Zhang Meng touched his forehead, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I think it tastes good!"
Gu Mingtai touched her face with heartache, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the kitchen with the bowl of noodles.
Zhang Meng stood up and asked from behind him, "Where are you going?"
"Pour it out!"
Zhang Meng heard this and immediately quickened her pace to stop him. "It would be a shame to throw it away. If it's too salty, we can add more water. If it's not cooked enough, we can just put it in the pot and cook it again."
Gu Mingtai pursed his lips and glanced at the bowl of noodles in his hand, his eyes looking as if he were looking at an enemy.
He finally made up his mind to cook a bowl of noodles for his wife, but it turned out like this, and he lost all his face because of the noodles.
"Okay, let's go. I'll teach you how to cook later." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhang Meng directly pulled his hand and ran towards the kitchen.
This time, after Zhang Meng's guidance, this bowl of noodles finally tasted better.
The next day, the young couple had just come down from upstairs. Youhui, his three brothers and sisters, and Tang Gu were sitting in the living room of the Liao family, chatting with old man Liao.
"Hey, why are you four here!" Zhang Meng was surprised to see the four of them appear here.
"Comrade Zhang, Comrade Gu, the four of us are here to thank you."
Youhui stood up immediately when he saw the couple coming down.
When he stood up, the other three stood up behind him.
Gu Mingtai immediately understood the purpose of their visit. Without saying anything, he sat on the sofa on the side and looked at the four of them.
Zhang Meng sat down immediately. Upon hearing You Hui's words, she stared at the four of them in confusion. "What are you four thanking me for? I didn't do you any favors. Maybe you're thanking the wrong person?"
"Comrade Zhang Meng, we all know that the pill you gave us yesterday is extraordinary. Thank you for taking it out and giving it to the four of us to take at that time. Thank you." Youhui said.
Zhang Meng was stunned, and immediately looked at the four of them anxiously and asked, "You didn't tell anyone else about this, did you?"
The four of them immediately shook their heads.
You Hui looked at the other three people around him and assured them, "No, we didn't say anything. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this."
Zhang Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good that you didn't say anything."
Youhui glanced at the two fellow apprentices beside him, and the three of them smiled at the same time.
Youhui immediately took out a wooden box from the side.
"Comrade Zhang, this is a thank-you gift from the three of us brothers and sisters. Although the contents here are not as good as the pill you gave us, we really can't find anything else good, so we can only use this as a thank-you gift. Please don't despise it, and be sure to accept it."
Seeing this, Tang Gu, who was standing by, immediately took out the gift he had prepared. It was also in a wooden box, but Tang Gu's was much bigger.
Zhang Meng looked at the two wooden boxes and said with an embarrassed look, "You don't have to be so polite. You should take this thing back."
You Hui immediately said, "Comrade Zhang, if you don't accept it, it means you think our gift is too shabby, right?"
Zhang Meng was so choked by his words that she couldn't say a word.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take the things in this box."
When the four of them heard her words, they all smiled with satisfaction.
After seeing the four of them off, Zhang Meng opened the two wooden boxes.
The ginseng given by the senior brothers and sisters from Nanhai was quite large, the kind in human shape, and looked to be one or two hundred years old.
"This ginseng is good. It seems to be very difficult to find. It can only be found in places like the South China Sea." When Mr. Liao saw the big ginseng, he stroked his beard and smiled.
As for Tang Gu, he gave her a jade ruyi.
In the next few days, Zhang Meng decided to put aside the things that came from outside and took Grandma Zhang and the others to have a few days of fun and delicious food in Beijing.
It was not until the children were tired of playing and the medicinal materials for alchemy arrived at the Liao family that Zhang Meng began his days of alchemy.
With the previous few attempts at refining the elixir, the next batch of elixir went relatively smoothly.
In a furnace of pills, except for two that were ruined, the rest were of top quality.
Mr. Liao and Monk Jingchen, who had been guarding the door, suddenly used their noses to sniff the medicinal fragrance in the air.
