章 24: Chapter 26 Making Roast Duck

Qin Hao returned home, finished his instant noodles, and then began to study his tasty roasted duck.

He used the household electronic scale to weigh out the herbs, each with a specific weight in grams.

Though the household scale was not as accurate as a specialty scale for herbs, the difference was negligible.

It took him about twenty minutes to prepare the medicine, after which he added the right amount of water and set it to simmer on medium heat on the coal stove.

These herbs were mostly common tonics, but after being fused and boiled, their effects had altered in ways no one but Qin Hao knew.

When a faint fragrance wafted from the pot, Qin Hao added a few spices.

The aroma from the pot grew stronger, provoking a ravenous appetite. Upon smelling it, Qin Hao's stomach growled again.

Qin Hao initially thought the herbal decoction would taste and smell unpleasant, as his impression of herbal medicine from childhood was that it was bitter and off-putting.
