Chapter 496 - Assistant
Chapter 496 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" starts the action: Since Xiaocui genuinely wanted to learn and his clinic happened to need an extra hand... Find out what happens!
Since Xiaocui genuinely wanted to learn and his clinic happened to need an extra hand to help out, Chen Yang decided to take Xiaocui under his wing.
âWell, if thatâs the case, then itâs settled, youâll learn from me from now on.â
Upon hearing Chen Yangâs agreement, Xiaocui looked somewhat excited!
Her excited face lifted as she thanked Chen Yang, âThank you, Boss Chen!â
âNo need to thank me for that, and from now on, donât call me Boss Chen, it sounds too awkward.
If you donât mind, call me Brother Chen Yang, itâs friendlier,â Chen Yang said with a smile as he stood up.
At these words, Xiaocuiâs cheeks turned red, but she still nodded, âUmâŚ
okay, Brother Chen Yang.â
After their conversation, Chen Yang turned and went into the back room.
After rummaging around for a while, he found a few books on basic medical knowledge, and returned to the clinic to hand them to Xiaocui.
âXiaocui, these books cover some basic medical knowledge.
Take a look at them for now.
I have to step out for a bit, but when I get back, Iâll teach you some practical knowledge,â Chen Yang said.
âOkay, Brother Chen Yang.â
Xiaocui nodded, took the books, and began to flip through them.
Watching Xiaocui browse the books, Chen Yang thought of Nizi.
When Nizi used to help out at home, she would sit in the same spot and read books.
âSeveral months have passed in the blink of an eye; I wonder how Nizi is doing.
I should really take the time to visit her in the provincial city.â
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yang went back into the back room to wash up and prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Chen Yang greeted Xiaocui and then headed up the mountain with a plastic basket.
Chen Yang still remembered Yang Caiyunâs talk from the previous evening about wanting to catch some lobsters to try out a new dish.
Since he had nothing else planned for the day, he decided to make a special trip to deliver some lobsters to Yang Caiyun, so she could experiment and see if she could come up with any new dish ideas.
Chen Yang adeptly made his way up the mountain, and while catching lobsters, he also checked the caveâs environment.
He noticed that the number of lobsters had clearly decreased, but there were no other issues.
âIf Yang Caiyun decides she needs the lobsters, Iâll have to get more lobster fry to ensure daily supply.
The current supply canât keep up with the breeding,â he thought.
The lobsters in this pond were sustained primarily through their own reproduction, with only two batches of fry introduced by Chen Yang.
But with the recent increase in demand, the number of lobsters in the pond had begun to decline.
The quantity of lobsters was visibly lower than before.
Having caught the lobsters and checked everything, Chen Yang didnât think too much of it and headed back with the catch.
He then loaded them into his car and drove them to Yang Caiyun.
It was past ten oâclock when Chen Yang set out, and it was almost noon by the time he arrived at Yang Caiyunâs restaurant.
The restaurant was bustling at this time.
Working tirelessly, the restaurant owner Yang Caiyun was skillfully tapping on the calculator, busily crunching numbers.
Even as Chen Yang approached, she was so focused that she didnât notice him.
Finally, Chen Yang called out to her, and she looked up to see him standing outside the counter.
Seeing Chen Yang, Yang Caiyunâs face lit up with surprise.
âYang Zi!
What brings you here?â
Chen Yang chuckled, âI brought you some lobsters.
Didnât you say yesterday that you wanted to try out a couple of new dishes?â
âYou brought them so quickly!â The surprise on Yang Caiyunâs face grew even more.
âYeah, theyâre in the car.
Have a worker come and get them down,â Chen Yang said with a nod and a smile.
âOkay.â
With their relationship, thanks werenât necessary, so Yang Caiyun simply smiled and nodded, calling over a worker to move the lobsters from Chen Yangâs car.
The business in the store was doing very well, and it was incredibly busy.
But for the lobsters Chen Yang had brought, Yang Caiyun was especially attentive.
The waiter had just moved into the kitchen when she pulled Chen Yang along with her to check it out.
âCome on, join me in taking a look.
Letâs see whatâs so different about your lobsters.â
Yang Caiyun was all smiles.
Ever since the two of them had started that kind of relationship, their behaviors had become more intimate without them even realizing it.
Furthermore, Yang Caiyun seemed more spirited, always wearing a smile and exuding an indescribable charm.
It was probably what the old saying goes, âA timely rain after a long drought.â
Chen Yang was thus pulled into the kitchen by Yang Caiyun, where they joined a group of cooks huddled around a big half-basket of lobsters.
The restaurant business at Yang Caiyunâs place was booming, so there were many chefs.
Seven or eight burly men with scruffy beards.
âBoss lady, whatâs this new thing youâve brought in?
Is the restaurant introducing a new dish?â
After looking at the lobsters for a while, one of the cooks asked curiously.
Yang Caiyun nodded, âYes, weâre planning to try something new.
You guys keep busy, Iâll discuss it with you after the lunch rush is over.â
âAlright, sure.â
Upon hearing Yang Caiyunâs prompt, the cooks stopped gawking and returned to their stations, getting back to work.
Yang Caiyun then turned to look at Chen Yang.
âYang Zi, these lobsters of yours seem fairly normal at a glance, but I feel like thereâs something different about them.â
Yang Caiyun appeared puzzled.
After examining the lobsters, she felt they didnât look any different from othersâ, yet she couldnât shake the feeling that there was something unique, though she couldnât pinpoint what it was.
âHeh, the breed of my lobsters is just the ordinary kind,â Chen Yang said with a light smile, explaining, âTheyâre just a bit bigger than othersâ, cleaner, and more lively.â
At Chen Yangâs words, Yang Caiyun immediately nodded her head in agreement.
âExactly, thatâs it!
Your lobsters are so lively and clean.
The ones from others are all grimy, how come yours are so clean?â After nodding, Yang Caiyun asked, still puzzled.
âThese were raised with a special technique, theyâre not only clean but also taste much better than other lobsters.
Try cooking some for yourself today,â Chen Yang continued to explain.
âOkay, great, Iâll give it a try after the busy noon, and if thereâs no problem, youâll need to supply me for a long time,â Yang Caiyun said with a laugh.
âNo problem.â
Chen Yang promptly nodded his head in agreement.
He then left the kitchen with Yang Caiyun.
Since the restaurant was busy, Chen Yang didnât linger and indicated that he was leaving.
âLeaving now?
Itâs already midday, why not stay for a meal?
Qianqian is at home today, I could introduce you two; that way, itâll be more convenient for you when you come to visitâŚâ As Yang Caiyun got to the end of her sentence, her face turned unnaturally red.
When Chen Yang heard the word âvisit,â a wave of heat rushed through him, and that thought resurfaced.
However, he quickly suppressed the idea.
With the restaurant being so busy and so many eyes around, it definitely wouldnât be appropriate.
âMaybe some other time, I should pass on lunch; I have things to do when I get back.
Next time Iâll treat you and your daughter to a fancy meal outside,â Chen Yang declined with a smile.
When Yang Caiyun heard that Chen Yang was also busy, she didnât insist any further and saw him off to his car.
âDrive safely on your way back.â
âYeah, Iâm going now, sis.â
Chen Yang nodded, then started the engine and left the place, heading straight back to Liuhe Village.
Chen Yang had decided not to eat at Yang Caiyunâs because Xiao Cui was still at his home.
It was her first day over, and it wouldnât be right for Chen Yang not to prepare lunch for her, would it?
