A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Chapter 23 Accidentally Blown Up the Kitchen

For the past two days, Gu Feng has been studying diligently!

However, his learning style was quite different from others. Others his age would stay in school and listen to the teachers' lectures, aiming for Tsinghua University or Peking University.

And Gu Feng? His study place is at home, where he lazily lies on the sofa, holding the remote control and watching TV, his only goal being to become a qualified modern person.

Television is a wonderful thing.

It taught Gu Feng many things that he would have had to pester Su Man'er for half a day to understand.

For example, a carriage without horses isn't called a horse-drawn carriage, but a sedan chair, and there are various brands for it. They are powered by an energy source called gasoline.

As for the internal structure of the car and its starting principle, he felt it was unnecessary to understand, and it wasn't taught on television.

He also learned that the place he had disrupted that day was a nightclub, and that the group of men and women swaying back and forth under the dim, flickering lights was not called being obsessed, but rather dancing, which was a fashion trend.

However, Gu Feng still felt that going out dressed so scantily was embarrassing and indecent.

Anyway, after watching TV day and night for two days, he learned many things he had never heard of before, and now he vaguely feels like a half-modern person.

By the evening of the third day, he couldn't take it anymore, because that was all the television could teach him!

Looking at the clock on the wall, Su Man'er still had more than two hours before she would be back.

Thinking about her still-unresolved issues, Gu Feng decided to go to the pharmacy to get her some medicine.

He picked up the two hundred yuan that Su Man'er had specially left for him, along with the key, and went out.

Stepping onto the main street, the rows of shops and the bustling streets filled Gu Feng with energy, sweeping away the pent-up frustration of being cooped up in the house for the past two days.

But those women dressed even less than the girls in the brothel still made his ears burn and his heart race!

These modern women are so bold!

Such a short skirt, a top that exposes half of her chest, and she dares to walk so boldly down the street, it's really... too good-looking!

Gu Feng hadn't been wandering around for long when he saw a large pharmacy, so he went inside.

The pharmacy was large and had a full range of Chinese and Western medicines, but there weren't many customers at this time.

In front of a three-meter-tall cabinet of traditional Chinese medicine, a female shop assistant is standing on a ladder organizing the Chinese medicine in the drawers.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

When the female shop assistant saw someone enter the store, she was about to come down the ladder.

Gu Feng waved his hand with gentlemanly manners, "No rush, you go ahead with your work, I'll take a look first!"

The weather in June is scorching hot!

The female shop assistant wasn't actually wearing anything under her white robe, but rather a short skirt.

Gu Feng stood in front of the counter, enjoying the view, so his words "let's take a look and then decide" really meant exactly what he said!

However, just as he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, the conversation coming from the inner room of the pharmacy caught Gu Feng's attention.

"Manager Du, why is last month's revenue lower than the previous month's?"

"Boss, that's because..."

"I don't care what your reasons are, if the accounts are still like this next month when I check, you can quit your job as manager! Of all the dozen or so pharmacies I own, the one you're in charge of has the worst performance!"

"I...I will definitely try my best!" Manager Du didn't argue anymore, but simply asked, "Boss, was the medicine I gave you last time effective?"

"That medicine... Ugh, that useless Director Qian, he didn't even know which cup to put in, and he put the medicine in my cup, making me horny all night..."

Manager Du was somewhat surprised, "That drug works for men too?"

"You'll know if it works for yourself once you try it!" the boss scoffed, then asked, "By the way, do you have any more of that medicine?"

"Boss, you want more?"

"Of course I want to! That woman asked me out again. Damn it, I didn't succeed last time, but this time I'm determined to get her!"

"Haha, then I wish the boss all the best!"

"..."

Mind your own business and eat more; it's good for everyone!

This was Su Man'er's earnest advice to Gu Feng at the dinner table, so although Gu Feng overheard their conversation and knew they were plotting something shady, he still ignored it.

Just then, the female shop assistant came down the ladder.

Gu Feng didn't need a prescription; he rattled off the names of the medicines, listing over thirty different Chinese herbs and their dosages, leaving the female shop assistant completely bewildered and sweating profusely!

……

When Su Man'er got home from get off work, she smelled a medicinal fragrance as soon as she entered the door. She was surprised and delighted because this man, who could do nothing but watch TV, had actually learned to use kitchen utensils without any instruction!

Upon entering the house, I was even more pleasantly surprised to see a table laden with dishes; this man can cook!

It warmed my heart, it really warmed my heart!

This is the first time a man has ever been willing to cook for me!

But when she stepped into the kitchen, she was dumbfounded.

The kitchen was a complete mess, as if a Star Wars battle had taken place. The range hood had been blown apart, with one half still hanging precariously on the floor and the other half on the ground.

Rice grains and broken dishes were scattered everywhere—on the walls, the stove, and the floor. The man was also in a sorry state, squatting on the ground cleaning up with rice all over his face and head.

Seeing this, Su Man'er was both amused and exasperated, and asked, "Gu Feng, what's wrong? What happened?"

Gu Feng raised his head, a pitiful, bitter smile appearing on his stunningly handsome face, before recounting what had happened.

It turned out that after buying medicine at the pharmacy, Gu Feng also went to the market to buy some vegetables!

He had already learned how to use a gas stove from watching TV. After decocting the medicine, he started cooking.

Everything is going very well!

Gu Feng was even a little proud, thinking that his learning and comprehension abilities were quite strong!

It was only when he finished cooking the last dish that he realized he had forgotten to cook rice!

He searched under the stove for a while and found a very peculiar pot. The lid was tightly sealed to the pot body, and he had to turn it three times to the left and three times to the right to open it, but he made do with it.

After the rice had been cooking for about ten minutes, the small cone on top of the pot started hissing and steaming, and it kept spinning, which startled Gu Feng!

He checked and found nothing unusual, so he was relieved.

After waiting a few more minutes, the aroma of food began to waft out from the small hole in the awl!

Gu Feng thought it wasn't fully cooked yet, so he waited a while longer, but the aroma of the rice turned into a burnt smell.

The rice is burnt!

Gu Feng panicked and immediately turned off the heat. He then quickly rotated the pot lid, trying to open it to see how burnt it was.

The tragedy occurred after only half a turn!

A deafening boom!

The entire pot lid shot up, and all the rice inside burst out of the pot.

If Gu Feng hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would definitely have been seriously injured by the explosion.

Despite this, he was left looking disheveled and utterly humiliated!

After hearing the whole story, Su Man'er was both amused and exasperated.

"Gu Feng, that's a pressure cooker. You have to release the pressure before opening the lid. If you open it without releasing the pressure, you'll be lucky if you don't get blown up! I haven't used this pot in ages. Haven't you seen me cooking rice for you in a rice cooker?"

Gu Feng scratched his head. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You didn't even ask me!"

Su Man'er was very frustrated because this guy seemed smart, but he was like an idiot when it came to common sense.

It seems I need to find some time to properly explain to him how to use all the home appliances!

"Okay, okay, stop messing around. We'll clean up after we eat!"

Seeing that Gu Feng was still squatting on the ground cleaning up, she pulled him up and reached out to pick off the grains of rice stuck to his body!

Gu Feng stood there, staring blankly at Su Man'er.

"What are you looking at?"

Su Man'er was initially quite composed, but when she felt his strange and intense gaze, she began to feel uneasy. Her heart started racing, and her face flushed.

Gu Feng exclaimed sincerely, "Sister, you're so beautiful!"

Su Man'er hesitated for a moment, rolled her eyes at him, and then turned and walked out.

Gu Feng was stunned. Did he get angry over a compliment?

A woman's heart is truly unfathomable!

In fact, Su Man'er wasn't angry at all; she was so happy she was practically cramping up!

What woman doesn't like to hear nice things?

What woman doesn't like to be praised by the man she admires!

However, after the initial sweetness, a bitter feeling inevitably arose in her heart!

The gap between me and him is just too big!

A woman five years older than her mother is like an old mother!

Whenever she thinks about this, she feels extremely uncomfortable!

Age is not the problem, the problem is distance!
