Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

While Dr. Cui was gently rubbing the hands that had become old and calloused due to the vicissitudes of life, he looked at Su Yu, who had an amiable face and a plump figure.

His eyes gleamed with earnestness and anticipation as he spoke, "Mr. Su, the miraculous healing method you just demonstrated truly opened my eyes! Could you please teach me this wonderful method? I certainly wouldn't waste your precious skills. Please name a price. As long as it's affordable, I will devote all my energy to learning it."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if worried that his request would embarrass Su Yu, Doctor Cui quickly added, "Of course, if this unique skill is a family inheritance or a personal secret, and you are not comfortable passing it on to others, I will not harbor any resentment. I can only lament that I am not destined to possess such a divine skill."

However, in response to Dr. Cui's sincere words, Su Yu behaved extremely generously.

He smiled and replied firmly, "Doctor Cui, you are too kind. Since you are so eager to learn, how could I keep it to myself? Besides, this method was not invented by me. It is my honor to have the opportunity to share it with you."

I sincerely hope that Dr. Cui can use this method to cure more patients in the future, and I also hope that more people will understand and master this method, so as to prevent innocent children from suffering misfortune like today."

Doctor Cui listened to Su Yu's words with an expression of disbelief on his face. This young man actually said that he would teach his medical skills to others for free and hoped that this method would spread widely! This was really unbelievable.

It's true that Dr. Cui couldn't be blamed for being so surprised. After all, this was ancient society! In this era, any family that possessed an excellent prescription or exquisite acupuncture technique would guard it like a treasure and never pass it on to others.

However, the young man in front of him, named Su Yu, could say such shocking words. Even someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Doctor Cui, at his age, had never heard of someone acting like this before.

At this moment, Doctor Cui's admiration for Su Yu grew even stronger. He was not only impressed by Su Yu's miraculous and immediate treatment methods, but also deeply moved by his selfless and noble character, who was dedicated to benefiting the people.

The people around who had witnessed the entire incident all burst into praise. They all exclaimed, "This Mr. Su is truly kind!"

Xie Nanxing, who was standing aside, also had an expression of reverence on his face, full of joy and pride; while Xie An stared at his master, as if in this noisy and bustling place, only the figure who was telling the story passionately could catch his eye.

Su Yu then explained the Heimlich maneuver process and key points one by one, and emphasized that the method used for children under three years old is different from that for children over three years old, without holding back.

Doctor Cui's gaze towards Su Yu was as intense as a blazing flame. Suddenly, without hesitation, he bowed deeply to Su Yu and respectfully addressed him, "Master!" This action startled and terrified Su Yu.

Su Yu felt that he was a little scared. Such an old man was so embarrassed to call him master. He was still very young, just a thirteen-year-old baby!

But he couldn't resist the other party's stubbornness and insisted on shouting, so he could only bite the bullet and say a few perfunctory words, then took Xie An and Xie Nanxing and hurriedly fled the scene as if there were vicious dogs chasing them.

The moment he boarded the carriage, the puppet's voice began to chirp. Su Yu, however, was receptive to the sudden arrival of the puppet's voice. After all, that voice was truly melodious and pleasant to the ears. Who wouldn't love to hear a melodious little puppy? Hehehe!!!

To outsiders, he only paused for a moment before nimbly climbing onto the carriage. Su Yu instructed Xie An, "Go to the grocery store."

"Yes," Xie An sat on the horse sideways, flicked the whip lightly with his wrist, and the horse followed the command and began to move forward slowly.

"Ding Dong, saving a life adds one merit point, being respected by the people adds one merit point, totaling two merit points, totaling fifty-five intelligence points."

"Ah, why is there only two merit points this time? He still remembers that he saved Xie An's brother and sister, and Wang San under his horse had 20 merit points. Why is there only one merit point for saving a life this time?" Su Yu asked in confusion.

The puppet explained sweetly: "Host, because the people you saved before were important people, people who had a significant impact on this world, and the child this time is just an ordinary person in this world."

"So, if I save people who have a significant impact on the world, I will get more points, but if I save ordinary people, I will get fewer points?" Su Yu continued to ask.

The system said sweetly: "Yes, that's it."

After Su Yu expressed her understanding, she didn't ask any more questions.

He has other things to buy.

The grocery store was soon arrived. After the carriage was parked, Xie An said into the carriage, "Master, we are here at the grocery store."

"Yes," Su Yu replied as he opened the carriage curtain. He jumped off the carriage briskly. Since his martial arts skills improved, he felt lighter and more agile.

Entering the grocery store, there were all sorts of wooden boxes, each filled with the same item: rice, flour, salt, sugar, oil, sauce, vinegar, tea, as well as various baskets, common farm tools, couplets, lanterns, basins, buckets—it seemed like they sold a little bit of everything.

The shopkeeper, catching a glimpse of three distinguished guests in gorgeous satin gowns entering, was overjoyed. He hurried forward with a smile on his face, asking cordially, "Gentlemen, what could you have bought? We have a complete selection of rice, flour, grain, and oil!"

Su Yu glanced around but didn't see any baking soda. He frowned and turned to the enthusiastic shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any baking soda for sale?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately looked puzzled and asked blankly, "Baking soda? Forgive my ignorance, but may I ask, sir, what is baking soda?"

Looking at the boss's bewildered look, Su Yu muttered to himself: It seems that in this era, no one has discovered and produced something like baking soda.

But the problem is, baking soda is one of the most important ingredients in making toothpaste! What should we do now?

Just as Su Yu was thinking hard, suddenly, like a flash of lightning, a brilliant idea came to his mind - since he couldn't find ready-made baking soda, why not try to make it himself?

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked again with expectation: "Then, boss, do you have limestone here?"

At this moment, if the shopkeeper had not seen the young man in front of him dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and accompanied by two handsome servants, he would have mistaken him for a dandy young man from a wealthy family who had come to tease him.

However, seeing the young man's sincere attitude, the shopkeeper could only patiently answer: "Uh... there is no limestone either."

This sincere evaluation was mostly due to the fact that Su Yu's round face was too non-aggressive. When he looked at others and spoke, they felt that he was sincere. If Su Yu knew, he would not be able to laugh.

Su Yu had lost all hope. He asked with a look of despair: "Is there any alkali?"

The shopkeeper finally regained his enthusiasm when he first saw Su Yu, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, here, how much do you want, sir?"

"How much do you have? How much is one pound?" Su Yu asked.

"I only have fifty jin (approximately 50 kg) at fifteen cents per jin," the shopkeeper replied.

Su Yu asked again, "How much is a pound of coarse salt here? Seventy wen a pound?"

After Su Yu heard this, he had a rough idea in his mind.

"Then pack up these 50 kilograms of alkali for me, and two kilograms of coarse salt."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed. He clattered the beads on his abacus and said aloud, "Fifty catties of alkali is seven hundred and fifty wen, and two catties of salt is one hundred and forty wen, so together we have eight hundred and ninety wen."

Su Yu thought it was very cheap, perhaps because he had some knowledge about silver in ancient times, but not much.

In this dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to two thousand copper coins, or two thousand wen. A county magistrate's salary was only six taels, and an ordinary family was considered lucky if they could save one tael a year.

He said, "Then weigh me some more brown sugar to make up the one or two taels of silver."

The shopkeeper became more attentive and hurriedly found a sack to fill with brown sugar for Su Yu. Xie An paid the bill again, and Su Yu only had to do the shopping.
