Chapter 94: Hot Porridge

Chinese medicine was the quintessence of China. Countless people wanted to carry it forward, but now… Elder Jin was blindly advocating Western medicine and even belittling Chinese medicine.

Cheng Ling was naturally unhappy when she heard that. In addition, she had just had a dream, so she was not in good mood.

With so many factors together, Cheng Ling rejected Jin Wang.

Hearing that Cheng Ling rejected him so calmly and decisively, Jin Wang was a little upset.

Jin Wang originally thought that Cheng Ling should be flattered by him calling Cheng Ling personally, with his reputation. He didn’t expect Cheng Ling to reject him.

Jin Wang was a little uncomfortable, but he thought that he didn’t have to argue with this little girl Cheng Ling.

“Cheng Ling, since you’ve treated so many people, why don’t you treat me as well? What’s the big deal?”

Seeing that Elder Jin hadn’t realized his mistake, Cheng Ling spoke out. Her voice was exceptionally clear in the pitch-black silence.

It was cold.

“Elder Jin, you’re Grandpa Ding’s friend. Logically speaking, I should help you with this. I’m very willing.”

“But what you said yesterday was not only an insult to me but also an insult to traditional Chinese medicine.”

“If you don’t dispel your misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine, then you can’t completely trust me. I won’t accept this kind of doctor-patient relationship.”

“I can help you as a doctor, but you have to trust traditional Chinese medicine wholeheartedly.”

“You should be very clear about the principle of never suspecting others when you use them. I don’t beg you to think from my point of view, but you can’t interfere with my decision.”

Jin Wang didn’t say anything. Cheng Ling heard the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

“This… you’re right.” Jin Wang’s voice seemed to have aged a lot.

“It’s very late. Elder Jin, you should rest early.” After saying that, Cheng Ling hung up the phone.

Her current attitude was not groundless. When she first started practicing medicine, she had met such a customer.

He clearly did not trust traditional Chinese medicine, but he was attracted by the efficacy of the medicine Cheng Ling prescribed.

After that, Cheng Ling became his doctor, but he questioned her in every aspect.

In the end, Cheng Ling gave up, no matter how much this person had wanted to pay her for the consultation.

After a long day, Cheng Ling was finally sleepy now.

This time, she fell asleep and did not dream again.

The next day, her biological clock woke her up on time.

The sky was still bright. Cheng Ling was used to waking up early to take care of her crops before school.

In the past, she would skip class and come back to do farming. However, Xie Ying did not allow her to do so now, so Cheng Ling had to wake up early to take care of her crops.

As Cheng Ling’s vegetable seedlings were carefully cultivated and improved by her, the maturity period of these seedlings was much shorter than that of ordinary seedlings.

In just one night, there would be a great change.

Therefore, it was necessary to monitor their growth every day.

And supplement their nutrients according to their different conditions.

Cheng Ling changed her clothes and took the tools to walk around the field, observing the situation of each crop. She also measured the height of the newly planted varieties and recorded them for future research and improvement.

After she did everything, she conveniently picked a matured sunflower that was already full of melon seeds. She placed the sunflower on the table in the living room.

The fragrance of preserved egg and lean meat porridge drifted out from the kitchen.

Hearing the noise outside, Mi Duo poked her head out of the kitchen door.

“Cheng Ling, you’re up so early! Sit down and get ready for breakfast. I made porridge and fried some spring rolls just now.”

Cheng Ling raised her eyebrows. Mi Duo was not a shy person. She just called her name directly without asking if she was willing.

However, Cheng Ling never cared about these things. She nodded.

“Where’s Grandma?”

“She was washing up just now. She should be coming down soon.”

Cheng Ling helped Mi Duo take out breakfast from the kitchen and put it on the table.

At this time, Wang Ma came downstairs slowly.

“The preserved egg and lean meat porridge needs to be cooked for another two minutes. Sit down first.”

Xie Ying had also finished washing up and sat at the dining table.

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Xie Ying did not hide her admiration for Mi Duo.

“Mi Duo, you are really good at cooking. I, an old woman who has cooked for decades, might not be as good as you.”

“How can that be? Although I haven’t eaten before, your cooking must be very delicious. You guys eat first, I’ll go to the kitchen and bring out the porridge.”

Cheng Ling held Mi Duo’s hand.

“Let Wang Ma do it. You’ve been busy all morning.”

Wang Ma was about to sit down. But since Cheng Ling had said that, she reluctantly went to the kitchen.

The porridge was still very hot. Wang Ma placed two pieces of cloth on the handle to bring it out.

Cheng Ling was sitting at the table where the dishes would be served. When Wang Ma brought the pot of porridge and approached Cheng Ling, her hand unexpectedly slipped. The pot of steaming porridge was about to fall on Cheng Ling’s body.

Cheng Ling was quick-witted and quickly dodged it. Mi Duo was also quick-witted. She picked up a plate on the table and caught all the spilled porridge.

Otherwise, if the porridge dropped on the floor and splashed out, it would hurt people.
