"It's not counterfeit, but the ingredient list is no good. The main ingredient is talcum powder, so it's best not to use it on newborn babies. There's a certain risk of triggering respiratory infections," Ye Chen replied.
For new parents, even if the risk was only 0.000000001, as long as it could be avoided, they would never let their babies take that risk.
"What? It's actually something that dangerous? Hurry, throw it away..."
As if she had seen something filthy, Su Ningwei immediately looked disgusted and told Ye Chen to quickly throw away the unopened container of talcum powder.
"Mm, then we won't use talcum powder for now. Tonight, I'll see if there's any with pine pollen and cornstarch as the main ingredients, then we can apply that instead." Ye Chen nodded and tossed the container into the trash.
Su Ningwei nodded. "Okay. Honestly, what's wrong with manufacturers these days? Can't they make products that actually put people at ease? It's my first time being a mother, and I have no experience. It feels like there are traps everywhere. It'd be great if someone could test and select reliable products so we could just buy them directly."
Hearing Su Ningwei say that, Ye Chen could not help thinking of some review accounts on Earth Star. Wasn't that exactly what they did?
But later, those review accounts had all gone down the path of selling products through livestreams.
As for whether the products were good and whether they had forgotten their original intentions, Ye Chen did not know.
After all, those review accounts had invested so much manpower and resources, so naturally they were doing it to monetize traffic.
Without profit as motivation, almost no one was willing to do such things.
But Ye Chen was different.
With the system by his side, Ye Chen was not short of money at all.
In any case, anything his babies used had to be carefully selected before he could feel at ease letting them use it.
Since he was already putting in the effort, he might as well do some good.
He could set up an account called "Orange Dad Selection" and post the test results online as well.
That way, other parents could avoid bad products too, and their babies would suffer a little less.
After giving it some thought, Ye Chen replied, "Actually, we can do this ourselves. Our babies need these things too, after all."
They had the financial means, and Su Ningwei had public credibility.
If they wanted to do it, it would simply be a natural course of events.
Su Ningwei nodded. "I think it could work, but I don't really understand this stuff. Do you? What if we choose something and its quality turns out to be substandard?"
"I don't know that much either. If we really do it, we'll definitely need professionals for the actual testing. You just focus on recovering after childbirth and taking care of the babies. Leave selecting products to me," Ye Chen replied with a smile.
"Okay. I trust you to handle things." As Su Ningwei spoke, she put a diaper on Dabao.
This was Su Ningwei's first time putting a diaper on a baby, so she was a little clumsy.
Unlike Ye Chen, who had done an excellent job even on his first try.
Only after doing it herself did Su Ningwei realize just how incredibly capable Ye Chen was with his hands. He was amazing.
"A-Chen, is this how I'm supposed to put it on?"
Su Ningwei asked Ye Chen uncertainly. She always felt that there was something wrong with the diaper she had put on.
"It's pretty good. You just need to pull up both sides properly, or it'll leak." After taking a look, Ye Chen reached out and adjusted the diaper around the baby's thighs.
"Hubby, you're amazing!" Su Ningwei said with a look of admiration.
Ye Chen pointed at his cheek and said with a smile, "Give me something tangible."
Su Ningwei stood on tiptoe and readily kissed both of Ye Chen's cheeks.
Fully satisfied, Ye Chen dressed Dabao.
Then he went off without complaint to bathe Erbao and Xiaobao.
Sometimes, happiness really was this simple.
o( ̄▽ ̄)o
Very soon, Ye Chen had finished bathing Erbao and Xiaobao as well.
All three babies smelled sweet and clean, and they were especially lovable.
Looking at the three adorable babies lying side by side in the little bed, sucking on their tiny hands,
Ye Chen really wanted to kiss their chubby cheeks, but he was afraid of passing germs to them, so he could only kiss their adorable little feet.
[ Ding, congratulations on completing the hidden task of bathing the babies for the first time. ] [ Congratulations on unlocking the TCM Ghost Talent skill. The golden needles you carry with you have been placed in your pants pocket. Please check them. ]
Other people only had to bathe one baby at a time.
Ye Chen had to bathe three at once.
Getting only two rewards was not too much, right?
TCM Ghost Talent?
Had he finally unlocked the essential medical skill for someone with cheats?
Ye Chen was thrilled.
Great. His father Ye Dashan's leg could finally be treated.
And his mother Li Juan's chronic cold-leg pain could finally be cured too.
The last person Ye Chen had heard being called a TCM Ghost Talent was Ni Haixia of Earth Star, one of the most controversial figures online.
TCM Ghost Talent Ni Haixia was skilled in medicine, the I Ching, yin and yang, and feng shui. His medical methods were unconventional, and he was especially adept at using unusual prescriptions to treat all kinds of difficult internal diseases and cancer.
For example, Sun Simiao's Ghost Needle Thirteen Points, as well as Ni Haixia's Heavenly Records and Human Records, contained many things that overturned most people's understanding.
This led quite a few people to believe that Ni Haixia was merely telling fortunes and talking about "sorcery."
However, regardless of the comments, it was undeniable that Ni Haixia mastered many fields of study and was highly knowledgeable in both traditional culture and Chinese medicine.
Some Chinese medical treatments were simply difficult to explain through science.
As Ye Chen was thinking about this, a vast amount of Chinese medical knowledge and needling techniques flooded into his mind...
The sheer volume of information
made Ye Chen dizzy and disoriented. He staggered and nearly lost his footing.
If his body had not already been modified by the system, Ye Chen figured that his vision would have gone black and he would have fainted on the spot.
Su Ningwei, who was standing beside Ye Chen, was startled and hurriedly helped him sit down on the large bed nearby.
Su Ningwei asked worriedly, "A-Chen, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm just a little dizzy. Maybe I bent over for too long and stood up too quickly," Ye Chen said after sitting down and taking a moment to recover.
Su Ningwei looked heartbroken. "I think you're just too tired. You've been taking care of us from morning to night. Auntie Li should be awake by now, so hurry and lie down for a while. I'll get you a cup of sugar water, and I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded and lay down on the bed.
There was no helping it. The amount of knowledge was too immense, and the impact was too overwhelming. He needed to lie down and recover for a while.
When Su Ningwei saw Ye Chen lie down, she hurried to the kitchen and poured him a cup of warm water with sugar.
Only after drinking the sugar water did Ye Chen slowly begin to digest the knowledge in his mind.
It had to be said that Chinese medicine was truly vast and profound. There was simply too much to learn.
Among it all, the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles and Yang-Returning Nine Needles were even more filled with strange and mysterious elements.
Yet one had to admit that there were many things in this world that science could not explain.
In ancient times, the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles were forbidden needles, specifically used to punish evil illnesses, especially corpses suddenly reviving and the dead coming back to life.
Because it involved karma, those without great merit were not permitted to use it lightly.
It was said that even enlightened masters in ancient times generally used only twelve needles.
