A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 109 is right!
Zhou Qing feels that his greatest strength is that he always maintains a certain level of rationality. To put it in a more literary way, he has a sense of "calmness" in his bones.

With his personality, he is not easily completely overwhelmed by any external stimulation.

But there are also disadvantages, which is that it is difficult to fully devote all your energy and emotions to certain things or certain people...

"If you're just getting by with your work, you can use AI to produce results directly. But I'm learning now, so it's not a good idea to produce results directly at the beginning... You have to keep this in mind."

Zhou Qing reminded himself in his heart, lest he use AI too much in the future and become dependent on it even for reading and learning.

"Young man, do you want some ci?"

For the time being, there was only him and a man in his forties or fifties sitting in the lower bunk opposite him in the carriage.

He might be hungry, so he took out a few bags of vegetables from his bag and put them on the small table to eat. He also enthusiastically handed Zhou Qing a bag of sliced ​​braised beef.

"My maid braised the meat herself, it's so delicious!"

The eldest brother was really enthusiastic. He stretched out his hand, pinched a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and praised: "It is indeed delicious. Brother, your daughter is a good cook."

Zhou Qing heard his plastic Mandarin and guessed that he might be from Su Gan Province. Since he had already opened the conversation, he simply started chatting and asked about the things in Lancheng.

This big brother is a bit talkative and is a daughter slave. He talks about his daughter who works in the mountain city every three sentences.

After chatting for half an hour, Zhou Qing didn't get any useful information, but he did get a general understanding of his daughter's situation.

He is in his twenties, has graduated for three years, has a good job, and is very filial. He can't bear to see his father suffer, so he insists on buying him a soft sleeper - perhaps the last sentence is what this elder brother wants to say.

In the end, Zhou Qing simply stopped asking and just listened to what the elder brother said happily.

It's also nice to go to a strange place, be on a strange train, and listen to a stranger talk about his happy little things.

Maybe there was some exaggeration in his words, maybe the daughter he was talking about actually worked very hard, but why bother about that?

After a while, the old man had eaten and drunk his fill, so he put away the remaining food and lay down on the bed. Soon, he could hear snoring.

After turning off the lights, Zhou Qing read two more chapters of the novel on his mobile phone. When he saw Sun Wukong using his "golden cudgel" to fight against Jade Rabbit's "pestle", the train slowly stopped. Zhou Qing looked and saw that it had arrived at Guangyuan Station.

After a while, the carriage door opened and two girls came in. He was sharp-eyed and, with the help of the light from the corridor outside, he could tell that they were a pair of college students.

It was already 2:30 in the morning. Thinking that he had a lot of things to do after arriving in Lancheng tomorrow, he simply put down his phone and gradually fell asleep.

I slept for four and a half hours, and when I woke up at seven o'clock, I felt particularly energetic.

"It seems that I can't practice internal energy every night in the future. I can't completely replace sleep with practice. I need to get a good night's sleep like this every once in a while."

After reading the novel for another forty minutes, Zhou Qing packed up his things and waited for the train to arrive at Lancheng Station. Then he got off the train with his backpack and followed the crowd of passengers.

He has rented a car through WeChat's travel function, and the pick-up and return locations are both set at the train station exit.

Soon, I successfully got the car keys of Haval H6 and drove to the Yantan Daily Necessities Wholesale Market four kilometers away.

Because I had made a travel plan on the way and had plenty of money, everything went very smoothly. In less than two hours, I bought everything I needed.

Zhou Qing came out of the wholesale market and saw a beef noodle shop on the roadside. Thinking of the famous "Lanzhou Ramen", he immediately walked in. After eating it, he found that the taste of the local beef noodles was indeed different from the one he had eaten in Tanzhou.

I have to say that any restaurant he randomly picked was better than all the Lanzhou ramen he had eaten in Tanzhou.

After eating and coming out of the store, Zhou Qing drove to a nearby large supermarket to buy a lot of food. Although the B&B can provide meals, after all, he will be staying there for nine to ten days. He has a big appetite when practicing, so he must stock up on extra food.

After filling the trunk and back seat of the SUV, he told the B&B landlord on WeChat and set off for Yongdeng County.

When passing by the Citizen Park and crossing the Yellow River on the Lanzhou Yellow River Bridge, Zhou Qing thought to himself that this was the first time he had seen the Yellow River at such a close distance. He wondered if he should not leave in a hurry after finishing his business and could return to the city to play for a few days.

It is only 60 kilometers from the urban area to Yongdeng County, but it took an hour and a half to drive there.

It was already noon when we arrived. Following the navigation, we turned right from the main road and drove into a mountain village. There were many newly built country villas in the village, most of which had signs saying they were homestays.

He drove straight into the village and arrived at the designated location. Because he had contacted the landlord in advance, the landlord was waiting for him at the door with the key.

The landlord's surname was Ma, a middle-aged man in his forties. He was very curious about Zhou Qing: "I've been running a B&B for many years, and this is the first time I've met someone from Nanhu Province renting a house."

Zhou Qing certainly hadn't read so many novels in vain. He smiled and "explained": "I'm a writer. I want to write a novel about Jiangsu and Gansu Province, so I came here to collect folk songs."

“So he’s also an artist.”

Upon hearing the phrase "collecting folk songs," landlord Ma smiled and asked Zhou Qing if he wanted to cook his own meals or have them delivered. "We can provide local dishes from Kushui Town, as well as roasted whole lamb, clay pot chicken, and other barbecued dishes."

Zhou Qing met the landlord's expectant gaze and said with a smile, "I guess I'll have to trouble you guys to deliver lunch and dinner, boss."

Landlord Ma quickly said, "That's fine. I'll send you the menu on WeChat later. Just tell me what you want to eat half a day in advance."

"it is good."

The two of them went into the house and took a look around. After Zhou Qing confirmed that there was no problem, landlord Ma left first.

After Zhou Qing and others left, they were not in a hurry to wander around the village. They closed the gate first, went into the house, and looked around again. There were two bedrooms and a kitchen on the first floor, and a suite and a terrace on the second floor.

There was a half-built awning on the terrace, but there was plenty of sunshine here and the awning could only play a very weak role. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the terrace was still exposed to the scorching sun.

He stood in the sun, feeling its power. After a while, he felt a slight burning pain on his skin, and immediately smiled with satisfaction.

I took out my phone to check the future weather. Counting forward, I saw that it would still be sunny in about ten days, and I immediately felt more satisfied.

"It's the right place to come here!"

The ancient method is to steam and dry it nine times. "Drying" refers to absorbing the yang energy of heaven and earth to transform the Polygonatum from the "yin of plants and trees" to the "tonifying yang", so the requirements are very high, and it is best to "exposure" under the "scorching sun".

Zhou Qing came down from the second floor and was about to go out to move things from the car into the house when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

When I took it out and looked at it, it was a message from Gu Qian.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm a little scared. (Frustrated)"
