Chapter 236
In Mala.
Gillian held the phone without saying a word.
After a long while, she suddenly scoffed.
“It turns out that for the past 20 years, what I eat, what I wear, and what I use are all bestowed upon me by Olivia.
“In that case, I should really thank her.
“Perhaps I should kneel down to her to express my gratitude.”
When Gillian was in the dining room, she managed to keep her emotions. under control in front of Jarron.
But when she was alone in her bedroom, her temper rose inside her like lava.
In a fit of rage, she threw the pillows, bolster, and blanket to the floor and stomped on them violently.
Only then did her anger quelled a little.
“Good, very good. Olivia is so selfless.
“You like to win people’s hearts with these small favors. No wonder Blake, Yanis, and Roland in the Smith family all take her side.
“This is the reason.
“In their eyes, they must think that Jarron and I are ungrateful. Olivia has been so good to us and sacrificed so much.
“We don’t appreciate her kindness. Instead, we bear a grudge against her. “But Roland and the others should know if Oliva really cares, why didn’t she teach me the miraculous treatments of the Smith family?
“She is such a hypocrite.
“If I master the miraculous treatments and possess superb medical skills, I could save those people and get those expensive clothes and premium foods myself.
Who needs Olivia’s self–righteous charity?
Olivia gets the entire pie and only gives us the crumbs. Yet, we have to be grateful for it
What kind of logic is this? This is so unfairl
At that moment, Gillian was smoldering with anger. She hated Olivia to the bone.
Her expression was cold and terrifying.
Sitting on the bed, it took her a while to cool off and regain her composure.
She then made a call to Tracy at the Smith Cuisine Hall, asking about the progress of the medicinal dishes.
Before she came to Mala, she had given Tracy two recipes, both of which were for nourishing health. Even though the recipes were incomplete, it should not affect the medicinal effect.
The phone rang for a long moment and no one answered.
Gillian puckered her brows and her face darkened.
After a while, the phone was picked up.
“Tracy.” Gillian suppressed her anger. “How’s the making of the medicinal dishes going?”
Tracy remained silent. After a long while, she sneered and said, “You still have the nerve to call me?”
Gillian was baffled and slightly stunned.
“Tracy?” She did not understand why Tracy was so angry.
Gillian softened her voice. Her tone was as gentle as a fresh breeze. “What’s wrong? If I’ve done something that upsets you, you can just criticize me. Please don’t keep it to yourself and not tell me.”
Tracy switched the phone to her other hand. While she had become calmer, she still pulled a long face.
Previously, she had decided to help Gillian because Gillian had a pleasant personality and treated others with respect, especially the elders of the Smith family.
On the contrary, Olivia was always occupied with all kinds of things. Tracy hadn’t even met her before. In other words, Olivia was no different from a stranger to her.
But the real reason she supported Gillian was to exchange for the Smith family’s medicinal recipes, not because Gillian had a gentle nature.
You still have the cheek to ask me?” Tracy was inflamed. The recipes Qugave me are garbage. It’s not the Smith family’s secret recipes hey felt embarrassed at the mention of it.
As soon as she had received the recipes from Gillian, she immediately had her two apprentices, Cynthia and Charlie, work on creating medicinal dishes.
Unfortunately, after pondering for a week, they still had no clue.
Cynthia lost her temper and said, “Maybe there’s a problem with the recipes.”
Even though Charlie did not say it out loud, he implied the same sentiment.
In order to reassure her two apprentices, Tracy showed the recipes to an expert. To her surprise, the doctor said that those were not precious medicinal recipes as there were many similar ones out there. Most importantly, the recipes were incomplete…
Therefore, it was impossible to make something that had medicinal effects.
Tracy’s face turned extremely red. She felt too embarrassed to face her apprentices.
Putting on a front, she asked, “If the recipes are complete, can they make. medicinal dishes?”
The old doctor adjusted his glasses and looked up at her. “Tracy, you’re an experienced chef. How can you ask such a question?
“If a recipe can be adapted so easily to make a medicinal dish, patients. won’t need medicine. They can just take medicinal cuisine.”
The doctor lowered his head and fiddled with the recipes. “Not all recipes. can be changed to make medicinal dishes.
“In a general sense, medicinal cuisine is basically made by cooking nutritious ingredients with herbs. It can nourish and protect the body and boost health, but it is not meant for treating illnesses. Many people are fooled by the fancy names of the dishes, but dietary alone cannot replace medicine.”
The old doctor provided an example. “Such as your family’s medicinal dishes healing chicken soup and wholesome lentil soup, are essentially just gimmicks. They have very little medicinal effect.
“However, your seared salmon with herbed couscous is totally different. The old doctor smacked his lips as if he was savoring the aftertaste.
ou’ve all made these dishes before, so you should know the difference
them Most medicinal dishes use meat or vegetables as main
ingredients and herbs as seasoning.
“However, seared salmon with herbed couscous is not the same. Its ingredients include fish, vegetables, carbs, berries, and your family’s special herbs. It is a well–balanced dish that offers a wide variety of nutrients and medicinal properties that are good for health.
“It’s because this dish is so amazing that your family becomes famous.” Seared salmon with herbed couscous was really different from the other dishes. The other medicinal dishes might have some effects on health, but very minimal. Whereas seared salmon with herbed couscous produced noticeable results.
And it could greatly boost the body’s immune system.
Moreover, it was not only effective but also incredibly delicious, so much so that it could be considered a gourmet dish.
Tracy did not know how she had left the old doctor’s place. All she remembered was that she felt terribly embarrassed.
However, she was unwilling to accept that and had called two other well–known experts to ask them about the recipes and medicinal cuisine.
The results were the same.
It was almost impossible to change the recipes to make medicinal dishes. that had the same effect as traditional medicine.
Tracy was in complete despair.
Hence, she had given up on finding the other medicinal recipes and decided to continue making seared salmon with herbed couscous. Although the recipe for the dish had been made public by Olivia, it was rarely cooked at home due to its precious ingredients and complex cooking steps. It demanded precise timing and a high level of skill in cooking, so very few people would attempt to make it at home. Most people would prefer to eat it at the Smith Cuisine Hall.
Tracy felt that as long as she continued to perfect seared salmon with herbed couscous, it would remain the signature dish of the restaurant She was no longer asking for anything else, nor was she willing to create unnecessary problems.
