Kung Fu Way: Point of No End Chapter 2.2 - Incense Outside the Wall

When Su Jie left home, he did not ask for money from his parents. Instead, he saved up money from tutoring students.

He was still in high school. Because his grades were good, some parents allowed him to teach their children. Since young, he had accumulated quite a bit of pocket money.

He was very thrifty. He did not play games like other students--did not like toys, did not like chasing stars, or buying anime figurines. Like this, he saved up money bit by bit.

However, registering for this class, it was quite expensive. He paid 30,000 yuan for two months worth of lessons. He had spent most of his meager savings.

"Where is my ginseng milk?"

Josh arrived at the VIP dining hall and called for Su Jie to come in and have a meal with him at his table.

The chef in the VIP restaurant brought a pot of soup with a scented milk fragrance. There were also a few ginseng, mushrooms, chicken, vegetables, fresh fruits, beef, and other rich, savory food sprawled on the table.

"Oh, this ginseng milk is stewed with the chicken. The ginseng inside is a wild one. A hundred years old ginseng… A thousand years old ginseng is the best. Your strength would increase by leaps and bounds. And the milk, if it were breast milk, it'd be even better." Josh shook his head, somewhat unsatisfied.

"I didn't expect a foreigner like you to know about Chinese recipes." The chef's interest was piqued. He leaned forward and asked in Chinese, "However, this dish is only worth 1,000 yuan. Although the ginseng inside is grown and may not be of luxurious quality, it's quite ripe and has seen six years worth of life. As for breast milk, do you think that it came from the noble family in the Qing Dynasty?"

The nobility during the Qing Dynasty liked to drink milk. Ah, that's right. They had a group of nurses that would squeeze out breast milk, heat it, and add in sugar.

As the saying goes, to strengthen one's own self, one had to drink milk. This meant that the longer a child suckled on a female breast, the more strength they would have.
