Only then did Gao Shixin understand why Han Hongqi and others knew Li Yu, and they came to support him. Thinking of Li Yu's superb calligraphy, Gao Shixin patted Li Yu's shoulder with emotion and said:

"So that's the case, Xiao Li, you really surprised Lao Cai and me."

"Dear leaders, two teachers, let's go in and chat." Xu Yingying walked up and said to everyone. She had heard Li Yu say that she wanted to invite several old men who learned boxing to be guests, but she didn't expect that these old men were so big. As a student, she had no impression of the old leaders of Yuhai City. Until she saw Gao Shixin and Cai Meilin just now, she looked respectful in front of the old men, and then she knew the other party's identity.

Cai Meilin also echoed: "Yes, yes, let's go in and chat. Secretary Han and Mayor Huang, please ask first."

Han Hongqi patted Cai Meilin's arm and said with a smile: "Boss Cai, don't call us like that. We are just ordinary retired old men now. Just call me Lao Han."

"That's not possible. The secretary is the secretary. Even if he retreats to the second line, you will still be the old leader in the minds of our Yuhai people." Cai Meilin said exaggeratedly. He is a shrewd businessman. He knows that although these old men have retired, there are still a large group of old friends who are working, and their power cannot be underestimated. He will not be arrogant in front of these people.

Han Hongqi wanted to be polite, and Huang Jiping said with a haha: "Okay, okay, don't pretend anymore. Don't forget, what are we doing today? It's so big that it's better to have a meal. Hurry up and let Li Yu bring them all the signature dishes such as ginseng, Poria, Hundred Grass Chicken, etc., and let us make good use of foreign meat."

"Yes, yes, it's a big deal to eat, go around..."

"Professor Gao, please, Boss Cai..."

"Secretary Han, go ahead..."

Several people gave in to each other and finally walked into the restaurant. Xu Yingying originally prepared a private room for the two groups of people. Now, seeing that they knew each other and had a very close relationship, he quickly adjusted the plan and invited them to the highest-end private room in the middle.

After entering the house, the group of people slapped the seats for the issue of seating, and finally took their seats according to the size of their official positions. As a great professor, Gao Shixin got a top position next to Han Hongqi. Cai Meilin is a businessman, and has no status in both ancient and modern times, so he can only sit in the lower direction. As for Xu Yingying and Li Yu, they are very gentle and have the youngest age, so of course they are accompanying them at the last position.

Everyone sat down, and the waiter first delivered tea. This tea was not Tieguanyin, barley tea or chrysanthemum tea in ordinary restaurants, but a five-flavor drink found by Li Yu from the pharmacist's sutra. It is made of raw rehmannia, Scrophularia, and Cassia. It has a refreshing taste and a bit clear-eyed and clear-hearted effect.

"Yes, just this tea can be used to have some tricks." Shao Haijin commented.

"Why, Lao Shao, do you have research on traditional Chinese medicine?" Han Hongqi asked.

Shao Haijin said: "I can't say that there is any research, that is, I'm a little interested after retirement. By the way, Xiao Li, last time you said that the recipes of this medicinal food shop were mainly passed on to you by your master. Can you tell everyone what the requirements are for tea?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Old Shao passed the exam. Regarding Chinese medicine, I and my master only learned some fur. This five-flavor drink was passed down by the master. It only said that it can nourish the liver and improve eyesight. As for the details, I really can't say it."

"It's not okay if you can't say it." Shao Haijin said, "You open a medicinal food shop and you are using the Chinese medicine sign. If the customer asks, what formula is and what effects it has, you must be able to say something, right? Otherwise, how can you reassure the customer?"

"Secretary Shao's reminder was too right." Xu Yingying said, "The next step is to hire a few old Chinese doctors to take charge. We can answer the questions from guests, and recommend which medicinal food they choose based on the guests' physical condition. Our medicinal food is mainly provided by Li Yu. We know the effects of these medicinal foods, but it is a bit difficult to say which medicinal foods play what role."

Retired Deputy Mayor Zhuang Renquan said: "In fact, it's enough to explain the efficacy. You must not disclose the specific medicinal recipe. This is like the Coca-Cola in the United States. I heard that their formula is more confidential than the level of national defense confidentiality."

"Economic secrets are also part of national interests and need to be kept confidential," said Han Hongqi.

As we were chatting, the delivery window of the private room opened and the delivery staff handed in a big bowl. Before the waiter in the private room came forward, Xu Yingying stood up first, put away the soup bowl in front of everyone, and personally served everyone the soup.

"Well, it smells so good!"

As soon as the lid of the soup bowl was opened, a fragrant and mellow fragrance spread, which made everyone feel refreshed. Huang Jiping was the most disrespectful among them. He simply stood up, stretched his neck to look at the soup bowl, and muttered: "It smells so fragrant, Xiao Li, is this the ginseng and pears that you have bragged to us for a long time?"

"That's right." Li Yu nodded and responded, "This kind of chicken is prepared with dozens of medicinal herbs such as ginseng, poria, yam, licorice, etc. It has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach, nourishing qi and increasing yang, and is most suitable for consumption by the elderly."

"I am an elderly person, so I have to eat this chicken first." Huang Jiping asked shamelessly. He didn't think about it. Who else in this room is not an old man except Li Yu, Xu Yingying and another waiter?

At this time, Xu Yingying had already served the first bowl of soup. According to the seating order, of course, he handed it to Han Hongqi first. Hearing Huang Jiping's words, Han Hongqi smiled and directly passed the soup to Huang Jiping, saying, "Okay, I am a respectful person to the elderly. Please ask Mr. Huang to taste this bowl of soup first."

"Haha, thank you, thank you." Huang Jiping was not polite and accepted it directly. He sat down, first smelled the steam coming out of the bowl with his nose, praised it, then scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and blew it gently, and before he could cool down, he couldn't wait to put it into his mouth.

"Ah, delicious! Tasteful!"

As soon as the soup was in his mouth, Huang Jiping called out happily. The chicken soup had a Chinese medicine smell, but it did not make people feel bitter, but just offset the greasy feeling, leaving only the purest and delicious taste. With a mouthful of chicken soup, Huang Jiping felt that all the taste buds on his tongue seemed to be mobilized, and an indescribable pleasure spread from the tip of his tongue to his whole body.

"good!"

After swallowing the first sip of chicken soup, Huang Jiping made a brief comment, then scooped another spoonful and put it into his mouth. This time, he was a little anxious. Before the soup was cooled, he burned it so hot that he sucked it in a slight way. He was reluctant to spit out the soup he had inhaled, so he half-carried it into his stomach while inhaling, making some rather indecent sounds in his mouth.

"I said Lao Huang, you are more gentle, right?" Han Hongqi couldn't stand it anymore. Lao Huang was also a mayor. He had never eaten any delicious food. As for how ugly it looks on this occasion?

"You will know if you try it yourself. This is definitely the most delicious chicken soup I have ever tasted!" Huang Jiping shouted loudly.

At this time, Xu Yingying had already helped several old men to put the soup. Everyone looked at Huang Jiping's appearance, and when they smelled the fragrance from the soup bowl in front of them, they couldn't help but move their index fingers. Everyone raised their spoons, and after drinking the first sip of the soup, they were indeed as unruly as Huang Jiping. They couldn't wait to cool the soup and rushed to their mouths. The whole table was filled with snoring sounds.

Looking at the appearance of everyone, Li Yu and Xu Yingying exchanged glances and smiled. On the one hand, they laughed at the old men for being so unrestrained, which was in line with their previous hypocritical behavior. On the other hand, they were filled with joy. This medicinal food can touch the stomachs of these people. It seems that this medicinal food restaurant has been really done.

Other dishes have been passed down one after another, including Angelica salmon, almond pork lungs, Gastrodia elata tofu, bamboo sediment heart, etc. Each dish comes from the pharmacist's scriptures, and they are all quality medicinal dishes that have been repeatedly pondered by generations of pharmacists. The old men originally came with the mentality of promoting Li Yu, and they did not have much expectations for what good things to eat. Unexpectedly, the taste of these medicinal foods is far beyond their imagination. The people were so excited that they had long forgotten what Sven was. Every dish served on the table can trigger a round of competition among the old men.

After the dishes were five flavors, everyone's speed of moving their chopsticks finally slowed down. It was not that these dishes were not delicious, but that their stomachs had already felt swelling. If their family were by the side, they would definitely be surprised, because the foods that this group of old men ate were more than twice the usual appetite.

"Okay, unique, delicious, and with such skills, I think you, Baicao Medicinal Foodstuff, can be a well-known restaurant in Chengdu and Yuhai." Huang Jiping put down his chopsticks, smacked his lips, and praised him repeatedly.

"Old Huang is right. I guess the price of such a delicious medicinal meal cannot be lower, right? Xiao Li, how much does it cost to eat at the table of dishes we eat according to your price?" Shao Haijin asked.

Li Yu smiled slightly and said, "We are a little confused about pricing, and I don't know what suggestions do you have for you."
