Chapter 40: Will Junior Sister Really Train True Kung Fu?
Chen Lin stared blankly at the little sprout poking out of the soil.
He even wondered if he had seen a ghost today.
He had just broken out in a cold sweat from being stared at in unison by one hundred geese, and now he was seeing the cauliflower seeds he planted in the morning sprouting by afternoon.
Something was off.
Definitely off.
He hurriedly squatted down and began checking them one by one.
……
Time passed.
As night fell, Chen Han finished preparing the medicinal cuisine, and the congee his uncle had put on the stove was also cooked.
Seeing that his uncle still had not come back, he made three simple home-style dishes, then called his junior sister, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, and the others to come eat the medicinal cuisine.
Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng arrived quickly, sweat-stained, clearly busy with stir-frying Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. In the past two days, the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea production department had also made over one hundred jin of ordinary Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and more than ten jin of Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
Now they had to find a method to sell this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
A moment later, the junior sister arrived with Xiao Mi.
As soon as she entered, the junior sister hurriedly said, “Senior brother, I have good news for you. Mr. Zhao just sent a message saying his six friends want to order one bowl of medicinal cuisine each day for the next six days. I have not replied yet. I wanted to ask if you have enough materials here.”
Chen Han’s eyes lit up at this news.
Wasn’t this a rich client delivered right to their door?
Besides, the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose army had arrived right on time, and it was time to launch a campaign against the Dog Demon Tribe. After that, they would definitely not be short of Dog Demon Meat.
He immediately said, “Tell Mr. Zhao we can help prepare the medicinal cuisine, but the materials are hard to obtain. Have them sign a contract first and pay the full amount.”
“Mm!” Xiao Yu nodded and sent a message to Mr. Zhao. She did not expect him to reply right away.
Seeing the reply, she immediately said, “Senior brother, Mr. Zhao says there is no problem.”
Seeing how decisive the other side was, Chen Han did not forget to instruct her, “Remember to promote the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea to them. They are all wealthy. We cannot let this kind of high-quality customer slip away.”
“Got it.” Xiao Yu nodded.
Their conversation also made Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng look expectant.
Among the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea they had stir-fried so far, in these two days only one tourist had bought one jin of the ordinary kind.
Although they knew the tea was good, with no buyers they were uneasy.
At this moment, Chen Han saw his uncle come back and asked with a smile, “Uncle, come eat some medicinal cuisine. Why are you back so late today?”
Chen Lin blurted out, “I feel like I saw a ghost today. The cauliflower seeds I just planted this morning actually sprouted in the afternoon. It makes no sense at all. I have been watching those tiny cauliflower shoots the whole time.”
Hearing this, Chen Han was obviously stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that this was caused by the Spirit Plant Dew Water.
This worked too?
Was cauliflower also counted as a flower?
From his uncle’s words, it was not hard to hear how shocked he was.
Well, cauliflower seeds normally need at least three days from sowing to sprouting. Now it had been under ten hours. It was indeed astonishing.
Fortunately, the entire vegetable garden needed watering, and the water reservoir would be emptied after irrigating it twice.
After two irrigations, there should not be any major problems.
Chen Dagou instead asked, “Chen Lin, could you have accidentally used hormone? I heard people from the neighboring village once sprayed hormone on their vegetables to make them grow fast, and in the end the police took them all down.”
“Definitely not, okay?” Chen Lin said with absolute certainty. “We have never bought anything like hormone.”
Xiao Mi instead explained, “Could it be that they were stored too long? Along with factors like temperature and humidity, that can cause seeds to lose their dormancy. Also, if different seeds are mixed together and you keep some fertilizer next to them, that can cause an ethylene effect, which can make the seeds germinate quickly.”
“???” Chen Lin did not understand a word of what Xiao Mi was saying and looked totally confused.
Xiao Yu could not help saying, “Sister Xiao Mi, you really know a lot. Uncle, you should believe in science.”
Xiao Mi explained, “This is high school biology knowledge. The teacher made us memorize it, and it was tested on the biology college entrance exam.”
“……” Xiao Yu was also dumbfounded.
She did not remember any of that at all.
She had gotten into plenty of fights in high school, leaving many boys howling after being beaten up by her, but her grades were… difficult to talk about.
At this moment, Uncle Dagou chimed in, “Chen Lin, that must be the reason. You have that bad habit of piling everything you buy together. Some seeds get pressed at the bottom and sit there for a long time unused. That explains it. Don’t be so paranoid.”
“Um, that must be the reason then!” Chen Lin was talked around, one sentence at a time.
The key was that he really did not understand what Xiao Mi meant by loss of dormancy and ethylene effect, so that had to be it, right?
Chen Han truly had not expected his uncle to be convinced so easily. He could not help asking, “Then could it be that there really is a formation beneath the family land, and it is that formation causing this?”
He was continuing to lay the groundwork.
After all, the pace of self-studying the Daoist Scripture Notation was such that he would soon have it down, and then he could recite the scripture notation from the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》.
“What formation?” Xiao Mi was instantly intrigued.
An underground formation sounded mysterious as soon as you heard it.
Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng were also immediately intrigued, since they still did not know about the matter of the Family Elder’s records, the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》, and the underground formation.
“Senior brother, there you go again with such baseless things.” Xiao Yu first shot her senior brother a glare, then explained to Xiao Mi, “My senior brother found an ancient book in the Chen Clan books, which says there is a formation under the Chen Clan land that can be connected to by reciting an 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》.”
“Senior brother actually believed something that ridiculous and really went to recite that 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》. Nothing happened at all, but he still would not give up and is now studying the scripture notation of that 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》.”
“Junior sister, just wait until I figure out the Quiet Heart Art and activate the formation beneath the family land.” Chen Han did not want to keep arguing. She would be the one surprised then.
After that, he called everyone to start eating the medicinal cuisine.
Once the Dog Demon Meat medicinal cuisine went down, that cozy warmth all through the body felt really good.
After one bowl, Uncle Dagou praised, “Xiao Han, this medicinal cuisine really is miraculous. After eating it these last few days, I can clearly feel my stamina is better than before.”
Uncle Shuisheng agreed. “Indeed, I feel it too.”
Xiao Yu also said, “Senior brother, me too. My martial arts training has been smoother lately. I used to never get the last few moves of the Seven Star Sword right because my strength could not keep up, but now I can easily execute those final moves.”
“Then take another championship at the next sword forms competition,” Chen Han said to his junior sister with a smile.
The Seven Star Sword was one of the most difficult swordplay routines of the Zhengyi sect. The difficulty lay in truly mastering it, executing it properly. Xiao Yu had competed in national sword forms competitions and even been champion, yet she still struggled with the last few moves, which showed how hard it was.
The main issue was physique.
Even as a set of moves, performing this sword routine properly consumed a lot.
Even in the Qingcheng sect, which was best at this sword art, there were few who could perform the Seven Star Sword completely and accurately.
Now that Xiao Yu drank the medicinal cuisine once a day and could easily perform it, that showed just how great the strengthen body +2 effect of the Dog Demon Meat medicinal cuisine was.
He suddenly thought of something: if she drank it every day, would Xiao Yu’s physique just keep getting stronger?
For any technique, as long as your physical condition is strong enough, even simple chopping moves can be terrifyingly powerful.
Would his junior sister eventually develop true kung fu at this rate?
