Chapter 49: The Two Shops

When Ling Xuan saw Cheng Bin and the meaningful teasing smile on his face, he wanted to punch him.

But when he saw the food box in Cheng Bin's hand, Ling Xuan's clenched fist had to loosen. He went straight to grab the food box in Cheng Bin's hand.

Ling Xuan had destroyed the furniture in the room. He had to sit on the floor, carefully open the packaging and take out the food boxes one by one.

The cool and handsome man with a cold face is sitting on the floor with a slight smile on his lips. He does not look like a maniac at all!

The doctor on the other side of the surveillance camera felt very strange. Doesn't he need to eat this supplementary food first? He just smelled and looked at it. How can it have a miraculous soothing effect?

Cheng Bin also leaned in. He took out a folding table and two folding chairs from his space button, assembled them, and placed them very quickly. Then, he took out two sets of tableware...

As soon as Ling Xuan saw the two sets of tableware, his eyes were cold. He said coldly towards Cheng Bin, "You! Get out!"

Cheng Bin: "I won't. Sister Yaoyao said that you couldn't finish eating so much by yourself. She asked me to help you eat a little!"

Hearing the "Sister Yaoyao," Ling Xuan put down the lunch box in his hand and gave Cheng Bin a sharp punch. Fortunately, Cheng Bin hid quickly and said very wittily, "I still have most of the food. If you beat me, then tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I won't give them to you!"

He finished speaking in one breath, without even stopping to take a breath!

Ling Xuan's fist stopped on the side of Cheng Bin's handsome face, and he coldly said, "Hand it over!"

Ling Yaoyao's food is a death-free gold medal. How could Cheng Bin be so stupid to take it out? "No way!"

The two were in a stalemate for a while. Ling Xuan thought that Cheng Bin still had a video record of his meeting with Yaoyao, so he didn't want to waste a bit of time because of this guy. He reluctantly retracted his hand and continued to open the lunch box.

According to Ling Yaoyao's instructions, Cheng Bin first brought out the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," which is said to have the best curative effect. He also took Yangzhou Egg Fried Rice and three other dishes that match well with meat and vegetables.

When the soup box containing the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" was opened, the whole room was full of tangy fragrance!

From the exquisite snacks made by Ling Yaoyao before, Cheng Bin knew that the girl's cooking skills should be very good. But he did not expect that the dishes that she made today were actually this fragrant, which made his index finger move and his mouth was coveting!

In order to chase the military doctor, Luo Wenhui, Cheng Bin is an unusual combatant who has learned cooking skills!

And after a long time of hard practice, from the initial dark cooking, now his cooking is no worse than intelligent robots.

When Luo Wenhui rejected him before, she said, "Unless you cook up to the level of a five-star chef, I can't be with you!"

Luo Wenhui said this was nothing more than being so annoyed because Cheng Bin ignored her refusal several times. Unexpectedly, Cheng Bin actually learned how to cook!

Although Cheng Bin's level is still far from the level of a five-star chef, Cheng Bin is already very good. Lately, Luo Wenhui has also been faintly moved by him, and her attitude towards him has been relaxed.

Cheng Bin reluctantly resisted the continual secretion of his saliva, holding a spoon, and wanted to help Ling Xuan to serve the soup. But Ling Xuan used his arm to block him and grabbed the soup spoon in his hand. The majestic major general, it is rare for him to... kind enough to serve Cheng Bin, his deputy assistant, some soup.

............

If he was not so stingy and only gave him less than half a bowl of soup with one or two small pieces of meat, it would be even better!

What was even more shocking was that there were still several full-filled lunch boxes, but Ling Xuan cruelly said, "This is your share. There is no more!"

It's not easy to grab food from a tiger's mouth!

Cheng Bin also understood that even though Ling Xuan didn't beat him in this manic period, he can still beat him when he returns to normal in the future, to the point that he would not be able to take care of himself. He just needs to use the excuse of practicing.

The food is what Ling Xuan's love sister made to treat his illness. Cheng Bin didn't really plan to ask him to divide it in half. He just wants to taste it. He also knows what it means to be polite.

He picked up the small bowl of "Buddha Jump Over the Wall" and sighed, "Oh, petty ghost!"

However, after the first sip of the soup entered his mouth...

Cheng Bin's first thought was, 'Damn, how could there be such delicious food?'

The second thought is that before he officially together with Luo Wenhui, he must not let her taste the food made by Ling Yaoyao... Otherwise, if Luo Wenhui raises the benchmark to this abnormal level, he is afraid that he has no hope in his life to chase her!

The third thought is, 'Such delicious food. How can I only eat such a little bit!!!'

As the soup's spiritual power was absorbed into Cheng Bin's spiritual realm and comforted him, the fourth thought followed, 'Didn't Ling Yaoyao just enter the food auxiliary therapy department for such a short time? Why is this food's curative effect much better than the works of those master food assistant therapists?'

Or maybe, this is not her only work, but a mentor helped to guide her?

Cheng Bin, who was planning to "just have a little of taste," regretted it. He is holding the empty soup bowl and eagerly leans against Ling Xuan. He is not afraid of his cold face or his bulging veins and said in kindness, "Axuan, you know that my spiritual realm is also a little problematic. I am on the verge of mania, even though it is not as serious as you! Little Yaoyao prepares a lot of food, you can't finish eating it, and it will be wasted. If you keep it for a long time, it will taste bad, and it will be a violent thing for your mind! Just let me help you eat more! Just reward me of my hard work going in the speed of light to run errands for you!"

When Ling Xuan eats the food made by Ling Yaoyao, he feels the happiest. He doesn't want to lose his temper at the moment. He just wants to enjoy it with all his heart.

Logically, he is reluctant to share the "caring food" that Yaoyao made for him with other people, but Cheng Bin is his best brother, and what he said is true...

Ling Xuan had to say impatiently, "You can only eat a little bit more!"

Then he added a small bowl of egg fried rice to Cheng Bin.

The way Major General Ling was so stingy when protecting his food really amazed the doctors in the monitoring room! The supplementary food brought back by the colonel looks really good! Even though he has just taken some nutrient solutions, he is a little hungry.

Ling Xuan looked in the direction of the camera and said coldly, "Turn off the monitoring. I have something to tell Cheng Bin. When he goes out, you can turn it on again."

The doctor hesitated for a while for fear that if the surveillance was taken off, Cheng Bin might have to come out horizontally later...

[T/N: Meaning that Cheng Bin might get beaten up and had to be carried out.]

 

Cheng Bin also waved his hand towards the camera and said, "It's okay. Turn it off. I have some personal matters to report to the major general."

Cheng Bin knew that Ling Xuan wanted to watch the video of the entire meeting between him and Ling Yaoyao.

Cheng Bin recorded the video with the camera on the communicator. The angle was not very clear.

But it was enough for Ling Xuan to see his little girl whom he hadn't seen for six days. Her head grew a little taller, and her figure grew a little better.

The Biying fruit's effect should have passed. The little girl's height is still too petite compared to him, but he likes her no matter what she looks like.

He heard her say to Cheng Bin in a sly tone, "The things I make are not that delicious. If you eat them, you have to help me look for Ling Xuan..."

Ling Xuan couldn't help but recall this girl's lovely appearance when she asked him to live in his officer dormitory.

Even when Ling Xuan was in a manic period, his eyes softened subconsciously.

With so many supplementary foods, the little girl must have got up early in the morning and started preparing them. Probably she was not even willing to spend time eating.

In her last sentence, the little girl must have turned into anger, mistakenly thinking that he had told Cheng Bin about them.

This was wrong. He never mentioned her name to Cheng Bin... But it was true that he did not cover it well enough, and Cheng Bin found out about it.

Ling Xuan watched the short video three times. Even the unparalleled delicacy of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" couldn't distract him from the video.

Then he asked Cheng Bin to send him the video and delete it from the archive.

Ling Xuan said quietly, "If I am not seriously injured, you can tell her truthfully... If it is serious, then just say it was light. If it is about to die, then don't tell her. Just say that I go out on a long-term mission."

Cheng Bin shook his head and said, "Tsk, buddy, you are really stuck!"

Probably the food supplement made by Ling Yaoyao was too effective. Or Ling Xuan thought of talking to her earlier, even though he could only use the satellite network and communication device. In short, at ten o'clock that night, Ling Xuan was completely free from the danger of mental mania, and he could come out of the isolation room.

The supplementary food that Cheng Bin retrieved from Ling Yaoyao was now in Ling Xuan's hands. Ling Xuan was only giving Chang Bin a little taste of each food.

This was also because Ling Yaoyao specifically told Cheng Bin that "Ling Xuan can't finish eating." Otherwise, Ling Xuan felt that he could finish eating them. Even if he felt uncomfortable from eating too much, he didn't want to give it away.

What, how come Cheng Bin did not dare to keep the food himself? Ling Xuan doesn't even need to hit him himself. He just needs to give him instruction to double his training every day...

So even if he knew that Ling Xuan was avenging his personal vengeance, Cheng Bin had no choice but to follow his official order.

Cheng Bin thought that if Luo Wenhui even brought a potion for him, he would not give it away even if it was poison. So he understood that it is natural for humans to value girls over friends.

Ling Yaoyao was busy all day.

She was busy making all kinds of supplementary foods in the morning, and she had a hot pot at noon. In the afternoon, she went to the commercial street near the school and looked at the two supplementary food/pharmaceutical shops under her name that the Wei grandparents gave her.

 

The two shops are also located next to each other. They are in the best part of the commercial street.

The name of the store is also very simple and very special.

The managers of the two stores are the people trained by Wei's family. They have been in charge of these two stores for several years.

They were twin sisters in their thirties from the auxiliary therapy department. The older sister, Fu Ying, is a senior food assistant therapist, and the younger sister, Fu Luo, is a senior pharmacy assistant therapist.

When Ling Yaoyao wanted to order some ingredients for "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", she had dealt with the two in the video call. She had a preliminary understanding of their personality and habits.

Sister Fu Ying is more lively, exquisite, and business-minded. She takes care of the business of supplementary food shops very well. In addition to various curative supplementary foods, there are also many exquisite ordinary foods, lightly processed supplementary fruit, supplementary teas, etc. She also ingeniously hires handsome and beautiful full-time waiters. Although the prices are a bit expensive, the shop is very popular with nearby students.

Sister Fu Luo is relatively quiet and works in an orderly manner. The auxiliary medicine shop doesn't need too many tricks, but the business is also very hot. The price goes on the route of small profits but quick turnover. The store provides a special counter to help students in the nearby pharmacology department to sell their auxiliary medicines with only 10% commission. But it must be medicine with a mental activity factor of above average before the shop is willing to accept it. The shop has a good reputation in the student circle.

Because Ling Yaoyao is mainly a food therapist, she went directly to a food shop first.

Fu Ying and Fu Luo stood together. The beautiful sisters looked very attractive, very bright, and pretty. They even looked a bit more seductive than little girls in their eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twenties around the campus. Their mature women's charm is also one of the reasons why the business of the two stores is booming.

When Fu Ying saw Ling Yaoyao, her eyes lit up, and she smiled. "I didn't expect that Admiral Wei Ling and Qian Yao's daughters are already grown up and so beautiful! Twenty-three years ago, my sister and I were only ten years old, and we were attacked by pirates. Admiral Wei Ling rescued us from the pirates. Knowing that pirates killed our parents, Qian Yao brought us back to the Wei family's house so that we, sisters, had a home and a shelter. We can continue to study..."

Speaking of the latter, Fu Ying's eyes were a little moist, but she adjusted her mood quickly and continued, "Sorry. I made Miss Yaoyao laugh."

Fu Luo handed a piece of tissue to her sister. Her pretty face said with a blank expression, "Miss Yaoyao, don't worry, we are not deliberate. It's just that you and Qian Yao look alike. My sister is easier to be nostalgic. After seeing you in the video, we were looking forward to you coming to the store, so we can see you in person. Knowing that you are coming, we deliberately closed the stores in advance."

In the previous video, Ling Yaoyao simply greeted them and requested the ingredients and medicinal materials she wanted. Unexpectedly, the sisters had such a relationship with her biological parents whom she had never met.

It is no wonder that Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei are giving her these two shops. Probably so that she can learn more about her biological parents from these sisters.

Ling Yaoyao had never seen Wei Ling and Qian Yao, but she could have imagined that they must also be a couple of deep affection. Wei Ling was upright and iron-blooded, yet he loved his wife and daughter deeply.

 

Ling Yaoyao smiled and said, "Don't call me Miss Yaoyao. Although you call my mother "Sister", you two are too young and look not much older than me. I really can't call you auntie. I will call you Sister Fu Ying and Sister Fu Luo!"

Then she couldn't help but curiously ask, "You all said that my mother and I look like... Do you have pictures of my parents? Actually, I don't know what they look like..."

Fu Ying smiled and said, "In the Wei family's house, the masters do not allow us to mention those two, for fear that the old lady will be sad... I dare not to look at their photos, but of course, I have them."

Fu Luo tacitly turned on the communicator and opened a holographically projected photo from the encrypted folder. It was a wedding photo of Wei Ling wearing a black military uniform and Qian Yao wearing an off-white wedding dress.

Wei Ling's face was cold and solemn, looking somewhat majestic, but the woman next to him looked very soft.

The woman, who held his arm and looked up at him, is a woman who was as beautiful as peach and plum blossoms. Her look was unparalleled. Her light-colored blonde hair was coiled into a complicated and exquisite hair bun, and her stunning face had a bright and happy smile.

The woman's facial features in the holographic photo are indeed similar to Ling Yaoyao, especially the stunningly beautiful peach eyes, and pale golden hair, almost exactly the same.

Even the cold temperament on the man's body was 20-30% points similar to Ling Yaoyao.

Ling Yaoyao couldn't help but say, "Can you pass me a copy of this photo..."

Fu Luo: "Of course."

Who knows why, Ling Yaoyao feels that one day, they will definitely come back.

Probably she lost her parents early in her previous life. So in this life, she wanted to make it up with double love!

Ling Yaoyao asked some things about Qian Yao, for example, what kind of auxiliary therapist was she?

Fu Ying: "Food!"

Fu Luo: "Pharmaceuticals!"

Well, in fact, she was both. Although she never specifically combine medicine and food, Qian Yao's attainments in these two fields are not low. She was at a master's level in both. The two sisters, Fu Ying and Fu Luo, learn the same also because of Qian Yao's influence and guidance in the production of food/pharmaceutical supplementary treatment.

Ling Yaoyao originally only regarded these two stores as her supplier of food and medicinal materials, but she also thought that it would be better if the food therapy shop could be transformed into an ancient Chinese cuisine style. She even considered taking supplementary therapy and medicated diet route in the future, but at the moment, she hesitated.

Fu Ying, Fu Luo, is using their own method to commemorate her mother, Qian Yao. Perhaps it is better to operate these two stores without her intervening...

Fu Ying seemed to see her hesitation and quickly said, "In fact, it's just sister Qian Yao never avoids us when she is making food and medicine. The stores' business model is based on our comprehensive investigation of other food therapies and pharmacy stores. On this street alone, there are two or three that follow our business model, and the business is getting worse and worse.

If Yaoyao has any thoughts, just bring them up. The shop is yours, and we just take care of it! I have been following your dynamics and know that your "Ancient Chinese Gourmet House" operated in the Star Network has a great reputation. If you are willing to develop into a physical store, I will be very happy to help. I am afraid that you will not have so much time to cook by yourself."

 

Fu Luo added, "Of course, if your ideas are unreliable. We won't let you mess around."

Ling Yaoyao didn't say much and directly took out the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" that Old Cai left her in the food box.

Ling Yaoyao didn't eat it at all at lunch but kept it on her space button. Old Cai and the others only thought she wanted to take it back home.

The rich scent of Buddha jumping over the wall instantly spread throughout a food therapy shop. Fortunately, it is closed at the moment. Otherwise, the customers will be crazy!

012, who had become a belt around Ling Yaoyao's waist, could no longer hold it down. It thought it was inconspicuously protruding out its vines, poking Ling Yaoyao's hand, and said cutely in a baby voice, "Master, I still want to drink this..."

The strong and attractive fragrance attracted Fu Ying and Fu Luo, but they were bothered by the fact that Ling Yaoyao carried an alien plant as a pet on her body. They stared at the soup box firmly, and they did not hide their longing look at Ling Yaoyao!

Fu Ying is well-mannered but still can't calm down. "What kind of food is this? How can it be so fragrant?!"

Fu Luo, who has always been calm, is also rarely excited. "I want to eat!!!"

Ling Yaoyao smiled, "Then trouble Sister Fu Ying with four small bowls..."

As the chef, she has not had time to taste it!

The amount that Mr. Cai left for Ling Yaoyao is not small, about 500ml, which is enough for one person to drink. But if you divide it into four portions, the amount is pitiful.

012 remembered that this was the third time it had drank it. It wanted to put its vines into the soup bowl but held itself back. A few vines carefully rolled the soup bowl and raised it awkwardly, "Master, you can take half of my share!"

The actions of baby blood vines are so heart-warming!

Ling Yaoyao couldn't help but touch its branches and leaves and said with a smile, "No, I have enough. You can drink it. I will make more for you in the future."

Ling Yaoyao slowly picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of this interstellar version of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,"... carefully savoring the taste.

The soup is delicious and mellow, thick but not greasy. The meat is soft but not mushy, and it melts in the mouth.

It was quite successful. Compared to what she had done before, it was not much worse. But because of the urgent timing this time, the materials used were not very detailed. There are still many areas that can be improved.

The auxiliary therapy effect is purely based on the essence of medicinal materials, which is not outstanding.

In the future, when she can handle meat ingredients, she had to choose some more advanced exotic animal meat ingredients instead of ordinary second and third grade ordinary ingredients. This "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" will not only be restricted to the second level.

When Ling Yaoyao finished drinking the small half bowl of soup in her hand, the soup bowls of the Fu sisters and 012 had already bottomed out.

When Fu Ying handed a sterile tissue to 012 with great interest, she found that this little guy was making a heart sign with its vines!

'This little guy is too smart and cute!'

Fu Luo looked at the cute blood vine with some enthusiasm. She stretched out her hand and tried to sneak a little bit of touch on 012's branches and leaves, but it was swiftly avoided by 012.

 

Fu Luo had to look at Ling Yaoyao and couldn't wait to say, "Little Yaoyao, where did you get this food? It's not what you have made it, right?"

012 very skillfully wiped its vines clean with sterile tissues and then obediently retracted to Ling Yaoyao's waist and continued to be her belt.

Ling Yaoyao said quietly, "I made it. What do you think? If the food therapy shop adopts the style of ancient Chinese cuisine in the future, the soup just now will be limited to once a week. Usually, other ancient Chinese auxiliary therapeutic foods are the main dishes. The level of "Ancient Chinese Food House" is about the same. Of course, the original characteristics of the store, auxiliary therapy fruits, desserts, tea... and the characteristics of ordinary food services will be retained... Sister Fu Ying, are you confident?"

Fu Ying's eyes were taken back from the baby blood vine, and the whole person became enthusiastic. "Of course, I have confidence! Very confident. My God! I can't wait!"

Fu Luo was a little depressed and said, "Ah, is it too late for me to switch to food therapy?"

Ling Yaoyao smiled and said, "You don't need to change to food therapy, you only need to cooperate with Sister Fu Ying and make a few main medicinal meals, that's enough..."

"Youjian Food Therapy Shop" will gradually transform from its original business model to a route that focuses on ancient Chinese cuisine. The Fu family sisters have supported it with their hands and feet (...), but the actual implementation requires a long-term plan.

Because Ling Yaoyao is definitely not able to supply ancient Chinese cuisine to "Youjian Food Therapy Shop" for a long term, it is a must to train an exclusive chef. Not just an ordinary chef, but a food assistant, and they must be a 100% trustworthy food assistant therapist.

Ling Yaoyao thought about it and felt that the best candidate was Fu Ying herself. As for the others, let Fu Ying check them out. If there are trustworthy ones, take them to study together, or let Fu Ying teach them.

Fu Ying is already a senior food assistant therapist. What she wants to learn is how to make the dishes more delicious. As a businessman, making money is the most important thing. Fu Ying doesn't think that learning how to cook with a little girl is shameful. She even feels extremely honored.

Fu Ying can follow her instructional video on Weibo to learn how to do it. Later, when she practices making supplementary foods on Star Network, she can also let Fu Ying watch them online and follow along.

Fu Luo couldn't help being jealous and said, "I want to watch it together!"

Although Fu Luo is not in charge of researching food therapy, the herbal teas in the food therapy shop are all made by her.

Ling Yaoyao smiled and said, "Okay, thanks to the two beautiful sisters who don't dislike me!"

Ling Yaoyao also demonstrated a few simple, delicious and easy-to-use dishes on the spot. Fortunately, Fu Ying is very savvy. She learns quickly and can learn by analogy. Although her cooking is not as good as Ling Yaoyao's, it's still pretty good.

She could promote ancient Chinese cuisine, and there is no need for her to make it personally in the future, but she can also eat the food she likes. Although it is a bit troublesome now, it is all necessary.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Yuan sent a message asking her if she would go to the villa where he lives for dinner and eat takeaway from the five-star restaurant. Of course, Qiao Mingyao and Ye Xi are also coming.

Wei Yuan was talking about the five-star restaurant take-out, but Qiao Mingyao shouted from the side, "Hey, Little Yaoyao, you promised to make us a delicious meal over the weekend..."

After being knocked on his forehead by Ye Xi, he had to change his words aggrievedly, "Well, another day will do..."

Ling Yaoyao thought that she and Fu Ying had cooked some dishes the whole afternoon, and they needed someone to sweep them, so she smiled and asked Wei Yuan to come over to eat.

The food therapy shop belongs to the Wei family. So Wei Yuan naturally knows it. He has eaten there many times before. When he thought that this shop was now Yaoyao's, he wondered if the little girl would make the shop more delicious and attractive?

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I will bring the two oil bottles to eat."

By the time Ling Yaoyao returned to the school dormitory, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The daily instructional video on Weibo has been recorded in the store. Today's instructional video is "Fragrant Taro and Fox Nut Pot," a very delicious medicinal meal.

[T/N: Fox Nut or Makhana is the seeds of prickly water lily.]

She only needs to make it again on Star Network and add it to the "Ancient Chinese Gourmet House."

After finishing all this, Ling Yaoyao entered the lounge of the mecha battle platform...

Then she discovered that Ling Xuan was there!

The tall and grim man was doing a mental control training. When he saw her coming in, he asked quietly, "Is it all done?"

Ling Yaoyao was stunned for a long time before reacting. She ran to him to look carefully and said with joy, "Your mild mental mania is gone? Didn't they say that you can't surf the Internet..."

Ling Xuan looked at her greedily. He regretted that her star network avatar was not what she actually looked like.

He explained in a low voice, "Well, the supplementary food you made is very effective. It can be online for a while, but someone is monitoring the whole process."

After a pause, Ling Xuan leaned close to Ling Yaoyao's ear and lowered his voice. "If you have a secret, you wait until I go home to talk about it."

The warm breath of the man gushes into her ears. Accompanied by his meaningful words, and the thought of their conversation was being watched...

Ling Yaoyao felt that her face was hot. She took two steps subconsciously and said blankly, "No need to whisper. Just talking normally is fine!"
