Chapter 421 Banquet at the Restaurant
“I told them that you and your brother were given an erectile dysfunction drug before you left home to prevent you from doing anything reckless. Your wife will give you the antidote when you get home,” Lu Qingqing said with a smile.
Lu Yun smiled, though her eyes were twitching.
"Having a sister who's a miracle doctor must be a wonderful thing, they all believe it, right?"
"Of course, no one questions it."
"Hehehe."
The two looked like brothers and sisters, incredibly close and affectionate.
Lu Qingqing asked again, "Why did you set up this table? To let people know you're rich?"
"I didn't do it. I met the owner of this place a few days ago, and we hit it off immediately. I told him I was going to host a banquet, but I didn't expect him to put up so much. I guess he doesn't want to charge me this time."
So that's how it is.
When Lu Yun arrived in Fancheng, he secretly investigated all the merchants there, and reported any illegal operations to the county magistrate.
Of course, I also met quite a few people.
They're getting more and more impressive.
As the two were talking, they heard a rumbling sound like muffled thunder.
"Hey? No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me." Several craftsmen waved their hands.
"Is that the Taoist priest?" someone said.
The Taoist priest who was called out blushed, “He didn’t eat human food for three days, and suddenly he attained enlightenment in the way of immortals.”
"In my pursuit of enlightenment, I often skip meals, and my stomach is protesting. Please excuse my poor appetite."
"..."
"Aren't you going to eat now?" Xue Lin asked curiously.
"I have been hungry for three days, it is time for me to eat."
So, please start eating, hurry up and start eating!
Lu Yun coughed lightly, suppressing a laugh: "Then let's stop talking for now and start eating. Little sister, you go first."
After Lu Qingqing picked up her chopsticks, everyone became quite informal.
Amidst a chorus of chewing sounds, Lu Yun introduced the two women he had brought with him.
It turns out he was a newly promoted manager at the pharmaceutical workshop.
"Are all the pharmaceutical companies staffed by hired women?" Xue Lin asked, his mouth full of a large piece of meat.
“Not entirely,” Lu Yun said.
"Women are more meticulous and it's not easy for them to find work. If given a chance, they will do their best."
In this world, it's easier for men to survive than for women. Therefore, when the Lu family's pharmaceutical workshop hires, they prioritize women of good character.
Lu Yun smiled and emphasized the words "good character".
Everyone was impressed and praised the Lu family highly.
Huang Yuzhen glanced at Lu Yun, her gaze lingering on the two women for a long time.
Lu Yun added, "Not only our workshop, but my sister-in-law's seasoning workshop also prioritizes hiring women."
Everyone was surprised.
Lu Feng's wife also runs a workshop?
Lu Feng nodded, "That's true. My wife is kind-hearted. Among the people she hires are widows, divorced women, and women who have been tormented by their husbands' families and want to die. She once said that hiring someone who is desperate is like saving a life."
The sounds of chewing that filled the room seemed to have all disappeared.
After a while, it gradually started to ring again.
After fasting for three days, the Taoist priest finally recovered from his hunger and swallowed a bite of glutinous rice cake, saying, "Doing good deeds can accumulate merit and also protect oneself. Your wife will surely enjoy both happiness and longevity. Your Lu family is a family of great benevolence."
"The Taoist priest is right," Lu Yun said with a smile.
“My wife runs an embroidery shop, and it’s the same. Our whole family is actually influenced by my younger sister. My younger sister is the wise and kind person.”
Lu Qingqing just smiled and didn't say anything, but kicked Lu Yun under the table.
Before everyone could express their admiration, Lu Yun continued, "My younger sister also said that the best feng shui for a family is harmony between husband and wife."
The best family tradition is the passing down of love and loyalty.
"Just like my father and mother, they were loyal to each other until death."
"Therefore, what we, the Lu family, inherit is to never let down or betray each other, to be of one heart, and to share both prosperity and adversity."
The chewing sound disappeared once again.
The people in the room had different expressions.
Some expressed admiration, some shame, some seemed thoughtful, and some nodded emphatically.
Huang Yuzhen drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.
Pour it on again.
Lu Qingqing nodded slightly to Lu Yun.
That's fine.
Lu Yun stood up with a smile on his face, raising his wine glass: "You are all people who have come from afar to protect our country. I admire you all the most. Come, let me first toast to all the heroes."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
Everyone stood up.
After several rounds of toasts, everyone relaxed and began to talk amongst themselves.
Lu Qingqing was talking to the two managers about the book shop, while Lu Yun and Lu Feng were chatting about family matters.
Speaking of Lu Feng's two daughters, Anxi and Anran.
It is said that Lin Ye's embroidery workshop is thriving and its reputation is growing.
It is said that Feng Xiaowan has hired more people, and the seasonings have already started to be sold in the south.
They said that when he left, the two of them gave him countless instructions and saw him off for a long distance, hoping for his safe return.
During this time, the restaurant owner came over.
He saw the soldiers waiting outside and only then realized that among the people Lu Yun had invited was the legendary hospital director of Datong Medical College!
Everyone knows that this dean has a powerful background, and many people want to get in touch with him, but no one can.
Because this dean never accepts invitations from others.
But she truly heals and saves lives, whether they are poor or rich.
Just now, he heard people on the street saying that Dean Lu and his students had brought a woman back to life after she had hanged herself.
To my utter surprise, the next moment, Dean Lu actually graced his restaurant with his presence!
The restaurant owner was flattered and didn't know what to do, so he had his waiters carry plates of dishes to the room.
As it turned out, it turned out that Dean Lu was the younger sister of the Lu brothers he had just met!
Good heavens, he's really hit the jackpot!
"Dean Lu, do you think these dishes suit your taste? If there's anything you'd like to say, please let me know, and I'll have someone fix them right away."
The restaurant owner, who was in his early twenties, stood before Lu Qingqing like a well-behaved student, asking her questions with timid and hesitant manners.
"Brother Ji, don't be nervous. My sister is gentle and kind." Lu Yun grinned.
The craftsmen: "..."
Really, really, the Lu brothers were definitely not drunk.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "The dishes are quite good, but there's one thing that's really inconvenient. You can only reach the dishes in front of you, and you can't reach the ones further away!"
You need to change to a rotary table.
The restaurant owner looked serious and immediately asked, "Dean Lu, what is a rotating table?"
"The turntable is..."
As soon as Lu Qingqing described it, Lu Feng immediately drew it.
He's a carpenter and a mechanic, he's an expert at this!
The restaurant owner was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, this is wonderful! Thank you, Dean Lu, thank you, Brother Lu!"
I'll get someone to do it right away and replace all the large tables in the store with rotating tables!
