Among these four families, the Lee Family had the best medical skills, while the other three, the Yun Family and the Li Family, were slightly inferior, and the Song Family was the worst.
Had it not been for the support of the medicine fields, they would have long been expelled from the Four Great Medical Families.
Song Enzhi felt that Meng Chuyue would find out about this sooner or later, so she did not hide it and said, "Had our family’s Golden Needle Secret Skill not been lost, we would definitely be the leader of the Four Great Medical Families."
Instead of being the last.
Meng Chuyue, puzzled, asked, "Lost? When was it lost?"
"My father said it was when he was fifteen years old. My grandfather only had time to teach him half of the Golden Needle Secret Skill before he disappeared."
That was truly unfortunate.
Having disappeared for over twenty years, he was probably no longer alive.
She asked, "Is your grandmother still alive?"
"She is, she and my granduncle live in the medicine hall of our Song Family in the Imperial City District. Oh, Cousin Ennian is my granduncle’s youngest son, and his mother was my mother’s younger sister, which makes her my aunt. My aunt died fifteen years ago while trying to save my mother from drowning, so my mother loves Cousin Ennian very much."
She had thought that Su Xiufeng particularly doted on Song Ennian because of some mistaken affection, but it turned out to be this reason.
That made it somewhat less annoying.
In addition to chicken soup, Meng Chuyue had also prepared rice, pumpkin cakes, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, fish-flavored eggplants, and home-style lying eggs.
Song Ennian had originally just wanted to enjoy the dining atmosphere here, but was stunned by Meng Chuyue’s cooking skills.
She overate without realizing it.
Fortunately, only her stomach was full, not her mind.
When Meng Chuyue asked her if she should send some pumpkin cakes to Su Xiufeng, she resolutely shook her head, "No, my mom only eats the food prepared by Aunt Wu."
She did not want Meng Chuyue to be remembered by her mother.
Meng Chuyue suggesting that Song Enzhi take pumpkin cakes to Su Xiufeng was actually an attempt to mock Su Xiufeng.
Because Song Enzhi had just told her that Su Xiufeng had diabetes and was very careful about her diet, so she deliberately said that, also to prevent the spies Su Xiufeng placed around her from making a fuss about it.
Meng Chuyue hastily said, "Yes, I forgot about that. Hmm, apart from the pumpkin cakes that your mother and cousin can eat, only your father can eat the rest. Alas, if they can’t eat them, I won’t insist, I just accidentally made too much today, afraid of wasting, so I will make less next time to avoid this trouble."
Song Enzhi hurriedly intervened, "My dad’s appetite has always been poor; I will take these over for him to try first, and if he likes them, I’ll trouble you to make them in the future. Hmm, I won’t let you do it for nothing; I will properly thank you."
Meng Chuyue hurriedly waved her hand, "If he likes it, I’m of course willing to make it, just taking advantage of your family’s ingredients."
Song Enzhi was amused by her and quickly took the food to find Song Ting.
Song Ting had actually already eaten.
However, due to his poor appetite, he hadn’t eaten much.
When Song Enzhi brought over the fragrant food, telling him that Meng Chuyue had made it and it was very delicious, he immediately became interested and could no longer stop after tasting a spoonful of the chicken soup.
When it came to the pumpkin cake, Song Enzhi told him, "Chuyue originally let me bring some pumpkin cake for mother and cousin, but I was worried..."
She didn’t finish her words, but Song Ting understood her.
He agreed and said, "You did the right thing. Alas, I can finish it anyway, and if they say anything, just say I accidentally ate it all."
After finishing his meal, Song Ting sighed, "It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten this full, and also, my stomach doesn’t feel bad, that girl is really amazing. Enzhi, go tell her to also make me a meal in the future, and promise her, how about that, we will also protect her completely."
Song Enzhi agreed to go but Song Ting stopped her, "Tell her quietly about the breeding methods of our Medicine Field Soil chicken, as our first thank-you gift."
