Using his chopsticks, Elder Fang picked up a piece of braised pork belly which was coated in sweet and sticky sauce that seeped entirely into the meat.
He squinted while savoring the meat for a moment before saying slowly, “In terms of age, I am the oldest, so I should be addressed as Master. You two, call me your Senior.”
The netizens were dumbfounded. ‘
why?
why??
why?!
Why had even Elder Fang, who was the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of China, fallen for it too!?!
Xiang Yi, who suddenly had three masters, was dumbfounded.
Laughing incessantly, she said, “Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Yun, Grandpa Jing, I may be very interested in medicine, but I’m afraid I don’t have time to study recently…”
Since she promised to star in “Two Under One Roof”, she had to keep to her word.
Otherwise, it would make things difficult for Shi Sui, Li Jianyu, and the others.
Elder Jing looked around and said after some pondering, “This place has beautiful scenery, and the air is fresh and pleasant. I can stay and teach you all about medical skills, my beloved apprentice.”
Elder Yun said, “Yes, this is a serene place that is suitable for meditation.”
Elder Fang said, “Little apprentice, you won’t mind us being here, right? Ah, well, it’s normal that people would dislike us three old fogies…”
Xiang Yi said, “I don’t mean that, Grandpas, you may stay for as long as you wish, I’m just afraid that I’ll be too incompetent and end up letting you guys down…”
Elder Fang was just waiting for her to say those words. He winked at the people following him and soon, someone immediately carried a brocade box over and stood still in front of Xiang Yi.
Xiang Yi opened the box to see that there was a superior-grade ginseng inside.
It was wild ginseng that was as thick as a human arm and at least decades old.
“Grandpa Fang, I can’t take this…” Xiang Yi wanted to decline politely, but Elder Fang said calmly, “This is a meeting gift from me. Take it as a snack and munch on it, it isn’t that valuable.”
The netizens were appalled.
——[Treating ginseng like a snack?]
——[I take my hats off to the big shots. Some people might mistake that ginseng to be a carrot.]
——[Previously, I saw a ginseng of similar size being sold for a six-figure amount…]
Elder Yun also sent someone to bring his gift over, which was a box of Tianshan snow lotus.
Before Xiang Yi could speak, he said calmly, “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Soak this lotus in water to brew floral tea for reducing the dampness in your body. It comes with beautifying effects.”
The netizens were appalled.
——[Snow lotus… Floral tea… Forget it, I’ll mute my mic.]
Elder Jing was the only one who was staring with his eyes wide open.
‘Ah, these two scheming old men! How could they secretly prepare gifts for her behind my back!?’
‘I’ve never tried to cozy up to anyone all my life, nor do I know how to communicate well with others. How could I have thought of bringing a gift for my good apprentice!?’
Seeing how surprised and flattered Xiang Yi was when she looked at the ginseng and snow lotus, Elder Jing was heartbroken!
‘How good can this thing be? What’s the point of these little gifts?’
He humphed and pulled out a card from the pocket of his Traditional Chinese garb. “There you go, come to our store and use this card to get whatever you’d like to eat!”
What he pulled out was clearly the card that was exclusive only to insiders, which could be used in all medicine hall branches under Jishi Tang Medicinal Hall!
The netizens commented: [Elder Jing is just like the domineering grandfather of the overbearing CEOs in novels!]
Elder Fang was dumbfounded.
Elder Yun was speechless.
‘Crap, he has outshone us!’
With his hands in his pocket, Elder Jing glared at Elder Fang and Elder Yun menacingly before turning to look at Xiang Yi with a childish but happy grin.
