?Chapter 43: Forty-three, do you think I’m pretty?_1 Chapter 43: Forty-three, do you think I’m pretty?_1 Gu Chen was shocked!


    Cordyceps!!!


    He had seen this stuff in his past life when it was made into oral tablets, costing nearly ten thousand a box, but that was all the way back in 2020.


    That could definitely be considered a precious traditional Chinese medicine, right?


    Much more profitable than selling vegetables!!!


    Not to mention that it could be cultivated outside of the Spirit Field, which would save quite a lot of space.


    He could plant it in his own yard; that way, he could later grow some Lingzhi, Ginseng, and the like in the Spirit Field.


    Not delaying either task, this was truly great!


    Thinking of this, Gu Chen’s eyes lit up.


    He hurriedly sat up, “Yes, yes, yes! Who says I don’t want it!”


    System: “The seeds have been placed in the Spirit Field, please check them by yourself.”


    After speaking, there was no more sound.


    Gu Chen immediately got up from the bed, locked the door, and entered the Spirit Field in a flash.


    He was somewhat impatient to see the Cordyceps that could be cultivated outside.


    The atmosphere in the Spirit Field was still clear and warm, the air slightly moist.


    Next to the Spiritual Spring, a conspicuous spot held a packet of seeds.


    A bulging little burlap sack.


    Gu went over, bent down to pick up the sack from the ground, and pocketed it before turning his head to look towards the Spirit Field.


    In just six hours, the goji berries that had all fallen off had already grown fresh fruits.


    They were still bright red and transparent, each and every one plump.


    Obediently lying on the verdant leaves and branches.


    They looked vibrant with life.


    However, since time had not yet passed, these goji berries looked slightly inferior to those sold.


    Gu Chen casually grabbed a basket and started squatting down to pack the goji berries handful by handful.


    It wasn’t to prepare for tomorrow, but he felt that Ji Pianran also needed the berries to strengthen her body.


    Money could be earned slowly, but his wife and children truly could not be neglected.


    He filled a whole basket and then thought for a moment and poured out half of it.


    It wasn’t that he grudged it but he worried that Ji Pianran, afraid of spending money, would refuse to eat it.


    With half a basket, there would be less, and naturally, the price would also be more affordable.


    Cajoling her, she would surely accept it.


    Thinking so, Gu Chen carried the basket out of the Spirit Field.


    By this time, Ji Pianran had already finished bathing Sugar, and the little girl had just gotten dressed. Her hair was still wet, and she dashed into the yard.


    Ji Pianran was startled and hurriedly followed behind.


    While running, she worriedly said, “Sugar! Don’t run around, be careful of catching a cold!”


    It was winter after all, and the kid was always so reckless.


    What would they do if she fell ill?


    Sugar didn’t care; she wasn’t afraid of getting sick!


    It had been a while since she had seen her dad!


    She wanted to find her dad!


    Sugar, with small steps, ran to Gu Chen’s door,


    Seeing it locked, she stretched out her hand and banged hard on the door a few times.


    “Daddy, it’s Sugar, it’s Sugar!”


    Hearing his daughter’s voice, Gu Chen quickly put down the goji berries, turned around, and went to open the door.


    As soon as he opened the door, Sugar threw herself into his arms.


    “Daddy, Sugar missed you~”


    The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet.


    Gu Chen looked at the wet hair on her small head and frowned slightly.


    “You came out with your hair still wet?”


    “Exactly, this child has become more and more attached to you. She can’t bear not seeing you for even a moment,” Ji Pianran said as she entered Gu Chen’s room,


    holding a towel in her hand.


    Rural households were poor, and no one used hair dryers; in the summer, hair would just dry in the natural breeze, and in the winter, well, you’d first towel it off before sitting by the stove to let it dry.


    Gu Chen quickly reached out to take the towel from Ji Pianran’s hands.


    Then he bent down and patiently helped his daughter dry her hair.


    “Tangtang, you can’t do this in the future, okay? Running back like this might get you sick.”


    At these words, Tangtang’s chubby little face puffed up, and her expression was the epitome of grievance.


    “But Tangtang missed Daddy!”


    Her daddy would buy her formula, cook delicious food, and even take her to sell vegetables!


    Her daddy was the most awesome daddy in the world!


    Seeing the little girl’s pitiful look, Gu Chen surrendered in an instant.


    He put Tangtang on the bed, his eyes full of indulgence, “Daddy missed Tangtang too, Daddy likes Tangtang the most.”


    The bamboo basket filled with goji berries was placed diagonally across from the bed.


    The little girl sat on the bed and immediately spotted the bamboo basket.


    She leaned forward with curiosity, her round black eyes peering over as she asked in her baby voice, “Daddy, what’s that?”


    When Tangtang asked, Ji Pianran also subconsciously glanced in that direction.


    A bamboo basket in Gu Chen’s room?


    Seeing Ji Pianran also looking over, Gu Chen walked towards the bamboo basket with a smile.


    He then grabbed a handful of goji berries and handed them to Tangtang, “This, it’s something tasty. Try it, Tangtang, and see if it’s good.”


    Hearing it was tasty,


    Tangtang didn’t hesitate to pop one into her mouth.


    The goji berries were sweet, with a faint tartness that didn’t cloy.


    Tangtang smacked her lips, her black eyes suddenly lighting up.


    “Yummy! Daddy, it’s so yummy!”


    Hearing his daughter say it was good, Gu Chen laughed heartily, “If it’s good, then that’s right.”


    After speaking, he brought half a basket of goji berries in front of Ji Pianran.


    “This is the fresh goji berries I found in the market today; they taste exceptionally good. These are the leftovers I didn’t sell, so I brought them back. You try some too.”


    Ji Pianran glanced into the basket.


    Indeed, they were fresh goji berries.


    She was amazed.


    “You actually found fresh goji berries? No wonder you made so much money.”


    Gu Chen smiled, “If you want to make money, you’ve got to sell what others don’t. As the saying goes, ‘rarity makes a thing precious,’ right? If everyone sold the same thing, I definitely wouldn’t make any money.”


    Actually, these words were just offhanded remarks; after all, he couldn’t say that it was all thanks to Spirit Field.


    But what Gu Chen didn’t realize was that his simple statement had quietly shifted Ji Pianran’s perception of him.


    Over these days, Ji Pianran had seen him leaving early and returning late, cooking and washing pots.


    She had always thought that he truly repented, and that’s why he could make so much money.


    Probably because Gu Chen was willing to endure hardships.


    Was not afraid to lose face.


    But then, from Gu Chen’s statement, Ji Pianran realized that she had been wrong.


    It was not just that Gu Chen was willing to endure hardships; the key was that his mind was also sharp.


    Regarding the vegetable selling business, everyone has been to a market, and knows, it’s nothing more than what one family has, another family also has, and if one family doesn’t have it, another will, basically in a larger market, there could be a dozen families selling the same kind of vegetables.


    Despite also selling vegetables, Gu Chen actually understood the principle that rarity makes a thing precious.


    He knew that to make money, one must sell what others don’t have.


    This was truly rare.


    Thinking this, Ji Pianran’s lips curved into a slight smile, her eyes glinting like scattered starlight as she looked at Gu Chen.


    Indeed, she hadn’t misjudged him back then!


    It must be said, Ji Pianran was naturally a beauty.


    Even in such a harsh environment, it didn’t obscure her loveliness one bit.


    She was like a snow lotus blooming on ice.


    Unearthly in her beauty.


    Gu Chen blinked; his wife was so beautiful.


    Especially when she smiled at him.


    He teased, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m very handsome?”
