Chapter 692 Food

Yu Jiao rarely asked for what she wanted. Seeing how persistent she was about these two foods, Liu Ziqi said gently, "Don't worry. It's not too late yet. Just recite the medical books slowly. We'll wait for you at the tea stand next to us for a drink."

Yu Jiao looked at him gratefully and nodded.

Liu Ziqi ordered a pot of tea at the tea stall next door and asked Jianjia to bring a stool to Yu Jiao. Yu Jiao looked at the stall owner in black, said, "I'm starting," and then started to carry the golden box and jade box on her back.

Yu Jiao had seen the Jin Kui Yu Han here, which was very similar to the later "Jinkui Yaolue Fangwen". Both were the miscellaneous disease sections of the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. The Jin Kui Yu Han was the most original version, while the later "Jinkui Yaolue Fangwen" was a version that was widely collected and revised after being lost in wars. When Yu Jiao was reading the Jin Kui Yu Han, she paid special attention to the differences.

She had the foundation from her previous life, so it was not difficult for her to memorize the upper and middle volumes of the Golden Casket and Jade Box.

The stall owner in black listened quietly. After an incense stick of time, his brows hidden under the mask gradually bulged, and his phoenix eyes stared at Yu Jiao with a complicated look.

Could it be that this habit of punctuation was also taught by him? Cheng Ying couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

In recent years, he would make these two kinds of food that his junior sister loved the most during the Lantern Festival, and set up a stall on Chang'an Street to kill time. Although some people wanted to buy them in previous years, the requirement of memorizing medical books was too unreasonable, so he never sold any.

This year seemed to be different, as this little girl gave him surprises at every turn.

Yu Jiao spent half an hour reciting the contents of the two volumes. She felt a little dry in the mouth. She took the cup of tea brought by Jianjia, moistened her throat, and said to the stall owner, "Can I try these two foods now?"

Cheng Ying supported her chin with one hand and nodded slightly.

The shrimp balls in lotus sauce and steamed glutinous rice with pork ribs have been out of the pot for so long that they are actually a little cold.

Yu Jiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of shrimp ball and put it into her mouth. The taste was only about 70% similar to her memory of her senior brother's cooking. The pork ribs and steamed glutinous rice had a greasy smell, perhaps because they were cold.

"Are you a doctor too?" Yu Jiao put down her chopsticks and asked curiously.

Cheng Ying glanced at her, and asked with a complicated look in her eyes, "Why do you like these two kinds of food?"

Yu Jiao looked at the lotus shrimp balls and steamed pork ribs with rice flour on the stall, her almond eyes showing nostalgia, "Someone used to cook these two dishes for me. The taste of your cooking is somewhat similar to his cooking skills."

Cheng Ying frowned. Perhaps because so many years had passed, he could not remember whether he had cooked these two dishes for this little girl when he was in Huairou.

At that time, he changed the little girl's name to "Junior Sister", taught her medical skills, and perhaps he also cooked these two dishes for her.

But the little girl was so scared of him back then that she shouldn't have been fond of the food he cooked.

"Who did you learn your medical skills from?" Cheng Ying asked again.

"When I was young, I had a doctor as my teacher in Huairou." Yu Jiao was used to saying this and she could say it out loud now.

Seeing Liu Ziqi coming over, Cheng Ying stopped talking, stood up to pack up her stall, as if to chase him away.

Yu Jiao only took a bite of both dishes. She asked, "Can I take these away?"

"Since you have memorized the medical book, these two foods are yours. It's up to you." Cheng Ying said casually.

Liu Ziqi glanced at him, called Jianjia to help Yu Jiao take the two kinds of food away, and then they went home.

After Yu Jiao left, Cheng Ying took off her mask, dropped her stall, and left.
