1069: Learning Humbly (1)

Learning Humbly (1)

Xia Xibei looked at him and nodded, "The concoction is not perfect."2

Qi Zhi'an's smile froze, and his mood was very complicated.

This was the first time someone had spoken to him like this, and in a critical tone too!

With his position, no one had ever dared to say such things to him.

Even his father had always been considerate when speaking to him.

He had only heard such a tone before he was married, and very rarely.

He had to say, it made him feel a bit complicated.

However, thinking of Xia Xibei's strength, he quickly suppressed his conflicted thoughts and asked with an open mind, "I concocted it according to the method handed down from our family. What do you think? How should I improve?"

Xia Xibei looked at Qi Zhi'an and could not help but feel satisfied.

It was rare that an important person like Qi Zhi'an, who was so high up in the world and used to everyone's praise, could still maintain such a mentality!

If other people had heard her words, they would have turned their heads and left, or they wouldn't have been able to resist being upset.

It was no wonder Qi Zhi'an had such status and strength! He was born with his status, but his strength was earned by his own efforts.

Only with such a humble attitude could he go so far.

Xia Xibei was satisfied, and naturally, she would not withhold any information.

"In fact, the processing of the bone lotus' pistils is not difficult. It can be very simple."

"Simple?" Qi Zhi'an was even more surprised. "When I handled it before, I used a lot of effort!"

In order to deal with this bit of pistil, he guarded it, afraid that it would be damaged if it was exposed to the sun for too long.

"There is a very simple way," Xia Xibei raised her eyebrows.

Qi Zhi'an made a gesture to show he was listening.

"Put it into liquor with ABV 60% and soak it for four hours. After that, take it out and dry it, grinding it into a powder."

"Huh?" Qi Zhi'an was shocked. "Put it into liquor and soak it?"

"Yes," Xia Xibei nodded. "It's that simple, and you can be sure that the medicinal effects inside will not be lost."

Qi Zhi'an was even more shocked.

"Is that so?"

"Yes," Xia Xibei nodded, then sniffed the pistils. "You added a little sulfur to it, right?"

"Yes…"

Xia Xibei fiddled a bit more and came up with another statement. 

"It was dried for two days at noon?"

"Right!"

Qi Zhi'an was convinced.

She really knew how to handle the pistils of the bone lotus! She knew all of this at a glance!

How in the world did this girl grow up? Why did she know so much?

Even people like them, with family roots, who had worked hard for so many years, may not be able to master much of the content.

The concoction of these spiritual plants was very much about the temperature used in preparing it.

It was like cooking in the country of Hua, where the right amount of salt and the right amount of sugar was essential.

Without professional and precise data, it was difficult for them to master the techniques.

If the handling was not right, the materials could be ruined.

There were so few spiritual plants, they did not dare to recklessly research and study, so how could they still master these skills?

Xia Xibei's effortless sharing really impressed Qi Zhi'an.

"That approach is too troublesome, just do what I say next time. The effect will definitely be better than what you had before," Xia Xibei said lightly. 

She raised her eyebrows at these pistils. 

"However, this is enough to use."

Once these words came out, Qi Zhi'an let out a sigh of relief.

Enough was good!

In the next second, however, he could not help but laugh bitterly.

When did he become a student listening to the teacher's evaluation, feeling lucky that he had finally passed?!
