Chapter 48: Believe In Science
Lunchtime.
Chu Hao took his younger sister Chu Ling to the Chen Clan tourist reception restaurant. Inside, there were only four young tourists and another table of middle-aged men.
After he sat down with his sister, he could tell from the chatting at the two tables that the four young people were obviously local tourists.
As for that table of middle-aged men, all they talked about was business matters, not the kind of bragging of ordinary people, but real business.
On this point, he could be sure, since he had been influenced by this since childhood.
In a short while, a plate of carrots was brought over by the waitress.
Chu Ling immediately picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and said with emotion, “Carrots you dig up yourself really are more fragrant.”
Chu Hao rolled his eyes at her, and was suddenly attracted by Xiao Yu, who came in leading people. They pushed in a dining cart and a trolley.
On the dining cart was a stew pot, with wisps of steam coming from the vent hole, as if something had already been stewed.
On the trolley were bamboo boxes, which he immediately recognized as Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. It was obvious they had been bought by that table, which meant his previous guess was correct.
People who are not truly doing business and who do not have some assets would be reluctant to buy this premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
Xiao Yu led people to Zhao Kang’s table and pushed the trolley with the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea beside it. Then each person took a box and handed it over. “Gentlemen, fortunately the Chen Clan still has some inventory of this premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. You can give it a try.”
At the same time, Huang Yanfang placed a pot of hot water on the table.
The men did not hesitate. They took the cups on the table, opened the bamboo boxes, took out the bamboo tubes inside, removed the wax seal, opened the lid, and saw the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea inside. Then they all took some to brew tea and brought it together to their noses to smell.
“This tea fragrance is still so pleasant!”
“Yes, if you have not tasted it yourself, who would think that we in Linhe County have such good tea!”
“Our area is known for mao bamboo, and we actually did not know there was such a good thing before!”
“……”
Chu Hao agreed with these words.
This Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was indeed a good thing.
So one of his purposes in coming to the Chen Clan this time was also this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
But what Xiao Yu said, that this premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was already the Chen Clan’s inventory, made him frown slightly.
A while later, seeing that his six friends had all finished trying the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, Zhao Kang said, “We have tried the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. Let’s eat the medicinal cuisine!”
Hearing this, Huang Yanfang promptly placed that pot of medicinal cuisine on the table. When the lid was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, stimulating the nose.
Chu Hao and his sister both smelled it.
The siblings could naturally see that it was medicinal cuisine. They had eaten medicinal cuisine outside before, but none had such an enticing medicinal fragrance when served.
Chu Ling could not help asking, “Sister Xiao Yu, what is this they are having?”
Xiao Yu went over and explained with a bright smile, “Miss Chu, this is our Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine. It has the effect of strengthening the body, and it is very nourishing. Children or people with weak bodies are not advised to eat it, or it will be too much for their weakness to handle.”
“Bring one pot for our table as well,” Chu Hao said as soon as he heard it was another Chen Clan inheritance. He immediately wanted to try it.
Since the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea had that kind of effect, this Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine should not be inferior.
Xiao Yu explained again, “Mr. Chu, the materials needed for the Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine are expensive and very rare. The price is not low. One pot costs 20,000, and full payment is required in advance to reserve it.”
The four young people at the other table had also been attracted by the medicinal fragrance and had planned to buy a pot to try. After hearing this, they instantly lowered their heads and quietly continued eating.
Ordinary working people could not afford it, could not afford it.
Hearing this, Chu Hao became even more interested. The more restrictions there were, the more it showed that this Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine was something good.
The key point was that 20,000 a day was nothing. Since he was already here.
He immediately said, “No problem with reserving. My sister and I booked a room for three days. Can we reserve one pot a day?”
“Mr. Chu, I will help you ask,” Xiao Yu said, somewhat troubled, because she did not know whether her senior brother had enough materials. She called her senior brother.
At this time, in the kitchen, Chen Han was looking at the sect residence upgrade requirements:
400,000 money assets （ 775,200/400,000 ）.
Just now his bank card had also received 600,000, which was the money Zhao’s six friends paid, each buying 2 jin of premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
He had just been feeling that reputation was enough but money was not, and that he needed to find a method to make money. He had not expected that this condition would be fulfilled all at once.
It really was faster to earn money from the wealthy. Otherwise, relying only on tickets, accommodation fees, and meal money, it would not be possible to complete this in a short time.
In that case, as long as reputation reached the requirement, the sect residence would basically meet the upgrade conditions.
He served himself and Xiao Mi a bowl of the freshly stewed medicinal cuisine when Xiao Yu’s telephone call came in. In a very good mood, he answered, “Junior sister, the premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea payment has already arrived.”
Xiao Yu quickly said, “Senior brother, I am not calling about that. A newly arrived Mr. Chu wants to reserve medicinal cuisine for three consecutive days. I want to ask whether you have enough materials.”
Chen Han looked at the dog demon meat in the warehouse and said, “You can accept his reservation. For this period, materials are still sufficient. By the way, come eat the medicinal cuisine right after you finish your matter.”
As long as he brought the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose to battle the Dog Demon Tribe to obtain dog demon meat, there was no need to worry about materials.
As for this newly arrived Mr. Chu, he should be one of the two young people suspected of being demonic cult rogues from this morning, right?
“Mm, got it.” Xiao Yu hung up and said to Chu Hao, “Mr. Chu, our Chen Clan accepts your reservation. In the afternoon we will prepare a contract to sign with you.”
After informing him, she also hurriedly left the restaurant to go back to her uncle’s home to eat the medicinal cuisine.
She also knew the medicinal cuisine was a good thing..
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she smelled the medicinal fragrance.
Her uncle and Uncle Shuisheng and Uncle Dagou had arrived earlier and were already sitting at the table. Seeing her come in, they immediately greeted her.
…
In the afternoon, after eating the medicinal cuisine, Chen Han returned to his own courtyard, went to the water reservoir, scooped a ladle of water into the warehouse, and checked the information.
It was still Spirit Plant Dew Water.
It seemed that after the renovation, as long as nothing was diluted with added water, the attribute effect could be maintained for a long time.
He picked up his mobile phone and recorded a video of the flowers in the courtyard, then took up the sprayer again to water them.
The Spirit Plant Dew’s growth speed +2 attribute had already been tested and proven to be very unbelievable.
Comparing it with the previous orchid video he had recorded, it was already visible that the color and brightness of the orchids in the courtyard were more aesthetic and better looking than before.
This was clearly the ornamental value +2 attribute taking effect.
Entering the attic, he saw the materials his uncle had prepared for soaking wine.
Except for bones, everything else was complete. The bones naturally had to be dog demon bones.
He picked up the wine jar and processed it together with those medicinal herbs.
There were many things to pay attention to when making bone wine, such as cleanliness of the environment, dryness, ventilation, and avoiding direct sunlight.
When storing the bone wine after preparation, the temperature needed to be kept between 15°C and 25°C to prevent high temperatures from spoiling the medicinal wine or low temperatures from affecting the soaking effect.
After placing the medicinal herbs and bones, it also had to be sealed and stored in a cool, dark place, and frequent opening of the container should be avoided to prevent air from entering and causing the medicinal wine to oxidize and spoil.
Chen Han did not know whether preparing dog demon spine bone required these same precautions, but following these steps would not be wrong anyway. This piece of dog demon spine bone was clearly broken directly during fierce battle, so he did not need to spend effort smashing it.
After he finished preparing a jar of bone wine and placed it in a room in the attic hall, the sun had already set, and his weak body was covered in sweat.
【Congratulations. Through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
Seeing the prompt appear again in his mind, he checked the reputation data. Over the afternoon, his reputation had continued to increase.
2000 reputation （ 1668/2000 ）.
He opened his phone. The Douyin video had already surpassed fifty thousand likes. This counted as truly going viral, though the video’s potential was almost exhausted, and the speed of like growth was slowing.
Just as he was about to return to his room to shower, he received a Weixin message from Xiao Mi. She had edited the video of the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose marching out today and sent it to him.
He watched the video and was quite satisfied. Xiao Mi was a professional at short videos. Not only was her filming technique better than his, but her editing was also more delicate.
After watching the video, he directly opened the Chen Family Head’s Douyin account and uploaded the video.
Title: Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose marches against the Dog Demon Tribe and wins a complete victory!
When he was about to click upload, he intentionally added at the end of the title: （ believe in science, all footage in the video is the result of scientific training!）
He was obviously playing with a meme.
After all, in the previous video, Professor Wu’s scientific explanation, plus his own line about believing in science, had already sparked discussion in the video comment section. Adding these words to the title could help the new video carry on that discussion.
That Professor Wu would probably be tagged by many people, right?
As Chen Han had guessed, after a day of research, Professor Wu returned home exhausted.
Just as he was finally resting in the air conditioning, he saw his young daughter rush in from outside. “Dad, that Chen Family Head has posted videos of those lion head geese again, and this time it is even more unbelievable. A lot of people are tagging you now.”
Hearing this, Professor Wu picked up his phone to see what was going on.
The video from last night, after he did a science explanation, had actually gained just over twenty thousand likes. He really enjoyed this feeling of being recognized.
Seeing the title of the Chen family’s new video, he could not help but smile.
《Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose marches against the Dog Demon Tribe and wins a complete victory （ believe in science, all footage in the video is the result of scientific training ）!》
Clearly, this Chen Family Head was really very rational. Although he played with abstract cultivation fantasy, he did not babble obscure mystical stuff to fool people, and, just like last night, he kept telling everyone to believe in scientific principles.
He tapped the video open and saw the camera aimed at the sign that read Spirit Beast Hall, along with the Chen Family Head’s abstract lines.
