Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

"This...this..."

Zhao Dazhu stammered, unsure of what to say.

Lu Yanqiu finally realized something was wrong, and when she looked down, she blushed deeply.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Zhao Dazhu had already put all the dishes on the counter and was waiting to pay.

But Lu Yanqiu, the shop owner, still didn't return to the supermarket.

Zhao Dazhu waited a while longer, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he shouted, "Hey girl, come out and calculate my money! Are you not taking my money?"

"You...you can go now, I won't take your money." Lü Yanqiu's embarrassed voice came from the backyard of the supermarket.

The supermarket is Lü Yanqiu's home.

There's a supermarket in front, and her living quarters are behind, separated by a concrete courtyard.

Lü Yanqiu is probably hiding in one of her rooms right now, too afraid to come out and see anyone.

Zhao Dazhu said helplessly, "Don't worry, little sister, I will definitely not tell anyone what happened just now. Actually, I can understand how you feel. It's normal to feel lonely since you're not married."

"Stop talking!" came Lü Yanqiu's angry voice.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. You see, I've been single for so many years, without even a wife, so I really understand your situation..."

Before Zhao Dazhu could finish speaking, Lü Yanqiu rushed in, her face flushed, saying, "I told you to stop!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Just hurry up and calculate the bill for me. I need to go home for dinner after I pay the bill," Zhao Dazhu said with a smile.

Lü Yanqiu didn't dare to look Zhao Dazhu in the eye, and kept her head down scanning the code to calculate the money.

After Zhao Dazhu paid, Lü Yanqiu finally whispered, "Old Zhao, you...you really can't tell anyone what happened just now, otherwise I...I won't have the face to stay in our village anymore."

"I definitely won't tell. What good would it do me to ruin your reputation?" Zhao Dazhu said cheerfully.

As he spoke, Zhao Dazhu couldn't help but stare at Lü Yanqiu's face a few more times.

Lü Yanqiu is actually quite pretty, but the scar on her left cheek is rather jarring.

That was a permanent scar she got when she was a child, from spilling boiling water on a kettle. It's still on her face to this day.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dazhu leaned over and asked, "Why don't you find a partner? It's much easier for you women to get married than for us men. As long as you don't have too high standards, there will definitely be men who want you."

Lü Yanqiu sighed, touched the scars on her face, and said, "Looking like this, what grown man would want me?"

"There's nothing wrong with you looking like this. If it weren't for the scars on your face, you would definitely be a great beauty," Zhao Dazhu said.

"Isn't that obvious? If I could get rid of the scars on my face, what would I have to worry about?" Lü Yanqiu said irritably.

After glaring at Zhao Dazhu, Lü Yanqiu waved her hand and scolded, "Stop talking here, go away, I... I don't want to see you right now."

Zhao Dazhu glanced at the scars on Lü Yanqiu's face a few more times before finally turning and leaving.

As Zhao Dazhu left the supermarket, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There is a beauty serum recipe in the mysterious heritage that has the effect of removing blemishes and beautifying the skin.

Why don't you try making this beauty serum yourself and let Lü Yanqiu use it?

Maybe it will really heal Lü Yanqiu's face!

The more Zhao Dazhu thought about it, the more he felt that his method was feasible, so he carried large and small bags of vegetables and ran towards home.

Upon arriving home, Zhao Dazhu put his things in the kitchen and hurriedly went into his room.

This time, Zhao Dazhu doesn't plan to go to the back mountain to collect herbs himself.

Li Cuicui, that brat, wants to earn some pocket money, so let's give her this task and have her go up the mountain to gather herbs for me.

I'll pay her after she brings the herbs back; it's a win-win situation!

However, this would require drawing out the necessary medicinal herbs, otherwise how could Li Cuicui distinguish which herbs she needed?

I don't know if it's because I've become a cultivator, but my physical coordination has increased significantly.

Zhao Dazhu discovered that his drawing skills had improved significantly, and he quickly drew five patterns on a piece of white paper with a pencil.

These five patterns represent five medicinal herbs: Spirit Dew Grass, Spirit Rain Grass, Spirit Snow Grass, Spirit Pattern Grass, and Spirit Ring Grass.

Once you obtain these five herbs, you can concoct the Five Spirits Beauty Elixir!

After checking and confirming there were no mistakes, Zhao Dazhu took pictures of the five herbs he had drawn with his phone and called Li Cuicui.

"Hey, you brat, what are you doing?" Zhao Dazhu asked.

"I'm feeding the pigs!"

Li Cuicui's cheerful voice came from the phone, along with a few grunting pig noises.

Li Guangzong was the only butcher in Xinghua Village, and he raised the most pigs, so it wasn't surprising that Li Cuicui helped him feed them.

Zhao Dazhu then asked, "Do you want to make money?"

"Of course I want to! Are you going to arrange a job for me? No way, Old Zhao, do you really have that much influence?" Li Cuicui said excitedly.

Zhao Dazhu said cheerfully, "Here's what we'll do. Go to the back mountain and help me gather herbs. I'll send you photos of the herbs I need, and you can find them by looking at the photos."

"If you find all five of these herbs, one of each, I'll give you one hundred dollars."

"If you buy two of each kind, I'll give you two hundred; if you buy three of each kind, I'll give you three hundred... up to five hundred. I won't give you any more than that."

As they were talking, Zhao Dazhu sent Li Cuicui photos of the medicinal herbs.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Cuicui replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go find them after lunch and I promise to get you all these herbs! But you have to keep your word. If you don't pay me, I'll expose everything you've done to me!"

"Don't talk like I did something to you, okay?" Zhao Dazhu said irritably.

"You have to give me the money anyway," Li Cuicui said.

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely give it to you, provided you bring me the herbs I need."

Zhao Dazhu said, but fearing that Li Cuicui might encounter danger while gathering herbs on the mountain, he instructed her, "The herbs I need aren't rare; they can be found at the foot of the mountain and halfway up. So, look for them at the foot of the mountain first. If you can find them there, you don't need to go up... If you can't find them, don't go to the top either; just go halfway up the mountain."

"And regardless of whether you find it or not, you must be down the mountain before dark, understand?"

Li Cuicui said impatiently, "I understand, I understand, you're so long-winded!"

"Wasn't I just thinking of you?"

Zhao Dazhu said unhappily, then paused and added, "Remember, you must be down the mountain before dark. Even if you don't find the herbs, as long as you come to my house before dark, I'll give you a hundred yuan as a reward!"
