Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 536

Although he felt sorry for his teacher, Song Yan did not dare to show it on his face. For a proud person like his teacher, what he hates most is when others pity him.

Seeing his apprentice standing at the door, lost in thought, Doctor Xie said, "What are you doing standing there? Come in."

After hearing his words, Song Yan came back from his thoughts, quickly parked his bicycle and followed his teacher. Entering the living room, he looked around with interest. Although it looks old on the outside, the furniture is quite new and all made of bamboo, giving the house an elegant atmosphere.

Next to the square table and chairs, there are two medicine cabinets made of wood, used to store dry medicinal materials. While he was looking around, Doctor Xie had returned from his bedroom, holding a small bottle of wine in his hand and a basket of cold pancakes.

Putting the wine bottle and the basket on the table, he went to take out the small wine cups from the cabinet and said, "Sit down and try this."

Song Yan was curious about what his teacher took out and sat down next to him. When Doctor Xie opened the lid, he was surprised by the fresh fragrance filling the air.

He looked at the clear water in the small cup carefully and asked, "Teacher, what is this? It smells so good."

Since there was not much tonic wine left, Doctor Xie only poured half a glass for his apprentice and a glass for himself. He put the lid on, put the wine bottle aside, and said, "This is the tonic wine. Let’s see if you can find out what ingredients are used to brew it."

Song Yan was surprised when he heard that the clear water was actually tonic wine. Tonic wine was nothing new to him and he had brewed some for himself. But this was the first time he knew that there was a method to make the tonic wine as clear as this one.

He raised the cup to his nose, took a deep breath, and frowned. He didn’t smell any herbs except a scent that resembled melting snow and morning dew.

He looked at his teacher and asked doubtfully, "Teacher, are you sure this is tonic wine? There is no smell of any medicinal herbs at all."

"Do you think I’m so free that I will lie to you?" Doctor Xie snorted.

Since his teacher said so, he must be serious. After taking a few more sniffs, Song Yan still didn’t smell any medicinal herbs. He had no other way but to understand the ingredients through taste.

He rinsed his mouth with water before tasting the tonic wine. He finally took a sip of wine and savored it carefully. After a while, he finally tasted some of the medicinal herbs inside, "I can taste wild ginseng, Bai Zhi, Dang Gui, Huang Jing…"

Nodding, Doctor Xie waited for a while and turned to look at him when he didn’t hear his apprentice continue speaking. Seeing Song Yang’s frown, he sighed and said, "It seems you can’t taste it either."
