Chapter 1496: Chapter 1495: I Am Actually a Country Bumpkin_1 Chapter 1496: Chapter 1495: I Am Actually a Country Bumpkin_1 Extre Flavor House.
Bei Lingsu, with a stern face, requested a private room upstairs and then ordered a table full of signature dishes.
At this ti, Extre Flavor House hadn’t begun its business hours yet, but given Bei Lingsu’s special identity, Shopkeeper Hong imdiately instructed the chef to start preparing her al.
A charcoal brazier kept the private room warm, and it even featured paintings. Bei Yun, hands clasped behind his back, inspected each painting on the walls of the room before sitting down at the table. He began with a smile, “The Extre Flavor House in Capital City indeed lives up to its reputation, even the paintings hanging on the walls are works of masters.”As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Bei Lingsu, and then one for himself. He brought the cup to his nose and took a sniff, praising, “Excellent tea.”
Bei Lingsu lifted her teacup and drank it down in one gulp, not tasting the flavor of the tea at all.
Seeing this, Bei Yun shook his head. “Aunt, tea needs to be savored. I never had such good tea in Yuhu, and as for Longshi Country, that’s a group of half-civilized barbarians who can’t appreciate the bitterness and fragrance of tea.”
Upon hearing this, Bei Lingsu lifted her eyelids to give him a glance. Seeing him smile even while rely sipping tea, she couldn’t help but curl her lip, “Does the Duan Residence lack good tea for you?”
“What’s Duan Residence? Just a local tyrant in Yuhu. Compared to Extre Flavor House in Capital City, it’s just a country bumpkin.” Bei Yun leisurely tasted the tea, his eyes slightly squinted, appearing extrely satisfied.
Bei Lingsu raised an eyebrow, “Is it just tea that you’re smiling so widely about?”
“It’s different,” Bei Yun shook his head.
Looking at Bei Lingsu, he explained, “My branch of the family is moderately wealthy thanks to our dical skills, but the past few generations had such short lives, spending most of their ti treating this hereditary illness, they had no ti to attend to anything else.”
“When I was young, my family’s circumstances were average. My father died early, and then my mother died, leaving barely over ten years old, fending for myself to treat the illness and earn money, enduring many hardships.”
“It wasn’t until later that I accidentally discovered a particular herbal dicine that could suppress my illness, and then I had the heart to pursue other interests. Later, by chance, I entered the Duan Residence. There were plenty of gold and jewels there, but the foundation was weak. Even weaker was Longshi Country, where I couldn’t bear to stay. Then I heard you were doing quite well in Capital City, so I ca to seek refuge with you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Hong’s voice could be heard at the door; the al was ready.
Shopkeeper Hong personally ca to serve the dishes. Bei Lingsu told him to attend to his business, as she had co here with no place else to go, rely to pass the ti. It wasn’t necessary for Shopkeeper Hong to waste ti keeping her company.
After Shopkeeper Hong left, Bei Yun picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the dishes.
With each bite, he nodded in approval, praising without end.
Seeing him like this, Bei Lingsu frowned, “Could it be that what you said earlier was true?”
Upon hearing this, Bei Yun imdiately nodded, “Of course. Every word I spoke to you is truer than gold.”
“Hmph,” Bei Lingsu scoffed.
She didn’t believe a word of what Bei Yun had said earlier, but seeing the naive way he acted, she couldn’t help but want to ask, “So your strange illness, it’s actually being temporarily suppressed by a herbal dicine?”
“Yes.”
“So that ans, in fact, your hereditary illness hasn’t been cured?” Bei Lingsu asked again.
“Yes.”
Bei Lingsu’s brows furrowed, “So the significant breakthrough you were talking about is actually offering a type of herbal dicine?”
“Yes, but that’s just the main dicine; there are also so other complentary dicines,” Bei Yun nodded.
