They arrived at the place that held the activity. Most of them here were old men and women. Long Hu and Yu Qi were the only young couple here. The old men and women looked at the young couple.
"Oh, young married couple."
"It is unusual to have a young couple here."
"Boy, you are luckily having a wife like her. She is beautiful."
"Hey, the girl should feel luckily having a husband like him."
The old men and women praised the young couple. Long Hui was smiling when he heard that the old men and women thought they were a married couple. Yu Qi in another way was very embarrassed hearing the old men and women said they married. She was blushing.
"Oh, girl, you are blushing." The old woman said after seeing Yu Qi blushed in red.
"She was shy since we are newlywed." Long Hui made a lie.
Hearing this, Yu Qi hit Long Hui's chest. However, Long Hui only smiled at her. Yu Qi pouted.
"What? Are you angry because it is a lie? Don't worry. I will make it come true." Long Hui whispered to Yu Qi.
Yu Qi was shocked when she heard that. Long Hui smiled made her standing like she was bewitched by that smile. Until Long Hui caressed her face.
The cooking activity was started. The instructor told them, they could choose whatever in the recipe book given by the Herbs Garden. Yu Qi decided to cook the chinese herbal chicken soup.
Actually Yu Qi wanted to participate in this activity because she wanted to cook something for Long Hui. She did not want a normal cook. Because she was familiar with the herbs, this might help her to cook something different for Long Hui. Yu Qi asked Long Hui to wait. Long Hui wanted to help her but she refused and said she wanted to cook something to her.
Yu Qi selected the herbs that you wanted to cook inside her soup. She chooses chinese wild yam, codonoposis root, red dates, solomon seal, goji berries, dried longan, astragalus. Each of them had a different benefit to the body.
The instructor came and looked at the herbs that Yu Qi choose. She asked Yu Qi about why did she choose those herbs.
"I choose goji berries because it benefits the liver which manifests in improving eyesight especially if caused by malnutrition, vessel expansion, and inflammation. For the astragalus, it can strengthen the inner energy of the body by boosting the immune system, increasing the energy level and building up the resistance particularly when your immune system has been lowered by overworking and stress. As for the red dates, it can slow down the growth of cancer cells. It also can protect the liver, inhibit cell mutation and improve the strength of the muscles. Dried longan can..."
"Okay. Enough. You did know about the herbs." The instructor stopped Yu Qi when she wanted to explain more.
"Yes. I'm studied about herbs." Yu Qi explained to the instructor.
"Oh, I see. So, do you have a master?" The instructor asked.
"Yeah. It's Tang Jiang Man."
"What?" The instructor was shocked when she hearing the name.
"Huh? My master is Tang Jiang Man." Yu Qi really confused about why the instructor was acting like this.
"Master Tang Jiang Man is well known in this herbs industry. I opened this place because of his support. I did not know he took a student." The instructor told Yu Qi.
"Master took me as his disciple about two and a half years ago." Yu Qi said.
"I see. No wonder you have knowledge about the herbs." The instructor nodded several times.
"Well, sir, may I know your name? Perhaps?"
"Owh, sure. My name is Mu Hong." Mu Hong told Yu Qi his name. "Okay, okay. You can start cooking now. Your husband is waiting anyway." Mu Hong stepped away from her table.
Hearing that sentence, Yu Qi was blushing. Those people still thought she and Long Hui were a married couple. Putting the embarrassing moment, Yu Qi started to work her soup. Like the skilled cook, she prepared the ingredients needed for the soup faster she could. Even the old women around her were shocking her speed.
"This girl really knows her way in the kitchen."
"What's a bless getting married to this kind of girl."
"If she did not get married yet, I would like to introduce her to my grandson."
The last sentence heard by Long Hui. His mood became bad. The temperature around him drop. Seemed he needed to keep acting to prevent his beloved from getting snatched by someone.
"You. Do you think she would choose your grandson if she gets someone like him as her boyfriend? Stop dreaming."
The sentence cold down her bad mood. Yeah, that's right. She did not blind. She would choose him after all. Long Hui keeps battling inside his mind.
