The place to eat was still the small restaurant in the village.
"Where did they go?"
Wang Yao asked. "They went to deal with the matter that Mr. Wang told them to do," Zhong Liuchuan explained very vaguely.
Wang Yao nodded after hearing that.
The dishes were served quickly because there were not many people eating there. Including them, there were only three tables. Since Wang Yao was an acquaintance, the owner of the restaurant personally came to say hello. He did not look too good.
"What's wrong, Mr. Li?" Wang Yao asked.
He lit a cigarette and sighed. "Don't mention it," Mr. Li said. "The business has been very bad this month. Fortunately, it is my own yard. Otherwise, I would have lost money."
"Is that so? But as far as I know, this should be a good time to take a bath in the hot spring."
It was not far from the hot spring in Lijiagou. Although the hot spring resort had food and accommodation services, the restaurant's food was solid and fresh. It had always had a good reputation. During the boom of tourism, Wang Yao remembered that there was even a queue to eat there.
"Is there another problem?"
Wang Yao asked. "Well, another person died this month," Mr. Li said. "He died in the hot spring resort."
"Another one died?" Wang Yao was very surprised to hear that.
As far as he knew, four people had died in less than a year in the village where the hot spring was located. Although it was normal for people to die in a normal village, most of them were old people. The people who died in that village were children and young men, which was not normal.
"Do you know how they died?"
"It seems that they drowned."
"Drowned? How can one drown in a hot spring?" Pan Jun was very surprised after listening to the story. "Isn't that too bad?"
"Oh, there are all kinds of rumors," Mr. Li said. "One thing is certain. They did die in the hot spring pool. Think about it. It is unlucky to have people die in the hot spring pool. If people knew about it, who would dare to go there?"
"Yes."
Most people would go on a vacation and take a bath in the hot spring for the sake of relaxation. They wouldn't want to be in a state of panic and encounter a life-threatening situation while taking a bath in the hot spring. In fact, it was the same reason that if someone died in a house, the house would not be easy to sell. It was unlucky.
The Chinese believed in this.
"Tsk, if it doesn't work, I'll consider changing my profession," Boss Li said.
"Don't. Where am I going to eat in the future?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
He also knew that Boss Li was probably just speaking in a fit of anger. The restaurant would probably continue to operate.
"I say, Boss Li, let me give you a suggestion!" Pan Jun took a sip of tea.
"As the saying goes, it's been a long time since you've been afraid of the dark alleys. Now, there are so many rich people in this city. Apart from those famous big hotels, they also like to come to this kind of special restaurant. Look, your courtyard needs to be decorated. Get some flowers and plants. The key is to make some special signature dishes. I've eaten here with my master several times and found that the fish and chicken here are pretty good. The key is that the ingredients are fresh enough. I think you can study these two dishes carefully and make them your signature dishes." Pan Jun gave his own reasonable suggestions.
"Wait a minute. Let me take the notes!" Boss Li hurriedly said.
"There's no need for that, right?"
"No, no, I have to write it down. When I'm old, my brain is not very good." The boss hurriedly went out to get the notebook and paper.
"Sorry to disturb your meal. Today's table is on me."
"How can that be?"
"OK, that's settled!" Boss Li said. He carefully recorded Pan Jun's suggestions. The main reason was that Pan Jun's job required him to go out to socialize. He had eaten in many restaurants, so he had some experience. In fact, Boss Li also knew these things. It was just that the onlookers saw more clearly than the players involved.
"What do you think of my suggestions?"
"Very good," Boss Li said. "Every time you come here to eat in the future, I'll give you a 30% discount."
"And my master and my, uh, junior?"
Zhong Liuchuan just nodded and didn't say anything. Although the two of them had learned different things from Wang Yao, they had entered the school one after the other. Pan Jun could call him junior.
"No problem, all 30% off." Boss Li waved his hand. "OK, I won't disturb your meal. I'll go first."
"OK, go ahead."
After a while, all the dishes were served. In addition to the few dishes they had ordered, the boss also gave them two other dishes.
"Well, the taste of the dishes is very good," Zhong Liuchuan said. "Master, are his dishes all natural?"
"Most of what he gives us to eat is natural," Wang Yao said.
"It's hard to say for others."
"Huh?"
"If there are few people eating, it'll be fine," Wang Yao said. "If there are many people eating, think about how he can get so many natural and pollution-free things. It's already very good to guarantee that most of them are natural. As far as I know, he is planning to build two vegetable greenhouses on the mountain behind to serve this restaurant."
"Isn't this a long-term plan?"
Wang Yao asked. "Yes, in fact, in the nearby villages, this restaurant is the only one that looks like it," Wang Yao said. "It's clean and hygienic, and the taste is good. If someone in this village wants to treat someone, the first thing they think of is this restaurant."
"Then, he still wants to change careers?"
Wang Yao asked. "It's just a moment of anger."
"Come on, drink and eat."
After the meal, the three of them returned to the mountain village.
"Are you free tomorrow?" Wang Yao said.
"Tomorrow, what are you going to do, Master?"
"I'll treat you to a hot spring."
"Huh?" Pan Jun and Zhong Liuchuan were stunned.
"No way, Master," Zhong Liuchuan said. "Mr. Li just said that someone had just died in the hot spring resort. Why are we going there?"
"Let's go and have a look," Wang Yao said.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself."
"Sir, I'm free tomorrow," Zhong Liuchuan said.
"I'll change shifts tomorrow," Pan Jun said. "Master, can't we go in the afternoon?"
"Someone came to see a doctor in the afternoon," Wang Yao said.
"Ah."
Not long after they returned to the clinic, a patient came to see them. It was an old man with leg pain.
"I'll leave him to you," Wang Yao said to Pan Jun.
"No problem."
Tuina massage was the only skill that Pan Jun had mastered that he was relatively proficient in.
The final result was good. The old man's expression was very enjoyable. When he came, his leg was a little limp, but when he left, it was not visible at all.
"I haven't been here for some time, so I'm a little rusty," Pan Jun said.
The second patient was a woman in her 40s. She felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She felt there was something inside.
"Have you eaten anything recently?" Wang Yao asked after checking her pulse.
"Well, I've eaten a lot."
"Tell me, what have you eaten?"
"Well, steamed buns, rice, apples, bananas …" The woman began to describe what she had eaten in the past few days after thinking about it.
"The last three days should be enough," Wang Yao added.
"Oh, OK."
"Also, hawthorn and persimmon."
"Wait, hawthorn and persimmon? What persimmon?"
"The kind that grows on trees, not tomatoes," the woman said.
"I see," Wang Yao said. "There are food residues in your stomach, which is usually called gastric stones."
"Then, what should I do?"
"That's easy," Wang Yao said. "Go back and drink some Coke. Drink more, and you'll be fine."
"Ah, so simple?" The woman was stunned.
"Well, you have to be careful when you eat," Wang Yao said. "Some things can't be mixed. Hawthorn and persimmon can't be eaten together."
"Ah, ah, I'm anxious."
The woman came with a nervous mood. When she left, she was in a relatively relaxed mood.
The third patient was a young girl. She was quite beautiful. She had a lump on her leg, which was at the ankle. It felt a little hard to the touch.
"How long has it been?"
Wang Yao asked. "Well, it has been two months," the girl's father said. "At first, it was just a little bit. We didn't pay much attention to it. Later, it slowly grew up and became a little anxious. We went to the county hospital and took two kinds of medicine to apply to the lump. It has been two weeks, but the effect is not very good."
