Chapter 559: Good Stuff

Wei Cheng admired Su Binglan mainly regarding her knowledge of medical skills. He had only heard rumors about acupuncture but had never seen it in person.

He felt an indescribable excitement in his heart at the thought of being able to see acupuncture for himself. He possessed more than adequate medical skills with his studies from hundreds of schools.

Moreover, he had happened across an ancient medical book in the past that seemed to be from the Legendary Medicine Valley. However, he was unsure about its details.

That ancient book also provided him with much inspiration. He also studied medical skills, making him better than those in the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

Of course, what Wei Cheng yearned to see most was acupuncture. Now that the opportunity was right before him, he was undoubtedly ecstatic.

“You’ll have to ask my wife for permission,” said Luo Jin’an, “l won’t make decisions for her and won’t force her to do anything based on my opinion.”

That was his attitude toward Su Binglan. He wholeheartedly respected all her thoughts and did not want her to suffer any grievances.

Wei Cheng understood Luo Jin’an’s intentions. “I understand, Master. I’ll ask

Madam for her permission later.”

He knew his master well, as the latter respected his subordinates’ thoughts when interacting with them.

‘Master is such an excellent person.’

Wei Cheng was about to say something else to Luo Jin’an when he smelled a delectable fragrance. “It smells fantastic.”

Even after living at the border for a long time, he had never smelled such a

fragrance. It was the fragrance of fresh homemade food. He could not return to his senses momentarily.

After a while, he said, “Is someone in the village cooking?”

Sometimes, Wei Cheng would walk past the village and smell the food everyone cooked when he was hungry. Even if the villagers used the most common ingredients to make stir-fried vegetables, he would enjoy its fragrance.

After all, the people there could only buy very few things there. They were not good at cooking, and everyone’s food was simple. They thought they would be fine if they had something to fill their stomachs.

Occasionally, Wei Cheng would get some wild animals and consider cooking them for his master. However, Luo Jin’an was weak and could not eat anything.

Still, his cooking would never smell this good, no matter how well he made it. The smell wafting through the air this time was incredibly appetizing. Wei Cheng was not hungry initially, but he was after smelling the food.

Luo Jin’an also smelled something delicious and smiled gently. He knew it was his wife’s cooking. He missed her food after staying at the border for a while.

In other words, he missed the warmth of being by Su Binglan’s side in Su Teng Village. Luo Jin’an resembled a foreigner, missing the food in his hometown. He also missed everyone else in Su Teng Village.

Wei Cheng was puzzled. He felt the fragrance was getting increasingly potent in such a short while.

Growl, growl!

His stomach grumbled as he covered his mouth awkwardly. “M-Master, that was…”

“I’m hungry too,” Luo Jin’an said, “We can have lunch soon.” “Hmm?” Wei Cheng did not quite catch his master’s words.

Luo Jin’an said, “That should be the smell of Bings cooking.”

“How can we allow Madam to cook? We should be the ones cooking for her.” While Wei Cheng spoke to his master, Su Binglan had just finished cooking and was about to bring it to her husband’s room.

She saw Wei Cheng and said, “The food is ready, Doctor Wei. Go and eat with Lin Zheng and the others.”

Wei Cheng heard Su Binglan’s words but could not return to his senses yet. He was in an utter daze.

‘The food is ready? Did Madam really cook for us?’

Wei Cheng involuntarily lowered his head to look at the tray Su Binglan held. His eyes widened when he saw the bowl of pork rib soup and egg wraps. The food on the tray looked delicious, and he felt he had not eaten any delicacies in a long while.

Su Binglan observed his expression and could not help but laugh as she said, “l made a lot more just like these. Go and join the rest to eat.”

Fortunately, she brought many things to make different dishes for every meal. She primarily wanted to give her husband a good meal and rest, especially since she noticed he had lost a lot of weight.

Wei Cheng did not wait for Su Binglan to talk anymore and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Su Binglan saw Blue Two and Blue Three guarding the courtyard. She said, ‘You two should eat, too.”

“Yes, Master.” The duo had grown accustomed to listening to Su Binglan’s orders.

Su Binglan looked at Wei Ying and said, “You, too. Go and eat.”

Wei Ying said respectfully, “Madam, I’m here to protect my master.”

His martial arts were exceptional, and he wanted to stay by his master’s side to protect him. Hence, he never wanted to leave. Although two more guards stood at the door, Wei Ying dared not let his guard down for his master’s safety.

Su Binglan reassured Wei Ying, “Don’t worry. This place is impenetrable for the time being. Besides, you guys aren’t eating anywhere besides the kitchen. It won’t affect your master’s safety.”

Under her persuasion, Wei Ying and the other two guards finally went to eat. The trio felt hungry when they sat at the dining table near the stove and saw the people eating there.

Wei Cheng did not care about anything else as he and Lin Zheng took the lead in picking up the food to eat. They drank the soup with their spoons while eating the egg wraps, savoring the delicious food.

“Madam’s cooking is perfect. It’s delicious.” Wei Cheng was so excited that he was about to cry.

Lin Zheng could not help but add, “Of course, my master’s cooking is unparalleled. Everything she makes is delicious, so everyone is in for a treat.”

He continued while eating, “My master made plenty of egg wraps and soup. Everyone, eat up quickly.”

Wei Ying also picked up his utensils to eat. After sipping the soup, he felt it tasted exceptional.

“What’s this?” Wei Cheng bit into some tofu and felt it was soft and smooth. He had never eaten anything like it before. It was fragrant and tasted good, not requiring much effort to bite. The tofu would melt in his mouth with the slightest bite.

‘People with terrible teeth could eat this with ease.’

Wei Cheng was ecstatic when he realized that. He ate another piece and felt a warmth in his stomach. Since he was a doctor, he knew some people had weaker stomachs and could not digest food well. However, eating tofu would be suitable for those people.

‘This is good stuff!’

Lin Zheng noticed how interested everyone was in the food and quickly sat up. He explained the dishes enthusiastically, “What you just ate was tofu. My master was the one who developed it. It’s delicious and nutritious, too.

“There are many ways to use tofu, but every dish you make with them will be delicious. Master also told me tofu is easy to digest. There are also many variations of tofu products, like stinky tofu.”

Lin Zheng could ramble on about tofu. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. That was because his master had developed such a thing, and he was his master’s disciple, feeling a sense of pride in his heart..
