Chapter 31 The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant

Liu Xin soaked her hands in water to brush the dishes, and after a while, her skin was soaked soft, and she looked more and more pale.

When she looked at the pot, Aunt Mei seemed to be aware of it, and deliberately turned to face the stove, avoiding her gaze.

The medicine jar on the stove kept steaming, slowly emitting to the periphery, and the entire back kitchen was filled with a white gas, and took a deep breath, as if taking medicinal food, and this invisible gas seemed to be digested faster, Liu Xin felt its benefits all the time, and felt relaxed and happy, as if he was in a fairyland.

Aunt Mei didn't come over to help when she stopped, but sorted out her personal belongings, put lipstick, nail polish and other items in a small bag, and after tidying up, she began to clean the stove again, and put the bags of medicinal herbs into a large plastic bag and hung them.

In the end, she turned her attention to the spice package in the corner, the seasoning was very ordinary, it was also composed of peppercorns, fennel and other big ingredients, Aunt Mei was a little disgusted and ignored it, in her opinion, the small boss concocted the package was not even as good as the thirteen incense that sold for two yuan a box in the supermarket.

"It's probably because the medicinal restaurant has just opened, and Qu Ruo doesn't have much money!"

Aunt Mei easily thought of this explanation, Qu Ruo was just a student, and without the support of Boss Wang, could the medicinal restaurant be opened?

She sneered, no wonder Qu Ruo would choose this cheap seasoning!

"Liu Xin, let me help you!"

Yin Ling didn't know when he appeared in the back kitchen, skillfully pulled up the clothes on his arms and put his hands into the water: "Your illness is just right, this kind of physical work is still less to do, and the days will be long in the future, there is a chance to come over and help!"

It's not the first time Yin Ling has done this kind of thing, the speed is relatively much faster, with her joining, the dishes, chopsticks, and plates in the water will be washed in a while!

"I know!" Liu Xin was a little sad, she was very conflicted in her heart, she wanted to see Qu Ruo every day, but she didn't want to see him and Yin Ling's sweet appearance, she was just like an outsider, sitting among them seemed particularly abrupt.

Smiling reluctantly, Liu Xin asked enviously, "Are all the prescriptions in the medicinal diet from Qu Ruo's hands?"

The Liu family is in the pharmaceutical business, but it is a short board in traditional Chinese medicine preparations, she knows the value of a good prescription and the hard-won, the more she knows, the more she admires the seniors.

"Of course!" Yin Ling has always been stingy in complimenting her boyfriend, and said proudly with her head held high: "These prescriptions are indeed very good, even my parents are amazed!"

The master had symptoms of tinnitus, and Qu Ruo was also very concerned, although she could not go to Yin's house to teach the medicinal diet method in person, she asked Yin Ling to bring back a lot.

Both elders' physical condition has improved, and Professor Yin can now run two or three laps with his classmates on the school playground, while his wife's tinnitus has basically been eliminated.

"This is all Qu Ruo's credit!" Yin Ling placed the plates and bowls on the shelves in rows, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the front hall, and leave the rest to Aunt Mei to do!"

Yin Ling came and Liu Xin walked out of the kitchen, Aunt Mei didn't say a word, her eyes stared directly at the stove, and she didn't even know that the soup in the medicine jar was boiling and coming out.

"Magnetic, magnetic......"

The sound of hot water falling on the stove woke Aunt Mei, who hurriedly turned off the heat and brought out the medicinal food to the long-awaited guests.

"Senior, can I still come over tomorrow to help?"

Liu Xin said hesitantly, she had made up her mind to stay away from Qu Ruo, but as soon as she saw him, she lost her bearings, and asked in a ghostly manner.

"I just want to stay quietly by the senior's side as a friend and not disturb his life!"

Liu Xin defended herself in her heart, and even she didn't know how much truth there was.

"Of course, as long as you want to come, the Medicinal Diet Pavilion is always welcome!"

Qu Ruo sincerely invited that consuming a few more medicinal diets would have many benefits for her body.

"Thank you, senior!"

Liu Xin pretended to thank him senselessly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After going back, she felt the changes brought about by the medicinal diet, and her body began to become lighter, not to mention that when she was sick in the past, she was afraid that a healthy girl could not compare with herself.

The next morning, Liu Xin hurriedly drank a bowl of millet porridge made by her mother and walked out, chattering incessantly: "Dad, Mom, Senior Qu Ruo's medicinal diet is really amazing, you might as well try it too!"

Due to her illness, her parents deliberately bought a house near the school to take care of her.

Liu Xin usually lives in the school dormitory, and every weekend she will go home and be accompanied by her parents to the hospital for check-ups.

In the past, she did drag down her parents a lot, but not in the future, Liu Xin smiled and stepped on the bus to the food city.

When she arrived at the food city at nine o'clock, she was surprised that the medicinal food restaurant had not yet opened.

"Could it be that Aunt Mei is up late?"

The wall in front of the medicinal restaurant clearly says that it will be open from 9 am to 9 pm, and it has been more than half an hour, why hasn't Aunt Mei shown up?

Liu Xin could only stand at the door and wait, more and more diners gathered at the door, many people were booked, and many people began to complain: "The medicinal restaurant has always kept its promises, why is it late today for no reason?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, maybe the employee got up late, I'm really sorry!"

Liu Xin began to help appease the diners, and suddenly remembered that she didn't have the mobile phone number of her senior, and she couldn't get in touch if she wanted to.

Aunt Mei's phone number was remembered at the door, and she hurriedly dialed it, and after unplugging, there was a string of blind tones, and then she was hung up.

"What the hell is Aunt Mei doing!"

Liu Xin was extremely anxious.

Until twelve o'clock, Qu Ruo and Yin Ling arrived late, and when they arrived at the medicinal restaurant and opened the door, they saw a spare key and a note on the table, the note was written by Aunt Mei, which probably means that something happened at home, she has gone back, and please Qu Ruo find someone else to replace her as a cook, Aunt Mei does not plan to come back!

"This ......"

The incident happened suddenly, more than a dozen customers were still waiting in the hall to eat, and Qu Ruo could only catch the ducks on the shelves and make medicinal food himself.

When he walked to the back kitchen, his face turned pale, and all the medicinal herb packets on the stove were gone, not even a single bag left!

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, Aunt Mei is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!"

Qu Ruo's teeth itched, but when he saw the seasoning bag that was still in the corner, he smiled: "Even if you are Sun Wukong, you can't turn over the palm of the Buddha's hand, and after leaving the medicinal food hall, I see how much wind and waves you can make!"

He looked serious for a while, and laughed to himself for a while, but the two girls around him were startled, and Yin Ling asked with concern: "Qu Ruo, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

Qu Ruo shook his head, walked to the hall and apologized to the customers: "The staff I hired left for some reason, and the medicinal materials are also out of stock, I will go to purchase them now, if you don't dislike the poor taste of my cooking, wait another hour, and I will make medicinal food for you!"

He confessed that almost all the diners could understand the difficulties he encountered, only a few customers chose to leave, and more people wanted to see the craftsmanship of the boss behind the scenes.

It is rumored that Dr. Qu Xiao's methods are all high-quality, and all the prescriptions he gives are high-quality.
