Chapter 267: Shameless
"Kidney stones? They are usually accompanied by urinary pain and incomplete urination. In severe cases, they may also cause hematuria. You can boil moneywort in water and drink it as a daily tea." Jiang Zhen gave a suggestion.
Bai Yi waited for a while, but didn't hear any more specific treatments, and he was completely disappointed. Chang Song on the side also felt the same way, but he didn't show it on his face. Jiang Zhen felt a little embarrassed, after all, in front of these senior doctors with profound medical skills, he seemed too shallow.
"Well, maybe there is a better way. My medical skills are not very deep. I'll go back and look through the medical books first." As he spoke, his eyes flickered and he thought to himself. In fact, his real idea was to go back and ask the mysterious and highly skilled master for advice. After all, when faced with difficult and complicated diseases, who wouldn't want to have an expert to give some advice?
Bai Yi nodded gently, without much emotion between his brows. It was obvious that he didn't care too much about the answer, as if it was just a trivial matter mentioned casually.
Chang Song seemed more attentive. He once again reminded Song Yunfeng to take care of his health, with a gentle tone but with concern that could not be ignored. The two of them immediately stood up and prepared to walk out of the house and embark on their journey home.
At this moment, a mouth-watering aroma filled the air, which was a signal that the lunch Shen Yan had carefully prepared was about to be finished. Zhao came out after smelling the aroma and happened to see the backs of the two people about to leave.
"What smells so good?" Jiang Zhen took a deep breath. The tempting aroma made him curious, but even with such a keen sense of smell, he couldn't immediately guess the true identity of this delicacy.
"Is it... Lin Ge'er's wife who cooked the meal?" His words were filled with uncertainty, yet full of anticipation.
"It's Yanyan's cooking, for sure. Dean Chang, Doctor Bai, and Uncle Jiang, come and taste some together!" Shen Yan's voice was warm and inviting, like a spring breeze that made it hard to refuse.
"No, no, I'm busy with some stuff today. Let's do it next time. Next time for sure." Jiang Zhen didn't want to appear to be out of line at this time. There were distinguished guests at home today, so how could he feel embarrassed to cause more trouble.
However, when he learned that the two had no intention of staying, he hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay, saying earnestly: "Dean Chang, Doctor Bai, you really should try it. The food cooked by Lin'er's wife is really amazing. One time will make you unforgettable."
Dean Chang's thoughts could not help but drift back to that day, the heroic figure who jumped off the carriage, and the various legends about her in the academy, and his curiosity was quietly ignited. He turned to look at Bai Yi, but saw that Bai Yi had already walked towards Yi Ge'er.
Yige was concentrating on sorting out the herbs he had just prepared. His large leaves were clearly visible and he was careful and meticulous. Chang Song originally thought that Bai Yi wanted to check on Yige's leg injury recovery, so he didn't ask any more questions and only said to Zhao: "Then we won't be polite."
After staying, Chang Song unexpectedly received a surprise. He originally thought that Jiang Zhen's compliments were just to keep him, but he didn't expect that the food tasted so good that it could instantly whet his appetite even in the hot summer. The outside was slightly burnt and the inside was tender, fragrant, and just the right amount of sour and spicy. Every bite was like enjoying a feast for the taste buds. Although the ingredients were ordinary, they could perfectly stimulate one's appetite.
Chang Song couldn't help but look at Shen Yan a few more times. According to his usual standards, Shen Yan might not be good enough to match his most outstanding student, but at this moment, he had to admit that she was indeed unique. She had a pretty face and her cooking skills were even better.
"Mrs. Song, have you ever studied cooking?" Bai Yi asked curiously after eating a piece of tofu that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a strong egg flavor. The tofu was covered with golden egg liquid on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with minced meat, and the rich soup and aroma awakened his taste buds many years ago. It was as if he had returned to a famous restaurant in a prosperous city thousands of miles away in the south, tasting the signature dishes there.
There were rumors that Song Yunfeng's wife was not well educated and had made no progress. Shen Yan was skillfully placing a small sailboat carved from a watermelon on the table. She smiled softly and confidently, "My father hired a chef to teach me cooking skills in his early years. I only learned the basics. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
The watermelon boat was so vivid that it seemed to have life. Even an ordinary watermelon, under her skillful hands, became a gorgeously decorated bride, so beautiful that people felt as if they were at a royal banquet. Such knife skills are definitely not something a beginner can achieve. To say that she has only a superficial understanding of the basics is really too modest.
Shen Yan lost her mother at a young age, and her only relative was her grandfather. Although her grandfather was an excellent doctor, he was a layman in cooking. Since she was ten years old, she began to take on the burden of cooking at home. For her family, she specially learned cooking. If it weren't for her deep interest in medicine, she might have become an excellent chef long ago.
At the dinner table today, Chang Song and Bai Yi had a big appetite and ate more than usual. Looking at the almost empty dishes, Chang Song's face flashed with embarrassment, thinking that the children and the two hostesses of the Song family were not at the same table. It was said that they set up another table in the kitchen. As for the actual situation, outsiders naturally had no way of knowing.
Chang Song wanted to stop at the taste, but he couldn't help himself. He felt very rude, so he took out a tael of silver from his purse to express his apology and gratitude.
"Sister Song, I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts. Please use this money to buy some nourishing foods for Yunfeng and the children."
Zhao quickly shook her head to refuse, a bit of panic in her eyes, and she looked at Shen Yan for help.
Shen Yan took a step forward, smiling: "Dean Chang, you are my husband's mentor and the cornerstone of his success. Your kindness is profound and we will never forget it. A simple meal is just a small token of our Song family's appreciation. How can we accept your silver?"
"If my husband knew, he would be ashamed and embarrassed."
"It's the same with Doctor Bai. He came all the way to visit my husband and didn't charge a penny. With your medical skills, these meals are not worth mentioning. They are far less than the value of your consultation."
"We will always remember the kindness you two have shown us in our Song family. Let's forget about the money."
Hearing Shen Yan's sincere words, Chang Song had no choice but to put away the silver, and his impression of her became more respectful. It seemed that the rumors were not entirely to be believed.
This woman was not only beautiful, but also had a rare sense of reason, which made everyone around her praise her. Her appearance was like a clear spring, nourishing everything around her. She was indeed a rare beauty in the world.
This is very good. If she can manage the household well, support her husband and educate her children with virtue, so that Yunfeng has no worries when he is away, then her blessings will follow her like a shadow, accompanying her every step.
