Chapter 26: Medicinal Meal Shop
After Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran left, the members of the Nan family hurried to Yang Xiao Tian’s side.
Seeing Yang Xiao Tian’s gloomy expression, they realized they had to say something quickly or they would truly offend him!
"Young Master Yang, please calm down! My daughter is becoming harder to manage! But don’t worry! I will have a good talk with her! I will make sure she knows that being with you is the happiest choice!"
Nan Zhan Fei looked at Yang Xiao Tian with a flattering expression, while Xu Qing quickly chimed in.
"Yes, Young Master Yang! You are so handsome; that country bumpkin can’t compare to you at all! My daughter just got confused for a moment! But don’t worry, I will bring her back even if I have to tie her up! I won’t let her have anything to do with that country bumpkin!"
Hearing their words, Yang Xiao Tian’s expression softened a bit.
After all, Nan Zhan Fei and Xu Qing were Nan Yue Ran’s parents, so their words held some weight.
At this moment, Nan Xuan Fei also approached with a flattering look.
"Brother, don’t be upset! My sister is just too stubborn! We will all work together to help her see things clearly! You haven’t been back for five years; she might just be throwing a little tantrum!"
Yang Xiao Tian glanced at Nan Xuan Fei a few times, but he didn’t have a strong impression of her.
"I’m Yang Ling’s fiancée!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao Tian suddenly understood, his gaze roving over Nan Xuan Fei’s figure.
"Oh~ So you are Xiao Ling’s fiancée! Haven’t we met before?"
"Yes, brother! You were abroad when I was seventeen! We met at the karaoke party when we sent you off!"
"I see.”
As Yang Xiao Tian looked at Nan Xuan Fei’s curvy figure and beautiful face, his smile grew even brighter.
After all, Nan Xuan Fei and Nan Yue Ran were cousins, so they shared some similarities.
"Since you are Xiao Ling’s fiancée, we are family now; let’s exchange contact information!"
Hearing this, Nan Xuan Fei’s smile widened even more, and when she caught Yang Xiao Tian’s lingering gaze, her cheeks flushed.
Seeing this scene made Yang Xiao Tian feel a rush of heat.
After exchanging contact information, Yang Xiao Tian spoke earnestly to Nan Xuan Fei.
"Please keep an eye on your sister when you go back and make sure she stays away from that country bumpkin! Let me know if you hear anything!"
"Of course!"
Nan Xuan Fei responded with a bright smile, but her thoughts were already different.
She definitely didn’t want Nan Yue Ran to end up with Yang Xiao Tian!
If only she could…
Meanwhile, back at home, Bai Chen began preparing for the opening of his new shop.
With Bai Nian Nian’s school start date approaching, it was crucial to get the shop open and start earning money as soon as possible.
Three days later, Bai Chen’s new shop successfully held its grand opening.
Bai Chen chose to operate a medicinal meal shop, which was different from traditional restaurants; his was a medicinal meal shop.
“Is the boss in? Is this a new restaurant? What food do you serve?”
On the opening day, a passerby was attracted into Bai Chen’s medicinal meal shop.
Bai Chen gently looked up and pointed to the menu on the wall.
Since the medicinal meal shop had just opened, he did not have many dishes prepared.
“Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup, Six Yang Giving Birth Soup, Snow Lotus Boil, Red Essence Blood Formula? What are these? Don’t you have stir-fried dishes or rice?”
“I serve medicinal meals here, no stir-fried dishes.”
“Alright, then I’ll have a bowl of Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup!”
“Take a look at the price first.”
“It’s just a bowl of chicken soup. How expensive can it be?”
The customer mumbled casually, but when his eyes fell on the price list, he was shocked.
“What! You want 1888 for a bowl of chicken soup? Are you robbing me?”
Bai Chen gently shook his head.
“Of course not; this is just the basic level. There are also intermediate, high, and top-level options priced at 5888, 18888, and 28888.”
After hearing this, the customer’s eyes nearly popped out in shock.
“Is this a scam?”
Bai Chen shook his head again.
“I’m selling it at a high price for a reason. The ingredients for my Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup alone are quite valuable, and with my method of brewing the herbal soup, drinking it will only benefit your health.”
“Also, I can see you seem to be quite tired; do you often stay up late for work?”
Bai Chen looked at the customer in front of him, whose complexion was dark and drained, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
“Boss, you also know medicine?”
“I know a little.”
Fang Wenhui hesitated.
He wasn’t short on money; 1888 was a small amount for him, but he didn’t want to be a fool.
What really made him hesitate was how Bai Chen had instantly seen his condition.
As a small construction boss, he often stayed up late, and now his body was indeed feeling the toll.
“Then… I’ll have a bowl of Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup!”
Fang Wenhui gritted his teeth, deciding to see if this dish is as magical as Bai Chen claimed.
Seeing this, Bai Chen smiled slightly and got to work.
He took out the traditional Chinese medicine he had bought from Liu Yuming and began to brew it slowly.
Once the Eight Treasure Soup was ready, he brought out a black chicken and added it to the herbal soup to simmer.
Before long, the fragrant blend of herbal aroma mixed with the scent of the black chicken wafted into Fang Wenhui’s nose.
“Quite interesting! Just smelling this, I can tell it’s delicious!”
Anticipation rose in Fang Wenhui’s heart. Soon, Bai Chen placed the improved Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup in front of him.
“This…”
Looking at the Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup in front of him, Fang Wenhui instinctively swallowed.
He first picked up the soup spoon and took a sip.
As the hot soup entered his mouth, he felt a warmness, followed by a fragrant herbal flavor, and then the meatiness of the black chicken blossomed in his mouth!
After that, a sweet herbal aftertaste filled his mouth.
Just this sip of soup made Fang Wenhui exclaim in delight!
“It’s so delicious! Better than anything I’ve ever eaten!”
After finishing the soup, he took a bite of the meat.
What should have been slightly tough and dry black chicken, due to being cooked too long, melted in his mouth!
“Wow! This is incredibly delicious!”
As he spoke, tears of joy streamed down Fang Wenhui’s face.
“I’ve never eaten anything this good in my life!”
While wiping his tears, he gobbled down his meal, leaving Bai Chen stunned.
He had only added a black chicken to the Eight Treasure Soup recipe; could it be that good? It made someone cry!
In just a while, a large bowl of Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup was devoured by Fang Wenhui, not even leaving the chicken bones behind!
“Burp~ Worth it! This is really worth it! Don’t say 1888; I’d gladly pay 2888!”
At that moment, Fang Wenhui remembered what Bai Chen said about the intermediate, high, and top versions of the Eight Treasure Black Chicken Soup.
He was curious about what those flavors would be like, but unfortunately, he was already full.
After happily paying, as he left, he still felt a lingering sweetness, and a warmth surged in his body.
The previously hazy feeling disappeared, and his mind felt incredibly clear.
After sending off his first customer, it was a good start for the day.
At that moment, a surprised voice rang out.
“Wow? You opened this medicinal meal shop?”
