"Young lady, you seem to have a deep understanding of Chinese medicine. Is there a Chinese physician in your family?" asked Old Mr. Pei in surprise.
When Elder Yi was developing this dish, he especially discussed it with him when they were mixing it with traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, he knew very well what herbs were used in this dish and what effect it would have. He felt that the preparation was perfect.
However, when he heard the young lady add two more ingredients, he felt that it was rather ingenious. She seemed to have made up for all the flaws in the dish.
To be able to point out such details that were almost negligible, the person must have reached the pinnacle of proficiency in medicine.
Moreover, she had only tasted the dish before asking questions.
Huo Yao raised her head and replied unhurriedly. "Nope."
The surprise in Old Mr. Pei's eyes deepened. "But you seem to be well-versed in Chinese medicine."
Huo Yao pursed her lips and smiled. Her expression did not change as she said, "I've read some medical books and only know a little. Don't think that I'm trying to fool you."
Old Mr. Pei stroked his beard and looked at Huo Yao in disbelief. If she could have such an accurate understanding of Chinese medicine after reading some medical books, wouldn't she be a genius among geniuses?
Huo Yao allowed Old Mr. Pei to size her up quietly and obediently.
Old Mr. Yi composed himself and moved his chair closer to Huo Yao. He blinked and said, "Young lady, are you sure you don't want to be my disciple?"
Huo Yao's lips twitched when she saw how cute Old Mr. Yi was acting. Did old men nowadays like to follow the latest trends?
He was always acting cute and coquettish.
"I'm really not interested in cooking," said Huo Yao politely.
"Then, what are you interested in?" Elder Yi took the opportunity to ask. It was as if he would get whatever Elder Yi was interested in.
Before Huo Yao could reply, Old Mr. Pei secretly interrupted. "Are you interested in Chinese medicine?"
Old Mr. Yi's face darkened. He turned to glare at Old Mr. Pei. "Pfft! You old man. Do you think it's appropriate for a young lady to sell medicine for you?"
Old Mr. Pei raised his chin and chuckled. "Do you think it's appropriate for a young lady to work in the kitchen as a cook?"
"F * ck off, f * ck off, my biggest mistake today was calling you here." To actually poach in front of him, this was intolerable!
Huo Yao pressed her forehead when she saw the two old men about to quarrel. She said, "I'm sorry. Apart from studying, I have no interest in cooking or selling medicine."
You don't have to fight like this!
-_-||
Old Mr. Yi sighed silently before he glared at Old Mr. Pei.
It's all that old thing's fault, causing trouble!
Old Mr. Pei: "…"
Zhuo Yun could not help touching his nose when he saw the two highly respected seniors arguing over Huo Yao. He looked at Huo Yao in a different light.
He recalled all the information he had gathered on Huo Yao. Apart from her ridiculous background, she was really just an ordinary girl who grew up with her grandmother in a small town.
There was nothing special about it.
But if he was just an ordinary middle school student, even if he was brought over by Master, these two wouldn't fight over him to be their disciple, right? Moreover, the two of them didn't seem to be joking at all.
This was very fascinating.
