The next day, Jiang Kevin went to the mountain before daybreak as usual. On his way down the mountain, he caught two pheasants and delivered them to the Lin Clan.

After breakfast, Jiang Chen returned to his yard to practice martial arts and went to the Lin Family for lunch.

This time, Jiang Chen did not go empty-handed either, she gave Guo Caiyun the two thousand yuan.

"Aunt, this is my monthly meal expenses."

Guo Caiyun was dumbfounded for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses. With a straight face, she stuffed the money back into Jiang Chen's hands.

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

Jiang Chen took her hand and stuffed it into Guo Caiyun's pocket, then he held her hand back, "Auntie, listen to me."

Seeing that she couldn't break free, Guo Caiyun could only say, "Speak!"

Jiang Chen said, "Aunt, of course I know that you and Uncle don't agree to have dinner at home, but I can't just eat for free."

"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 for a moment and it was true, but this was a little 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."

Jiang Chen was adamant on not wanting it, "Aunt, you can't be making pork every day right? From time to time, you can also change the taste of the pork as well. What kind of beef and mutton are you trading it for?" If there is still money left over, let's just treat it as the living expenses of grandma and grandpa. "

Saying that, Jiang Chen lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice, "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. "

Guo Caiyun saw that Jiang Kevin was becoming more and more dejected, so she could only take the money. She silently decided to be more concerned about this motherless child.

Seeing that he had taken care of Guo Caiyun, Jiang Kevin heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun were both farmers, living off of the few acres of land they cleaned up every year. Even though they were starving, they did not have much money left over, not to mention a daughter who attended university.

If Jiang Kevin always ate at the Lin Clan, it would be a 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.

But to let her split up and open fire on her own while comparing the dishes cooked by her aunt with her own results, Jiang Kevin only took a second to deny it.

Jiang Chen was just being cautious. At the same time, what she said to Guo Caiyun just now 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, Jiang Kevin did not practice martial arts as they were rarely seen. She had a mission today to buy herbs in the county.

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 a few large quantities of medicinal herbs left. Jiang Kevin decided to buy them in Forest Mountain County. If they could not be bought, then he would go to Ganquan City.

There are very few places that specialize in Chinese medicine these days, but almost all of the larger pharmacies have Chinese medicine counters. The first stop for Jiang Kevin was the largest pharmacy in Linshan County, Tongren University's 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?"

Jiang Chen scanned through and could not find a Chinese medicine counter. "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.

With regards to the clerk's attitude, Jiang Kevin did not care and directly went to the cashier to ask 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!

Jiang Chen could only repeat himself.

The middle-aged woman looked at him seriously before going to the computer to operate it. After that, she said, "We don't have much of these three medicines in the pharmacy anymore. At most, we only have five catties left."

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 Jiang Chen said was not rare or precious Chinese medicine, it was not necessarily available in this small county.

This was more or less what Jiang Chen had expected. Otherwise, she would not have planned to run a few more places.

"It doesn't matter, just give me as little as you can." A warm smile hung on Jiang Chen's face.

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, Jiang Kevin did not know whether to laugh or cry as he touched his face. She, a great general of hussars, had not expected such a day to come.

Jiang Kevin smoothly received the medicine, swiped his card to settle the bill, and then 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.

Jiang Kevin stood by the side of a small path and muttered to himself, "I made a mistake. If I knew, I would have gone straight to Ganquan City."

Looking at the time, it was already past midnight. Jiang Chen randomly picked a place to eat.

Although she was alone, Jiang Chen 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.

Jiang Kevin never expected the waiter to be so enthusiastic. He 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 be served, Jiang Chen carefully calculated that he had spent a total of several thousand yuan today. If he could buy twenty portions of all the medicinal herbs, he would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars.

Jiang Kevin sighed. If not, he would have to be rich in literature and martial arts. Without any economic strength, he would not even be able to practice martial arts.

The matter of earning money had to be hastened.

Other than medicinal herbs, Jiang Chen bought a bunch of seeds when he passed by a seed store.

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

Upon entering the seed store, Jiang Chen's horizons were broadened.

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 salesperson who sold the seed explained a bunch of things. Jiang Kevin found it hard to understand, but in the end, he did not know how good it was to buy it.

In the end, Jiang Kevin simply bought a bag. When he walked out of the seed store, he had a snakeskin bag in his hand — he wanted to buy the whole province in one go.

When Jiang Kevin left, the salesperson at the seed store happily sent him off. The seeds that he thought he could not sell were all sold out.

If Guo Caiyun saw this, she would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. This was because many of the varieties that Jiang had bought were not usually cultivated by farmers. 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, so he got into a van to help her carry them back.

It was really inconvenient for him to not have a car. Jiang Chen put the matter of learning to drive on the agenda.

By the time he got home, it was already after four o'clock. Jiang 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.

Jiang Kevin nodded his head in satisfaction. This was much more convenient than before.

There was still some time before the dinner, so Jiang Chen decided to go to the Lin Family for dinner.

With a small bowl of Red Braised Meat, Jiang Kevin had only eaten half a pot.

After having his fill, Jiang Kevin returned home.

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

After a moment of waiting, Jiang Chen clenched his teeth and took off all his clothes before jumping in.

"Hiss hiss …" Jiang Kevin nearly jumped out from the heat. It was too hot.

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.

Jiang Kevin tried his best to adjust himself as he encouraged himself. Gradually, Jiang Kevin calmed down. Unknowingly, his mind was up to the sky. His mind sank into his dantian as his inner force began circulating.

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

Jiang Chen immediately jumped out of the barrel and, without caring about whether it was empty or not, opened the door and splashed the water outside. There weren't many people here anyways, let alone the fact that it was still night time.

After washing the barrels of water, he placed them in clean water and jumped into the tub to have 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, Jiang Kevin was deep in thought as he lay on his 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 his previous life, Jiang Kai had been able to do this for over a year now.

After studying the array formation for a while, Jiang Kevin went to bed.
