Chapter 210: Looking for a Taoist Priest
As they tasted her cooking, the other food became so tasteless.
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes at Guo Bing as if she despised him.
Guo Bing felt so sad. Why would everyone roll their eyes at him?
Doctor Zhang was invited by little twelve. Before he entered the courtyard, he could smell the fragrance from far away. The fragrance immediately aroused his appetite, and his footsteps became faster. One could not tell that this was a staggering old man in his sixties.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, “girl, what delicious food are you making this time? The smell is so delicious!”
During this period, Doctor Zhang had also been to Lin Yuelan’s place often... to freeload. But then again, Lin Yuelan was his grand disciple, so it didn’t feel that wrong.
Guo Bing immediately went forward to support Doctor Zhang and said, “Doctor Zhang, miss Lin said she’s going to make Chicken Mushroom stew.” Wild chicken and wild mushrooms were such a delicious combo.
While Guo Bing and the others had been educated by Lin Yuelan, the others from this era didn’t know what mushrooms were.
Doctor Zhang was a little puzzled. “Mushrooms? What’s a mushroom?”
Guo Bing immediately patted the back of his head and said, “I forgot that Dr. Zhang doesn’t know about mushrooms.” Then, he said excitedly, “Doctor Zhang, let me tell you. These mushrooms are actually little umbrellas. You have no idea how delicious they are!”
When Doctor Zhang heard the word ‘little umbrella’, he frowned and said sternly, “nonsense! These things are poisonous. No matter how delicious it is, can it be eaten?” With that, he immediately stood up and rushed to the kitchen.
Guo Bing quickly grabbed hold of the angry Doctor Zhang and immediately comforted him, “Doctor Zhang, you didn’t let us finish. Some of the little umbrellas are poisonous, but not all of them are. Two months ago, the boss and I had eaten them. Look at us. We’re still standing here.”
Doctor Zhang immediately asked suspiciously, “Little Guo, are you telling me the truth?”
......
Guo Bing immediately nodded.”Of course, it’s true. Back then, we spent one tael of silver on buying one little umbrella from Miss Lin.” When he mentioned this, his face scrunched with pain.
Doctor Zhang calmed down. He immediately became interested and asked, “little Guo, did you really spend one tael of silver just to buy a little umbrella?” When he said this, Doctor Zhang looked at Guo Bing with disdain, as if he was looking at a fool. ‘No matter how delicious these little umbrellas are, they shouldn’t cost one tael of silver each. They must have been scammed by Lan ‘Er.’
Feeling disdain from Doctor Zhang, Guo Bing almost wailed. Yet another person looked down on him. Why did everyone treat him like this?
Guo Bing wanted to roll his eyes back at them, but he didn’t dare.
One was his superior, one controlled his food, and the other was Miss Lin’s grandmaster. Furthermore, even if Doctor Zhang wasn’t Lin Yuelan’s grandmaster, he was a respected elder. Guo Bing couldn’t offend any of them. So, he could only direct his disdain at Little White, but Little White always ignored him.
Guo Bing suddenly felt a little wronged.
However, Guo Bing still told Doctor Zhang about the first time he met Lin yuelan and how he spent a high price on buying the little umbrellas from her.
After Doctor Zhang heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded. He said with a smile, “haha, Lan ‘Er is so clever. It’s only natural that you’d be fooled! Hahaha ...”
Guo Bing felt like his chest was hit by tens of thousands of arrows! He made up his mind and said, ‘next time, I will never tell others about this again!’
Jiang Zhennan was helping Lin Yuelan to start a fire in the kitchen.
Jiang Zhennan’s eyes brightened up as he smelled the fragrance that was getting stronger. He held back his saliva and commented, “Miss Yue ‘Er, this smell is really good!”
They had eaten the mushroom skewers before, and the taste was absolutely amazing.
He didn’t expect that the mushroom and pheasant could be cooked together.
Lin Yuelan said with a smile, “It’ll taste even more delicious!”
The people who were sitting in the courtyard all looked in the direction of the kitchen with their heads raised, drooling.
A moment later, Jiang Zhennan came out with a large pot of Chicken Mushroom stew. When the people saw the stew, they drooled even more.
Little twelve had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks. As soon as the crowd saw the dishes being served, they grabbed their chopsticks and began to fight for food.
Jiang Zhennan didn’t back down, and Doctor Zhang didn’t hold back either.
“Delicious! It’s so delicious!” Other than delicious, they didn’t know what else to say.
“Wow... What is this?” Guo Bing picked up a red thing and put it into his mouth.
However, the moment he chewed it, it immediately burned, and his face turned red! “Help! So hot!”
At the same time, little three also picked one up and put it in his mouth. He immediately shouted, “Miss Lin, what is this? It’s so spicy!”
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and said, “That’s chili!”
“Chili?!” Guo Bing and little Three immediately exclaimed, “What’s a chili?”
There were chilies in this era, but they were not called chilies. They were called green stripes and red stripes. However, the green stripes and red stripes were the non-spicy varieties. The really spicy chilies wouldn’t be eaten by people so they wouldn’t appear in the market. But they did grow in the wilds.
Moreover, the people here used chilies not as seasonings but more as actual vegetables. Therefore, there were not many who could stand spicy foods. Lin Yuelan shrugged, “Chilies are red stripes.”
“How is this a red stripe?” Guo Bing cursed. “This is too spicy! Plus, isn’t a red stripe supposed to be long and wide? This thing is short and thin! It doesn’t look like a red stripe at all. ”
Lin Yuelan didn’t answer.
However, everyone at the table already knew that the red thing was inedible.
The dinner ended happily.
After Lin Yuelan wiped her mouth, she said, “little twelve, come to town with me tomorrow!”
When she returned, she would take Doctor Zhang’s examination.
