70: Su Ran's Ancient Prescription Booklet

“How is it? Is it delicious?” Su Can asked with a smile.

The latter ate until oil dripped from her mouth, mumbling indistinctly, “Mmm, mmm, mmm, delicious, delicious, very delicious.”

Su Ran simply couldn’t stop eating. She finally understood why wealthy people enjoyed wild game so much.

Indeed, pure, natural, wild ingredients were the most premium and exquisite foods.

This also made her finally understand the popular saying online: high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods!

This meal was the most stress-free Su Ran had ever eaten.

There were no psychological burdens; thoughts of dieting and control were completely forgotten.

She just wanted to satisfy her cravings.

…

After eating for a full twenty minutes, Su Ran finally let out a satisfied burp, genuinely unable to eat any more.

In contrast, Su Can was still eating with great relish. He even uncorked a bottle of Fei Tian Maotai that she had brought, eating and drinking with a contented expression!

From time to time, he would crack open a walnut and eat it like a peanut.

Su Can was already trying his best to hold back. If he hadn't been afraid of scaring her, he would have eaten every last bone.

“I can’t eat any more.” Su Ran contentedly put down the last chicken bone in her hand, took a deep breath, wiped her hands, and rubbed her stomach.

“Full?” Su Can looked at Su Ran with a smile.

Su Ran nodded emphatically, “Full!”

“Alright!” Su Can chuckled, tilted his head back, took a big gulp of wine, grabbed the meat from the basin, and began to feast.

Crunch!

Gnaw, gnaw!

Su Can bit through the slightly finer bones in one go, chewed a few times, and then gulped them down.

He ate very quickly, and in a short while, he had cleaned up the remaining food.

This fierce way of eating astonished Su Ran.

“No wonder you have so much strength. With this way of eating and appetite, ordinary people truly can’t do it.” Su Ran shook her head, thinking to herself that she had truly learned something new this time.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Can called the monkey and taught it how to wash dishes and pots, which once again left Su Ran in a daze.

Finally, after everything was tidied up, Su Can and Su Ran sat down again, their expressions serious.

Su Can got straight to the point, “Miss Su, tell me, what kind of special medicinal herbs are you looking for, and where do you plan to find them?”

Su Ran pondered for a moment, then pulled out a small booklet from her handbag and pushed it in front of Su Can, saying:

“To be honest, I am from the Su Family of Jinling. The Su Family Pharmacy is actually an industry of our family!”

“My request to you this time is actually to develop a traditional Chinese medicine beauty industry. This small booklet, which I obtained through special channels, contains an ancient recipe for health and beauty!”

“This ancient recipe actually covers a very wide range, and the special medicinal herbs required are all listed at the back of the booklet!”

“However, these medicinal herbs are only found in remote, deep mountains and old forests, and they have extremely strict requirements for their age. For example, the wild ginseng mentioned in it must be at least thirty years old!”

“Oh?” Su Can raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but pick up the booklet to look at it.

To be honest, he didn't understand the ancient recipe at all, only seeing the various special medicinal herbs described at the back.

Perhaps knowing that Su Can didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine or ancient recipes, Su Ran generously took it out for him to see.

“Miss Su, I don’t understand. Your Su Family Pharmacy is doing so well, why do you want to get involved in such high-risk ventures?”

“It’s just an ancient recipe. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths? Do you know how much financial, material, and human resources are needed to develop a traditional Chinese medicine beauty industry?”

“And in the end, whether it will succeed is also an unknown!” Su Can said, frowning as he looked at Su Ran.

“You don’t understand!” Su Ran took a deep breath, a flicker of struggle in her eyes, and finally sighed, “Su Can, big families have their difficulties, and I have mine. Some things are inconvenient for me to explain to you!”

“I just hope you can help me. As for the remuneration, don’t worry, you will definitely not be treated unfairly!”

After Su Ran finished speaking, she looked at Su Can with complex eyes, her expression full of anticipation, and even a hint of pleading.

Seeing her like this, Su Can closed the booklet and said, “Alright, I’ll take on this matter!”

“But I can only promise to do my best. As for whether I can help you after doing my best, I don’t guarantee it!”

Su Ran nodded in surprise, “That’s great! Don’t worry, even if we end up with nothing, I will still pay you a considerable commission. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss!”

Su Can nodded upon hearing this, “Alright, but I need some time to make arrangements. After all, I have a contract with the hotel, and I need to stock up on mountain goods sufficiently before I can leave!”

“Mmm, mmm, this matter can’t be rushed in a day or two. We need at least seven days, otherwise, with the round trip and entering the mountains, two days will be wasted.”

“Even with the remaining five days, we might not even find a third of the medicinal herbs listed in the booklet!”

“So, it’s obviously impossible for us to gather all these medicinal herbs in a short time, and my secret studio is still researching this ancient recipe. Everything needs to be taken slowly!”

Su Ran was well aware of the difficulty of what she was trying to do, so she had enough patience.

As long as Su Can agreed to help her, they could take their time with this matter.

Afterward, the two of them spent a long time studying the booklet.

Actually, Su Ran was helping Su Can memorize the characteristics, habits, smells, and growth conditions of these special medicinal herbs.

Only by firmly remembering these characteristics would their search range in the deep mountains be narrowed, saving time and improving efficiency!

However, for Su Can, this was child’s play. With a sweep of his divine consciousness, he basically had it all figured out.

But to avoid being too shocking, Su Can deliberately cooperated with Su Ran. Anyway, with a beautiful woman accompanying him, it wasn’t boring.

In this collaboration, the two also became more familiar with each other.

Just like that, without realizing it, it was almost evening.

Su Can also pretended to have memorized most of it, which made Su Ran very happy.

“I didn’t expect your memory to be so good. You memorized such complex things in just one afternoon.”

Despite this, Su Ran was still slightly surprised by Su Can’s memory.

After all, she herself had spent a full two days memorizing the characteristics and growth environments of these things.

Moreover, she came from a medical family, so this was already her strong suit.

This showed Su Can’s extraordinary qualities!

“Alright, it’s getting late, I should head back. This matter, let’s keep it a secret for now. Even if Qianqian asks you, don’t say anything.”

“Don’t worry, since you’ve instructed me, I won’t say anything!” Su Can nodded.

“Alright then, I’ll head back now!” Su Ran then said goodbye and drove back to the city.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Xiaoli, riding in her younger brother’s car, also arrived at Qinghe Community with hatred in her eyes, staring intently at the passing vehicles.
