Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

There are many female stars and strong women in the world who seem to be very smart, but in the end they are often betrayed by others in terms of emotions and interests. This is because the core of getting along between the sexes is not romance, but more of a psychological and physiological interaction.

In other words, this is a typical "PUA technique"

.

"Okay, I'll talk to them about this tomorrow."

Ma Hua nodded.

Then, He Yuzhu did not let the guest stay overnight, but said goodbye directly. Before leaving, he did not let Ma Hua go back empty-handed, but gave her a bottle from the fruit jar that Chen Xueru had given her before.

This item is precious and hard to obtain. Even for this small jar, Ma Hua was scolded by his parents on the way home. The reason was that he was visiting his sick master and should have helped with the work, but he brought back such a precious item, which questioned his sense of responsibility as an apprentice.

However, He Yuzhu's move is not a free gift. He hopes that MCA can help find those interesting old books in their spare time. This is not a simple donation, but a manifestation of the long-term deepening of the relationship between the two sides.

From medical books to cooking manuals, from martial arts moves to mechanical technology tutorials, and even some novels with religious allegories, Huazi describes that staying at home sick and having nothing to do to kill time, reading more books is also a way to pass the time.

When talking about these, not only Ma Hua remembered them vividly, but Wen Rui and his mother also kept them in mind.

The next afternoon, Huazi rode his bicycle to House No. 95 with a whole bag of second-hand books.

"Master, I found these books according to your suggestion. Do you think they are appropriate?"

Huazi said respectfully.

He Yuzhu opened the package and examined it. Wow, there was a thick book on the top layer. It was "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Watching his master pick up the book, Hua Zi immediately added: "The Compendium of Materia Medica was originally divided into 1955 volumes, which is too many. What I found is the new edition from , a set of six volumes. I have confirmed that except for a slight difference in the arrangement, the content is complete."

For He Yuzhu, this was not a surprise, after all, the Shennong Herbal Classic he had purchased earlier was also a new version. If it was an old version, the number would probably be much larger.

“This book is very good and practical.”

He put down the Compendium of Materia Medica in his hand and began to flip through the other books piled on the table.

Huazi has obviously put in a lot of effort: based on the requirements raised earlier, he tried to include as many categories of books as possible on the list, whether it was comprehensive or just a little bit.

"what?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows in confusion and picked up a book.

It was an old thread-bound book, with traces of time faintly visible, but still in good condition.

However, what attracted him most was the name he saw on the spine of the book: "Daoist Canon Essence Record?"

"Well, I found this in a used bookstore. It's not worth much."

Huazi immediately smiled and said, "Since you like to read ancient romance novels, I think it is mysterious and fantasy, and it is not expensive, so I bought it."

"No one should have noticed when you bought it, right?"

He Yuzhu is still quite concerned about this.

Although the current trend has not yet reached extremes, the "Criticize the Four Olds"

, activities to eliminate superstition are ongoing.

Once you are accused of spreading superstition, even if it is not a big deal, there will be some minor troubles.

"Master, don't worry, no one saw it."

Hua Zi comforted him in a low voice, "The owner and I have a deep friendship. Even if we are held responsible later, I can say that I burned it directly to eliminate superstition. No one can say anything about this excuse, right?"

"Well done, you have some brains, kid."

He Yuzhu nodded, then checked other books. He was satisfied to find that the information on mechanical processing was also available, so he immediately took out a book and read it carefully.

"Master, what's the point of our chefs learning this technique?"

Faced with He Yuzhu's questions, Huazi felt quite confused.

"Don't underestimate any skill,"

He Yuzhu looked at him sternly, "It's always good to have many skills. Of course, with your current cooking skills, you should focus on learning cooking first. Also, I'm telling you, there will be an assessment when I go back to work next week. If you fail, you will be severely punished!"

"Hehe...Master, don't worry. I haven't dared to be lazy these days. I have been busy from morning till night."

Huazi's face was full of anticipation. "Unlike Fatty, he became a wild horse when you were away and rarely met other people."

"You have to take care of your own business. If you can really surpass Fatty's efforts, then you may be the apprentice in the future."

He Yuzhu said lightly.

Hearing this, Hua Zi quickly expressed his opinion: "Absolutely not! I will definitely work harder than him!"

When he got home he decided to add some extra practice.

Even if there is no vegetable to chop, he can still practice using the knife to get a feel for it; if he can't stir-fry, he can use sand to practice flipping the wok. If you put in the effort, there is always a way to improve.

Finally, He Yuzhu gestured to his wife to collect the books and gave Huazi ten yuan, "If you do what you said, I will trust you again."

After saying this, the couple smiled at each other.

"Master, I can't accept this. You are slapping me in the face."

Ma Lihua put the money back on the table and said, "I have never heard of an apprentice buying something for you and then taking it back."

"Don't talk nonsense. Your money is not earned by scratching."

He Yuzhu took the money and stuffed it back into his pocket. "I'm counting on you to help me find some interesting books to read in the future. If I ask you to spend money every time, your salary won't even be enough to buy a small amount!"

This is by no means an exaggeration. Except for special periods, the value of knowledge cannot be ignored in any era or world. The "valuable" here refers not only to the value of knowledge itself, but also to the cost of books. Even 60 years later, an ordinary book costs a few cents, and a slightly better one may cost several dollars. If you encounter a large set of large books, the cost will be even higher.

Although most of the books that Ma Lihua brought back were second-hand books with lower prices, books are still books after all, and there are a large number of them. Even after a discount, they would probably cost around ten yuan.

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he took some items exchanged from the item mall and went out: a large bag of red dates, dried mushrooms, and dried persimmons. The prices of these foods in the mall are very affordable. The actual reason is that large-scale sales of grain and meat products will attract attention. Otherwise, with only the points mall, He Yuzhu will have a chance to make a fortune.

As for the food given before, on the one hand, it is for safety, and on the other hand, they are fresh and tempting as wild animal meat. Most of the meat that can be seen in the market now is also produced in the wild. Birds flying in the sky, rabbits and wild boars jumping on the ground, and more are fish caught by the river. As for those large-scale meats produced by factories, such as pork and chicken, sorry, they are digested in people's mouths before they can be put on the market. After all, people who can obtain these resources are not short of food and drink. They can't even satisfy their own needs, so how can they sell them to others.

"Take these local specialties from the countryside and send them to uncle and aunt to say hello."

He Yuzhu handed the things to Li Anning. She held the things and repacked the package that had been used to wrap the books. "When I recover, we will do it again and invite Uncle Zhao to enjoy a feast together."

It's not that He Yuzhu can't come up with something better, but there's no need. With these local specialties from the countryside, it's not impolite, but it can also indirectly prove the true origin of wild boar meat and bear meat, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, this effect is more subtle than showing off.

"Master, I'm afraid I'll be blamed if I take these things back."

Ma Lihua looked at the golden persimmon cakes wrapped in white sugar icing with his mouth watering. However, when he thought of his parents' words, his expression was filled with inner struggle.

"Take it. If they blame you, just come to me directly."

He Yuzhu said with a smile. "Okay, hurry up and leave. I don't plan to keep you for dinner."

"I understand. Then I will obey your command."

Ma Lihua was delighted to accept the gift, thanked him repeatedly, then turned around, pushed his bicycle and left.

When I got home, I didn't get the scolding I expected.

Ma Wenrui is naturally smart and believes that more opportunities like this are better, as they will help strengthen the friendship between the two sides.

“This dried persimmon is baked very well, sweet and chewy.”

After my mother tasted a persimmon cake, her mouth was filled with sweetness.

“I still prefer meat.”

Ma Lihua swallowed a piece of dried persimmon in his mouth. Although it was sweet, it still didn't feel as satisfying as meat. "Especially the technique that Master taught me to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, which can make wild boar meat and bear meat more delicious. I don't know when I can enjoy it again."

"You are so greedy, boy!" Mother Ma angrily tapped her son's forehead with her finger. "Who doesn't know that meat is more delicious? But we don't raise wild boars and black bears, so how can we just catch them?"

"Don't pay attention to this guy. He's just drooling over others taking advantage of him." Ma Wenrui, who had tasted red dates but not persimmons, added unhappily, "If ordinary people encounter a black bear or even a wild boar, their legs will tremble with fear. How can they keep a steady pace?"

"Besides, is it that easy to enter the forest? Not to mention other dangers, poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts alone can kill people. The complex environment and the difficulties of hunting, if hunting was really that easy, the wild animals in the mountains would have been hunted down long ago."

At this point, Ma's mother sighed: "It's not easy in this world now."

He Yuzhu didn't understand the Ma family's troubles, and even if he did, he wouldn't be too concerned.

After Ma Hua left, He Yuzhu began to study hard and opened a book to read carefully. Although he knew that the time in the dungeon space was different from the real world and would not directly shorten his life, he considered that the cooling of the dungeon and the generation of a new dungeon would take a certain amount of time. After careful calculation, he decided that in addition to using part of his time at night to improve his dungeon space skills, he should mainly improve himself through learning in reality.

This time he was reading books related to mechanical processing. Although he already had a relatively stable source of raw materials, he knew that he would eventually rely on others, and if something went wrong, it would be a big trouble. At present, he did not think about reaching the eighth-level craftsman level like Yi Zhonghai. He just wanted to master how to obtain resources and how to make items. If conditions permit, he would further master the methods of making steel or forging homemade tools, which would be enough to meet his needs.
