupted."

"Ah."

Xu Lingyue's voice was so soft it was almost imperceptible, yet her body leaned forward slightly, her parted red lips gently touching the other's.

Su Nan took the opportunity to move closer and began to instruct Xu Lingyue on how to kiss passionately. Although Xu Lingyue was a little inexperienced, she was very enthusiastic.

She seemed to have grown closer to him without realizing it, but she didn't feel repulsed by it; on the contrary, she was full of anticipation.

After all, the Xu family was not wealthy, and Xu Lingyue's horizons were completely broadened after she set foot in southern Jiangsu.

Chapter 188 Xu Lingyue's Thoughts: A Flavor Enhancer for Food

The luxury of the Su Nan mansion was breathtaking, and the frequent visits from the two princesses and Wei Yuan and others made her feel its extraordinary grandeur.

Xu Lingyue thought to herself that if she could spend her whole life as a maid in Su Nan, it would be a glorious and proud thing.

She was perceptive and knew that Su Nan was destined for wealth and honor in the future. However, she noticed that he still did not have a concubine by his side.

Xu Lingyue secretly looked forward to it. As the first concubine in Su Nan's household, she was Su Nan's closest person at least until that dignified newcomer arrived.

Su Nan embraced the beautiful woman in his arms, knowing that in other people's eyes, Xu Lingyue seemed fresh and refined, but such evaluations only applied to outsiders.

Even though Huaiqing appears aloof and cold to others, she is completely different in front of Su Nan.

For maids in wealthy households, even those from prestigious families, being promoted to the master's concubine was a promising career path.

Therefore, Xu Lingyue was determined to follow Su Nan...

"Food should be savored slowly, and beautiful women should be encountered one by one. One should cherish the delicious food in front of one's eyes, but also not ignore the delicacies to come. Ultimately, one should savor them one by one and collect them all."

Inside the Imperial Observatory.

"Senior Brother Song, do you have sea cucumbers, kelp, or shiitake mushrooms here?"

A sorcerer dressed in white raised his head from a mountain of bottles and jars, his dark circles, comparable to Zhang Yi's, standing out prominently.

This is Song Qing, a sixth-rank alchemist. Senior Brother Song's promotion was not due to a lack of ability, but rather because he was deeply passionate about alchemy. Therefore, he preferred to stick to his original intention rather than rush for advancement.

His dark circles were caused by the excessive physical and mental strain of the Da Feng Chemical and Biological Business, not by Zhang Yi's situation, which was caused by promoting the domestic sales of Da Feng's entertainment industry.

“Sea cucumbers are abundant, as you know. I have been researching the differences between sea cucumbers and sea urchins and trying to unravel the mystery of whether they can mate.”

"I'm sorry, we don't have any seaweed or mushrooms on hand right now. Please go to the restaurant and choose the best you can find."

Song Qing uttered two concise sentences in a light and understated manner, then buried himself in some unknown matter, seemingly engrossed in some busy task.

Senior Brother Song, give me the sea cucumber and the warehouse key.

"Junior sister, you should devote your energy to the path of alchemy. Your thinking is a bit slow and you are not diligent enough. You still need to work hard to become an alchemist."

Upon hearing this, Chu Caiwei frowned slightly and replied angrily:

"I'm about to use sea cucumbers to nourish my brain, hurry up!"

Song Qing tossed the key to Chu Caiwei.

Soon after, Song Qing saw Chu Caiwei holding a basket full of sea cucumbers and returned the key to him.

Song Qing's face immediately darkened. "At least leave me some. It's not advisable to consume too much seafood at once."

Chu Caiwei knew that Song Qing was extremely meticulous in handling her materials, and that she was also very eager to obtain these sea cucumbers from (Li Wang Zhao).

Such rare seafood could not be found in the restaurant's collection as abundantly as Song Qing's. Therefore, she took all the sea cucumbers that Song Qing had raised, totaling about twenty catties.

"Senior Brother Song, I have a brilliant plan to join the ranks of alchemists. I plan to use these sea cucumbers to create a flavor enhancer to improve the taste of food!"

Song Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, her pupils, surrounded by heavy dark circles, revealing an incredulous astonishment.

Chapter 189 When taking action, be sure to make thorough preparations!

"You haven't even mastered the basics of alchemy, so how could you possibly come up with brilliant ideas? Is it because your desires have spiraled out of control, making you addicted to it?"

"Besides, if you really want to put it into practice, do you really need so much?"

Song Qing gripped the basket containing sea cucumbers tightly, her eyes revealing an anxious expression as if her treasure had been taken away.

Chu Caiwei gripped the large basket in front of her tightly and said firmly:

"Attempts inevitably involve failures; didn't you frequently encounter setbacks in your alchemy process as well?"

Gazing at Chu Caiwei's unwavering expression, Song Qing grew increasingly perplexed, for he knew all too well that she did not possess such abilities.

“Your alchemy skills are still quite immature, and I must personally supervise you to ensure that you do not act recklessly.”

In reality, he was worried that Chu Caiwei would use alchemy as a pretext to devour all his sea cucumbers.

Chu Caiwei resolutely brushed Song Qing's palm away, her tone revealing unquestionable confidence, "Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Li residence on Xuanwu Street, where you will be amazed!"

She had complete confidence in Su Nan, even though she knew nothing about his refining plan, she was well aware that Su Nan was capable of anything.

Song Qing was passionate about the technology field and paid little attention to worldly troubles. As for romance, poetry, songs, and talented men and beautiful women, he had no interest in them at all.

He had naturally heard about the various rumors circulating in southern Jiangsu, but those messages seemed to slip past his ears in a fleeting glance, as he immediately turned all his attention and energy to the study of alchemy.

"Besides the Directorate of Astronomy, it seems there are other people in the Li residence researching alchemy. Could it be the restaurant in the residence?"

He muttered to himself, while Chu Caiwei hurriedly left, her face showing anxiety.

"Could this flavor enhancer be something my junior sister made up? We should investigate it first thing tomorrow morning. We can't let her eat all the sea cucumbers herself!"

The next morning, Chu Caiwei, filled with joy, rode in a carriage and excitedly arrived at the back gate of the Sunan residence.

Her two little legs swung lightly under the carriage shaft as she chewed on dried meat, a look of pleasure on her face.

Behind Chu Caiwei and the coachman, the carriage was piled with several large baskets, which startled Xu Lingyue when she opened the door.

Chu Caiwei jumped down from the carriage, gently patted Xu Lingyue's shoulder, and said in a serious tone, "Didn't the young master instruct that only one pound of each type should be taken?"

"Lingyue, you don't understand alchemy."

Alchemy has an inherently low success rate; even if my senior brothers failed a hundred times, they might not succeed even once. Therefore, when undertaking this task, it is essential to be fully prepared and to stock up on extra supplies just in case.

Xu Lingyue didn't understand, but she thought it was impressive.

"Please come in quickly, the young master's cook has already prepared the dishes."

Xu Lingyue then ordered the servants to move all the large baskets carried on the cart to the kitchen.

The kitchen inside the six-courtyard house was exceptionally spacious, so Su Nan sat on a chair outside the courtyard and began to devise a plan for making homemade MSG.

In this era, due to limitations, we are unable to extract monosodium glutamate, and therefore can only produce relatively simple substitutes.

He only needed to provide the most basic ideas, and then let Chu Caiwei develop them on her own. After all, true food lovers would personally make the dishes, and she would definitely be able to do it.

Seeing the servants carrying in several large baskets filled with seaweed and mushrooms, Su Nan couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
