It seemed that this family has been medicinal cuisine experts since generations.
Looking at the residence, a problem suddenly crossed Lisa’s mind. She turned to look at Jungkook solemnly. “I didn’t bring any gifts. Will I get chased away?”
Jungkook was completely tickled by this young woman. He shook his head and replied gravely. “Don’t worry. Old Mr. Yi doesn’t care about formalities.”
Lisa touched her nose. Just as she was about to speak further, Hoseok came over with two boxes of gifts after parking the car.
The butler led them into the main hall courteously. “Young Master Jeon, Old Master Yi is cooking in the kitchen. Have some tea first. He’ll come over soon.”
Jungkook nodded to him politely and the butler took his leave.
Lisa sat on the mahogany chair and raised her head to glance around. She complimented the surroundings genuinely. “The place is pretty interesting.”
Jungkook poured some tea for Lisa and pushed the cup towards her. “Old clans have a lot of history. The Yi family’s ancestors were palace medicinal cuisine chefs. Although times have changed, they still command an unshakable status in the city.”Lisa picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, she said sadly, “Why does it sound like I passed up a perfect opportunity?”
Jungkook looked at her.
Lisa coughed uneasily. “Nothing”
Before long, Old Mr. Yi walked up to them, clad in an apron with the freshly prepared medicinal dishes. An energetic old man followed him.
The old man was none other than Old Mr. Pei.
Old Mr. Yi placed the food on the table and greeted Jungkook before pointing to Lisa and telling Old Mr. Pei beside him. “This is the talented little lass I was telling you about.”
He turned to look at Lisa and beamed. “This old geezer sells Chinese medicine. Just call him Old Mr. Pei.”
Lisa’s eyes landed on Old Mr. Pei. Although he sold Chinese medicine, judging from his aura, it probably was not as simple as that. She stood up to bow politely. “Hello, Old Mr. Pei. I’m Huo Lisa.”
He stroked his beard and nodded kindly to Lisa. “Hello.”Then he turned to look at Jungkook. “Looks like you’re recovering well.”
“Mhm. It’s all thanks to the medicine you gave me,” replied Jungkook.
Old Mr. Pei shook his head and smiled.
“Stop standing around. Time to try my new dishes. They will lose their texture if they turn cold,” said Old Mr. Yi before turning to look at Lisa with his eyes gleaming particularly brightly.
Lisa did not hold back. She picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece into her mouth.
“How is it?” asked Old Mr. Yi quickly.
It was clearly apparent that he could not wait to hear her feedback.
Old Mr. Pei looked at Lisa in slight surprise. Old Mr. Yi rarely admired anyone. It was Old Mr. Pei’s first time seeing him so impressed by someone so young.
Could she really be gifted in pharmacology?
Lisa put down the chopsticks and raised her brow. “Can I speak honestly?”
Old Mr. Yi’s lips twitched. “I hate it when people lie to me.”
Lisa nodded seriously. “Fine. If you add 100 grams of oriental raisins and 4 grams of musk kernel powder, it will be better.”
