"Cheers!" Everyone excitedly picked up their glasses, partly because Xia Liu had cured Li Qinqin and Xu Fang, and partly because he was actually Mark's ntor!
Drinking with Mark's ntor, if this got out, the whole dical community would be shaken.
Unfortunately, the dical community only knew Mark. Even if Xia Liu ca forward, no one would recognize him, but Lin Hongsheng and the others understood who the real deal was.
After all the praises for Xia Liu, Liu Mang was completely annoyed. He made up an excuse to go to the bathroom and hurriedly fled from Li Zhong's house, causing Fang Fei and Li Qinqin to laugh uncontrollably.
"By the way, Brother Xia Liu, I heard you ntion earlier that Qinqin and you are like…"
"Dad, I had him pretend to be my boyfriend just now. You know how unscrupulous Liu Mang is; he's been bothering
since forever, and I'm so tired of it." Just as Li Zhong was about to burst into hearty laughter, Li Qinqin interrupted him, making him utterly embarrassed.
"Yes, that's right, Qinqin asked
to pretend to be her boyfriend." Seeing Li Qinqin's piercing gaze, Xia Liu quickly agreed.
"Divine Doctor Xia, tell us how Mark ca to be your disciple."
"Yeah, we all want to know."
"Please tell us."
Lin Hongsheng and a few doctors didn't want to hear about romances; they wanted to know how Mark beca Xia Liu's disciple and just how impressive Xia Liu's dical skills really were.
Xia Liu half-heartedly answered their questions, avoiding full responses. So matters were beyond their limits to comprehend and were better kept reserved.
The dinner lasted until 8 p.m. As expected, Li Zhong and Lin Hongsheng were both drunk. Before they passed out, they held onto Xia Liu's hand and talked to him a lot.
Lin Hongsheng suggested Xia Liu get a nominal professorship at the hospital—they'd pay the salary just for the title.
Xia Liu knew Lin Hongsheng's intentions. Having his own title there, and through his contact with Mark, could make things easier. As for the professorship, Xia Liu gladly accepted; who could guarantee he would always stay in the village? With Lin Hongsheng's support, it would make future dical visits for the villagers much simpler.
Li Zhong brought him so good news: cable digital TV was going to be installed in Osmanthus Village.
Digital electronics, that was high tech! Soon they would be able to not only watch TV but also go online—it couldn't get any better.
Xia Liu was very satisfied with this trip. Before leaving, he checked the pulses of Li Qinqin and Xu Fang. Thanks to the flow of Five Elent Spiritual Energy through their bodies, they were now in better condition than average people.
With Xu Fang present, Li Qinqin didn't dare make a move when sending Xia Liu off, but from her resentful look, it was clear that trouble was bound to happen if they t again.
"Xia Liu, you should head back first. I'll go up and clean with Qinqin." After seeing Xia Liu into the car, Fang Fei waved goodbye.
This ti Xia Liu wasn't pleased; they had clearly agreed on sothing beforehand—photos, photos!
"Sister Fang, it's not really good to leave like this."
"Well, you've been drinking, it's indeed not good for you to drive. I'll call a friend to take you ho." Fang Fei nodded seriously.
"Sister Fang, that's not what I ant." While holding off Fang Fei, Xia Liu was focused on his phone screen.
"Pfft!" Seeing this, Fang Fei finally understood. He was so serious about it that even though he was about to leave, he was still preoccupied with that matter, "Add
on QQ, and I'll send you the photos after I've organized them."
"Sure thing!" Although he didn't have the app on his phone, Xia Liu had a QQ account and planned to download it later.
After exchanging QQ account information, Xia Liu cheerfully drove off. He wasn't in a hurry to go ho. Instead, he visited several ATMs before he managed to withdraw one hundred thousand yuan.
It was too late to withdraw a lot of money, so he could only bring this amount back for now and plan to withdraw more when delivering goods tomorrow.
Now, as the number of oysters increased day by day, money ca faster, and his inco grew. Once this batch of chickens was ready, perhaps he could start many projects.
Xia Liu packed so late-night snacks at a restaurant to take back to Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman.
Upon seeing Xia Liu bringing them treats, Zhang Xiaoxue and Xiaoman each planted a kiss on Xia Liu's face before taking the snacks inside.
Xia Liu forcefully wiped his mouth. What in the world was happening? He rubbed his eyes. It wasn't an illusion, but surely sothing was off. Why would these two girls kiss him...
Unfortunately, he didn't have ti to explore this new developnt. Leaning on the courtyard wall were several big bags, and he could sll the rich aroma of Osmanthus without even getting close.
Xia Liu had initially asked those won to pack just one or two bags of Osmanthus, but they ended up with five, all of excellent quality, as if they were ticulously selected.
Leaning against the courtyard wall were also seven or eight bags of chicken feed. He had the shopkeeper move it to his ho yesterday, and what he intended to do with it was now quite apparent—mixing the feed with Osmanthus!
Previously, Fang Fei had ntioned that the chicken from Osmanthus Village had a very unique quality—it slled like Osmanthus. If his guess was right, these chickens must have been eating Osmanthus flowers that fell to the ground, which made the at fragrant.
To verify this fact, Xia Liu decided to raise them from a young age by directly mixing Osmanthus into their feed.
Xia Liu looked around but couldn't find a container big enough for the feed, so he borrowed a large tarp from Li Zhong's house. He dumped the five bags of feed onto the tarp, treating the Osmanthus differently.
Lacking a tool to crush the Osmanthus, Xia Liu, while the two girls were dining, strongly channeled the Five Elents Mantra, carefully controlling the Spiritual Energy to surge into the bag filled with Osmanthus. In less than ten seconds, the Spiritual Energy, sharp as a blade, had chopped the Osmanthus into strips; another ten seconds, and a bag of Osmanthus powder was ready.
It wasn't exactly powder; the bag of Osmanthus had turned into pellet form, like chicken feed.
Xia Liu was very pleased with this and proceeded to transform the remaining four bags into pellets, all in just three minutes.
Once done, he poured the Osmanthus pellets into the chicken feed and used a shovel to mix it evenly.
As he finished, an idea suddenly erupted in Xia Liu's head. The Wooden Spirit Energy in the Five Elent Spiritual Energy had a nurturing effect. What would happen if this feed was nourished by the Wooden Spirit Energy?
Xia Liu didn't know, but he decided to give it a try. He sat down cross-legged, a palm poised in front of him, and invisibly, the Wooden Spirit Energy surged from his palm like a flow of water.
The Wooden Spirit Energy soaked into the feed continuously, like water, finally integrating into every pellet.
Five minutes later, Xia Liu withdrew his hand, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead. Managing Spiritual Energy consumption at this level was much simpler compared to acupuncture, where concentration and control of Spiritual Energy had to be very subtle, consuming a lot of energy. Nurturing feed was just like regular Spiritual Energy emission, not exhausting, which made it less uncomfortable.
