The two swiftly prepared meals. The dishes made with fresh herbs were very similar to ordinary green vegetables, but they have a special smell. The smell was quite good. Adding two drops of sesame oil even made it more attractive.
Bai Zhi went upstairs and helped Zhao Lan to get downstairs. She first gave her a bowl of purple orchid soup. Two light pink flowers floated on the soup, which made it fragrant and beautiful.
âWhat is this?â Zhao Lan asked.
Bai Zhi said: âThis is a medicinal diet for nourishing and replenishing energy and blood. Eat it quickly while itâs still warm.â
Zhao Lan nodded and let everyone to sit down and eat, only to find that Zhou Awu was not there, so she asked immediately: âWhere is Awu? Itâs time to eat, why heâs not here?â
Hu Changlin said: âAwu took his elder brother to find Xiaofeng. I think he will come back a bit later.â
Hearing that Zhou Awuâs elder brother came, Zhao Lan put down the bowl in her hand again: âSince there is a guest at home, how can we eat first? Letâs wait and eat when everyone is here.â
Bai Zhi picked up the bowl again and stuffed it into her hand: âWe can wait, but how many days did you not have a good meal? While the soup is hot, please eat it quickly.â
Zhao Lan canât resist, so she drank the soup. The soup looked thick, but itâs very cold and slippery in the mouth. The soup was steaming, so how come itâs cold in the mouth?
âHow does it taste?â Bai Zhi asked.
Zhao Lan didnât make a sound and took another sip. The soup was fragrant. It has a special scent that could make people feel comfortable. The soup was sweet, but the sweetness tastes more special than ordinary sweets. It was not greasy.
âIs this really medicinal food?â Zhao Lan asked.
Bai Zhi nodded her head: âOf course, this is the herbs that grow in our field. I just picked it up, how is it? Is it delicious?â
Zhao Lan said with a smile: âIf you eat this, your disease will be cured. Iâm afraid no one in this world will be afraid of getting sick. Maybe, they will even want to get sick.â
Bai Zhi said: âThis canât cure the disease. The function of the medicinal diet is to adjust the body, not to cure the disease or save the lives of people. If you get sick, you still have to take bitter medicine.â
If you want to cure a disease, itâs not just a matter of using medicines, but also combining medicinal diet. If you combine these two, you might achieve the desired effect.
The herbs she planted were all ordinary body supplements, not precious life-saving medicines.
It can help condition the body, but itâs far from treatment.
Zhao Lan took two more sips and smiled, âIf you can be cured by eating this, Iâm afraid the medicine hall will be forced to close.â
While talking, a hissing sound of a horse sounded outside. Bai Zhi hurriedly went out to greet people, but she only saw Zhou Awu and Zhou Xiaofeng came down from the carriage. Zhou Gang was missing.
Seeing her came back safely, Zhou Xiaofeng was obviously a little excited. He quickly walked over: âYouâre back? How are you?â
Bai Zhi nodded her head: âIâm fine.â Then, she turned her head to Zhou Awu and asked: âHow about Zhou Dage?â
Zhou Awu tied the horse and sighed: âHe left. After seeing Xiaofeng and saw everything was well, he left immediately. He saidââ Zhou Awu stopped and looked at Hu Changlin and Zhao Sue, then lowered his voice: âHe said he couldnât rest assured with Prince Jinâs safety, so he had to go back quickly.â
