After a day and a night, the two of them had a basic understanding and continued to open the restaurant the next morning.
On the seventh day of May, the surrounding residents saw that Heavenly Treasure Restaurant was open and came to eat breakfast.
"Little Tian, why didn't you open the restaurant yesterday? The two new desserts you released the day before yesterday were not bad. I wanted to buy them yesterday! "
"That's just for the Five Poisons Festival. Why do you eat it every day?" Qing Hong laid out the breakfast for today. "Today's breakfast is osmanthus cake, sugar cake, vegetable wedges, steamed buns, soy milk, green stem porridge, and bean pudding. There's also Eight Treasures Porridge, Eight Treasures Rice, century egg and lean meat porridge, lotus seed soup, five kernel crisps, peanut candy, and white fungus soup. Of course, it's not impossible to make them on the spot. "
Hearing the various dishes, everyone was impressed. "Only the two of you can prepare so many dishes every day. You siblings are really good at cooking."
In Heavenly Treasure Restaurant, the two of them were called Jia Xuntian and Jia Xunbao.
"Of course not. The day before yesterday, we were busy wrapping the Jiao millet. We were so busy that we rested for a whole day yesterday! " Among the breakfast, he was the one who cooked the porridge, but the desserts were all thanks to Li Jingxun.
"But you earned a lot the day before yesterday, right? It's worth half a month's business. " An auntie came over to buy buns and said with a smile, "I think you should find two waiters to help take care of this place. After all, the two of you might not be able to handle such a prosperous business. "
Qing Hong smiled and did not reply. The two of them had descended to the mortal world to travel. If they found random people, wouldn't it disturb their cultivation?
"Sister Zhang, you don't understand. How can outsiders be closer to our own family? " Another woman walked over and sized up Qing Hong. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. "Little Tian, you're not young anymore. Why don't you consider getting married? And Bao, you can't keep her, right? "
"It's still early." Qing Hong covered it up vaguely. At this moment, he saw the people of the Liu residence coming out to buy things. The servants carried bags of all sizes. Other than chrysanthemums and pine trees, there were also white linen clothes.
"Eh? Something happened to the Liu residence? Why did you start preparing for the funeral? "
After all, the two women knew a lot about family affairs. One of them said, "Hey, you still don't know. Yesterday, the Old Master of the Liu Residence almost went there. Perhaps it didn't look good today, so he started to prepare for his funeral. "
Right at this moment, a steward of the Liu Residence came to the Heavenly Treasure Restaurant. "Manager Jia, we might need to order some vegetarian cakes from you in a few days. Please prepare them early."
Qing Hong pretended to be surprised. "A few days ago, I saw the Old Master coming out to eat. Why are you suddenly not feeling well these days? "
"Who knows? The day before yesterday, the old man was quite happy to eat your Jiaoshu. He said, 'I'm old, I can still eat something new.' But when he was admiring the flowers yesterday, he suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. We invited a doctor to take a look, but all of them said that medicine is useless. "The steward forced a smile and said," Right now we are only using ginseng to prolong our lives. It looks like we only have two days left. "
"People say, 'Autumn tiger, past September; endure three hours, live a year.' This old man, as long as he survives through autumn and winter, he will basically have a good time in the coming spring and summer. I don't think the Old Master of the Liu Residence is going to die prematurely. It's just that his essence is deficient, and he just needs to take some supplements. "
"Supplements?" The steward shook his head and said, "My master prepared top-grade ginseng for the Old Master. But if this doesn't work, what else can we do? "
At this moment, Li Jingxun came from the backyard with a basket of steamed buns. Hearing Steward Liu's words, she said to Qing Hong, "Brother, haven't we seen this problem of deficient essence when we were in other places? Didn't you cure it with the Black Tortoise Banquet? Now, why don't you go take a look again? Maybe you can save his life. "
"Eh?" Hearing this, the people at the side hurriedly asked in detail.
Qing Hong waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. It's because that person is lucky that I can use medicinal cuisine to help his body. "
"If that's the case, why don't we go take a look?" Sister Zhang encouraged from the side. The others also urged Qing Hong to go see the doctor.
The Liu residence's steward thought to himself, 'Since it's a dead horse, it's a living horse. What if there's a chance of survival?'
Thus, he brought Qing Hong to the Liu residence to visit.
It just so happened that the famous Doctor Xiahou was here to treat the patient. Hearing Qing Hong's arrival, he said unhappily, "Your Liu residence is really something. You don't even believe me, a doctor, and actually went to find a cook to treat the patient?"
Qing Hong laughed and said, "Mister Xiahou, as the saying goes, 'illness enters through the mouth, medicine enters through the mouth'. Medicinal cuisine is the most important thing in medicine. From what I can see, the Old Master is fine. He's just temporarily weak. You used ginseng to nourish him, but instead made him weak. How can he survive? Forcing him to drink ginseng soup for a few days, even normal people like us can't withstand the effects of the medicine, let alone this seriously ill person. From what I can see, even if the Old Master can be saved, after three days of ginseng, there won't be any other way. "
Hearing Qing Hong's words, Steward Liu couldn't help but ask, "Then does Mister have a way?" At this moment, he was also in a desperate situation. His father suddenly passed away and hadn't explained anything yet. The pillar of the Liu residence cannot fall.
Qing Hong came closer to take a look and had a plan in his heart, "From what I can see, the Old Master is just lacking in vitality. I've seen a similar illness in another city, it can be treated. "
Hearing Qing Hong say that he could be saved, he immediately said, "Mister, if you have a way, just say it. Money isn't a problem!"
The Liu residence was considered one of the wealthiest families in this small city. Moreover, the Old Master was kind and charitable, widely known for his kindness.
"Money doesn't matter. After all, he's an old customer of our restaurant. I can just earn some manual labor fees. But the key is that the things needed to save him are not easy to obtain. Doctor Xiahou uses ginseng to preserve his life, and my method is to use nourishing ingredients to recuperate. However, my Black Tortoise Feast uses medicinal cuisine to nourish the body. It can be done step by step, allowing the Old Master's vitality to recover. "
"What medicinal ingredients do you need, just say it! Even if our family goes bankrupt, we will save Grandfather! "At this time, the Liu family's eldest young master ran out and asked Qing Hong.
"Black Tortoise and Snake Cultivators have the characteristics of a Black Tortoise. Therefore, I need a five hundred year old tortoise and a Serpent King for my meal. "
"This …" Squire Liu thought for a moment, "It is indeed troublesome for Mister to want this kind of wild game. However, I can send someone to look for it, but it might be a bit late. "
"Before the day after tomorrow, I think the Old Master can still hang on to his life. As long as it is delivered to the restaurant early the day after tomorrow, it will be fine. "
Not long after, Qing Hong left the Liu residence and continued to manage the restaurant's affairs.
Li Jingxun didn't question him at all because this matter was within their expectations. Therefore, the two patiently waited for the Liu residence to deliver the items two days later.
During the Five Poisons Festival, Qing Hong and Li Jingxun only killed the Serpent Demon but didn't take its gallbladder. They were afraid that Yuanshan Gong would find out.
If they pretended to die from tribulation, wouldn't they be exposed if they took the gallbladder?
Therefore, according to the two's plan, they were prepared to let mortals bring the Serpent's corpse to them. The Liu residence's matter was exactly what they wanted.
…
Two days later, Qing Hong looked at the scorched snake corpse in the backyard and asked Young Master Liu, "This is?"
"We asked for it from the merchant yesterday. Coincidentally, a large snake was killed by lightning in the West Wilderness three hundred miles away. The hunter sent it to a nearby town to be sold. When we released the news, the branch in the city heard about it and sent the snake corpse over. "
"That's quite well-informed."
"As long as you are willing to spend money, everything is not a problem."
"What about the Spirit Tortoise?"
"Mister, please take a look." The young master ordered someone to carry a large urn. In the urn, Qing Hong was raising a large tortoise. The tortoise had a white back and silver edges, lying lazily in the water and spitting bubbles.
Seeing this tortoise, Qing Hong's mouth twitched and he fell silent.
"What's wrong, Mister? Is there something wrong with this tortoise? "
"No, it's too good." Qing Hong came to the side of the urn and looked at the white jade tortoise, as if thinking about something. Seeing this, Li Jingxun put down what he was doing and also came to look at the white jade tortoise. The two stared at the tortoise, and the large tortoise looked back at them. Instantly, the tortoise shed two lines of tears.
Young Master Liu saw this and said in surprise, "Huh, this tortoise seems to understand human nature."
Li Jingxun smiled and said to Qing Hong, "Brother, the heavens are merciful. If it's possible, please show some mercy. "
This white jade tortoise had eight hundred years of cultivation. This morning, it was sunbathing at the shallow beach, but it was caught by a group of fishermen and sent to the Liu residence. Originally, it wanted to use its demonic arts to tease the Liu family and give them retribution, so it did not resist. But when it saw Qing Hong and Li Jingxun, it immediately felt that something was wrong. These two "mortals" that it could not see clearly were two Xuanmen deities.
"My life is over!" The white jade tortoise thought of its carelessness that caused its own death, and it was filled with regret. I still have a tortoise and a bunch of tortoise sons at home, but I did not expect to die here today. If I knew this, I would have used demonic arts to escape!
Unexpectedly, the man outside the urn cupped his hands and said, "You are a hundred years old black tortoise, so you must understand human nature. As the saying goes, 'the heavens are merciful', I do not want to harm someone to save someone. Today, I will take the tortoise's spiritual blood to save someone, and in the future, I will let the Liu residence offer sacrifices to your longevity tablet. If you are willing, please nod your head. "
Hearing this, the white jade tortoise immediately nodded in agreement. Being able to live was more important than anything else!
Young Master Liu was surprised to see the white jade tortoise so understanding of human nature. "What a smart tortoise. But, Sir, can you save grandfather without killing it? Can the medicinal cuisine be completed? "
Qing Hong smiled and said, "Young Master. My original intention was to use the Xuanwu Feast to save people. But this tortoise is very intelligent and has understood human nature, so I cannot easily harm its life. Please prepare a hundred pounds of eggs and half a pound of tiger bones, I want to use them to replace the tortoise in the medicinal cuisine. "
"Okay, everything is negotiable!" Young Master Liu immediately gave the order, and soon, the food was sent to the restaurant.
Qing Hong dismissed the others and began to make the medicinal cuisine in the courtyard. However, this medicinal cuisine was very different from the nourishing medicinal cuisine in the mortal world. It was a medicine he researched to target immortals. Every medicinal cuisine contained a special effect for immortals.
The so-called Xuanwu Feast was also known as the longevity feast. Originally, Qing Hong planned to use a tortoise and a flood serpent's corpse as medicine. He made nine kinds of longevity and nourishing medicinal cuisines to help extend Old Master Liu's life. However, he could not kill the tortoise now, so he had to choose the corresponding tonic from the other medicinal cuisines.
"Junior Martial Sister, help me take the tortoise's blood and deal with this snake demon."
Qing Hong took out a piece of unpolished jade and carved it into a wine cup.
After dealing with the snake's corpse, Li Jingxun took out the snake gallbladder. Now that he had borrowed the hands of mortals to deliver the flood serpent's corpse to him, wouldn't he be able to take the snake gallbladder?
"Senior Martial Brother's foresight is like a god, everything is going according to your plan."
"Sigh … This is nothing. What comes next is the key. "Qing Hong looked at the sky above the Liu Residence. The sky above the Liu Residence was filled with a black aura. Obviously, this was indeed a great crisis for Old Master Liu.
Defying the heavens and changing fate and increasing his lifespan was something Qing Hong could not do, nor did he dare to argue with the Netherworld. However, Old Master Liu had done good deeds and left a chance for survival outside of the death tribulation. In other words, his lifespan was not up yet, and it was just a life and death tribulation.
Not only was Qing Hong not at fault for helping him through the tribulation, he had also done a good deed.
After working for half a day, the two of them prepared three medicinal cuisines and sent them to the Liu Residence at noon.
