Uncle Liu went on to say, "I don't know if there is baking soda. You can go and look for it yourself. People save their coarse salt if they have it. I guess there aren't that many precious things." As he said that, he lifted the curtain and went back into his "house".
Su Qingluan stared at the tattered straw curtain, sighed, and secretly made up her mind that when she got her jam business off the ground...
Collecting her thoughts, she walked towards the platform and searched around.
Although it is a "collective kitchen", it is still short of things - everyone is very short of money, so "luxury goods" such as spices are basically impossible to find here.
Su Qingluan searched left and right, and finally got some rice vinegar and some baking soda, put them in two bowls respectively, added clean water to each, and then returned to the small compartment where the water tank was placed in the Liu family.
She carefully tore one of the two "talismans" she had just picked up into several strips, and dipped it in the bowl of rice vinegar first. The paper talisman did not change at all; she then placed another small piece of torn talisman paper in the alkaline water. In an instant, the part stained with the alkaline water turned from bright yellow to a glaring deep red like blood!
Su Qingluan narrowed her eyes slightly: It was exactly as she imagined. In modern times, this was just a color reaction of acid-base indicators that could be learned in elementary school. But in this distant ancient time, it was actually used by "immortals" to cheat people.
The skills that were originally mastered as scientific knowledge are actually used to trick people. It has to be said that this is a kind of irony of magical realism.
To confirm again, Su Qingluan dipped the "blood-stained" talisman paper with white vinegar water. The moment it came into contact with the white vinegar water, the originally "bloodstained" talisman paper began to be "purified". After a while, as the alkaline water was gradually neutralized by the white vinegar water, the paper talisman turned bright yellow again.
Su Qingluan sneered, packed up the small notes, and walked towards the cabin where the Liu family was living with the two bowls of water.
When Su Qingluan walked over, the "great immortal" had already finished "casting the spell" and was collecting the "ritual fee".
Of course, he was very assertive, saying "voluntary" on the left and "not forced" on the right.
The Liu family was obviously fooled by the full set of "blood talisman paper" before. In order to make the head of the family's leg disease recover faster, they happily took out their remaining silver and money.
Su Qingluan took a quick look and knew that there must be at least ten or twenty taels of silver!
Sure enough, when the "master" saw that the Liu family had such a "huge sum of money", his eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed his excitement.
Under normal circumstances, Xi Niangzi and Liu Sheng, a couple accustomed to traveling the world, might not have been able to detect the deception. However, as the saying goes, "concern leads to confusion." One of them was too eager to quickly escape being a burden to the family, and the other was too eager for her family to recover, so they more or less lost their composure.
In addition, the previous scammer was really deceptive, so it was inevitable that he fell into the trap.
Seeing Su Qingluan holding two bowls, Liu Yunniang asked curiously, "Qingluan, what's going on with these two bowls?"
Su Qingluan said with a half-smile, "The contents of these two bowls are extraordinary." But then, as if to avoid the question, she asked, "Has that talisman paper covered in blood been disposed of?"
Liu Yunniang nodded: "Of course, when a master takes action, nothing is wrong."
"Oh?" Su Qingluan turned to the man dressed as a Taoist priest.
He twirled his beard, smiled, and nodded, "Don't worry, my friend. I have already used the Three Flavors True Fire to refine the evil spirit. You can rest assured here."
Su Qingluan understood the implication of these words: perhaps those problematic talisman papers had been burned.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan sneered: Want to destroy the body? How can it be so easy?!
"Peace of mind? I don't think so." Putting the two bowls aside, Su Qingluan took out a very familiar talisman paper from her arms - it was all thanks to this Taoist priest, because in order to show that his talisman paper was unique, the cinnabar pattern on it was completely different from that of other people. It was simply a ready-made "anti-counterfeiting mark"!
The "master" realized something and quickly stepped forward to grab the talisman paper: "My friend, please don't make a fuss. This thing is very dangerous..."
"Dangerous? Is it really like this?" Su Qingluan dipped the talisman paper in baking soda water while saying this.
In an instant, the bright red "blood" dyed the entire talisman paper red!
