4. Spiritual Vegetables

The next morning, the weather was sunny, the sky was clear, and the air was fresh. Aunty Wang mostly woke up early in the morning, then she would go to the market. She would buy fresh vegetables, meat, and other ingredients to prepare meals as usual.

Strangely today, the street was crowded with unusual amounts of people.

At a certain corner of the street, there was a stall surrounded by bustling customers who were shouting to bid for vegetables. The bid ends up with two copper tales for one kilo of cabbage.

'Is this an auction house? What kind of cabbage was that expensive, the usual price was normally five coppers coins 'Aunty Wang thought.

She turned and tried to squeeze in to see the overpriced cabbage. Unexpectedly they stepped on the feet of a skinny guy.

"Aunty, you stepped on my poor leg!" the skinny screamed in pain.

Aunty Wang turned to face the skinny guy and said,

" Sorry sorry, it was not intention". Then she asked the guy, "What kind of vegetables could be sold this expensive?

The skinny guy look up at Anuty Wang and then said,

"You don't know? They are spiral vegetables! They are delicious and could also improve health".

"oh", then Aunty Wang looks at the vegetables in the baskets.

They look green glistering fresh, juicy, and mouthwatering than any cabbage she had ever seen. There was also other greenery such as spinach, pepper, tomatoes, potatoes....and they are all well grown. At the right side of the table, tubs were piling up with scallion, carp, prawn, and even abalone and lobsters. These delicacies were full of energy, their skins were dark glowing with vitalities, and the size was big, No doubt they were top-grade products, but "Aren't they too expensive?".

The skinny man heard her mumblings and then said to her

"This stall's vegetables are fresh and tasty, they can even treat constipation, and improve vitality and stamina, My patriarch was old and suffered from anorexia but now he eats more bowls of rice and seems to become ten years younger. He said no matter how expensive the price was, we needed to buy these every day. Fortunately, there will also be vegetables of normal price selling, so everyone can buy some".

"Is there such a thing, don't lie to this aunty" Aunty Wang said.

Who knows that when Aunty Wang bought and tried the vegetables, her cooking dishes received praise from her children and husband. Then she became a devoted customer of this stall as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Liu Fan was selling vegetables, and seafood every day, he will do the bidding for the best products, and the rest will be sold at normal prices. How can he always sell high prices, because it may cause misfortune, and he was still a kindhearted citizen, not like that evil merchant who only sees the money?

Soon Liu Fan became well known and was kindly welcomed in the town.

As the night approached, the weather became colder due to persisting wind blowing from the sea. Liu Fan has been practicing martial arts from a book for three days.

"Horse stance, basic fist,...ah even running ten kilometers every morning is not good enough, I was just a regular high school student how can I do all these workloads" he sight.

In the modern world, after doing some exercise his mom will always call him for breakfast, and suddenly a teardrop appears in his eyes. I can not go back, right? If I can I will be filial and take of you the rest of my life.

Suddenly a voice emerged from the house "Fan er you should rest I prepared warm water for you to take bathing. Don't forget in the morning we need to go visit your grandfather's home".

"I got it, Mom, thanks" he replied then he went inside to take a bath.

Let's check my state again,

Name:Liu Fan Sex:Male Age:12

Cultivation: 1st stage of body refinement

Association:Liu Clan

"Ah it is not working at all, I remember in the game I need to recharge money in the game, and buy a pill to eat to gain experience. I can also beat Monster to gain exp but it was so difficult now. There is also a quest mission in which I can earn reward and exp".

The problem is that he can not concoct a pill, he can not beat a monster, and he doesn't know how to trigger the quest line.

Dawn soon approached the next day, Madame Zhang woke up in the morning preparing breakfast for the family. Many days passed, the leaking roof was replaced by dried mud tile, and an extra wall was built to expand the house creating two more rooms. This was proposed by Liu Fan. The whole family's condition was improved due to the profits earned by selling seafood and vegetables in the town.

At the kitchen table, various ingredients were displayed, dried seafood including shrimp, oyster powder, and salty fis... In the courtyard, there were many fresh plants to harvest. Madame Zhang thought that simple meals were enough such as porridge, grilled salty fish, and stir-fried oyster sauce.

Today, the family will go visit her husband's family, gifts were already prepared.

Breakfast was soon made and eaten. Liu Fu brought back the donkey cart which was borrowed from the Pang family nearby. They stored up the gifts and prepared to embark on the road to Forest Spring Village.

"Big brother will grandpa give sweet to Xiao Cao to eat?" a cute voice asked.

Xiao Cao was the youngest grandchild of the Liu Family combine with cuteness, smartness, and a little bit overbearing personality, she was the precious pearl in old Liu's eye. When Liu Fu was still living under the same roof, Liu Ligui, Liu Fan's grandpa always brought Xiao Cao along whenever there were village festivals, visiting relatives, or attending ceremonies. Xiao Cao could remember all events, recognize people's faces, and act cutely in front of people. Everyone dot on her causing her to become a little bit overbearing and obsessed with money. But anyway, she just bought sweets when she had money.

In this continent, poor peasant families do not care too much about their heirs, they just inherit the family name. So the family's sons need to leave the house to establish their roots to spread the seeds. On the other hand, daughters can choose to remain in the family taking care of their aged parents then they can inherit their assets when the parent passes away, or they can choose to follow their husbands to live separately from the maiden family. Xiao Fan's mother was in this case, in Madam Zhang's maiden family there were two daughters, thus her younger sister will take care of her parents. Of course, when the parents were sick it was all children's filial pity duty to nurse the old parents.

As the sun rose high on the head, the heat was permitted in the air causing a hot breeze to gently warm the skin. Xioa Cao sitting on the donkey cart wearing a straw hat, fanning herself, looking at the scenery along the street. Liu Fan wanted to tease this glutton little girl.

Since Liu Fan space can be used to grow vegetables, which can accelerate the growth speed, it can also enchant the qualities including taste, size, and freshness, they also somehow contain some little spiritual energy from watering with the pond water. The livestock living in the pond were vigorous, healthy, and tasty. Liu Fan will always bring these priceless materials for his mother to cook to nourish the body and mind. Maybe they also have anti-aging effects as well, because his mother's look was getting younger and more beautiful, or she just recovered from malnutrition and was overworked. And Xiao Cao ate a lot causing her to become more plum on her cheeks.

Liu Fan retracted his sight from his mother, and his sister, then looked at his tall robust father who had a well-toned body, he thought" Wouldn't I grow up handsome". His sarcastically thought was interrupted when they arrived at the village gate.
