Chapter 35: The Foodie Zhao Ya
Nan Yue Ran stretched out half of her hand, but Bai Chen pressed it down.
The atmosphere between them felt a bit awkward.
Nan Yue Ran looked at Bai Chen with confusion; she didn’t understand why he wanted to stop her.
After all, this was something Bai Chen had prepared.
Nan Yue Ran smiled gently at Bai Chen and then pulled back her hand, feeling quite uneasy inside.
It was just a bowl of herbal soup; why couldn’t she eat it?
Moreover, having her hand stopped halfway was quite embarrassing.
Bai Chen noticed Nan Yue Ran’s discomfort and explained,
“I added some special ingredients to this herbal soup, which would burden your body if you ate it.”
Nan Yue Ran nodded with a gentle smile on her face.
However, she still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Bai Nian Nian, who was so weak, could eat it, but she couldn’t.
Yet Bai Chen was telling the truth; his blood could only help Bai Nian Nian stabilize her bloodline.
After all, Bai Nian Nian was his kin, but Nan Yue Ran was different!
Her bloodline was mixed and could not withstand his blood.
If she really ate this bowl of herbal soup, she might not be able to handle it.
Then something very bad could happen, and at that point, even Bai Chen would be helpless.
Nan Yue Ran sat for a moment, her thoughts tangled like a mess, causing her mood to swing.
The atmosphere in the restaurant fell silent, with only the sound of Bai Nian Nian eating the herbal soup.
Finally, Nan Yue Ran suddenly stood up.
“I remembered I have some matters to attend to. I’ll go take care of them first.”
After saying this, Nan Yue Ran left the medicinal meal shop. On the way, her nose tinged, and she felt like crying.
“Daddy, what’s wrong with Mommy?”
Bai Nian Nian asked Bai Chen, looking concerned.
Bai Chen sighed softly, just stroking Bai Nian Nian’s head.
There were some things he couldn’t say right now; he would have to wait until later.
However, after this incident, Nan Yue Ran would surely feel quite wronged.
Once Bai Nian Nian finished eating, her eyelids began to droop instantly.
Bai Chen knew this was the effect of his blood starting to work.
“Daddy, I want to sleep.”
Seeing his daughter so sleepy, Bai Chen took her upstairs to the restaurant, which had been transformed into a bedroom.
Bai Nian Nian’s face flushed, and her whole body felt hot.
This was because Bai Nian Nian was absorbing her bloodline.
Bai Chen stayed by Bai Nian Nian’s side for a while.
When he saw that Bai Nian Nian was not in serious trouble, he sighed in relief.
Going to the kitchen on the first floor, Bai Chen looked at the empty herbal medicine boxes and shook his head.
There was not a single item in stock; he needed to restock.
At that moment, Bai Chen remembered Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Ya.
He took out the business card that Zhao Ya had given him before and looked at the number, dialing it.
“Hello? Who is this?”
A clear and pleasant voice came through the phone, and Bai Chen recognized it as Zhao Ya’s voice.
“This is Bai Chen. I want to order a batch of herbal medicine.”
“Sure, no problem! Just a moment! Are you Doctor Bai?”
“Yeah.”
“Great! Where are you now? I’ll send over the herbs right away!”
Bai Chen was a bit surprised by the enthusiasm on the other end of the line.
“I’m at the medicinal meal shop near Lintai Kindergarten.”
“Okay, Doctor Bai! Please hold on!”
Bai Chen then informed Zhao Ya about the herbal medicines he needed before hanging up the call.
Not long after, a Dongfeng truck arrived in front of Bai Chen’s medicinal meal shop.
A pink BMW 7 Series followed behind, and Zhao Ya and Zhao Ruilong stepped out of the car.
As soon as they entered the medicinal meal shop, Zhao Ruilong was captivated by the menu.
“Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup? 1888?”
Even Zhao Ya blinked her beautiful eyes repeatedly, admiring the shop’s decorations with delight.
“Doctor Bai, did you open this shop?”
Zhao Ya asked Bai Chen in surprise.
Bai Chen nodded.
“That’s right!”
“Then I must have a good taste of it!”
“Of course you can!”
After the workers moved all the herbal medicines into the kitchen, Bai Chen began preparing the herbal soup.
This time, Bai Chen was the one needing supplies.
Therefore, Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Ya took it very seriously, as there were many precious items among the herbs.
Seeing this, Bai Chen directly made a high-level Red Essence Blood Formula.
Usually, a basic herbal soup only requires herbs that are ten years old.
For a medium-level herbal soup, the herbs need to be at least twenty to thirty years old.
As for a high-level herbal soup, it starts with herbs that are fifty years old.
The top-tier herbal soups require extremely rare herbs that are over a hundred years old.
Are there even higher-level ones?
Of course, but those use the legendary spirit herbs.
However, with the current thin spiritual energy, these herbs, which used to be as common as weeds, are now very hard to find.
In this batch of herbs, Bai Chen saw several that were fifty years old.
This pot of Red Essence Blood Formula he made just met the minimum standard to treat Bai Nian Nian’s body.
The value of just this pot of herbal soup reached fifty to sixty thousand.
Soon, Bai Chen finished preparing a pot of Red Essence Blood Formula.
Bai Nian Nian was still asleep, so Bai Chen did not wake her. He first served a bowl to Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Ya.
The two looked at the small bowls of herbal soup in front of them, speechless.
They thought that the big pot Bai Chen had made was for them!
“My herbal soup is not ordinary. For your body conditions, one bowl is enough. It’s not that I won’t serve you more; you’ll understand once you eat,” Bai Chen said lightly.
Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Ya exchanged doubtful glances.
Zhao Ya raised her eyebrows.
“Doctor Bai! I’m a foodie! This little bowl is definitely not enough for me!”
Bai Chen smiled slightly but said no more.
Seeing this, Zhao Ya felt even more unsatisfied, and the two of them started eating at the same time.
However, in the next moment, as soon as they took a bite, they froze in shock.
Zhao Ruilong felt as if he had drunk aged wine; his stomach began to burn warmly.
But it didn’t burn painfully; it was a gentle warmth spreading through him.
Then he felt a gentle power radiating from his abdomen to his limbs.
His knees, which had hurt for years, suddenly felt much lighter.
On the other side, after taking a sip, Zhao Ya stood frozen in place.
Her face flushed suddenly.
In her perception, a gentle sensation continuously surged at her lower abdomen.
There was even a tendency to move downward.
This was also due to Zhao Ya’s special constitution; women are generally more prone to blood deficiency than men.
The greatest effect of the Red Essence Blood Formula was to replenish blood.
Therefore, this power naturally directed toward Zhao Ya’s lower abdomen.
Both of them felt such a strong effect from just one sip.
Ignoring everything else, they immediately finished the herbal soup in their bowls.
After one bowl, both of them showed satisfied expressions.
At the same time, a feeling of fullness arose.
“What’s going on? Am I full after just one bowl?” Zhao Ya looked at Bai Chen in surprise.
Bai Chen replied lightly, “I told you my herbal soup is not ordinary. One bowl is just right for you. If you eat too much, it could actually be harmful to your body, as too much of a good thing can lead to loss.”
Zhao Ruilong admired Bai Chen even more upon hearing this.
“I only knew that Doctor Bai had outstanding medical skills, but I didn’t know he was also top-notch at making herbal soup! Today has really opened my eyes!”
Just as Bai Chen was about to speak, a message from Nan Yue Ran left him stunned.
