The next day, Chiang Kaiwen went to the mountain before dawn as usual, and caught two pheasants while she was walking down the mountain, bringing them to the Lin Clan.

After breakfast, Chiang Kaiwen returned to her yard to practice martial arts and went to the Lin Clan for lunch.

This time, Chiang Kaiwen didn't go empty-handed either, so she gave Guo Caiyun 2000 yuan.

"Aunt, this is my monthly meal expenses."

Guo Caiyun was stunned for a moment before she quickly returned the money back to Chiang Kaiwen with a stern expression.

"What are you doing!?" "Hurry up and take it back, can it be that Auntie will give you less food!?"

Chiang Kaiwen turned her hand around and stuffed it into Guo Caiyun's pocket, then held her hand back to prevent her from taking it out. "Auntie, listen to me."

Seeing that she could not break free, Guo Caiyun could only say, "Tell me!"

Chiang Kaiwen said, "Aunt, of course I know that Uncle and you don't agree to have dinner at home, but I can't just eat for nothing."

"But …"

"Also, I am a martial artist, so I have to use up a lot of energy. This meat cannot be lacking. "You should know that my appetite is so great that no one can afford it."

Guo Caiyun thought about it. It was true, but it was a bit too much. Their prices could not be compared with those in the city. A catty of meat was only ten dollars. Even if it was two catties of meat a day, it would only be six hundred yuan a month for thirty days.

"Then give me six hundred, and take the fourteen hundred back."

Chiang Kaiwen was adamant, "Aunt, you can't be cooking pork every day, right? Do you want to change your taste every now and then? What do you mean beef and mutton?" If there is still money left over, let's just treat it as the living expenses of grandma and grandpa. "

Chiang Kaiwen lowered her head as she said this, her voice low and hoarse, "My mother has already left, but I have to take responsibility for her. Aunt, don't refuse it. This is my heart as a member of the younger generation. "

Seeing Chiang Kaiwen become more and more disappointed, Guo Caiyun could only pick up the money and silently decided to care more about this motherless child.

Seeing that she had taken care of Guo Caiyun, Chiang Kaiwen heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun were both farmers and lived off of these acres of land every year. Although they would never die of hunger, they did not have much money left over, not to mention a daughter from a university.

If Chiang Kaiwen always ate at the Lin Family's residence, it would be a big burden to them. It wasn't a big deal now, but there was no guarantee that his aunt and uncle would complain in the long run.

However, it only took a second for Chiang Kaiwen to deny the fact that she was allowed to use her aunt's cooking to fire alone and compare it with her results.

Chiang Kaiwen was just being cautious, and at the same time, what she had said to Guo Caiyun earlier was true. In any case, she was responsible for her grandparents.

With her amount of money, the pressure on the Lin Clan would be greatly reduced.

But why not two thousand dollars?

The next morning, Chiang Kaiwen, who rarely practiced martial arts, was on a mission today. She was going to the county to buy herbs.

When she was in the old city, she had already bought more than a dozen small and expensive medicines. They cost her over a hundred thousand yuan, and were enough for her to use only twenty times.

There were still a few large quantities of medicinal herbs that Chiang Kaiwen decided to buy from Lishan County. If she couldn't buy them, then she would go there.

There are very few places that specialize in Chinese medicine these days, but almost all of the larger pharmacies have Chinese medicine counters. Chiang Kaiwen was the first to go to the largest medicine store in Lishan County, the Tong Ren Great Pharmacy.

As he pushed the door open, a pretty girl, who was the frontline of the pharmacy's shop assistants, greeted him. "May I ask what kind of medicine you want to buy?"

Chiang Kaiwen swept her gaze around and could not find the Chinese medicine counter, "I'm sorry, I want to buy Chinese medicine. May I ask where is the Chinese medicine counter?"

The pretty girl's smile froze for a moment before she pointed her finger at him. With a straight face, she walked to the end of the line.

The shop clerk gets a commission for every pill she sells, so in order to prevent competition, she has to line up. Whichever concierge has received a customer is to be rearranged to the back of the line. Whether the guest buys it or not.

The customers they hate the most are just looking at nothing.

Chiang Kaiwen didn't care about the clerk's attitude towards her and directly asked the cashier for the location.

Compared to those good places on the Chinese medicine counter, the Chinese medicine counter was the innermost one, the most inconspicuous one.

Two large medicine cabinets were divided into squares to hold different kinds of Chinese medicine.

In front of the medicine cabinet was a long counter with a computer and an electronic scale.

A middle-aged woman was playing with her cell phone on the counter.

"Auntie, may I ask if there are any of these herbs?"

"This, this, this is fine. As for everything else, how much do you want?"

"Oh, ten catties each."

"..." How much? Ten catties? " The middle-aged woman widened her eyes as she could not believe her ears. This was Chinese medicine, who wouldn't buy Chinese medicine according to the price!

Chiang Kaiwen had to repeat herself.

The middle-aged woman looked at Chiang Kaiwen up and down before going to her computer. "We don't have much of these three medicines in our pharmacy anymore. At most, we only have five catties left," she said.

There weren't many people who used traditional Chinese medicine in the county. Even the commonly used herbs only had a few dozen jin of stock. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a shelf life.

Although what Chiang Kaiwen said wasn't rare or precious Chinese medicine, it wasn't necessarily available in this small town.

This was more or less what Chiang Kaiwen had expected. Otherwise, she wouldn't have planned to visit more people.

"It doesn't matter, just give me as little as you can." Chiang Kaiwen wore a gentle smile.

The middle-aged woman secretly praised him. This child looked really good when he was smiling, and her tone couldn't help but soften, "Alright then. Wait here for a while, auntie will go get it for you."

Watching the middle-aged woman enter the storage room at the back, Chiang Kaiwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she touched her face. She was a hussar. Great General didn't expect such a day would come.

Chiang Kaiwen received the medicine without a hitch, paid the bill with her card, and went to the next store.

She followed the address given by the map APP on her phone and went through them one by one.

She didn't take a taxi. She took the short cut through the alley faster than taking a taxi. He had walked through all the pharmacies on the map, and the backpack behind him was not full yet. There were only three or four batches of it.

Chiang Kaiwen muttered to herself as she stood on the side of a small path: "I made a mistake. If I knew earlier, I would have gone to the Ganquan City area."

Looking at the time, it was already past midnight. Chiang Kaiwen found a place to eat.

Although she was alone, Chiang Kaiwen still ordered six dishes and a soup.

A list of dishes popped up, attracting the attention of the customers sitting at the table next to her.

Even the restaurant waiter could not help but ask, "Brother, can you order so much food?"

No matter how he looked at the thin and weak youth in front of him, he didn't look like someone who could eat so much.

Chiang Kaiwen didn't expect the waiter to be so enthusiastic. She closed the menu and handed it to him, "I'll pack it up and go back."

The waiter left skeptically.

While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Chiang Kaiwen calculated that she had spent several thousand yuan today. If she could buy twenty portions of all the herbs, she would have to spend several tens of thousands of yuan.

Chiang Kaiwen sighed. If she wasn't rich, she wouldn't be able to train in martial arts.

The matter of earning money had to be hastened.

Apart from the herbs, Chiang Kaiwen walked past a seed shop and bought a pile of seeds.

The courtyard in front of her house was rather large and empty, so she might as well order some dishes.

Entering the seed shop, Chiang Kaiwen was amazed.

In her mind, cucumber seeds were one kind, tomato seeds were one kind, but she did not expect there were several kinds of cucumber seeds, such as Yuanyuanyuan 6, Zaoqing 2, Jinchun 4, Cantonese 1, Zhongnong 2.

The sales clerk explained a bunch of things. Chiang Kaiwen didn't understand what was going on, but in the end, she still didn't know how good it was to buy them.

In the end, Chiang Kaiwen bought one bag after another. When she came out of the seed shop, Chiang Kaiwen had a snakeskin bag in her hand — she bought the whole province at once.

When Chiang Kaiwen left, the sales clerk at the seed shop happily sent her away. The seeds that he thought he would not be able to sell were all sold out.

If Guo Caiyun saw this, she would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. Because many of the varieties Chiang Kaiwen buys are not usually grown in farmers' homes. There were also some varieties that were too expensive. Other than those that were specially grown, the farmers would not buy them at all.

When she went back, there were too many things. Chiang Kaiwen got a van to help her carry them back.

It was really inconvenient without a car. Chiang Kaiwen put the matter of learning to drive on the agenda.

It was past four o'clock when Chiang Kaiwen returned home. She placed a large stainless steel barrel on a brick gas stove in the backyard. She added the ingredients she remembered according to the ratio in her memory into the metal barrel, filled it with water, opened the gas valve, and began to boil.

Chiang Kaiwen nodded in satisfaction. This was much more convenient than before.

There was still some time before the dinner was ready, so Chiang Kaiwen decided to go to the Lin Family for dinner.

Chiang Kaiwen had only eaten half a pot of Red Braised Meat from a small bowl.

After eating her fill, Chiang Kaiwen returned home.

After resting for a while, the medicine was successfully made. Chiang Kaiwen moved the large metal barrel into the house and poured the medicine into the barrel.

After waiting for a while, Chiang Kaiwen clenched her teeth, took off her clothes, and jumped in.

"Hiss hiss …" It was so hot that Chiang Kaiwen almost jumped out.

But if he were to leave now, all of his previous efforts would have been for naught. It wasn't like he hadn't experienced this before.

Chiang Kaiwen tried her best to adjust herself as she cheered herself on. Gradually, Chiang Kaiwen calmed down. Unknowingly, she raised her heart to the sky, sunk her mind into her Dantian and started circulating her inner force.

When she opened her eyes, she almost fainted from the smell. It was too smelly.

Chiang Kaiwen immediately jumped out of the bucket, and before she could finish, she opened the door and splashed water outside. There weren't many people here anyways, let alone the fact that it was still night time.

After washing up the wooden bucket and putting it in clean water, Chiang Kaiwen jumped in and had a nice cold bath.

After washing off the sticky feeling from her body, she heaved a sigh of relief.

After showering and changing into clean clothes, Chiang Kaiwen was deep in thought on her bed.

She remembered the first time she bathed in the medicinal bath in her previous life. Although she expelled a lot of impurities, it wasn't stinky to this extent.

However, after careful consideration, it was not difficult to guess that this phenomenon was directly related to pollution. The air he breathed, the food he ate, and the water he drank, none of them were clean. The impurities he absorbed into his body could not be excluded, they could only accumulate within his body.

Indeed, this era was not suitable for martial arts practice.

However, there was also good news. She was able to soak in medicinal baths while cultivating, saving quite a bit of time.

In her previous life, Chiang Kai had been able to do this for more than a year.

After studying the formation for a while, Chiang Kaiwen went to bed.
