Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 23 Food is the most important thing for the people

"Sister Yan."

Dugu Yan saw Ning Feiliu waiting in front of the clinic and smiled gently.

"You little rascal!" She stepped forward and slapped him on the shoulder, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, finally you've been waiting for me this time."

Seeing the girl laughing so happily, Ning Feiliu thought to herself, "This girl really loves to laugh."

From the moment they first met, in his memory, this girl was always smiling...

This is probably what happens when a girl smiles a lot; she's bound to have good luck.

After all, she has a titled Douluo grandfather who dotes on her, so isn't she just lucky?

"Sister Yan, here's your soul tool back." Ning Feiliu took out her treasure pouch and said, "Thank you."

When Dugu Yan saw that he took out the precious pouch without hesitation and returned it to her in a crisp and efficient manner, a smile appeared in her eyes.

As expected... she hadn't misjudged him.

She retrieved the precious pouch, a smile playing on her beautiful eyes. "Heh heh! Thank me, huh? How about treating me to a meal?"

Ning Feiliu paused for a moment, but then nodded and said, "Okay, I know a restaurant with pretty good food called Tian Dou First Flavor."

This was actually found in the original owner's memories.

Having lived in Tiandou City for so many years and receiving a considerable amount of pocket money each month, the original owner had a good understanding of the city's food, drink, and entertainment options.

"That place..." Dugu Yan pursed her lips, "I've eaten there too, it's just so-so."

"Then... shall we go to the Tiandou Royal Hotel?" Ning Feiliu asked.

"Ugh, going to eat there is such a hassle," Dugu Yan said with a smile, her eyelashes fluttering. "I'll take you to a delicious and cheap place!"

……

Five minutes later.

Ning Feiliu looked at Dugu Yan, who was resting her chin on her hand and staring at him, and said, "Is this the restaurant that you mentioned, Sister Yan, that's both delicious and inexpensive?"

The environment they were in now... all they could see was a clear blue sky, and a city road was not far away. All around them were rough wooden tables and chairs, and even some benches.

Yes, this is an open-air food stall.

"Boss, two bowls of meat noodles! And four more bowls of meat noodles separately!" Dugu Yan called out with a smile to the busy boss behind her.

"Yes, Miss Dugu." The boss obviously recognized Dugu Yan and knew her background, so he didn't dare to be negligent and quickly said respectfully.

"What? The young master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never eaten at a roadside stall before?" Dugu Yan turned around and teased Ning Feiliu.

"...Not really." Ning Feiliu shook her head helplessly.

Judging from the original owner's memories, the original owner had indeed never eaten at such a roadside stall.

But he was different. In his previous life, he had eaten at all kinds of restaurants, roadside stalls, and mobile vendors.

He was quite surprised that someone of Dugu Yan's status would eat at a roadside stall...

"Oh?" Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised, blinking her beautiful eyes. "A young master like you actually eats at a roadside stall?"

"What kind of young master am I?" Ning Feiliu shook his head. "I should be wondering why Sister Yan, with your status, would come here to eat."

"What's wrong with me?" Dugu Yan snorted twice. "What's so strange about me eating at a roadside stall? Anyway, nobody cares about me. My grandfather is always busy, either cultivating or going to the palace to pay homage. My parents also passed away early, so I can only wander around Tiandou City by myself."

Upon hearing her words, Ning Feiliu couldn't help but feel a pang of pity in her eyes.

So... Dugu Yan is really pitiful. Her parents died early, and although her grandfather loved her, he ultimately didn't have much time to take care of her...

After all, Dugu Bo had to suppress the toxins in his body and also enter the palace to suppress the poison that Qian Renxue had given to Emperor Xueye.

This is indeed something we are powerless to change.

"That's quite comfortable, but what was that meat noodle dish you mentioned earlier?" Ning Feiliu asked with a smile, changing the subject.

The topic wasn't left unresolved, since it wasn't exactly a good one.

"The meat of livestock, of course, refers to the meat of animals. However, this stall's noodles contain meat from various kinds of animals, hence the name 'livestock noodles'."

Dugu Yan enthusiastically introduced the noodles to Ning Feiliu, saying, "The noodles contain pork, beef, dog meat, rabbit meat, and chicken! The portions are huge, and the flavors are amazing! I absolutely love the noodles here."

"So that's how it is, quite complicated indeed." Ning Feiliu was amazed; she had never seen anything like it done.

Soon, the meat noodles and four bowls of meat with sauce that Dugu Yan had requested were served.

Seeing the expressionless boss covered in sweat and acting all respectful, it was clear that he was also intimidated by Dugu Yan's identity and had specially prepared Dugu Yan's portion early on.

Ning Feiliu started eating noodles with Dugu Yan. The taste was quite good, mainly because there was a lot of meat in them.

Although it still can't compare to the family banquet dishes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or the dishes of a big hotel.

But considering it's a roadside stall cook's skills, it's already quite good.

"By the way, Xiao Feiliu, didn't you say you were going to open a clinic?" Dugu Yan asked while eating noodles. "Where did you open your clinic? And how's your reading going?"

"I've only finished reading parts of 'The Illustrated Compendium of All Poisons' and 'The Complete Book of Herbs,' and I haven't read the rest of the books yet," Ning Feiliu said.

"Just reading it isn't enough; you have to truly understand it!" Dugu Yan said earnestly. "So it will be a long time before you reach the level required to open a clinic."

"We learn by doing," Ning Feiliu said with a smile. "Practice makes perfect, and this morning I helped an old lady who had been poisoned by the Water Dizzy Nether Serpent, so it was a good start."

"Water-dizzy Nether Serpent?" Dugu Yan was taken aback. "Wait... I remember that there are specific medicinal herbs and a formula for an antidote pill to make a suitable antidote pill for this venom, right?"

"Hmm, sour hemp root, combined with violet... after the medicinal materials are made into detoxification pills, I saw that the old lady's qi and blood were a bit weak, so I also got some prescriptions for qi and blood tonifying soups," Ning Feiliu said in detail.

"Wow, you remember that clearly?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

She actually didn't have a high level of knowledge in toxicology and pharmacology, even though her grandfather was Dugu Bo.

After all, she wasn't interested, and she didn't have the same talent for this as her grandfather, Dugu Bo. She was forced to learn some things by Dugu Bo, but she only gained a little understanding.

She can't even remember all the names of the herbs, let alone a prescription.

"Fortunately, my memory is still pretty good," Ning Feiliu said helplessly.

In fact, he has a photographic memory for almost everything that has triggered a mission, whether it is medicinal herbs or prescriptions.

He had memorized all of the hundreds of prescriptions and thousands of medicinal herbs, including their effects, growing locations, and side effects.
