For a past promise, Xiao Chen makes a powerful return, becoming the personal bodyguard to a beautiful CEO. He sweeps aside all enemies, forging his own legend as a true king!
He climbs to the...
After discussing for a while, Yao Qihuang suddenly thought of something and looked up.
When he saw Uncle Liu still watering the plants, he felt helpless and said, "Why are you still watering the plants? This is a great opportunity to learn. Come and listen."
"Yes, Yao Lao."
Liu Bo was startled, then nodded and walked over.
However, he did not sit down, but stood beside Yao Qihuang like a disciple.
"Don't stand, sit down. While Xiao Chen is here, if you have any medical questions or confusions, ask them immediately."
Yao Qihuang said to Liu Bo.
"Listening to his talk is better than reading medical books for ten years."
"Haha, Yao Lao, you are exaggerating."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Uncle Liu.
"Uncle Liu, let's discuss and learn together."
"good."
Uncle Liu nodded and sat down, a little reserved.
Obviously, he was not used to such occasions.
Xiao Chen looked at Liu Bo. He was afraid that he himself didn't even know that he was the disciple that Yao Lao had the highest hopes for.
It’s okay for a person to be a little stupid, as long as he is willing to put in effort.
The Liu Bo in front of him reminded him of a saying - just work hard, and God will take care of the rest.
Although Xiao Chen did not believe in fate or God, he thought that this was true. If he did not even work hard, how could he expect any opportunities?
Even if you are given the opportunity, can you seize it?
Next, the discussion among three people turned into a discussion among four people.
At the beginning, Uncle Liu just listened without saying anything, but he was soon influenced by the atmosphere and started to join in.
He threw out seven or eight questions at once, and Xiao Chen answered them one by one.
Yao Qihuang was watching from the side, looking at Xiao Chen, then at Liu Bo, and smiling.
Just as he had just said to Xiao Chen, he valued Xiao Chen the most, but Xiao Chen was not interested in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, he did his best for Liu Bo, but he did not show it too much.
Hua Qingfeng obviously also knew what Yao Qihuang was thinking. Looking at his smile, she had an idea in her mind. It seemed that this Old Liu... was about to come out of retirement!
He has followed Yao Lao for many years, like an assistant, but more like the steward of Yao Mansion, and he also regards himself as such.
One day, he will leave the Medicine House, and his name as the Holy Hand will spread throughout the world.
Hua Qingfeng felt that this day would not be too far away.
After some discussion, it was almost noon.
"Oh, I haven't set up the kitchen yet to prepare for lunch."
Suddenly, Uncle Liu woke up and stood up quickly.
"Well, Yao Lao, Qing Feng, Mr. Xiao, you guys continue to discuss, I'll go make the arrangements."
"Haha, I'll go."
Hua Qingfeng stood up.
"My good son-in-law is here, how can I let the chef cook? I have to cook for him myself."
After hearing Hua Qingfeng's words, Xiao Chen's smile froze slightly. Cooking by himself?
Could it be fried poisonous insects or something?
Thinking of those poisonous insects, he felt a little uncomfortable all over.
It’s not that I’m afraid, but just thinking about the poisonous insects with bared fangs and claws, each one looks so hideous, it’s a little hard to eat.
But Hua Qingfeng still asked him whether it tasted good or not.
What can he say?
Of course it’s delicious.
Then...if it tastes good, eat more!
"Why, Xiao Chen, don't you like the food I cook?"
Hua Qingfeng noticed Xiao Chen's expression and asked.
"No, no, I'm just worried that you'll get tired."
Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"Haha, you are my son-in-law, and you brought me a witch doctor's book. I have to reward you, even if I am a little tired."
Hua Qingfeng smiled.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go make some food... to replenish you."
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at Hua Qingfeng's receding back and his heart trembled.
Supplement?
Anything that is considered to be a tonic is not a good thing!
"Please sit down and let's continue."
Yao Qihuang said to Liu Bo.
"Yes, Yao Lao."
Uncle Liu nodded and sat down.
More than half an hour later, Hua Qingfeng sent someone over to inform that lunch was ready.
"Let's go."
Yao Qihuang stood up with a smile on his face.
"This morning has been really fulfilling...Xiao Chen, it would be great if you could stay in the capital. We could discuss medicine from time to time."
"Haha, Yao Lao, when Longshan gets better, you can move over there."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"There is a large area there. You can grow herbs and other things there, and you can be with Yixuan."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Yao Qihuang did not refuse, but did not agree either.
"Master Yao, Mr. Xiao, you guys go eat, I'll finish watering here."
Liu Bo said.
"Aren't you going to eat together?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No, you guys go ahead."
Uncle Liu shook his head.
"Xiao Chen, let's go."
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"Bohan, don't just water the plants. While you're at it, think about what we just said."
"Yes, Yao Lao."
Liu Bo nodded.
"Master Yao, what is Uncle Liu's name?"
After leaving the medicine garden, Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"Liu Bohan."
Yao Qihuang replied.
"Liu Bohan? Liu Bo?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Haha, you call him Uncle Liu, just like Yixuan, right? When that girl was just learning to speak, she couldn't pronounce his full name, so she just called him 'Uncle Liu', and she has been calling him that for so many years."
Yao Qihuang smiled.
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. So this is how this 'Liu Bo' came about?
He had thought before that Uncle Liu was not in his seventies or eighties, so it was fine to call him 'Uncle', but why did he call him Uncle Liu?
At the same time, he was moved. Uncle Liu has been in Yaofu for so many years?
This has been the same for decades, and not everyone can have this kind of mentality.
No wonder Yao Lao has high hopes for him.
"When I think he's capable, I'll formally accept him as my apprentice."
Yao Qihuang thought of something and spoke slowly.
"I have mentioned the matter of accepting a disciple before, but he said that he is stupid and cannot be my disciple, so as not to embarrass me... and he can only be considered half a disciple of mine."
Yao Qihuang felt helpless when he said this.
"Haha, this shows what kind of character he has."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, it's a pity that you are not interested in this. Otherwise, the two of you would be able to carry forward Chinese medicine."
Yao Qihuang looked at Xiao Chen, feeling a little sorry.
"Master Yao, please don't embarrass me."
Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was he being dragged into this matter again?
“I just do what I can.”
"Um."
Yao Qihuang nodded.
"What you are doing within your power can also change the field of traditional Chinese medicine!"
As they were talking, they arrived at the restaurant, where Hua Qingfeng was already waiting.
Xiao Chen immediately glanced across the table and was startled when he saw that there were no poisonous insects baring their fangs and claws. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s good!
"Hehe, what are you looking for?"
Hua Qingfeng asked with a smile.
"Do you want to try my specialty?"
"Well, I really miss you a little bit."
Xiao Chen coughed dryly. What else could he say?
"Well, just wait, you won't be disappointed."
Hua Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Um?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. What did this mean?
After Yao Qihuang and Xiao Chen sat down, Hua Qingfeng went to fetch a casserole, opened the lid, and it was steaming.
Xiao Chen took a look and asked, "Is this stew?"
But when he saw what was in the casserole, his eyelids twitched violently.
Is that a snake?
Scorpion?
Centipede?
What is that round thing?
spider?
Xiao Chen's throat slid up and down a few times, and then he sighed in his heart, nevermind, I still couldn't dodge it!
"This is the Ten Poison Soup, and it's also the Ten All-Nourish Soup. I never make it for ordinary people."
Hua Qingfeng said this as she served out three bowls.
"Come, try it."
"Yeah, thank you."
Xiao Chen looked at the spider in the bowl, which was twice as big as a coin, and swallowed again.
Especially the spider, it stared at him with its two bright black eyes, making him feel creepy.
Normally, when he saw it, he wouldn't feel anything at all and would just kill it. But when he put it in the bowl, the feeling was suddenly different.
"Try it, it tastes pretty good."
Yao Qihuang smiled and took a sip.
Seeing Yao Qihuang drink it, Xiao Chen forced a smile and drank it too.
Mm, it tastes really good.
However, it does look a bit creepy.
He really wanted to see the casserole and what else was there.
Hua Qingfeng said it was the "Ten Poison Soup", so it should contain ten kinds of poisons.
However, he held back because he was afraid that after reading it, he really wouldn't be able to drink anymore.
Just drink it, close your eyes, it's a piece of cake!
"Don't just drink the soup, eat something... Hehe, it seems you like it very much. Come, I'll serve you another bowl."
Hua Qingfeng saw Xiao Chen put down the bowl and finished drinking, and said with a smile.
“…”
Xiao Chen wanted to cry. I just wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Don’t put it in front of me to scare me. How come there is another bowl!
But he couldn't refuse, so he could only watch Hua Qingfeng serve him another bowl.
He decided not to drink any more. If he finished it all and had to drink another bowl, who would be able to bear it?
For the meal, Xiao Chen drank three bowls of soup and ate... Never mind, I can’t think about it. If I think about it, I’ll feel a little carsick.
"Xiao Chen, I'll make you something delicious tonight."
Hua Qingfeng said to Xiao Chen.
"Ah, well, I have a date with a friend tonight, and I have to leave in the afternoon."
Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"I just came to see Yao Lao and you. I won't eat here tonight."
"We're leaving in the afternoon? Okay, how many days will you stay in the capital?"
Hua Qingfeng was a little disappointed, and then asked.
"It's okay, just come over, I'll make you some soup."
"I...Okay, I'll come over when I have time."
Xiao Chen nodded and muttered to himself, I won’t come here just for your soup!
"Haha, let's go back to the medicine garden."
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"You've finally come here, let's talk."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and followed Yao Qihuang to the medicine garden.
"Um... Yao Lao, I'm really sorry for trouble you."
On the way, Xiao Chen said to Yao Qihuang.
"Hehe, are you talking about the Ten Poison Soup?"
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"Those poisonous insects, aside from being ugly, are actually very good for your health."
"I know, but... I can't bring myself to say it."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
"Are there spiders that big in the capital? Spiders that big should mostly be found in the south, right?"
"They were all raised by Qingfeng. If you were still here tonight, I think she would be able to make you a dish called 'Poisonous Insects Buddha Jumping Over the Wall'. There are 20 to 30 kinds of poisonous insects."
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"It's too late at noon, but it's possible at night."
"Poisonous insects jumping over the wall? Twenty or thirty kinds?"
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, and he felt lucky that he said he was leaving, otherwise... he would have died!
