The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 223 Medicinal Food Restaurant Opens

But Shiliu understood what she was going to say, because the stall that was smashed belonged to the man Wu had remarried, and Wu was there, hiding behind Liu Hui.

The few people who smashed the stall cursed and left, and then the two of them dared to pack up their things.

After listening to the discussion on the street, Shiliu finally understood what happened.

It turned out that there were some new gangsters on this street who were collecting protection money, and they were very bullies. Wu refused to pay the protection money, which annoyed a few gangsters, so they smashed their stall and said that if they didn't pay, Protection fees, you are not allowed to set up stalls here in the future, you will smash them again and again.

Before she had time to look away, Wu over there seemed to be aware of something. She looked up and saw the Pomegranate sisters in the mule cart. Suddenly, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and they actually saw a joke -

When Wu looked over, Pomegranate's expression remained unchanged, and naturally she didn't miss the flash of annoyance in Wu's eyes. What a joke. Although she didn't like Wu, there was nothing worthy of praise for the bully. However, She won't pay much attention to this matter, just pretend she didn't see it.

Put down the curtain and let Jiang Bing move forward.

Watching the mule cart go away, Wu couldn't help gritting his teeth. Liu Huizheng was chattering in his ears that it would be better to pay the protection fee and have some peace and quiet. If he couldn't set up a stall here, he wouldn't be able to make any money. He set up a stall here. Over the years, we have had many repeat customers, so it would be a shame not to leave.

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she felt even more annoyed. The protection fee was too high, it was fifty cash a day! Isn't this just to see how their business is doing?

If you really give it, it will be more than a pound of silver a month. Apart from this, how much is left? It hurts to think about it.

She was still thinking about saving up enough money quickly—

It's a pity that she only became the Bao family last time. She got ten taels of silver, but it was far from enough.

Butler Hu stopped looking for her later, but even if he looked for her, it was difficult for her to do it. Thinking of the few pieces of meat that fell off her body to guard her against thieves, it was really difficult to get those recipes.

Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes and said: "We can't pay this protection fee. At worst, we will set up a stall somewhere else. If you want to have a wife soon, you have to listen to me on this matter. We have to save more money!"

Liu Hui opened his dry mouth and closed it again. He didn't know what he thought of, but he always felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly said: "We also have more than twenty taels of silver in our hands now, and we can sell the two acres of paddy fields and the house." Okay, I can scrape together fifty taels of silver. I have to change places anyway, why not change it now?”

Wu glanced at him and couldn't tell what she was feeling, "I knew you were anxious to be a father!"

She hummed and moved her hands faster, "Let me think about it carefully. If you want to do it, you have to do it in one go. Otherwise, it will be all in vain. The stall will not be set up these two days. You can go and find out." Ask around to see where it would be better to settle down..."

—

On the first day of June, Huanghuaxi Lane.

The two-story building in the middle has been swept clean in front of the door. When the sun rises, the light hitting the red silk is dazzling.

When the auspicious time came, the crackling firecrackers sounded, and the shopkeeper Yu Zaisui, who was full of energy in new clothes, took off the red silk on the signboard. Li's Medicinal Food Restaurant was officially opened!

Some passers-by heard the sound of firecrackers and knew that a new shop had opened here. They gathered around to watch the excitement. They saw the red silk pulled off to reveal the signboard, Medicinal Food Restaurant? What kind of shop is this? See you again.

Looking at Li's, some people thought of the Li's specialty store on Lingshui Street. Isn't that shop the first to open in Luoshui City? So, could this herbal restaurant be the same Li's?

Nowadays, almost no one in the city has bought anything from Li's specialty store, and they are full of curiosity about this newly opened herbal restaurant.

Medicinal food, can the medicine be taken as a meal?

Some idle people holding folding fans walked towards the medicinal restaurant.

Brothers Yu Fa and Yu Cai quickly stepped forward to greet the guests with smiles, "Guest officer, please come in! In the private room or in the lobby?"

"Private box!" The gentleman wearing a silk robe holding a folding fan was obviously not short of money.

"Okay! There is a private room upstairs, and we have three distinguished guests!" Yu Fa led the three gentlemen upstairs, pushed open the first private room, and invited the guests in.

Then I was given a quick drink of Adenophora and Ophiopogon japonicus.

The private room is not big, with a round table in the middle. There is a vase stool in one corner. There is a blue and white porcelain vase on the stool. There is a pot of green potted plants by the window, and there is an ice basin on the other side. It makes the room very cool.

There is also a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. It was not done by everyone, so it is not very good, but it is more elegant and adds a sense of elegance to this small box.

The three gentlemen looked at the box, nodded secretly, and then looked at Yu Fa, "Tell me what kind of business your medicinal restaurant is doing."

Yu Fa had been practicing for half a month in advance, and now he came talking without any fear.

"So that our distinguished guests know that our herbal restaurant specializes in health-preserving medicinal diets, including ginseng black-bone chicken soup that nourishes qi, blood, kidneys and essence, astragalus and eel soup that nourishes and calms the mind, lotus seeds and pork belly soup that warms the stomach and strengthens the spleen, and strengthens the spleen and stomach. Huaishan Codonopsis and Quail Soup, Cordyceps Laoya Soup to nourish the kidneys and lungs, Yam Poria, Poria and Pigeon Soup to strengthen the spleen and qi..."

The three of them were surprised for a while. Can the medicine really be made into meals? It sounds very appetizing, but I don’t know how. After taking a sip of the tea, a faint ginseng flavor came out, and the three people who suddenly felt thirsty and thirsty nodded secretly.

One of them said: "It's hot right now, and I happen to have a little loss of appetite. Just watch and give us a few dishes!"

"Then let's have a winter melon and duck soup that nourishes the liver and removes dampness, a lotus seed and pork belly soup that warms the stomach and strengthens the spleen, then add a stir-fried leek with walnut kernels, a loach stew with tofu, and a preserved egg mixed with cucumber, and then the staple food will be served. Sesame rice, what do you think?"

The three people listened and naturally agreed.

Yu Fa then exited the box and went down to pass the dishes.

At this moment, two or three tables of guests were seated downstairs, and Yu Cai was greeting them.

The guests at these three tables were obviously wearing fine cotton. They were not as wealthy as those upstairs, but they were also well-off. Yu Cai introduced them to the characteristics of the medicinal food restaurant. Several tables ordered their own favorite medicinal soups, and then let Yu Cai take a look. Side dishes were served.

The kitchen immediately became busy. On the rows of small clay stoves, earthen pots were simmering various soups, such as chicken soup, which had been simmering for several hours.

In this room, you only need to see what medicinal soup the guests ordered and put the earthen pots on the table, while Ma was busy frying the side dishes they ordered -

Not long after, Mrs. Wang and others arrived. In addition to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Hong, Mrs. Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also traveling with them.

Shiliu personally welcomed them out and led them to the innermost box on the second floor. They were first served Angelica, red dates, wolfberry tea and Polygonatum wolfberry drink.

Angelica and red dates replenish qi and blood. They all know this. Old Mrs. Ding heard that drinking Huangjing and wolfberry can prolong life. Her eyes immediately lit up and she asked Pomegranate to teach her maid how to brew it. She planned to drink this as tea in the future!

Pomegranate personally introduced the medicinal diet to them. Listening to the various effects of various medicinal diets, several people nodded secretly.

Then I ordered a table, a yam, poria, pigeon soup that strengthens the spleen and qi, a Fritillaria turtle soup that nourishes yin and lungs, a soothing and calming yin-nourishing American ginseng, dendrobium, and Huaishan hen soup, a Shouwu liver slice, and a ginkgo soup. Diced chicken, a stir-fried loofah, and a stir-fried eggplant with astragalus.

The staple food is ginseng and jujube rice, which nourishes the body, nourishes qi, nourishes blood and calms the mind.

The five of us ordered a lot, firstly to take care of business, and secondly because they wanted to taste more. If they didn't know they couldn't finish it, they would have ordered more.

After hearing so many medicinal dishes, I wanted to try them all. However, they had a lot of time anyway, so they could come here for several days in a row and taste every medicinal dish. It was like digging for treasure, and they always felt that every dish was a treasure. The medicine and food are all very satisfying.

This was the inner thought of several people after tasting the medicinal food served on the table.

Mrs. Wei was so excited that she pooped on Pomegranate. She talked openly about the weakness of her young daughter and asked Pomegranate for reference. It would be better to drink those medicinal foods first.

Pomegranate didn't dare to be good at it, so she recommended some medicinal foods to nourish qi, nourish blood and calm the nerves for Mrs. Wei's own reference.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei immediately ordered one, planning to take it back and give it to her daughter to try.

Although this herbal meal has a medicinal smell, it is very flavorful when stewed. I believe that my daughter who doesn’t like to drink medicine will definitely be able to accept it. She also suffered from drinking medicine constantly that year. Mrs. Wei thought that she would ask the old doctor to ask about this The medicated diet in the medicated diet restaurant can be beneficial to my daughter. If it is beneficial, it will not be too late to drink it often in the future.

After all, the name of this medicinal food has stopped a lot of people. On the first day of opening today, except for those introduced by Wang, there are only a few tables of customers here and there, so business is not booming.

But at the end of the day, I made a lot of money.

As word spreads, more and more customers will come.

However, soon after, a doctor invited from the restaurant opposite came to look for trouble.

Healthy medicinal diet? Does your Li family run a medicine hall or do you have medical skills passed down from your ancestors? Do you know any medicinal materials and their effects and yet you dare to make them for your guests? How could you know that the medicine is three-thirds poisonous? If you don’t know the efficacy of the medicine and don’t know the dosage, you will definitely get something wrong!
The restaurant owner couldn't see that the herbal restaurant was stealing his business door-to-door, and wanted to severely damage the herbal restaurant, so he directly asked the doctor to sit in the lobby, and ordered several medicated dishes for the doctor to try. Is this medicated meal as the waiter said? It really has such good effects and is beneficial to the body.

This place also attracted a lot of people from three floors outside to watch.

The news that a herbal restaurant has been opened here has spread throughout Luoshui City. Many people who have eaten there said it is good, but some people are still waiting to see. Just as the restaurant owner said, they don’t dare to do anything related to medicine. Feel free to eat whatever you want.

So knowing that a doctor has come to speak out, there will naturally be many people watching.

The owner of the restaurant had the mentality of watching a good show, but he didn't expect that his effort and money would actually create a reputation for the medicated restaurant, causing customers to rush to the medicated restaurant.

Just because the doctor with good medical skills carefully tasted several medicinal dishes and listened to the waiter's introduction to the efficacy, he stroked his beard and nodded, and said straightly: "The dosage is wonderful! Just like this Huaishan Codonopsis quail soup, it is good for strengthening the spleen. It has the effect of stomach, long-term consumption has the effect of nourishing food for people with loss of appetite and indigestion caused by weak spleen and stomach, and it is symptomatic! ”

When everyone heard that the old doctor with a good reputation in Luoshui City said this, they all immediately came to the shop without any hesitation.

In the end, the medicated food restaurant was packed with seats, and the medicated food was not enough to sell.

The restaurant manager was so stunned that he almost smashed his own feet with a rock.
