Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Feel Free to Look

"The air quality here is truly amazing!"

Wang Songhe sighed as he got out of the car. He couldn’t wait for the pill’s approval and had rushed straight over.

Along with him was Xing Yushu. Having studied traditional Chinese medicine his entire life, he simply couldn’t comprehend the principle behind the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills.

So, he had come along to get to the bottom of it.

Although he knew such behavior was improper, the unresolved mystery gnawed at him.

"The environment really is good. Even breathing feels much easier. This place is wonderful."

"Let’s go, Elder Xing. We can take a look around first."

Now that he was here, Wang Songhe was no longer in a hurry. He realized this place was perfect for recuperating.

They were both retired anyway. He figured that since the environment was so good, they might as well live here for a while, recover fully from their illnesses, and then go back.

They first went to experience the magical Arrow Tower they had heard so much about in the promotional materials. They found it was indeed magical. The feeling of enhanced vision gave them a sense of clear, open relief when looking into the distance.

Then they went to see the legendary Jade Grape Tree. They heard from the researchers there that the grapes had been growing rapidly lately.

However, they still hadn’t found a way to transplant the vine.

The two agronomists studying the Jade Grapes were starting to get gray hair over it.

They couldn’t understand why any cutting taken from the growing vine would die so quickly.

Professor Xing also chatted with the two agricultural professors for a while, mainly hoping to analyze the problem from the perspective of medicinal plant cultivation.

But in the end, he couldn’t offer any help. He discovered that this grape tree’s growth was unlike that of any medicinal herb.

The two men sat at a table at the running banquet, eating delicious vegetables and watching the tourists around them.

"I have to say, this place is really nice, especially the environment."

"Yes, I’ve noticed I’ve been coughing less since I got here."

After lunch, the two found a place to rest for a bit before heading to the small courtyard where Lin Feng lived.

Lin Feng was in the middle of receiving a grain shipment his father had purchased for him. After getting the call, he left the work to his employees and rushed back.

"Hello, gentlemen. You’re here for the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills, correct?"

"Yes. I have chronic bronchitis, and after taking those pills, my condition improved a bit. So I’ve shamelessly come to ask for more medicine."

Lin Feng already knew their identities from Zhou Jun, so of course he didn’t believe they were simply there to ask for medicine. They were definitely trying to investigate the pills.

’It’s not like anyone can figure it out anyway.’ He directly led the two toward the Medicine House.

"Gentlemen, this is where the medicine is made."

Zhao Shiyun looked at the newcomers in surprise. "Professor Xing, what are you doing here?"

She had taken an elective in traditional Chinese medicine and had a prior connection to him, stemming mainly from her desire to learn about Medicinal Cuisine.

Xing Yushu looked at the young woman who had called out to him, not recognizing her. "And you are?"

"Professor Xing, I attended your lectures on Medicinal Cuisine before."

"Oh, I see. And you make the medicine here?"

"Yes."

Xing Yushu curiously looked at the ground medicinal powder in front of her. Based on the smell, he could tell the ingredients were no different from those in the pills.

"Shiyun, get them a three-day supply of the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills."

"Okay."

Right now, the Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Pills couldn’t be sold, so most of them were sealed and stored. In any case, as long as they were sealed, they had a very long shelf life.

Seeing their curious expressions and how they seemed unsure how to ask, Lin Feng took the initiative. "Gentlemen, would you like to see the medicine production process?"

"Is that allowed?"

"There are no secrets in our pill production process. Please, feel free to look around."

Having gotten Lin Feng’s permission, the two eagerly walked further inside, wanting to inspect the medicinal ingredients themselves.

But they soon came out disappointed. They found that the medicinal ingredients here were no different from those outside.

Or rather, since the ingredients were ordered from external suppliers, it would have been strange if they were any different.

’Just why are these pills so effective?’ This only deepened their confusion.

It wasn’t something they could just ask directly. The owner had already shown them the entire production process, and they still couldn’t find the reason. It made it even more awkward to ask.

Wang Songhe wasn’t too affected. He had studied Western medicine, so he was only slightly curious about the pills.

Xing Yushu was different. After seeing the pill production process, he was even more baffled.

He even asked for a few freshly made pills, planning to take them back and see if they were any different from the previous ones.

After they left, Zhao Shiyun asked, "Boss, is it really okay to give the medicine to Professor Xing?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m not worried about them studying the medicine."

Even if Zhao Shiyun herself had no desire to investigate, she had learned a lot about the pills from Hu Xia.

Daoist Feng handled all the medicinal ingredients, and the boss wasn’t involved at all. She also didn’t understand why the pills were so effective.

Even the Medicinal Tea was personally brewed by the two of them; there was no way the boss could have tampered with it. Although she couldn’t understand it, she had no intention of prying.

Daoist Feng was even less concerned. He spent his days thinking about building the Land God Temple and the Mountain God Temple, and his work making medicine was just routine.

After finishing his tasks each day, he would go to the plaza to watch the construction of the Land God Temple.

Sometimes, he would even get into heated arguments with his master over certain issues.

Wang Songhe stayed behind. He rented one of the Houses in Lin Xian Village, planning to leave only after his illness was cured.

Xing Yushu took the medicine and left Lin Xian Village immediately to go test the pills he had just received.

Lin Feng paid the matter no mind. He was busy reviewing drone footage to select locations for food drops.

Ma Dehua came up from the base of the mountain, found Lin Feng, and started complaining, "I’m not helping you with this kind of thing next time. Those people are too annoying."

"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Ma. How are things now?"

"The selection is pretty much done. Sigh, can you believe those people? Their own projects are no good, but they insist on accusing me of taking bribes."

Some people did come looking for him, but he cussed them all out and sent them away. ’There’s a proper path to take, but they refuse to walk it. Are they dense or something?’

"Uncle Ma, that was my oversight. I’ll have someone post the reasons for the selection at the base of the mountain in a bit."

"Oh, that would be great. Otherwise, people would definitely be cursing me behind my back every day. By the way, about that livestock you mentioned before—do you still want it?"

"Yes! Uncle Ma, have you arranged it for me?"

The Livestock Shed had been built a long time ago. He had been waiting for news and had even sent people to ask around.

He found out that it wasn’t a good time to start raising them from a young age. Generally, March-April and August-September were the most suitable times for breeding.

"In that case, I’ll start making calls and have them send the livestock over. The price will be based on the local rates. Is that okay?"

"No problem. Have them deliver it, and we’ll weigh them and pay on the spot."

Right in front of Lin Feng, Ma Dehua started making calls, contacting small-scale farmers who wanted to sell their free-range animals.

The prices were lower than Lin Feng had imagined. A free-range chicken would cost at least 200 yuan in a major southern city or Shanghai, but here in his hometown, it was 15 yuan per catty.

If the tourists found out about this price, they would absolutely buy them.

And just as Lin Feng expected, when a large number of farmers drove over with their livestock, the tourists couldn’t stay in their seats once they heard the prices.

"Mister, is this big rooster 25 yuan a catty? Don’t sell it to Boss Lin! I’ll buy it for 30 yuan a catty."

A tourist was eyeing a large, seven or eight catty rooster—its vibrant feathers and bright red comb were simply irresistible.

"The hens are 15 yuan a catty? Is it really that cheap?"

"Boss Lin, you can buy another time. I’ll pay 20 yuan for this hen."

Lin Feng looked at the elderly men and women staring at him with expectant eyes. "Alright, if the tourists want to buy, you can sell to them."

What happened next almost made him lose his composure. He thought they would only want the smaller poultry, but he never expected they’d want to buy the pigs, cattle, and sheep too.
