Chapter 816: Damn Flower Thief!
Her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was from a thousand years ago, markedly different from what is practiced nowadays, the medicinal materials used also greatly varied.
How should I put it, those sold in the pharmacies, they’re just too common, fine for treating ordinary illnesses.
But for tricky and complicated diseases, you still need to go and dig up the herbs yourself.
"I dug them up myself."
"Where did you dig them up?" Xiang Chu’s eyes sparkled, "Could it be from Medicine Mountain?"
Born in the imperial city, he naturally knew of Medicine Mountain’s existence.
However, the primeval forest was too dangerous, no one dared to approach it.
Xia Weibao nodded, "That’s right, it’s from the Medicine Mountain in the primeval forest. It’s too dangerous there, you guys can’t go. If you want any medicinal materials, just pick them from my Medicine Garden."
Xiang Chu and Hepburn were so excited, it was a rare moment of telepathy.
"Can I take everything away?"
"Can a goose take everything away?"
Xia Weibao, "..."
Can I just smack you guys to death with a slap!
"Focus on learning your medical techniques. Go buy the raw materials from the pharmacy and mix your own prescriptions. You won’t need the herbs here."
What a joke, these are all fossil-level rare medicinal materials, not something you stumble upon every day.
She would bet that neither Xiang Chu nor Hepburn had ever seen them; otherwise, they wouldn’t be drooling over them.
Not to mention those two, in this era, probably not a single person would recognize them.
Comparable to miraculous medicine!
"Once you understand the uses of these herbs, you will probably be ready to graduate. Learn step by step, steadily."
Having said that, she turned to leave, glanced back at the manure scoop thrown to the side with some disdain.
"Try not to be so heavy-taste, otherwise people might misunderstand that you like to eat... different things."
Xiang Chu, "..."
Hepburn, "..."
Ow, Master, we are only interested in medicinal herbs, not in fertilizers waaaaaah!
Lu Huashan had been standing outside the whole time, not daring to go in.
It was just too gross for her.
Seeing Xia Weibao come out, she sneakily followed, "Baby, are those two disciples of yours crazy? Are you really not considering replacing them?"
This remark, carried by the wind, reached the ears of Xiang Chu and Hepburn, and they were furious!
Lu Huashan very successfully took Director Lu’s place as the number one on the hate list of Baby Xiang Chu and Baby Hepburn!
Anyone who tries to sow discord between master and disciple is no good!
The two were already conspiring to brew a pot of croton soup for Lu Huashan.
Xia Weibao and Lu Huashan changed into their home clothes, then supported Zhong Wanshu for a walk in Lu Garden.
What Zhong Wanshu needed now was exercise.
Passing by the garden, she saw Housekeeper Fu picking a rose.
Xia Weibao’s eyes immediately bugged out, damn flower thief!
Lu Garden had two gardens, one had been converted by her into the Medicine Garden, leaving only the other one.
It was planted with many expensive plants, all of which were air-shipped back, some costing over a million each.
She liked the flowers here very much, and Housekeeper Fu had the audacity to pick one!
And it was her favorite rose flower!
Xia Weibao’s heart was bleeding, that flower once plucked, tens of thousands gone just like that.
Just as she was about to confront Housekeeper Fu to settle the account, she saw him with a red face, somewhat at a loss.
Xia Weibao was puzzled, why is he making that face.
Her sleeve was tugged, Lu Huashan quickly pulled her back, pointing towards another part of the garden.
Auntie Zhou was watering flowers there.
Xia Weibao instantly understood, so that was it, Housekeeper Fu had feelings for Auntie Zhou.
Immediately, she felt less heartache for the rose. Pursuing a woman, well, giving flowers was proper.
