Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1940 - 1941: Dazzling Array

Since Xishan Manor doesn't breed these things, they were all previously bought by Ling Zhenfei at the market, so they're not as fresh.

Besides these items, Ling Zhenfei also brought out some suitable medicinal herbs.

There were more than a dozen ingredients, and along with the herbs they filled a large area, a truly dazzling display.

Ling Zhenfei directed two people to process the ingredients, then individually prepared each one.

Different cooking techniques were used for the various ingredients, frying, stir-frying, and so on. Once prepared, all the ingredients were placed into a special pot.

Zhang Zhenlin was tending the fire, when he saw the blackened pot he asked, "Brother Ling, what do you call this pot? It doesn't seem like it's sticking."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "This is a stone pot made from stone."

Zhang Zhenlin was very shocked, "What did you say, a pot made from stone? How can a pot be made from stone?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "This type of pot comes from a special stone. The stone is hollowed out and treated with some pages of craftsmanship to make it as hard as iron.

Moreover, the food made from this stone pot is incredibly delicious. You'll understand when it's time to eat."

Ling Zhenfei placed all the ingredients into the stone pot, then took out his wine, adding a bottle of Hundred Flowers Drunk, along with some Xuantian Spirit Spring Water.

Once the lid was closed, the preliminary task was complete, but it was already afternoon.

The three of them lay back on chairs again, guarding the pot's fire and inhaling the delightful aromas wafting out.

There was the scent of ingredients, the fragrance of herbs, and the combined aroma of both.

The sky darkened, and the oil-bearing child from Wuliang Mountain began carrying oil barrels around to add oil to the lamps.

Murong Liuqing also arrived in the courtyard and immediately noticed the special aroma, though she couldn't identify its origin.

By then, the lamps in the courtyard were fully lit, and the stone table looked like it had been newly cleaned.

Ling Zhenfei was busy cooking, while Zhang Zhenlin tended the fire, and Sun Wei helped Ling Zhenfei by setting the dishes on the table.

Ling Zhenfei saw Murong Liuqing and asked her to sit down and wait for a moment.

Murong Liuqing sat on the stone stool, watching the three of them bustling about.

On a simple stove nearby, a large pot was steaming, the contents of which were unknown, but the aroma triggered Murong Liuqing's appetite.

Murong Liuqing calmed her mind and refrained from thinking about the delicious pot of food, focusing her gaze on the busy Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was cooking, clearly showcasing his excellent skills; he was swift and clean in his movements.

Some say a man cooking is the most charming, but regardless of whether this man is charming or not, at least he won't starve himself.

Watching Ling Zhenfei cook, Murong Liuqing's lips inexplicably curled into a slight smile, but she quickly suppressed it.

Sun Wei was carrying dishes over and noticed Murong Liuqing's smile, feeling a bit flustered.

Since Murong Liuqing was known as the Ice Beauty, her face was usually expressionless, seeing her smile surprised Sun Wei.

"Miss Murong, were you just smiling?"

Murong Liuqing's expression changed, "What are you talking about? Whether I smile has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Sun Wei replied, "So what if you were smiling? Are you hungry? To be honest, do you know when the things in this pot started simmering? Think about how long it's been stewing.

The contents inside just seem delicious when you think about them, but Brother Ling said we still have to wait a bit."

Murong Liuqing asked, "How do you know if I was smiling because of the pot?"

Sun Wei said, "If you weren't smiling at the pot, what else could you possibly be smiling at? If you say you were smiling at something else, I really wouldn't believe you. You weren't smiling at Ling Zhenfei, were you?"

Murong Liuqing angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Get on with your work already."

Sun Wei chuckled and walked away.

Ling Zhenfei finished stir-frying a few dishes and preparing some cold dishes before finally stopping to walk to the stone pot.

He lifted the lid, releasing a wave of aroma.

The scent was strange yet delightful, though herbs had been added, none of their smells were distinguishable.

Still, the aroma of herbs was integrated into the overall scent, enriching it and making it more unique and multidimensional.

Ling Zhenfei used a ladle to scoop a bit of soup, took a sip, nodded, and muttered to himself, "It's alright, not bad."

After this, Ling Zhenfei covered the pot again and, with a surprising effort, lifted the entire stone pot.

The pot, having just been heated on the stove, was naturally very hot—but Ling Zhenfei seemed unaffected, placing the Gold-clothed Buddha Jumps Over the Wall onto the stone table.

Fortunately, the stone table was large enough, though it was soon covered in Ling Zhenfei's dishes.

Ling Zhenfei said, "This Gold-clothed Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is my improved recipe and should taste slightly different. Ideally, it would stew for another seven to eight hours, but time is limited, so we won't wait much longer."

Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin were practically drooling.

Zhang Zhenlin said, "It's fine, definitely fine. If we wait a few more hours, I'd be starving."

Sun Wei added, "Yes, indeed, if we wait any longer, I won't be able to stand it."

Ling Zhenfei told Murong Liuqing, "Miss Murong, please try it, see if it suits your taste. If it doesn't, there are other dishes to choose from.

But I recommend you eat a bit more—this dish is very nourishing and beneficial for your health, and it offers great relaxation benefits, especially during times of high stress."

Murong Liuqing was surprised by Ling Zhenfei's remarks, but since everyone was watching her, if she didn't move her chopsticks, none of the others would either.

Murong Liuqing said, "Well, then I won't be polite." With that, she took a bite of the food.

Her action seemed like a signal; Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin started reaching for the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Each person took bites while giving Ling Zhenfei a thumbs-up, "Delicious, truly delicious, this is fantastic!"

Murong Liuqing was quite impressed—following Ling Zhenfei had her constantly eating good food, her culinary expectations being continually refreshed.

This time she focused her attention on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

The aroma alone intrigued Murong Liuqing; she picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.

Tasting it, Murong Liuqing's eyes sparkled—the dish's flavor was utterly peculiar, impossible to describe, it far exceeded expectations.
