Chapter 650: Chapter 642: How Expensive Could It Be? (Double-Length Chapter)
Teng Xue’s face darkened, and she couldn’t help but say, "They say it’s herbal cuisine, but it’s actually just some deceptive stuff. If you could really improve your skin just by eating, who would still throw money at those cosmetic medical institutions and suffer through it!"
At this point, Teng Xue’s tone involuntarily softened a bit.
"Plus, medicine is three parts poison. Those so-called herbal cuisines can’t be eaten randomly. Who knows if some herb would react with food. It’s definitely safer to get diagnosed by a proper hospital’s dermatology department."
Zhang Xueyao quickly said, "Teacher, herbal cuisine is really safe and very healthy, truly! My uncle is the head chef at a restaurant, and the herbal cuisine they offer is extremely popular and very effective!"
At this time, the surrounding female classmates and the teacher were quite interested in listening to their conversation.
Women all love beauty; who doesn’t wish they could be a bit more perfect.
Unless you’re born with natural beauty and extraordinary talent, most people have worries about blackheads, pimples, and acne.
The female teachers surely have some insights into beauty and skincare.
And the female students are just at the age of puberty, deeply troubled by acne.
They were already very attentive to Zhang Xueyao’s situation, and now they’re naturally even more eager.
But, just like the teacher said, can these herbal cuisines really be eaten?
Herbal cuisine, as the name suggests, is definitely food made with medicine. Could it really not harm the body?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but look towards Zhang Xueyao with curiosity.
If what Zhang Xueyao said is true and herbal cuisine indeed doesn’t harm the body, they’d also like to give it a try.
After all, women, regardless of age, have a love for beauty.
Zhang Xueyao spoke with great determination.
And the example of healing is right in front of them.
For a moment, Teng Xue was not as certain as before.
Is this herbal cuisine really as effective as Zhang Xueyao claims?
Could there be any issues?
Thinking of this, Teng Xue nodded, "Alright, as long as it’s safe, you can sit down. I was just asking casually."
Zhang Xueyao obediently sat down, her face unable to hide her excitement.
She really got selected!
Having the opportunity to appear on the New Year’s Eve show on the television station is really something to be proud of!
The surrounding classmates looked at Zhang Xueyao with envy.
After all... who wouldn’t want others’ recognition?
Besides, everyone was more interested in the herbal cuisine Zhang Xueyao talked about.
Being able to eat food for skin improvement, is there really such a wonderful thing?
The more they thought about it, the more they looked forward to and felt excited.
After this class, they must ask properly where to eat this herbal cuisine.
At this time, Teng Xue left the class with a group of music teachers.
They discussed the rehearsal arrangements for the evening as they walked.
Teng Xue thought for a moment and instructed, "Today, we won’t learn any songs first. Let’s arrange the formation first. This time, we’re participating in the city’s television station’s New Year’s Eve event. The theme is to showcase the traditional virtues of students loving the party and the country, respecting the elderly, and caring for family. So, whether it’s the selection of costumes or songs, we need to consider from various aspects."
"I think Zhang Xueyao from class one just now has pretty good external conditions. She looks sunny and full of vitality. When we arrange the lineup tonight, she can be considered as a candidate for the backup lead singer."
Backup lead?
The other teachers exchanged glances.
Thinking of that beautiful and confident-looking female student.
She does seem quite suitable.
Especially considering her height.
As a lead, it’s necessary to have external conditions that make one stand out in a crowd.
To achieve this effect, not only looks but also figure and height are really important.
Since Teng Xue proposed her as a candidate, the other teachers basically accepted it.
Though said to be a backup, it’s practically settled.
Zhang Xueyao didn’t know that because of a word from Teng Xue, she had gained a chance to shine initially.
At this moment, she sat excitedly in her seat, pretending to be doing some exercises, holding a pen, head down, as if she were studying hard.
In fact, she was so excited that she couldn’t even focus on the exercises in front of her, with her mind full of thoughts about her soon appearing on television.
If she could really appear on TV, Grandma and Zhang Zhen would definitely be so happy for her.
Also, would Fu Yu see her on TV?
What would he think after seeing it?
With this thought, Zhang Xueyao felt her earlobes start to heat up.
Now, she’s really looking forward to the chance to participate in the city’s television station’s New Year’s Eve program.
If she could get into the provincial station’s Lantern Festival Gala, then Fu Yu would have an even greater chance to see her.
Moreover, this matter, for her, is also a very proud experience.
As soon as the next class ended, before the teacher could leave the classroom, the female classmates sitting around Zhang Xueyao couldn’t wait to gather around her.
"Yaoyao, where did you have the herbal cuisine? Introduce it to me, please?"
"Yeah, Yaoyao, your conditioning effect is really amazing. Is the herbal cuisine tasty? It’s not bitter, right?"
"Even if it’s bitter, it’s okay. I’m not afraid. The herbal soup my mom bought before was really bitter, and I drank it all gritting my teeth."
"Right, I’m also not afraid. Yaoyao, look at this acne on my face. It’s about to join into patches, I’m so anxious."
"Me too, it’s recurring, and so many have left marks. I’m really worried they won’t ever go away, what should I do then..."
...
The group was extremely lively.
Even her deskmate, a girl who usually just focused on studying, also leaned over to ask, "Deskmate, if it doesn’t affect you, do tell everyone."
"Sharing happiness with others is better than enjoying it alone, isn’t it?"
"I’m actually not that concerned about my skin, but the key is the acne keeps growing on my nose, it’s really painful, I don’t even dare to touch it!"
"Deskmate, where did you have the herbal cuisine? Tell me, I also want to try! Please!"
Hearing even her deskmate say this, everyone immediately nodded in agreement.
"Right, Yaoyao, we don’t have too high a demand, just being able to cure the acne is enough, it looks so uncomfortable!"
"Exactly, me too, I’m about to throw up from taking herbal medicine. If the herbal cuisine is really as tasty as you say, I want to try it too!"
"Since it’s the herbal cuisine made by your uncle’s restaurant, and you yourself are eating it, it must not have any harm to the body. Just tell us, Yaoyao..."
Being asked for so long, seeing the serious and anticipatory expressions on everyone’s faces, Zhang Xueyao hesitated a little but eventually honestly shared her experience.
"It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but... the herbal cuisine he makes is very popular. If it weren’t for my uncle’s good relationship with him, we wouldn’t have been able to reserve a spot!"
Zhang Xueyao, who usually kept to herself and rarely communicated with others, couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when suddenly surrounded by so many people.
But once the topic started, she gradually became more calm.
And talking about matters related to Fu Yu, she found it very enjoyable.
She wanted to talk about these things usually, but no one would listen.
She could only keep it bottled up inside, silently savoring and reminiscing by herself.
Now that there were listeners, the more Zhang Xueyao talked, the smoother it flowed, and she didn’t feel as nervous.
"Moreover, because the herbal cuisine he makes is particularly effective, the ingredients and herbs used are very expensive. Of course, being expensive means it’s worth the value, truly! Just look at me, I only completed two courses of herbal cuisine, and the effect is so significant!"
"My uncle said that the ingredients and herbs he uses are all procured through the regular supply channels of the restaurant, and the herbs are also ordered from legitimate pharmacies; they’re genuine. However, the prices are indeed very high!"
If another classmate said the herbal cuisine was expensive, everyone might be a bit apprehensive.
Just how expensive could this expensive be.
But now that the words are coming from Zhang Xueyao.
No one really took it too seriously.
After all, the students have been in the same class for so long, they all know each other well enough.
What kind of circumstances each household is in, everyone is already aware.
Given Zhang Xueyao’s family situation, what kind of expensive things can she afford?
It’s said that she has a pretty capable uncle who supports her, but how capable can this person really be?
How expensive could herbal cuisine made by a restaurant be?
No. 1 High School is the best in the city.
Students who managed to get in here, besides being good at studies themselves, largely owe it to attending costly cram classes.
Being able to afford all sorts of high-expense tutorials, quite a few families here actually have very good conditions.
