Chapter 179 Jiang Caier's Reading of Thousands of Books
The next day, some of Jiang Caier's classmates came to see the giant pandas. There were about forty or fifty people, both male and female. Many of them had filmed the short drama "The Saint is Moved, and the Body is Devoured by Thousands of Poisons" together before.
The students arrived one after another and gathered at Jiang Caier's house.
I have to say that the student with the best grades and the best appearance in the school is quite popular, although many classmates are actually envious and jealous of him privately.
But later on, they were crushed to the point of losing their temper and just surrendering! Jiang Caier is no longer curled up. She doesn't rush to the classroom in the morning. Instead, she exercises on the playground first, and then slowly enters the classroom under the attention of the whole class.
When the teacher asked her about it, she gave a good answer: "The body is the capital of revolution."
I am also the first one to leave the evening study session and no longer study late into the night.
While everyone was still in the classroom, she went to the bathhouse to wash her hair, bathe and clothes. Since there was no one there and it was very empty, she could wash however she wanted. After she finished washing, many people rushed in to grab the faucet, washing machine, and toilet. It was like a war.
However, I still ranked first in every exam. The kind that is far ahead! Or the one who hands in the paper first!
After everyone arrived, Jiang Caier took them to the milk tea shop in the garden scenic area.
The students were very happy as there was free milk tea, so they started placing orders.
Li Xiang had given instructions in advance, so the girls in charge here started to get busy, and soon the line was very long.
Some tourists passed by and, curious, also lined up. I was thinking, what kind of milk tea is this? Is it so delicious? So many people queuing? "This milk tea is quite delicious. The fragrance of tea leaves and the rich aroma of milk are perfectly blended together. It is the best milk tea I have ever tasted." A female classmate got the cup of milk tea she ordered, took a sip, and her eyes immediately lit up and she praised it.
A young female clerk explained: "Of course it tastes good. We use real ingredients. This year's high mountain tea is freshly brewed, and the milk is also freshly delivered from the local ranch every morning."
In fact, although it is new tea this year, they are all tea leaves picked after Grain Rain. Not to mention compared with the tea before Mingqian, even the tea before Rain is quite inferior. But even so, they are also tender and tip tea leaves produced in high mountain tea gardens, and their quality is much better than other milk tea shops.
What kind of tea do other milk tea shops use? Basically, they are all very bad tea foam, but this is still good, because it is tea after all.
Many people buy tea extracts directly. The raw materials used for tea extract are usually the old leaves that are harvested by machine after the tea leaves are picked in large areas with stems.
What's more, the tea-flavored essence is prepared by chemical synthesis, which is a real technology and hard work.
Li Xiang's After-Rain Tender Tea can actually be brewed on its own and can also be used as a staple food. It sells for around 100 to 200 yuan per pound on the market.
As for fresh milk, there are many local ranches, and the cost is negligible compared to tea.
Any unused fresh milk is distributed to employees and pets, or made into yogurt, cheese, etc., which can extend the shelf life. Homemade yogurt and yogurt fruit salad are also selling well.
The cost advantage of his milk tea shop should be in rent.
The land in the village and the house you built yourself don’t have to pay rent at all. In big cities like that, every inch of land is valuable and the rent is very high.
All in all, the cost of Li Xiang's milk tea shop is much lower than those in big cities, so he can put more effort into the quality of the milk tea and let tourists experience unprecedented high-quality milk tea.
As for better teas such as Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea, for example, those that cost one or two thousand yuan per kilogram, they are sold in traditional Chinese teahouses and online.
If in a mountainous area with such beautiful scenery and fresh air, tourists are still required to drink technology and work hard, why would they come from far away? Isn’t it just about pursuing green mountains, clear waters and natural health? Each student had a cup of milk tea, with youthful smiles on their faces. Under the guidance of Jiang Caier, they continued to visit the Chinese-style teahouse, Chinese-style pub, coffee shop and other places.
It happened that Zhao Xueqing was performing tea art and Yao Yao was performing traditional Chinese dance. The two beauties, dressed in ancient costumes, stunned the classmates.
Zhao Xueqing and Yao Yao are naturally good-looking. When they were in high school, they were also the class beauties and school beauties. But being beautiful doesn't mean you are good at studying or that you can perform well in exams.
During a chat, Zhao Xueqing said that her grades in elementary and junior high school were very good, but when she entered high school, she couldn't keep up for some reason. Maybe it was because she was too ambitious, and she didn't do well in the college entrance examination, so she failed.
Then my family was poor and I didn't have the energy to repeat my studies. Fortunately, a relative introduced me to a job in the provincial capital.
"Wow, that girl is so pretty and she dances so beautifully!"
"That sister's tea art performance was pretty good too. Was she the one from last year's village party?"
Many students also took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos and post them on WeChat Moments, which in turn helped with promotion for free.
Everyone was amazed at the changes in Lijia Village. To be honest, when we came here last fall, except for the backyard of Li Xiang's house which was barely okay, everywhere else was very bad. We never expected that in just less than a year, everything had changed so drastically.
So rich and so developed?
This is exactly like the Jiangnan gardens shown on TV. Then some big stars came to film a movie, and I heard they even stayed at Li Xiang's house.
"Is this the place where Xiao Long Nu lost her virginity?"
"It's not here, it's the pomegranate forest over there." A classmate pointed out.
"Brother Xiang is so creative that he actually dug a cave and brought in a crew to film. Awesome."
When visiting the filming location of the movie version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Jiang Caier heard her classmates talking like this and became secretly sulky.
"Savage, there are savages!" After coming out of the cave, some students shouted again. When they saw the giant panda Tuan Tuan and its mother, they shouted even louder! "Aww, that's so cute."
"I really want to touch it."
"Student Jiang, it's great to live in your village. Not only can I drink milk tea and coffee anytime, watch tea art performances and dances, but I can also see giant pandas."
"That's right! Others have to go to the zoo to see giant pandas, and they have to buy expensive tickets, and they can only watch them from a distance through glass. You live at home and can see them just a few steps away. I'm so envious."
"Is that Firefox?"
"Red fox!" a classmate corrected.
I saw a very rare little fox with a dog wandering in the mountains, and then playing with the giant panda. This rare scene is naturally rarely seen under normal circumstances.
"That fox is so beautiful, but it's a shame to be with a dog. The dog doesn't deserve it."
The little fox was red all over, like a ball of fire. Ordinary red foxes do not have fur as pure as this little fox. In fact, when the little fox first came, if you looked closely, you would see some stray hairs on its paws, belly, and nose. But after being fed the elixir by Li Xiang and becoming a real spiritual fox, the stray hairs gradually fell off, and now it is almost all red hair.
In fact, Erhuang is not bad either, with shiny and smooth fur and is very well-maintained. However, its head is the honest and simple one unique to Chinese pastoral dogs, with clear and stupid eyes, which is much worse than the little fox. But if you take it out alone, Erhuang's appearance is also very good.
During the next three days of vacation, Li Xiang drove and took Jiang Caier to the county library and major bookstores. They didn't buy books, they just read.
After Jiang Caier awakened her memory palace, she had a photographic memory. As long as she read the book once, it would appear in her memory palace and she could call it up at any time.
She wants to build her own "library of consciousness."
After reading so much in this way, her knowledge and learning will only become more and more profound, and the phrase "learned and well-read" is not enough to describe her. If you can integrate it a little more, you will definitely become a great scholar.
In addition, as her knowledge reserves increase, her matrix diagram's ability to trap people will become stronger.
The only drawback is that currently she needs to read and flip through each book one by one.
In the county library, Jiang Caier was flipping through a thick book quickly. Not far away, some people were pointing and whispering.
"Is that girl really here to read a book? Why do I feel like she's so impatient and doesn't even calm down and read the book carefully?"
"Turning it that fast is like swallowing it whole."
"This is fake effort, it's useless, and you won't learn anything."
"You think too much. They are not here to read books. They are here to show off, take pictures, and have fun."
Jiang Caier naturally ignored it and followed her own pace. She whispered to Li Xiang beside her: "It would be great if we could just scan and transfer it in, or absorb the electronic version of the knowledge directly."
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and gave a suggestion: "Don't you have a quantum computer? See if you can hack into the network and connect to some databases, electronic libraries, etc. Then you can download directly, whoosh!"
Jiang Caier shook her head: "I tried, but I couldn't find the direction."
"Well, maybe you lack advanced knowledge about computers and the Internet. Let's find some relevant books. If you read more, you may be able to understand the tricks."
“That’s a great idea!”
Immediately, the two of them took action and specifically looked for books related to computers and the Internet. Jiang Caier learned a lot.
"Give me a few days to digest it, and then I'll try again."
Li Xiang comforted: "Take your time, don't be too anxious, in fact, you are already very good. If it still doesn't work, I will take you to the provincial capital."
There are more and larger libraries and bookstores in provincial capitals.
After Jiang Caier obtained the memory palace, her initial "intake" was mainly high school knowledge, after all, she was preparing for the college entrance examination one year later.
Including some literary works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. The college entrance examination requires writing essays. Reading more literary books will help you to have a burst of inspiration, write like a god, and quote classics fluently.
Now the high school courses are basically the same, and it is easy to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, so I started to read more books to improve my knowledge level.
When she goes to a prestigious university in the future, it will be an ocean of knowledge. Li Xiang's expectation for her is to master the knowledge of all majors in the prestigious university.
Of course, Li Xiang will also take action himself. Before the end of the world, he will go to major libraries and rescue all paper books and electronic databases. No need to spend money to buy it, save some money.
Time is short, but the vacation is fulfilling. During the vacation, Li Xiang not only accompanied her to read books, but also replenished her with elixirs every day to fill her body with the medicinal power, which would take at least a month to digest.
Given that Jiang Caier had a photographic memory, Li Xiang carefully selected more than ten breathing methods, all of which were ranked relatively high in the system and could forge a supreme spiritual body. Some of them could be practiced at the same time, so he let her try them one by one when she had time and practice whichever one was most suitable.
These breathing methods are all moderate and peaceful. As long as you don't rush into anything, there will be no problem.
For example, if you feel something is not right, you can stop practicing. It’s not like there’s only one kind of martial arts that you need to work hard at.
In addition, Li Xiang also exchanged some boxing, palm techniques, body techniques, and sword techniques suitable for girls, so that Jiang Caier could study them when she had time.
She has no problem with her studies now, but she will probably be bored at school, so she can take a break during class and learn something else.
Exercise early in the morning, and when there is no one around in the evening, you can practice kung fu on the playground.
However, Li Xiang reminded her that there were still several years to go before the end of the world, and these fighting techniques would not be used for the time being, and she should still focus on the "fundamental way" and "condensing the spiritual body".
For the magical power of self-defense, those few "natal inscriptions" are enough.
Once you reach a higher realm, your spiritual power will be strong and your spiritual body will be established, everything else will be trivial and you will be able to learn it easily.
The reason for practicing multiple breathing techniques at the same time is to make the spiritual body complete and more perfect. A single breathing method may not be able to practice some areas, and may have shortcomings or loopholes, which may allow others to take advantage of them.
At the same time, due to the support of various breathing methods, the spiritual power possessed will far exceed that of the same level.
As for the dual cultivation method, it allows two people to share their resources, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and make progress together.
"If you have any questions, you can come back and ask me during the holidays. Don't force yourself to practice," Li Xiang reminded.
"I know, I know. You are not allowed to look for Luo Feifei or touch other women when I'm not around." Jiang Caier was reluctant to leave and offered her soft lips before leaving.
During these few days of vacation, they naturally had many intimate actions, all done secretly, but Li Xiang was very sensible and did not cross the red line.
In fact, he is only a novice when it comes to cultivation. In his previous life, he was only at the fifth level at best, and his actual combat power is not as good as his current self. Many things he has to learn while practicing, just crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Fortunately, he had a system, plenty of elixirs, and a variety of breathing methods to choose from, so he had more opportunities to try and error.
In previous lives, many extraordinary people were fighting to the death. Don’t you want to practice and learn more? No, it doesn't.
…
After seeing Jiang Caier off, Li Xiang began to busy himself with household chores and farm work.
He bought new tiles that were damaged before, climbed onto the roof himself and replaced them one by one. As the village chief, if any elderly person in the village asks him for help, he will go over to help fix the holes and replace the tiles.
There's no other way, since he's the only young man in the village and he's the most agile. Then it’s time to replant vegetables.
Many vegetables were killed or damaged by hail, so we dug up the area, leveled it, and replanted some vegetables.
For example, cowpea, edamame, amaranth, leek, celery, cucumber, bitter gourd, cabbage, etc.
He loves eating corn. He had planted spring corn before, so he planted another batch of autumn corn at this time. The corns mature at a different time, so he can eat it from July to August until October.
The vegetables grown by Li Xiang are all growing well, but the peppers are particularly noteworthy. It has lush branches and leaves, almost as high as the waist. It looks like a bush, and it is still constantly sending out new leaves and branches, and it seems to be continuing to grow.
As for the peppers, they are naturally "fruitful".
Moreover, this kind of pepper does not require much care. It is drought-resistant and cold-resistant. As long as there is enough fertilizer and water, it will grow rapidly without any worries.
Li Xiang plans to grow this patch of peppers into "old piles", or pepper trees. You don't have to plant them every year, they will bloom again in the spring of next year.
When it grows to two or three meters tall and I take a video of it, it will definitely get traffic.
Many seedlings in the rice fields also suffered. They were knocked crooked and broken, but they had strong vitality and grew again after being straightened.
It doesn't matter if it really can't grow up.
…
The construction company sent the construction drawings and quotations for the second phase of the shelter. Li Xiang called a meeting with Zhao Xueqing, Yao Yao, and Lei Xiaohui to discuss the matter, and also sent a copy of the email to Luo Feifei.
Luo Feifei was very happy and offered some valuable suggestions. After three discussions with the construction party, the final design was finalized and construction began.
The location is on another hill outside the first phase of the shelter, about two hundred meters away from the "Wild Man Village". This time the project is even bigger.
The first phase of the shelter, which is now the "Tomb Raider" attraction, can only be regarded as a villa in the mountain. After it is renovated, it can accommodate a family of no more than ten people. If there are more, it will be crowded.
The second phase can accommodate three to four hundred people.
The third phase is designed to accommodate 5,000 people.
There will be larger ones in the future.
The company has money now, so we can do whatever we want. There are no problems with the procedures.
The construction team learned some information from Li Xiang and became very motivated, fearing that Li Xiang would change his mind and quit. They also did their best when designing the plan for Li Xiang.
Xu Xuan sent an invitation to Li Xiang, saying that he was going to propose to Zhang Youyou and would hold a proposal ceremony, and invited Li Xiang to be a witness.
Li Xiang naturally went there happily.
Since the provincial capital was not too far away, only about 200 kilometers away, Li Xiang could reach the destination in seven or eight minutes with his top speed of Mach 1.5. So he set off before dawn and soon arrived at the provincial capital.
It just so happened that Xu Xuan's sports club was in the suburbs, so he didn't have to go into the city. There were too many cameras in the city, which was too troublesome. If he really had to go into the city, it would be more convenient to take the bus, subway, or taxi.
The proposal ceremony was held in the evening. Li Xiang first met with Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou to check their progress in cultivation. The spiritual power in their bodies was much "stronger" than before, but it was still far from condensing the spiritual power vortex.
This is because the two people's aptitude for cultivation is relatively poor and their practice speed is slow. It is estimated that it will take at least half a year, or perhaps a year, to condense the first vortex. This matter cannot be rushed.
Li Xiang gave each of them two elixirs. With their refining speed, it is estimated that after digesting these four spiritual medicines, they will almost condense the first spiritual power vortex and awaken the first supernatural power.
"This...Brother Xiang...is really..." Xu Xuan didn't know what to say. Such a precious elixir should be given as soon as he said so, so he said, "How about I transfer some more shares to you."
Li Xiang smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be so polite, we are so close! Just consider it as a gift from me to you."
"Thank you very much. This is too precious." Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou were both very grateful.
However, although Li Xiang didn't want it, Xu Xuan still decided to transfer some more shares to him so that he could get more dividends at the end of the year.
The proposal ceremony in the evening was naturally very romantic, and those present were all Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou's close friends.
There will be a formal engagement banquet and wedding ceremony afterwards, which will be even more grand and will involve the elders from both sides.
After the proposal ceremony, Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou asked Li Xiang to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days, and Li Xiang had no objection.
The two men took Li Xiang to various high-end occasions, introduced Li Xiang to various connections, and treated him to various delicious foods. When Li Xiang was free, he also taught them how to practice.
At the same time, he also shared some fighting techniques, such as boxing, palm techniques, body techniques, etc. Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou have already cultivated spiritual power in their bodies, so when they use these secret techniques, the power is naturally far greater than that of ordinary people.
The two made a lot of progress under Li Xiang's guidance.
Li Xiang played in the provincial capital for five days. On the afternoon of the sixth day, Luo Feifei sent a message saying that she had arrived in Chang'an and asked Li Xiang to go to Chang'an to play with her in the evening.
The two had communicated before, and she knew that Li Xiang was very fast. And she also knew that Li Xiang was in Chengdu, which was not far from Chang'an. It was very convenient to get there by plane or high-speed rail.
"I asked for a room to myself this time. I'm not living with my mother. Come over here and sneak in at night. My room has a big balcony. It's on the top floor. It shouldn't be difficult for you." Luo Feifei sent a message with an ambiguous expression.
If this news gets out, it will definitely become a hot topic and make the headlines. The little fairy actually invited a man to have a tryst in the middle of the night, which would shock the onlookers.
Li Xiang naturally knew that Luo Feifei was joking, so he replied: "Then I'll go. I just happened to have a new understanding recently, so I'll go over and exchange ideas with you."
He knew that Luo Feifei was a genius in spiritual practice, and perhaps the collision of their thoughts would lead to different insights.
"Okay, come quickly, come quickly, people can't wait." Luo Feifei was very excited. She could finally see Li Xiang again, and it was a tryst in the middle of the night. It was really exciting.
"Can you please not be so ambiguous? Where is your usual cool and aloof image?" Li Xiang was speechless.
"Haha, there's no need to act cool in front of my brother. You're just pretending to be cool for others to see!" Luo Feifei said with a chuckle.
Li Xiang said goodbye to Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou and said he was going to Chang'an.
Xu Xuan wanted to book a plane ticket or high-speed rail ticket for Li Xiang, but was rejected by Li Xiang.
It's only 600 kilometers. Its top speed of Mach 1.5 can be sustained for seven or eight minutes. It takes seven or eight minutes to sprint and ten minutes to rest, and it will be there in three pulses. It's too troublesome to take a plane or a high-speed train and go back and forth.
"Really, that's not necessary. I can arrange the itinerary myself." Li Xiang said.
"Okay then. I have a few small items for you as a return gift." Xu Xuan took out six jade bracelets, all of which were icy jade with floating flowers. The quality was good and very transparent.
"It's not expensive, just a few dozen W each. It's not worth much compared to your elixir. It's just a little token of my appreciation. Youyou picked it out these few days, so you must accept it."
Li Xiang didn't bother to be polite with him. He took the bracelet and said goodbye and left.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Xiang appeared in the Qinling Mountains, not far from Chang'an.
Because it was still early, it was a bit inconvenient to sneak into Luo Feifei's room at this time, so he swept the Qinling Mountains and tried out his martial arts and various methods.
The Qinling Mountains are not only the boundary between north and south China, but also the dividing line between the north and south in terms of geography, climate and resources. It is the dragon vein of Chinese civilization.
In autumn and winter, the cold air from the north is blocked by the Qinling Mountains. If you fly over them by plane, you can see a very obvious "boundary" between the north and south foothills.
Not only can you see it when you take a plane, you can also see it when you drive through the Qinling Tunnel.
There is green grass and vegetation at one end of the tunnel, but when you get out of the tunnel, the other end is covered with snow, as if you have entered winter in a second.
Its main peak, Mount Taibai, has an altitude of 3,771.2 meters. At this moment, Li Xiang is standing at the highest point, overlooking the vast mountains, with a heart full of pride.
Thanks to “08a” for the reward. Thanks to "Silent and Careless", "Traveling the World for Life", "Big Pumpkin Brothers", "One Leaf Autumn Life", "SL55", "Listen with Your Ears", "Looking Up at the Big Pit", and "Reader 1215215155635949568" for their monthly tickets.
