True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1745

Seeing the strange expression on Ernest's face, Leah smiled and asked, "You're really picky, aren't you? These are all healthy and nutritious food. A lot of people eat these back in our country."

Ernest was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Leah with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Leah suddenly laughed. "There are even people who eat live maggots. I heard that it is packed with protein."

"Ah!" Liam and Maria had the same reaction. They almost threw up.

Ernest frowned. There was a hint of horror in his eyes. He looked at Leah, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Leah brought over a bowl of soup for Ernest to take a look. She stirred it and looked at the ingredients inside. She explained, "These eastern ingredients are all tonics. The meat and bones here are clearly ribs, and this white part is healthy too. This is a nutritious soup."

Ernest and Liam looked at Leah, surprised.

Leah continued to look at the food in the bowl as she stirred it. She slowly took out every ingredient inside. It was only then that she understood what was inside.

"This is a medicinal soup. A lot of tonics have been added to it. It can help improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The ingredients inside are mostly common. Don't overthink it. There's nothing bad inside. If there were, it would smell really fishy."

As she said that, Leah pushed the bowl of soup towards Ernest. She looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry, this soup smells really good." Ernest looked at her in surprise. "You know about these too? Do you know a lot about Chinese medicine?"

"Not much." Leah shook her head.

"But you could identify the ingredients," Ernest said in surprise.

"Please, this is common sense, okay?" Leah laughed. "These are really common. A lot of people know about them, okay?"

Ernest glanced at Liam and Maria. "Do you guys know about it?"

The two of them shook their heads.

"This is not basic knowledge at all. It is too difficult," Maria looked at Leah with admiration in her eyes. "Leah, you're really awesome for knowing these things."

Leah burst into laughter at Maria's praise. "Aren't you all too naive? These things can be seen in pharmacies."

"I don't look at these things when I go to pharmacies." Maria said, "I've never seen this before. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to see anything inside at all."

"Alright. If that's the case, then I am very smart," Leah was no longer being modest. "Quick, drink the soup. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Don't worry about it. You can drink it."

"Really?" Liam wasn't sure. He asked Leah again.

Leah nodded seriously. "Of course, there's no problem with it. If there were, I would cut off my head for you to use as a football."

Ernest frowned at once. "Don't talk nonsense."

"That's right, you can't say that." Liam also shook his head. "It is not that serious, but after hearing your explanation, I feel quite relieved."

"Then let's drink it." Leah smiled at them.

Ernest and Liam drank the soup.

Maria also drank the soup.

She felt much better after getting rid of her doubts.

"Are these oysters? Why does it look like it hasn't been cooked yet?" Maria pointed at the plate of oysters and asked Leah.

Leah looked at it and nodded. "They're oysters. It's a type of seafood that contains rich elements. It boosts male hormones and gives them more strength. Lots of men like to use it to strengthen their livers."

"This type of oysters can be steamed or stir-fried, but the butler gave us raw ones. Of course, this way, it's effects can be maximized. It is just that when it's eaten raw, it may be a little disgusting as there can be live microorganisms or parasites. It's not so hygienic."

"Is it really raw?" Maria was tongue-tied.

Leah nodded. "That's right. Lots of people eat it this way."

"Butler." Ernest immediately called him.

The butler quickly came over. "Master Ernest, what can I do for you?"
