Chapter 357 Don’t worry
"Ah Qing, is it really you?"

Ke Ling still couldn't believe it and asked.

"Of course it's me."

"But why did you come back so suddenly?"

"It's a long story."

As Xu Qing was speaking, A-Mao suddenly rushed into Xu Qing's arms, knocking him and almost making him fall.

"Brother Qing! You're back, you're finally back!"

"Amu, long time no see. Why are you still so irritable..."

Xu Qing said helplessly.

Amu hasn't changed at all, he still has the mentality of a child.

In contrast, Ke Ling has changed a lot.
The girl who used to be playful and naughty suddenly became much more calm and composed, so calm that Xu Qing could hardly recognize her.

Take the present moment for example, Ke Ling was also very excited, even more excited than A Mao, but she appeared much calmer and more reserved than A Mao.

During this period of time, she has become accustomed to suppressing her emotions and not expressing them easily.

Even though she was excited and happy, she just smiled widely to welcome Xu Qing back.

Hong Xi and Li Shun also walked up quickly, patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and asked about his well-being.

Seeing Xu Qing again, they were both very emotional.

And the moment Xu Qing appeared, the hearts that had been hanging in their throats finally settled down in their stomachs.

With Xu Qing around, he can solve any problem, no matter how big it is.

In the hearts of Hong Xi and Li Shun, Xu Qing is like Master Abei, the pillar that supports the sky. Only with him can the sky be supported.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Xu Qing quickly asked: "Ke Ling, how is the master's illness?"

"It's still not improving. It's not good, but it's not bad either."

Ke Ling sighed, "Come with me."

Xu Qing followed Ke Ling into the bedroom.

Master Abe was lying on the hospital bed, his consciousness was drowsy.

Xu Qing's heart sank. Even though he had been mentally prepared on the way here, he still felt very uncomfortable when he suddenly saw Master Abei in such a state. It was as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making him unable to make any sound except sighing.

After a while, Xu Qing said, "Ke Ling, show me the prescription."

"it's here."

Ke Ling quickly took out the prescription from the cupboard and handed it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took the prescription and began to think about it.

Ke Ling looked expectant.

She knew every rumor about Xu Qing clearly, especially those bizarre and shocking deeds. It was said that Xu Qing once cured a seriously ill imperial envoy with a medicinal meal.

Such a bizarre rumor, even others would have an expression of disbelief when talking about it, but Ke Ling treated it as normal.

Since the person who did this was Xu Qing, it was natural for any number of miracles to happen to him.

Ke Ling believed it firmly.

Even if the disease cannot be cured by any doctors in the city, as long as Xu Qing is there, the disease can definitely be cured.

After waiting for a while, Ke Ling couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Qing, how is it?"

Xu Qing said: "This prescription is indeed suitable for the condition, but the person who wrote it was a little cautious. The dosage of many medicines was too small, which resulted in Master Abei's condition not getting better."

"Then can you cure my mother's illness?"

Ke Ling asked hurriedly.

Xu Qing was about to be humble. After all, he was just a chef, not a doctor. It would be better to find a professional to treat the disease.

But when he saw Ke Ling's expression, all his modesty and caution were swallowed back into his stomach.

It was an expression as if grasping at a life-saving straw, the hope and expectation that burst out on the edge of despair, and the strong and wholehearted trust in it.

In the face of such feelings, his modesty was just trampling on this trust. Xu Qing nodded and said, "Of course. Don't worry, Ke Ling, nothing will happen with me here."

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Ke Ling felt truly relieved.

The heavy burden that had been weighing on her disappeared at this moment, and Ke Ling felt extremely calm and peaceful.

No need to worry anymore, no need to be anxious anymore, no need to pretend to be strong anymore.

As long as Xu Qing is here, nothing will happen.

Ke Ling sat on the chair and suddenly felt very sleepy.

After all the pressure was relieved, she felt relaxed, but at the same time, the fatigue that had accumulated for a long time suddenly emerged, making her eyelids heavier and heavier.

Take some sleep.

Now I can sleep peacefully for a while.

Thinking of this, Ke Ling lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Qing looked at the prescription in his hand and kept thinking about how to make the medicinal food.

In order to make medicated food achieve the same effect as prescription medicine, or even better, there are many things that need to be considered.

The combination of various medicinal materials and ingredients, cooking methods, etc. all need to be carefully considered.

Xu Qing has been constantly simulating various methods of preparing medicinal foods, with different proportions and therapeutic effects in his mind.

It took him a long time to decide on the final approach.

"Ke Ling, help me prepare the ingredients..."

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, he noticed that Ke Ling had fallen asleep.

She was sleeping soundly and carefree, which was the expression she should have at her age.

Thanks for your hard work.

Xu Qing thought to himself.

Even through only a few words from others, he could fully imagine how hard it was to support the Juxialou when Master Abei was ill, and how much pressure Ke Ling was under.

Now, just take a good rest and leave everything to Him.

Xu Qing took the blanket beside him and covered Ke Ling with it.

Then he walked out of the bedroom and called Amu.

"Amu, go buy me some food and herbs right now."

"Yes, Brother Qing!"

Without even asking any questions or stuttering, A'mu took the list of materials from Xu Qing's hand and immediately ran out to buy things.

Seeing this, Li Shun asked curiously, "Xu Qing, are you cooking right after you get back? Who are you cooking for?"

"To Master Abe."

Li Shun frowned and said, "Master Abei can't eat anything now, and it's difficult for him to take medicine every day."

"I understand, but what I make is not ordinary dishes, but medicinal food."

"Medicated diet?"

Li Shun recalled the legendary story that was circulating in the streets and asked, "I heard that you saved the seriously ill imperial envoy with your medicinal diet. However, Master Abei and the imperial envoy did not have the same disease. Can your medicinal diet still be effective?"

Xu Qing said: "There is not only one kind of medicinal diet. Just like a prescription, it needs to be different for different people."

After that, Xu Qing gave Li Shun a brief introduction based on the knowledge he had learned.

Li Shun had no idea what was going on and was completely confused.

However, he found that Xu Qing explained very clearly and described many symptoms very clearly. He also explained how to treat them clearly. He was much better than the doctor they had hired.

Li Shun trusted Xu Qing a little more.

Not long after, Amu came back panting with food and herbs, while Hong Xi and Li Shun helped Xu Qing to process the food.

At the same time, they were both curious about how much Xu Qing's strength had improved over this period of time.
