Chapter 30 Books
Three hours passed.

During this period of time, Huaying took a total of nine kinds of vegetables. In order to refine them as soon as possible without delay, she only took a little at a time, so as to avoid taking too much and causing inaccurate results of the next vegetable test.

So, after many attempts, she found the one that could be refined the fastest among the nine kinds of vegetables.

Amaranth.

This vegetable is actually a wild vegetable. It is planted and cultivated in the vegetable garden by Huaying digging up the roots in the mountains. Nowadays, it is not cultivated in the vegetable garden much.The main reason is that the taste is not very good, and she and the senior sister are not willing to eat it, so there are not many kinds.

Now it seems that although this donkey purslane is unpalatable, it is the most effective one among the nine kinds of vegetables.

Huaying did a simple test, taking the same amount of purslane and comparing it with other vegetables. In a period of time, her internal strength improvement speed was about [-]% higher, and compared with red fruit, it was more than [-]% higher. .

In this way, if one compares the cultivation without taking any red fruit or wild vegetables to "one", then after taking amaranth, the cultivation speed can be close to "two", fully doubled!
"This donkey purslane is so strange. It is much higher than other vegetables. Could it be that there is a mystery inside?"

Huaying was holding a bunch of stems and leaves of donkey purslane, looking at it from time to time.

However, no matter how she observed it, she felt that this dish was ordinary, just like other vegetables, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Could it be because the purslane is a wild vegetable?

Or, is there any other reason?
"There must be a mystery in this!"

After thinking for a long time, Huaying was secretly determined.

She is going to go to the village tomorrow to see if there are any books and ancient scrolls about plants in any of the friends' homes. If she can find out the connection, she may be able to find a new direction.

Day two.

After breakfast, Huaying greeted her master and senior sisters, then ran down the mountain in a hurry, passed through the pile of bones at the foot of the mountain, and walked straight to Lijia Village.

"Two fat and two fat, do you have any books at home? Do you have books or not?"

As soon as she entered the village, Huaying's eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately caught a familiar friend, grabbed him and hurriedly asked.

Er Fat is not fat, but very thin.The reason why it is called Erpang is because his brother's nickname is Dapang, so he is called Erpang.

"What book?"

Seeing someone grabbing his clothes, Er Fatty said in a daze.

Suddenly, he realized something, and his face flushed immediately, "No, I don't have books at home, and I don't have that kind of books at home."

After speaking, he turned around and ran away, leaving Huaying standing there alone, bewildered.

"What, really, if you don't have it, you don't have it. Why run away?"

After a while, she was wandering in the streets of the village, and she met a little girl of the same age, with two braids in her hair, who was bouncing around as she walked.

"Xiao Cui, where are you going?"

Hearing someone calling her name, the girl turned her head and smiled shyly, "Sister Erya, I'm going to play at Uncle's house, why do you have time to go down the mountain today?"

"Oh, I'm going down the mountain to find something. By the way, do you have any books at home?"

Huaying is still called Erya in the village. She likes this nickname very much, and always feels like she is still in her own village, very kind.

"Book? Sister Erya, what book are you looking for?" Xiaocui walked over with a puzzled look on her face.

"That's the kind."

Huaying gestured with both hands, and couldn't describe the book she wanted for a long time, "Anyway, it's the kind of book with a lot of knowledge, such as a encyclopedia."

"Then my father should have one. He used to be the teacher's bookboy in the private school in the town when he was a child." Xiao Cui immediately understood, and said cheerfully, "Sister Erya, let me take you to my father, he must know that you want What book are you looking for?"

"Then thank you Xiaocui, I will bring you some fruits from the mountain some other day."

Huaying giggled, took her by the hand and rushed to Xiaocui's house.

She is very familiar with Cui's family, she used to go to the other's house to play after school, and of course she knew that Xiao Cui's father was quite knowledgeable.

Not long after, the two arrived at a small farmyard.

A middle-aged man in plain clothes just walked out of it, with a hurried expression, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere to do some business.

"Daddy." Xiao Cui called softly.

When the middle-aged man saw his daughter, his complexion softened, and he said kindly: "Tui'er, why are you back suddenly? Didn't you go to your uncle's house to play?"

"Daddy, my friend wants to ask you"

Xiaocui took Huaying's hand beside her and told the story.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said: "Well, I'm rushing to the town now, you go to the study to find it yourself, remember not to mess it up."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Huaying was overjoyed, and thanked her with a bow.

Soon after the middle-aged man left, the two walked into the yard together.

Under the leadership of Xiaocui, Huaying came to her study.

It is said to be a study room, but it is actually just a small room for storing old books. There is only a bookcase and a few old wooden boxes in it, and the wooden boxes are covered with dust.

It can be seen that the owner of the study has seldom taken care of the place, and even Jin rarely comes in.The door locks just now were all broken, and it took the two of them a long time to open them.

"Sister Erya, this is the place. Daddy's previous collection of books is stored here." Xiaocui pointed to the bookcase in the room and asked softly, "Do you want me to look for it with you? It should be faster if two people look for it together. "

"Okay! I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaocui!" Huaying nodded immediately.

The collection of books here is not small. If one person searched for it, they might not be able to find it in the dark. Two people should be able to read it much faster together.

So, the two stepped up.

Xiaocui was in charge of the cabinets, while Huaying opened the wooden boxes.

Looking for standards, find out all the books with "Compendium", "Collection" and "Records", and some books related to flowers, vegetables and fruits will not be missed.

Either they are both literate, otherwise it would be hard to find books with so many characters.

It took more than half an hour for Huaying to rummage through the old boxes, but found a few books that interested her a lot.

"The Chronicle of Yu Medicine", "Huaiguo Territory Map", "Lu Jiulang's Travel Notes"

Huaying is quite concerned about these three books. One is a book explaining medical skills. Although her master is a famous genius doctor in the world, she has not asked her master about this aspect so far, and now she wants to. Learn about this knowledge.

The second book is the border map of Huaiguo. Huaying only knows that her home is in Yangshan Village, Qingyang Town, Qingyang Town belongs to Dongqing County, and Dongqing County belongs to Yongzhou. Chinese.

She has never had the concept of a country before, and Yongzhou is the biggest place she has ever heard of.And on this territory map, she suddenly found that Yongzhou is just one of the several states in Huaiguo, and Dongqing County is even smaller, only shrunk in a remote corner of Yongzhou, and it is easy to miss it if you don't check it easily.

This discovery surprised him greatly, and he also had a vague idea of ​​the Huaiguo he was in now.

The third travel book was just out of curiosity. After looking through it at first glance, it contained many little stories that had never been heard before. Huaying was quite interested, so she picked them out of the wooden box.

At this time, just when she thought she had nothing to gain today except these three books, Xiaocui's shout came from the other side.

"Sister Erya, hurry up and see if this book is what you're looking for!"
