MTL - I Can See Through All Information

Chapter 22: Extremely Fresh Things, "Baicao Jing" (two chapters in one)

"It's in the river outside the village. Xiaoyan and I went fishing yesterday and caught it by luck." Lu Qing replied.

 “How can there be green turtles of this age in that small river?” Old Doctor Chen was a little surprised.

The river outside the village is not that big, but it is rare for a green turtle to grow to this size.

But it suddenly occurred to him that none of the nearby villages seemed to make a living from fishing.

Perhaps this is the reason why the green turtle can grow up.

“No wonder you said before that you have a talent for fishing, and you can produce fish stones of this quality. The green turtle is quite big, but you can actually catch it?”

After Lu Qing had eaten a few pieces of cake, the old doctor said slowly: "I said before that after this injection, you are allowed to learn about medicinal materials from me for half an hour. Do you remember it?"

“Why, Grandpa Chen, isn’t the bigger the fish, the better?” Xiaoyan asked confused.

“This is all thanks to the silk thread you gave me, Grandpa Chen.” Lu Qing said modestly, “Grandpa Chen, that silk thread is really tough. Without it, I really wouldn’t be able to catch this big fish.”

“I dare not accept your gift.” Old Doctor Chen came back to his senses, “Do you know how much money this red moon carp could fetch if sold in the city?”

"Yes, it seems that you have listened to my instructions these days and have not treated yourself badly in terms of food and drink."

 Old Doctor Chen suddenly laughed heartily.

 Because, in the "Baicao Jing", the names of many medicinal materials are quite strange, and the characters are very uncommon.

 So much so that when the original owner was a child, he often heard his grandfather lamenting that he was ashamed of his ancestors for the loss of those ancient family books.

Then, as I looked at it, the medicinal scripture in front of my eyes suddenly glowed with a hazy white light.

His expression was partly fake, and partly, it was genuine surprise.

 Because the old doctor could see that Lu Qing was a young man with great self-esteem.

 Just like some seafood in the past life, the bigger it is, the more expensive it is. On the contrary, when it is small, the unit price is higher.

The key point is that this is just a strange fish with a hint of red light in the white light. If it were a real red light level spiritual fish, how precious would it be?

“Lu Qing wants to learn the knowledge of medicinal materials, not just for living, but because he is really curious about all kinds of magical medicinal materials and wants to know how they can cure diseases and save people.” Lu Qing said seriously.

“Why, aren’t you happy?” Old Doctor Chen asked.

 “Okay!” Old Doctor Chen nodded.

“There’s something in the bucket, and it looks like it’s quite heavy.”

 “That’s okay, then you can start learning now.”

 Old doctor Chen looked at the red moon carp in the bucket again. Then he frowned: "It's a pity that although your red moon carp is of good quality, it's a bit bigger. I'm afraid it won't be worth a hundred taels of silver, and the value will be slightly lower."

"Okay, it's settled. You put the fish here with me, and after two days, I will take it to the city and sell it for you, exchange it for silver coins, and you can take it back for household use."

“Here is a book called the Book of Herbs, which records the names, diagrams and growth habits of various medicinal materials. Take it and study it carefully, and compare it with the herbs dried outside the yard. If you don’t understand anything, come and ask me.”

 Old doctor Chen waved his hand, not really caring.

 “That’s the fish.”

Lu Qing cleared all the branches and leaves in the bucket and handed the bucket to the old doctor.

 “But Grandpa Chen…”

 In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person with a normal IQ, who studied hard and could barely get into an ordinary university.

Although he has the memory of his previous life, the words in the two worlds are different.

It’s hard to tell the habits. So even the old doctor doesn’t know that the red moon carp likes to eat blood apricots?

"So, you are really lucky." Old Doctor Chen sighed, "Maybe God saw that you brothers and sisters were living too hard, so he sent these blessings to you."

 Lu Qing’s mouth opened slightly.

 If this continues, he wants to learn the knowledge inside, but he doesn’t know how long it will take.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

 After waking up, I saw the old doctor and Xiaoyan still chatting and joking in the yard, and there was still a plate of yam cake on the stone table.

 “Wake up, come on, let’s eat something first.”

"That's good." Old Doctor Chen laughed, "I thought that after you caught a red moon carp and were about to make a lot of money, you would no longer want to collect medicine."

“Of course, Lu Qing’s interest in medicinal herbs has never weakened.”

“Grandpa, I was lucky enough to taste the red moon carp once at a nobleman’s banquet. The taste...”

 Old doctor Chen looked at the look of disbelief on Lu Qing's face and joked.

"Well, grandpa can see it." The old doctor touched the little guy's head with pity.

 Old doctor Chen observed the look on Lu Qing's face and nodded.

After sighing for a while, old doctor Chen put the red moon carp into a water tank in the house to keep it temporarily, and then gave Lu Qing an injection.

“It is rumored that its taste is so delicious that once you eat it, you will never forget it. Therefore, some good people call it one of the ten delicacies in the world.”

 One tael of silver can feed a family of three for a month.

 Finally confirmed: “It’s unmistakable, this is the Red Moon Carp!”

 Arrived in the room, old doctor Chen took out a book and put it in Lu Qing's hand.

 Old doctor Chen saw that Lu Qing was also confused, so he simply explained.

Because Lu Qing put some branches and leaves into the bucket when he went out to prevent the fish from being too frightened, old doctor Chen couldn't see clearly what was in the bucket.

“The red moon carp is a kind of strange fish. In this world, all the fish that can be called strange fish have their own uniqueness.”

 Old doctor Chen got up and walked into the house.

The old doctor put Xiaoyan down, stepped forward, put his hand into the bucket and teased the fish, and then carefully identified it.

“The big red fish is so powerful!” Xiaoyan was also a little shocked, “Grandpa Chen, have you ever eaten the big red fish?”

“Then it would be most appropriate to give this red moon carp to Grandpa Chen,” Lu Qing said.

With his medical skills, how could he not see that the two brothers and sisters looked much better than they had in the past few days.

 Old doctor Chen looked at Lu Qing's somewhat thin body and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

 Lu Qing quickly followed.

“In that case, come with me.”

He believed that if he really dared to appear in the city with such a strange fish, even if he could make money from it, he might not be able to leave the city.

Lu Qing immediately sat up straight and said solemnly: "Of course Lu Qing remembers it."

After giving Xiaoyan a few words of advice, he walked to a quiet place and opened the book.

 It is indeed a strange fish that can be evaluated as an extremely rare thing by supernatural powers.

 After getting the injection this time, Lu Qing's sleep time was shorter than last time.

 Unfortunately, during the escape process, the books were lost.

 So, if he wanted to learn the "Baicao Jing" as soon as possible, he probably had to study as hard as he did during the college entrance examination.

“Generally speaking, this is the case, but this red moon carp is different.” Dr. Chen explained.

 In his memory, when the Lu family was the richest, they probably didn't even have ten taels of silver in their possessions.

“How about it, now do you want to give this red moon carp to me, the old man?”

 On the contrary, he was somewhat interested in the barrel that Lu Qing had been holding in his hand.

 One hundred six. Three nine. Two nine. One seven

Lu Qing came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded firmly: "Send it, of course I will. Compared to Grandpa Chen, your life-saving grace, a hundred taels of silver is nothing. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done it." Standing here, let alone catching this red moon carp!"

"The most rare thing about red moon carp is its delicious taste. Generally, when the red moon carp weighs about two kilograms, it is at its most delicious and tender. For those weighing more than this, even if the umami taste is not reduced, the meat is slightly If you look older, your value will naturally not be that high.”

 “As long as it’s useful, it’s useless if I leave it here anyway.”

Lu Qing was about to say something else, but old doctor Chen raised his hand and interrupted him.

　　　Not to mention the ability to understand everything in one glance and ten lines.

 Now he actually handed a medicinal book directly to him.

 Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, the extravagance of rich people is always so exaggerated.

 He didn’t expect that the red moon carp would be so famous.

 “This red moon carp is famous for its deliciousness.”

“It will cost at least a thousand taels of silver. If you are entertaining distinguished guests, the cost will be even more unimaginable.”

 Lu Qing shook his head again.

“So now, do you still have the desire to learn medicinal herbs?”

 Firstly, paper is expensive, and secondly, pen and ink are also expensive.

The old doctor looked into the bucket and saw the flaming fish. He was shocked at first, and then moved a little.

Lu Qing knows that in this world, books are very precious.

 The old doctor really knows this fish.

Later, because his family was poor and could not afford paper and pen, Grandfather Lu was never able to revise those ancient family books.

“Oh, if you are so thoughtful, then I would like to see what kind of fish it is.”

 The grandfather of the original owner, when he fled, he took nothing else with him but a few books.

“Of course I’m happy,” Lu Qing said quickly.

"One hundred taels of silver." Old Doctor Chen stretched out a finger and saw the shock on Lu Qing's face. He continued, "The best quality red moon carp can be sold for at least one hundred taels of silver."

Lu Qing's mouth opened, but in the end he didn't insist anymore and just said: "Okay, but Grandpa Chen, the money you get from selling fish must first pay for your previous medical expenses."

 Old doctor Chen became even more interested when he heard this.

“This red moon carp is a rare and rare thing. Those nobles who are not short of money, in order to taste such delicious food, a mere hundred taels of silver is nothing.”

 Blurted out: "This, this is the Red Moon Carp?"

“Grandpa Chen, what is the red moon carp?” Xiaoyan asked ignorantly.

This time Lu Qing did not refuse, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it slowly.

 Made this "Baicao Jing" very obscure to read.

Even the original owner could only recognize some characters and was very weak in writing.

“By the way, this red moon carp has always been rare, and its habits are difficult to identify. It likes to be alone and hard to find. How did you catch it?” Old Doctor Chen asked curiously.

 Lu Qing shook his head.

Perhaps this is the reason why Lu Qing suddenly recovered from his illness?

 Lu Qing knew that he was not the kind of extremely smart person.

 In this world, he still knows how precious knowledge is.

 The old doctor thought of Lu Qing's sudden improvement in his illness.

A fish is now worth a hundred taels, which is really beyond his expectation.

This time it was Lu Qing's turn to be surprised.

　　　【After learning this book, you may be able to have a rough understanding of the various herbs in the world. 】

 The original owner did not know many words.

But my heart moved slightly.

"No matter what the value is, Grandpa Chen is here to help." Lu Qing said.

 Encouraging himself, Lu Qing continued to read.

Perhaps only practitioners like Dr. Chen are qualified to get involved in such a transaction.

 However, after reading a few pages, Lu Qing couldn't help but frown.

 Old Doctor Chen did not finish his words, but even Xiaoyan could see the aftertaste look on his face.

　　【Baicao Jing: A book that records a lot of knowledge about medicinal herbs. 】

“Yes, Grandpa Chen, this fish is so beautiful. Grandpa Zhang and the others don’t even know what kind of fish it is.” Xiaoyan also said.

“Grandpa Chen, do you know what kind of fish this is?”

  No matter how valuable the Red Moon Carp was, Lu Qing couldn't sell it.

"Inside is something I want to give you, Grandpa Chen." Lu Qing began to take out the branches and leaves from the bucket. "Yesterday, Xiaoyan and I went fishing and caught two big fish in total. We ate the big green turtle. I just want to give Grandpa Chen a taste of the smaller one."

The old doctor looked at Lu Qing, and he was really surprised now, "You can actually catch such a strange fish as the red moon carp?"

“Maybe it’s luck. After I caught the green turtle yesterday, I fished for a while and happened to catch this red moon carp.” Lu Qing replied.

 Old doctor Chen saw Lu Qing coming out and pushed the cakes on the table over.

 “One of the ten delicacies in the world?”

“A fish is worth one hundred taels of silver?” Lu Qing took a breath.

　Even he didn't recognize some of the words.

If he knew the value of that decoction, I'm afraid he would never want the money from the red moon carp again.

Lu Qing was stunned while holding the book: "Grandpa Chen, didn't you ask me to help you dry the medicinal materials and learn from you at the same time?"

After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing and said with a pleased expression: "I'm very happy that you have such a heart, old man, but I really can't take this red moon carp. It would be too wasteful for me to eat such a precious fish." ”

 “This Red Moon Carp is a bit serious.”

 Lu Qing's mind was spinning with thoughts, but there was doubt on his face.

 He knows that the purchasing power of money in this world is very strong.

But he did not tell Lu Qing that the precious medicinal materials added to the decoction he prescribed before were no less valuable than the red moon carp.

"This world is very big, Lu Qing." Old Doctor Chen sighed, "The daily expenses of those nobles are beyond ordinary people's imagination. Do you know how much it costs to entertain some nobles to a banquet? ?”

 Lu Qing can understand this.

Seeing that the old doctor had said this, Lu Qing could only take the book and return to the courtyard.

　　【Do you want to download? 】

The first two notes were okay, but when the third note appeared, Lu Qing was stunned.
