Chapter 43 Angelica
She ran in the dense forest like a happy little butterfly, looking left and right, with a satisfied smile on her lips.
When others saw Liu Qingqing like this, they just thought she liked these flowers and plants and was acting like a child. They had no idea that the flowers and plants in Liu Qingqing's hands were so precious.
"Chenchen, run slower and be careful not to fall."
Xin Yue called out from behind, but her tone was light.
They no longer take this competition seriously. In their eyes, it is a clear losing outcome.
"OK!"
This time, Liu Qingqing set her eyes on an angelica plant and excitedly started digging with a small shovel in her hand.
Zuo Ziming saw it, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was teasing:
"Little girl, those things you dug up are poisonous and cannot be used to make potions. Otherwise, I'll give you a complete book on Ganoderma lucidum so you don't have to spend so much time digging only to find weeds."
Liu Qingqing curled her lips, thinking that the hard-to-find plant in her previous life was just a weed in their eyes. What a waste of resources!
"It's called Angelica sinensis. It's a traditional Chinese medicine, not some weed like you said. You really don't know what it is."
The others were a little confused when they heard this. What are Chinese medicinal herbs? How come they had never heard of them before? And it was clearly poisonous.
But seeing the little girl in front of them speaking so confidently, they were somewhat skeptical.
One of the teenagers picked up the laptop and started searching, then gasped in surprise and doubt:
"Captain, Captain, look."
As he spoke, he enlarged the page in his hand and showed it to Zuo Zili. The others also gathered in front of the screen curiously and read it word by word:
"Chinese herbal medicines are the guiding principles of ancient Blue Star Chinese traditional medicine. They are collected and processed to illustrate their mechanisms of action and guide clinical application. The specific information has been lost, and the interstellar world has now deemed them feudal superstitions."
So the little girl is engaging in feudal superstition?
No way, no way!
So, one by one, they gave Liu Qingqing earnest advice:
"Chenchen, you must have been deceived. Traditional Chinese medicine has been deemed feudal superstition by the interstellar world. Don't be so foolish as to believe it."
"That's right, this is very dangerous. It contains a lot of toxins, and the toxins can't be removed by machines. You must not touch these things, or you may get poisoned."
"Chenchen, be obedient. We can do our best to get it back for you no matter what you want to play, but this is too dangerous. If you are interested in these things, I can recommend that you learn potions, but don't play with these things anymore."
Liu Qingqing was speechless. Does she look so easy to be fooled?
But she also knew that she couldn't blame others. After all, what she said was not supported by data given that the information had been lost. It was a very normal thing.
But she won't listen.
She didn't say anything to the others, but continued digging stubbornly. The others shook their heads helplessly. Only Zuo Zili came out:
"Let me help you dig. You tell me how to dig?"
Liu Qingqing looked at him in surprise. He would actually help her dig up Chinese medicinal herbs that were considered feudal and superstitious. She didn't know what he was thinking.
Zuo Zili smiled, his smile showing both helplessness and indulgence. He gently touched Liu Qingqing's head:
"I believe you are a man of some means, don't you?"
Liu Qingqing nodded.
"Since you know what you are doing, there is no need for me to waste any more words."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Liu Qingqing's technique and began to dig by imitating it.
Liu Qingqing didn't know what she felt. She just laughed and then explained the effects of angelica to Zuo Zili in detail:
Of course, she only talked about the things that were convenient to say, and she didn't feel comfortable saying the things that were inconvenient to say.
Zuo Zili is just a teenager, so there is no need for him to learn about science.
The two men quickly dug out the herbs. The others were puzzled but didn't say anything. They were military cadets after all, and their duty was to follow orders. So, they just had to obey the captain.
The group walked and stopped along the way, constantly picking out the flowers and plants that Liu Qingqing wanted from those that seemed useless in their eyes.
After walking for a long time, they only harvested three spiritual plants and more than 100 high-purity energy stones, which can be said to be a bit miserable.
They sighed and looked helplessly at what they had spent the whole morning harvesting. Seeing everyone's tired and helpless expressions, Zuo Zili decided to sit down and rest.
It was already night in the Metaverse. The sky was hazy, but not completely dark. There was only a hint of light, and a planet that wasn't the moon hung in the sky, emitting a faint blue glow.
The group sat there exhausted, not saying anything. They said they were giving up, but in fact they were still a little unwilling to give up. After all, they were all favored by the gods and had high rankings before. This sudden Waterloo made them feel very helpless.
Unfortunately, neither their luck nor their internal conditions were good this time. Now they are frantically thinking about how to get points and consolidate their ranking in school after losing this result.
Liu Qingqing looked at their worried faces and couldn't bear to disturb them. She accidentally saw a green leaf next to her and her eyes suddenly lit up.
That's not—
She walked over slowly, and when she got closer, she saw that it was exactly as she thought.
Zuo Zili, who was standing by, noticed that she ran to the corner alone and followed her to prevent any accidents.
Then he saw the little girl's eyes sparkling as she looked at the large leaf in front of her. She grabbed the leaf with both hands and pulled it upwards with all her strength, and then it was pulled out easily.
Zuo Zili couldn't help laughing when he saw her actions. He walked over and carefully examined the thing in her hand and said:
"This thing is called ground egg, and it tastes delicious."
As he spoke, he pulled out another one from the side. Liu Qingqing looked at the sweet potato in her hand with a look of surprise, thinking that it seemed that it had also been given another name.
I wonder what the real ground egg [potato] would be called?
Just as she was stunned, she saw Zuo Zili taking out the knife and about to peel the sweet potato, and Liu Qingqing quickly stopped him.
"Don't move, what are you doing?"
Liu Qingqing successfully snatched the sweet potato from his hand.
"Can't you tell? Of course I peeled it and ate it. What else were you going to do?"
Zuo Zili looked at her as if she were a fool, his eyes full of confusion.
This is why Liu Qingqing wanted to stop him. In her memory, people in the interstellar space only ate sweet potatoes raw and never thought of cooking them.
"Alright, alright, go away and leave this to me."
It's a waste not to eat roasted sweet potatoes on such a cold day, right? Wouldn't it be easier to pass gas if you eat them raw?
Zuo Zili looked at her with suspicion at this time, as if he was questioning whether she could cook.
Liu Qingqing couldn't bear it any longer. How dare you, who don't even know how to roast a sweet potato, doubt me?
Before you doubt me, at least...at least...cook the sweet potatoes before telling me!
