Lin Qingyu has been reborn. In her previous life, the marriage she painstakingly managed ended with two miscarried children, and she witnessed her husband accompanying her best friend for prenatal ...
Gu Xichao took out a small box from his pocket, which looked very exquisite.
Lin Qingyu noticed him at this moment and walked over curiously.
"Xiao Bao, you even prepared a gift for Xiao Yu Yu?"
Gu Xichao opened the box, inside was a pair of silver bracelets, adjustable, clearly meant for children.
“Aunt, didn’t we always call her Xiao Bei? I saw this when I was in the South. I heard from others that it can bring good luck and I think it’s perfect for her to wear!”
Lin Qingyu was genuinely surprised that Gu Xichao was so thoughtful, and quickly said, "Xiaobao, you really went to great lengths. You're still so young, and you bought her such a nice thing!"
As she spoke, she reached out and put the bracelet on Gu Jue's wrist for Gu Xichao, saying, "It's just a nickname anyway, you can call me whatever you want!"
Hearing the commotion, Gu Shi and Li Xiuhua, who were standing nearby, came over.
Li Xiuhua thanked him repeatedly, while Gu Shi nodded affirmatively, saying that he hadn't spoiled his nephew for nothing.
Zhang Juan also praised, "This child is destined for great things; he's so young yet already knows how to care for his younger sister!"
Everyone laughed and agreed, but unexpectedly she continued, "Young man, have you thought about arranging a marriage? My family..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xichao interrupted him: "No need, I'm still young and in school, I don't need it!"
Although he was still smiling, Zhang Juan, who was staring at him, felt that the child seemed a little angry.
However, Zhang Juan didn't care. She was just joking. If Gu Xichao really meant it, she wouldn't know how to tell the woman's side!
The group chatted and laughed, then changed the subject, and no one took today's events to heart.
Once home, Gu Xichao followed Lin Qingyu around, helping out at the small restaurant.
Zhou Jiahui felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing him. This proprietress's nephew was very capable and had a pleasant voice, though he was a bit young...
However, she only thought about it, but every time Gu Xichao went to the restaurant to help out, she would chat and joke with him.
"Little brother, what do you eat at home? How come you're so tall!"
Gu Xichao always looked harmless as a child, but somehow he's become more and more like a child as he grows up, he said with a sweet smile.
"Maybe it's because my uncle is tall! I inherited that from him. You're very pretty too, sister!"
Gu Xichao's height is approaching that of Gu Shi, almost as tall as him, and Gu Xichao will grow even taller, eventually surpassing Gu Shi.
Zhou Jiahui was delighted by Gu Xichao's few words and couldn't stop smiling.
She kept touching her braided pigtails, her gaze repeatedly falling on Gu Xichao.
But reason tells me that he's just a child, not yet an adult, and the landlady's nephew.
When Zhou Jiahui thought of this, she became extremely clear-headed.
However, she also often swooned over Gu Xichao, who was also very handsome.
The small restaurant was a bit busy today, so the two of them didn't exchange more than a few words before heading off to serve customers.
Many people come specifically for Lin Qingyu's medicinal cuisine.
The main reason is that it contains some special medicinal herbs, and the decoction method is also particular, so it is not something that ordinary people can learn.
"Boss lady! When will you be serving your osmanthus yam soup again? I love it!"
Lin Qingyu looked at the young lady with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "I'm sorry, it can only be available in October when the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom!"
"Boss lady! Is your pork tripe and sea cucumber soup suitable for postpartum women? It's very nourishing, isn't it?"
Lin Qingyu then busied herself introducing the product to the man, saying, "Brother, this is something you can eat during postpartum confinement, but only after you've completely recovered. It's very nourishing, but it also promotes blood circulation!"
"Boss lady! You should be able to sell me your Poria and Red Date Porridge now, right? I want to take it home for my grandma, she hasn't been sleeping well lately."
Finally finding someone who could help, Lin Qingyu quickly said, "Yes, yes, I'll write down a prescription for you so you can make it at home!"
As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from behind the counter and started writing with a pencil next to him.
The young girl who asked the question said incredulously, "You can't do that! Wouldn't that mean you've revealed your family's secret recipe, boss lady?"
Lin Qingyu said without looking up, "This recipe is quite simple, and you need to take it for a long time to see results. I've written it down for you, so you can make it at home from now on!"
Many people around heard this, and their goodwill towards Lin Qingyu increased even further.
No wonder the Jade Restaurant is so popular. Just look at Lin Qingyu's attitude. Even if her family doesn't have Chinese medicinal cuisine, their business will definitely boom one day.
"You're such a kind person, boss lady! I'll definitely come to your restaurant often from now on. My grandma will be so grateful to you for writing this recipe for me!"
The little girl was dressed very nicely, and her hair was styled in the most fashionable big wavy curls. You could tell at a glance that she was spoiled at home.
However, with such filial piety, it's a testament to the family's worth in raising such a child.
Lin Qingyu handed her the note she had just written and added, "These are nothing. If your grandma isn't feeling well, you still need to take her to the hospital!"
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, boss lady!"
The little girl happily paid and then stepped back into the crowd to wait for her Chinese herbal meal.
Many people saw this scene, and some of them became eager to do the same.
"Boss lady, could you write down a recipe for me too? I want to make it for my mom when I get home!"
The speaker was a young man. What was he buying? Lin Qingyu glanced at the booklet in her hand.
"Ahem, are you sure you want me to write you this recipe for stewed pork kidneys with dogwood? This isn't for women!"
Lin Qingyu emphasized the words "pig kidneys," which caused the people around her to burst into laughter.
"This young man looks quite... how come he..."
"That's right! It seems you really can't judge a book by its cover!"
"Hahaha! Are you trying to get a prescription for free?"
Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, the young man shook his head in embarrassment and retreated with his face flushed. At that moment, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lin Qingyu has experienced this situation countless times in the past few days.
Even more outrageous cases involve people whose family members are seriously ill, yet they refuse to go to the hospital for treatment, instead pinning their hopes on simple Chinese medicinal cuisine.
Lin Qingyu would try to persuade people like this if she could, and if she couldn't persuade them, she would tell them that traditional Chinese medicine diets could not cure diseases, but could only regulate their condition.
Some people immediately refunded their money after hearing this, while others left cursing and swearing.
As the first place in Xinshi City to specialize in selling Chinese medicinal cuisine, you're bound to encounter all sorts of people!
Lin Qingyu had made plans long ago, which is why she was able to tell each person so precisely about the effects of the medicinal food they bought.
