Chapter 935: 934. Kitchen killer?

When Professor Yu announced that the research on the Full Moon Plant had entered a critical phase, Tang Shu knew she would definitely miss the National Day holiday.

On the last noon of September, at the gate of the Medical College, three girls were reluctantly saying goodbye.

"Xiao Shu, are you really not going home this time?"

"Mmm, there are some matters at the company, and I also have two stage plays to perform."

"┗|｀O′|┛ Wow~~"

Cheng Ranran visibly deflated, clinging to her arm unwilling to let go, "Then you can’t join us for the trip to Xiangnan this time, what a pity."

"Don’t worry, Ye Zi will be with you. How many people are going on this club trip?"

"President Su kept the number strictly within fifteen people. There are more poisonous insects over there and the terrain is quite complex; among the fifteen, we are the only two girls."

The club, briefly known as Adventure Club, has grown significantly in the past half-year, and the videos on the campus network have increased from the original eight to over twenty, attracting a large following from both within and outside the campus.

Now it has become one of the big clubs on campus, completely capable of comparing itself to the small clinical trial club of western medicine.

Tang Shu nodded, thought about the environment in Xiangnan, and took out several bottles of medicine from the bag she was carrying, stuffing two bottles into each person’s arms.

"This is medicine for treating general insect bites, the antidote effect is not bad, I hope you don’t have to use it. Once you enter the forest, pay more attention to your surroundings; don’t come back with injuries."

"Got it, got it, I knew Xiao Shu is the best~~~"

Cheng Ranran grinned and kissed her on the cheek as a way to show her thanks.

Ye Xiaohui, holding the medicine bottle, also seemed eager to try, "Should I give you a kiss too?"

Any medicine personally made by Shu is bound to be extraordinarily effective, probably unmatched by anything widely available; Ranran was possibly happy just out of concern for her friend, while the latter truly understood the medicinal properties.

"Forget it, I can’t afford to get skinnier; what if someone chases after me?"

Ye Xiaohui’s face instantly turned thoroughly red, "Then, do you want any specific Herbs? I’ll bring some back for you when I return."

"There actually are, I’ll send you the list later, but make sure to prioritize your safety. If you can’t find them, just forget it; I don’t want to be chased after by someone’s boyfriend."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it, I definitely won’t let you lose even a hair."

Cheng Ranran felt a sourness in her heart, again struck by lightning, "My god, are you sure you want to force me to eat dog food every day? I can’t stand it, let’s go, let’s go, we still have to catch the high-speed train."

"See you in seven days."

Not far away, Su Chejun was already urging them on.

Watching the two pull their suitcases and vanish at the north gate of the Medical College, Tang Shu saw them onto the bus bound for the train station, then turned and headed for the family compound.

The small courtyard was especially lively today; as Tang Shu pushed open the gate and entered, she heard a burst of laughter coming from the kitchen, and straight ahead in the living room there were three others chatting.

"Professor Lu, Senior Chen, Senior Feng."

"Xiao Shu is here, we’ve just been talking about you; come, have a seat."

Professor Yu’s five students had made plans to visit today; before this, Tang Shu had met each of them a few times, but not all together like now.

Everyone had arrived.

Professor Lu took over as the herbology lecturer during Professor Yu’s undergraduate days, and was the one Tang Shu was most familiar with.

"This isn’t a classroom, just call me ’Senior’ like they do."

"Senior Lu."

Tang Shu complied amiably and changed the way she addressed her.

Professor Yu seemed especially delighted with today’s bustling atmosphere, exuding happiness in every gesture. He beckoned Tang Shu to sit on the sofa and resumed the previous topic of conversation.

"Where were we? Oh right, Moon-facing Grass, I heard your research ran into some issues, Little Feng?"

"Yes, we proposed a formula at the seminar before...."

Professor Yu’s students all work in the field of traditional Chinese medicine; some are employed at hospitals, while others are at universities and research institutes. Most have been assigned to the research project on the five precious herbs.

Imperial Medical College, though primarily researching the Full Moon Plant, is also very knowledgeable about Moon-facing Grass, especially Tang Shu.

"Then you’ve asked the right person. Xiao Shu, listen, where do you think the formula is off balance?"

As the words were spoken, Senior Feng, sitting opposite, was taken aback and turned his stunned gaze to Tang Shu who had just entered.

"This... Junior Sister Tang is also researching Moon-facing Grass?"

He, who had not attended the Medical College’s seminar, was unaware of Tang Shu’s capabilities and simply thought she was a highly talented student favored by Professor Yu, never expecting the teacher to ask her such a profound question.

"I’ve delved into it a bit before. I heard Senior Feng’s formula just now. The root of the Moon-facing Grass has completely opposite healing effects to its leaves, so I think adding a tiny amount at the end of the decoction might yield some results."

"The roots of the Sun-facing Grass?"

This was something none of them had considered, and Senior Feng felt as if his thinking had been set free. His initial confusion suddenly turned into surprise, and he became eager to test it out.

"I need to think about this. It’s a bold attempt... No, I have to go back and try this!"

"Hey, wait," Professor Lu immediately grabbed him, "keep your head clear, we haven’t even had dinner yet. You can continue your work tomorrow without it being too late."

Gosh, look at these colleagues involved in the research, they go crazy the moment medical formulas are mentioned. Isn’t sacrificing the entire National Day holiday enough? Now they even want to forego today’s meal?

Absolutely not!

"Right, right, let’s have dinner first. We’ve come today to chat with our teacher, let’s discuss your formula some other time."

***

After spending 10 minutes in the living room, Tang Shu finally wrapped up the topic.

She stood up and headed towards the kitchen, only to be stopped at the door by a girl with a teasing smile.

"You better not go in there, Little Qi and I are in the kitchen."

The girl winked at her, "Mother Yu has told me quite a bit about your kitchen endeavors. Trust me, she’d prefer you stay in the living room and chat with the teacher."

Tang Shu: "..."

Alright then, her notoriety as a kitchen catastrophe has been thoroughly established, and now everyone knows about it.

"Then, can I prepare the tableware for you guys?"

She felt she could still salvage the situation.

"No need, we’re done here. Little Qi will stir-fry a couple more dishes and then we can eat. I’m out of things to do now."

An An promptly pulled her back to the living room, firmly carrying out the task Old Madam Yu had entrusted to her. Tang Shu touched her own face with an expressionless look, deeply feeling her reputation had been completely tarnished.

"Did you let your parents know in advance that you’re not going home for the holiday?"

Indeed, the reason for choosing to gather at the faculty housing today was largely because everyone was kept back by the research, and since Professor Yu and his wife had no children, they all decided to come over and liven things up together.
