Chapter 24 Slander



"Host, your body needs both food and medicine. We have a medicine-making service here. As long as you have the gold coins, you can enjoy a full range of services." Wangcai pulled out a bill and placed it in front of Meng Zhiyu.

The above is the price for the medicine-making service, five gold coins per time, one hundred and thirty gold coins per month, and one thousand two hundred gold coins per year.

There is also the cost of medicine. One packet of medicine is required for each meal, and one packet costs thirty gold coins.

"Then I'll do it for a month first." Meng Zhiyu did not hesitate. Aren't the gold coins earned for making his life better and more comfortable?

Moreover, life is the capital of everything.

"Ding Dong, the deduction is successful. Two meals a day and Chinese medicine decoction service for one month." While deducting the fee, Wangcai also gave a report.

Meng Zhiyu asked Wangcai to set the alarm for half an hour. When he woke up, no one else had gotten up yet. Meng Zhiyu didn't want to get up either, so he went into the classroom to attend the class, which was still a traditional Chinese medicine course.

Today we will talk about the methods of preparing medicinal materials, including fire processing, water processing, refinement processing, and water and fire processing. These categories can be divided into several small categories.

In addition to learning the concepts of these preparation methods, the teacher also explains the preparation process of simple medicinal materials and demonstrates it step by step.

Meng Zhiyu took careful notes, memorized it, and then practiced the preparation process twice in the practice room.

I chose to enter the examination stage, which was still a written test and practical test. I passed it smoothly and got today's blind box.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, you got a pigpen." Wangcai kindly helped to open the blind box, and a three-dimensional pigpen was formed instantly. This pigpen automatically jumped into the flat grid.

Meng Zhiyu can click on the grid to switch to the place he wants to see, such as the land with fruit trees, the pond with fish fry and lotus roots, and the newly acquired pigpen.

"If you're giving away the pigpen as a reward, won't you also give away two piglets?" Meng Zhiyu asked, looking at the empty pigpen.

Wangcai sent a shaking head emoji to the host and refused in a mechanical voice, "No, if you're lucky, the host might be able to get a piglet."

"Okay, lie down."

Meng Zhiyu got up, poured a bowl of hot water and took a few sips. By this time, the old educated youth had already gone to work, and no one knew where Li Qingqing and the others had gone. She was the only one in the room.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Meng Zhiyu was too lazy to go out, so she climbed onto the bed and continued to make pancakes in the rented kitchen.

"Host, why don't you learn some other cooking skills and make a few more dishes to sell."

Meng Zhiyu refused without hesitation, "There's only one chance a day, it would be a waste to use it to learn cooking."

However, Wangcai did remind her, "Do you sell everything in this mall? Pheasants and wild vegetables, do you want them?"

Even if she doesn't buy anything else, she still has to spend money on medicine, so she has to work hard to find ways to earn gold coins.

"Anything that has commercial value can be put up for sale." Wangcai nodded.

Meng Zhiyu spent only two hours making pancakes, a total of thirty-six, and then directly posted them on the mall and didn't care about them anymore.

I first made myself some malted milk, then drank it, carried my newly bought bamboo basket, put on the straw hat I got from the blind box in the space, found a stick in the yard, and walked up the mountain to the back.

She planned to find some wild vegetables or fruits and sell them in the mall. At that time, the back mountain was still very primitive, and the villagers rarely did anything other than hunting, collecting firewood, or picking wild vegetables.

It is summer now, the season when plants are lush. In a short while, she picked half a basket of wild vegetables, looked around, and then hung the wild vegetables directly in the mall.

"Wangcai, how much is this wild vegetable?" You can't just click on it, right?

"By weight, ten gold coins per pound. Enter the required weight and the backend will automatically package it and give it to the customer."

That’s pretty advanced!

After walking a little further, passing a field of gray dogs, he saw a patch of red fruits. Meng Zhiyu used a stick to hit the grass on the ground and found that they were raspberries.

I was so happy. This is a good thing. In addition to being eaten as fruit, it can also be used as medicine. It has the effects of benefiting the kidneys and strengthening the essence, nourishing the skin, and improving intelligence and brain function.

Meng Zhiyu was quick and agile, picking them up one by one and carefully placing them in the backpack.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around and saw that it was Zhou Songbai, who had picked them up yesterday. They relaxed again, saw the backpack behind him, and asked, "Comrade Zhou, are you here to collect firewood too?"

"Well, this thing is sour and astringent and not tasty." Zhou Songbai responded and looked at the red fruit in her hand.

Meng Zhiyu kept accepting them, talking to him as she picked them. "I know, I didn't pick them just for the sake of eating them. I have other uses for them."

Zhou Songbai didn't say anything else and walked straight inside.

After picking them, he looked around to make sure there was no one around, then put them all into his space. Seeing that it was getting late, he grabbed two more handfuls of wild vegetables and walked back.

As soon as I walked outside the educated youth's yard, I heard a quarrel inside. "It's you guys, who are you? How come this didn't happen before? It happened as soon as you arrived. Even a fool would know who did it."

This is Zhao Shuanglian's voice.

Then Zhang Qingwan was heard saying, "Do you have any evidence? Without evidence it's slander."

Meng Zhiyu entered the yard and saw that it was full of people. Li Tingman and three others and Zhao Shuanglian were facing each other, arguing about something with grim expressions.

Meng Zhiyu walked over to Mu Ziwei and Song Guangye and asked, "What's going on?"

Mu Ziwei's usual smile disappeared, replaced by a serious face, "Zhao Zhiqing and Song Zhiqing lost some snacks, and they think that we new female educated youth stole them."

This matter can be big or small. If it is settled privately, it is naturally not a big deal. However, if it is made public, it will be embarrassing at best, but it will be troublesome if you are accused of stealing.

"Meng Zhiyu is back, ask her." When Zhang Qingwan turned his head, his eyes swept over Meng Zhiyu who was talking to Mu Ziwei, and he shouted hurriedly.

The quarreling people immediately looked over here. Zhao Shuanglian looked aggrieved, but also understanding. She said, "Zhiyu, come here. Let's talk about this. If you want some snacks, just tell us directly. There's no need to steal them."

Meng Zhiyu was unhappy when she heard this. They wanted to pin the crime on them before finding any evidence.

"Sister Shuanglian, what you said is wrong. Since ancient times, convictions have required evidence. You have no evidence and no witnesses, so how can you be sure that we took it? No matter what we did, we wouldn't sacrifice ourselves for these two snacks!"

"That's right, if we want to eat, we can go buy it. Why do we have to steal yours?" Li Qingqing was scolded so much that her brain short-circuited. She only knew that she didn't take it, but when she heard what Meng Zhiyu said, her mind instantly became clear.

Song Yun handed the half-empty snacks in his hand to Meng Zhiyu, "I bought two different packages of snacks. I finished one and didn't even open this one. Now this is all that's left."

Zhao Shuanglian also held up her snacks for the others to see. "Mine too. We've never lost anything here before. How come this happened as soon as you arrived? And you guys didn't go to work today and stayed in the house the whole time."
