Chapter 833 - 732: Edible Playthings_2

Fu Yu has now begun to have an initial understanding that integrates the few cookbooks at hand.

Whenever he sees a fairly good medicinal cuisine dish, his mind quickly flashes to the recipes of anorexic customers he just saw, featuring ingredients or plating styles similar to the dishes.

He then makes an effort to fuse the ingredients and plating from the two cookbooks together.

The advantages of each immediately come into play.

Understanding Xia Anni’s dietary preferences, Fu Yu starts to self-design customized menus for the medicinal cuisine banquet.

Xia Anni returned to the living room, and shortly after, Yao Shi found out some information and quickly made time to come to the dining room to inform Fu Yu.

Similarly, due to Xia Anni’s absence, the agent spoke with noticeably fewer reservations, although very private matters were not mentioned.

However, the details regarding Xia Anni’s illness and recent dietary situation were very thoroughly explained.

After Yao Shi learned this, he paused in thought, also feeling this matter was somewhat tricky, thinking to inform Fu Yu so he might have some awareness.

"The agent said Xia Anni ate only two crackers, one piece of boiled purple cabbage, and drank two sips of bitter gourd juice all day yesterday," Yao Shi said carefully, afraid of missing any detail: "Now, here’s the deal, as long as she can eat things, it’s considered a blessing, whether the treatment shows any effect is not important. But... there’s one issue, besides anorexia, Xia Anni has very severe insomnia."

At this point, Yao Shi turned to glance in the direction of the living room, ensuring no one was looking over, he continued: "Although they didn’t say explicitly, I just looked carefully at Xia Anni’s diagnosis sheet, and her condition is quite severe, currently under treatment."

"When you’re designing the medicinal cuisine dishes, it’s best if the effects are mild, you understand what I mean?"

Fu Yu nodded.

Don’t seek success, just avoid failure.

Seeing that Fu Yu understood, Yao Shi felt relieved and whispered: "You don’t need to feel much pressure, they’re just trying something new, whether it is good or bad doesn’t matter."

"To tell the truth, they don’t expect any effect from the medicinal cuisine, today is just an ordinary dinner gathering, the purpose is to entertain guests."

Liu Yiming chatted briefly with Xia Anni and her agent before turning to glance in the direction of the dining room.

To be honest, he isn’t very familiar with the medicinal cuisine banquet at the music restaurant, nor is he very confident in it.

It was entirely because his sister casually mentioned this matter during dinner after last night’s live broadcast.

Liu Yici especially loves the TV series starring Xia Anni, and upon hearing Liu Yiming’s guest for this broadcast was Xia Anni, she quickly asked Liu Yiming to help make introductions and joined the dinner.

As a result, the two hit it off right away.

Liu Yiming actually understood that Xia Anni’s favor towards his sister was mainly due to his influence.

However, Liu Yici did not see it this way; she genuinely liked Xia Anni and displayed complete idol-fan behavior during the entire dinner.

Upon hearing about Xia Anni’s poor health, she became anxious and promptly chatted about the medicinal cuisine banquet recently launched at the music restaurant.

It might be that the Liu Family naturally possesses extraordinary eloquence and expressive ability.

Liu Yici almost managed to exaggerate the medicinal cuisine banquet at the music restaurant to the point of embellishment!

Even Liu Yiming, despite being a top national sales promoter, felt tempted by what he heard.

Especially the customers with custom medicinal cuisines Liu Yici mentioned; coincidentally he knew them, and during previous encounters, he was also surprised by their changes in complexion and appearance.

Now hearing his sister’s explanation, he realized it was indeed due to the custom medicinal cuisine banquet that improved their complexion and skin.

All women love beauty, and even more, so does Xia Anni, whose career depends on her appearance and figure.

Having been tormented by anorexia and endocrine disorders, Xia Anni is showing signs of slight depression.

She is also quite anxious, under great pressure, watching her body deteriorate day by day, affecting her appearance and figure.

This ends up making her anxious while also actively seeking out treatment methods.

But it’s useless!

No amount of money can buy health!

Moreover, due to professional limitations, it’s inconvenient for her to visit hospitals regularly; she also cannot comply precisely with the doctor’s treatment plan due to busy schedules.

The illness worsens as time passes.

The huge work pressure is damaging her health, greatly affecting her mental state.

After Liu Yici’s enthusiastic recommendation, Xia Anni indeed was moved by the idea.

Liu Yiming saw this and therefore specifically arranged for tonight’s home service medicinal cuisine banquet.

His original intention was to entertain Xia Anni anyway, so why not cater to her tastes?

Liu Yiming thought it was straightforward but underestimated how severe Xia Anni’s condition was.

Hearing both Fu Yu and Yao Shi discuss the difficulty of customizing medicinal cuisine, he felt somewhat uncertain.

A friend like Xia Anni, being in such a state, did naturally concern him.

Having already taken on the task, though not expecting to do everything perfectly, a decent attitude should at least be maintained.

Liu Yiming does have some status in the circle, not to mention considerable wealth, but Xia Anni, likewise a recently popular young starlet, is a traffic idol.

Having the chance to befriend her is a valued opportunity for Liu Yiming.

Also, unlike others in the circle, possibly due to a good family background, Xia Anni is much more approachable with sincerity and doesn’t engage much in manipulative scheming, a pure-hearted girl.

Having invited her home, and possibly offering the beneficial medicinal cuisine banquet, just letting her have a lousy meal and sent off wouldn’t suffice.

Considering all aspects, he decided to think further and try to find some relevant experts to help.

After all, one shouldn’t rely solely on one solution.

"Well, Annie, since you want to use medicinal cuisine for physical replenishment, if you don’t mind, I’d like to invite another guest over, is that okay?" Liu Yiming negotiated with Xia Anni.

Today’s occasion is for entertaining Xia Anni, if outsiders are to be invited, her consent must be acquired.

Xia Anni was a bit surprised, "Brother Liu, who do you want to invite over?"

Liu Yiming explained, "I happen to have an uncle who is good friends with Vice Director Ren from Bei’an Traditional Chinese Medicine. Their relationship is very close. I thought about asking my uncle to contact him, and if Vice Director Ren can come over, he could help and oversee the medicinal cuisine banquet."

To an outsider, medicinal cuisine seems simply like cooking Chinese medicinal ingredients with regular ones.

Since it involves Chinese medicinal ingredients, then medicinal cuisine definitely falls under the Chinese medicine category.

Speaking of Chinese medicine, the most professional would surely be a hospital’s doctors!

Being able to invite a hospital’s vice director is a significant form of credibility, isn’t it?

Xia Anni was pleasantly surprised. Last night, she heard a lot from Liu Yici about the benefits of medicinal cuisine treatments and was swayed.

However, seeing this legendary medicinal cuisine master chef today, though handsome, she did feel such a handsome guy’s work should be good.

Yet, he seemed too young.

Could such a young medicinal cuisine chef really create such miraculous effects?

She still slightly maintained a skeptical attitude.

Now hearing Liu Yiming suggest inviting the hospital’s vice director over to help oversee...

Xia Anni instantly felt reassured.

Someone who reached the position of vice director surely possesses a high level of expertise!

So amidst the surprise, she was somewhat moved.

She didn’t expect Liu Yiming would be so attentive to her matters.

In the entertainment circle, most relations are superficial; people act friendly but deep down there’s always a thread of interest weaving through.

True sincerity transforming into a reciprocal bond is almost improbable.

Although growing up in the circle with her family’s backing, she nonetheless witnessed various things.

Over time, seeing and hearing too much, she too didn’t interact recklessly, delivering genuine feelings during exchanges with others.

She truly didn’t anticipate Liu Yiming would treat her with such genuine intentions.
