503 Fish Filled with Spiritual Energy
Seeing Su Xiaolu go out, Su Xiaoling felt relieved.
Daniu and Erniu’s marriages were already completed. Soon, Second Brother would get married, and then she would get married. It seemed like there were still a few months left, but a few months would pass in the blink of an eye.
Su Xiaolu went to the Imperial Hospital.
When Su Xiaolu arrived at the Imperial Hospital, Qin Shoucheng’s brows relaxed. He pulled Su Xiaolu to solve his problem.
Su Xiaolu easily solved his problem. Sometimes, a cold was not just a cold. It might be because it was too warm or too humid. If one medicine was used wrongly, it would not get better.
Qin Shoucheng stroked his beard. “Thank you, Miss Su.”
Su Xiaolu yawned and reached out her hand. “Take my pulse and see how it is.”
Qin Shoucheng smiled and reached out to take Su Xiaolu’s pulse. He gradually frowned and looked at Su Xiaolu before saying, “Miss Su, your pulse is so strong. You feel like a young man in his prime. It doesn’t feel like a young lady’s pulse at all. To conclude, you’re very healthy. Too healthy.”
“Your face is rosy and you look great.”
As Qin Shoucheng spoke, he was a little envious. Su Xiaolu’s body emitted a strong vitality. This vitality appeared on her pulse, making him very envious. He was old and his pulse was starting to weaken.
Su Xiaolu looked worried. “Are there any other abnormalities? I’ve had a fever several times recently.”
There was no cause of her fever these few times. It was very strange.
Qin Shoucheng shook his head. “I can’t see anything abnormal. Apart from being strong, there’s nothing else.”
Su Xiaolu was a divine doctor herself. If there was poison or other abnormalities, she would definitely be able to tell. If she couldn’t tell, he couldn’t either.
Su Xiaolu left the palace helplessly. After some thought, she went to the Wisdom King’s Residence again.
Doctor Wu’s medical skills were also not bad. Su Xiaolu still let him take her pulse.
Doctor Wu retracted his hand and looked at Su Xiaolu. “Miss Su, you’re very healthy. There’s nothing wrong with your body.”
Su Xiaolu waved her hand with a confused expression. She felt that something was wrong. She was just about to grasp it when it slipped away.
Su Xiaolu came out and sat in the pavilion. She held her chin in her hands and pondered.
When Zhou Zhi came over, Su Xiaolu did not notice.
“Xiaolu, what’s wrong?”
Zhou Zhi asked softly.
Su Xiaolu sighed. “It’s nothing. It’s just a small problem. I can solve it.”
“Forget it. I won’t think about it if I can’t figure it out. I’ll go home first.”
Su Xiaolu stood up and decided not to worry about it.
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Xiaolu, go home after dinner. I’ve obtained some good stuff recently. I asked the kitchen to make it just now. Let’s try it together.”
Su Xiaolu waved her hand. “No thanks, I don’t want to eat it.”
“Xiaolu, trust me. You’ll definitely like it. And I guarantee that you’ve never eaten it before.”
Zhou Zhi said gently with a smile.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi suspiciously and said, “Alright, let me see what I haven’t eaten before.”
Su Xiaolu stayed behind. Zhou Zhi brought some books over and the two of them read quietly.
Su Xiaolu read them with relish. These books were all newly collected by Zhou Zhi, and the stories were also new. Su Xiaolu realized that Zhou Zhi liked reading about fantasy and all kinds of special monsters.
She had to admit that she enjoyed reading them too.
When the food was served, Su Xiaolu smelled a very fragrant smell.
She was indeed stunned. She watched as Zhou Zhi used a jade spoon to scoop a bowl of something that looked like tender tofu for her. It was still steaming. It looked like tofu, but it didn’t seem like it.
Su Xiaolu could still see the delicate flesh texture.
Su Xiaolu took a bite. The first thing she felt was that it was fresh and delicious.
Then, she felt a very familiar spiritual energy. That’s right, it was spiritual energy.
When she realized this, Su Xiaolu fell silent.
She looked at Zhou Zhi, who smiled. Seeing that she was not eating anymore, he was a little puzzled. “What’s wrong with Xiaolu? Is it not good?”
Su Xiaolu shook her head and asked, “It’s delicious. May I know where you got this?”
“Of course.”
Zhou Zhi smiled gently and then said, “These fishermen fished it out of the sea. It’s completely white and it’s a species that we’ve never seen before. It tastes very delicious no matter how it’s cooked. Even the bones are soft. It’s very delicious after being fried with oil.”
“This is steamed slowly by fire. This kind of fish doesn’t need any seasoning or fancy cooking. It just needs to be boiled or steamed.”
Zhou Zhi explained to Su Xiaolu in a gentle voice.
“From the sea? Which sea?”
Su Xiaolu was even more puzzled. This fish had spiritual energy, just like the spiritual spring water in her space. However, she could only drink the spiritual spring water from her space, but this fish was caught from the sea. Su Xiaolu felt that she was about to touch the answer, but she was still a little short.
“Qinghai, Wuzhou.”
Zhou Zhi answered Su Xiaolu’s question gently.
Su Xiaolu ate the fish and said to Zhou Zhi, “You should eat more too. This fish is quite delicious. This kind of fish has no bones and the meat is fresh and delicious. This kind of fish is full of treasures and is very nourishing. Eating more of it is very good for your health.”
Fish with spiritual energy were very nourishing. It was good for Zhou Zhi to eat more.
Zhou Zhi nodded.
The two of them ate together. After eating, Su Xiaolu thought for a moment and asked, “Is this fish easy to catch?”
Zhou Zhi shook his head. “It’s not easy to catch. I heard that it only appears in the deep sea and there are very few of them. It’s not common.”
Because it was very rare, the price of a fish was already as high as hundreds of taels. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was ginseng from the sea.
Su Xiaolu was sent home by Jin Liu.
On the way, Su Xiaolu was also distracted.
When they got off the carriage, Jin Liu handed her a bag and said, “Miss Su, this is a small token of my master’s appreciation.”
Su Xiaolu took it. She smelled a faint spiritual energy and frowned. “He should eat more.”
Su Xiaolu felt a little strange that Zhou Zhi would give her such a precious thing.
Jin Liu smiled and said, “We don’t know what’s on Master’s mind. We’re only following orders. Goodbye, Miss Su.”
With that, Jin Liu turned the carriage around and returned to the residence to report.
Su Xiaolu carried the paper bag back to the residence. She went to the kitchen and took out the fish. It was a lustrous white fish that was more than three catties. It was not slender, but rather short and very fat. It was round like a cabbage. Su Xiaolu cut it open with a knife, revealing white and tender muscles. The fish bones were like white jade.
Su Xiaolu really did not know what kind of fish this was. It took many days to travel from Wuzhou, Qinghai, to the capital. It had to be preserved by ice, but this fish did not have any fishy smell.
