Chapter 1516 General Millet
They went all the way to the kitchen of the medicated diet restaurant.
No one was around. After ensuring that, Fang Qiu and He Xue got out of the car and walked in.
According to the news…
There were already media reporters waiting at the main entrance. Their purpose was to get a good position before the restaurant opened tomorrow. They also hoped to photograph Fang Qiu.
Luckily…
The kitchen was connected to the restaurant. Thus, Fang Qiu could enter the kitchen and come out at the opening ceremony tomorrow.
Notably…
Fang Qiu was going to try the dishes of those chefs.
They opened only one restaurant. It was impossible to let one chef cook for the whole restaurant. Li Guangcheng, born into a family cooking for emperors for generations, officially began working for the medicated diet brand. After that, he started accepting disciples.
Of course…
He Xue found some very talented young people to be his disciples.
However, these young people couldn’t learn upon arrival. Li Guangcheng would do another round of selection. The rest of the candidates were qualified in all aspects. When ensuring everything was okay, he formally began his teaching.
Those who were very fond of cooking dreamed of studying medicated diets.
Therefore, they learned the skills for medicated diets with concentrated attention.
Li Guangcheng had taught these people what he should teach. As for what he shouldn’t teach, he wouldn’t reveal anything to them.
Before He Xue picked up Fang Qiu…
She had already asked these people to try making some dishes. Then, when she brought Fang Qiu back, the dishes could be officially served.
In the kitchen lobby…
A long table was set up at He Xue’s request. The dishes made by the chefs were all brought to the table.
On the table, these dishes sent out a strong fragrance.
Fang Qiu sniffed carefully.
He could smell all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine from this aroma, but these smells of herbs were not strong. They seemed to have been neutralized. There was no longer the slightly pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine but a fresh scent.
“How is it?”
Smelling the fragrance, He Xue asked Fang Qiu with a smile.
“It smells good.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
When all the dishes were served, the chefs also walked out, waiting for the judgment from Fang Qiu and He Xue.
“Let’s eat.”
He Xue waved her hand and asked someone to bring two tableware sets. After handing Fang Qiu one set, she took the initiative to taste these dishes.
Fang Qiu didn’t waste any time.
He went to one side of the table and tasted the first dish.
The first dish was soup.
“To make this soup stock, we have filtered out all the dregs of medicinal herbs that may affect the taste. Only the pure meat of black chicken and essence soup are kept.”
A chef introduced it.
“Uh?”
Fang Qiu nodded. Scooping up a spoonful of soup, he sent a boneless piece of black chicken meat and the soup into his mouth.
He tasted and swallowed it.
“Not bad.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a satisfied smile and said, “The portion of Chinese medicinal herbs is appropriate. It can add the property of a medicine to the soup without affecting its taste. After the special processing, even the strong smell of medicinal herbs became mild. It tastes delicious .”
Fang Qiu praised with a smile. Then, he moved to try the next one.
After all, the imperial chef picked up and taught them in person.
They tasted all the dishes.
Fang Qiu analyzed every dish in depth. In his opinion, these dishes were perfectly cooked. Each dish was excellent in color, aroma, and taste. Besides, the medicinal herbs’ medical effect was not bad.
“Are you satisfied with them?”
After tasting all the dishes, He Xue asked with a smile.
“I feel quite pleased.”
Fang Qiu nodded and smiled. “These dishes have definitely met our requirements. Well done!”
These chefs heard Fang Qiu’s praise.
They were all very delighted.
“Everyone, have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, our restaurant will open for business. Work hard, and don’t make any mistakes!”
Fang Qiu said to all the chefs.
Due to his encouragement, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their minds.
Everything was ready.
They only needed to wait for tomorrow.
“Eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Eyes on Fang Qiu, He Xue asked, “Do you want to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony with me?”
“Forget about it.”
Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and said, “I’ll cheer for you from behind.”
“Cheering for us behind the scene?”
He Xue curled her lips and said, “But I think you burden yourself with your growing popularity.”
…
At 7:30 a.m. the next day…
Reporters from all over the country had been waiting outside the gate for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to begin.
In the meantime…
Soon, the live streamers for food came from all over the country to witness the moment.
“Is your boss here?”
A tall and thin woman ran to the restaurant’s front door and asked two waiters.
“Sorry for the inconvenience, but our restaurant will officially open in half an hour. If you need anything, please come back then.”
The waiter responded with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll wait here.”
The woman smiled back. Then, holding up a mobile phone stent for the livestream, she faced the mobile phone camera and said, “See? I’m not allowed to enter now. Hurry up and repost the link to my livestream. The more people watch my livestream, the more likely I am to go in and eat, and the more things you will see.”
After that, she chuckled.
This woman…
She was a food live streamer named General Millet.
She could be considered the most famous in the food streamer circle. Any common livestream she hosted could attract millions of people to watch. Though it was not an actual number of viewers, there must be a lot of viewers. Sometimes, the number even exceeded 10 million.
It was no exaggeration to say that she had tried all the snacks in Huaxia. Because she had eaten too much, netizens called her “Big Eater.”
This time…
To enjoy the Renyi Group’s medicated diets, she began to promote and prepare for this visit long ago. Notably, she resolved to prepare 100,000 Huaxia coins for this meal. She could experience a new diet and nurse her health!
Soon after…
It was eight o’clock in the morning.
He Xue and Li Guangcheng, the imperial chef, came out. There was a stage placed before the restaurant in advance. They would cut the ribbon at an opening ceremony.
As soon as the media reporters present saw He Xue and others, they began taking photos.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony…
Under the lens of all the reporters, the interview was soon over.
After the ribbon was cut…
He Xue announced that the signboard would be shown to the public!
The staff pulled off the cloth covering the signboard.
The huge and mysterious signboard came into everyone’s sight. It looked like a wall.
With a closer look…
They found it was indeed a wall.
The wall was engraved with many ancient stories about Chinese Medicine. They were medicine practicing stories about famous doctors like Sheng Nong, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, and Li Shizhen.
The signboard based on these well-known stories in ancient Huaxia was undoubtedly the best for a medicated diet restaurant!
Against the background…
The two words “Medicated Diet” appeared on this unique signboard.
The two words formed the Taiji symbol consisting of a double curved line bisecting a circle, one half of which was white and the other black. They echoed Yin and Yang in Chinese Medicine.
Lastly…
Under the “Medicated Diet” were two small words: Renyi Group.
On the whole…
The signboard was well-designed and top-of-the-range at a glance!
At the scene, everyone saw the plaque.
They couldn’t help exclaiming.
“It looked awesome.”
“This signboard is beautifully designed, isn’t it?”
“Medicated Diet? Is it this restaurant’s name?”
“Fantastic! Its name is what it is. It seems the Renyi Group always names its products in such a practical and realistic way.”
Everyone was talking about it.
On the stage…
He Xue and Li Guangcheng made a brief speech and ended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The medicated diet restaurant officially opened!
“Hold on.”
He Xue turned around and returned to the restaurant. Just then, the food streamer named General Millet suddenly ran out of the crowd. Waving and shouting, she ran straight to He Xue.
“What can I do for you?”
He Xue stopped and asked with a smile.
“My livestream has 15 million viewers. Could you let me in and have a free meal? I can help you promote your restaurant.”
As General Millet spoke, she took out another phone, opened the livestream page, and showed it to He Xue.
“I’m sorry.”
He Xue shrugged her shoulders and said, “But it seems our restaurant brings you growing popularity. You gain popularity because of our restaurant, and not the other way around. So…”
“But, but they can’t see the dishes in your restaurant?”
General Millet was anxious.
“Our medicated diet restaurant has an official website. From time to time, it will release a few dishes for appreciation. If others want to see our dishes, they can check our restaurant’s official website.”
He Xue said, smiling. Then, she turned to leave. But she paused. After thinking for a while, she turned around and said, “Well, our restaurant opens today. So, our first customer can get a 5% discount.”
“Holy shit!”
General Millet uttered a short cry of surprise. Without any hesitation, she darted into the restaurant.
He Xue smiled gently and walked into the restaurant — she was going to prepare for the arrival of the wealthy and powerful customers at noon.
Behind her…
“A 5% discount. It looks like a small discount, but it should help me save some money.”
After saying this to the camera for her livestream, General Millet walked into the gate of the medicated diet restaurant.
“Welcome!”
A strikingly handsome waiter came up to greet her and asked very elegantly, “Excuse me, are you alone?”
“Yes, just me.”
General Millet nodded.
“We don’t provide breakfast here. Are you sure you want to dine here?”
The waiter asked again.
“It’s a little early now, but it’s okay. I can eat until noon. If it doesn’t work, I can finish my meal in the afternoon.”
General Millet turned her head and looked around. Meanwhile, she controlled the camera so that the audience seeing her livestream could also see the restaurant’s interior.
“Excuse me, would you like to order now or accept our special service first? The Chinese Medicine doctors in our restaurant can feel your pulse and recommend dishes suitable for you.”
The waiter asked again.
“Where can I let a doctor take my pulse?”
General Millet asked.
“Please come with me.”
The waiter smiled and said, “Feeling pulse is the featured service of our restaurant. You have to pay for it.”
While patiently and detailedly explaining, the waiter quickly led General Millet to a special private room with Chinese Medicine doctors.
Two Chinese Medicine doctors were sitting inside the room and waiting for customers.
General Millet stepped forward and let them take her pulse.
Soon after…
After feeling her pulse, the doctors gave her a suitable prescription for medicated diet.
With the prescription in her hand, General Millet explained the situation to the livestream audience. Then, she walked into her exclusive private room under the waiter’s guidance.
