Indeed, as Zhao Hongsheng had expected, after introducing which foods should not be combined, Shopkeeper Wu pivoted the conversation and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, as the saying goes, everything has its counterpart, both in conflict and in harmony, and this applies to food as well. We should not only avoid certain incompatible foods but also utilize the compatibility of various foods to prepare medicinal diets that nourish the body."
Shopkeeper Wu paused, then smiled and continued, "Perhaps you are all thinking, why should we eat medicinal diets when we are not sick? And if we do fall ill, isn't it enough to simply take some medicine? It is commonly said that all medicine contains a degree of toxicity, and everyone knows that potions cannot be consumed frequently. However, medicinal diets are different, they do not contain any herbal ingredients, but the effects of the resulting food are the same as those of the medicinal herbs. They can cure the sick and strengthen the healthy!"
