Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 504 Medicinal Diet

She walked to the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and thought that although the Dayan Dynasty was not as technologically advanced as modern times, she had loving family, close friends, and a beloved husband here, which was already a great happiness.

Gu Qingyun quietly walked behind her and hugged her gently, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the tranquility and warmth of the moment.

……

The next day, Qi Ning'an slept until noon. It felt great that no one woke her up and no one disturbed her sleep.

Only when she slowly walked to the restaurant did she feel alive.

Everything seemed to be thriving with vitality. Everyone who saw her would greet her warmly. It turned out that the world outside the palace was indeed more comfortable.

"Young lady, aren't you going to see the new shop today? Why are you coming to the restaurant?"

The Autumnal Equinox is still the vibrant Autumnal Equinox.

"Who said I wanted to go and see a new shop? I've been working for so long, I need to take a break."

Qi Ning'an expressed contempt for himself for talking nonsense after a few drinks last night. Who doesn't have a rest for 365 days a year?

But she was tired. She hadn't given up for half a year, and she felt sorry for herself for two months.

Although she now wants to do nothing, how can she be the kind of person who can sit idle?

After lying in the yard and basking in the sun for a while, I thought about going to Tianyuanju again. As soon as I got out of the alley, I thought of Koi again. He seemed to have said some time ago that he had found a shop and wanted to open a small medicine shop.

Sure enough, I found a small pharmacy in this alley. Compared with those pharmacies with doctors, its business was naturally not as good.

In recent years, Koi has learned more about the preparation of medicinal materials and their properties. Although he can also prescribe simple medicines, if there are any difficult and complicated diseases, Koi will still directly recommend going to other places for diagnosis.

However, there are also many people who come to him with prescriptions to get medicine, so it can be considered acceptable.

When Qi Ning'an saw this, he thought, isn't this another business opportunity?

She remembered that in her previous life, flower tea and fruit tea were very popular, and even many medicinal herbs could be directly used to make tea, so many people would buy them to try.

It is healthier than milk tea and more flavorful than plain water.

Qi Ning'an pushed open the door of the pharmacy.

Jinli was writing a prescription with his head down, and didn't see who was coming. He just said softly, "If you have a prescription, hand it over and I'll get the medicine for you."

Although Koi is no longer studying in the mountains, he has never forgotten what his master said: learning is like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

He has always insisted on writing prescriptions, prescribing medicine, dispensing medicine, and organizing medical records. Every once in a while, he would go to the mountains to find his master, hoping that one day he would also be qualified to give consultations.

"It's me." Qi Ning'an replied.

Jinli was stunned, "Young lady, why are you free to come here today?"

After the pharmacy was opened, the young lady never had time to come here once. He was worried that these things of his would disturb the young lady, so he didn't even tell her.

"Can't I come?"

Qi Ning'an still felt that Koi had always been acting like a little adult. There was obviously nothing to mind, but it had caused a rift between everyone.

"No, no, please sit down, young lady." Jinli waved his hand quickly and moved out a comfortable soft chair for Qi Ningan to sit on.

"How's your pharmacy business going?"

Qi Ning sat back and took the cup of lotus leaf water that Jinli brought her.

Koi frowned slightly and smiled, "It's just so-so. It's okay."

Qi Ning'an didn't want to argue with him anymore and just spoke out what was on his mind.

"I plan to open a restaurant specializing in medicinal food. During this period of time, many of the Queen's prescriptions are thanks to you. Fortunately, you know how to regulate the body, and the Queen's health is getting better and better.

I want to make some prescriptions that don't necessarily have the effect of taking medicine. The effect of the medicine only needs to be mild. The most important thing is to help people nourish their bodies and improve some bad physical conditions. They can be adjusted better without taking medicine.

For example, the spleen and stomach, qi and blood, etc.

Although we cannot have too high hopes for medicated food, when we occasionally cannot take medicine, eating some medicated food can also be nourishing.

How about you help me adjust the prescription when the time comes?"

Jinli's eyes were filled with tears. The young lady was always like this. Whenever he felt that he had reached a bottleneck, the young lady would appear and tell him what to do next.

"Well, that's good, of course."

Jinli spoke sincerely and no longer hesitated. He did not expect to make any money, he just hoped to help the young lady.

But he never expected that what the young lady said next almost made him cry. He always felt that he was so useless and always needed the young lady's help.

“Once our restaurant is established, there will surely be many people curious about the medicinal materials in it. All the packages of medicinal materials will be sold in the restaurant, and people can take them home to cook chicken, duck, spare ribs, beef… whatever. You can then put the name of your small medicine shop on it, and many people will come to you to buy some medicine for their health.

After that, I also plan to make some herbal tea. As you know, things like pear slices, apple slices, and roses all have certain effects, but I'm not too sure about the ratio. I'll have to trouble you to help me figure out the dosage and ratio, and then seal the bag. I can take it directly to the restaurant to brew it.

Among us, you are the only one who understands how to use these things, so I can only leave it to you.

As for the bowls, plates and cups, let your sister Qitao make them, and the three of us can just prepare the medicinal food together.

By the way, I won’t give you money for the things I want, but if you have any medicinal herbs or food ingredients on my farm, you can transport them to my farm.

If you don’t have it on my farm, just go buy it. After all, these things are to be sold in my restaurant. You… well… just consider it as free labor for me.”

Qi Ning'an smiled faintly. She actually didn't care about Guan Jinli's distant and polite attitude. She knew very well that this child was grateful and there was no way she could get along with her without boundaries.

In that case, let’s try a method that makes everyone comfortable.

She constantly troubled him and gave him orders, which made him feel that it was meaningful and she could also get what she wanted. Why not do it?

Koi nodded decisively, "Of course it's good. As for what's not available, I'll find a way to get it. You don't have to buy it anymore."

"This stuff is in long-term demand. You'd better come to my farm and grow them all. Otherwise, if the supply runs out in the future, it will be no joke."

Qi Ningan said seriously that this was no small matter, and she never wanted to experience the fatigue of eating beef again.
