Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1720 Method of Confirmation

Director Su's words plunged everyone present into silence. As the person involved, Han Li's diagnosis was related to his lifespan and whether he could enjoy and experience what he wanted.

Therefore, Han Li was the first among those present to react, and also the first to speak to Director Su, the national champion.

"Director Su, please don't just say half of what you mean. Since you've diagnosed the hidden danger in my body, you must have a solution."

Han Li's voice broke the silence and interrupted the elders' thoughts. After regaining his senses, Elder Liu asked urgently.

"Director Su, Han Li is like my own son or nephew, no, even closer than my own son or nephew. If it weren't for him, I would probably be a cripple now, and I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today."

Moreover, Han Li is already a graduate student and master's degree holder at such a young age.

Over the years, he has not only saved the country a lot of money, but also helped us obtain a set of heavy industrial equipment and complete technology that the country urgently needed from the English blockade.

This child also provided a lot of useful advice and information. He will make even greater contributions to the country and the people in the future. If you have any solutions, please be sure to share them.

"Medicinal herbs are no problem. If we can't find them in Beijing, I'll swallow my pride and call the old political commissar and my comrades from the Second Field Army to ask them to help us find them."

No sooner had Old Liu finished speaking than Old Guan, Old Li, Old Song, Old Hou, and Old Zhang followed suit, all saying the same thing.

Medicinal herbs are not a problem; we will find a way to find even those that are thousands of years old.

If domestic treatment doesn't work, then go abroad. Didn't someone's hemiplegia get a large part cured in Canada a couple of years ago?

In short, what the elders were implying was that they would spare no effort to eliminate the hidden dangers in Han Li's body.

The elders' words greatly surprised Director Su Zongqiang. He knew that those who could be so free and unrestrained in Elder Liu's home were not outsiders.

However, Director Su did not expect that the other people would react so strongly, and he was even more surprised that this young man was actually half of Master Song's apprentice.

However, when Director Su gave his diagnosis, he already had a preliminary plan in mind, and now all that's left is the final confirmation.

After responding to the elders and saying that he would do his best, Director Su began to inquire about Han Li's situation. He then examined Han Li's pulse and finally spoke after putting his hand down.

"Elders, I have some clues about the hidden dangers in Han Li's health, but I need his cooperation to confirm them."

Cooperation was still uncertain, but the elders and Han Li immediately agreed.

However, what no one expected was that Director Su would then tell Han Li to eat as much meat as he wanted, regardless of what kind of meat it was except fish, the important thing was that he had to eat until he couldn't eat anymore.

At this point in Su's speech, Han Li had already made some guesses about his own hidden dangers, but whether he needed to eat until he was stuffed and wait for the other party to finish taking his pulse before he would know for sure.

Old Song had a similar guess to Han Li, but he couldn't confirm it either. He simply asked the elders to call their respective guards in and have them go home and bring over all the cooked meat.

After Old Song finished speaking, Old Liu and the others smiled and spoke up.

"Old Song, are you worried that I won't have enough cooked meat?"

"Exactly. Even if the doctor doesn't let us eat too much meat, and we don't have much at home, two or three families' worth of cooked meat should be enough."

"I know that you martial artists eat a lot. Even if Han Li can eat a lot normally, he couldn't possibly finish all the meat from all our families, could he?"

Old Song didn't answer the other old friends' questions, but turned to Han Li and asked, "Young Han, what's the most kilograms of meat you've ever eaten in one sitting?"

Han Li: "Does that count in all situations?"

Master Song: "Of course, it counts in any situation, including after you break through and practice stance training."

After recalling for a moment, Han Li said, "After my first time practicing stance training, I ate about seven or eight pounds of meat before I recovered."

The second time it was a little over ten pounds, the third time it was about twenty pounds, the fourth time it was about thirty pounds, the fifth time it was about thirty pounds, and the sixth time it was about…

As Han Li spoke, the elders and Director Su kept glancing at him and Elder Song. They had never known that someone could eat so much meat in one meal.

How do they manage to fit so much meat in their stomachs? No wonder people say that scholars are poor while warriors are rich. This kind of eating and these stomachs are something that ordinary families simply cannot afford.

Not to mention that martial arts training also requires various medicinal herbs, no wonder the garrison has long since begun to reduce its investment in this area, they can't withstand this kind of diet.

Han Li didn't feel embarrassed after he finished speaking. He was going to eat as much as he wanted to increase his lifespan, and he couldn't hide it from anyone.

At the same time, Han Li was also curious and wanted to know how many kilograms of meat he could eat in one go without practicing stance training or when his body was not in a hurry.

But not Old Song. He felt embarrassed by the looks from his old friends and spoke up.

"Don't look at me like that. Back then, it was harder than climbing to heaven for us to eat meat."

The elders said, "We know, but what we want to know more about now is how much you ate at most."

Master Song: "Back then, in order to practice stance training, I often saved up half a year's worth of food before I dared to practice."

The happiest time I ever was, and also the time when I could eat the most, was when I ate almost twenty pounds of meat and more than forty steamed buns in one go—far less than Han Xiaozhi.

Han Li dared not take the blame for so much meat, because the total meat ration coupons for his entire family for the whole year wouldn't even be enough for him to practice his stance training once.

Han Li needed to maintain his persona in front of the elders, so he spoke up immediately after Elder Song finished speaking.

"Back when I was in Beijing, I didn't dare to practice stance training at all. Firstly, I didn't have the skills, and secondly, my family couldn't afford it."

The reason I was able to eat so much meat after completing my stance training is thanks to the fact that I was sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution.

The city of Shanghe is located next to deep mountains and forests. As long as you are bold and lucky, it is not too difficult to catch prey in there.

I happened to become the village's health worker at the time, and I often had to go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. This gradually made up for the lack of meat I had after practicing stance training.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Village Chief Zhao Shengli for always giving me the green light—no, wait, he's Director Zhao now.

Han Li's words clarified his source of meat and also steered the conversation among the elders to Shanghe Village and hunting.

The elders had a wealth of life experience, but they hadn't actually done much hunting.

Even in the military, it was rare, because the military's movements were too loud, and the animals would stay far away. Small-scale operations often required secrecy, and firing a gun would be tantamount to exposing oneself.

While this topic was still being discussed, the guards had already taken the cooked meat to Old Liu's kitchen to thaw and reheat it.
