Guo Yu Shi said goodbye to Chen Wang Bai Haoge, walked out and down the stairs, and came to the hotel lobby, but did not see the owner behind the counter.
He looked around and saw the owner sleeping soundly on the sofa in the other direction.
He quickly lowered his footsteps and quietly walked out of the hotel, not daring to disturb the owner.
After leaving the hotel, he walked to the vending machine in the gatehouse and bought five boxes of self-heating hot pot.
He didn't plan to buy anything else for the time being. If he bought too much, he wouldn't be able to take it back, so he would have to send someone to buy more.
Medical Valley is located in the southwest of Changling County. He left the official road and walked forward for a distance, then came to a forest.
I saw water vapor rising from the mountains and forests, the fragrance of grass and trees wafting in my face, and the wind became a little cooler, but there were dense swarms of flying insects flying around, which was very annoying.
Guo Yushi held five boxes of self-heating hot pot in his left hand and his medicine box in his right hand, and walked along the tree-lined path towards the Medical Valley.
As he was about to walk towards the entrance of Medical Valley, Guo Yushi glanced to his left.
I saw that about twenty feet away from the valley entrance, there was a forest that had been cut down by humans, and a large mountain inn was built there.
At this moment, the inn is bustling with people coming and going. Most of the people who come to Medical Valley for medical treatment rest, eat and stay here.
However, this inn is not part of Medical Valley's business. Medical Valley has always relied on curing illnesses and saving lives. It has no intention of getting involved in this business and does not want to ruin its reputation.
Therefore, this inn is actually one of the many businesses of the Ming family in Luoying Fort.
The Ming family is a well-known and powerful family in the world. It has considerable influence both in the court and outside the court. There is also a master of the Tongxuan realm in the family, and its strength is not inferior to that of the Medical Valley.
The realms of martial arts are divided into the following categories: acquired, innate, profound, and transformed.
According to legend, after reaching the realm of perfection in cultivation, one can break through the void and ascend to become an immortal.
But legends are just legends after all. A martial artist in the Transformation Realm has not appeared for a long time. In today's martial arts world, a master in the Profound Realm is already a rare one in the world.
Any force that has a master of the Tongxuan realm in charge is qualified to become one of the top forces in the world.
This inn is backed by the Ming family, and few people dare to cause trouble here.
And because it is very close to the Medical Valley, even though it is unsatisfactory, perfunctory and expensive, there are still people who keep coming here to rest, eat and stay.
People often protested to Yigu about this inn, but the head of Yigu never cared and was unwilling to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming family.
In fact, the relationship between Yigu and the Ming family is quite good. Of course, Yigu has a good relationship with most forces.
Guo Yushi glanced at the inn and secretly felt regretful in his heart. It would be great if the Xianyuan Hotel was located next to the Medical Valley.
In this way, he can visit the hotel by just walking a few steps outside, and this "black shop" opened by the Ming family will definitely be squeezed out.
The Ming family is really too much. They obviously have the ability to open a better store, but they rely on their own advantages to do things perfunctorily, preventing him from enjoying the best food without going out.
After approaching the Medical Valley, there were almost no flying insects in the forest. Guo Yu Shi had an idea and turned to walk towards the Ming Inn.
He chose a table and sat down under the tent outside the inn.
It has to be said that the tables and stools were quite dirty, covered with all kinds of old dirt. Having just come out of that hotel, he couldn't help feeling extremely uncomfortable, even a little nauseous.
Soon a waiter recognized him and trotted over, enthusiastically asking about his well-being and what he needed.
While greeting him, the waiter was also very careful not to reveal Guo Yu Shi's identity, so as to prevent people seeking medical treatment nearby from coming to see Guo Yu Shi.
Guo Yushi placed the medicine box and five boxes of self-heating hot pot on the table and said, "Two large bowls of water and a cup of hot tea."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Although he only asked for tea, the waiter did not change his attitude. He still smiled at him and turned around and left quickly.
Rarity makes them valuable. Even in the Medical Valley, there aren't many doctors of Guo Yushi's caliber. Each of them is renowned and highly respected. Most people wouldn't even bother to show their good will, so how could they easily offend them?
Soon, the waiter brought the tea that Guo Yushi ordered, and he stood aside waiting curiously.
Guo Yushi tore open the packaging of the self-heating hot pot and began to pour the ingredients in order, pouring water into the outer box and inner box, and finally covered the lid and waited for the self-heating hot pot to be cooked.
Guo Yushi found that the waiter did not show any abnormality, but just looked at the box of self-heating hot pot curiously.
The waiter wasn't standing far away, but he didn't seem to know anything about the self-heating hot pot. Guo Yushi couldn't help but wonder, could it be that only when you're inside the hotel can you know the status of the hotel's various items?
Soon, a spicy aroma emanated from the pores, which was strong and stimulating, making people's appetites whet.
People around were attracted one after another, including the guests in the inn, the innkeeper, the inn waiter, and the people who were queuing at the entrance of the Medical Valley not far away also cast their eyes over.
A dissatisfied customer said, "Boss, didn't you say that customers are not allowed to bring in food from outside? Did you sell this box in your store?"
The innkeeper glanced at the man coldly and said, "Of course not. Some people are naturally able to ignore our rules. If you are strong enough, even if you dine here and do nothing, we will definitely not pursue the matter."
All the guests were speechless for a moment, and no one questioned the rules of the inn anymore. It wasn't entirely because they were afraid of the inn's own strength, but more because they were afraid of the Ming family behind the inn.
Guo Yushi: "..."
As a beneficiary, he has nothing to say.
After a while, a young customer asked Guo Yushi, "Senior, where did you buy this self-heating hot pot?"
Guo Yushi immediately replied, "Xianyuan Hotel, just outside the south gate of the county town."
"Xianyuan Hotel?" another person said in shock, "I passed by there this morning, but that store is not..." The man hesitated and didn't finish his words.
Guo Yushi said, "That shop is a bit strange, but I've already been there, and I'm fine now. Everything in that shop is unprecedented. Not only is the Ming's Inn far inferior to it, but even the restaurants and inns in the county are far inferior. I think the owner of that shop might be an immortal playing in the human world."
When the owner of Ming's Inn heard this, his face turned blue and red, and he almost burst into cursing.
He gave Guo Yu Shi face, but Guo Yu Shi didn't give him any face at all. Not only did he praise the store, but he also deliberately criticized Ming's Inn again and again.
The most hateful thing is that they used the county’s restaurants and inns to bully him.
The innkeeper took a deep breath, a hint of a sneer on his face. "Immortal? Since everyone's saying something's strange, who can guarantee that the innkeeper isn't a demon? The demon hasn't harmed anyone yet, maybe he's just playing the long game to catch a bigger fish, right?"
Guo Yushi disapproved, "That shop owner possesses immense powers. If he really wanted to harm people, he could probably kill many with a wave of his hand. Why would he go through so much trouble?"
The innkeeper said, "Perhaps the owner has been restricted in some way, or perhaps he's simply a spent force, a facade, using tricks to deceive others. Once enough people join in, the owner might turn against him."
Guo Yushi retorted, "You haven't seen it with your own eyes. Isn't it unfair to make such a random judgment based on your own imagination? At least in my opinion, the owner does have extraordinary powers, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."
Suddenly someone in the crowd said, "Boss, you're slandering that store so much because you're afraid that store will steal your business, right?"
The innkeeper suddenly calmed down, rolled his eyes, and said, "Nonsense! Why should our inn compete with that one? Well, forget it. You don't even know how to cherish your own lives, so what else can I say? Go wherever you want."
He walked through the crowd and turned into the inn lobby.
After being reminded, he suddenly realized that there was no need for him to be angry.
The Xianyuan Hotel is far away from the county town and some distance away from the Medical Valley. It poses no threat to the Ming's Inn and cannot steal the customers of the Ming's Inn.
On the contrary, it is the restaurants and inns in the county that really need to be worried about.
It just so happened that the Ming family actually owned a restaurant and an inn in the county town; it just so happened that he had always been at odds with the owners of those two stores and had a deep grudge against them.
Is there any need for him to be anxious? Not only does he not need to be anxious, but he should be gloating over the misfortune.
After entering the lobby, he almost laughed out loud.
Why had his Ming's Inn never gotten off the ground? Wasn't it all because the Ming family's restaurants and inns in Changling County were competing with him for both staff and property? The higher-ups believed his inn's prime location meant he didn't need to invest too much, so he naturally followed orders.
But as the owner of an inn, did he really not want to run the place well? Did he really want to listen to guests' complaints and dissatisfaction all day long? Of course not!
Looking at the box of self-heating hot pot that Guo Yushi bought, it looked like it didn't need to be eaten right after purchase, and it smelled so fragrant, so it must have tasted great too.
Perhaps, when the time is right, he can go to the hotel to purchase a batch and then provide it to the guests waiting for medical treatment nearby, which may not be able to restore the reputation of the inn.
After a cup of tea.
The shopkeeper suddenly smelled a stronger aroma outside the shop, and heard the crowd exclaiming and cheering:
"There's so much red oil in this soup. It's such a small box of soup, but it uses so much oil. It's really extravagant."
"What kind of ingredient is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"What? A box of self-heating hot pot like this only costs forty coins? But it uses so much oil and water. Isn't the owner of that shop afraid of losing money?"
"It smells so good, sir. I see you have four boxes left. Can you sell me one?"
The shopkeeper finally couldn't sit still anymore and hurried out of the inn lobby, took the bowls and chopsticks from the shop, walked through the crowd and walked towards Guo Yushi: "Can you give me some? It's just enough to cover the tea bill."
Guests: “…”
Guo Yushi: "..."
The shopkeeper blushed and said, "Just one or two pieces will be fine. Let me taste it. If it tastes really good, maybe we'll go and buy some."
A customer jokingly asked, "Boss, didn't you say that store was run by demons and monsters?"
The shopkeeper's face was stiff, his neck stiff, and he said, "That's just speculation, just speculation."
The guest then quipped, "Maybe he's just playing the long game to catch a bigger fish."
The shopkeeper glared at the man and said, "What's it to you?! I suddenly changed my mind, is that not okay?"
Since the owner of Ming's Inn had come to his senses, Guo Yu Shi didn't mind giving him some. He kept the meat that he preferred and gave away a lot of the vegetables.
The shopkeeper sat down opposite Guo Yushi and started eating with his bowl against his back.
After taking the first bite, his eyes widened in shock.
This was the first time he had tasted such a domineering flavor. It was spicier than ginger, yet much more delicious. It was so stimulating that his tongue began to feel numb.
The thing he hated most in his life was the taste of ginger, but this taste, which was even spicier than ginger, did not taste unpleasant at all. Instead, the more he ate it, the more addicted he became.
Guo Yushi studied his expression and asked, "Is it delicious?"
The shopkeeper ate and nodded repeatedly: "Delicious!"
After hearing his words, Guo Yushi suddenly felt a sense of pride.
As one of the first people to discover delicious food, doesn't he have reason to be proud that the delicacy he tasted was recognized by people who originally didn't recognize it?
The guests at the inn asked to buy it again, but he still refused their request.
He plans to take the remaining four boxes back home and let his family try them.
Especially his cowardly and weak-willed son. This unfilial son was so afraid that he didn't come to the hotel earlier, causing his old father to almost miss the delicious food.
If he deserves punishment, let him watch his parents eat while he himself cannot eat.
