The villagers are very strong. They dug up half of the wild vegetables on the hill in just one day. Today they purchased more than 800 kilograms of wild vegetables. Old man Shen looked at the pile of wild vegetables as if he saw a pile of silver.

He has been teaching for so many years and only earns a dozen taels of silver every year. The third brother's family earns 12 taels of silver in one day. How can he not be surprised?

Seeing this, Shen Lao San said:

"Today the buyer said that as long as we have wild vegetables here, he will buy them all. In addition to wild vegetables, he also buys medicinal herbs."

Old Third Shen once again dropped a surprise bomb for everyone, and everyone in the Shen family was looking at him.

Shen Lao San looked at Mr. Shen and said seriously: "Dad, this fall into the water made me think about a lot of things. I want to continue to participate in the scientific expedition."

The old man was stunned and stared at Shen Lao San in a daze.

Shen Lao San ignored the old man's surprise and continued to talk about his plan:

"Dad, you know Shu'er is very talented in studying. I want to send Shu'er to the college in the county for further studies."

The family hadn't digested what Shen Lao San had just said, Shen Lao San continued:

"Dad, you should continue to take the imperial examinations! It's better to rely on yourself than on your children and grandchildren."

Now not only Mr. Shen, but also Mr. Shen and Mrs. Zhong were shocked.

They suspected that the third brother had taken the wrong medicine today.

Shen Mingzhu looked at everyone's reactions and felt amused. Her father's bombshell news were like a bomb that exploded in the Shen family.

She looked at Mr. Shen, whose eyes were slightly red with excitement, and thought, the old man also wants to find his dream when he was young and continue to take the imperial examination, right?

Maybe the old man drank the memory-enhancing liquid she gave him and found that his memory had returned to his youth, so he started to have new ideas?

Mr. Shen was silent for a long time before he calmed down.

"Dad, Su made some money from selling embroidery today and bought me three books about imperial examinations. Also, when I was at the bookstore, I met the headmaster of the White Deer Academy..."

Another shocking piece of news made Old Man Shen dizzy. When did his third son become so capable that he could be valued by the headmaster of Bailu Academy?

He was also a scholar and had heard some things about the president of Bailu Academy. He heard that Yu Shiguang, the president of Bailu Academy, had a very powerful background. The fact that he was valued by President Yu showed that the third son was very capable.

Old man Shen was a little suspicious. Did he look down on his third son too much in the past? Well, don't suppress the third son anymore in the future.

Finally, Old Man Shen decided that if the third child wanted to study, he could continue to study. As for the money for studying, which was a headache for him, he would deal with it later.

"Only if you study hard can you have a future. Mingbao and Mingyu, you should study hard in the future."

Old man Shen made the final decision, and everyone finished their dinner happily. Shen Mingzhu returned to her room and began to read the travel diary she had just bought.

I have a photographic memory and can remember all books after just reading them once.

Shen Mingzhu closed the book and began to organize her thoughts.

The stories, characters and geographical locations written in the book quickly formed a logical thinking map in her mind.

Whenever Shen Mingzhu thought of the contents of the book, a map from the travel notes instantly appeared in her mind, which surprised her.

She no longer has to rack her brains to memorize books. God knows the benefits of having a good memory! It's so cool!

Early the next morning, Shen Mingzhu and Shen Laosan borrowed the ox cart from the village chief again, and exchanged the wild vegetables they bought from the villagers for more than ten taels of silver through the system.

The two of them entered Phoenix Mountain from a deserted place. Shen Mingzhu exchanged a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica" from the system and handed it to Shen Laosan, and then exchanged three bottles of memory-enhancing medicine and gave them to Shen Laosan.

"Dad, these three bottles are memory-enhancing liquid medicine. Although the effect is not as good as the photographic memory liquid, it can enhance memory. After you finish drinking, read the Compendium of Materia Medica first, and then we will go into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs together."

Looking at the things that suddenly appeared, Shen Laosan was no longer as shocked as he was at first.

Now, anything Zhuzhu takes out would not be excessive. Even if he suddenly exchanged it for an airplane or a cannon, he would not be that shocked.

"Well, I'll drink it now. But, Zhuzhu, this medicine is very expensive, right? Have you drunk it?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled mysteriously, "I have drunk the Photographic Memory Liquid. The system has not been upgraded yet, so I can't buy the Photographic Memory Liquid. When the system is upgraded in the future, I will buy the Photographic Memory Liquid for you."

Shen Lao San was stunned: "Is there really such a thing as a photographic memory potion?"

Shen Mingzhu blinked and smiled:

"Yes! The effect is really good. I can remember everything after reading the books once. It is more useful than copying on a computer. Dad, drink it now!"

"Okay, Zhuzhu, Dad has ten taels of silver here, you can take it first. It costs money to buy the medicine, and I can't use my daughter's money for nothing."

"No need, Dad, just study hard and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that I can become a daughter of an official family."

"It's not that easy to pass the exam to become the top scholar. It's great that your father can pass the exam to become a juren."

After drinking three bottles of memory-enhancing medicine, Shen Laosan picked up the "Compendium of Materia Medica" without delay and started reading.

After a while, he closed the book and said to Shen Mingzhu:

"Zhuzhu, I have finished reading this book and have memorized the names and appearances of the herbs. Now let's go up the mountain to look for herbs."

Shen Mingzhu received a system prompt and quickly found a medicinal herb.

"Ding, wild Schisandra chinensis, 50 cents per pound."

Shen Mingzhu smiled widely, ran to the front of the vine, pointed at the bunches of red fruits and said to Shen Lao San:

"Dad, come pick some Schisandra chinensis. One pound of Schisandra chinensis can be exchanged for 50 coins."

Shen Mingzhu didn't know why, but after traveling here, she particularly liked making money.

Maybe it was because the family was too poor that she understood the importance of money.

In her previous life, money was just a number to her, but here, the feeling of earning money through her own efforts made her unable to stop.

Shen Laosan walked forward and looked at the vines wrapped around the big trees in front of him. The green vines were hung with bunches of red, transparent fruits that looked like wild grapes. They were extremely beautiful.

He asked in surprise: "Is this Schisandra chinensis?"

"Yes, does it look the same as in the Compendium of Materia Medica?"

Shen Mingzhu picked a bunch of Schisandra chinensis, put one in her mouth, savored its sweet taste, and said, "It's delicious."

Shen Lao San put two bunches of Schisandra chinensis in the basket and said with a smile:

"Schisandra chinensis has high medicinal value. It has the effects of astringing the sword, replenishing qi and promoting body fluid, and nourishing the kidney and calming the mind. It can be used to treat symptoms such as chronic cough, thirst caused by loss of body fluid, and calming the mind. Schisandra chinensis can be used to make wine or tea, which is very good for the human body."

"Yes! Dad, Schisandra is heavier than honeysuckle, and the selling price is higher, which is more cost-effective than picking honeysuckle. What do you think, if we have money, we can buy these two mountains and plant Schisandra and other medicinal herbs?"

Shen Laosan's eyes lit up. It's a good idea to buy medicinal herbs from the mountains!

Chinese medicinal materials are very valuable in any world. The fact that this mountain can produce Polygonatum sibiricum and grow so many Schisandra chinensis and Honeysuckle shows that it is very suitable for the growth of medicinal materials.

"This is a good idea. When I make money in the future, I will buy these two mountains for Zhuzhu."
