Chapter 3828 It's too bitter

The Qin general's mind raced, but his face remained impassive.

Xu, the guard, thought that the leader wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, so he actively cooperated by taking the medicine. He stayed by the medicine bowl until he could feel that the temperature was not so high, and then he handed it to the leader.

The Qin general talked about everything, gulping down a bowl of medicine in one go, like a cow drinking water.

The medicine doesn't taste very good, but it's not bitter at all.

The medicine prepared by the young girl was precious, so Guard Xu poured some warm water, rinsed the bowl, and even gave the leader some of the rinse water.

Qin Jiang drank the dishwater and said helplessly, "Little Xu, sometimes I wonder if you're really my bodyguard, or just the eyes and ears sent by that little girl."

"Sir, what you're saying is strange. I'm not your bodyguard, so how could I have the chance to be by your side?" Guard Xu chuckled as he took the bowl to wash it.

"Yeah, you're supposed to be my bodyguard, but it seems like you listen to the little girl more."

"Oh, so you're jealous of me for listening to that young girl and making sure I take my medicine on time? That young girl is your niece, and you're jealous over something so trivial?"

"..." Qin was exhausted. Xiao Xu was truly clever when he was clever, but this reaction left him speechless.

With the commander no longer bothering him, Guard Xu went to wash the dishes with a grin.

When the medicine boy Lan Sanhei Jiu delivered the medicinal soup to He Gong and the others, he also told them that they would bring the medicinal soup the next morning and that they should not eat breakfast yet.

The two pots of medicinal soup were divided into two portions, one bowl for each, which was just right. One portion had more than half a bowl left over, which was given to the police officer who was more seriously injured.

Having completed their mission, Lan San and Hei Jiu returned to the amusement park carrying the empty kettle.

The handsome men in blue and black left the restaurant after finishing their meal because they were delivering the medicinal soup. Young Master Xuan, Young Master Hua, and the others sat for a while and drank some tea before leaving.

Zhou Shao followed the crowd. His uncle and aunt had come at the invitation of the little girl, and were being entertained by Mr. Chao Yi and Mr. Chao San, so he couldn't overstep his bounds.

The children and adults in the park went to the kitchen to pack a meal, then went back to their rooms to pack their luggage and prepare to go to school.

The young people went about their business, and Mr. Li accompanied Mr. Du and others for tea after the meal, then offered to take a walk in the garden to aid digestion.

Old Meng had visited the amusement park once, the time when the Chao and Xiao families tied the knot. On that occasion, he toured the park with his fellow high-ranking officials, but he never spoke to the young girl alone.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Du were transferred to Beijing later, and this was their first time visiting the park.

The Chao and Xiao families held their wedding banquet during the National Day holiday, which was in autumn.

It is now the end of April in the Gregorian calendar, which is also the end of spring.

The park has its own unique beauty in spring and autumn.

The group followed the path in front of the south-facing house to the southeast corner, strolled around the "Fish-Calling Pond" to the east of the pond, and then along the ring canal and plant corridor to reach the "Moon-Reflecting Lake" in the northeast corner of the garden.

After enjoying the scenery around Yinyue Lake, we went to the small island, landed on the north shore of Yuanbao Island, and then followed the road to the north all the way to the southwest area.

A group of people strolled around the park, which took a little over two hours.

After they finished touring the park, all the children and adults went back to school.

Du Xianxian and Xu Xianmeng also bid farewell to the gardeners of the park. The little girl was making medicine, and they did not go to "Langhuan Paradise" to disturb her.

Brother Fu and the others didn't invite the guests to stay. Mr. Xu and his family had to go to work the next day, and Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't stay at the amusement park this time because they didn't have any other elderly people of similar age to accompany them.

Old Li went back to Chao Er's villa with the Chao brothers, and Old Mr. and Mrs. Chao were also there.

Mr. Xu, Mr. Du, and Mr. Meng each took their wives back to their own homes.

The big shots didn't leave empty-handed. The handsome gardener and Grandma Yu from the park packed a medicinal meal for each family, including braised camel in a stone pot, braised lamb, bamboo tube chicken, pickled fish, and a box of elm seed dumplings.

He came empty-handed, but not only did he enjoy acupuncture detoxification, he was also treated to a meal, and he even received a gift when he left. Old Li was so happy he could hardly stop smiling.

Mr. Xu, Mr. Du, and Mr. Meng jokingly said to themselves, "If you can't handle it, you'll have to take it with you," but they didn't refuse to accept it.

Actually, Mr. Xu and Mr. Du had prepared a gift, but considering that Mr. Meng didn't know he was coming to the amusement park and hadn't brought a gift, they ultimately didn't bring it out.

It's okay if I didn't bring a gift today; I can give it to you another time.

Furthermore, the friendship between gentlemen is not limited to a short period of time, but rather to a long-term relationship.

There will be plenty of opportunities to give gifts in the future, so there's no need to rush.

After seeing off the group of big shots, Brother Fu and the others closed the door and quickly went back to the kitchen to continue making elm seed dumplings, steamed buns, and elm seed pancakes.

The finished products were prepared in the morning. Some were eaten at noon, and some were packed up for the children to take to school. In the afternoon, a portion was prepared for the older students to take back and try. There weren't many finished products left.

When Grandpa Li and his friends were visiting the park, Yueyun did not accompany them, nor did she see them off when they left.

She is very busy.

In the initial period, when the medicinal herbs were first put into the pot, several batches of medicine needed to be boiled with the lid off and stirred from time to time due to the nature of the herbs.

Once she no longer needed to tend the cauldron to boil the medicinal herbs, she took her tools and began gathering herbs from the east courtyard.

Xuan Shao also helped dig for medicinal herbs.

The herbs in the front, main, and back yards of Langhuan Paradise all grow exceptionally well.

The little girl was busy gathering herbs until it got dark, but she didn't stop until she moved the herbs to the crescent-shaped stone trough in the backyard garden to wash them.

While Xuan Shao and his friends were busy washing herbs, Le Shan and his friends had already gone into the cafeteria to find food.

Le Shan brought medicinal cuisine, and Han Mu and Fu Jun also packed a meal from home. The three friends divided the work: one watched over the microwave to heat the food, while the other two went to order.

As expected, the "Three Musketeers" ran into Xu Jinsheng again. Xu was at the table next to the one his three friends had reserved, and he arrived a little late. Han and Fu had just returned with the food they had bought when Xu arrived.

Han Mu and Fu Jun placed the food they brought back on the table. Han Mu ran off to find Le Shan first, leaving Fu Jun to stay behind.

Fu Jun sat down and looked towards the microwave. After a moment, he felt someone sit down at their table. Looking over, he saw a classmate sitting in an empty seat at their table.

Then, I saw Xu Jinsheng put his backpack on an empty seat at the next table to reserve a seat before going to buy food.

Xu didn't see him, and Fu Jun didn't greet him either.

Han Mu slipped over to Le Shan, who was guarding the microwave, and waited until the time on the microwave's display screen returned to zero before opening the door.

The food was served in a heatable stainless steel container, and you couldn't see what it was without opening the lid.

The two used a tray to carry the food containers back to the table.

Because of their deep affection, Han Mu and Fu Jun first opened the lids of the two food boxes that Le Shan had brought.

The food box lid was opened, and the aroma of bamboo-tube chicken wafted out.

The other box contained emerald-colored dumplings.

Seeing the familiar dish, Han beamed with joy: "Leshan, you still have bamboo tube chicken?"

"I finished the ones I made before, but my sister came to the capital on a business trip a few days ago and made some new ones. She mixed elm seeds into the dumplings, and they were ready when I got back to school."

Leshan took out the seasoning sauce and poured it over the bamboo tube chicken.

Han Mu stirred the dumplings with chopsticks, laughing even more happily: "Dumplings with fresh elm seeds are the best, but unfortunately, elm seeds are only available for a short period each year."

"If there were elm seeds every month, you'd be tired of eating them by now." Fu Jun opened the food box that he and Han Mu had brought.

Han Mu brought seafood, abalone with vermicelli.

Fu Jun brought his own dish: braised shark fin, a famous dish from the capital.

"As long as you don't eat it every meal, you won't get tired of it." Han Mu happily mixed the ingredients: "Le Shan, every time your sister comes to the capital, she brings you delicious food. I really hope your sister can come to work in the capital."

Le Shan took out a small plate to pick out some food, and glanced at Han twice when she heard the sound: "You have a beautiful idea, but unfortunately it's impossible."

He figured that if his sister stayed in the capital for a little longer, given Han's personality, she would definitely pester him to go back with her to see his beautiful and intelligent sister.

Han Mu knew it was unlikely, but that didn't stop him from hoping.

Le Shan picked up two or three pieces of each item, filled the plate, and then had Han Mu hand it to Xu.

Han Mu was sitting across an aisle from Xu, but his seat was diagonally opposite Xu's at another table.

While Han Mu and Le Shan were reheating the dishes, Xu bought rice. His meal was still very simple, with meat, but very little.

Han Mu leaned out halfway, placed the plate in front of Xu, smiled at Xu who looked up, quickly sat down, and started eating.

Every week when he came back from vacation, Xiao Le would bring back some delicious food, and he would always share some with Xu Jinsheng, who would silently accept his kindness.

Leshan divided the dumplings: four for himself, six each for Han and Fu, and four for Xu.

Fu Jun tasted a dumpling and his eyes lit up: "Leshan, do you have a secret recipe for making elm seed dumplings? They taste several times better than the ones my family makes! I suspect that the elm seeds my family buys are fake."

"The elm seeds used to make dumplings at my house are fresh elm seeds that were just picked from the tree this morning, so they're probably fresher." Le Shan didn't know if there was any secret recipe, because he wasn't involved in the preparation.

"I really want to pick elm seeds myself," Han Mu and Fu Jun said with great envy.

"Give me a break, you two can't even climb trees."

"..." The conversation just died like that.

It's okay if the conversation dies, just focus on cooking.

Students Han and Fu channeled their anger into motivation and worked hard to eat.

Students have to attend evening self-study classes and eat early. Some patients or their families who are hospitalized at the General Hospital of the Military also go to eat when it gets dark.

Xu, the guard, and the guards who were accompanying him also went to buy food in advance. After they bought the food, they ate with the police officers who were able to eat normally.

General Qin, Engineer He, and the two most seriously injured police inspectors are still unable to eat; they can only have water or milk instead of food.

Guard Xu didn't forget the four of them. Instead of giving them water or milk, he ran to get the prepared medicinal soup and poured a large bowl for the leader.

The medicine was brewed starting in the morning, and because it needed to be brewed four times, it wasn't finished until dusk.

Upon seeing the dark, murky medicinal soup, Qin Jiang refused.

Unfortunately, the patient had no voice, and the protest was ineffective.

Qin picked up the bowl and took a sip, his face almost contorting in pain – it was too bitter!

The kind of suffering that's unbearable.

No matter how bitter it was, Qin Jiang couldn't vomit. He swallowed the first mouthful of medicine, forcing himself not to cry out "Oh my god!" He pinched his nose and forced the whole bowl of medicine down his throat like a cow being forced to eat.

He simmered the medicinal soup in one gulp, his facial features almost squashed together.

"Sir, what's wrong? Are you very hot?" Guard Xu was a little flustered; the commander's expression was really... too frightening.

"It's not hot, it's just that the medicine tastes a bit strong." As a soldier with a strong backbone, who had never frowned even when shot and bleeding, could he really say something like "the medicine is so bitter" in front of the guards?

Qin Jiang silently endured the unbearable pain that his sense of taste could not withstand.
