Chapter 1024: 1010: Making Noodles

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1010: Making NoodlesAfter staring at it for ages, Su Xuan felt his head was starting to hurt. Honestly, these ancient texts are a real headache. Even when translated, they’re still hard to understand, and Su Xuan couldn’t tell if it was real or not.

This was why he was reluctant to study the book—it was just too complicated, impossible to understand at a glance. After staring at it for a long time, Ye Kai tapped his head; it seemed the so-called omnipotent Baidu couldn’t solve this one.

“Bodyguard, what are you looking at? I thought you were omnipotent, but it turns out you also have things you don’t understand?”

Shu nudged Su Xuan aside and sat down next to him, looking curious.

“Uh, Shu, even Baidu claims it’s all-knowing, but there are things it can’t find either. I’m not an encyclopedia. Forget it; I’ll study it slowly later!” Su Xuan felt a headache coming on and thought to himself, oh Yang Zhixin, I’m really going all out to cure you.

“Eh, bodyguard, are you looking up information related to epilepsy? Do you have epilepsy?” At this moment, Shu asked curiously like a curious child.

“You’re the one with epilepsy, your whole family has epilepsy. How could I, such a handsome guy, have epilepsy? I’m telling you, I’ve been researching this recently, so I hit a few snags. Little brat, you wouldn’t understand. Go eat your fried rice.”

Su Xuan said, exasperated. He was actually stuck on some translated terms; this must be an ancient book, with medicinal and acupoint names differing from those used today. Xiong Lin didn’t know these either and could only translate them over.

“Bodyguard, what does ‘Walking Lotus’ mean?” Shu asked with thick skin, curious about the handwritten notes left on the table by Su Xuan. Of course, he was even more curious about Su Xuan’s handwriting, which was really beautifully crafted, more like a piece of art.

“How would I know? Isn’t that what I’m looking up on Baidu for? But even Baidu is useless; it can’t find it.”

Su Xuan thought to himself that this ‘Walking Lotus’ couldn’t be some kind of lotus flower, but he’d never heard of treating epilepsy with a lotus.

“Walking Lotus refers to the Acupoint Yongquan, literally ‘Lotus underfoot.’ In the old days, it mainly referred to the acupoint in the center of the foot. The ancients often used ‘lotus’ to describe feet, like in ‘three-inch golden lotus.'” Shen Ruoqiu explained softly, and Su Xuan was taken aback, slapped his head, and said.

“Right, how could I be so dumb! This must be referring to the Yongquan point, connecting through to the Dan Tian, and then spreading through the blood vessels!”

In that instant, Ye Kai was thrilled. With one piece of the puzzle solved, he instantly resolved a dozen other issues, so excited he could hardly contain himself. Looking at Shen Ruoqiu, he excitedly asked.

“What’s ‘homesick wanderer’ mean?” Su Xuan asked with excitement all over his face.

“‘Homesick wanderer’ needs angelica, referring to the herb Angelica,” Shen Ruoqiu explained softly, and Su Xuan was thrilled. He never thought it would be like this! These ancient people were really tricky; there were acupuncture points and medicinal meanings here. He had just been searching for ages and found nothing useful. Now it made sense; how could he have found anything if he was searching for this meaning online?

“Boss, can you explain these for me? There’s a lot.” Su Xuan said as he handed over his notes, still feeling excited. Shen Ruoqiu was really a master at this, knowing all these things he hadn’t even thought about. No wonder he didn’t know.

“Uh, I need to sleep now, otherwise, I’ll feel really uncomfortable with an empty stomach later.” Shen Ruoqiu quickly said, now following this unruly bodyguard Su Xuan for a few days and learning some bad habits. She was getting hungry now and seeing Shu gobbling down food with such gusto made her envious, but of course, she wasn’t thick-skinned enough to ask Su Xuan to cook for her.

“I’ll cook for you, there’s no more rice, would you like some noodles? I’ll make noodles for you right now, boss, I’m so proud of my noodle skills!”

Su Xuan said hurriedly. He’s no fool; seeing Shen Ruoqiu drool like that, he realized the boss was looking for food. Shen Ruoqiu weakly asked.

“Didn’t Shu say you only know how to make fried rice? Maybe you should just make fried rice.” Previously, she had tasted the fried rice Su Xuan cooked, and it was not greasy and very delicious, so she was hoping to have it again, especially now seeing Shu eat so heartily. It really made her feel so hungry.

“Uh, boss, that stuff will give you heartburn. I’ll make you noodles. I was just teasing Shu. How could I only know how to make fried rice?”

Su Xuan said and went to the kitchen to start cooking, while Shu rolled her eyes and said.

“Su Xuan, you liar, you tricked me again.” When Su Xuan came out of the kitchen after about ten minutes, holding a steaming bowl of beef noodles, the aroma filled the entire restaurant instantly. Not to mention the taste, just the aroma made Shu’s mouth water.

“I want some too, I want some too.” Shu said energetically, her little tummy now in full rebellion.

“Shoo, shoo, go away, this isn’t for you. It’s a bribe for the boss.”

Su Xuan set the noodles on the table. By now, Shen Ruoqiu had already finished translating and handed it back to Su Xuan, saying.

“These are translated; take a look.” Shen Ruoqiu said and couldn’t wait to get to the table. This girl was quite the food enthusiast, and when she saw the big bowl of visually and aromatically appetizing noodles, she instantly believed Su Xuan’s claim of being omnipotent; the dish was really well-prepared. Just by looking at it, it seemed to burst with flavor.

When she took a bite, Shen Ruoqiu couldn’t believe it. To be honest, maybe it was because she was too hungry, or maybe because Su Xuan’s noodles were genuinely delicious, but when she tasted it, it was truly delicious. Noodles are something quite easy to make, but the problem is everyone can make it taste different. Su Xuan’s meat-flavored noodles today really blew Shen Ruoqiu’s mind with flavor.
