Chapter 004: Shaoyou's Confidence
The staff expressed their speechlessness, wondering if Chu Shaoyou had misremembered the name of the medicinal herb, as he mentioned names of herbs that none of them had ever heard of
Upon arriving at the vegetable field located in the suburbs, under the puzzled gaze of Yunxi, Chu Shaoyou took a turn in the overgrown wasteland and pulled up several wild grasses
In my memory, in order to make vegetables pest-resistant and delicious, it is necessary to add a certain agent during watering
There are not many pharmacies selling traditional Chinese medicine in Deep Sea City, and an increasing number of people now consider traditional Chinese medicine to be pseudoscience. Western medicine is prevailing, while traditional Chinese medicine is nearly at a dead end
After wandering aimlessly on the street for a while, Chu Shaoyou scratched his head and pulled himself together
Misunderstood, but Chu Shaoyou did not explain. He scratched his head and smiled, letting the misunderstanding be a misunderstanding.
"In the future, I will definitely continue to grow vegetables; otherwise, how will I make a living?" Yunxi did not understand why Chu Shaoyou asked this.
What has happened? Chu Shaoyou's expression became serious; he would never allow anyone to bully his family
How did you come to think of going there
Chu Shaoyou thought to himself that he wanted to go and take a look at the house, as the home was indeed too cramped. Yunxi and Chuchu had been living together, and it must have been quite inconvenient for them.
At that moment, he saw a blade of grass in the basket filled with vegetables
At this moment, Chu Shaoyou's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly recalled that the memory in his mind belonged to a person from another world
In the pharmacy, tall wooden traditional Chinese medicine cabinets are placed against three walls, and the air is filled with the fragrance of herbs. There are not many customers, and they are mostly elderly individuals
One can capture him now, but cannot kill him
The family is not yet wealthy, but it can be considered moderately well-off
Chu Shaoyou initially intended to go alone, but Yunxi insisted on following him
Thinking of this, Chu Shaoyou excitedly looked at Yunxi and said, "Sister, do you still want to grow vegetables in the future?"
Yun Xi cast a glance at Chu Shaoyou and said, "You know very well that I cannot find a job, I am not skilled in other businesses, and I do not have that much capital. When I was in the orphanage, I was responsible for growing vegetables; growing vegetables is what I am best at..."
If there are no medicinal materials, how can one make beauty-enhancing elixirs by oneself
The wasteland is filled everywhere
Even if the two worlds are very similar, there are still certain differences
Yunxi did not pay much attention to what Chu Shaoyou was saying; she was captivated by the bright, confident gaze of Chu Shaoyou. She had never seen such a self-assured Chu Shaoyou before
If such a potion were to be created and Yunxi were to apply it to the vegetables, then her vegetables would no longer be subject to competition from others
Thinking of Chu Chu, Chu Shaoyou recalled the earlier moment when he sent her to school and realized that she did not have any new clothes
At that moment, unable to think of a solution, Chu Shaoyou let out a long sigh. He had originally thought that he would soon be able to provide a good life for Chu Chu and Yun Xi, but given the current situation, it seemed that this path was still long ahead.
Since he had money in his pocket, Chu Shaoyou decided to buy clothes for Chu Chu first
Now that the dream has shattered, it would be strange if he were not disheartened
The tricycle cannot carry passengers, Yunxi is stepping on the vehicle, and Chu Shaoyou is closely following beside her, moving swiftly without being left behind by Yunxi
After careful consideration, Chu Shaoyou felt that the money in his pocket was insufficient to rent a house, and he also did not know what size clothes Chuchu wore
Apart from pharmacological knowledge, only the cultivation techniques remain useful. Chu Shaoyou would never sell the cultivation techniques.
Chu Shaoyou never expected that the medicinal herbs he could not find in the pharmacy were everywhere in this wasteland, truly giving him a sense of having searched high and low only to find that what he sought came effortlessly
Chu Shaoyou not only wishes to provide Yunxi and Chuchu with beauty treatments, but he also intends to create some elixirs for his own cultivation, as the spiritual energy in this world is indeed too weak
"Sister Yunxi, where did you find this thing?" Chu Shaoyou exclaimed excitedly as he picked up the vine.
Chu Shaoyou chuckled as he expressed his plan, "Then let us lease a piece of vegetable land; we will grow the tastiest vegetables and create a renowned brand for our greens"
After taking two steps, Chu Shaoyou recalled Yunxi's tanned skin.
In an instant, Chu Shaoyou felt a sense of dizziness, and only then did he realize that the extensive pharmacological knowledge in his mind was not applicable to Earth
If one were to truly contract a piece of farmland, it is estimated that they would incur significant losses
After much effort, Chu Shaoyou quickly walked into a traditional Chinese medicine shop
Chu Shaoyou was just feeling extremely dejected, believing that there were no medicinal herbs from that world on Earth, but unexpectedly discovered the herbs in Yunxi's vegetable basket
Upon contemplating such matters, Chu Shaoyou nearly burst into laughter
She did not complete any formalities, and such actions are naturally illegal. However, at that time, she acted out of desperation, which led her to do so
I see, it's just market competition, Chu Shaoyou sighed in relief
Such words made Yunxi unable to help but support her forehead with her hand, leaving her somewhat speechless towards Chu Shaoyou
Chu Shaoyou felt a jolt in his heart and, in an instant, came to understand certain matters
That grass resembles a vine; Chu Shaoyou has seen it in the memories of practitioners. It is a medicinal herb
"You wouldn't be looking for a job, would you?" Yunxi became alert, "Your body has just recovered. Although the doctor said you healed very quickly, you must not overexert yourself. Hurry home and rest well!"
Seeing Yunxi looking at him with a puzzled expression, Chu Shaoyou's mind was flooded with other memories
Chu Shaoyou did not expect that after being out for a short while, he would have several thousand yuan in his pocket
"Ahem, you don't need to explain so much, just do as you wish," Chu Shaoyou interrupted Yunxi's words with a wave of his hand
Uh, I went to school, and since I had no classes in the morning, I went out for a stroll. Chu Shaoyou did not want Yunxi to know that he was just wandering around, otherwise she would worry.
After apologizing to the staff, Chu Shaoyou left in a somewhat dazed and disheartened manner
Chu Shaoyou walked to the counter and mentioned several names of medicines to the staff member who was selecting the medications
Yunxi was just about to persuade Chu Shaoyou when unexpectedly he waved the vine he had used earlier and said, "Sister Yunxi, seeing this piece of grass just now reminded me of some things"
I will tell you later
"This is wild grass, it is everywhere in the wasteland on the outskirts. I use it to tie up vegetables," Yunxi said, unable to understand what exactly Chu Shaoyou was so happy about.
In that case, he plans to go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to purchase some medicinal herbs
The fact that I could not find the medicinal materials in the pharmacy just now does not mean that the Earth lacks the medicinal materials I need; it only indicates that the people on Earth do not recognize those medicinal materials
He was preparing to go home when a voice calling him came from behind.
In the outskirts of Deep Sea City, there are several farms that supply vegetables to the city by the ton every day, while those who cultivate a small plot of land struggle to survive in the crevices
"Shaoyou, what exactly are you..."
Seeing Chu Shaoyou's vigorous strides, Yunxi was both surprised and delighted, as she could tell that Chu Shaoyou had recovered remarkably well
Although the city center of Deep Sea City is very prosperous, the suburbs of the city are extremely desolate
Once again, there are houses, clothes, and skin, with numerous matters suddenly laid before Chu Shaoyou.
When I was discharged from the hospital, the hospital refunded 50,000 yuan in medical expenses
Previously, while lying in the hospital, Chu Shaoyou was planning to create a pill with beauty and skin-enhancing effects to make money
After all, the Earth is inhabited by ordinary people; how could they possibly be familiar with the medicinal herbs used by practitioners in alchemy
"Sister Yunxi, are you delivering vegetables to the client?" Chu Shaoyou pointed to the two baskets of vegetables on the tricycle.
Due to the obstruction from that CEO's son, Yunxi was unable to find a job, and she had no capital to start a business. Fortunately, there was a period when the price of vegetables was very high, so she embarked on the path of vegetable cultivation
Taking a few deep breaths, Chu Shaoyou regained his optimism, realizing that he was already fortunate enough, so why should he desire even more things
After delivering a few punches, Chu Shaoyou could only let him go
Chu Shaoyou articulated the polished falsehood, "I once came across methods of ancient people cultivating vegetables in some very old books. In ancient times, there were no pesticides; how did they ensure the healthy growth of vegetables..."
Yunxi has cultivated a one-mu vegetable garden on a weedy wasteland
The memory in Chu Shaoyou's mind comes from a disciple of a certain sect. This disciple usually performs tasks such as chopping wood and carrying water, and cultivating vegetables is also one of his responsibilities
For example, the things from that world may not exist on Earth
Sister Yunxi, I want to visit the place where you grow vegetables
Although Zhao Si almost killed himself
That potion is not an agricultural pesticide from Earth, but rather a product made from purely natural medicinal materials
It is not a major issue; it is merely that a client, who was difficult to cultivate, has been taken away by others
The family currently has some money, and Chu Shaoyou was just about to persuade Yunxi to stop growing vegetables.
This ... ... is best left unmentioned. Yunxi's expression was somewhat displeased
Even though he did not smile, the ecstatic expression on his face frightened Yunxi quite a bit
Turning his head to take a look, Chu Shaoyou saw Yunxi riding a tricycle approaching.
Yunxi glared at him in complaint, "Shaoyou, why didn't you go to school for class?"
Having found several types of medicinal herbs from his memory, Chu Shaoyou's confidence greatly increased, and he planned to seek out herbs in other places in the future
In that memory within my mind, there exists a formula for a medicinal elixir that can enhance beauty and nourish the skin
If the path of alchemy is not viable, how should one earn a living?
