Traveling back to ancient times to get rich

That night, Gu Changfeng slept with Ye Qingchen as usual, cuddling in her arms, showing no signs of anything amiss. Ye Qingchen didn't care about any of that; she was thinking about whether she should do something to become richer and eat better. Although she had quite a bit of money these past few days.

She decided to sell the ginseng; there were plenty in her space anyway, so selling it for some money would give it some value. Her century-old ginseng was more effective than those grown outdoors, but if a natural old ginseng was grown in her space, its components would be enhanced. She didn't quite understand the specific principles, but that was the truth.

However, selling ginseng is something she can't do every day, or it would seem a bit strange. So she decided to find some other business to make a living. What should she do? There were plenty of fish in the pond, but making braised fish or something like that would be too much trouble. After thinking about it, she decided not to start with something so complicated. She thought she could sell the secret recipes for a few dishes at a fancy restaurant.

However, being unfamiliar with the area, she couldn't and didn't want to go alone, so she decided to have Gu Changfeng go with her. The next morning, Gu Changfeng went to the mountain to gather herbs as usual. Ye Qingchen fetched his bowl and chopsticks, making Gu Changfeng feel uncomfortable. He then asked Ye Qingchen, "Madam, is there something you need?" Ye Qingchen quickly replied, "I dug up a ginseng yesterday; I think it's at least a hundred years old. I'd like to sell it." Gu Changfeng was taken aback. Was his wife so lucky? Besides the herb field, were there other places with hundred-year-old ginseng? He hadn't even checked. He also had a Ganoderma lucidum; he could sell that too. Luckily, they hadn't gone out yet. He asked Ye Qingchen, "Shall we go now? How about it?" Ye Qingchen was overjoyed. Without changing her clothes, she went with Gu Changfeng. Neither of them noticed anything amiss. After soaking in the hot springs yesterday, they both looked transformed. Already a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were even more eye-catching now. Even though they were dressed casually, no one dared to look down on them.

They couldn't catch the oxcart, so the two had to walk. The journey took an hour, but neither felt particularly tired. Upon reaching town, they first went to the pharmacy, Baicaozhai. The pharmacy owner remembered Doctor Gu very well; he had sold him a century-old ginseng last time, and Doctor Gu himself was quite handsome. Seeing Gu Changfeng this time, not only was he more energetic and handsome than before, but he was also even fairer and more dashing, and accompanied by an equally beautiful young woman, the owner paid even more attention to Doctor Gu.

Legend has it that Medicine King Valley has a mysterious and unpredictable old master, whose figure is as elusive as a divine dragon. Medicine King Valley also boasts many excellent disciples, including the highly skilled physician Doctor Gu and the clever and adorable young girl. Perhaps they are members of Medicine King Valley! However, the truth is not so simple. If Doctor Gu knew his speculation, he would probably marvel at the richness of his imagination. In reality, Gu Changfeng is indeed the direct disciple of the Medicine King Valley master, but Ye Qingchen has no direct connection to Medicine King Valley. She only met and married Gu Changfeng by chance. Nevertheless, Gu Changfeng carefully investigated Ye Qingchen upon her arrival and discovered that, as she had said, her father, the prime minister, favored his concubine over his wife and even wanted his unfavored eldest daughter to marry the Seventh Prince—himself! Although he was satisfied with the girl, her attitude was appalling, so he took her and had to investigate the matter. Moreover, he had condoned his concubine's murder of his wife and daughter; it was truly fortunate that Ye Qingchen survived.

"Dr. Gu, you've arrived! What good things have you brought us today?" The pharmacy owner greeted Dr. Gu warmly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Doctor Gu smiled slightly and slowly took out some precious medicinal herbs from his basket. When he took out the fresh, large ginseng, he was stunned. This ginseng was exceptionally robust, as thick as a white radish, which was astonishing. He wondered: Is this what ginseng looks like? He remembered that the one he had picked and sold before didn't seem this robust! However, after careful observation, he confirmed that it was indeed a hundred-year-old ginseng, its quality was top-notch, even extremely rare. Its unique shape, like an adorable ginseng doll, made one feel an immediate sense of affection.

Next, Doctor Gu took out the Ganoderma lucidum he had collected. These Ganoderma lucidum were also extraordinary, but compared to the huge ginseng, they seemed somewhat inferior. Nevertheless, they were still rare treasures with extremely high medicinal value.

The pharmacy owner, gazing at the rare treasures before him, beamed with delight. He praised Doctor Gu's herb-gathering skills and offered to buy the precious herbs at a high price. He initially offered 1200 taels of silver, but seeing Doctor Gu hesitate, he quickly lowered it to 1500 taels. The contract was then signed, and the two happily left. Doctor Gu casually tossed the silver into his basket, neither of them worrying about anyone stealing it.

Immediately afterward, the two went to the best restaurant in town, Le Xiang Ju. Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, they ordered three dishes. After one bite, Ye Qingchen frowned. He was disappointed with the second dish, and the third was still unpalatable. Ye Qingchen called the waiter over, "Waiter, call your boss over! Your food isn't very good!" The waiter had overlooked their clothes because of their good looks, but now that he saw they were there to cause trouble, he quickly called the boss over.

Upon hearing that someone was trying to cause trouble, the owner rushed over: "Excuse me, gentlemen, are you two broke? Trying to dine and dash?" Believe it or not, Gu Changfeng, seeing Ye Qingchen's expression, thought the same thing, but he let her do as she pleased; after all, no one could beat him. Ye Qingchen said, "Boss, these three dishes are truly awful. I just want you to keep improving them. The first dish, braised pork, the meat wasn't rendered properly, it was too greasy, and the seasoning was wrong. The second dish, stir-fried eggplant with garlic, you naively just stir-fried eggplant with garlic? The third dish, minced meat and tofu, the meat wasn't fragrant at all. With this kind of skill, how come your restaurant is the most popular?" The owner, thinking, "So you're not here to cause trouble?" directly said, "If you two don't want to pay, we can let you eat for free. There's no need to be so disparaging of my food!"

Seeing the boss's angry expression, Ye Qingchen thought, "He's getting impatient!" So he said to the boss, "Let's move to the kitchen and you can see if what I said is right!"
