Chapter 352 Auspicious Day
Ye Ling went out early and came back late every day to do the renovation of the courtyard, and ran to various departments to apply for business licenses. Cheng Qiao also squeezed time to prepare medicinal materials. She cooked each medicinal porridge by herself and then tasted the flavor.
If the medicinal flavor is too strong, use less medicinal materials; if the medicinal flavor is too weak, add a few grams of medicinal materials. All of these were recorded by Cheng Qiao. Even the amount of rice, water, medicinal materials, and heat in a pot of porridge were clearly recorded.
Xiao Nuan seemed to understand that this herbal medicine hall was her property. Whenever she saw Cheng Qiao experimenting with the medicinal porridge, she would stand beside her and start working with her little brain, remembering what she should remember and learning what she should learn.
Seeing that Xiao Nuan also became interested in medicinal herbs, Ye Jun couldn't help but feel very happy. If he could teach one, he could teach two as well, not to mention that they were twins, so it would be easier for them to learn.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed. The decoration of the herbal medicine hall had been completed and the chefs in the kitchen were also in place. When Cheng Qiao learned that these chefs were retired army cooks, he felt something was wrong.
Ye Ling pulled her aside and quietly told Cheng Qiao that these cooks were hired by her father, and that medicinal food was a secret recipe that could not be leaked.
Cheng Qiao nodded. Since Ye Ling owned half of the store, it was only natural for her to keep the secret. However, she did not expect Ye Chengying to be so fast.
But there was one thing that Cheng Qiao was very satisfied with. These retired cooks were more rigorous than ordinary people. Cheng Qiao stood in the large kitchen converted from the living room and yard and taught them how to cook porridge step by step.
Two days later, all the chefs chose a kind of medicinal porridge and started working. They kept in mind what Cheng Qiao said, that although medicinal food is food, it contains medicine and the amount must be precise.
The opening date was finally decided on May 8, 1979. That was an auspicious day that Ye Jun found by looking through the almanac, and he also informed Ye Chengying.
Ye Chengying said that he would definitely come on the opening day. After all, it was his daughter's shop, so how could he be absent? Ye Chengying happily prepared gifts and went, while Wu Hongxin on the mountain was so angry that she smashed the basin.
He had received news early in the morning that Cheng Qiao and Ye Ling were cooperating to open a herbal medicine restaurant, and originally wanted to insert a few spies to steal Cheng Qiao's secrets.
Who would have thought that everything from the kitchen to the waiters, from security to coal delivery had been occupied by Ye Chengying's people. Is it so difficult to get some benefits for his subordinates?
"Chief, why don't you just tell Cheng Qiao or Ye Jun that this is a good thing for the country and the people. As Chinese people, shouldn't they devote everything they have to the country and the people?"
When the captain of the guard saw Wu Hongxin losing his temper, he couldn't help but become anxious and quickly offered some advice.
Wu Hongxin looked at the chief guard as if he was a fool. Although there were many people with special abilities in China, none of them joined the special department voluntarily.
Especially those with powerful superpowers, if you dare to force them to try it and sacrifice everything they have, where is your brain?
And Ye Jun, in the past ten years he has lost his family and his ancestral heritage. Would he be willing to sacrifice himself? Even if he is willing, Ye Chengying is his cousin, so it is not his turn.
The captain of the guard shuddered at Wu Hongxin's disdainful look. He remembered that Wu Fan had died in agony, and Wu Shangen had weak limbs, was unable to take care of himself, and was even deprived of the right to speak.
They knew that it was either Ye Jun or Cheng Qiao who did it, but where was the evidence? If Cheng Qiao or Ye Jun used the same method on them... there was no way.
"Hey, arrange for someone to buy medicinal food. Buy all kinds of medicinal food every day. Buy lots of them."
"Chief..."
The chief guard wanted to let a doctor check before eating, but was scared off by Wu Hongxin's vicious tiger eyes. Then he thought that these medicinal foods were for the general public, so there couldn't be any problems. He really thought too much.
Finally the opening day arrived. Ye Ling held Li Xiaonuan's hand and stood at the door of the herbal medicine hall to welcome the guests. Li Huan and a few other guys set off firecrackers non-stop.
Mother Li wiped her red eyes with joy. Xiao Nuan in their family now had her own shop. Her daughter-in-law was truly a noble person sent from heaven to the Li family.
Xuhui also took a leave and happily helped Cheng Qiao run around. Cheng Liguo pulled him aside and looked at Xuhui with gentle eyes:
"Your mother has made plans for her four biological children, but she has not made plans for you. Do you hate your mother in your heart?"
Xuhui smiled: "Grandpa, my mother has already made plans for me. Not only did she raise me and let me go to school, she also let me take the entrance exam for the National University of Defense Technology this year, and she also let Grandpa Ye Chengying take care of me.
As for the rest, the old house has been renovated, my grandmother is being taken care of by Grandma Li, and my mother also gave me 50,000 yuan, whether I buy a house or do other things. "
Cheng Liguo nodded. He was worried that Xuhui would be jealous. You know, little Cheng Li's life was saved by Xuhui. If they didn't make proper arrangements for Xuhui, they would be criticized.
Now Cheng Qiao is doing a great job. Not only does she take care of the elderly and help renovate their ancestral home, she also gives Xuhui a future and enough money to settle down and start a career. This is no different from being his own son.
"Cheng Qiao, Cheng Qiao, these are Xiao Gui and Xiao An, my brother's children. Come, call them aunt."
Ye Ling came over with two children. Xiao An was the son of Ye Ling’s eldest brother Ye Dalin, and Xiao Gui was the daughter of Ye Ling’s second brother Ye Xiaolin.
"Hello, Auntie."
The two children shouted in unison, and Cheng Qiao quickly took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into their pockets. The two children thanked him happily.
"Cheng Qiao, my eldest brother and second brother are in the army, they can't ask for leave, but my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are here, my eldest sister-in-law Huidi, my second sister-in-law Hefei."
Huidi and Hefei hurriedly stepped forward to greet Cheng Qiao, especially Hefei. She already knew her grandfather's plan and had just seen little Cheng Li. She was very satisfied with this marriage.
"These are the gifts I brought for the children. They are a little shabby, please don't despise them."
He Fei took out a small box and handed it directly to Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao quickly took it and put it in her bag. The sister-in-law also took out a red envelope, which was a gift of congratulations.
Several women walked into the store chatting and laughing. He Fei looked at this bright, clean and slightly quaint store and nodded frequently. This design was so good.
"There are names and descriptions of medicinal foods on the wall. Take a look and tell the waiter which one you like."
Huidi and Hefei looked at each other and stretched out their thumbs and little fingers, which meant they wanted to try all six kinds of porridge. The waiter was very smart and a pen flew around and then was stuffed into a window.
Not long after, two waiters came over each with a tray. There were three bowls of porridge in each tray. Porridge of various colors and flavors were placed together, which looked very beautiful.
