Although Senior Heizi had left, Liang Fei's mood still couldn't calm down.
Having offended the Chu Family father and son at the hotel, Liang Fei knew they would not let the matter rest, but he hadn't anticipated that they would directly seek out the local thug, Senior Heizi.
All this showed that the Chu Family had significant influence in Binyang City. Moreover, from this incident, it was evident that the Chu Family wouldn't just let it go easily.
Liang Fei wasn't worried that they would confront him openly, but he feared they would resort to dirty tricks behind his back. Now, it seemed he really had to be careful in the future.
"Xiaofei, what just happened? Who did you fight in the city?"
The worry in his parents' hearts was naturally evident when Senior Heizi caused such a scene. Long after Senior Heizi and his cohort had left, Father Liang hadn't snapped out of it and anxiously asked Liang Fei.
Knowing his son's character well, Father Liang knew that Liang Fei had never been one to stir up trouble. In fact, Liang Fei's sudden outburst today had truly taken him by surprise.
"It's nothing, Dad, don't worry. It was just a scoundrel, and I know how to deal with him!"
Liang Fei was a dutiful son, preferring to bear the burden alone rather than worry his parents, no matter how difficult the situation. He then feigned ease with a smile and glossed over the incident.
Although Senior Heizi had smashed a few pieces of furniture, Liang Fei had taken two of his cars, so he wasn't worried that he wouldn't obediently bring the money.
Now, the first thing Liang Fei needed to do was to lay a solid foundation and work hard to earn money to quickly lift his family out of poverty.
The vegetables in their own field, after being watered with Immortal Lake Water, seemed to have their growing periods halved.
A few days later, seeing that the vegetables had matured, Liang Fei picked some and had his mother cook them. Although the taste was clearly fresher than that of ordinary farm vegetables, for some reason, Liang Fei still felt something was missing.
Liang Fei had initially planned to send a batch of these mature vegetables to Yang Jingtian to see the effects, but since he himself wasn't satisfied, he naturally couldn't send these failed products to embarrass himself.
Which aspect was lacking in taste? Could it be that the magical effect of the Immortal Lake Water on transforming vegetables was only this much?
Liang Fei pondered for a long time and suddenly had an important realization.
Indeed, this first batch of vegetables was the mature produce planted by Mother Liang in the vegetable patch, and the taste was more or less set.
Furthermore, the quality of the seeds used was quite mediocre, so the miraculous effects of Immortal Lake Water were naturally hard to demonstrate.
If the mature vegetables weren't satisfactory, what about starting from the seeds?
Exactly, it should start from the seeds!
Realizing this, Liang Fei was overjoyed and had his mother harvest this batch of failed produce to sell in the town, so he could start planting new seeds.
However, to Liang Fei's surprise, Mother Liang had taken the vegetables to town to sell a few times and came back joyfully telling Liang Fei that the vegetables he had watered were selling very well.
Many people who bought once would queue up at her small vegetable stall the next time to buy again, but there were only so many vegetables in the field, and after a few sales, there were hardly any left.
Liang Fei was speechless after hearing this; it seemed he had been too demanding of this batch of vegetables. He considered them failures, yet they were well accepted by the townspeople.
However, even as failures, they had such an effect; Liang Fei's confidence in the vegetable-growing business was even more bolstered. Once the field was cleared, he rode straight to the city agricultural supply company and bought some high-quality vegetable seeds that were commonly sold.
After returning home, Liang Fei wasted no time and soaked these seeds in Immortal Lake Water overnight.
The next morning, he and his mother took hoes to the field, and together, they re-cultivated the land and planted all the seeds.
"Xiaofei, do you think the vegetables we're planting this time will really taste as good as last time?"
Mother Liang had not been very confident about Liang Fei returning to farming, but the previous batch of vegetables' hot-selling in town had given her hope. As soon as the seeds were planted, she wiped off her sweat and asked Liang Fei.
"Mom, don't worry, the vegetables we're planting this time will be even tastier than last time!"
Liang Fei smiled and nodded, reassuring his mother, "These seeds I've bought are high-tech products. Not only do they have great taste and nutrition, but they are also environmentally friendly, harmless, and grow quickly."
After planting the seeds, Mother Liang and her son returned to the village. They had just passed the entrance of the village health clinic when they ran into Master Wang, who was approaching from the opposite direction.
"Oh, Xiaofei, I was just coming from your house!"
Master Wang's face was no longer sickly as before, not only was it flushed with a healthy glow, but he also strode energetically up to Liang Fei and, excitedly grasping his hand, said, "Xiaofei, I really owe you big time for the prescription you gave me last time—it truly is wonderful!
I did as you told me, and it's only been a few days since I started drinking the Perilla Wine, but I already feel much better. I used to wake up several times a night coughing, but now I hardly cough at all and can sleep soundly until dawn. I feel a lot more energetic!"
"Hehe, Master Wang, if you're not coughing at night, of course you'd feel better."
Liang Fei was naturally confident in the prescriptions mentioned in the 'Shennong Scripture.' He had anticipated Master Wang's response and now, smiling, spoke to him.
But Master Wang was extremely excited, and while thanking Liang Fei, he did not forget to continuously praise Mother Liang, "Xiuying, you've raised a great son! Xiaofei is really a gem!"
Master Wang held great prestige in the village, and Mother Liang was even more delighted that he publicly praised her son.
The conversation among the three of them reached the ears of some villagers who were inside the clinic seeking medical treatment, and they found it very intriguing.
Most of them had witnessed the scene of Liang Fei reviving Master Wang. Although it was unexpected at the time, they hadn't thought much about it. Now, hearing that he had actually cured Master Wang's chronic condition, everyone's attention was drawn.
"Master Wang, is your illness really cured?"
Jieru was also in the clinic, and after hearing Master Wang's words, she too was quite surprised and came out to ask.
"Yes, Ru Girl, Xiaofei has cured my chronic cough!"
Master Wang's eyes were filled with excitement, and he nodded happily.
Upon hearing this, Jieru turned her admiring gaze toward Liang Fei and said, "Liang Fei, you are truly amazing!"
Liang Fei just smiled faintly, without saying much.
With such a medical case as Master Wang's before them, everyone's enthusiasm was immediately piqued. Soon, a villager stepped forward and said to Liang Fei, "Xiaofei, it's true you hide your talents! I didn't expect your medical skills to be so extraordinary.
I've suffered from kidney deficiency and back pain for many years. I was even hospitalized in a major hospital in Binyang City and spent thousands without getting better. Do you have any effective prescriptions that could treat my condition?"
"Hmm, Uncle Liu, please lift up your shirt first so I can have a look."
Liang Fei nodded and signaled the villager to lift his shirt, then used his Gold Turning Hand to check the position of his kidneys and immediately understood his basic condition.
After quickly reviewing the Shennong Scripture in his mind, he smiled and said to the villager, "Uncle Liu, I do indeed have a prescription for treating kidney deficiency and back pain. Go to the pharmacy and buy nine grams each of Eucommia, Psoralea Fruit, and fennel, along with a pair of fresh pork kidneys.
When you get home, slice the pork kidneys and cook them with the aforementioned herbs and an appropriate amount of water until the kidney slices turn black. Then drink the broth and eat the kidney slices, one dose per day for five days in a row, and I guarantee that your back pain will be cured!"
"Five doses? Xiaofei, are you serious? Can it really be cured with just five doses?"
Upon hearing Liang Fei's words, the villager named Liu could hardly believe his own ears. Could his years of suffering from back pain really be cured in just five doses?
"Uncle Liu, it's only five doses of medicine, and you will know whether it works or not in just a few days."
Liang Fei's face showed a noncommittal smile, exuding confidence as he spoke.
"Good, good, I'll go home and try it right away. If it works, I will surely thank you properly."
Seeing his confident smile, the villager named Liu was overjoyed and, without a hint of doubt, hurried home.
The consultation with the villager named Liu undoubtedly got off to a good start. Consequently, villagers suffering from various discomforts or chronic illnesses that the big hospitals couldn't cure started consulting Liang Fei one after another.
And Liang Fei took to it like a seasoned traditional Chinese physician who knew it all. Moreover, the prescriptions he offered consisted of ingredients that didn't cost much to buy.
This round of consultations seemed like a free clinic session set up right in front of the village health clinic.
