Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 314: Let’s Do an Experiment

Everyone looked at Wen Shi, hoping he would persuade her.

Unexpectedly, he was even more straightforward than Yi Chichi, "Don’t look at me, at our house, Chichi is the boss."

"The recipe is quite valuable."

He Yunsong reminded them again, and Lin Qiu Ping and the others nodded in agreement.

Wen Shi understood and replied, "Oil and smoke damage the skin, I can’t let my wife become a cook."

Dealing with the kitchen all day isn’t friendly to girls.

His wife is only suited to sit in front of an embroidery frame, delicately threading needles with her slender fingers, her eyebrows serene, the atmosphere peaceful, the scene as beautiful as a painting.

Seeing that they wanted to speak, he angrily said, "Don’t come to me when you can’t get your braised dishes; we won’t make it a second time."

This was a bit of a harsh threat.

If they hadn’t tasted the delicious braised dishes, it wouldn’t matter.

The key was they had tasted it, and it was hard to forget.

After exchanging glances, the group nodded in unison, "Alright, give us the recipe, and when it’s braised, we’ll invite you to eat."

This was agreeable.

So, Yi Chichi took out paper and pen and swiftly wrote down the braised dishes recipe for them.

"If you like it spicy, add more chili peppers."

"If you want it sweet and spicy, add rock sugar."

"For red braise, you can use red yeast rice..."

She detailed the features of various flavors of braised dishes, leaving nothing unsaid.

Then she emphasized, "I like the spicy flavor, whether fragrant or numbing spicy is fine, just one thing, if anyone makes sweet-spicy, don’t send it to me."

That taste was really unacceptable.

"That can’t be done."

No one was interested in sweet-spicy flavors either; mainly they hadn’t tried it, and couldn’t imagine what it would taste like.

Emotionally, they believed it shouldn’t taste bad.

Rationally, however, they declined to try it.

So, a group promised dutifully, only spicy flavors would be made and shared with her.

Yi Chichi was satisfied with this.

Wen Shi rudely said, "When it’s braised, remember to share it with my family, or we’ll take your pot away."

This bandit-style attitude was simply speechless.

Lin Qiu Ping rolled his eyes and said grumpily, "Only your sister-in-law can tolerate you."

Before he could argue, Lin jumped straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, can you solve Xiao Kang’s issue?"

Xiao Kang, who was quietly eating and listening to talk, immediately sat upright upon hearing Lin Qiu Ping, eagerly looking at her, full of expectation.

Yi Chichi didn’t rush to answer Lin Qiu Ping but asked Xiao Kang, "Have you been inside a submarine’s rest cabin?"

"Yes, I have."

Mentioning this, his face turned pale, "A few minutes inside and I start feeling scared, it’s uncontrollable, my body gradually loses sensation, and I can’t breathe..."

He elaborated on his condition, with Wen Shi and the others supplementing. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Yi Chichi listened attentively, and when they finished, she asked, "How long after leaving the rest cabin do you return to normal?"

"About ten minutes or so."

Wen Shi gave a definitive answer.

Yi Chichi sighed, Xiao Kang’s situation was quite severe.

"Is he the only one like this?"

"No, there are several."

These were promising candidates for the submarine department they eyed, yet they all had more or less issues.

"Not just our unit, other units have it too."

She nodded in understanding, "Usually, how do you deal with this situation?"

"Make them practice until they are no longer afraid; if they can’t, they must change positions."

Goodness, this is typical systematic desensitization and exposure therapy. Theoretically, systematic desensitization is one of the safest and most effective treatments for claustrophobia.

The premise is that a professional doctor is present to set the minimum and maximum thresholds of fear and guide the patient’s senses to accept and adapt to the fear until the symptoms completely disappear.

However, given the current medical environment, professional doctors in psychology in our country are almost nonexistent.

There are psychiatry doctors who act as psychologists, but their professional qualifications are questionable.

She rubbed her fingers and, under their hopeful gazes, said, "I have two methods that can effectively solve Xiao Kang’s problem."

"What methods?"

They asked in chorus.

Lin Qiu Ping and the others were so excited they stood up; submarine soldiers have high requirements in every aspect, needing a good physique and strong psychological quality.

They must endure loneliness.

Bear with solitude and remain calm in the dark for extended periods.

Selecting a suitable submarine soldier is not easy because those who can be submariners can usually pilot tanks or be trained as fighter pilots.

Once such a military source appears, every unit fights over them.

Xiao Kang and his peers were those they worked hard to recruit, hoping to put them into use after a period of training, but they got stuck at the crucial point.

This was really frustrating.

They tried many methods, all to no avail. Now that Yi Chichi claimed to have a solution, it was immensely good news for them.

"Hypnosis, or systematic desensitization."

The former is simple and straightforward, directly altering Xiao Kang’s memory of confined spaces, but the downside is that if Xiao Kang someday breaks through the hypnotherapist’s ban, claustrophobia will reappear.

Also, because the fear threshold might be too high, it could lead to increased fear levels.

The latter method of treatment is slower but gentler; however, it takes a longer time to see results, requiring patience and waiting.

So, she explained the pros and cons of the two methods in detail and added, "There’s also a situation where only desensitization or exposure therapy can be used."

"What situation?"

"Xiao Kang’s brain lacks imagination."

Not joking, such people do exist.

For example, using words or images, some people can imagine their ideal world in their minds.

And also, some people can be guided by words to imagine another world.

However, there’s a type of person who cannot unlock the fantasy world in their minds, whether through words, drawings, or language.

"Do you have an imagination?"

She looked at Xiao Kang, and Wen Shi and the others looked over.

Xiao Kang, under observation, blushed and stammered nervously, "I, I don’t know."

Yi Chichi responded, "Then let’s do an experiment."

"Okay."

With too many people, the chaos wasn’t conducive for experimenting.

Upon her request, Ji Jian and others voluntarily took their leave.

Wen Shi and the others quickly tidied up the table.

Then, the guys eagerly waited for Yi Chichi to demonstrate her skills.

Unexpectedly, Yi Chichi started chatting casually with Xiao Kang.

The casual conversation skillfully began with Xiao Kang’s parents, directly drawing out the young man’s homesickness.

In just a few words, Xiao Kang’s eyes reddened, tears welling up.

Lin Qiu Ping and the rest, ... felt that Xiao Yi seemed a bit unreliable.

Qi Zhiyuan nudged him, and when he looked over, whispered, "Will it work?"

"Absolutely will."

Having seen Yi Chichi hypnotize Uncle Yaozi, Wen Shi whispered confidently.
