2049 Dinner Together (2)“Thank you.” Nan Hua nodded and tasted the dishes.
Since she has been trained by Traveling Doctor Liu, she was able to recognize most of the ingredient used for the food. And some of them also used some type of herbs and so on as condiments.
This way, the food would taste much better.
Tasting the food made by these people, their taste was not that bad. There were even some herbs that was quite good for one’s health being mixed together.
“Yours is really bitter, Ming Shi Hong.” Pan Lei Yin nearly spat out the food in his mouth. He couldn’t believe that Ming Shi Hong would put such bitter food on the table.
Ye Shu Ken took a bite and his face also scrunched. He looked at Ming Shi Hong speechlessly. Did this what he meant by preparing the dish carefully? It was still very bitter as if they were drinking medicine and not eating food.
“Don’t worry so much, it’s good.” Ming Shi Hong laughed loudly. “You’re all men but you still complain about this little bitterness.”
He clicked his tongue as if he was dissatisfied with them.
Both Pan Lei Yin and Ye Shu Ken were speechless.
Even if they were men, it didn’t mean that they liked to eat something bitter, got it? Bland would be much better than bitter.
“It’s not that bad,” Nan Hua said slowly as she ate the food in front of her. Even if the taste was a bit bitter for Ming Shi Hong’s side, it was not that bad in Nan Hua’s opinion. Moreover, she could see that this cooking technique preserved the herbs’ state and would be pretty useful to maintain health.
For her, this was something that not many people knew.
She only knew more because Traveling Doctor Liu taught her some ways to make the effect of the herbs can be preserved during the preparation.
“See, even General Jun said that it’s not that bad!” Ming Shi Hong laughed proudly like a child showing off his toy.
Ye Shu Ken and Pan Lei Yin took a deep breath and tacitly chose to ignore Ming Shi Hong. In any case, they didn’t have to interact more with Ming Shi Hong after this period of time has passed.
There was no need for them to care so much about him and his remarks or anything. “It’s a bit bitter,” Long Qian Xing also tasted the food and commented. “But it’s not that bad.”
He was raised by his grandmother who had made various medicines ever since he was young. Besides, Long Qian Xing was not so squeamish that he would complain about the slight bitterness.
This degree of bitterness for food was still bearable.
Looking at how Nan Hua seemed to be appreciative of the food, Long Qian Xing guessed that the food should have some other use aside from the taste.
“It’s really bitter!” Yu Jin complained.
She’s the queen in the mountain, but she would never treat herself badly in terms of food and taste. Naturally, as the queen, Yu Jin’s food has always been the best and their taste was also very good.
It was rare for her to taste anything so bitter like this.
Yu Jin had to say that she really didn’t like this food.
“Eat it,” Nan Hua said calmly.
Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua and wanted to roll her eyes because they didn’t taste that good, but seeing Nan Hua’s look, Yu Jin could only swallow the food and took a few more bites.
Fine, she could eat a bit.
Just a bit, though.
Asking her to eat more would definitely be rejected because Yu Jin had no intention to eat more of this bitter dish.
“Do you like this dish, General Jun?” Ye Shu Ken asked with confusion.
He didn’t think that there was anything special about the dish aside from the fact that the taste was a bit bitter. It was not a very common taste for one to have if he had to say.
“There should be some herbs good for blood circulation,” Nan Hua replied. “It’s not common to be able to preserve the effect of the herbs in the food like this.”
Ming Shi Hong’s eyes lit up when he heard what Nan Hua said. “You’re right, General Jun! This dish is one of the best dishes in my family. It’s usually given to the elders and those with high position because of the effect.”
Nan Hua nodded, not surprised.
Long term eating this dish would help them to regulate their bodies. Those who were already older and weaker would feel much better and in return, it might also prolong their lives.
Even if the effect to prolong one’s life might not be for long, but time is precious. Besides, being able to live while staying healthy would also be a good point because having to take care of one’s body at all times and got sick on the bed for a prolonged period of time would also be very stressful.
“I see.” Long Qian Xing nodded when he heard their conversation.
No wonder Nan Hua seemed to like this dish. Considering that Nan Hua was Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciple, it wouldn’t be strange for her to like dish that was useful for one’s health.
“Can I ask for a bit?” Yu Jin asked. She didn’t like it, but she knew someone who might like it.
“Sure, you can take as much as you want.” Ming Shi Hong laughed out loud.
“Thank you.” Yu Jin smiled and then moved to the other place where Shan Yu was located. She wanted to share this dish with him along with her brother too if he was interested. Though, she doubted it.
Long Qian Xing shook his head and looked at Ming Shi Hong. “It seems that your family is very knowledgeable in plants and herbs?”
“Not really.” Ming Shi Hong shook his head. “But an affiliated family of mine is good at it and we employ them to take care of our meals.”
