Chapter 359 Awakening
Only people with real talent can see Xu Qing's knife skills that return to the original simplicity. Only then can they see how profound the principles are hidden in it, and how terrifying this exquisite knife skills are. This is simply not a realm that ordinary people can reach. Even the most talented people will feel pain and confusion in front of this knife skills.

But for people with little talent, this knife skill is really too ordinary.

So ordinary and unremarkable.

It makes people lose interest at just one glance.

Xu Qing actually likes his current knife skills.

The gorgeous knife skills are amazing and eye-catching.

But knife skills are not an artistic performance, nor are they meant to be seen beautifully. Knife skills are meant to serve the taste of the dish.

Xu Qing simplified his exquisite knife skills. He did not deliberately try to make his knife skills look ordinary. Rather, when the knife skills reached this level, they naturally became ordinary.

Or should we say that being ordinary is the greatest extraordinary thing.

Xu Qing had a hunch that perhaps in the end all skills would return to their original form.

The beginning is also the most real and original state.

With the help of the knife skills he had learned, Xu Qing was able to draw inferences from other skills and gained a deeper understanding of other skills.

Use a casserole to simmer over low heat, and the even heat will completely release the flavor and nutrition of the ingredients. The final product may seem watery, but in fact all the nutrition and deliciousness are contained in it.

While the casserole was still simmering, the hot steam coming out of the pores and the faint fragrance wafting out made Li Shun and the other three subconsciously take a deep breath.

"It's delicious!"

"What a strong taste and aroma! But I wonder if Master Abei can drink it with such a strong taste."

Hong Xi said worriedly.

Many sick people are most afraid of the smell of oil and will feel like vomiting when they smell it.

What may smell delicious and tempting to ordinary people is something they avoid like the plague.

Because the disease makes it impossible for the body to digest meat, the sense of taste and smell changes, causing people to develop a dislike for meat.

This is also a self-protection mechanism of the body.

The delicious broth in front of them made them drool. However, such a strong aroma might not be a good thing for a sick person.

"That's right."

Li Shun nodded, and then shouted to Xu Qing: "Xu Qing, I'm afraid Master Abei can't drink such delicious meat. Why don't you make her some light food like porridge and side dishes. But it would be a waste to pour out the broth, so why not let us take care of it."

Hong Xi glanced at him. The first two sentences he said sounded reasonable, but the last sentence exposed his true nature.

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "My medicinal food is very effective. Uncle Li Shun, you are full of energy. It is not a good thing for you to drink such a tonic soup. Overdoing it will be a bad thing. Don't worry, the master can drink this bowl of soup."

Seeing Xu Qing say this, Li Shun was speechless.

Since Xu Qing is so confident, just believe him.

And Amu never doubted Xu Qing from the beginning.

Although he knew nothing about medicinal food, Xu Qing must have his reasons for doing so.

After a while, the broth was ready. After opening the lid, the aroma was stronger than before. The fresh fragrance of the quail was mixed with the unique fragrance of the medicinal materials, evolving into a complex and mysterious taste, sweet and rich, elegant and charming.

Such a wonderful aroma makes passers-by stop, look up and take a deep breath, inhaling this wonderful taste into their mouths, and then circulates it in their lungs twice before they exhale reluctantly.

"It smells so good, what is that smell?"

“It smells like chicken soup.”

"No, this should be cooking medicine, there is such a strong smell of Chinese medicine in here."

"Are you kidding? Who can make medicine that smells so good? If so, I would be willing to drink it every day."

"Maybe they cooked the herbs and chicken together." As soon as someone said this, they saw that everyone around them had disgusted expressions on their faces, "Stop talking, how can this taste good?"

The man thought about it and it made sense. If Chinese medicine and chicken were cooked together, wouldn't the smells be mixed? The medicine would have a meaty smell, and the chicken would have an earthy smell... Ugh, it made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, expelling this strange thought from their minds and allowing the strange and wonderful smell in the air to reoccupy their brains.

Xu Qing brought the cooked medicinal food back to the bedroom.

Ke Ling, who was taking a nap on the table, twitched her nose and woke up from her sleep.

"It smells so good, is it time to eat?"

Ke Ling asked confusedly.

Xu Qing looked at the sky outside and said, "It's still early. It's not time for dinner yet."

Ke Ling's eyes followed the aroma and focused on the soup bowl. "What is this?"

“It’s a medicinal meal.”

Hearing the word "medicinal food", Ke Ling jumped up and said excitedly: "Is it prepared for mom?"

Xu Qing nodded and handed her the bowl of soup.

Ke Ling took the bowl of soup and sat down on the edge of the bed skillfully. She scooped up a small half spoonful with a spoon, blew on it near her lips, then carefully handed it to Master Abei's lips and gently sent the broth into her mouth with skill.

Ke Ling sighed and said, "In the beginning, Mom was awake for longer periods of time, but in the past two days, she has slept more. She barely wakes up once or twice a day."

Xu Qing comforted him, "Don't worry, Master will be fine."

"Ah."

Ke Ling nodded slightly.

To others, these words were just a simple consolation, but when Xu Qing said them, Ke Ling believed them without a doubt.

Everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Ke Ling calmed down and slowly took the medicinal food.

After drinking two or three more sips, Ke Ling keenly noticed that Master Abei's eyelids suddenly moved.

She quickly put down the bowl of soup in her hand and whispered, "Mom."

Master Abe slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, as if he didn't know where he was.

After a while, Master Abe finally regained consciousness.

Then, she fixed her eyes on Xu Qing and said in surprise: "Ah Qing, why are you here?"

Xu Qing didn't explain much, but just said softly: "Master, I'm back."

"Well, it's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Master Abei kept saying this, his eyes slightly moist.

Immediately, Master Abei felt the sweet fragrance in his mouth and asked curiously, "What is this? It doesn't taste like the medicine I drank before."

Ke Ling quickly held the bowl of soup in front of Master Abei and said, "This is the medicinal food made by Aqing, specially made for you, mom! As long as you drink this bowl of soup, you will definitely get better!"

"The medicinal food made by Ah Qing?"

Master Abei was even more surprised, because she remembered very clearly that Xu Qing did not like medicinal food at first, which made her deeply regretful.

Unexpectedly, after being away for so long, Xu Qing became interested in medicinal food, which surprised Master Abei very much.
