Chapter 33 Reading Club

After a happy dinner, Aunt Wolf and Alexi were kept by Jiangyou.

When Jiang You expressed his thoughts in this way, the two people in front of him showed puzzled expressions.

"...tell fairy tales to children?" Aunt Wolf tilted her head.

"...Increase resistance to negative emotions?" Alexi repeated dully.

"That's right!" Jiang You said confidently, "Books are the wisdom of our ancestors, recording countless real or imaginary life stories. Reading these books is like walking through someone else's life. Learn from the right experiences, gain experience from mistakes and pain, and at the same time, your real self will not be truly hurt!

"For the little knitting girls, the plot of the book may still cause them some emotional shock. So we start with simple fairy tales. Once they have developed a resistance to the repetitive routines and recurring emotions, we gradually increase the intensity, from comedy to tragedy, and then experience some emotional roller coaster plots with twists and turns.

"As long as parents and teachers provide good guidance, allowing them to distinguish between fiction and reality, and at the same time allowing them to have fulfilling and happy real lives, they will not be easily captured by the fantasy world of stories and lose control of their emotions, turning into rampaging little spiders!"

"That makes sense!" Aunt Wolf stood up quickly, her whole body ablaze with the passion of a senior teacher, teaching and answering questions. "We can hold book clubs at fixed times and locations! Holding such events at specific times and places will also help children better distinguish between the stories told in the book club and reality! We can also set up a magical defense barrier at the book club and hire reliable knights of the kingdom as guards!

"As long as we take proper safety measures, even if the children lose control once or twice, we will be able to control the situation and calm them down before they cause any damage!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three people's eyes "whoosh" fell on Andre who was sitting at the bar looking at clues.

Andre: “…” Strange tasks have been added!

But no matter how you look at it, this matter has many benefits: on the small hand, it can stop the spider spirit from running wild and threatening the property and lives of nearby residents, and maintain public security and stability; on the big hand, if Xiaogutou and the others can really accomplish this, they can completely stabilize a dangerous magical race, thereby saving the future of this race and the tragic fate of other people who were originally likely to be slaughtered by the out-of-control spider spirit.

Andre's eyes softened as he looked at Jiang You, full of approval and appreciation - how could this little guy so easily come up with such good ideas that could shake up the country and even the world?

"Okay, you guys set the time, I'll take it." Andre said.

"Great!" Jiang You and the others cheered, and then Jiang You said, "I can provide sugary desserts for the reading club!"

Who doesn't love a snack while reading a novel or catching up on a TV show? Whether it's comedy or tragedy, potato chips, milk tea, taro balls, or double skin milk go perfectly with it!

Nasha, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen and was about to go home from get off work, happened to pass by. She sucked her saliva sharply and raised her hand tremblingly: "Well! I want to help too! I can recognize some words, and I want to learn more!" She also wanted to listen to stories and eat desserts!

"Great! How about we start tomorrow night? We'll set the location at my house!" Aunt Wolf said, "This way, it will be convenient for everyone to come and go, and the children can feel a sense of detachment from the current situation when they go home after listening to the story."

Aunt Wolf looked at Nasha and added, "If it's too late at night, Nasha can bring a change of clothes and sleep over at my house. I have a spare room!"

"Okay!" Nasha responded happily.

This was happily decided.

Everyone went home with anticipation for tomorrow. Jiangyou closed the door, sat down next to Andre, took out his business diary and lay on the bar to carefully record the accounts. At the same time, he thought about tomorrow's dessert and made a list of ingredients that needed to be prepared.

You can make some red bean paste and mung bean soup, and you can also make double skin milk with simple ingredients... I wonder if I can find the ingredients for making Cantonese herbal tea at Holly.

Cantonese herbal tea has various formulas depending on its indications and effects, including those for removing dampness, reducing internal heat, improving eyesight, moistening the lungs, removing dryness, and moistening the throat... In the past, one would just stick out his tongue to show the old lady who ran the herbal tea shop, and she would be able to immediately come to a conclusion about what kind of herbal tea to drink today. Jiangyou doesn't have such amazing abilities, but he can still mix a few basic versions of herbal tea.

Well, authentic Cantonese herbal tea is probably too bitter for children, but fortunately, Jiangyou is not a "herbal tea fundamentalist" like her aunt, and she can also make improved versions of herbal tea.

The medicinal effect is not that strong, but it is sweet and delicious. It is enough as a drink for the little spider spirits to relieve the excessive heart and liver fire!

It is necessary to replenish energy through food supplements to improve the body's immunity and resistance, and to provide a sufficient sense of psychological well-being as the cornerstone of peace of mind. However, this alone is not enough. Children who grow up in a honey pot will have no resistance to the harsh reality of the outside world.

Even the knights of the Kingdom Knights needed training before going on a bandit-busting mission. Girls, before stepping out of their parents' protective umbrella and facing the oppression of the world on their own, need even more spiritual growth and training. Appropriately experiencing negative emotions like sadness and pain in fictional stories can not only help Spider-Man build psychological defenses, but also contribute to their emotional balance and mental health.

Whether it's food or life, you need to experience the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors. Constantly eating sweets raises your threshold, making food taste bland. Occasionally, a change of pace can actually activate the brain's senses, stimulate the body's release of chemicals like adrenaline, and release accumulated stress.

Therefore, watching tragedy after watching too many comedies is also quite beneficial to health.

Jiangyou bit the pen, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, wrote down the finalized recipe and ingredients in a small notebook, calculated the required dosage, and then took out the contact book with Holly and sent her the approximate appearance, habits, medicinal effects of the herbs she was looking for, as well as the herbs she planned to use together.

This herbal formula from her world still needed to be adapted and modified locally. First, they had to find a corresponding variety from this world (if any existed), then determine the specific efficacy and toxicity of the local variety, especially the changes in the medicinal properties when using several herbs together. Only after undergoing magical testing and animal experiments could it be administered to humans. All medicines are toxic, so they should not be treated lightly.
