Chapter 32 I'll Still Ask for Your Help Later
"Stop messing around and keep eating!"
Tao Huilan was lying on the bed, recalling the crazy scene with He Daqing last night. Hearing this, she glared at Yi Zhonghai unhappily.
"Eating meat can't stop your mouth!"
"Hui...Lan...Oh..."
Yi Zhonghai looked anxious. He wanted to say something, but because his tongue was severely numb, he couldn't speak for a while and could only scream anxiously.
Tao Huilan finally realized that something was wrong.
"Old Yi, this...Brother He said that if his recipe is not prepared correctly, it will cause poisoning. Are you poisoned?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai also remembered it.
Yes, at the beginning, He Daqing kept saying that some of these herbs were poisonous. Because Yi Zhonghai had been eating and drinking with He Daqing for the past few days and nothing happened, he didn’t take it seriously.
He never thought that He Daqing was fine when cooking, but he got poisoned the first time he cooked!
This is so unlucky!
"Wait a minute, I'm going to find Brother He!"
Tao Huilan had wanted to find He Daqing for a long time. Now that the opportunity was before her, she couldn't wait to get dressed, get out of bed, and go straight to He Daqing's house.
Seeing his wife's quick movements, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
After all, she is your wife, she knows how to care for you.
The north room of the central courtyard at this time.
He Daqing had already chased He Yuzhu and He Yushui to the backyard. After eating and drinking, he was hugging Qin Huairu, ready to reminisce about the past, when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the yard.
Along with this, there was Tao Huilan's shouting.
"Brother He, Brother He, come and have a look, my old Yi... seems to have been poisoned!"
"Poisoned?"
He Daqing, who was ready for the final battle, quickly let go of Qin Huairu when he heard this.
I thought to myself that Yi Zhonghai was really impatient. Today he made the medicine without my supervision. Isn't this courting death?
Human life was at stake, so He Daqing didn't have time to explain to Qin Huairu. He put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
"Come on, take me to see it!"
He Daqing glanced at Tao Huilan calmly and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's house.
However, Tao Huilan looked at He Daqing carefully.
Qin Huairu stayed overnight today, and Yi Zhonghai's clothes were obviously a little messy. Could these two have done something in the house?
Thinking of this, Tao Huilan felt a little uncomfortable.
It was as if the treasure that he had found with great difficulty was suddenly stolen.
Before she knew it, He Daqing had already arrived in front of Yi Zhonghai, and Tao Huilan followed him. Only then did she remember the man who cared about her.
"Brother He, my old Yi...how is he doing?"
Tao Huilan asked with concern.
"If it's just numbness, it's not a big problem."
He Daqing checked Yi Zhonghai's symptoms, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tao Huilan and said,
"Do you have any honey at home? Make some water for him to drink and he should be fine."
Among the herbs he asked Yi Zhonghai to pick, there was one called aconite, which had the effect of warming and nourishing the kidney yang, but was extremely toxic. Even He Daqing had to fry it for an hour and then stew it for another hour, and he didn't even dare to cover it with a lid, before the toxins could be dispersed.
Yi Zhonghai is also stubborn. He is willing to give up his life just to have a child.
Honey is a very rare thing in this era. Fortunately, because they have no children, Yi Zhonghai's family has been living a pretty good life in the past two years.
Tao Huilan also likes to eat roast pork on weekdays, which requires honey. There happened to be some at home. After hearing what He Daqing said, she hurriedly found the honey from the cabinet, soaked it in water, and poured it into Yi Zhonghai's mouth.
"How's it going?"
He Daqing looked at Yi Zhonghai.
"My tongue is not as stiff anymore, but it's still a little numb,"
Yi Zhonghai said embarrassedly.
I almost poisoned myself while making a medicinal food. If this matter were to get out, I would probably be laughed at.
"It's not a big problem."
He Daqing patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder and said,
"Then keep drinking this honey until the numbness goes away. Old Yi, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you should not be too anxious about everything. Look, without me, you would have gotten into trouble, right? From now on, let me help you with this kind of thing! Otherwise, if you poison yourself before the baby is born, how will Huilan live?"
"Yes, yes, I will have to ask you to make medicine in the future!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded like pounding garlic.
This time he was really convinced.
The same thing, He Daqing made it not only delicious, but also had a strong medicinal effect. But when I did it myself, it almost cost me my life.
It seems that I will have to continue asking He Daqing for help in the future.
"It's okay, go to bed early!"
He Daqing waved his hand and left Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Brother He, we're in trouble!"
Watching He Daqing leave, Tao Huilan hesitated to speak. She had a lot to say and in the end could only say a polite word.
She turned around and looked at Yi Zhonghai, and couldn't help but vent all her anger on Yi Zhonghai.
"Old Yi, what can I say about you? You insist on doing it even though I tell you not to."
"Is having a baby more important, or is your life more important?"
Yi Zhonghai, "..."
At this time, Yi Zhonghai had no temper at all. Instead, he particularly enjoyed his wife's anger.
After all, he was not stupid. He could tell that Tao Huilan still cared about him very much, so he dared not talk back. He could only nod and apologize.
When He Daqing returned to the room, he saw Qin Huairu had already put on the clothes he had taken off with great difficulty.
"Daqing, what's going on? Why are there still people poisoned?"
Qin Huairu looked confused.
"Nothing."
He Daqing sighed helplessly, sat down next to Qin Huairu, and started to fight again.
"The man next door, Yi Zhonghai, has been married for so many years but still has no children, so he asked me to give him a prescription to try. But he didn't know how to make the medicine, and he got poisoned!"
"Huh? Is it so serious?"
Qin Huairu was also startled, but she quickly reacted and looked at He Daqing in disbelief.
"Daqing, do you know medical skills?"
"How could I understand?"
He Daqing stroked Qin Huairu's softness and said proudly,
"Before I worked at Fengze Garden, I was cooking Tan's cuisine. I don't know if you've heard of it. It was specially made for the rich and powerful, and there were a lot of medicinal dishes. I only knew a little bit at that time, but as for curing illnesses, I didn't know much about it."
“So you have this experience…”
Qin Huairu moaned, thinking that the man she had chosen was indeed amazing. Fengzeyuan was already amazing enough, but she didn't expect that He Daqing had even cooked in a restaurant like Tan's Cuisine. She really had made the right choice!
Feeling the constant movement of those big hands, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel it, and she collapsed in He Daqing's arms.
