Chapter 323: Satisfied!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since she became Immortal Crane’s disciple, Ji Zhao had also understood some medicinal theories.

At the very least, she had learned how to read pulses.

Last night, after Xiao Jiu drank so much pork rib soup, Ji Zhao was also worried that his stomach would feel uncomfortable, so she specially took his pulse. After all, if an ordinary person drank so much soup, they would definitely hurt their stomach.

But Xiao Jiu did not.

“That’s strange!” Immortal Crane thought for a moment and pinched Xiao Jiu’s wrist again, taking his pulse again.

However, this time, his pulse was a little unusual.

“Master, is Xiao Jiu alright?” Ji Zhao looked at Immortal Crane’s increasingly strange expression and her heart sank.

…..

Speaking of which, it was strange. She clearly met Xiao Jiu yesterday, but she felt that this child was a little familiar.

Moreover, in her subconscious mind, she did not want anything to happen to Xiao Jiu.

“This pulse is a little strange compared to before,” Immortal Crane said frankly. “When I was taking his pulse just now, his pulse was stable, but now it’s beating abnormally frequently. More importantly, I’ve diagnosed two completely different pulses in his body.”

“Two pulses?” Ji Zhao was also extremely surprised.

Normally, everyone only had one pulse, because everyone only had one heartbeat!

In Chinese medicine, the four diagnostic methods were inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation. Palpation was the last and also the most reliable step. After all, only by taking the patient’s pulse could they diagnose the patient’s condition.

“Master, is Xiao Jiu sick?” Ji Zhao asked with a frown.

“It’s not an illness.” Immortal Crane thought for a moment and opened the needle bag he carried with him. Then, he picked up a silver needle the length of a pinky finger and inserted it into the middle of Xiao Jiu’s index finger.

Hiss—

Xiao Jiu, who had been silent, suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

He was really in pain!

After all, ten fingers were connected to the heart. Once one’s fingers were injured, the pain was still very strong.

“Ah Tao, come over and take a look.” Immortal Crane quickly pulled out the silver needle and waved at Ji Zhao. “Take a closer look. What’s different about the blood bead on his hand?”

Ji Zhao stared at it for a long time before finally shaking her head.

“Nothing has changed?”

“Stupid disciple!” Immortal Immortal Crane gave her a smack, and his tone suddenly became stern. “Look carefully!”

Ji Zhao silently raised her hand and rubbed her head. Then, she looked at it seriously.

After a while, her eyes widened in surprise. “The color of this blood bead seems a little too bright?”

Generally speaking, the blood of ordinary people was dark red. This was because the human body contained traces of iron. However, the blood on Xiao Jiu’s hand was unusually bright red.

“This child’s blood is extraordinary,” the Immortal Crane analyzed calmly. “If I’m not wrong, he has absorbed a lot of precious medicinal herbs since he was in his mother’s womb. Also, the complicated pulse in his body is probably related to this.”

“Then is there a way to treat him?” Ji Zhao asked with some concern. “Xiao Jiu is still so young. If we let the two pulses in his body develop, it will definitely harm him, right?”

“Yes.” Immortal Crane nodded. “It will affect his lifespan.”

“Master, you must help him,” Ji Zhao pleaded.

“Ever since I started my medical career, I’ve seen many difficult illnesses. It’s rare to see someone like him.” Immortal Crane thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. “My good disciple, don’t worry too much. No matter what illness it is, as long as we can find the corresponding antidote, we will definitely solve the problem!”

“Then I’ll thank Master on behalf of Xiao Jiu first.” Ji Zhao was extremely grateful.

September 8th, the day of the Spring Breeze Pavilion’s opening.

Qin Minghong invited another lion dance team. Amidst the lively firecrackers, two lions were dancing. The lively atmosphere attracted many commoners.

In the kitchen of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Zhao Lanhua looked at Ji Zhao, who was slowly kneading dough, and felt at a loss. “Ah Tao, did Mother hear wrongly? Did you say that there’s no opening today?”

Zhao Lanhua suspected that she was hallucinating. If this restaurant did not open for guests, where would the income come from?

“Mother, we’re really not opening today.” Ji Zhao explained with a smile, “I’ll have to trouble you to help deliver these buns as gifts later.”

“Gift?” Zhao Lanhua was even more surprised. “These are all real mutton buns. If they were sold outside, they would have cost at least eight copper coins each!”

After all, ordinary vegetarian buns were already sold for three copper coins in the prefecture capital. These buns with mutton would definitely be more expensive, right? Moreover, mutton was not cheap!

“Mother, actually, these are all small profits,” Ji Zhao explained with a smile. “Just wait and see. Our Spring Breeze Pavilion’s business will get better and better in the future.”

Giving away mutton buns was nothing. When Spring Breeze Pavilion became completely profitable in the future, she would definitely launch some lucky draw activities. She might even give money as prizes!

However, Ji Zhao decided not to tell Zhao Lanhua about these plans for the time being.

After all, ordinary people could not understand her thoughts.

The Spring Breeze Pavilion was a restaurant. The commoners who were watching the lion dance outside knew about it.

But what kind of restaurant was it? No one knew, because Spring Breeze Pavilion had no intention of welcoming customers on the first day of opening!

Of course, Ji Zhao’s actions were truly unfathomable.

Some people were curious, while others felt that she was deliberately mystifying things.

There were all kinds of things being said-

However, not only did Ji Zhao not care at all, she even specially prepared 99 large mutton buns!

First come, first served, everyone could only try one!

These were free buns, and they were mutton buns!

Based on the principle that it was a waste not to take advantage of others, everyone went to queue up!

Everyone who ate this mutton bun had the same expression. It was—

Happiness!

“I’m really about to cry. How can there be such delicious mutton buns!”

“Yes, yes! It’s really too delicious. I almost swallowed my tongue just now!”

“Aren’t you guys exaggerating?”

Those in the crowd who didn’t manage to snatch the buns were about to die of jealousy!

“Speaking of which, the owner of this Spring Breeze Pavilion is still not magnanimous enough. There are so many people in our prefecture city, but she only gave out 99 buns. Isn’t she too petty?”

Qin Minghong, who was mixed in the crowd, was so angry that he laughed when he heard this.

“What’s wrong? Is it wrong for the owner to do some good deeds?”

“That’s right, that’s right. How can you say that?”

“That’s right! How can you say such things after eating someone else’s buns? Don’t you have any shame?”

Just as they were arguing outside, Ji Zhao, who was wearing an apron, walked out of the door and said to the people guarding outside with a smile, “Dear fellow villagers, the Spring Breeze Pavilion is opening today! We’re specially launching an opening customer welcoming event! I wonder if everyone is satisfied with the 99 buns given today?”

“Yes , yes !”

“I’m very satisfied. I’ve never eaten such delicious buns!”

“Is this lady the owner?”

“Everyone, at seven o’clock tomorrow morning, the Spring Breeze Pavilion will distribute 88 bowls of Big Bone Soup for free! First come, first served!”

Ji Zhao’s powerful words were like a thunderclap that shocked the citizens of the prefecture capital!
