Chapter 23

【Mutter the Saitu website three times, do you remember? If you don't remember, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It's best to share it on Facebook.】

When it rained, Mo and the others were all stunned, looking at each other. They had never heard of such acupuncture techniques.

Every time the silver needles trembled and slowed down, Zhao Xinyu would quickly flick the tail of the silver needle, causing it to emit a sound like a musical composition.

A few minutes later, Liu Ruoxi let out a slight snore, which made Mo and the others shake their heads even more. In their imagination, such acupuncture could still make one fall asleep, indicating that Liu Ruoxi had a very calm mind.

After Du Mengnan fetched the Chinese medicine, Zhao Xinyu soaked it in space water. He checked the time and removed the silver needles from Liu Ruoxi's body.

"Zhao Xinyu, help me check."

Zhao Xinyu did not refuse and finished diagnosing the others a few minutes later. Unlike Liu Ruoxi, they had minor issues but nothing that affected their health.

After Liu Ruoxi took the medicine prepared by Zhao Xinyu, Zhao Xinyu looked at Mo, "It's done, you can wash off the ointment now."

When Mo washed off the ointment from her face, Du Mengnan and the others were surprised. Although the scarred area showed no significant change, the rest of her skin became even whiter and more tender, even more so than after makeup.

Du Mengnan turned to look at Zhao Xinyu, her eyes sparkling, "Zhao Xinyu, does your ointment also have a beautifying effect?"

Zhao Xinyu was taken aback, "Removing scars involves restoring damaged skin, so it should have a beautifying effect as well."

"Quick, make some for me too."

Zhao Xinyu looked at Du Mengnan speechlessly, "You don't have any scars, why do you need it?"

"Look at how good Mo's skin is. If we have the ointment you prepared, we won't need to use cosmetics anymore."

Zhao Xinyu's face darkened. He hadn't expected that the formula his grandfather gave him would end up being seen as a cosmetic by Du Mengnan and the others.

"The ointment has a strong herbal smell. I'll think of a way to remove it."

"Thanks, if you need anything, I'll buy it."

"I haven't decided yet. I'll go out and buy what I need. If you really want to use the ointment as a cosmetic, the quality of the herbs must be good."

Du Mengnan and the others were so excited by Zhao Xinyu's words that they couldn't express it. After thanking Zhao Xinyu repeatedly, they left together.

After Du Mengnan and the others left, Zhao Xinyu rode his bike out. When he returned, he had a cart full of packages.

That evening, after eating dinner, Zhao Xinyu saw off Han Tianliang and the others, then went into the space. He wanted to check on the fish in the large water pit and also to mix the ointment.

Over the course of the night, Zhao Xinyu wasted countless herbs, but the ointment he mixed still had a faint herbal smell, which didn't meet his expectations.

For three consecutive days, Zhao Xinyu studied the ointment. By the early morning of the fourth day, Zhao Xinyu came out of the space with a small bowl. Although he was exhausted, his eyes were full of excitement.

The ointment in the bowl no longer had a herbal smell but instead had a faint, pleasant fragrance. This fragrance was a mix of different scents, and Zhao Xinyu couldn't describe it precisely.

In the morning, Du Mengnan and the others came over as usual. As soon as they entered, they were slightly surprised by the faint, pleasant fragrance. The fragrance was unique, and just the scent alone made them feel refreshed.

"What's that smell?" Du Mengnan asked Zhao Xinyu, who was preparing to perform acupuncture on Liu Ruoxi.

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly and pointed to the cabinet, "I've mixed the ointment. Take a look and let me know if it's not good, I'll do more research."

Du Mengnan's eyes lit up. They saw a small bowl on the cabinet, containing a pale golden cream. The unique fragrance they had just smelled was emanating from the bowl.

"This fragrance is so nice," Du Mengnan said, taking a deep breath, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Try it, wait about ten minutes."

Du Mengnan nodded, found a basin, and washed her face. She then applied the cream to her face like a facial cleanser, waited for about ten minutes, and washed it off with water.

"How does it feel?" Du Mengnan didn't look in the mirror but asked Mo and the others.

A series of exclamations came from Mo and the others. They saw that Du Mengnan's face was even whiter and more tender than after makeup, almost as if it could drip with water.

"How is it?"

"Look for yourself." As Mo spoke, she picked up the basin.

"Mo, you can't use this ointment for now. It has been diluted, so the effect is not strong."

Mo pouted and put down the basin. On the other side, Du Mengnan saw her current appearance in the mirror, her eyes full of joy.

"Zhao Xinyu, I'll give you three thousand for each batch. Make one for each of us."

Liu Ruoxi, lying on the bed, giggled, "Mengmeng, why don't you partner with Zhao Xinyu to start a factory?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "This ointment is all handmade, and the process is very complicated. It can't be mass-produced. I can only make a few batches for you."

"Then it's settled. We'll use this ointment from now on."

"The name 'ointment' sounds too plain. Let's give it a name."

By the time Zhao Xinyu finished diagnosing Mo and Liu Ruoxi, the radiant group had already named the ointment "Dazzling Beauty."

Zhao Xinyu didn't care about the name. In his mind, he was just helping Du Mengnan and the others mix the ointment.

He didn't expect that this name would become the most popular product in the global cosmetics market a few years later, and it would be in high demand with no supply.

As Du Mengnan and the others were leaving, Du Mengnan suddenly said, "Zhao Xinyu, you should install a surveillance system. When we came over, there was a large pile of garbage at your door, and there were big words sprayed on the door. With surveillance, you can report it and accuse them of intimidation."

Zhao Xinyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded subconsciously. He realized that he couldn't take care of such a large yard by himself. Zhao Shiming and the others had been causing trouble for him. If he had enough evidence, he could make them suffer.

Money makes things easier, and by that afternoon, cameras were installed around the large yard and even the Luo River, which was starting to fill with water. Not only that, but cameras were also installed on the other side where the pickled radishes were.

The villagers were surprised by the installation of cameras in the large yard, as many of them didn't even know what cameras were. Zhao Shiming, who was drinking with a few hooligans, also heard that Zhao Xinyu had installed cameras. His frustration was indescribable.

He was a troublemaker and could act recklessly in the village, but he had suffered a setback at Zhao Xinyu's place and was ridiculed by the villagers, which became a source of pain for him. So he had been secretly causing trouble to make Zhao Xinyu uncomfortable.

However, he knew that with surveillance, they would have to avoid the cameras when causing trouble. If Zhao Xinyu reported it, he really didn't want to go to that place.

"Did you hear? That little brat installed cameras, making it harder for us to act."

"Brother Zhao, that large yard was left by Old Xu, who was a five-guaranteed household in the village. According to the rules, after Old Xu died, the yard should belong to the village. If the village can reclaim the yard, you can get it, and we can grow vegetables, making a fortune."

Zhao Shiming's eyes lit up, and he finished the remaining half cup of wine, "Let's go find Han Tianliang. He must give us an answer today."

"Brother Zhao, Han Tianliang has received many benefits from that kid. He won't agree. Let's find others to pressure him."

Zhao Xinyu, who was preparing to cook at home, also heard that Zhao Shiming was causing trouble in the village, demanding that the village reclaim the large yard.

However, he wasn't worried. Han Tianliang had told him that the large yard was Xu Ning's ancestral property. Although Xu Ning was a five-guaranteed household, the village had no right to reclaim the yard. Zhao Xinyu also had Xu Ning's will, which the village officials knew about. Therefore, no matter how much trouble Zhao Shiming and the others caused, they couldn't get the property.

Through this incident, Zhao Xinyu realized that as long as Zhao Shiming was in the village, he would continue to find ways to cause trouble.
