Chapter 897 - 899: Great Encouragement
Xiao Yifei picked up a spoon, tasted the spicy soup, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Old Hu, you’re amazing. This breakfast includes snacks from so many provinces, and they’re all so delicious. I’m truly impressed. I feel like I’ve wasted so many years for nothing."
"Spicy soup, also known as Hu La Tang, is a traditional breakfast from Henan. It is a well-known traditional Han Clan soup commonly found in northern Huaxia breakfasts. Hu La Tang is often seen at street breakfast stalls, characterized by its mild spiciness, rich nutrition, and pleasant taste, making it an excellent complement to other breakfast items. The main varieties include Xiaoyao Hu La Tang, Zhengzhou Hu La Tang, Kaifeng Hu La Tang, and North Wudu Hu La Tang, each with its own characteristics."
"As long as you’re happy eating, that’s good. I invited you for breakfast today because we met at the conference the other day and felt we had a special connection, so I wanted to treat you to a meal."
"Actually, I have a small personal reason, too. Your medical skill is the best I’ve seen in recent years, so I hope we can become friends. We can spar a little when we’re free and learn from each other," Hu Jingtang continued.
"Old Hu, you’re too kind. You’re an elder, and the fact that you think highly of a junior like me is a great blessing. It’s truly a fortunate thing for me, and I’m very happy," Xiao Yifei said excitedly.
Since receiving Hu Jingtang’s call last night, Xiao Yifei had been wondering why he was suddenly invited to a meal. After all, they had just met for the first time and didn’t know each other that well. Now he understood; it seemed Old Hu was someone with a genuine personality.
"Since Old Hu is willing to be friends with me, I naturally can’t ask for more," Xiao Yifei reiterated. This was probably the best thing that had happened to him in a while.
"I’ve also heard bits and pieces about you from others. They all praise your excellent medical skill, saying you’re a good doctor. But I also heard you’ve had some troubles lately. Can you tell me specifically what’s going on? If there’s anything I can help with, I surely will," Hu Jingtang got straight to the point.
