Hu Changlin hurriedly waved his hand: “That can’t be done. I heard some people who ate it before died from poisoning. Nowadays, most people don’t want to eat it. How are you going to sell them?”
Bai Zhi replied: “They died from poisoning because they’ve eaten a green sprouted melon. If you will eat the freshly picked up one, it will be very impossible to be poison.”
Zhao Lan also opened her mouth and said: “No matter what, there were still people who died because of melon. So now, people are not willing to eat melon anymore. And this is true, in these past 2 years, villagers who planted melon can’t sell them at all. Their melons only rot in the ground. No one plant melon anymore.”
Bai Zhi said: “That is good, I can sell my melon at a bit higher price. You can all rest assured, I have a plan in mind. When the time comes, you will see that I will be short in supplies of melon, so no need to worry about failing to sell them, okay?”
“But now, the season is not right to grow melons. It will take you 2 months to grow them. Melon doesn’t grow fruits during winter. You have to think about it again.”
Bai Zhi replied: “Niang, I have already thought about it. After two days, I will go up the mountain again to get some herbs that will make the soil more fertile. It will help me grow the melon before winter comes.”
Hu Changlin looked very surprised: “Is there really such a herb?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said proudly: “Of course, as long as you use this herb, the 60 days grow period will only become 30 days. It is a non-toxic herb, so it has no side effects, which is very good.” When she was in the 23rd century, she made a research about this plant called purple vine leaves. The vine leaves contain a lot of long-acting agents that stimulate growth hormones. It’s very different from the synthetic agent that can cause a problem to the human body.
When they entered the mountain that day, she saw these purple vine leaves in the woods. She didn’t look at it carefully, but her intuition was telling her that it is purple vine leaves, that climbing the surrounding the trees. The purple vine leaves grow fast, have strong vitality, and active fertility, so it can climb up the trees in a short time.
Therefore, as long as she finds that place, she could get some.
Seeing her daughter confident face, Zhao Lan no longer objected. She just smiled and said: “Well, if you really want to do it, then do it. Niang will support you.”
Hu Changlin also smiled and said: “Zhi’er is so smart, if she had thought it through, then it will certainly be a success, so rest assured.”
Hu Feng put down the chopsticks in his hand and turned his head, then said: “No matter what you do, no matter how busy you are, don’t forget what you promised me.” Then he got up and went back to the room.
Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin looked at each other: “Zhi’er, what does Hu Feng mean? What did you promise him?”
Seeing that things could no longer be hidden, Bai Zhi honestly said: “Well, I have seen a method on how to cure Hu Feng’s amnesia in this medical book I picked up. I told him about it and promised to treat him. He saw me busy all day, and I’m afraid that I will be busy in this matter, so he reminded me about it. In fact, I remember it by heart, so no need to worry!”
Hu Changlin was overjoyed and asked immediately: “Can you really cure Hu Feng’s amnesia?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Of course, how can I just brag about it? It’s just, Hu Feng’s amnesia is caused by a serious head injury. The blood clot in his brain has stayed for a long time. It is very impossible to clear it overnight. It will require a long period of treatment. Only by dissolving the blood clot bit by bit his life will be safe and will have no harm to his body.”
