Chapter 329 Sorrow
When Xu Qing was in Guangzhou, he held a banquet and invited people from all over the city to attend.

But at that time, most of the things were arranged by Master Luo Tian and others, so Xu Qing only needed to focus on cooking.

Now, not only is time tight, but food ingredients are also a big problem.

After much mobilization, the official helped him gather some ingredients, but if there was more, he couldn't help with anything more.

Not to mention the Great Union.

From the looks of it, Xu Qing's plan was about to end before it even began.

The most sensible way is to leave Shanghai immediately and stop caring about these things. Otherwise, Shen Cong will not know how to deal with him later.

Being in a foreign land and having conflicts with the local leaders, it is really difficult to move forward.

But Xu Qing would not leave just like that, at least not before trying all possibilities.

"Chef Tang, I want to go out for a walk."

Since I can't think of any solution by staying in the room, I might as well go out and take a look. Maybe I can get some other ideas.

"I'll go with you."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "No, Chef Tang, you still have to take care of the Longzhen Restaurant. I can go by myself. It's nothing big, just to relax."

"But you are not familiar with Shanghai..."

"Let me go with Brother Xu Qing!"

At this time, a childish voice said.

Chef Tang looked down and saw that it was the Three Heroes who spoke.

He frowned immediately: "Have you finished today's practice?"

"It's done, look, father."

Sanjie pulled Chef Tang over to look at the radish slices he had cut.

Each piece is crystal clear, like a polished jade plate, sparkling with a lustrous luster in the sun.

With such knife skills, even the strict Chef Tang couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

"Can I go?"

The three heroes looked at their father expectantly.

"This……"

Xu Qing said, "Chef Tang, please let Sanjie accompany me. I just happen to be in need of a guide."

Chef Tang was afraid that the three heroes would cause trouble for Xu Qing. Since Xu Qing said so, he had no choice but to say, "Okay then. Remember, don't cause trouble for Xu Qing."

"I understand." Sanjie said obediently.

Then two teenagers, one big and one small, went out for a stroll.

People were coming and going on the street, and many of them were discussing the banquet three days later. They were inviting everyone in the city to come and enjoy the feast. Such a grand event had never been seen before.

And the chef is the famous Xu Qing, the youngest top chef in history, who also defeated a mysterious man that no one could defeat. It is really exciting to see what kind of dishes such a mysterious and powerful chef can make.

These expectations became invisible pressure, making Xu Qing more and more irritated.

He couldn't help but sigh, maybe he shouldn't have come out, adding more troubles to himself.

As we walked, there were fewer voices discussing him, fewer voices of expectation, and more sighs, and more anxiety and boredom in the air.

Xu Qing looked carefully and found that they had arrived near the pier.

This was once the most lively place. Although it is still busy today, people are more worried.

"What happened?"

Xu Qing asked doubtfully.

"I'll go find out!"

The three heroes volunteered and trotted into the crowd.

The three heroes were young, lively, cheerful and good at talking, so they quickly understood everything.

"Brother Xu Qing, it is said that many people have contracted a strange disease."

"A strange disease?" "It's not really a disease. They said that I just feel uncomfortable and weak, but I'm not sick enough to be unable to move."

Minor physical ailments are the most annoying. Many times, they are called illnesses, but they are not really illnesses. However, the discomfort they bring is real, and they are difficult to treat, which is really annoying.

Sanjie continued, "It seems that because of this illness, which is not really a disease, many ship workers have slowed down their work progress, resulting in a backlog of goods at the dock recently. The ship workers are all very anxious."

If these goods are piled up for one more day, their losses will increase by 10%. Wouldn't they be extremely anxious?

But no matter how anxious they are, there is nothing they can do. After all, illness cannot be cured just by wishing it away.

If everything in the world could be as we wish, there wouldn't be so much sorrow.

After listening to this, Xu Qing did not leave. Instead, he walked up to the boatmen who were sitting together and looked at their expressions carefully.

The boatmen were all very surprised to be looked at so closely by a young boy.

The grumpy man said, "What are you looking at, kid? This is not the place for you to play. Go somewhere else if you want to play. Go away."

Xu Qing asked: "Big brother, how long have you been feeling unwell?"

The man asked back, "What does this have to do with you?"

"If I'm guessing correctly, have you been suffering from dizziness, headaches, and tinnitus recently?"

"You...how do you know?"

The man said in surprise.

Xu Qing then asked some more detailed questions, and combined with his own observations, he finally confirmed it.

The skill displayed by Xu Qing shocked everyone around him.

Who would have thought that a teenager of such age could diagnose illnesses and accurately tell what symptoms others have.

Even among doctors who have been practicing medicine for many years, few can speak so accurately.

Several other people also crowded over curiously and asked about the situation, and Xu Qing answered them one by one, without any error.

The reason why Xu Qing was able to perform like this was, on the one hand, because of the medical book given to him by the old doctor, and on the other hand, because of his extraordinary five senses, which allowed him to see details that ordinary people could hardly notice.

Seeing that Xu Qing was so accurate, the people around him respected him more.

One of them asked carefully, "Excuse me, young sir, what disease do I have?"

Hearing this, the others suddenly became nervous.

I was afraid that they might have contracted some incurable disease.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "It's not a serious illness. It's just that the heat and moisture in your body have accumulated, causing the symptoms to appear."

"Do I need to take medicine?"

When they heard about taking medicine, everyone looked even more nervous.

Their lives were already difficult, and they never dared to get sick on weekdays. Even if they did get sick, they would just endure it and get through it.

Chinese medicine is not cheap, especially for them, which makes their already poor lives even worse.

Xu Qing wanted to say that taking medicine would make him get better quickly, but seeing the expressions on their faces, he knew it was useless to say anything.

He thought for a moment and whispered to Sanjie, "Sanjie, go back and ask Chef Tang for these things..."

The three heroes took note of it carefully, turned around and trotted back.

"Young sir, since this isn't a serious illness, is it okay not to take medicine?"

"Yes, it's better not to take medicine!"

"I'm in good health. I've survived every serious illness in the past. Why do I need to take medicine?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xu Qing didn't think so. "Although it's not a serious illness, if it accumulates over a long period of time, a small illness can easily become a big illness. It's best to detect it early and treat it early. You don't have to worry. The illness you have does need to be treated, but it can be cured without taking medicine."

"Ah? Is there such a good thing?"

Everyone was overjoyed.

It is not just the sick sailors who are troubled by this inexplicable disease, nor are it just the employers and sailor leaders who are worried about the loss of cargo. The leaders of the sailor union are also gathered together at this moment, vowing to come up with a solution.
