When Lan Yamei came downstairs, Menglan was chatting excitedly with Tietou. When she saw Lan Yamei coming over, she said cheerfully, "Sister Lan, take a look and see if these meats and vegetables are okay? This is my first time doing this job, so if there's anything wrong, please point it out and I'll fix it right away."

Lan Ya Mei first glanced at the two carts of vegetables and one cart of fish, along with half a pig. The items were neatly arranged, clean, varied, and very fresh, so she was naturally very satisfied.

Looking at the villagers escorting the vegetables, they were all strong and burly men, unlike Er Gou's mother back then. Er Gou's mother had hired an old man to drive the cart, who wasn't very energetic.

"Thank you for your hard work, Menglan! You're really capable. Keep it up from now on, and Tietou will handle the delivery for you." Lan Yamei pointed at Tietou.

"Me?" Tie Tou pointed to his chest in disbelief.

"It's you! Tie Tou, from now on I can only entrust this shop to you to manage." Lan Ya Mei said sincerely.

The idea for this project actually started in Menglan's courtyard. Tietou was a loyal and devoted brother who deserved to be promoted and given important responsibilities.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Tie Tou waved his hands repeatedly.

“A real man can’t say no! Besides, you’ve been doing this for quite a while now, what’s so difficult about running this little barbecue shop? Just keep running it the way you always have!” Lan Yamei made up her mind.

"Alright, I'll give it a try. If I don't do a good job, you can fire me anytime," Tie Tou said憨憨地.

"Remove you? No way!" Lan Yamei shook her head. "If you can't do it well, learn! You have to do it well!"

Tie Tou scratched his chubby head, nodded, and said, "I'll try my best."

"Alright, the first step is to coordinate with Menglan regarding the estate's procurement. Go!" Lan Yamei instructed.

Tie Tou immediately followed Meng Lan and the convoy to the backyard.

Just then, Manager Wang saw this from across the street and ran over with a grin, saying, "Manager Lan, I see that no one has come to apply for a job at your clinic yet. What are we going to do the day after tomorrow?"

"Manager Wang, do you want me to be well, or not?" Lan Yamei was a little annoyed. Why was this fat middle-aged man everywhere, and he was so sharp-eyed?

Shopkeeper Wang wasn't angry. He still smiled and said, "Of course I hope you do well! And I see clearly that you're no ordinary person! Your future development is absolutely immeasurable! Not to mention Longyang Town, even Lin'an, or even Chang'an, you'll be this good." He then gave a thumbs up.

"Thank you for your kind words! However, since Manager Wang is keeping an eye on my clinic, he must have something to say. You might as well speak frankly."

"To be honest, I do have someone I'd like to recommend to you, but he's a bit arrogant and probably costs a lot of money," Manager Wang said mysteriously.

"Oh? Tell me, how good is your medical skill?" Lan Yamei became interested. If they could find a good doctor, Zhao Zhicheng would be able to relax a lot and free up his hands to investigate the missing Aunt Guan and Uncle Ouyang.

"This person lives in Heaven on Earth!" Manager Wang said mysteriously.

"Heaven and Earth, isn't that a brothel?" Lan Yamei knew about this place.

It used to be located in Longyang Town, but was later taken away by Hua Yuhe and moved to the Lishui River in Lin'an City. In addition, it was not as powerful as Hua Manlou, and the girls were not good-looking, so few people went there, and it barely survived for many years.

“Now that Hua Manlou is gone, there’s bound to be business over there,” Manager Wang said with a chilling smile.

"Just say what you want to say, I'm very busy."

"Alright, alright, I'll be frank. But I only heard it from a passerby who was eating there. That man is the False Reputation Taoist who ran away from the Shura Taoist Temple! You should have heard that Shura Mountain inexplicably caught fire, and everything was burned to the ground. That Taoist then fled. And he just happened to be hiding in Heaven on Earth. This is an opportunity." Manager Wang lowered his voice as he said this. "He has good medical skills, and you need someone. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Upon hearing that it was the Taoist of False Reputation, Lan Ya Mei waved her hand, "Never mind, never mind!"

"Why not?" Manager Wang couldn't understand.

"A small temple can't accommodate a great deity! By the way, Manager Wang has helped me a lot. What can I do for you?" Lan Yamei changed the subject.

When this was mentioned, Manager Wang said with a bitter face, "I also want to learn how to barbecue from you! My Zui Xiang Lou restaurant is almost going out of business. If you open for business here, my place will definitely go under."

"Is that so? It's not impossible, but there can only be one barbecue restaurant in the entire Longyang Town! If you learn it and open it across from me, how am I supposed to do business?" Lan Yamei had already guessed that he wanted to learn her business, so she deliberately teased him.

To everyone's surprise, Manager Wang immediately declared, "I'll open a shop in Lin'an! I'll stay far away from you and won't affect your business at all, I swear." Manager Wang then raised his hand to swear.

Lan Yamei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, once you're ready, I'll take you as my apprentice immediately."

Shopkeeper Wang's face flushed with excitement. "Alright! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!" Lan Yamei also said.

Manager Wang immediately jogged back to Zuixianglou, without Lan Yamei asking any questions.

At this moment, Tie Tou and Meng Lan returned to the main hall.

Menglan said, "Sister Lan, the items have been counted, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lan Yamei didn't stand on ceremony to keep her, as there were too many things to do at the shop.

Before leaving, Menglan looked around and departed somewhat forlornly.

Tie Tou said excitedly, "Manager Lan, we're still missing an accountant."

Before Lan Yamei could speak, a young man in white riding a horse entered from outside the door, catching Lan Yamei's attention.

The boy appeared to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, not much older than Wang Fengyang. He dismounted decisively and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, asking, "Excuse me, is this the number one barbecue restaurant in the world?"

"Yes, who are you looking for?" Tie Tou asked.

"I'm looking for my young master, his name is Qiu Zeyu," the young man said confidently.
