Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…

The heart is like still water, the mind is guarding the Dantian, the mind is used to guide Qi, and the Qi is used to bring blood, and the cycle starts over and over again, and the cycle is endless!

With just a slight attempt, Yu Liang felt the energy and blood surge in his body, as if a powerful force was awakening inside his body.

The previous fatigue was swept away, replaced by a steady stream of energy.

This effect is also great!

Eliminating fatigue and restoring physical strength, this alone can increase the speed and effectiveness of Yu Liang's body polishing by two or three times.

But correspondingly, this also has side effects, that is, the consumption in the body also increases.

This means that Yu Liang needs to take in more nutrients and energy to maintain this efficient physical condition.

Seeing that there were two unsold fish left, Yu Liang put them back into the fish cage.

Walking in the lively market.

Yu Liang came to a stall selling brown sugar.

Among all the foods that can be eaten today, sugar probably has the highest energy content.

Sugar during this period was made by boiling sugar, combining frying and steaming.

Since we didn't know how to use alkali to neutralize the acid in sucrose, most of the sugar produced was liquid and looked like black residue when cooled, so it was also called brown sugar.

"Sir, do you want to buy some candy?"

Seeing Yu Liang stop, the boss immediately greeted him with a smile.

"How much does brown sugar cost per pound?"

"Not expensive, twenty cents!" the boss replied, holding out two fingers.

"Give me a pound!"

"okay!"

Yu Liang took out 20 cents to pay the bill. The boss skillfully wrapped a candy bar weighing one pound and handed it to him.

Pick out a little bit with your fingernail and put it in your mouth to taste. How would you describe the taste?

There is a slight caramel aroma in the mouth at first, and as the sugar gradually melts on the tip of the tongue, a sweetness begins to spread.

Different from the single sweetness of the white sugar that Yu Liang ate before traveling through time, this sweetness has a slight layered feel, like juice squeezed from a mixture of multiple fruits.

However, in this sweetness, there is still a hint of sourness, which is very weak, but cannot be ignored.

After shopping, I returned to my residence.

As soon as he entered the door, Ma Wu looked at him meaningfully.

"Master, why are you looking at me like this?" Yu Liang felt a little confused and touched his face with his hand.

"Nothing, get ready to eat!"

Today's lunch was frog porridge, and most of the pot was eaten by Yu Liang.

But not long after the activity after the meal, Yu Liang felt a little hungry again, so he cooked another pot of fish soup.

While waiting for the fish soup to stew.

Yu Liang took out the brown sugar he bought and planned to process it a little.

The treatment method used is quite simple, which is a traditional earth method - yellow mud decolorization method.

First place the tile on top of the jar, then put the brown sugar into the tile, and then pour in the yellow mud water.

In this way, the pigments and impurities in the upper brown sugar will be taken away by the yellow mud water, thus making the brown sugar white.

Regarding Yu Liang's sugar-making process, Ma Wu and Xiang'er came over to watch out of curiosity.

This actually made Yu Liang feel that he had lost an opportunity to show off. Instead, he wondered why the two of them didn't come to watch his performance? Don't you have any curiosity at all?

An hour later.

When it was made, it was greatly shrunk, and there was still a bit of black and yellow white sugar.

Yu Liang suddenly didn't want to eat anymore.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, so he planned to sell the sugar to make money.

Brown sugar is rolled into white sugar, money is rolled into money!

In this way, not only can you have more sugar to eat, but you can also buy medicinal materials that can replenish qi and blood.

As the sun set, Yu Liang walked through the bustling market, thinking about how to sell the rare sugar in his hand at a good price.

Finally came to the place where I bought brown sugar.

Take a few steps and come to a place not far from it.

Yu Liang opened the paper package, revealing the crystal clear white sugar inside.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the sugar shines alluringly.

Smiling and confidently waiting for the buyer to arrive.

Not long after, a fat man in fancy clothes was attracted by the light of sugar.

He looked at the sugar in Yu Liang's hand curiously, with a surprised look on his face.

"Young man, what kind of candy is this? Why is it so white?" the fat man asked curiously.

"This is white sugar, which is purer and sweeter than brown sugar." Yu Liang explained patiently, while handing over a small sample for the other party to taste.

The fat man took the sugar suspiciously and put it in his mouth.

He had never eaten white sugar before, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented sweetness spreading on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "It's so sweet! It's so sweet!"

Seeing that the fat man was full of praise for the sugar, Yu Liang took the opportunity to say: "I worked hard to make this sugar. The quantity is limited. If you are interested, I can consider selling it to you at a low price."

Fatty's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after some haggling, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the price.

The fat man paid the money happily and left with sugar contentedly.

Looking at the money in his hand that had doubled tenfold, Yu Liang weighed it happily.

When I came to the brown sugar seller opposite, I bought another large bag of brown sugar and left.

Walking back on the forest path.

The leaves in the forest rustled, and the breeze brought a chill.

Yu Liang was holding the brown sugar in a relaxed mood, and his whistle echoed in the empty forest.

Sure enough, it came!

The corner of Yu Liang's mouth raised slightly, as if he had anticipated this sudden attack.

He didn't stop, but kept going, as if he had everything under control.

Deep in the woods, several black figures quietly appeared. They stared greedily at the brown sugar in Yu Liang's hand, with ferocious smiles on their faces.

"Boy, if you know your identity, hand over your money and candy!" The masked man in the lead threatened viciously, the bright knife in his hand shining coldly in the moonlight.

Yu Liang glanced at the other party, with a disdainful smile on his face. He didn't respond with words, but with actions.

I saw him flashing and running straight towards the depths of the woods on the side.

The masked men were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect Yu Liang to be so fast.

Cursing, he chased after him.

However, Yu Liang seemed to know this forest very well. Sometimes he shuttled between the dense trees, sometimes he jumped up to the high treetops, and his figure flickered in and out of the woods, making it impossible for the masked man to trace his traces. .

After chasing for a certain distance, the masked man was exhausted and out of breath.

Looking ahead, Yu Liang had disappeared, just when they wanted to give up.

But Yu Liang had no intention of letting them go.

secretly.

A wooden gun suddenly shot out.

The wooden gun shot out of the air like black lightning and struck a masked man in the back. The man's reaction was a little slow, and he only had time to turn sideways before the wooden gun grazed his ribs and brought up a cloud of blood.

The group of masked men panicked, and they looked around, trying to find out where the sudden attack came from. However, there was silence all around, except for the rustle of the leaves in the breeze.

"careful!"

A masked man suddenly shouted, but before he could finish his words, another wooden gun was shot out, accurately penetrating his thigh. He screamed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the remaining masked men finally realized the seriousness of the situation. They no longer chase blindly, but stand back-to-back in a circle, watching the movements around them with vigilance.

However, this defense failed to stop Yu Liang's attack. The wooden gun seemed to have eyes, always finding gaps in the masked man's defense. Every shot takes away a masked man's combat effectiveness.

Fear spreads in the hearts of the masked men, and they begin to wonder if the chase was a trap from the beginning. Yu Liang, on the other hand, was like a hunter who controlled everything, teasing them secretly.

Finally, when the last wooden gun penetrated the chest of the last masked man, the chase came to an end.

The masked men were all wiped out, but Yu Liang never even showed his face.

After staying in the market for so long, Yu Liang had already noticed this group of people.

They would secretly follow anyone who showed a little bit of wealth. Although he had never seen the person, Yu Liang could guess what they were doing with his toes.

So before coming to sell sugar, Yu Liang had already made some preparations, but he didn't expect that they would actually dare to bump into them.
