The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Chapter 170 Chinese New Year 2

He had been in the mountains for a few days. Except for a few days, he and his niece's meals were usually very simple, never more than three dishes, and meat dishes were even less.

He didn't expect that his niece's New Year's Eve dinner today would be so rich, almost catching up with the New Year's Eve dinner in their Medicine King Valley.

Shen Ruolan saw her uncle standing at the gate, she looked at him and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued to ask him, "Uncle, do you miss home?"

Uncle Shen came back to his senses, smiled at Shen Ruolan and said, "No, I'm just a little surprised that tonight's New Year's Eve dinner will be so rich."

After Shen Ruolan heard what Uncle Shen said, she looked at him with a guilty look on her face and said, "It's all because of Ruolan's incompetence that I have wronged Uncle Shen these days."

Uncle Shen scolded Shen Ruolan, "Look at what you said, girl. Am I a greedy person? I was just sighing that my niece is so capable. She can make such a rich New Year's Eve dinner even though she has nothing."

Shen Ruolan smiled and said to Uncle Shen: "It's just some wild game we found in the mountains. I hope you don't despise it, Uncle."

Uncle Shen looked at the dishes on the table and said sincerely, "This table of dishes is delicious and tasty. Lan'er is so thoughtful, how could I dislike it?"

After saying this, he walked to the table and sat down.

Just as everyone was about to start eating, Shen Qi's voice suddenly came from outside: "Mm, it smells so good, what delicious food did Lan'er make for the New Year today?"

When Shen Ru heard her grandfather's voice, she quickly stood up and went to the door and shouted, "Grandpa, you're back."

As soon as Shen Qi entered the house, he saw that everyone was about to have dinner. He looked at his granddaughter and said with a smile: "See, grandpa said that he would come back to spend the New Year with you. I didn't break my promise, did I?"

Shen Ruolan smiled and said to her family, "Grandpa, if you stay so late, I'm afraid you will say something wrong."

Shen Qi walked to the table and sat down, and said to his granddaughter in a good mood: "It's better to come at the right time than to come early."

When Shen Yinghao saw his father coming back, he stood up and called out to him, "Father."

Shen Qi nodded to his eldest son and asked, "Big brother, how many days have you been here?"

Shen Yinghao said to his father: "Father, I have been here for more than ten days."

"Well, let's eat. We can talk about other things after the New Year." Shen Qi said.

After finally finding his daughter's descendants, he didn't want to make his granddaughter unhappy during the New Year.

"Yes." After listening to his father's words, Shen Yinghao sat down silently.

After Shen Ruolan and the others arrived, she picked up a cup of tea and said to everyone with a smile: "Ruolan is very happy today to celebrate the New Year with you all. Due to limited conditions, I will use tea instead of wine to toast everyone. I wish you all a happy New Year and good health in the coming year!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and drank it all.

Ji Han and his group were sitting at the same table, and many of the stewards, both big and small, also raised their glasses to Shen Ruolan and said, "Thank you, Master."

After everyone finished talking, they all drank their tea.

Shen Qi also served tea to his granddaughter and said, "Lan'er, come and have a drink with grandpa. I also wish my Lan'er good luck in the future and happiness in her heart."

Shen Ruolan poured a cup of tea and smiled at her grandfather, "Thank you, Grandpa. I also wish you good health and happiness!"

"Okay, let's all be healthy and safe together." After Shen Qi finished speaking, he laughed in a good mood.

Just as he was laughing, his eyes suddenly became moist and red. It was such a beautiful scene. How wonderful it would be if his daughter was still alive!

Uncle Shen understood his father's mood, and he quickly changed the subject, "Father, Lan'er has been busy all day making these dishes, why don't you try them and see how they taste?"

After Shen Qi heard what his son said, he adjusted his mood, picked up a piece of spicy chicken and took a bite. He hissed because of the spiciness and asked his granddaughter, "Lan'er, what did you put in this dish? Why does my mouth hurt after eating it?"

As doctors, they are always very cautious about what they eat. If there is anything wrong, they will stop eating immediately.

Shen Ruolan listened to her grandfather's words. She took a look at the dish he picked up and saw that it was spicy chicken. She told him the truth: "Grandpa, because there is not enough oil and salt, I added some herbs to enhance the flavor. There are star anise, grass fruit, spicy tiger, etc...."

After she finished speaking, she asked Shen Qi tentatively: "Grandpa, you collect herbs all year round, have you ever seen a spicy tiger?"

Lahu is chili pepper, which the ancients called it Lahu, but she is not sure whether people at that time discovered its medicinal value.

After Shen Qi heard what his grandson said, he looked down at the dish on the plate and saw that there were indeed a lot of medicinal herbs in it. He believed it. He picked up the pepper and asked Shen Ruolan, "The spicy tiger you mentioned should be this, right?"

He recognized all the spices on the plate, but he had never seen this so-called spicy tiger.

Shen Ruolan nodded to him and said, "Yes, that's it."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "This spicy tiger can not only be used as a seasoning, it also has many medicinal functions. Anyway, I like it very much."

When Uncle Shen heard that something that would make your mouth hurt after eating also had medicinal effects, he asked curiously, "Lan'er, what are the effects of this spicy tiger?"

Shen Ruolan picked up a piece of chili pepper and explained to her grandfather and uncle, "Lahu is hot in nature and belongs to the spleen meridian. It has the effects of dispelling cold and dampness, dispelling wind and relieving pain. It can be used to stir-fry dishes and can also stimulate appetite. It is a very good seasoning for cooking."

When Uncle Shen heard that peppers have so many benefits, he picked up a pepper and looked at it for a long time, then said, "I have been collecting herbs all my life, but I didn't expect there are some I don't know."

Shen Qi glared at his eldest son and said, "There are still many things you don't know. Learn from Lan'er in the future."

In Shen Qi's opinion, Shen Ruolan had received guidance from their Shen family's ancestors, and her medical skills must be as good as his son's.

You know, the Shen family has been practicing medicine for more than ten generations. Although each generation has a good foundation, they are still a little bit worse than their ancestors.

Uncle Shen was speechless after hearing what his father said. Even if he wanted to spoil his niece, there was no need to belittle him like this.

In his opinion, Shen Ruolan’s medical skills were indeed very good, but compared to an old doctor like him who had studied medicine for half his life, she was probably still a little inferior. However, in order not to spoil his father’s fun, he still gritted his teeth and replied, “Yes, father is right.”

Shen Ruolan glanced at her uncle who looked helpless, and said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, you are embarrassing me by saying this."

Shen Ruolan paused and continued, "Ruolan has only learned the basics. If we really want to learn medical skills, she still needs to learn more from you and your uncles."

Shen Ruolan's words made Uncle Shen feel very comfortable. He didn't wait for his father to say anything, and said on his own initiative: "Well, if Lan'er has anything he doesn't understand in the future, just come to me."
