55 Medicinal Recipe
Wei Wusheng said in surprise, “Oh, isn’t this the roast duck that has been very popular these past two days? How did you buy it?”
“Why, you already know that there are roast ducks sold, but you’ve never heard of people selling roast ducks?”
Wei Wusheng asked doubtfully, “You’re selling it?”
Jian Qingqing puffed out her chest proudly, “Of course!”
“Yo! Not bad! I didn’t know that you had such skills. Looks like I’ll definitely want to be your friend!”
Wei Wusheng took the roast duck and casually tore off a duck leg. He took a big bite and praised, “Yes! The taste is not bad!”
“Right! My skills are praised by everyone! I can even make fried chicken. If you like it, I’ll make it for you in the future!”
Hearing that, Wei Wusheng was not surprised, but said suspiciously, “Tell me, what do you need from me? You’re so attentive.”
Jian Qingqing chuckled, “You’re really smart and wise!”
Wei Wusheng smiled, and he pretended to laugh, “Stop flattering me, tell me quickly!”
Jian Qingqing was not afraid of him. Instead, she poured tea for him. “Then I’ll be straightforward. Big Brother, do you have any prescription for medicinal herbs? The kind that can strengthen the body and nourish the blood and Qi, I want to buy it back for my family to eat.”
Wei Wusheng did not say anything. He turned the teacup and seemed to be thinking about something.
Jian Qingqing was nervous. Many prescriptions belonged to a doctor’s exclusive formula. She knew that her request was very abrupt, but her grandfather and the others had been working so hard for the past few years, and their bodies were already severely depleted. She wanted to make some Medicinal Cuisine to nourish them.
“Big Brother, from your reaction, I can tell that you have such a prescription. Is it with another doctor? Is it convenient for you to tell me? I can go and talk to him. I can also spend money to buy the prescription.”
“Brother, I beg you, I can buy it no matter how much it costs.”
Wei Wusheng came back to his senses and knocked on her forehead. “What do you mean? I’ll give it to you!”
He was just thinking about which prescription had the best effect, but he did not know that the little girl in front of him had imagined so many things.
Jian Qingqing was in disbelief and her eyes were wide open. She exclaimed, “Really?! Brother, you’re giving it to me? Really? Really?”
Wei Wusheng rolled his eyes at her. “Of course. Who do you think I am? How can I lie to you? I have the Imperial Palace’s secret recipe, do you want it? It’s my Wei Family’s treasured prescription.”
Jian Qingqing was so pleasantly surprised that her words were incoherent. “Really, really, really! Do you really not want money? Then what do you want? As long as I can do it, I can give it to you! If you don’t want anything, I feel a little uneasy!”
This was the first time Wei Wusheng saw her so emotional and felt that it was a little funny. In the past, she always acted like a little adult and spoke with a steady and capable voice.
“If you feel guilty, then in the future, you can send me whatever delicious food you make. For example, roast duck. You can send it to me every day.”
Jian Qingqing felt that Wei Wusheng was a little mysterious. Initially, she thought that he was just a medicine boy from the Ji Shan Hall, but now it seemed that his status was not ordinary.
He gave her the prescription just like that. That little bit of food was nothing to her at all. Now that she was the beneficiary of such a gift, she felt great!
She said loudly, “No problem!”
Wei Wusheng suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, since you’re selling roast duck, then you’re also selling stewed meat, right? I also have a prescription here that can be added into the stew, and the taste can be even better.”
He had often gone to Yunlai Restaurant to eat stewed meat before, and later, when he heard that there was a stall set up, he asked his own servants to buy it back. He also heard about the roast duck, but he did not manage to buy it even after going there twice.
“Really?” Jian Qingqing was even more surprised. She knew that some herbs can be put into stewed meat. It was healthier and tasted better. However, those were the exclusive recipes of others. What she made only used conventional spices.
