Chapter 40: Supplement
Du Ruo was very familiar with the feeling just now. It was because he stood up too quickly, which led to insufficient blood supply and caused dizziness. This situation happened to Du Ruo frequently before, but he never had that feeling again since he started practicing martial arts.
Du Ruo had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm them. After all, after practicing martial arts, he could clearly feel that his energy and spirit were getting better, except... he seemed to be a little hungry recently.
Thinking about this, Du Ruo had already arrived at the front desk of the B&B.
"Boss, the cleaning lady has arrived. When do you think we can clean and change the sheets?"
When Yang Ling saw Du Ruo, she immediately started to ask.
"Well, I'll go get something now, you can call auntie and come over now."
Du Ruo came here just to talk to Yang Ling about this. After that, Du Ruo was about to go to the B&B to pack up her things. However, when she was about to go out, she saw an electronic scale at the door, so she paused.
"This was taken from my home yesterday when a resident wanted to test whether she had lost weight after climbing the mountain. She will have to test it again when she comes back in the evening, so I put it aside for now."
Yang Ling saw Du Ruo stop by the scale and thought he was curious, so she explained.
"Well, is your scale accurate? I haven't weighed myself in a long time. Let me check it."
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he prepared to take off his shoes and step on it.
“Very accurate.”
Yang Ling replied, but Du Ruo frowned even deeper as he looked at the scale, while frantically recalling the knowledge in his mind.
"131"
The number appeared in front of Du Ruo, which meant that Du Ruo weighed only 131 kilograms at that time.
Du Ruo clearly remembered that before he returned to his hometown, he weighed about 140 kilograms. Logically speaking, with the exercise during this period, plus eating two or three times the amount of food as an ordinary person every day, Du Ruo's weight should not have decreased at this time.
Of course, Du Ruo combined the situation in the yard before and had a general understanding of his current situation.
Du Ruo went to the room and packed up his things. There weren't many things, so it was easy to pack them up. After putting them in the newly rented house, Du Ruo drove out of the village.
Du Ruo understood that he must be extremely weak now. Practicing martial arts requires a lot of nutritious food to replenish the body. It was just that he thought that adding some food could make up for the consumption during practice.
However, it was only when he saw his weight that he finally understood. Gaining some energy can indeed make up for the loss of the body after practicing martial arts, but at the same time, the energy needed to gain some energy does not come out of thin air.
Originally, the body could barely maintain this balance, but in the past few days, the "spiritual" attribute did not need to be increased, so Du Ruo added all the attributes he gained every day to the "essence", which increased the demands on the body, so this problem of Du Ruo was exposed.
"I am really stupid. I only noticed such a simple problem now. Fortunately, I found it early."
After driving out of the town, Du Ruo went straight to the vegetable market here. Du Ruo's current condition is "Qi and blood deficiency", which means that the quality of Qi and blood is high, but the quantity is small.
The high quality can be seen from the attribute points, while the small quantity is reflected in the weight loss and sudden dizziness and lack of blood supply to the head.
The most effective way to solve this problem is not to take tonic medicine, but to eat beef. Eating large amounts of beef is the best and fastest way.
When taking tonic medicine, if it is red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, etc., they are too mild and not as effective as beef. If you take strong medicines such as ginseng, they may be too strong and counterproductive. And Du Ruo is not at that level yet. All medicines are poisonous. It is better not to take such strong medicines on a normal basis.
Well, the truth is that the medicinal materials market is a mixed bag, and Du Ruo doesn't have any reliable channels. She can't afford the expensive ones, and the cheap ones have no effect. It's better for her to eat a lot of meat directly for tonic. Anyway, with Du Ruo's current physical condition, it's no problem for her to digest more meat.
So Du Ruo went directly to the market and bought nearly two hundred kilograms of beef, some other ingredients, and various seasonings before driving back.
The newly rented house had all the kitchenware, but no seasoning, and the refrigerator was empty. Du Ruo had been thinking about when he could make something for himself, but he didn't expect that he would have to do it so soon. After returning from the town, Du Ruo cut about 30 kilograms of beef and stewed it directly in a big pot.
Soon the newly moved yard was filled with the aroma of meat. Du Ruo felt his stomach churning and his whole body was extremely hungry for food when he smelled the meat.
"Boss Du, it smells so good. I didn't expect Boss Du has such a skill."
The aroma drifted to the second floor of the tavern. Xiang Yuanyuan stood on the balcony, looking down, as if wanting to see what Du Ruo was stewing.
"Yuanyuan, bring some good wine later. It should be something that replenishes your blood. Strong tonic is best."
When Du Ruo saw Xiang Yuanyuan, he immediately thought of this rich woman. She was an expert at making medicinal liquor, and she must have some tonic liquor. Instead of buying it himself, it was more cost-effective to get it for free from the rich woman.
"Okay, I have some tonic wine, but I'm afraid Boss Du won't be able to handle it. Haha, wait, I'll go get the wine now."
Xiang Yuanyuan is very generous. Ever since the incident with Li Qiyao, she has liked Du Ruo even better and has regarded Du Ruo as a real friend. She doesn't care much about drinking among friends.
Seeing that Xiang Yuanyuan was about to get some wine, Du Ruo quickly prepared some cold dishes and then seasoned the big pot of beef.
After a while, Xiang Yuanyuan came to the yard carrying two jars of wine. When she arrived, she saw that Du Ruo was still busy, so she started looking around.
When Du Ruo placed the cold dishes on the table in the yard, Yang Chenguang also came over with some fruits and tea in his hands.
"You guys pour the wine, I'll bring the beef."
Du Ruo asked the two to sit down and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with an iron basin the size of a washbasin.
"Oh my god, you're going to prepare a week's worth of food at once?"
When Yang Chenguang saw Du Ruo’s pot of beef, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"We've only just arrived. There's still one pot in the pot. I packed a bowl in the refrigerator. You can take some back to your uncle and aunt later."
"Okay, come to think of it, I haven't tasted your cooking yet. I didn't expect it. I won't be polite."
After Yang Chenguang finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of beef and took a bite.
"Well, that's good. I didn't expect you to have this skill. It's so delicious to eat meat like this!"
Before Yang Chenguang had completely swallowed the meat in his mouth, he gave Du Ruo a thumbs up.
"Come on, let's drink. I'll drink Shaodaozi. You guys drink this Deer Antler and Shouwu Wine first. This is the tonic wine you asked for, Boss Du. This wine is the real deal. It replenishes Qi and blood and strengthens the bones and muscles. If you feel hot after drinking the wine, you can try other wines."
Xiang Yuanyuan had already filled the glass while she was talking.
"Come on, do it~~"
The three of them raised their glasses. Xiang Yuanyuan drank half of the glass in one gulp, Yang Chenguang just took a sip, and Du Ruo raised his hand and drank almost two taels of medicinal wine in one gulp.
As soon as the wine entered his stomach, Du Ruo felt a surge of air rising from his dantian, a similar feeling to when he added some alcohol.
