“Du Gang, don't contact the Meng and Jiao families for now. Wait until I recover, and then I will specifically investigate what exactly happened back then.”

The two were discussing Zhao Xinyu's matter in the ward, while outside, Zhao Xinyu had already started barbecuing. Although they hadn't started eating yet, the aroma of the grilled meat was already making the Luo family members unable to resist.

Not just the Luo family members, even the middle-aged men responsible for protecting the Luo family and those brought by Du Gang gathered around, constantly swallowing their saliva. This made Zhao Xinyu think to himself that if it were wartime, this barbecue might make them all defect to his side.

Once the eating began, the Luo family members completely lost their refined demeanor. Not just the younger generation, even the four siblings including Luo Jianguo disregarded their image and competed with the younger ones for the grilled meat.

When Zhao Xinyu brought out a large pot of braised carp, the Luo family members were even more astonished. In their family, what kind of delicacies couldn't they enjoy? Even ordinary carp or exotic delicacies were available at any time.

But this braised carp made them all exclaim in delight. The old man, who had just woken up, ate three carp and drank a bowl of fish soup. This was because they were worried that his body couldn't handle it after just waking up. If he were allowed to eat freely, Luo Jianguo and the others wouldn't know how many carp the old man could eat.

Compared to the Luo family, the bodyguards of the Luo and Du families, these tough men, were quite refined. They didn't fight over the food but evenly distributed the grilled meat and braised carp that Zhao Xinyu had prepared.

However, after the distribution, the grilled meat and carp were quickly devoured. After eating, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Xinyu with eyes full of longing.

Because of a barbecue and a pot of braised carp, the three generations of the Luo family became more familiar with Zhao Xinyu. Luo Jianguo's son, Luo Xiao, came to Zhao Xinyu after eating.

“Xinyu, let's open a barbecue restaurant together. I'll cover all the expenses. We'll only sell barbecue and braised carp, and we'll split the profits fifty-fifty.”

Du Mengnan giggled, “Brother Luo Xiao, I've already said this. This guy has his own farm-to-table restaurant. Now, in Pengcheng, countless people want to eat his braised carp, but he doesn't even go to the restaurant every day. His restaurant has a long queue every day. Don't even think about partnering with him.”

Seeing Luo Xiao's wry smile, Du Mengnan's eyes twinkled, “Brother Luo Xiao, we're leaving tomorrow. Why don't you ask him to make some Qingu Qincheng for your wife?”

When Du Mengnan said this, everyone in the Luo family was stunned. What is Qingu Qincheng?

“Mengmeng, what is Qingu Qincheng?”

Du Mengnan didn't speak but pointed to her own face.

This immediately made the Luo family's women look at her with intense interest. “Mengmeng, the cosmetics you use are Qingu Qincheng. I wanted to ask you when you came, but I've never heard of this brand.” Luo Yan pulled Du Mengnan and asked.

“Aunt Luo Yan, Qingu Qincheng is not a cosmetic, but a medicinal ointment he formulated. It can repair scars. Just use a little when washing your face, apply it for ten minutes, and then wash it off.”

“Xinyu, is what Mengmeng said true?” Luo Yan asked with intense interest.

Zhao Xinyu nodded, “It's a medicinal ointment I formulated. I'll make one for each of you when I get back, and Mengmeng can have someone bring them over.”

“How much?”

“We charge 1,600 yuan per bottle, which can last about a month.”

“So cheap.”

“Aunt Luo Yan, it's not cheap. We offered him 10,000 yuan, but he only symbolically charged 1,600 yuan.”

“Brother Xinyu, I like the rose scent. Can you formulate it?” A sweet-looking girl, about 18 or 19 years old, asked coyly.

“It should be possible. What main scents do you like? Write them down, and I'll try to formulate them.”

“Xinyu, can Qingu Qincheng change scents?” Du Mengnan asked anxiously.

“The one you use is a mixed scent. Although it's light, it suits your age.”

Seeing Zhao Xinyu say this, Du Mengnan's expression eased. “Let me see it when you formulate it...”

The next day, Zhao Xinyu checked the old man's pulse again and confirmed that he only needed rest to recover. He then proposed to leave.

Luo Jianguo asked how much he should pay, but Zhao Xinyu waved his hand. Because of Du Gang's relationship, Luo Jianguo didn't insist and left his phone number, asking Zhao Xinyu to call him when he came over.

Although he didn't take any money, Zhao Xinyu left with a full harvest. Besides the Luo family's promise, he took several boxes of unmarked cigarettes and alcohol.

On the private jet, Du Gang looked at Zhao Xinyu with a flickering gaze. “Xinyu, your knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is so profound. I think you should focus on TCM. TCM is declining, and it needs young people like you to carry the torch.”

Zhao Xinyu nodded, “Old Du, I understand. After I get back, I'll review the basics of TCM. I'll get my TCM practice license in a while.”

Du Gang couldn't help but smile. “You didn't graduate from a TCM university, so how do you not have a practice license?”

“At that time, I had an incident, so I didn't take the exam.”

Du Gang couldn't help but shake his head. It was fortunate that Zhao Xinyu cured the old leader. If something had gone wrong, the Luo family would have viewed him differently knowing he didn't have a practice license.

Back in Beiliangding, Zhao Xinyu's life returned to peace. While cultivating and studying the Golden Treasury, he also reviewed his TCM books from university and spent his free time formulating Qingu Qincheng.

Initially, he had accumulated a lot of experience in formulating Qingu Qincheng, so it was much easier to formulate different scents now.

In less than a month, he formulated sixteen different scents of Qingu Qincheng, and he felt that these scents would definitely meet the Luo family's needs.

He then ordered a batch of antique-style bottles online, filled them with the different scents of Qingu Qincheng, and labeled them by hand.

Formulating Qingu Qincheng for women might be beneath some TCM masters, but in the process, Zhao Xinyu gained a deeper understanding of herbs and a new perspective on TCM principles.

When Du Mengnan came again, Zhao Xinyu gave her a bottle of each scent of Qingu Qincheng. Seeing the sixteen different scents, Du Mengnan was completely stunned.

She believed Zhao Xinyu could formulate different scents, but she never thought he could create sixteen.

After experiencing each scent, Du Mengnan was even more amazed. Each of the sixteen scents had a main scent, but they were not single scents. They were a mix of multiple scents, with no harshness at all. Each gave a comfortable and elegant feeling.

Seeing Du Mengnan's slightly dazed expression, Zhao Xinyu suddenly felt a sense of achievement, which made him aspire to greater heights.

“How about it, do you like any of the scents?”

Du Mengnan suddenly looked at Zhao Xinyu, “Which one do you think suits me?”

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly, picked up a bottle labeled with the scent of Yumei Orchid, and said, “This one should suit you. The scent is elegant and can keep your mind clear.”

A warm current suddenly surged in Du Mengnan's heart, and her gaze toward Zhao Xinyu changed. This Yumei Orchid scent was exactly what she liked, and she never expected that Zhao Xinyu would choose the same one as her.

Taking the Yumei Orchid scent, Du Mengnan looked at Zhao Xinyu, “I hope this one is unique.”

Zhao Xinyu laughed, “Sure, I'm easy to talk to, but I need some form of repayment.”

The next moment, something unexpected happened. Du Mengnan leaned over and lightly kissed Zhao Xinyu on the cheek.

Both of them were startled, and their faces turned red almost simultaneously. Du Mengnan giggled, “I've given you a reward. This is my first kiss. If you dare to give the Yumei Orchid scent to anyone else, I won't let you off.”
