You are my golden finger

Chapter 9 The initial display of medical skills

Lin Xijin learned from the contract that the boss's name was Shangguan Rui, and saw him coughing from time to time. He thought that this man would be one of his breadwinners in the future, and only if he got better could he make more money for himself.

So he said to Shangguan Rui generously: "Mr. Shangguan, you must be suffering from a cough, right? Meeting is fate. I know a little bit about medicine, can I take your pulse?"

When the shopkeeper heard that Lin Xijin knew medicine, he immediately became excited: "Miss Lin knows medicine? That's great! My son has always been in poor health and has not been cured after searching for famous doctors. Now he has returned to the ancestral home to recuperate."

Shangguan Rui was skeptical when he saw Lin Xijin was so confident despite her young age. But he thought it would be okay to feel her pulse, so he decided to treat the dead horse as a living one, and stretched out his hand for Lin Xijin to feel his pulse.

Lin Xijin carefully felt Shangguan Rui's pulse, first his left hand and then his right hand, and then said to Shangguan Rui: "You have a cough and a problem with your lungs. Every evening around twilight hour you have a low-grade fever, you are usually tired and weak, have difficulty breathing, and often cough with phlegm and blood in the phlegm."

Shangguan Rui looked at Lin Xijin with surprise and said, "Miss Lin, I didn't expect that you are so skilled in medicine at such a young age. What you said is completely correct."

Lin Xijin said: "Your disease is from your mother's womb, and you are carrying poison in your womb. I will prescribe three doses of medicine for you. Take them for three days and see how you feel. I will also prescribe some herbal baths to help you detoxify. I will go back tonight and prepare some ointment for you. Drinking a little at ordinary times can relieve your cough.

Shangguan Rui may have guessed it in his mind, so he was not surprised to hear Lin Xijin's words. He stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you Miss Lin, Shangguan Rui will definitely reward you handsomely!"

After prescribing the medicine, Shangguan Rui handed the prescription to the servant and told him to pick it up. Lin Xijin wrote down the recipes for braised pork, roasted pork chops and lamb chops, clear and nourishing lamb, and braised meat, and everyone decided on the price of the dishes together.

Lin Xijin left the seasonings, and the group left the backyard and headed for the restaurant lobby.

It was almost noon, and the lobby should have been crowded with people at meal time, but there were only three or four regular customers, making it particularly deserted.

Lin Xijin frowned and said to the shopkeeper, "Does the kitchen have any marinated ingredients? If so, bring them to the charcoal grill in front of the hotel."

The shopkeeper and Shangguan Rui didn't understand what Lin Xirui was going to do, but they still prepared things according to Lin Xijin's requirements.

Soon everything was ready. Lin Xijin set up the oven and asked the waiter to skewer the various ingredients. Then he started grilling them at the door, brushing them with oil and seasonings while grilling. Soon the aroma wafted around, attracting passers-by to stop.

He took out a bag of braised meat from the backpack and asked the chef beside him to cut it and put it on a plate, and also prepared some bamboo skewers.

Lin Xijin said to the waiter, "Young man, now it's your turn to show your skills. If you do well, the shopkeeper will reward you later."

The shopkeeper twitched his lips when he heard her words. You are giving me money to reward me? But he did not object.

Soon, everyone heard the waiter's enthusiastic voice: "Dear guests, don't miss it if you pass by! Delicious Zhai has launched new dishes, free tasting! Free tasting!"

When pedestrians heard that there was a free sample, they all rushed over. The chef and Uncle Jianan next to them helped to skewer the braised meat and distribute the barbecued meat to the diners. After eating the braised meat and barbecued meat, everyone was still not satisfied and asked when the sale would start.

Lin Xijin called the shopkeeper over and told him that new dishes would be served starting tomorrow. Customers could place orders in advance, and would enjoy a 20% discount in the first three days.

After the shopkeeper and the diners said this, a group of people rushed into the lobby to order food.

Shangguan Rui went back to the backyard to rest because he was not feeling well.

After a while, all the prepared ingredients were used up and the diners left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

The shopkeeper invited Lin Xijin and Lin Jianan to have lunch, and the two of them did not hesitate to sit down and eat together.

The shopkeeper said happily, "All the seats for the three days have been reserved, and there are still some people who can't get a seat."

Lin Xijin gave him an idea. After three days, he could let diners adopt a quota discount system. They could get a discount if they spent a certain amount, and the more they spent, the higher the discount.

The shopkeeper listened to her idea, gave her a thumbs up, and took out copper coins on the spot, giving ten copper coins to everyone who participated in the barbecue today.

Lin Xijin told the shopkeeper to send someone to get the ointment for Shangguan Rui early tomorrow morning, and then she went back home with Uncle Jianan.

When they got home, Jiajia ran over and hugged Lin Xijin's legs. Xihui, who seemed a little older, also ran over and took the backpack. The three of them were naturally affectionate.

Grandma Qi stood at the gate with a smile on her face, looking at this warm scene.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun fills the sky, and the sky is gently dyed with a layer of golden halo.

Uncle Mu Xiong also came down from the roof and said to her, "Jin'er, the two main rooms have been repaired. It will take another half day tomorrow to finish repairing the kitchen."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Muxiong."

Lin Xijin took her younger brothers and sisters to clean the house, while Aunt Qi went to cook, and they were all busy.

Before going to bed, Lin Xijin used spiritual spring water to make Sichuan Fritillary and Snow Pear Paste for Shangguan Rui, and put it in a ceramic jar, thus completing a day's work.
