Chapter 149: She Took It for Granted!
The ginseng was plucked a few days ago and was no longer as fresh as before, but one could still see its shape and observe the ginseng itself.
However, this was not the point. Professor Ye’s main grievance was that she stored such a rare and precious herb so casually in a dusty black bag!
Where was the box? At the very least, she should have packed it up in a beautiful gift bag!
She used such a lousy bag to store it. Did she think that it was like wildflowers and weeds that could be seen everywhere on the roadside? She took such priceless ginseng for granted!
Ye Qiliang clutched his aching heart and swayed. He was heartbroken. He wanted nothing more than to dive into the screen and seize the ginseng. He would personally customize a luxurious gift box to pack it carefully and proclaim it a family heirloom.
Su Yayan did not even know Ye Qiliang’s inner thoughts. She held the big ginseng and stood there for a while. Feeling that this was a bit silly, she asked, “Are you done? Oh, never mind. I shall put it aside so you can slowly admire it. I still have some porridge to make, and it’s almost time, so I’ll talk about the other things later.”
Su Yayan casually placed the ginseng beside the plates of herbs as she spoke. The wilted leaves and ginseng roots lay on the white porcelain plate so casually that it was a rather pitiful sight.
When Ye Qiliang saw this scene, his heart ached again. He felt that if he looked at it any further, he might require resuscitation.
“Today’s last medicinal cuisine is Gorgon Lotus Seed Porridge. It mainly uses gorgon and lotus seeds. I have used lotus seeds before so I won’t introduce them again. However, gorgon is quite similar to lotus seeds, and it is a species of the Nymphaea family. Gorgon is its seed, just like lotus seeds are the seeds of the lotus plant.”
While talking, Su Yayan washed both ingredients and put them in the ca.s.serole pot. She proceeded to boil them with glutinous rice. After the gorgon softened, she added some sugar to it, and she was done.
“Gorgon has the effect of replenis.h.i.+ng qi and invigorating the spleen. When used together with barley, it has the effect of dispelling dampness in the body. Adding glutinous rice to boil it to porridge can have the effect of strengthening the kidneys.”
Ye Qiliang heard Su Yayan’s eloquent explanation, and he could not hold back the questions that arose in his heart. After gifting her with a few mansions, he tentatively asked, “Is the little girl a doctor? Where did these Chinese herbs come from? Can you sell some of it for us to study? We can always negotiate on the price!”
If anyone else had asked this question, Su Yayan might pretend that she had not seen it. However, the old professor had spoken up for her not long ago.
Su Yayan held some grat.i.tude towards him and smiled lightly. “These are things I have inherited from my family and had just cultivated recently. As for whether I will sell them and how would I sell them, you will have to wait.”
[What are we waiting for?]
“Wait for my update.”
Su Yayan’s remarks hinted that she would be selling these herbs later. Not only Ye Qiliang but her loyal viewers who watched her previous livestreams were also excited and sent a lot of pop-up inquiries.
There was no official news yet, and Su Yayan had no intention of continuing this topic. “Next, let’s play by the old rules for the lucky draw. There will be a lucky viewer for each of the two soups and porridge. As for the fish, since I only fried one, I need to prioritize the patient. I will not include it in the lucky draw.”
As soon as she spoke, the audience stopped their debate over the ingredients and began to lament that Su Yayan had cooked too little and voiced their envy towards the host’s unwell family member.
Su Yayan had always brought up her family in her previous livestreams, and the audience took it for granted that the patient was Su Yayan’s family.
Family? A cold look flashed in Huo Chenhuan’s eyes, and he snorted in dissatisfaction.
