Chapter 793
: Excited
The hangover remedy product has stabilized; now we just need to wait for the results of its subsequent marketing!
However, Xu Bo'an firmly believes that with the efficacy of his hangover remedy, under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be long before the hangover remedy quickly becomes popular, at least in the small city of Dongjiang!
Now that the hangover remedy issue has been resolved, Xu Bo'an can proceed to demonstrate his monkey wine to Zhang Jimin.
Once the monkey wine has passed professional testing, it can be launched back to the market at a suitable time.
Thinking about this, Xu Bo'an was still very happy. Now in the real world, he has begun to promote the products from the bonsai world to the market. The launch of the hangover remedy is only the first step. Next, he will use more things from the bonsai world to gradually occupy the market, and promote his products to the provincial capital, to the metropolis, and further to the international market.
The fact that the seeds planted in the bonsai world yielded a bumper harvest, several times more than the harvest in the real world, indicates that the soil in the bonsai world is more fertile and more suitable for crop growth than the soil in the real world.
In this way, he can plant a large number of seeds in the bonsai world. However, the climate of the few places in the bonsai world that Xu Bo'an knows about now is the same as that of most places in our real world, with four distinct seasons.
If it were spring-like all year round, Xu Bo'an could consider allowing people in the bonsai world to grow crops all year round.
In most parts of our real world, crops can only be harvested once a year due to the distinct four seasons. However, in some areas, the climate is relatively hot throughout the year, with temperatures not fluctuating much, which is very suitable for crop growth. Crops there can be harvested twice a year, and some crops can even be harvested three times a year.
However, crops grown on a single-crop-a-year system are of higher quality and taste better than those grown on a double-crop or triple-crop-a-year system due to their longer growth cycle and longer sunshine hours.
We people in the real world live in a peaceful era with relatively abundant material life. Almost everyone has enough to eat and wear, so we pay more attention to the quality of food and clothing.
However, the bonsai world today is very different from ours. Due to years of war, the national treasury probably doesn't have much food left, let alone ordinary people. Most people are starving. For them, the quality of food is not their primary concern. Their first priority is to fill their stomachs before considering anything else.
As the mountain god grandfather in the bonsai world, Xu Bo'an must consider the big picture if he wants the bonsai world to grow and prosper. The first step is to fill people's stomachs. However, one harvest a year is not enough to meet the current severe food shortage in the bonsai world.
It is said that the Mountain God can summon wind and rain and change the seasons with a wave of his sleeve, but Xu Bo'an has not yet reached that ability. He does not know when or how he will achieve that ability and can only rely on his current abilities to solve the problems he is facing.
Xu Bo'an suddenly thought that in many places in the real world, people can achieve multiple harvests in one year by using greenhouse cultivation. So, in the bonsai world, it should also be possible to increase income through greenhouse cultivation. Now, the little people in the mountain village in the bonsai world have just finished the harvest season. Xu Bo'an has also observed that the little people are not as busy as they were before. So, this period of slack farming time is a good time to popularize knowledge about agricultural planting and greenhouse cultivation to them.
This was the only way Xu Bo'an could think of to increase production. Without hesitation, Xu Bo'an immediately opened various websites to search for ways to learn about agriculture. He spent the whole afternoon searching and found many websites about learning about agriculture and how to store crops after a good harvest.
After tidying it up, Xu Bo'an saved it separately on a storage disk. After doing all this, Xu Bo'an looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he decided to have some food first.
Just then, Xu Bo'an's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed Jiang Yueran. Xu Bo'an was stunned for a moment, but then quickly realized that this Jiang Yueran was the one who bought the Cuigu tribe's clothing at the last auction. She had met with him in person afterward, and during their meeting, he had kindly reminded her that traveling by water within a month would be fatally dangerous. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueran thought he was cursing her and that what Xu Bo'an said was complete nonsense. She regarded Xu Bo'an as a charlatan who only knew how to curse people, and the two parted on bad terms.
Xu Bo'an thought that it had been almost a month since he last met Jiang Yueran. Could it be that what he said had come true?
After a brief moment of thought, Xu Bo'an pressed the answer button, and heard Jiang Yueran's gentle and pleasant voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Xu, hello, this is Jiang Yueran, I don't know if you still remember me!"
Although Xu Bo'an wouldn't take Jiang Yueran's rudeness to heart last time, he still felt a little resentful that she had taken his good intentions for granted.
Xu Bo'an then deliberately said, "Oh? Jiang Yueran? Which Jiang Yueran? I have absolutely no recollection of her! Could this be a scam?"
The moment Jiang Yueran heard Xu Bo'an's words, her first reaction was extreme anger. Putting aside her family background, she was still a person with both good looks and knowledge, and she was also a recognized beauty at school. There were countless boys who wanted to pursue her. For someone as good-looking and highly educated as her, a returnee from overseas, to say that he had no impression of her and even thought she was a fraud was an insult to Jiang Yueran, a beautiful woman who had always been pampered.
But even if Jiang Yueran was angry, she couldn't take it out on Xu Bo'an. After all, when he kindly reminded her not to take water transportation recently, she didn't give him a good look either. So she could consider it even. The key point was that his kind reminder saved her life. So, in all things considered, she had gained something.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueran's anger subsided by more than half. Then, she tried to soften her tone as much as possible and said, "Mr. Xu, you misunderstand. I'm not a fraudster. I'm the person who bought your clothes at the Dongjiang Auction last time. We even had tea together and met at the 'Qitang Chunxun' tea shop. Do you remember?"
Jiang Yueran tried her best to describe the situation as clearly as possible, hoping that Xu Bo'an would remember her!
Xu Bo'an pretended to think for a moment, then slowly said, "We've met before? I just can't remember."
Jiang Yueran was speechless after hearing Xu Bo'an's words. She had already explained everything to Xu Bo'an, but it seemed he still had no idea who she was. He didn't even remember meeting her before. Was she really that unrecognizable that he would completely forget her after less than a month?
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated." Xu Bo'an's words thoroughly ignited Jiang Yueran's spirit of defiance.
I called Xu Bo'an today for two reasons: first, to thank him, and second, to order another batch of clothes made of heavy crepe silk from him!
Jiang Yueran was shocked that Xu Bo'an didn't remember her at all, which made her, a beautiful woman, feel quite embarrassed. Jiang Yueran considered herself to be quite attractive, but Xu Bo'an had no recollection of her. Was it that she wasn't beautiful enough, or that her clothing didn't appeal to Xu Bo'an's taste?
In any case, men will always like young and beautiful faces, devilish figures, and beautiful legs in black stockings—these are undeniable traits.
If Xu Bo'an accepts her invitation, Jiang Yueran is determined to dress herself up nicely, to dress up as the type of woman men like the most, so that Xu Bo'an will never forget her after seeing her this time. She doesn't believe he will forget her next time.
Jiang Yueran had this thought in her heart, but it wasn't that she had fallen in love with Xu Bo'an at first sight when she met him last time, or that she wanted to show off her beauty in front of Xu Bo'an so that he would like her. Absolutely not!
It was Xu Bo'an's repeated explanations that ultimately failed to remind her of who she was, a behavior that deeply hurt a girl's self-esteem and sparked Jiang Yueran's thoughts.
Hearing Xu Bo'an say such a thing, Jiang Yueran went from being speechless to helpless and said directly to Xu Bo'an, "I called you this time to thank you specifically. You remember when we were having tea last time, you reminded me not to take any water transportation for the next month, right? I was the one who was reminded. You don't even remember that, do you?"
After saying that, Jiang Yueran couldn't help but mutter to herself, "If you can't even remember this, then you must either have amnesia or your brain is damaged! In that case, it's not your fault at all!"
Jiang Yueran was muttering in a very low voice. If it were an ordinary person, such a low voice would definitely be inaudible. However, Xu Bo'an was not an ordinary person. His keen hearing allowed him to hear Jiang Yueran's soft mutterings clearly.
Upon hearing Jiang Yueran's mutterings, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but chuckle. He then quickly put on a serious face and said, "Oh, I do recall this matter. I did mention it to someone almost a month ago. I only remember that the other person was a woman, but I can't recall what she looked like at all because I have severe face blindness. Please don't take offense!"
What do you mean by only remembering that the other person was a woman? After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Jiang Yueran felt like she had been hit with a thousand points of damage; it was practically like being killed for her feelings! Did Xu Bo'an completely forget that he had said that, or was it his fault?
If Jiang Yueran had only sought out Xu Bo'an to express her gratitude, given what Xu Bo'an had just said, even if Xu Bo'an had saved her, she would never have spoken to him again. However, Xu Bo'an had something she wanted, and she couldn't refuse to see him!
At this moment, Jiang Yueran, who was actually about to explode with anger, pretended to be completely calm and said in a calm tone, "Okay, Mr. Xu, as long as you remember that this happened, that's fine. I called you today to invite you to dinner as a way of expressing my gratitude! Are you free?"
Xu Bo'an could sense the anger behind Jiang Yueran's tone from her words. In fact, Xu Bo'an only wanted to tease her a little and didn't have much malice towards her.
Since the other party wanted to treat him to a meal to express their gratitude, and since he hadn't eaten yet, Xu Bo'an said directly to Jiang Yueran on the other end of the phone, "Okay, just send me the address in a bit!"
After they finished speaking, the two hung up the phone.
Because of the provocation from Xu Bo'an, Jiang Yueran decided to give herself a makeover. After hanging up the phone, she found a nearby, upscale-looking styling shop and went inside.
Upon entering the store, Jiang Yueran said to the waiter who greeted her, "I want your top stylist to do my hair!"
Seeing that Jiang Yueran seemed to have plenty of money, the waiter didn't say much and went directly to a private room to call for someone.
A moment later, Jiang Yueran saw the waiter and a woman dressed in extremely fashionable and avant-garde clothes come out from the inner room.
The waiter brought the extremely stylish woman to Jiang Yueran and introduced her, "This is our top stylist!"
The stylishly dressed stylist smiled and nodded at Jiang Yueran before greeting her, "Hello, I'm Angie, the stylist here. If you have any needs, please feel free to tell me, and I'll try my best to meet them!"
Hearing the stylist's words, Jiang Yueran realized that since she was in another city and not many people knew her, there was no need to be too tactful in her speech, as that would be a waste of time. After a brief moment of thought, she said directly, "Just transform me into the type of person men admire the most!"
Stylist Anqi was momentarily stunned when she heard Jiang Yueran's words. When she first saw the young and beautiful woman in front of her, dressed in high-end clothes and looking very elegant, she guessed that she was a rich heiress and that she was going to attend some kind of banquet, which is why she hired a professional stylist.
I never expected that this elegant and beautiful woman would ask me to do her hair and makeup to attract men. It's hard not to think the wrong thing when a customer makes such a request so late at night!
At this moment, stylist An Qi completely misunderstood Jiang Yueran's words. Her initial positive impression of Jiang Yueran instantly changed, and she felt that the woman's noble demeanor was entirely feigned, guessing that Jiang Yueran wasn't a woman who did anything serious. (End of Chapter)
