After a while.
Nian Duan called Ning Chen to eat.
He came to the house that was emitting smoke. Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong sat opposite each other at the wooden table. On top of them was a large porcelain bowl filled with green medicinal porridge. The entire house was filled with the fragrance of herbs.
"It smells so good. Is this porridge made with herbs?”Ning Chen sat down on Duanmu Rong's left and smelled the porridge." And I used thirteen different herbs."”
Nian Duan was surprised." Exactly thirteen. How do you know?"”
"Master, he also helped me to classify those herbs.”Duanmu Rong glanced at Ning Chen before turning to Nian Duan.
"I've only read a medical book and remember the names and appearances of the herbs on it.”Ning Chen said, slightly embarrassed.
After his proficiency in Green Sac Medicine reached 10%, he had memorized the medicinal properties, names, and appearances of all the herbs, not just their appearances and names.
Nian Duan raised his eyebrows and looked at him."Just by remembering the appearance and name, you can accurately distinguish it from the smell? Who are you trying to fool?"
Duanmu Rong's heart trembled as she turned to look at him.
It was over…
Ning Chen immediately felt bad.
Duanmu Rong stared at him and bit her lip. There was a rare hint of anger in her clear eyes.
"So you were lying to me just now."
Ning Chen lowered his head.
"Rong 'er, what happened just now?" Nian Duan looked at her in confusion.”
Duanmu Rong looked at Nian Duan and told her everything that had happened.
After listening, Nian Duan could not help but look at Ning Chen in surprise."Junior Brother Ning, did you really only use a year to memorize all the herbs?”
Ning Chen glanced at Duanmu Rong, then lowered his head and nodded lightly.
"Yes."
Nian Duan was dazed for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly."
"I studied medicine at the age of five and spent a full sixteen years to memorize all the medicinal herbs and pharmacology. Rong 'er studied medicine with me for eight years and only managed to memorize 80% of them. However, she is already a rare genius in the history of my medical field, but you…Sigh, it's really infuriating to compare people.”
She then looked at Duanmu Rong." Rong 'er, you don't have to doubt yourself. I can tell you very clearly that you are very talented in medicine. It's the kind that only appears once in a century."”
At this point, she paused." Don't compare yourself to some monsters. It's good to be down-to-earth.”
Monsters…
Ning Chen smiled bitterly.
Duanmu Rong looked at her with a determined expression and nodded."Master, I'll remember it."
"But you don't have to be angry with Junior Brother Ning Chen. He said that because he didn't want to hurt you.”
Nian Duan looked at her and said.
Duanmu Rong's anger had been reduced by more than half. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that she really shouldn't blame him. After hearing his words, her state of mind was messed up and she doubted her own ability. Later, when she heard his lies, she comforted herself, so when she heard his truth, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"I messed up my own state of mind and even got angry at you.”After thinking it through, Duanmu Rong took a deep breath and stood up. She lowered her head and apologized to Ning Chen."I'm sorry."
Ning Chen hurriedly stood up and waved his hands."It's okay. I shouldn't have lied to you."
"Since you've already said it out loud, then it's fine. Rong 'er, after this incident, you should also understand that there's always someone better than you. In the future, don't be blindly arrogant and don't belittle yourself. Believe in your own ability and study medicine steadily. You will definitely surpass me in the future.”
Nian Duan looked at Duanmu Rong and smiled warmly.
"Master, I understand." Duanmu Rong nodded seriously.
"Alright, hurry up and eat the porridge. It's almost cold. Junior Brother Ning Chen, sit down too.”Nian Duan called out.
The two sat down.
Duanmu Rong picked up Ning Chen's bowl and stood up to scoop a bowl for him under his surprised gaze.
"Thank you." Ning Chen received it with both hands and thanked him.
"Take it as a thank you gift for helping me distribute the herbs just now.”Duanmu Rong said softly.
"Oh."
Ning Chen's entire body felt warm after the medicinal porridge entered his stomach. Just as he was about to scoop another bowl, he realized that Duanmu Rong had already put down the bowl. There was still a lot of medicinal porridge in the porcelain pot.
"You only ate this little?" Ning Chen asked in surprise. The bowls in their hands were all very small, and each bowl only contained three to four mouthfuls.
"I…am full." Duanmu Rong turned her head away from the green medicinal porridge in the porcelain pot. She had been eating medicinal porridge for nearly three months and was really tired of it.
"I'm not full. I'm tired of eating." Nian Duan put down his bowl and shook his head." Sigh, after eating so much Heaven Medicinal Congee, I'm tired of it too, let alone you. I thought that the taste would be different after eating two different herbs today…Tomorrow, let's go down the mountain and eat something else in the city. We'll be so particular today."”
"Really? That's great." Duanmu Rong turned her head and looked at Nian Duan in surprise.
"Yes."
" That…" Ning Chen looked at the two of them and rubbed his head."Actually, my culinary skills are quite good."
The master and disciple turned their heads to look at him with surprised expressions.
An hour later.
The master and disciple looked at the pot of fragrant milky white fish soup on the table with shock written all over their faces.
" It smells so good…" Duanmu Rong closed her eyes and sniffed, her face intoxicated.
Nian Duan picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl. He took a sip despite the heat and his eyes lit up."Delicious."
"If it's good, drink more. I'll make you another grilled fish.”Ning Chen smiled and walked out.
By the time he returned with two grilled fish that had been roasted to a crisp and was emitting an extremely fragrant steam, the bowl of fish soup had already been emptied.
Duanmu Rong rubbed her slightly bulging belly and lay on the table with a blissful expression.
"Master, I haven't had such delicious food in a long time.”
Nian Duan was also lying on the table in an inelegant posture."It's much better than the soup in the restaurant in the city. This is the first time I've tasted such delicious fish soup…Hmm, what is it? It smells so good!" She smelled the aroma of the grilled fish and raised her head immediately. When she saw the steaming, charred fish in Ning Chen's hand, she could not take her eyes off it.
Duanmu Rong raised her head and was also attracted by the grilled fish. She could not help but swallow her saliva.
"Here." Ning Chen handed two grilled fish skewered on wooden sticks to the two of them.
The master and disciple began to feast in front of him. Ning Chen sat at the table, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at the master and disciple with a smile. He thought to himself, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you have to capture her stomach.
The ancients, no, the posterity will not deceive me.
