Noon.
After spending the entire morning idle, Ye Jianguo ate a meal in the canteen before leaving the factory and heading toward a nearby Pigeon Market.
He wanted to buy some seeds, chicks, and ducklings.
Of course.
Before buying these things, he had to find a way to earn some money.
He had already thought of a way to make money.
That was to sell the corn grown in his mysterious space at the Pigeon Market.
Very soon.
Ye Jianguo arrived at the Pigeon Market.
“Staff members” were patrolling all the entrances to the Pigeon Market.
This was to prevent surprise inspections by the relevant departments.
Ye Jianguo walked inside and found many people browsing. All kinds of shouts, calls, and haggling echoed without end.
After walking around once, he gained a general understanding of the market.
Afterward.
He picked up several burlap sacks and went to an unoccupied corner.
With a thought, he filled all three burlap sacks with corn.
Every ear of corn was extremely large.
Moreover.
The kernels were plump and full.
Even raw, they gave off a faint fragrance.
They looked exceptionally good.
Ye Jianguo dragged the three sacks of corn back to the bustling market, found an empty spot, and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, a First Grandmother looked at the corn and asked, “Young man, how much are you asking per pound for this corn?”
Ye Jianguo replied, “Five cents per ear. No ration coupons needed, and the price is nonnegotiable.”
Since he did not have a scale, he sold it by the ear.
Five cents per ear seemed rather expensive.
However.
This corn was very large, and each ear weighed a full half-pound.
In other words.
It was ten cents per pound of corn, with no ration coupon required. That was absolutely cheap.
After hearing Ye Jianguo’s words, the First Grandmother frowned slightly and said, “Young man, isn’t your corn a little too expensive?”
Ye Jianguo replied, “First Grandmother, my corn really isn’t expensive. Each ear weighs a full five ounces, which works out to ten cents per pound. It’s absolutely cheap.”
After hearing Ye Jianguo’s words, the First Grandmother squatted down, picked up an ear of corn, and weighed it in her hand.
Her heart trembled.
This corn was not light.
Moreover.
This corn was actually so fragrant.
Even raw, it had a faint fragrance.
She could not help swallowing.
Thus.
She picked out four ears.
Ye Jianguo received twenty cents, and a smile appeared on his face.
His first sale had been completed.
He did not know whether it was because Ye Jianguo’s corn was so cheap or because its fragrance had drawn people in.
Over the next hour, all three large sacks of Ye Jianguo’s corn were sold out.
He earned a total of nine yuan, thirty-five cents.
At last, his pockets were no longer empty.
Afterward.
Ye Jianguo bought some rice seeds, wheat seeds, tomato seeds, flowering cabbage seeds, peanut seeds, and so on.
That was not all.
He soon bought several chicks as well.
Unfortunately, there were no ducklings.
However.
Having chicks was enough for him to give it a try.
After buying these things, he once again went to an unoccupied corner.
With a thought.
Everything in his hands vanished.
It all appeared in the warehouse of the mysterious space.
With a thought from Ye Jianguo, five chicks appeared in the chicken coop.
The five chicks visibly grew at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.
One minute later.
The five chicks had grown into three hens and two roosters.
Moreover.
The three hens had actually laid three hundred eggs.
This harvest stunned Ye Jianguo.
This was incredibly powerful.
Afterward.
He once again moved his thoughts, wanting to grow some more rice.
The rice seeds were scattered over the cultivated land.
However.
There was no change in the cultivated land.
Seeing this.
Ye Jianguo suddenly understood.
He knew that he had used up his daily chance to cultivate crops rapidly.
He would have to wait until it refreshed tomorrow before he could use it again.
As for this.
Ye Jianguo was not disappointed.
Instead, he became even more expectant.
Afterward.
Ye Jianguo bought several pounds of peanut oil, several pounds of rice, and some vegetables at the Pigeon Market. After placing these things in the mysterious space, he returned to the Steel Rolling Mill.
He still had to work in the afternoon.
The reason he bought these things was entirely because he had no way to grow so many things at once.
He had to buy some supplies for emergencies.
He went to work in the afternoon.
Ye Jianguo remained very idle.
However.
At three in the afternoon, the door to the medical room was finally knocked on.
“Doctor Ye, are you there?”
A weak voice sounded from outside the door.
“I am. Just push the door open and come in,” Ye Jianguo answered.
From that voice, he knew that he finally had work to do.
For some inexplicable reason, he was a little excited.
After all.
He had been far too idle.
The person who pushed open the door was an exceptionally beautiful young woman.
Her hair was tied into two ponytails.
She was dressed very fashionably as well.
From his memories.
Ye Jianguo knew that the beautifully dressed and fashionable young woman before him was the factory flower Yu Haitang of the Steel Rolling Mill.
It had to be said.
The woman before him was truly beautiful.
There was a hint of allure between her brows.
Only.
Her face was somewhat pale at the moment, and she was clutching her stomach.
Ye Jianguo had obtained the Medical Sage’s inheritance.
Naturally, he had mastered inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry, and palpation to perfection.
Therefore.
He could tell at a glance that Yu Haitang was suffering from menstrual pain.
Yu Haitang clutched her stomach as she walked over and sat down opposite Ye Jianguo. Her face pale, she said, “Doctor Ye, my stomach hurts terribly. Please prescribe some painkillers for me.”
Ye Jianguo looked at her for a moment before saying, “Ordinarily, with your constitution, you shouldn’t experience this kind of pain. Did you eat something cold?”
Yu Haitang’s pale face filled with surprise as she looked at Ye Jianguo.
She smiled bitterly and nodded. “Doctor Ye, how did you know?”
“When I went out to eat at noon, I happened to see someone selling popsicles.”
“Although the weather is cold right now, I just happen to like them.”
“But I didn’t expect my stomach to start feeling uncomfortable in the afternoon after eating one.”
“Now the pain is so bad that I can’t stand it.”
“So, Doctor Ye, please prescribe some painkillers for me.”
Ye Jianguo said, “All right. I’ll prescribe some painkillers for you.”
“However, I still advise you not to eat cold foods during this special period.”
“They are bad for your body.”
“If this continues for a long time, it may become the norm in the future. When that happens, you’ll suffer from pain.”
Yu Haitang’s face paled.
She was genuinely frightened.
You see.
Normally, she never experienced pain during her menstrual period.
Therefore.
She had never paid much attention to it.
But.
Ye Jianguo was now saying that if she did not take care of herself, this might become the norm in the future.
That truly frightened her.
She hurriedly said, “Doctor Ye, I’ll be careful from now on.”
“I won’t recklessly eat cold foods anymore.”
Ye Jianguo nodded, then prescribed her some painkillers.
After receiving the painkillers, Yu Haitang left impatiently.
She had to go back and take the painkillers.
As for this.
Ye Jianguo naturally did not stop her.
Ye Jianguo had originally thought this would be his only bit of work that day.
However.
At five in the afternoon, the door to his office was pushed open once again.
A young man wearing a Zhongshan suit rushed inside.
He looked at Ye Jianguo anxiously and said, “Doctor Ye, Factory Director Yang suddenly became extremely dizzy. Please go take a look.”
