Chapter 187 Tong Ren Tang, Lingzhi
Of course he knew what was going on! He got off the bed and went to open the door.

"Second sister, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Brother, did you make the ice in our room and our parents' room?" the second sister asked directly.

"Yes! What's the matter?" Li Jiayi looked indifferent.

"What else? Where did you get the ice?"

"I say, second sister, it's just ice cubes, is it worth making a fuss? If you don't understand, go ask your eldest sister, ice can also be made."

"Ah! Ice can be made?" asked the second sister in confusion.

"Okay, is there anything else? If not, go down. I haven't woken up yet!"

"Oh!"

The second sister, Li Jialin, came down from upstairs in frustration. She happened to see the eldest sister carrying millet porridge into the room, so she asked, "Eldest sister, my brother said that ice can be made. How do you make it?"

"It should be saltpeter."

"Salt?"

"Yes! You can use saltpeter to make ice. This has existed since ancient times."

"Ah! Can ice really be made?"

"Yes, but it will require a lot of saltpeter, which this little brother should be able to get."

"Wow, that's great. I asked my brother to make some ice and put it in the house at night. It's really cool."

Li Jiaqi looked at Li Jialin as if she was a fool and didn't say anything.

Although saltpeter can be used to make ice, the amount required is very large and it is impossible to make it every day.

My sister wants to do it every day, is this a joke?
Soon, mother came in with the food, and the family ate quietly. Neither Li Aimin nor Ye Xin asked about the ice cubes.

Needless to say, it should be through Li Jiaqi's popularization of science.

Of course, it is also possible that they themselves knew about making ice from saltpeter.

Although the two of them never formally attended school, they read a lot of books with their grandfather!

After dinner, Li Aimin and Ye Xin rode their bicycles to work, and Li Jiayi also said goodbye to his elder sister and left home.

Li Jiayi arrived early at the small woods next to Houhai.

It was too early. After waiting for about half an hour, the little black fat guy and his friends finally arrived one after another.

Still two backpacks for each person.

After they left, Li Jiayi did not wait here, but drove his tricycle to Tongrentang.

He is not here to sell medicine, but to buy medicine.

Tongrentang has a mosquito repellent ointment that has no effect on the skin when applied to the body, but is extremely effective in repelling mosquitoes.

He didn't want to feed mosquitoes anymore.

Although after entering the space, I can use the power of space to remove the toxins injected into the skin by mosquitoes, it was very itchy at the time!

So mosquito repellent ointment is a necessity. Besides, he didn't buy the ointment for himself.

Both my parents and my two older sisters need it because there are quite a few mosquitoes at home.

Li Jiayi parked the tricycle in front of Tongrentang, turned off the engine, locked the tricycle, and then walked inside.

Tong Ren Tang is now a joint venture between the public and private sectors, but the main operating personnel are still from the private side, and the public side just has some people here.

"Young man, do you want to buy some medicine?" a pharmacist in his thirties asked when he saw him come in.

"Yes, I'll buy some of your mosquito repellent ointment."

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"Give me ten boxes first! I'll try the effect."

"Ten...ten boxes." The pharmacist looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.

He thought the little guy was here to amuse him.

Ten boxes! Is this for a meal?

Not only that, the little guy actually said that he wanted to try the effect. Why not use ten boxes to try the effect?

"Are you sure you want ten boxes?"

"Yes."

The pharmacist looked at Li Jiayi again and said, "Mosquito repellent ointment is not cheap. It costs two yuan a box."

"No problem." After saying that, Li Jiayi took out two big black tens and placed them on the counter.

"Huh!" This time the pharmacist was sure that Li Jiayi came to buy medicine, but he didn't understand why he bought so much at once.

"Just a moment."

Soon the pharmacist came over with ten boxes of mosquito repellent ointment. When Li Jiayi saw the ten boxes of mosquito repellent ointment, he understood why he had that expression.

The main problem is that the box is a little too big. The box is made of beautiful white porcelain, about 20 centimeters in diameter and 5 or 6 centimeters in height.

It’s such a big box. If one person uses it, it should be enough for the whole mosquito season!

In fact, Tong Ren Tang packages the products according to one season per person, but Li Jiayi just didn't know it.

No wonder people look at me like I'm a fool.

But now that I have said it, I have to buy it! At worst, I can put it in a static space and use it later.

Li Jiayi even wanted to buy more, knowing that many things would not be available for purchase in the future.

But he is not in a hurry. He wants to see the effect first. If the effect is really good, there is no problem buying more.

Just as Li Jiayi was about to leave with the mosquito repellent ointment, he suddenly remembered something.

Turning around, he asked, "By the way, do you collect medicinal herbs here?"

"Yes, but we only take the good herbs."

Hearing him say this, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up. You know, there are a lot of good things in his space! Ginseng is more than 30 years old, there are also Polygonum multiflorum, and even Ganoderma lucidum is piled up.

He didn't want to sell these herbs, he just wanted the people at Tongrentang to help him take a look at the quality of these herbs.

"Please wait a moment." Li Jiayi said and ran out.

He pretended to put the net bag of mosquito repellent ointment into the box, but in fact he had already put it away.

Then he took out two wooden boxes, one of which contained a ginseng about thirty years old, and the other contained a Ganoderma lucidum.

This time when he entered Tong Ren Tang, Li Jiayi put the box directly on the counter.

The pharmacist came over, looked at the two boxes and asked, "What is this..."

"Open it and have a look."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, the pharmacist opened one of the boxes, and it turned out to be a big box.

Suddenly a Ganoderma lucidum appeared in front of him. When the pharmacist saw it, his eyes lit up.

He had seen many Ganoderma lucidum, but he had never seen the one that Li Jiayi took out before.

In fact, this is normal. Ganoderma lucidum grown in the natural environment will have some defects to a certain extent.

But the Ganoderma lucidum that grows in space, and is wild, is absolutely flawless.

"Young comrade, do you want to sell this Ganoderma lucidum? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a suitable price."

"Please take a look at the box below first."

"Oh! Okay."

The pharmacist quickly opened the small box and found a ginseng root inside.

The pharmacist took a look at Li Jiayi and said, "This is a ginseng that is about 30 years old. It is in perfect condition, but it is too young."

In fact, in this era, there are many ginsengs that are thirty to fifty years old, and there are even ginsengs that are hundreds of years old.

Even in the 1980s and 1990s, ginseng that was 30 or 50 years old was not particularly precious.

It was only after the 21st century that ginseng that is thirty to fifty years old began to be considered a treasure.

They even regard wild ginseng that is ten or twenty years old as treasures.

"If I sell it, how much can Tongrentang give me for this ginseng?" Li Jiayi asked.

Although this ginseng is young, it is in perfect condition. If you want to sell it, I can give it to you for thirty dollars.

Li Jiayi originally thought it would be at least a hundred yuan, but he didn't expect it to be only thirty yuan, which made him speechless.

Of course, it’s not that the price offered by Wu Yu is low, but that Wu Yu’s wild ginseng that is about 30 years old is so worthless.

"How much is this Lingzhi?"

"I can give you one hundred and twenty dollars for this Lingzhi."

Ganoderma lucidum is an annual plant, and its appearance and medicinal efficacy are important, so its price is much higher than that of thirty-year-old ginseng.

Ginseng is a perennial plant. The older it is, the better its medicinal effects are and the higher its value is.

Ganoderma lucidum is just the opposite. Although it is an annual plant, it can grow for three to five years under special conditions.

However, the efficacy of this thing decreases by three points with every additional year it grows. If it really grows for three to five years, it will basically have no efficacy.

Therefore, the medicinal effect of annual Ganoderma lucidum is the best.

The Ganoderma lucidum that Li Jiayi took out was an annual, but it was very large, of perfect quality, and its medicinal properties were not lost.

It seems that between ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma lucidum is more effective in the short term.

"Okay, I'll sell it to you!"

After taking them all out, Li Jiayi had no intention of putting them away.

To him, this thing is nothing at all. There is no telling how many ginsengs there are on the mountain behind his space.

As for the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, there was a lot of it in the static space! He didn't even know how much there was.

However, he has no plans to sell these, at least not now, because these things will be more valuable in the future.

This value is not about money.

Li Jiayi left Tongrentang with 150 yuan. Unexpectedly, when he bought mosquito repellent ointment, he not only did not spend any money, but also made 130 yuan.

Returning to the grove again, Li Jiayi parked and locked the tricycle, then took out a box of mosquito repellent ointment and began to apply it.

It was mainly applied to the exposed areas. After that, Li Jiayi took out a bamboo chair and a fishing rod and went fishing again.

He chose this place because there were trees here.

Although the weather is very hot now, sitting under the tree, by the lake, with the breeze blowing, it feels quite cool.

But he also knew that such comfortable weather would not last long.

Because it's not the hottest time yet, so I don't feel anything.

You know, this year is a severe drought! The weather will be unusually hot.

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed. At noon, Li Jiayi went into the space to eat something, and then took a nap.

It was not until after two o'clock in the afternoon that he came out of the space.

At around three o'clock, some people came over, of course to get peanuts and sunflower seeds.

The first person to come over was not the little black fat man. It seemed that someone had found a way.

The little black fat boy was the fifth one to come back today. He was sweating all over and looked even darker than before.

"Li Jiayi, can you still get some iced watermelon juice?"

"Sure! What's the matter?"

"Uh! Why didn't you say it earlier?" the little black fat man asked speechlessly.

"You didn't even ask!"
