A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 70 Strengthen the spleen, moisten the lungs and... benefit the kidneys!
Zhou Qing tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.

I sat down at the desk again, opened the paper book, found the original text that flashed through my mind, and read it twice.

"Huang Jing appears twice in this passage!"

"One was 'Picking exotic fruits, digging yams and polygonatum,' which refers to the monkeys picking edible things in Flower-Fruit Mountain. The next was 'Braised yams, boiled polygonatum,' which refers to the yams and polygonatum they dug up and cooked."

He thought for a moment, then stared at the panel again, concentrating his attention and conveying the doubts in his mind one by one:
"Is the polygonatum you drew the raw one, or the cooked one? How big is it?"

"Does the Huangjing from Huaguo Mountain have any special benefits to the body, like the snake gallbladder did last time? If so, what are the effects? And how strong are the effects, based on the snake gallbladder?"

The panel instantly gives feedback:
It is raw Polygonatum, the size of a finger.

As a product of the blessed land of Huaguo Mountain, it was one of Sun Wukong's early rations, so it naturally has effects. As for its specific effects, Wu Chengen, the author of Journey to the West, was an ancient Chinese in the Ming Dynasty, the effects of Polygonatum sibiricum were based on the ancient people's understanding of its medicinal effects at that time, which is also the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine today.

The effect is strong or weak. A finger-sized piece of Polygonatum sibiricum is equivalent to 5.8 snake gallbladders.

"One finger is the size of 5.8 snake gallbladders, wow!"

Zhou Qing's breathing became heavier, and after sighing in surprise, he immediately took out his phone to search for the effects of Polygonatum in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Huangjing (Polygonatum) has been known in ancient times as "rice supplement" and "food for the immortals." The ancients believed that consuming Huangjing could strengthen the body, prevent disease, and prolong life... Its specific benefits are generally believed to be in three aspects."

"Nourishes the lungs, strengthens the spleen and replenishes Qi, and—tonifies the kidneys and replenishes essence!"

As a man, Zhou Qing instinctively stared at the third effect for five seconds, with a knowing smile on his face.

Well, it’s really good stuff.

He couldn't help but stand up from his chair and pace back and forth in the open space of the room.

Do you want to extract it and take it now?

Or should I save it for now and wait until I get the skills in the future?

After walking back and forth for more than ten times, Zhou Qing stopped.

"There's no point in dwelling on it. We still have to analyze the pros and cons!"

He sat back at the desk, took a piece of A4 paper, picked up a pen, and began to organize his thoughts.

The benefits of taking it out now are:
1. After taking it, you can further improve your physical fitness and may even have the effect of prolonging your life.

……

After writing the first point, Zhou Qing stopped writing and put a question mark at the end.

"This is the effect of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Polygonatum itself, not the benefit extracted now. No matter when it is extracted, this benefit will be obtained."

Take a pen and cross it out.

He didn't write anymore. He had already figured out the key to the problem: whether to withdraw it now depends on whether he wants to rush to further strengthen his physical fitness?
"After eating snake gall last time, I am now in good health. As for the illness, there is no need to worry. And if I really get sick, this Polygonatum might be a miracle cure for me."

"I definitely won't be going abroad right now. The safety of the country is still reliable. From a safety perspective, there's no need to rush to extract it immediately to strengthen the body."

……

"On the contrary, I'll save it for now and take it out when I win a technique in the future. On the one hand, I can maximize the medicinal effects of the Polygonatum. On the other hand, the feedback from the panel only states that if I draw a physical technique secret manual, I can practice it, but it doesn't guarantee success. When it comes to cultivation, novels always talk about aptitude, talent, and resources... What if I'm not talented enough, or my strengths don't match the technique I draw? Keeping the Polygonatum might even play a key role."

Zhou Qing made up his mind not to extract the Polygonatum from the Flower-Fruit Mountain for the time being, but to keep it on the panel for future use!

"The protagonists in novels usually have a background, or a trump card. This piece of Huang Jing is my biggest background and trump card besides my faceplate!"

He made up his mind and stopped worrying. He took a deep breath, exhaled, and once again "looked" at the "Extractable Items" panel. Then, he decided to close the panel.

"We've had such a big harvest tonight. It's a triple celebration today. We can talk about the next novel later. We have to celebrate first!"

The first people Zhou Qing thought of in his mind were Boss Ruoshui and Teacher Bai, but the person he thought of physically was Li Wanxiu.

He took out his phone and sent her a WeChat message, asking directly: "Where are you? Are you in Tanzhou?"

After sending the message, Zhou Qing condemned himself for two seconds. He admitted that he had "out-of-line" thoughts about Boss Ruoshui and Teacher Bai, and that he had lustful thoughts about Li Wanxiu.

I'm a bit of a scumbag.

Li Wanxiu replied almost immediately: "No, (crying) I was sent to Xiangxi by order, and I have to stay here for another week."

Zhou Qing replied with an emoticon: "(patting head)"

Li Wanxiu: "When I'm done with this and return to Tanzhou, I'll definitely go to your place to have a good rest."

Zhou chuckled: "Okay, welcome."

Li Wanxiu: "Brother, remember to conserve your energy during this period. My appetite has increased a lot recently. I can eat several meals a night! (wink)"

Zhou Qing was startled, and immediately understood the woman's "jargon". After a second and a half of hesitation, he replied stubbornly, "I think you're awesome if you can eat me out of money."

I deliberately used a period to express my calmness.

After chatting with the woman for a while, he looked at the time. It was just eleven o'clock.

At this moment, I was feeling hungry and thought, forget it, I'll just have a midnight snack to celebrate.

As a carnivore, since that kind of meat cannot be eaten, then this kind of meat can be eaten.

Zhou Qing decided to find a barbecue restaurant later and eat a whole roasted lamb leg.

He was not familiar with the Rongdonghai community, so he searched on the map on his phone and found that there was a community next door called Xinxing Community and there were many late-night snack shops in the Wujiang Tianjie area in front.

"A few hundred meters, ten minutes' walk."

He has always been a man of action, and he goes out with his mobile phone.

There are many "Sanmao BBQ" and "Yuecheng BBQ" restaurants in Tanzhou, as well as many "roast whole lamb restaurants".

The names are similar, but the ingredients and cooking techniques of each restaurant are very different.

Zhou Qing used to watch more than eat, so he didn't have much say in this matter. However, the "Roast Whole Lamb Restaurant" he randomly chose today was good. The lamb was fresh, and the boss's barbecue skills were also superb. The lamb skewers were roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With the addition of cumin powder, there was no smell of mutton, and it tasted very fragrant.

He sat in the shed outside the store, ate five skewers of grilled lamb to whet his appetite, drank half a glass of ice-cold beer, and was about to see how the roasted lamb leg he ordered was being prepared.

Suddenly I noticed people arguing on the side of the road.

It is a man and a woman.

The man was in his thirties, about 1.734 meters tall, less than 1.75 meters, but very strong. You could tell at first glance that he was the type who exercised regularly.

The woman was about 1.62 meters tall, with her face turned sideways and wearing a hat. Her features were not clearly visible, but her figure looked quite dignified and her body proportions were also good.

Zhou Qing's table was only four or five meters away from the roadside. He didn't pay much attention until he heard the man whispering threats to the woman:
"Don't say you don't have money. You're a flight attendant and your husband is a doctor. There's no way you can't come up with 500,000 yuan. Three days, I'll give you three days!"

　Thanks to Zuoqiu Yining and Devil Cry Buddha for their rewards who love hotpot!
