Chapter 583 (Page 1/2)
One chicken and one rabbit were definitely not enough for seven people, so Lin Man steamed a bowl of meat with dried eggplant and dried beans, and also stir-fried some vegetables.
As soon as Huo Qingci entered the room, he smelled a familiar fragrance and asked Lin Man with a smile, "Manman, did you make chicken soup today?"
Lin Man joked, "You have a really good nose. Fresh Gastrodia elata stewed with golden pheasant. You can have an extra bowl of chicken soup later."
"Why did you suddenly think of making chicken soup?"
"Don't the kids have their final exams tomorrow? Let them have some Gastrodia elata stewed with chicken to nourish their brains."
Huo Yixin muttered, "Mom, do you think we're stupid? My brother and I both got 100 on the midterm exam, tied for first place."
"Mom didn't say you were stupid. The chicken soup with Gastrodia elata is for your dad to eat. It can help him nourish his brain." Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Lin Man smiled and changed her words.
Huo Yian silently looked at his father who looked frustrated, smiled and shook his head, "Mom, Gastrodia elata has the effects of calming the wind and stopping shock, calming the liver yang, and dispelling wind and unblocking the meridians.
It can cure infantile convulsions, epilepsy, headache, dizziness, numbness of hands and feet, and rheumatism.
It can also increase the activity of brain neurons, promote the metabolism and blood circulation of brain cells, and enhance cerebral blood flow, thereby effectively improving the symptoms caused by poor blood circulation and improving people's mental state and memory.
Gastrodia elata is a magical herb that does more than just relax muscles and stimulate blood circulation! It also has many other wonderful benefits, including calming the mind, promoting sleep, and anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties.
Oh my, this is such a rare treasure, I have to eat a lot more tonight!"
At this moment, Huo Qingci heard his son talking incessantly about the effects of Gastrodia elata, and he was completely stunned.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "An An, where did you learn all this knowledge about the effects of Gastrodia elata?"

An An replied proudly, "Dad, I've actually been studying that book on Chinese Materia Medica on your bookshelf lately. I've memorized a lot of the common Chinese herbs and their effects!"
After hearing this, Huo Qingci was instantly excited, his eyes sparkling with surprise. He turned to look at his wife, Lin Man, and said excitedly, "Manman, our An'an definitely has an extraordinary talent in medicine!"
Lin Man naturally understood why her husband was so excited at the moment.
Although Huo Qingci didn't say it, she knew that he had always hoped to have a child who was interested in studying medicine like him, so that he would have successors.
Now that he sees An An showing such talent, it would be strange if Huo Qingci is not happy.
Thinking of this, Lin Man couldn't help but smile with relief, and whispered in agreement: "Yes, Qingci, this is good, you finally have someone to take over!"
Huo Yian suddenly decided to say, "Mom, although I am interested in Chinese medicine, it doesn't mean that I want to study medicine when I grow up.
I’m still young now, so I’ll decide what to learn later when I grow up! I still want to get good at painting first.”
Lin Man suddenly thought of a famous saying: "If you persuade someone to study medicine, you will be struck by lightning, but if you persuade someone to study law, you will be cut into pieces." She looked at Huo Qingci with a half-smile, "An An is still young. If she doesn't want to study medicine for the time being, don't persuade her. Studying medicine is very hard."
Huo Qingci opened his mouth to say something, but Huo Yining interrupted, "It's okay to be a little hard studying medicine. You get paid well for saving lives."
Huo Li looked at his great-grandson and asked, "Ningning, do you want to be a military doctor like your father when you grow up?"
Huo Yining shook his head. "I don't want to be a military doctor. I want to be a special forces soldier who can do anything. I want to be able to fly tanks and planes, and fight the enemy in all kinds of harsh environments such as deserts, snowfields, and jungles."
