Chapter 184: Medicine for Physical Conditioning
Of course, you can also take it back and have the Dingbei Marquis's doctor check it out first, or ask Madam Pei for her opinion."
Seeing that Hualei didn't take it, Bai Yunhe opened the wooden box again, handed it to Hualei, and said with a smile, "Miss Hua, don't worry, it's not poisonous. How about you just pick one and I'll eat it for you to see?"
Uh, Hua Lei was embarrassed and said quickly, "No, Mr. Bai, I don't suspect that there is something wrong with this pill, I just feel... I'm sorry." Hua Lei shook her hands and refused.
Bai Yunhe closed the wooden box and said loudly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You're not as shameless as me. I just opened my mouth and asked you for such a delicate and delicious snack." Bai Yunhe pointed to the egg yolk pastry on the table.
He then said, "I want to give you this pill myself. Besides, it's not certain whether it will work or not. Just take it. Don't feel any psychological burden. This is not a precious medicinal material. It's just a prescription given to our mansion by the Imperial Hospital. It's relatively rare and is quite effective in regulating children's health."
Seeing that Hua Lei still had a look of refusal, he continued, "Aren't you worried about Xiao Yuan? If there is a chance to help Xiao Yuan improve his health and become healthier, would you refuse? I know that Dingbei Marquis Mansion also has various nourishing soups and medicines, but isn't there a saying that goes, "Use it to achieve the best, and get it to be good above all else", just in case this pill works for Xiao Yuan. If not, I won't give it to you next month."
After a pause, he continued, "Yun Hai has been taking this pill since he was very young, and his physical foundation is very good, just as you said. Xiao Yuan is still young, so it's not too late to start conditioning now. Don't you want to condition Xiao Yuan's body?
I dare say that even if this pill is ineffective, it will definitely not have any other adverse effects on the body. My family has been using this pill since my father. You can ask the doctor of Dingbei Marquis Mansion or any doctor in other clinics to check this pill. "
At this point, Hua Lei felt embarrassed to refuse. She took the wooden box with both hands, looked at Bai Yunhe, and said, "Mr. Bai, I don't want to accept this pill not because I think there is something wrong with it. I just feel embarrassed. I already owed you a favor, and now I owe you another favor. I'm afraid I can't pay it back."
"Miss Hua, why didn't you pay me back? Look, this unique egg yolk pastry is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted, and this ingenious little bamboo basket is also a handicraft I've never seen before. Sometimes things have a price, but feelings are priceless, right? So I think Miss Hua must have paid me back for my first favor."
Bai Yunhe was smiling and wearing a dark blue student uniform. He stood there casually, like a big brother next door. He said familiarly, "If Miss Hua feels that this pill needs to be repaid, that's fine. Then...how about sending me an egg yolk pastry later this month?"
Um, is this a competition with egg yolk crisps?
Hua Lei didn't know what to say. She looked at the carefree Bai Yunhe, who didn't look like he was calculating at all, so she spoke honestly, "Mr. Bai, the first batch of salted duck eggs on my farm has been used up. The salted eggs that were pickled two days ago will take some time before they can be eaten, so I can't make egg yolk pastries in a short time."
Bai Yunhe looked at Hualei's serious, honest and embarrassed look, and smiled in his heart. He pretended not to care and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. As the saying goes, good things are never too late, and good things are never too slow. I can wait slowly. Besides, these egg yolk pastries are enough for me to eat for several days."
You...you...you...Hua Lei was stunned in the spot. Didn't you really hear my refusal? I told you that I couldn't make egg yolk pastry during this period, but you are still waiting? Let me ask you, do you want to eat egg yolk pastry as a meal?
Bai Yunhe gently pinched her back with his fingers, rubbing softly as if pinching the cheeks of a flower bud.
"Mr. Bai, if you eat too much egg yolk pastry, you will feel sick of it." Hua Lei advised with a chuckle.
"It's okay. I can eat the original flavor in the morning and the osmanthus flavor at night. I won't get tired of it. I just like sweet food." Bai Yunhe suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and said seriously.
"Mr. Bai, this egg yolk pastry is salty."
"It's okay, I like salty food, too." Looking at Hua Lei's clenched lips, Bai Yunhe added in a gangster tone, "I like sweet and salty food, too." Then, he successfully saw Hua Lei's eyes wide open.
"Hey, Sister Hua, why are you here? Are you here to pick up Xiaoyuan and me? That's great." Rong Jue, sweating profusely, rushed into the school building carrying a school bag.
The chubby Zhou Ziren followed in breathlessly. When he saw Hua Lei, he was also surprised and called out, "Sister Hua, why are you here today? You haven't been to our school for a long time." His tone was so familiar as if Hua Lei was his real sister.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Yunhe wearing a dark blue student uniform. The two of them stood up and saluted politely. "Hello, senior brother." Bai Yunhe nodded slightly.
Bai Yunhai walked in slowly from behind, looking very proud. When he saw Hua Lei and his third brother, he paused, restrained his pride, and politely bowed to Hua Lei, "Hello, Sister Hua."
"Hello Yunhai." Hualei bent slightly and smiled at Yunhai.
Xiao Yuan also walked into the school building at an unhurried pace with a calm face. When he saw Hua Lei, a smile broke out on his calm face. He called out happily, "Sister." He turned around and saluted Bai Yunhe, "Hello, senior brother."
"Wow, Third Brother, why are there so many egg yolk pastries? Are they for me?" Yunhai said in surprise when he saw two bamboo baskets of egg yolk pastries on his desk.
"You wish." Bai Yunhe didn't give any face to his younger brother. He picked up the basket with one hand and handed it to Ah Cheng at the door.
"Third brother..." Bai Yunhai said angrily. The other three people's eyes were attracted.
Hualei smiled, took out some loose egg yolk pastry from the bag, handed one to each of them, and said, "Eat it, it's freshly made."
"Wow, thank you Sister Hua, thank you Sister Hua." Several people thanked her in unison. Xiaoyuan took the egg yolk cake from Hualei's hand, and looked at the bamboo basket in Ah Cheng's hand, a little confused. He looked at Hualei, then looked at Yunhe next to Yunhai, took a bite of the egg yolk cake, and said nothing.
"Rong Jue, Xiao Yuan, do you have anything else to take? If not, we are going back." Hua Lei said from the side. The two stuffed a few books on their desks into their book bags and said goodbye to Yun He. Yun He smiled and said, "We are leaving too."
