Cross-border surveillance

At noon in midsummer, the sun was blazing, and the leaves of many plants were dried.

In a creek a few hundred meters away from Tao An's old house, he was soaking in the cool water wearing big pants, not to mention how comfortable he was.

In the past half day, he had practiced food, exercise, and cleaning. He was tired and dirty. He could have taken a shower at home, but where would it be so refreshing to have a clear flowing stream?

Although there are many inconveniences in the countryside, you can bathe in clear flowing streams, but you can't enjoy it casually in the city.

“Many places in the countryside are nice, but the mosquitoes are just too annoying.”

After almost soaking, Tao An stood up from the water with a splash. Looking at the red envelopes that were not swollen in several places on his body, he felt very melancholy. He made a cross on the red envelope with his fingernails, which felt a little refreshing.

Then he ignored the mosquito bites on his body and grinned happily. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise he would have thought he was a fool.

In the past two days, he insisted on practicing the food and exercise exercises, two hours in the morning and evening. Although the movements were not standard, he had practiced the exercises and moves hundreds of times, and he had already formed a certain muscle memory. Video can also be practiced alone.

The effect is undoubtedly significant.

After just two days of work, he obviously felt that he had lost some weight. The exact amount was not clear. He would have to find someone to weigh him to find out. What was especially obvious was his belly. Originally, it was round and protruding, but now it is all round. It has become much flatter, and the outline of muscles can be faintly seen in many places on the limbs.

His face has also lost a bit of weight. Looking at the reflection in the water, Tao An can clearly feel that his appearance has improved. He still has the same face, but after losing so much weight, he looks obviously different from before.

Everything is developing in a good direction, how can he not be happy?

"It is worthy of the quick success method mentioned by Hall Master Du. The effect is simply jaw-dropping. It is more significant than a month of iron training in many gyms. Moreover, the exercise of iron training in the gym cannot be compared with the practice of this method. The strength is significantly improved, and the muscles and bones are improved." I have also stretched a lot, and my movements are getting closer to the standard little by little. If I keep this up, if nothing else, I will probably be able to develop a pair of toned muscles in less than a month!"

Just thinking about Tao An's toned body that makes the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law drool with envy makes Tao An look forward to it. Coupled with the improvement in appearance, no knife in the world can stop him from practicing Kung Fu every day.

Just as women love beauty, boys also want to attract attention. There is no difference in essence.

The effect of the exercise was remarkable, but Tao An felt a little melancholy when he thought about eating so much while practicing the exercise. But then he thought about it, he actually ate it?

Tsk…

After a moment of narcissism and thought, Tao An put on a clean pair of cropped trousers and walked home without putting on any clothes. He had to go to town later.

"Now that you know the comparison of the length of a day in the other world, it is necessary to follow this time comparison and set a ringtone to remind yourself of the daytime there. In this way, there is no need to stare at the quiet night over there. , and you won’t miss the important information that may be there during the day.”

Thinking about these things, Tao An put the clean clothes to dry when he got home, called the motorcycle master and asked him to pick him up and take him to town. While waiting, Tao An also changed into a set of clean clothes.

He regretted a little. If he had known it would be so troublesome to go back and forth to the town, he would have brought his family's car over. He thought it was unnecessary at the time, but Tao An regretted it now.

His family has more than one car, but none of them are luxury cars. Tao Youlin has a Volkswagen worth more than 200,000 yuan, and Liu Xiaorong has a Wuling Mini. Even if Tao An drives his father's Volkswagen, his parents can also take the Mini to work. Now, It's too late to say anything.

Mo's master arrived soon after, and Tao An closed the door and went to town with him. It was still night in the other world, and there was nothing worth paying attention to for the time being.

"There are a lot of things to purchase this time. I don't know if I can buy them all at once. If I can't buy them all, I can only buy them online."

After arriving in town, Tao An didn't know where to start shopping for a while. Food was simple. Supermarkets and markets were convenient. Bedsheets, bedding and toiletries were also good. There were special places to sell them. You could also go to a traditional Chinese medicine store for medicinal materials. Where can I buy some special tools?

For Tao An, purchasing incense-making tools is the most troublesome.

Making incense is not just a matter of mixing various ingredients together. You need to have relatively accurate weighing tools, right? Do you need grinding tools? Do you need cooking tools? There are also cooking tools...

Tao An got a headache when he thought of the various tools mentioned in the incense recipe. It was as if he was making alchemy, but it was actually almost the same.

The medicinal materials in the incense recipe cannot be used directly after taking them back. Some of them require special processing, and the processing methods of some medicinal materials and minerals are different.

He just couldn't understand why it had to be ground with a stone mortar? Do you have to use a casserole for frying? Do you need bamboo products for drying? Is gauze necessary for filtration?

Tools are one thing, but the key is that the preparation of some medicinal materials requires time...

Although he doesn't understand, he thinks it's better to follow the recipe. Who should he cry to if he uses the wrong tool or the wrong time and it is ineffective or toxic?

It's too troublesome. I don't know if it can be cured. Whether it has any effect or not is one thing. Tao An wants to give up, but it's here...

"Go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy first. If it takes too much time to purchase other things, it will be in trouble if it closes."

The pharmacy was easy to find. After arriving at the place, Tao An briefly communicated at the counter and handed over the medicinal materials needed for the Ningshenxiang prescription. They were all medicinal materials, including the mineral part. He had checked online before and found that those minerals were also traditional Chinese medicine.

What he thought was that it would be best if he could buy it all at once, and if he couldn't buy it, he would find a way online.

However, for the sake of safety, Tao An still increased or decreased the quantity of various medicinal materials, and the specific proportions had to be weighed back.

In fact, Tao An himself knows that such confidentiality measures are somewhat redundant. After all, most medicinal materials need to be processed twice before they can be used, and the order is also very particular. If one step is wrong, the Ningshen Incense will not be made. Who knows what will happen? What's going on.

"Young man, your recipe is a bit strange. Are you making wine or treating diseases? Regardless of the claws, some of the medicinal materials in it are counterproductive. If you eat them, you may cause fire, and the ratio of the ingredients seems to be wrong."

The person who dispensed the medicine was a very energetic old man, who was estimated to be seventy or eighty years old. He wore reading glasses and seemed to have done a lot of research in this area. He took a look at the prescription and noticed something was wrong. He deliberately raised his head and looked at Tao An to remind him. , speaking the local dialect.

Guessing that the other party was an old Chinese medicine practitioner, Tao An did not doubt his vision and experience at all, and replied in the same dialect: "Old man, this is not for eating, don't worry, it will be fine."

"Okay, I won't ask you much about what you are doing with it, but I remind you, don't mess around. If something goes wrong, you can deal with it. There is surveillance. If something goes wrong, I won't be blamed." The other party shook his head and said.

Tao An smiled and said: "That's a possibility. By the way, do you have all the things on it?"

"I took a look, they are all common things, I have them all," the other party nodded.

Any surprises? Don't want to buy online? Tao An, who was worried, confirmed: "What kind of minerals are included?"

"Nangge minerals, those things are also Chinese medicinal materials. I don't even know how to buy Nangge medicine, so I won't ask about it. I have inherited Chinese medicine from my ancestors and have been running pharmacies for decades. I don't dare to talk about other Chinese medicinal materials. In this regard, many hospitals are more complete than Hey. What do you think? I have a certificate, and people from many big cities have come to see me for medical treatment. If you wait, I will fix it for you in a heartbeat."

The old man looked at Tao An with an expression as if you doubt me, then turned back to grab the medicine.

"Pretend alone," Tao An immediately ordered.

The other party didn't turn around and said, "You know, there are a lot of things going on. Young people today don't know what kind of tricks they are doing. They must have believed in some nonsense on the Internet."

After a while, the other party wrapped up all the things Tao An wanted individually, put them on the counter, made calculations with an abacus, raised his head and said: "Okay, the total is three thousand eight hundred and fifty-six yuan. I’ll charge you 3,850 yuan, just a few dollars.”

When Tao An saw the other party using a plate to hold the batter-wrapped abacus, he thought it was quite retro, but when he heard the price, he was dumbfounded and said: "It's expensive?"

"What do you think? Do you think I'm so annoying to you that everyone can buy some medicine without thinking about it?"
