Chapter 14: Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, This Works Too
Lin Nan grew more curious about the Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine the more he thought about it, and quickly asked Xiao Yu, “Miss Xiao Yu, I wonder if we can purchase this medicinal cuisine to have a taste?”
Xiao Yu felt a bit embarrassed. “Mr. Lin, mainly the materials and cost for this medicinal cuisine are very expensive, and the ingredients are scarce. Our Chen Clan does not sell the medicinal cuisine externally.”
If it were someone else hearing words like “expensive” and “scarce ingredients,” they definitely would not ask again.
Usually when it is said like that, it must be outrageously expensive.
Lin Nan was different. His family had some assets in the county, and now he was drawn in by the medicinal fragrance. Coupled with his curiosity, he wanted to try it no matter how expensive it was.
So he immediately said, “A bit more expensive is fine. The key is we really want to try it. Could you make an exception?”
Xiao Yu was somewhat troubled, but seeing how he was, she had no choice but to bring Lin Nan and the others into her uncle’s courtyard.
When they reached the kitchen, they saw Chen Han inside.
She immediately asked, “Senior brother, Mr. Lin and the others smelled the medicinal cuisine and want to ask about it.”
Chen Han understood what she meant and said to Lin Nan with a smile, “Mr. Lin, the meat used in this medicinal cuisine is not ordinary meat, and the various medicinal herbs are all aged. The price is very high. Just this one stew pot costs twenty thousand, so we have no plans to sell it externally.”
This was also to inform them of the price and see their reaction.
Hearing the price of twenty thousand, Lin Nan did not back down. Instead, he became even more eager to try it. “Patriarch Chen, could you make an exception and sell some to us to taste?”
Seeing this, Chen Han understood and said, “Mr. Lin, in that case, I can sell you half of this stew pot of medicinal cuisine. It will be enough for each of the six adults to have a bowl.”
“Can children not eat it?” Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
Chen Han explained, “Mr. Lin, our Chen Clan Inheritance medicinal cuisine truly has special effects. It not only strengthens the body but is also a great tonic. Children are not suitable for such potent tonics, otherwise they will get nosebleeds immediately.”
This was not nonsense. He himself, with a body too weak to accept tonics, had drunk two bowls and had a nosebleed. But for children, it was because their digestive systems were immature and their endocrine systems easily thrown into disorder, so they could not handle a great tonic.
If a child ate such a potent tonic, it would be even more serious than his own condition; they would get a nosebleed even more easily. After all, many children get nosebleeds just from getting overheated.
“Patriarch Chen, shall we scan the code to pay now?” Lin Nan became even more eager. Just how strong a tonic did it have to be for a child to get a nosebleed immediately after drinking it?
Seeing that the other party had decided, Chen Han took out the payment code and gave it to him. Moments later, he received the payment of ten thousand.
Before long, that stew pot of medicinal cuisine was ready.
When the lid was opened, the medicinal fragrance that wafted out was far richer than before.
Xiao Yu quickly stepped up to help with the bowls. Chen Han took a large ladle, filled bowl after bowl with medicinal cuisine, and had Xiao Yu carry them to the table for Lin Nan and the others.
The six adults immediately gathered around, deeply attracted by the drifting medicinal fragrance.
Lin Nan also took out his mobile phone and recorded a short video of the medicinal cuisine for Uncle Zhao, along with a message: Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine!
Before this, Uncle Zhao had not mentioned this medicinal cuisine, so he probably had not eaten it when he came to the Chen Clan.
After sending it, he put down his phone, picked up his bowl of medicinal cuisine, and took two sips. At first, he only felt the soup was extremely delicious, the medicinal fragrance lingering in his mouth and at the tip of his nose, making it very enjoyable.
But after just a moment, surprise flashed in his eyes. A warm feeling began to spread from his stomach, surging through his whole body.
When his whole body was wrapped in that warm feeling, he was no longer just surprised but shocked. That full-body comfort was so wonderful, it was far better than soaking in a hot spring after a long, tiring day.
Was this the power of the Chen Clan Inheritance medicinal cuisine?
He took two more bites of meat. The meat was fresh and delicious, with a unique texture and very chewy.
He just could not tell for the moment what kind of meat it was.
None of the meats he had eaten before had this kind of texture.
The three children had already been smacking their lips at the smell of the medicinal fragrance. Seeing their parents eating, they all shouted that they wanted to eat too.
Some parents were quite carefree.
Even though Chen Han had already explained, there was still a woman who, under her child’s pleading, did not take it seriously and, soft-hearted, kept giving the child soup to drink and even gave the child dog demon meat.
So, the foreseeable result happened. In a short while, the child’s nose began to bleed.
The child wiped with a hand, saw the blood, and started crying in fright.
The child’s mother was also frightened and immediately grabbed some tissues to press on the child’s nose.
Lin Nan and the others all widened their eyes. It was exactly as Patriarch Chen had said.
This indirectly proved that the Chen Clan Inheritance medicinal cuisine was truly a great tonic.
Of course, if it were not a great tonic, how could it cause such a warm, completely comfortable, miraculous feeling?
Thinking that this medicinal cuisine could also strengthen the body, Lin Nan immediately began chewing big bites and drinking large mouthfuls, not wanting to waste any of it.
After finishing his bowl, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. He really wanted to drink a bowl every day, but when he thought of the price, he silently sighed. There was no way he could afford to drink it daily.
Picking up his phone, he saw that he had received a message from Uncle Zhao asking, “The Chen Clan still has this thing?”
He immediately replied, “Yes, Uncle Zhao. If I hadn’t accidentally smelled the medicinal fragrance, I wouldn’t have known the Chen Clan had something this good.”
In Linhe County, Zhao Kang also had some assets. He started with construction, then opened a hotel and a supermarket. He had previously gone to visit the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex after seeing a video by chance and thinking the place looked good, so he took his wife and friends there for a day.
He had not expected the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex to give him such a big surprise. Leaving aside Patriarch Chen’s ancient techniques, just the antique charm and simple and unadorned style of the ancient architectural complex, and its eye-catching ornamental value, were enough to make people linger.
It really was a very suitable place for convalescence and vacation.
Posting in Moments to help with promotion was truly because he did not want such a heritage ancient architectural complex in his hometown to be buried. He really did have some connections in his Moments. Lin Nan had come to ask after seeing his posts, and he had recommended that they visit.
But as for this Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine, he genuinely had not known it existed.
Seeing Lin Nan’s reply, he could not help asking, “Is the Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine good?”
Seeing the message, Lin Nan immediately replied, “More than good. Just the smell makes your mouth water. The key is this thing can strengthen the body and is a great tonic. You can really feel the effect as soon as you eat it. Your whole body becomes warm, completely comfortable.”
“Patriarch Chen also warned that it is too potent for children. They will get nosebleeds immediately. Wu Fang did not believe it and gave some to her child, and her son’s nose started bleeding right away.”
“So miraculous?” Zhao Kang replied in disbelief, suddenly feeling that his previous visit to the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex had been wasted since he had not eaten this.
Seeing his question, Lin Nan immediately typed, “Uncle Zhao, would I lie to you? At first Patriarch Chen refused to sell it, because the meat in the stew is not ordinary meat, and all the medicinal herbs are very old and extremely rare. One pot costs twenty thousand.”
“I asked Miss Xiao Yu to put in a word for me. She then took me over, and only then did Patriarch Chen agree to sell me half the stew pot. But after eating this medicinal cuisine, I feel it was totally worth it. I still feel warm all over now, and my whole condition is amazingly good.”
Seeing Lin Nan’s description, Zhao Kang did not hesitate. He quickly found Miss Xiao Yu’s Weixin and sent a message: “Miss Xiao Yu, I plan to come over to the Chen Clan this afternoon and stay for two days. I will have to trouble you to arrange it again.”
He had not expected that after he helped promote the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex and attracted people like Lin Nan there, he would now, in turn, be drawn back by Lin Nan.
This really was…
…
In the kitchen.
Chen Han also served a bowl of medicinal cuisine for himself and his junior sister, and they drank together.
He immediately entered that state of whole-body warmth and perfect condition. Seeing the increase in his lifespan time, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After two bowls of medicinal cuisine, the lifespan that had just dropped to twenty-eight days was restored to twenty-eight days again.
Lifespan: 28 days 9 hours 45 minutes.
So, as long as he provoked two waves of dog demon battles every day, he could routinely obtain dog demon meat. Then, with a spiritual energy rinse, if there were no accidents like cancer cells suddenly exploding or suddenly worsening severely, he could at least stabilize his lifespan at twenty-eight days.
“Senior brother, Mr. Zhao said he is coming back to the Chen Clan this afternoon to stay for two days,” Xiao Yu said in surprise. In the past, the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex rarely had returning guests. It was uncommon to have someone like Mr. Zhao, who not only helped introduce guests but also came back to stay again shortly after leaving.
Lin Nan was attracted by Xiao Yu’s words. He knew Uncle Zhao was definitely being drawn back by the medicinal cuisine.
Chen Han also nodded. Mr. Zhao was clearly wealthy, and he could promote the medicinal cuisine to him.
And just as he was thinking this, a game prompt suddenly appeared in his mind:
【Congratulations, the Work Hall Elder has led the clan experts to construct a defensive formation with thunder bamboo, protecting the Special Spiritual Aperture, and the defensive formation has gained a special attribute: sturdiness +2!】
【Congratulations, during the creation of the thunder bamboo defensive formation, the Work Hall Elder discovered that thunder bamboo leaves seem to have a special use. They can be used to make thunder bamboo spirit tea, and he has engraved the secret recipe on a bamboo slip and passed it on to you!】
In the next moment, Chen Han saw that in the warehouse of his mind, a new floating bamboo slip had appeared!
This truly was an unexpected surprise.
He immediately checked the contents of the bamboo slip, and a look of delight appeared on his face.
This could work!
