Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 212

"It's about time" Selina crossed her arms as she watched over the simmering pot, carefully monitoring when the medicinal herbs and ingredients would reach their perfect harmony. As the rich aroma wafied through the air, she adjusted the heat and added a few supplementary herbs ti enhance the flavor.

Just then, Lance peered into the pot and recognized the dish. It was notoginseng chicken soup, a simple medicinal diet. With the right ingredients, anyone could follow a recipe and make it at home. However, there was something different about Selina's dish. Usually, notoginseng didn't have a strong, enticing aroma. Hence, Lance wondered what made Selina's medicinal diet different. "Selina, are you following the traditional method of preparation?"

"I've been doing some experimenting. I added a few extra medicinal herbs that promote blood circulation and detoxification. But to me, the most Important aspect of any dish, even a medicinal diet, is the favor. Even though medicinal diets are meant to nourish and heal the body, their taste cannot be overlooked. A delicious dish is more likely to stimulate the appetite and uplift the spirit. I believe food should always bring happiness" Selina believed delicious food could bring a good mood, something medicines could

Lance nodded thoughtfully, understanding the wisdom in Selina's words. Their conversation was being streamed live, sparking a lively discussion among viewers. Among the audience, one particular viewer was especially intrigued.

This sounds oddly familiar.. murmured an elderly man sitting in an opulently decorated study. His name was Lucas Turner, an honorary lifetime member of the Clusian Medicinal Diet Association. He had sampled countless medicinal diets and authored numerous books about delicacies, especially on medicinal diets, documenting his experiences and insights. He was watching the live stream because he was bored, and the app had Incessantly pushed notifications, piquing even his aged curiosity.

Lucas had once suffered from a severe stomach ailment, one that had resisted treatment from renowned doctors. He lost appetite and had grown increasingly frail, teetering on the brink of despair. Eventually, through a friend's connection, he found himself under the care of a mysterious medicinal diet expert, who gradually nursed him back to health,

The expert diagnosed Lucas' condition as primarily a digestive issue, caused by his stomach ailment. No excessive medication was necessary other than the medicinal diet provided. What made the expert's dishes remarkable was that they didn't prioritize healing but rather flavor. For someone like Lucas, who had savored countless delicacies but was now plagued by a stomach disorder, the brightened taste was crucial. Without it, he wouldn't be able to eat, let alone absorb the nutrients, rendering even the finest medicinal diets useless.

It was no exaggeration to say that it was the most delicious medicinal diet Lucas had ever tasted. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet this culinary genius in person. After his recovery, the expert vanished, and no matter how hard Lucas searched, he couldn't track them down Even Lucas' friend who had introduced him remained tight-lipped about the person's true identity. Since then, finding a medicinal diet that could compare to that experience proved difficult. Consequently, he gradually stopped publishing books, content with living the simple life of a retiree. Yet, when Selina said. "The essence of medicinal diet lies in its flavor, one must not forget its roots, the phrase stirred a memory deep within Lucas He was sure the expert who helped him would likely say something similar. Lucas had originally intended to casually watch the stream before turning it off, but now, his interest was thoroughly piqued.

It wasn't long before Selina's medicinal diet was ready. The moment the dish was placed on the table, Lydia, already captivated by the aroma, found herself uncontrollably salivating, barely restraining herself from lunging at the dish and taking the entire pot for herself. A cloud of steam billowed out as the lid was lifted, carrying the rich scent of meat that filled the room. The fragrance was mingled with a refreshing medicinal aroma, yet not at all overpowering, making one eager to take a bite. Even Lance, who had tasted countless delicacies, couldn't help but salivare. "Um.. Selina, could I try a bite!"

"Hmm..." Selina glanced over Lydia Even though Lydia was hesitant to share, she found it difficult to say no to Lance, who was a well-respected senior in the entertainment industry. As he looked at her with a pleading expression, almost as if he were on his knees, especially considering there was no animosity between them. Lydia felt compelled to acquiesce.

She furrowed her brows, ultimately relenting, "All right... but just a tiny bit."

Just a bite, I pro

I promise! Lance agreed.

"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Hilcast. You had more than you promised yesterday, someone chimed in

"L..couldn't control myself, but I promise it won't happen again Lance said.

"Um... aqually, we Max and the others, drawn by the enticing aroma, gathered at the doorway. Seeing Lance take the initiative, they couldn't resist following suit. Lydia was a

was at a loss for words. If she had known this would happen, she would've refused outright. It was bad enough to share with one person, let alone turer. There wasn't much to begin with, so letting them taste the dish would be at her own expense. "Is it too late to change my mind?" "No! You can't change your mind now! Lance and the others were adamant Helplessly, she watched as each of them took a portion, her heart sanking with every bite they savored. As they tasted the dish, expressions of pure bliss spread across their faces, reflecting their utter sausfaction "My gosh... Selina, how on earth did you make this Pamela gazed at Selina tenderly.

tasted one as delicious as Selina's. The aroma wasn't just in the scent but in the taste. Every mouthful of soup filled the palate with the perfect blend of fresh medicinal herbs and rich tender meal

The camera had cleverly zoomed in on Selina's dish even before any cutlery had been raised. Combined with the guests' ecstatic reactions, it wasn't only Lydia who was convinced of its allure, viewers felt as if they could almost taste the dish through their screens. Even celebrities, accustomed to the finest cuisines, were completely captivated, leaving everyone curious about the dish's heavenly flavor.

It's

100 similar..." Lucas' heart raced. Just from watching the live stream, it was impossible for him to discern the exact blend of medicinal herbs used by Selina. Yet, the expressions of profound shock joy, and satisfaction on the guests' faces were unmistakable, mirroring the reaction he had when he first tasted such a medicinal diet. These were not reactions that could be feigned; they spoke of genuine culinary delight.

"No.. I can't let them have any more!" Lydia guarded the medicinal diet as if shielding a precious treasure while glaring at the others. If they took a few more bites, there would be nothing left for her. She'd truly be left with nothing but tears then.
