"Bring up all the newest dishes that are currently popular in your restaurant so we can have them try!" Jin Jinzhi ordered.
"Alright, it'll be ready soon. Please have a seat for a moment!"
The waiter ran off in a flash and then ran back in a flash, bringing over a pot of fruit drink.
"Another order of braised pork knuckle, please."
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir, it'll be right there!"
The waiter draped a long towel over his shoulder and went to the kitchen to announce the menu.
In a short while, the waiter respectfully served braised pork knuckle, Taibai fish head, Manjiang chicken, jujube paste rice cake, West Lake water shield soup, and pork and broad bean soup.
"Does the restaurant have daylily buds now?" Yun Duoduo asked.
"Yes, we have stir-fried daylily with pork, daylily and tofu soup, cold daylily salad, braised daylily with pork belly, and stewed daylily with ribs. Which one would you like, sir?" the waiter said with a smile.
"Oh ho, there are quite a lot of these kinds. Then let's have cold daylily salad. Cold salad is the best way to taste the flavor of daylilies."
"Alright!" the waiter replied swiftly.
Yun Duoduo looked at the dishes on the table and scooped up a spoonful of fish soup to drink.
"Hmm, Brother Jinzhi, this fish soup is very delicious, you should have a bowl."
"Mmm, it tastes good."
Jin Jinzhi picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot fish soup. "This soup has a pretty strong flavor."
A moment later, the waiter brought over a plate of cold daylily salad.
"Brother Jinzhi, try this daylily. It has a unique flavor and is good for your health and stomach."
As she spoke, she placed a piece of daylily on Jin Jinzhi's plate.
"Hmm, it's really good. Thanks to my wife, I got to eat fresh daylily."
Jin Jin praised her with satisfaction.
Yun Duoduo was taken aback when she heard this address, then smiled.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they left the Manjianghong Restaurant. "We were so full!"
"Okay, get on the horse, I'll take you back," Jin Jinzhi said affectionately.
"Make sure you wear this whistle tomorrow."
"Never put yourself in danger."
"Yes, don't worry, Brother Sumire."
...
Upon returning from the princess's residence, Jin Jinzhi handed Cao Canjun a food box.
"I brought you braised pork knuckle."
When Cao Canjun opened the food box, he saw a huge, oily braised pork knuckle inside, which looked very tempting.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"How's the investigation into Yi Qingchen's matter going?"
While tearing off pieces of pork knuckle, Cao Canjun mumbled, "Your Highness, the closest place to Yi Qingchen's residence is the Ye residence, where there is a second young lady named Ye Mingzhu."
"The Ye family is a family of doctors. This second young lady, Ye Mingzhu, is proficient in medicine. She once took the imperial pharmacy exam, but the person who scored the same as her was a man, so the imperial pharmacy took that man instead."
"I didn't want her."
"Ye Mingzhu was eliminated."
Jin Jinzhi nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, very good."
This person's family background certainly meets Yi Qingchen's requirements.
"Yes, Duoduo and the others are about to leave for Yuze. Try to get Ye Mingzhu to go with them."
"Remember, make sure Ye Mingzhu stays by Yi Qingchen's side."
Only in this way will that brat Yi Qingchen stop bothering Duoduo.
He needed a woman to distract Yi Qingchen.
"ah?!"
"Your Highness, isn't this putting Yin in a difficult position?"
The braised pork knuckle in Cao Canjun's hand suddenly didn't smell so good anymore.
He frowned, his face full of sorrow, trying to figure out a way to get Ye Mingzhu to go to Yuze with the people from Shangyao Bureau.
What are we going to do about this?!
"Your Highness, can I return this braised pork knuckle? I won't eat it, okay? Let that brat Yan Ying handle it..."
...
The next morning, Yun Duoduo set off from the princess's residence early. When she arrived at the city gate, she saw Yi Qingchen and Sun Huohuo already waiting there with several people.
Among those people, there was one who looked rather unfamiliar.
Who is this?
Yun Duoduo looked at the unfamiliar face, then at Yi Qingchen and Sun Huohuo. He recognized all the people from the Shangyao Bureau who were with Yi Qingchen.
Although she didn't recognize the soldiers following behind Sun Huohuo, their attire suggested they were from the Ministry of War.
Only this woman was dressed like a commoner.
"Greetings, Your Excellency. I am Ye Mingzhu." Ye Mingzhu bowed respectfully to Yun Duoduo.
"Duo'er, I met this girl by chance. She's a female doctor, and I thought she might be able to help."
"Then they called for us to come together!"
As Sun Huohuo spoke, his eyes darted around. This man was someone Cao Canjun had asked him to place in the company, and he was also asked to find an excuse to get rid of him.
He really couldn't come up with any good reasons.
When Ye Mingzhu learned of this news, she readily agreed. She knew it was a good opportunity to improve her medical skills and also to prepare for the entrance exam for the Imperial Pharmacy next year.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's set off." Yun Duoduo nodded, got into the carriage. Yu Ze's matter couldn't be delayed, and since they were all ready, they should leave immediately.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo didn't seem to care, Sun Huohuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
A large group of people marched towards Yuze, passing through the woods, bypassing the official road, and then over a small hill, where they came to see a small river.
When we arrived in Yuze, it was already afternoon.
"Once we cross this river, we'll reach Yuze on the other side," said one of the soldiers leading the way.
"Let's go, let's go straight to the Chief Pharmacy."
Upon arriving in Yuze, Yun Duoduo did not stay at the villa in Yuze. Instead, she led a group of people directly to the main pharmacy. Under the arrangement of the main pharmacy in Yuze, everyone stayed together.
"Chief Pharmacist, this is the Imperial Physician, and I am the Assistant Pharmacist of the Imperial Pharmacy." Yi Qingchen bowed to Yu Ze's Chief Pharmacist.
The chief pharmacist returned the greeting to the group.
"These are the case files from the past few days, which record the patient's condition and medication."
"good."
Yun Duoduo and Yi Qingchen glanced at the records and then prepared to check on the patient's condition.
Following Yun Duoduo's instructions, the staff at Shang Pharmacy put on masks.
She had prepared the mask before she arrived. Since Ye Mingzhu was an unexpected addition to the group, she didn't have a mask and instead wore the veil she had brought with her.
"Let everyone in."
Yun Duoduo gestured to the soldiers at the door that the patients could come in for their treatment.
An elderly man dressed in gray cloth and with a white beard walked in quickly, clutching his stomach.
"Oh dear, please take a look at this old man's stomach. He has a stomachache and diarrhea, and he feels terrible."
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, fidgeting restlessly, as if he wanted to go to the outhouse.
"When did it start?" Yun Duoduo looked at the old man's pale face, which was devoid of color, and his lips were dry and without any moisture.
“It started yesterday morning.”
"Oh no, it started the night before last. When I came out of the outhouse that day, it was just dawn."
The old man's voice was very soft and weak; he had no strength left in his body.
