"After Junior Master left, we squeezed for more than an hour before we got to the front and saw the goddess. She was sitting behind a thick tent, surrounded by soldiers, with a veil on her face, so we didn't know what she looked like.
The people lined up, and those who were called knelt on the ground, crawled forward on their knees, and waited for the goddess' blessing.
"Kneeling? Meaning walking forward on your knees? What does she take the people for?"
Several disciples were indignant.
Yu Wei sneered, "This goddess is most likely a fake with a false reputation. I saw a real goddess a few years ago. She just set up a stall outside the city and started treating patients. Why are there so many rules?"
Xie Ling glanced at Yu Wei.
She really didn't expect that Yu Wei had such a good memory and could still remember the process of treating the people.
Yu Wei noticed Xie Ling's gaze, propped up her chin, and looked thoughtful, "Don't mention it, I think Junior Master and that goddess have similar temperaments, both are very aloof, but there is no sense of distance, and it seems that they are easy to get along with."
Xie Ling took a sip of milk tea and smiled: "Really?"
The disciple continued, "After the people came forward, the goddess first sprinkled a handful of smoke, then used a willow branch to dip light red water and sprinkled it on the people, and finally gave them a pill and asked them to eat it."
All the disciples frowned.
Under Xie Ling's teaching for several years, the disciples of Mingyue Island naturally scoffed at such empty things.
When seeing a doctor, you should do practical things and treat the patient with care. Why do you need to do all these fancy things?
The disciple who was speaking waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me. The strange thing is that the goddess's operation actually worked! I observed the people who received the blessing, and their complexions were getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye. They kowtowed in surprise and said that their stomachaches and headaches no longer existed..."
"Ah? How is that possible? Is she really a goddess?"
"Uncle Junior Master, what's going on?"
Everyone looked at Xie Ling.
Xie Ling hushed, "Don't worry, listen to what Yuqing and the others are saying. Yuqing, did you see what the pill looked like?"
Yuqing looked strange, "I was just about to say this, the pill is black, and there is no herb in it."
"ah?"
"Did you see that correctly?"
There was an uproar in the box.
The other two disciples who went with him shook their heads. "It's OK that Senior Brother Yuqing is the only one who made a mistake, but what about us? We didn't see any trace of herbs. It was just an ordinary black ball. I don't know what it was made of. It looks like a dung ball."
The disciples of Mingyue Island have been learning to identify herbs since childhood and have an amazing sense of smell. Even if the medicine is made into pills, they can tell which herbs are used by relying on their eyes and nose.
Listening to the three people's words, Xie Ling felt confused.
It's so weird.
What on earth is this fake goddess doing?
She pondered for a moment and said, "At present, we can only find a few people who have been treated by the goddess to see what is going on. Yuqing, the three of you will continue to queue up tomorrow. It would be best if you can get a pill back."
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter came up to the box carrying a hot pot.
"Be careful, dears! The hot pot is very hot!"
Double-boiled hotpot, half clear soup, half red soup.
The dishes had already been served.
The disciples were already starving and couldn't wait to start cooking.
One of the disciples was curious and asked while picking up some food: "Hey, other restaurants are called something Tang or something Xuan, why is yours called Ling Da Guo?"
The waiter chuckled: "Because our boss's name contains the word ling."
After saying that, he winked and said, "Nowadays, there are Yang Daguo and Chen Daguo on the street, but please recognize Ling Daguo. We are the pioneer of hot pot, and the taste is unique. We are a chain of seven countries, and we have it in every slightly prosperous city."
Thinking about how popular Ling Daguo was, the disciples were shocked, "I can't imagine how much money this big boss must make."
The waiter curved his lips and said, "If you need anything, just call us. Our store also has various special projects, such as free makeup and nail polish. Ladies, you can experience them one by one later..."
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.
Whether it is the chain milk tea shop "Ling Wei Tea" or the hot pot restaurant "Ling Da Guo", they all carry her name.
The Gao family is really honest.
She couldn't wait to see her friends.
Everyone was sitting in a box on the third floor. Through the window, they could see beauties dancing in the hall on the first floor and musicians playing elegant melodies.
However, in the hot pot restaurant, the customers were talking loudly and it was a bit noisy, the music was not clear, but the beauty's dance was graceful.
There were various stalls next to the hall, and there were long queues, all filled with young women.
This should be the makeup and manicure services that the waiter just mentioned.
Several female disciples came to the window and stared at the stalls below without blinking.
After all, she is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, it is impossible for her not to love beauty.
What's more, life on Mingyue Island was poor, and the girls were even more curious about these girlish toys.
Xie Ling was very considerate. "Go and line up. We'll wait for you here. It won't be too late to go to the inn together later."
The little girls wanted to rush up and hug Xie Ling and kiss her a few times.
"Thank you, Junior Master!"
After expressing their thanks, several people ran downstairs like butterflies.
Xie Ling asked the waiter some questions, wanting to get a brief idea of the current business status of the hot pot and milk tea shop and whether it had been suppressed by the government.
"Brother, how many hot pot restaurants do you have in total? We are traveling doctors, and we are afraid that we will not be able to eat here if we leave Dongling Country."
