Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "I am not the best yet. I am still learning. The best medicine food has no medicine taste, but keeps all the healing power. That is the highest level. I have not reached it yet, but I am studying. One day, I will succeed."
"I believe you will succeed, Ani," Old Du said with a smile.
After Zhu Yanyi and her masters checked Old Du’s pulse again, Master Yao looked at her. "The medicine food works well. We will operate on you in three days. You must eat all the medicine food sent these days."
Old Du nodded, showing no problem. Master Yao added, "Do not eat other food."
"Okay." Old Du paused. Although the medicine food tasted good, it was not a delicacy. It always had a slight medicine aftertaste. Old Du looked scholarly, but he was a true meat lover. Master Yao’s words meant he could not eat meat for a long time.
Master Yao glanced at Old Du again. He saw his hesitation. "You can eat meat when your body is better. Just endure it. Besides, on the battlefield, you went days without food. You survived then. Are you spoiled now?"
"That is not true. You know me. I have loved meat since I was young. I cannot eat without meat every meal. During the war, when there was no meat, I always found ways to hunt wild game to satisfy my craving. So, hearing I cannot eat meat for a few days feels unfamiliar," Old Du admitted to Master Yao.
Master Yao was speechless. Old Du was truly a scholarly general. He looked like a scholar, but that was just the surface. His actions were decisive, with no scholarly hesitation.
Zhu Yanyi laughed from the side. "Just endure it. If you listen to me, I guarantee you can eat meat in a month. If you sneak meat now, it might take longer than a month."
Old Du sighed. "Alright. I will pretend I am back in the war. I can endure not eating meat for a month."
Master Yao did not want to talk to her anymore. After finishing the matter, she took Zhu Yanyi and left without even saying goodbye.
Finally, they went to see the boss. After eating the medicine food, the boss’s spirit had improved significantly. The boss was very satisfied. Seeing the boss in good spirits, Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. In the boss’s medicine food, she had added a little Spirit Spring water. It was not pure Spirit Spring, but diluted Spirit Spring water. However, for the boss, it was very effective.
Back in the practice chamber, Master Yao asked Zhu Yanyi, "Did you add Spirit Spring water to the boss’s medicine food?" Although she did not fully believe in such miraculous things, she knew Zhu Yanyi could produce Spirit Spring water out of nowhere.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Yes. I carry a small bottle of Spirit Spring water with me. I obtained it before leaving, just in case. Adding a little to the boss’s and Old Du’s medicine food is good for their bodies."
"You didn’t add it to Madam Ouyang?" Master Yao asked.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "Among the three, Madam Ouyang’s illness is the most severe. Spirit Spring water is only auxiliary and useless for her. I used extracted medicinal juice." She took out a thumb-sized orchid porcelain bottle from her medical kit and handed it to Master Yao. "This is it. Grandpa Yao, please try to analyze its ingredients."
