Chapter 336- Hateful (讨厌鬼)

Jing Yun Zhao had already expressed that she wasn’t Old Xu’s disciple, but in their eyes, even if she wasn’t, she should still be the friend of Elder Xu’s close friend’s daughter or granddaughter/ Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to receive this kind of honor!

But no matter what, they never thought that she was actually a regular person from nowhere!

However, not everyone knew of the name ‘Jing Yun Zhao’, but most of the people present were relatively young and usually followed the information on the web. That was how they recognized her.

Ji Shan Shan gave her a look of heavy suspicion. She felt like this change with Jing Yun Zhao was too big.

She too had gone onto the web and read the articles related to her. However, those videos weren’t edited nor processed, so the image, though clear, still couldn’t compare to those on television. Thus, she only felt that Jing Yun Zhao was fairly pretty back then, while her attention was mostly directed towards her birth.

Understandably, seeing Jing Yun Zhao after such a long time had passed, she couldn’t recognize her at all, and because of Cui Jun, she even stuck the label of ‘hateful girl’ on her with superglue.

On the other hand, now that she knew about Jing Yun Zhao’s background, Ji Shan Shan was instantly thrown off.

Thinking back to when she was watching the video, she had fiercely insulted and scolded that scumbag adoptive father of hers. Watching Jing Yun Zhao being stoned and the resulting injury made her upset and unbearably sad for a long while. She had even begged her parents to send Jing Yun Zhao some commonly used medicine.

Although the medicine was subsequently donated by Jing Yun Zhao and her school, she still felt that she had done her part in displaying her love, so she felt better about it.

Still, she never thought the day where she’d meet Jing Yun Zhao face to face would come!

The number of people who had recognized Jing Yun Zhao weren’t many, but three or four was enough. The surrounding people asked around a little more and everyone suddenly turned solemn.

Ji Shan Shan’s feelings were complicated, the disparity was huge after all.

There were also other people who didn’t really catch the full of the situation that felt relieved.

Since she neither had a strong family background nor was she Elder Xu’s apprentice, then her purpose for coming here was very likely for other reasons. It might even be just like what Ji Shan Shan had said, that the invitation was something she had picked up or stolen…

Almost in the same instant, many people amongst the crowd reduced their politeness towards her by half.

“So you’re called Jing Yun Zhao. Ji Shan Shan donated something to you previously, it seems like you two are really fated,” Cui Jun surprisingly spoke up.

Ji Shan Shan suddenly felt nervous. Looking at her, she changed her tune, “It’s just a some medicine, if I knew she was this capable, I wouldn’t be so stupid! Oh right, I asked you a question just now, reply quickly. You wouldn’t not know how to use these things at least, right?!”

Jing Yun Zhao raised a brow and found something interesting.

Although this Ji Shan Shan had a bad temper and her words were direct and hard to like, she wasn’t a bad person.

“I know about seventeen methods of processing, such as: roasting, smoking, drying, broiling, simmering, frying, calcining, refining, preparing, heating, flying, volt, pounding, scorching, sunning, airing, and exposure.

As for the ginseng you mentioned just now, there are actually many kinds, with different methods of processing for each of them. Dang Shen indeed needs to be processed with warm water in winter and cold water in spring, summer and autumn, but this doesn’t apply to the rest. such as Ku Shen (Sophora flavescens), Dan Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), and Xuan Shen (Scrophulariaceae)…”

“As for the supplementary ingredients…” Jing Yun Zhao gestured at the wheat bran and continued, “Wheat bran is sweet and smooth in nature with a neutralizing effect. After stir-frying it, it will have an aromatic odor, which can invigorate the stomach and correct the stench. It is generally used to make medicines that invigorate the spleen and stomach as well as those with irritating and fishy smells, such as: fried atractylodes, fried silkworm, fried Nutmeg and rice are mainly japonica rice and glutinous rice. For example, japonica rice fried with Dang Shen…” 1
