Chapter 358 - The Herbal Cuisine Without the Taste of Herbs

“This dish has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

Eating it is good for the skin and all that.

Taste it first.”

“Then this one is good for the body.

It can dispel cold, improve blood circulation, and eliminate some potential diseases.”

As Wu Kexin tasted, Chen Yang continued to explain.

Upon hearing that one was for beauty and skin care, Wu Kexin immediately reached out with her chopsticks and took a bite.

After one bite, Wu Kexin’s eyes went wide.

She had never eaten such delicious herbal cuisine before!

It was so fragrant, so delicious!

The most important thing was that there wasn’t a hint of the herbal taste, which felt quite magical!

“Chen Yang, you’re too amazing!

How did you manage to make this herbal cuisine without any taste of herbs?”

Wu Kexin was very surprised.

She had eaten many herbal dishes before but, no matter how delicious, they all had a significant taste of herbs.

That was something unavoidable.

After all, most ingredients in herbal cuisine are medicinal herbs.

However, Chen Yang’s dish had absolutely no taste of medicinal herbs.

She was quite amazed.

Seeing Wu Kexin’s astonished face, Chen Yang knew his dish was a success.

“I don’t know how I did it.

I just followed the recipe exactly as it was written.”

Chen Yang said, smiling, indicating he was not sure himself.

Hearing Chen Yang’s explanation, Wu Kexin didn’t say anything.

It was quite normal.

The recipe was definitely passed down from the older generation; not knowing why it was so effective was also quite normal.

“Wow, your recipe is really magical, it tastes super good.

I just don’t know how effective it is.”

Wu Kexin exclaimed again, then couldn’t wait to taste it once more.

“The effect should be pretty good.

It’s much stronger than what’s available on the market.

Eat today, and you’ll know tomorrow.”

Chen Yang said calmly with a smile, then also sat down to have lunch together.

This lunch, Wu Kexin enjoyed very much.

Because of the herbal cuisine.

And because Wu Kexin knew one was for beautifying, she focused on that dish specifically.

The beauty-enhancing dish was the first to be emptied.

After a full meal, Wu Kexin didn’t go back to the village center but stayed at Chen Yang’s house for the afternoon.

The two occasionally played in the backyard and walked around the farm.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Every evening at eight, it was time for Chen Yang to deliver lobsters to the snack shop.

But he had a meeting today.

Hence, Chen Yang called the old man at the snack shop to let him know he couldn’t make the delivery today and asked if he could pick up himself.

The old man immediately agreed.

And asked Chen Yang to send him the location.

He would be there by eight.

Chen Yang sent the address and put away his phone.

Soon night fell, and it was time for dinner again.

Wu Kexin asked Chen Yang to make the beauty-enhancing herbal cuisine again.

“You’re already so pretty; what more beauty do you need?

Eat anymore, and you’ll turn into a fairy!”

Chen Yang teased her with a laugh.

Hearing such praise, Wu Kexin was naturally overjoyed.

But she also said, “Who would complain about becoming even more beautiful?

Hurry and go make it for me.”

Chen Yang was somewhat helpless at Wu Kexin’s request.

He had no choice but to agree and went to the kitchen to prepare another beauty-enhancing herbal dish for her.

After a comfortable meal, Wu Kexin was quite expectant.

“I don’t know if it’ll work tomorrow, but if it does, I’ll mooch off you for a month, and you’ll cook for me every day.”

Wu Kexin joked.

Hearing this, Chen Yang was somewhat panicked.

“Don’t do that.

If you mooch for a month and I have to cook herbal cuisine for you every day, I’m not afraid you’ll get sick of eating; I’m afraid I’ll get sick of cooking.”

Chen Yang hastily said.

“Yeah, right.”

Seeing that Chen Yang was displeased, Wu Kexin gave him a cold look, “So stingy, it’s just some medicinal food.

If it bothers you that much, I won’t let you have it for free.

Remembering I owe you a meal, I’ll find a chance to pay you back.”

Wu Kexin comfortably lay on Chen Yang’s rocking chair, looking very relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang’s eyes darted around.

“Pay me back?

How will you pay me back?”

As he spoke, Chen Yang’s gaze involuntarily wandered over Wu Kexin.

Noticing Chen Yang’s look, Wu Kexin immediately blushed and glared at him.

“What are you thinking!

I meant I’d treat you to a meal, to a feast in the county!”

Hearing that the so-called payback was this, Chen Yang immediately lost interest.

“Then forget it, I’m not interested in big meals.”

Chen Yang sat there, clearly very uninterested in the so-called feast.

Wu Kexin felt a bit irked.

She knew what Chen Yang was thinking—just his usual scheming.

“No wonder Ruoxi called you a pervert!

Now I think so too!”

Wu Kexin bitingly spat out these words, then turned her head away, looking outside instead of at Chen Yang.

“Hehe.”

Chen Yang just chuckled and said nothing more.

Around 7:40, almost 8:00, Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao had already moved the lobsters to Chen Yang’s doorstep.

“Village head.”

Seeing Wu Kexin there, the two greeted her warmly.

“Uncle Niu, Elder Xiao.”

Wu Kexin also stood up and greeted them.

Then, Uncle Niu turned to Chen Yang.

“Yang Zi, there’s a meeting at the head of the village today, you’ll be going, right?

What about these lobsters?

Aren’t you going to deliver them?”

Uncle Niu asked.

Regarding the meeting tonight, Wu Kexin had notified the other villages, and naturally, all the residents of Liuhu Village had been informed.

“I’m not delivering them.

Someone from the city will come to pick them up.

After they are picked up, I’ll head to the village head for the meeting,” Chen Yang said.

“Oh, that’s how it is.

Then we’ll go ahead to the village head and wait for you.

You guys hurry over.”

Smiling, Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao then left Chen Yang’s house directly.

Chen Yang pulled out his phone to check the time, and it was already past 7:40, nearing 8:00.

Listening to the bustle, the village head seemed lively.

It looked like a lot of people from nearby places had gathered there.

It wouldn’t be nice to have everyone waiting for him if he didn’t get there by 8:00.

Thinking this, Chen Yang was about to make a call to hurry the old man.

But coincidentally, just as Chen Yang was about to dial, his phone rang.

It was the old man calling.

Chen Yang immediately answered.

“Yang Zi, we’ve already reached your village.

Where is your house?

Can you come out and meet us?” the old man said on the phone.

“Just drive straight ahead, I’ll be standing by the roadside waiting for you,” Chen Yang instinctively looked towards the highway and then replied.

“Alright, I’m coming over.”

With a beep, the old man hung up the phone.

Then, not half a minute later, Chen Yang heard the sound of a car.

Shortly after, a van about the size of Chen Yang’s van, stopped in front of the clinic.

The old man and the owner of a late-night snack bar jumped out of the car.

Since everyone was still waiting at the village head, Chen Yang didn’t feel like chatting much with the old man.

He quickly settled the money for the lobsters, helped load them into the van, and then he and Wu Kexin hurried to the village head.
