Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

For several days in a row, Shen Wanru sent the same cakes. Shen Wanqing sat at the table, staring at the cakes with a gloomy face. Her doubts grew deeper and deeper, and her intuition told her that this cake was definitely not ordinary.

"Jing'er, go and ask the master to come over." She thought that instead of guessing here, it would be better to let the master come and see what was going on.

Jing'er responded and hurried out. A moment later, the old man was led into the room by Jing'er.

"Master, you are here. Please take a seat." Shen Wanqing brought another cup of hot tea to the old man.

"You called me here today just to invite me for tea?" The old man had a warm smile on his face and spoke in a gentle voice.

Seeing that the chef got straight to the point, she pointed to the plate of cakes that had just been brought to the table, frowned slightly and said, "Master, can you take a look at that cake? Is there anything wrong with it?"

The old man walked to the table, looked at the plate of pastries, carefully observed Shen Wanqing's expression, then picked up a piece of pastry and smelled it.

"Miss Shen, this pastry is indeed poisonous." The old man's tone became serious.

Shen Wanqing's heart tightened, "Master, what kind of poison is this?"

The old man frowned, his face serious. "This poison is quite peculiar. The person who poisoned it knew that Shen Wanru liked sweet things, so this poison is also sweet. This poison is called 'Honey Heart Poison'. The symptoms are not obvious at first, just making people feel weak and depressed. If taken for a long time, it will damage the internal organs and eventually endanger life."

Listening to her master's words, Shen Wanqing couldn't help but think of her own poor health in her previous life. Could it be that she had also been poisoned by a similar poison? She never imagined that Shen Wanru wanted her life in her previous life.

The old man looked at Shen Wanqing's thoughtful expression and asked, "Fourth girl, do you still remember the contents of the medical book I taught you before?"

Shen Wanqing came back to her senses and replied respectfully, "Master, I remember."

The master nodded and began to test her: "Then tell me, what herbs are needed to make the antidote for this 'Honey Heart Poison'?"

Shen Wanqing smiled confidently and said, "Master, the antidote to this poison requires precious medicinal herbs such as Tianshan Snow Lotus, Hundred-Year-Old Ganoderma Lucidum, and Polygonum Multiflorum, and it also needs to be prepared using a special method."

A glint of admiration flashed in the old man's eyes, and he then asked, "What if the poisoned person is already terminally ill? How should we treat him?"

Shen Wanqing thought for a moment and said confidently, "Master, if the poisoning is deep, in addition to the antidote, acupuncture is also needed to stimulate the acupuncture points and dredge the meridians, so that there is a glimmer of hope."

The old man smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Then tell me more about the distribution of the main acupuncture points and meridians in the human body."

Shen Wanqing answered the old man's questions fluently, and the old man became more and more satisfied as he listened.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort in your daily life." The old man stroked his beard with a smile in his eyes. It seems that he was right about the girl. This girl is a good material for studying medicine.

Shen Wanqing was not at all proud of the old man's praise. She was very grateful that the old man accepted her as his disciple and taught her medical skills: "Master, I will never forget your kindness in teaching me. I have been studying diligently and will not slack off in the slightest."

The old man nodded, and he had a favorable impression of Shen Wanqing's character again: "Then let me test your actual operation. Come here, let me see how your skills are."

Shen Wanqing walked up to the master and followed his instructions to demonstrate acupuncture techniques. Her movements were accurate but still a little unfamiliar. The old man watched carefully, nodding from time to time.

"Very good, your technique is correct, but you lack experience. If you have time in the future, come to the clinic and try it out." Although the old man recognized Shen Wanqing, he still reminded her, "However, the road to learning medicine is long, and you must not be proud and complacent."

Shen Wanqing nodded and replied, "Disciple understands."

The old man asked again: "What are your plans for the future?"

Shen Wanqing's eyes flashed with determination, and she said confidently: "Master, I will not only run the clinic well and treat illnesses and save lives, but also open a big restaurant."

As for opening a clinic, the old man thought that as long as he was there, he would naturally help his disciple. However, she also wanted to open a restaurant, and he was an outsider in that field, so he didn't understand how to run a business.

"Open a restaurant? Can you run it?"

"Master, I want to open a restaurant. Firstly, it's for a living, and secondly, I want to make more friends through the restaurant, learn more about diseases, and collect more prescriptions. Moreover, the restaurant has a lot of people coming and going, and it's well-informed. Maybe it can help my medical skills."

Shen Wanqing didn't say it because she wanted to restrain the prince. She didn't want the old man to be in danger.

The old man pondered for a moment and agreed with her idea: "Your idea is unique, but opening a restaurant is not an easy task. Are you prepared?"

She knew, of course, that opening a restaurant was no easy matter, but she was still very happy about her master's concern. "Master, I've already made some preliminary plans. I'll carefully select ingredients, hire excellent chefs, and create unique dishes. Furthermore, the restaurant's environment and service must be the best, making our guests feel comfortable and satisfied."

The old man nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's a good idea, but it will be very difficult to implement. You must be prepared to endure hardships."

"Master, don't worry. I'm not afraid. As long as I can achieve my goal, I can endure any hardship or fatigue."

Seeing Shen Wanqing's confidence, the old man said, "Okay, then I will wait and see your results."

Shen Wanqing had originally wanted to invite her master to dinner, but he said the clinic was crowded and he couldn't be away for too long. She had no choice but to ask Jing'er to take her master back to the clinic. When she opened her own restaurant, she would invite her master to dinner first.

Shen Wanqing knew that she still had a long way to go to achieve her goal, but she would not back down. She wanted to let those who had hurt her see that she, Shen Wanqing, was not someone to be bullied.

She knew that if she wanted to compete with the most famous Zuixianlou, she would have to be unique in her decoration, service, and most importantly, her dishes. However, she was a layman in the restaurant business. Just as she was having a headache, Jing'er handed her a picture album.

"Miss, the old man heard that you were going to open a restaurant, so he asked me to give this to you, saying that you would like it after you saw it."

Shen Wanqing looked at the album Jing'er handed to her. She took it suspiciously, but the moment she opened it, she was stunned by the letter.

"My God, her master is such a jack of all trades, he knows everything." Shen Wanqing murmured to herself. This was the decoration design her master had drawn for her. Although she had never seen such a weird decoration style, it looked really stylish.
