Chapter 494 seems to work now too.
"Ahem, not that much. This is a local specialty that a friend brought me from out of town. It's my teacher's wife, Professor Mu, who is also my teacher. I gave her ten jin (5 kg), and she said it tasted good. So I thought I'd give some to our teacher too. We have to treat everyone equally, right?" Lin Mo said with a dry laugh, trying to downplay the issue.

"Huh? Shouldn't you call our teacher's wife 'teacher's wife'?" Shen Qingnan asked, somewhat puzzled.

The spouse of a male master is called "master's wife," while the husband of a female master is generally called "master's husband." The former is common knowledge, but the latter is something many people are unaware of.

Clearly, Lin Mo was just one of many ordinary people. He had no idea that his female master's husband was called "Master's Husband." Fortunately, Professor Li wanted to take him as a disciple, and Professor Mu was unwilling to let him go. This resulted in Lin Mo calling both of them "Teacher," and thus the titles of "Master's Wife" and "Master's Husband" were no longer used.

"Professor Mu is my teacher's wife. In fact, I met Professor Mu first, and then through Professor Mu's introduction, I met our teacher. So, they are both my teachers, aren't they?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Shen Qingnan's mind went blank for a moment: "Huh? You can do that?"

Wait a minute, isn't your teacher's wife a calculus teacher? Do you actually have such a strong talent for math?

As Professor Li's disciple for many years, Shen Qingnan was not his direct successor, but he was trained according to the standards of a successor. He even had a formal apprenticeship, so he naturally knew what his master's wife did.

It can be said that her mentor's wife, Professor Mu, is a well-known expert in the industry nationwide, and has made considerable achievements in her professional field.

However, he was rehired after retirement due to his advanced age. There were countless schools that offered to rehire him, but Professor Mu ultimately chose Jiangning School, which is close to his home. In particular, Principal Tang has a close relationship with Professor Mu, which is why he was invited to go there.

It's said that he's being rehired to teach students, but in reality, it's just a way to retire somewhere. After all, Professor Mu doesn't supervise graduate students; he only occasionally gives public lectures.

Although it is a job that is similar to retirement work, it is very important to a school, as it represents the strength of the teaching staff.

As for whether the students would do it or not, that was not her concern. If the old lady were to take it seriously, all the students in their school would be considered fools, rotten wood, illiterate, and intellectually deficient in Professor Mu's eyes.

After all, they were just an ordinary second-tier university. Who would come here if they were truly talented? Even now, Professor Mu still can't understand why so many students can't do calculus, which is so simple.

Not to mention Lin Mo, even his senior sister Shen Qingnan's intelligence wasn't considered very high in Professor Mu's eyes. Of course, this was mainly because Shen Qingnan's talent lay in traditional Chinese medicine.

Among the people Lin Mo knew, perhaps only Liu Ruyan could be considered an ordinary person in Professor Mu's eyes.

After all, this girl once said when she listened to Professor Mu's lecture at the internet cafe that she could understand it after listening to it only once.

It was precisely because she knew how capable Professor Mu was that Shen Qingnan was so surprised. After all, in her opinion, if Lin Mo's talent wasn't strong, Professor Mu would never have accepted him as a student.

Just like her teacher, Professor Li, if Lin Mo hadn't been so talented, why would Professor Li have wanted to train a young person who wasn't a medical student to inherit his mantle?
"Um, math, this question has stumped me." Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face immediately contorted with pain. The thought of calculus, which he had once struggled to learn, gave him a terrible headache.

"Is this difficult for you? Then what about your master's wife?" Shen Qingnan couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo sighed: "Sigh~~ When the next semester started, Professor Mu's assistant had something come up and couldn't come. She grabbed me on the playground to take her place and accompany her to a meeting in the city. Although I'm not good at math, I do have some talent for making tea."

The tea I brewed was very popular with my teacher, which made her proud among her colleagues. The next day, I met Professor Li. Coincidentally, I also knew a little about massage. After Professor Li found out, he wanted me to learn with him.

My teacher initially disagreed, but later discovered that I simply didn't have the aptitude for calculus, so they had no choice but to give me up for adoption to Professor Li, and that's how I ended up having two teachers."

"Adopted?" Senior Sister Shen Qingnan's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked.

Lin Mo: "Well, that's roughly the gist of it!"

"You think you can get your teacher's wife to take you as a student just because you know how to brew tea?" Shen Qingnan still couldn't quite believe it.
It's just making tea. No matter how good you are at making tea, can you really make something fancy out of it?

“Yes, I have studied it. Although I haven’t taken any formal exams and haven’t reached the top level in the country, I still have professional-level skills,” Lin Mo said calmly.

Hearing him casually utter the words "professional level," Shen Qingnan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

While tea ceremony qualification certificates may be a niche field in China, tea culture is not. From national leaders to ordinary people, everyone has the habit of drinking tea. The fact that Lin Mo can claim to have professional-level tea ceremony skills speaks volumes.

Moreover, Shen Qingnan considered himself to be a good judge of character. Although he hadn't known Lin Mo for long, he knew that his junior brother wasn't the type to speak carelessly.

It's worth noting that he also knows massage and bone setting, and was praised by her teacher as an expert. She herself had even tried it. It's quite remarkable that he could achieve such success at his age in two completely unrelated fields.

Little did Shen Qingnan know, he only knew the tip of the iceberg. Lin Mo was skilled in many other things, including cooking and sketching, all of which were top-notch.

"What, you don't believe me? It's just that we don't have tea sets here, otherwise I could demonstrate it for you right here," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Qingnan rolled her eyes at him: "I believe it, of course I believe it, but does this have anything to do with the rice you took today?"

If I'm not mistaken, that's Jingyang rice. These ten kilograms are worth nearly 100,000 yuan. Add to that the ten kilograms my teacher's wife had, and frankly, the amount is enough for a prison sentence!"

Lin Mo:
I never expected that after he said so much, I, his senior sister, wouldn't get confused and would even know how to grasp the key points.

"You noticed?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat surprised.

You should know that even Miss Yuan didn't recognize this rice when he didn't remind her, mainly because it's a very niche product.

After all, no matter how expensive the rice is, it makes very little difference to the taste. Ordinary Wuchang rice is sufficient. Of course, this excludes the extremely wealthy families, but it is clear that although Professor Mu and Professor Li's families are well-off, they are not at that level.

But his senior sister, Shen Qingnan, recognized him at a glance, which shows she has some skill.

"Looks like you're not simple either, Senior Sister. Although I'm a fake rich kid, you look like a real one," Lin Mo said with a smile, taking the initiative. Hearing this, Shen Qingnan shook her head helplessly and said, "My family is well-off, Senior Sister, but not to this extent. I've only eaten Jingyang Rice once before and seen what it looks like raw."

You see, I'm a doctor, so my sense of smell is very sensitive. I can naturally identify things that are edible. Plus, I had a very strong impression of it at the time, so I remember it very clearly. The appearance and taste of your rice are almost identical, which is why I was able to recognize it.”

Shen Qingnan never denied the fact that her family was well-off, and she spoke about it frankly.

"I see. But don't tell the teachers about this. It's just for them to try. It's all rice, after all, it's food in the end," Lin Mo nodded and then gave instructions.

Shen Qingnan rolled her eyes at him: "Don't worry, I'm not that free. You have the means, why would I bother with that? It's not my money!"

When Professor Li returned, the two acted as if nothing had happened, and then Professor Li took Lin Mo to learn various pharmacological knowledge.

He could keep up with this thanks to his excellent memory, but when it came to teaching him how to take a pulse, Lin Mo clearly felt the strain.

At noon, Lin Mo was eating lunch with Professor Li and her senior, Shen Qingnan, in the cafeteria while receiving hands-on instruction from them. It was a time of immense pressure for her.

If it were a normal student facing these two at the same time, they would feel pressure even if they did nothing. Lin Mo, on the other hand, did not feel pressure. The only problem was that his lack of talent made it very difficult for him to learn.

"Okay, we'll rest tomorrow. If you're having trouble learning, you can come to my house and I'll explain it to you slowly. Don't feel pressured; traditional Chinese medicine isn't something you can learn so easily."

Having a good memory might make things easier, but what truly determines whether you can become a qualified traditional Chinese medicine practitioner is experience.

In the cafeteria, Professor Li seemed to sense that his student was under a lot of pressure lately, and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

There was no way around it; Lin Mo was under immense pressure studying with Professor Li while bearing the halo of a 'genius.' After all, others might not know, but he certainly did, how did he acquire this so-called 'genius' title?
"Okay, teacher, I'll try my best," Lin Mo nodded.

"Buzz~Buzz~"

Just then, Lin Mo's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was another unknown number, which made him frown.

But he still chose to answer the call.

"Hello, is this Lin Mo, the owner of Wednesday Restaurant?"

As soon as the call connected, a man's voice came from the other end.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned, thinking it would be another oddball like yesterday, but still said, "Hello, I am [your name], and you are [your name]?"

"Hello, we are from the Market Supervision Administration. Someone has reported that your store is selling overpriced dishes. We are already at your store. Do you have time to come over?" The man on the other end of the phone said slowly and in a very businesslike tone.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback, not expecting it to be an official department.

"Well, the prices of the dishes in my restaurant are a bit high, but they are all clearly marked. There is no cheating or overcharging of customers. Is there some misunderstanding?" Lin Mo asked.

Firstly, he knew that although the prices of the dishes in his shop were high, they were all based on the principle of clearly marked prices, so he naturally did not feel that he had done anything illegal.

Moreover, not to mention first-tier cities like Shanghai, even in Jiangning, many private restaurants have very high prices. A meal can easily cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan. If high prices are illegal, these restaurants would have gone out of business long ago.

Secondly, he trusted not only himself but also Liu Ruyan. After all, she had handled all the necessary procedures for his restaurant, from the storefront to the business license, and wouldn't have left such an obvious loophole.

"Here's the thing, we received a report and have to come and investigate. It's just routine, so please cooperate," the man on the other end of the phone continued.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Lin Mo hung up the phone.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Professor Li asked upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh: "Teacher, something came up here that I need to go and take care of, so I'm afraid I won't be able to teach this afternoon."

"Your shop? You opened a shop? What kind of shop?" Shen Qingnan asked from the side.

Lin Mo nodded with a wry smile: "A restaurant. Well, I'm about to graduate, so I opened a restaurant with a friend. It saves me from having to look for a job. I'll just consider it starting my own business. But it seems there's been a problem at the restaurant, and they want me to go and take a look."

Hearing this, Professor Li nodded and said, "It's alright. You should focus on your business first. If you need any help, you can tell me, and I'll help you figure something out."

By the way, Xiao Nan, you don't have classes this afternoon. Go with your junior brother. He's still young and a kid; there are some things he might not be able to handle. Go along and see what's going on.

"No problem, teacher. I'm free this afternoon." Shen Qingnan nodded and agreed immediately.

Seeing this, Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed: "No need, teacher, this is too much trouble. I can handle it myself."

“What’s the trouble? You two are fellow disciples. In ancient times, you would be considered siblings. It’s normal for fellow disciples to look after each other,” Professor Li said with some dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnan, standing to the side, replied expressionlessly, "What you're saying is ridiculous. In ancient times, even senior and junior disciples could get married. What does mutual care among fellow disciples have to do with ancient times?"

At this moment, Lin Mo muttered to himself, "Um, it seems to work now too."
