Now, no one said anything. If it was an ordinary illness or not a special emergency, everyone would naturally be willing to find a Kind Doctor. They felt even more at ease and felt that it was more reliable.

Auntie Beizi took a yard after taking an inch. She snorted proudly and said, “A few days ago, Auntie Liang’s son, Dan Wa, had diarrhea. It was so bad that his face and lips were green. He was about to faint and was carried down to the city to see the Kind Doctor. He took two doses of medicine and was fine after a few days! The Kind Doctor is so capable. He was even hired by the officials. He’s so reliable. Isn’t he better than the Guan family’s sixth son?”

“Furthermore, that Kind Doctor from the government even sent over an additional bag of herbs. He said that it was for the child to strengthen his body. He said that most children would be weak after falling ill and would need to drink some more herbs to nourish their bodies. It’s not as simple as looking at illnesses.”

“One would feel at ease for their children to be looked at by the doctors hired by the officials. How can Guan Chibei compare?”

Auntie Beizi let out a contemptuous laugh. She had won.

The villagers were convinced by her. Although they were grateful to Guan Chibei for saving the lives of the two children, their approvals were transferred to the Kind Doctors in the city. No one praised or marveled at Guan Chibei anymore.

Auntie Beizi was satisfied.

…

Ye Lulu had prepared fishballs in the morning and made two dishes with tofu. One was Japanese tofu and the other was crucian carp soup with tofu.

There was nothing special, especially the crucian carp soup with tofu. It was simply an ordinary dish. It was common even at the dining table of farmers. As long as one was lucky enough to fish from the river, it could be easily prepared after buying a piece of tofu.

However, that was what Ye Lulu wanted to prepare.

There was no other reason. It was nutritious. Which child wouldn’t drink this soup? Fish and tofu were good for the human body.

However, it was easy for ordinary fish soup to have a fishy smell. The tofu could also easily be stewed until it was rotten or tasteless. After combining both, it was less detestable.

Ye Lulu used the secret recipe from her aunt and uncle’s restaurant to prepare the crucian carp soup with tofu. At that time, this crucian carp soup with tofu was the best in the restaurant and many people ordered it.

The stewed crucian carp soup with tofu was fresh and fragrant. There was no fishy smell at all. The crucian carp meat was fresh and tender. The tofu was stewed until it was soft and moderate. The taste was even better. The essence of the fish soup was stewed in the tofu. With a bite, the tofu was delicious.

After sprinkling some green onions, the soup was fresh and fragrant.

Ye Lulu prepared the dishes and put them in a clean bamboo tube before rushing down the mountain.

This was because no matter what type of fish soup was simmered, it would turn fishy after being put in for a long time. This was inevitable. Fortunately, the weather was considered cold now. Furthermore, Ye Lulu had spent some effort to boil it, so it could be put in for a longer period of time.

Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei went to the new shop by the river. Soon, that follower arrived. Ye Lulu handed the fresh fishballs and two dishes related to tofu to the follower. The follower asked, “That Japanese tofu is alright. I’ve never heard of it. It should be something new, but this crucian carp soup with tofu…”

Wasn’t it too ordinary?

The follower’s expression froze as he received it stiffly. He heard Ye Lulu say, “It’s crucian carp soup with tofu. Take it back and tell your young miss that I specially made it. She can try it first to see if it suits her taste. If it doesn’t suit her taste, she can choose not to drink it.”

Ye Lulu’s attitude was like this. The follower hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. He left with two bamboo tubes and a basket of fresh fishballs.

Ye Lulu returned to the shop. She was going to make a plaque today and would finalize the name of the new restaurant with Guan Chibei.

Ye Lulu really liked the ‘Wei Lou’ she had mentioned last time. She felt that it had character and was easy to remember. However, just ‘Wei Lou’ alone was too plain. Furthermore, they wanted to have something special about it. Since half of the building was on the river, they wanted to add a word. ‘Linhe’ was direct and rough, but it was also unique.

However, if ‘Linhe’ was added to ‘Wei Lou’, it would become ‘Linhe Wei Lou’. It felt like one was vulgar and the other was elegant. One was straightforward and the other was interesting. When they were combined, it was a little inappropriate and unpleasant to listen to.

“Since you want ‘Wei Lou,’ didn’t you recite the entire poem about Wei Lou from your hometown? I remember that the last sentence in it said that its hands can pluck the stars. Why don’t we call it Zhai Xing Lou? When night comes, it will be more suitable for the scenery too. How about that?”

Guan Chibei said to her.

Together with ‘Linhe’, it would be called ‘Linhe Zhai Xing Lou’… that sounded alright too! The main thing was that the style was harmonious. It was meaningful, interesting, and straightforward.

Alright, then let’s call it ‘Linhe Zhai Xing Lou’? Initially, Ye Lulu wanted it to be either elegant or vulgar. ‘Wei Lou’ was special.

However, since this was the end of the discussion, they chose the most suitable one.

“Then let’s call it ‘Linhe Zhai Xing Lou’. I’ll get someone to make a plaque now.” Ye Lulu made the decision, including the color of the plaque. “Initially, I wanted to make it silver, like stars, but now, it’s better to make it golden. If a boat comes over from the Yuan River at night, it would be more eye-catching.”

Guan Chibei had no objections and agreed.

The two of them continued to supervise the work. In less than two hours, that follower returned and gave Ye Lulu ten taels of gold as a reward. He said that the young mistress had drunk the crucian carp soup with tofu and liked to eat the fresh Japanese tofu. Then, they used a few fishballs when cooking noodles.

Madam Rufei was very happy. Her young mistress had never had such an appetite but loved to eat now, so she gave Ye Lulu a lot of rewards with another meaning. It meant that if his young mistress was still in Yuan City in the future and still wanted to eat Ye Lulu’s food, they would continue to buy food from Ye Lulu.

Ye Lulu was preparing to open a new shop and was happy to have money. She quite liked that mother-daughter pair, so she agreed.

Everything was going well. At this moment, in the bustling Yuan City.

In front of the dignified and solemn gates of the government, there was a simple shed. It looked like it had just been built recently, but it had already been reinforced. What was strange was that this shed was actually quite harmonious in front of the government’s door. There was nothing wrong with it.

There was a long queue in front of the government…

Everyone in the queue was carrying a child in their arms. They had anxious and hopeful expressions, but they were overall at ease. They looked ahead and even smiled.

This was the scene of people queuing up for Kind Doctors every day.

It did not stop for almost the entire day because although Yuan City was not big, there would always be problems with children. Furthermore, ever since the government set up free medical treatment by Kind Doctors, some commoners would bring their children there even if they experienced any small symptoms.

In any case, although they had to pay for the medicine themselves, the medicinal herbs were also from the Kind Doctors. The medicinal herbs imported from the government were safe and cheap.. The Kind Doctors even gave a small bag of supplements for free.
