Chapter 846: 846
The place where they went to eat was the small restaurant at the foot of the mountain .

“Where have they gone to?” Wang Yao asked .
“They have gone to deal with the matter that Sir told them to,” Zhong Liuchuan said in a roundabout and discreet way .
Wang Yao nodded .
The dishes were served quickly because there were not many people dining . There were only three tables, including them . Wang Yao and the manager were acquaintances . The manager came out to greet them, but his expression did not look good .
“What’s the matter, Manager Li?” Wang Yao asked .
“Don’t even mention it . Business has been very poor in recent months . Fortunately, it is in my yard . Otherwise, I would have had great losses . ” He lit a cigarette and sighed .
“Is that so? As far as I know, it should be a good time to visit the hot springs,” Wang Yao replied .
The restaurant was not far from Li Jia Gou’s hot spring . Although there were catering and accommodation services at the resort, this restaurant’s food was substantial, fresh, and quite well-known . Wang Yao recalled that he even had to queue to eat there during the holidays .
“Has another problem arose?” he asked .
“Yes, one more person died at the hot spring resort this month,” Manager Li said .
“Another one died?” Wang Yao was very surprised .
In less than a year, four people had died in the village where the hot spring was located . Although it was normal for deaths to occur in the village in general, most of the casualties were the elderly . The people who had died in the village were children and young men, which was quite unusual .
“Do you know how they died?”
“I think they drowned . ”
“They drowned? Can a person drown by soaking in a hot spring?” Pan Jun was very surprised . “That’s too unlucky, isn’t it?”
“Well, there are all sorts of theories,” Manager Li said . “One thing is for sure, they died in the hot spring pool . Think about it, deaths occurring in places where people soak in pools is unlucky . Nobody would dare go if they knew about it!”
“Yes . ”

People traveled to soak in hot springs to relax and unwind . They did not want to be spooked and die while soaking . It was the same as if someone were to die in a house . It made it difficult to sell the house and was unlucky .
At least, that was what the Chinese believed .
“Tsk, if this business can’t survive, I’ll consider changing my career,” Manager Li said .
“Don’t do that,” Wang Yao said . “Wherever shall I eat in the future?”
He knew Manager Li’s words were mostly due to a short-lived rage and were just a passing remark . The restaurant would likely keep operating .
“Hey, Manager Li, let me give you a suggestion,” Pan Jun said as he took a sip of tea .
“As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush,” he said “There are many rich people in this city now . Aside from preferring to go to famous hotels and restaurants, they also like to explore distinctive restaurants like this . I think your yard has to be redecorated, and you should get some flowers and plants . The key is to come up with some distinctive signature dishes . I have come to eat here several times and know that the fish and chicken here are really well done, and your ingredients are fresh . I think you could study those two dishes and make them signature dishes . ”
“Wait a moment, I’ll go and take notes,” Manager Li hurriedly said .
“You don’t have to do that,” Pan Jun replied .
“No, no, I have to write it down . When you get old, your brain does not work very well . ” He rushed out and came back with a notebook and pen .
“Well, I am bothering you while you eat, so I’ll treat you guys today,” Manager Li said .
“How can we let you do that?”
“It’s settled,” Manager Li said as he carefully wrote down Pan Jun’s suggestions . Pan Jun’s work required him to entertain clients, so he had gone to many restaurants and had varied experiences . Manager Li knew about these things himself . It was just a case of the person in the situation being confused while the spectator saw things more clearly .
“What do you think of my suggestions?” Pan Jun asked .
“Very good . How about this, every time you come here for a meal, I will give you a 70% discount,” Manager Li said .
“And my Master, and my, er, Junior as well?” Pan Jun asked .
Zhong Liuchuan silently nodded . Although the two of them had learned different things from Wang Yao, it was not wrong for Pan Jun to address him as his Junior .

“No problem, 70% off for all,” Boss Li said with a wave of his hand . “OK, I shall not disturb your dinner . I’ll go now . ”
“Alright, you go and be busy . ”
Soon after the dishes were all served, the manager gave them two other dishes besides the ones they had ordered .
“Mmm, the taste of the dishes is very good . Is it all-natural?”
“Most of what we’ve been given is,” Wang Yao replied .
“It’s hard to say for the others . ”
“Huh?”
“It’s easy to say if there are not many people dining here, but where would he get so many organic and pollution-free ingredients for long periods? It’s already good if he could guarantee most of it . As far as I know, he is planning to build two vegetable greenhouses on the back of the mountain to serve this restaurant . ”
“Isn’t that a long-term plan?”
“Yes, in fact, out of the several villages around here, only this restaurant is good,” Wang Yao said . “It is a clean and healthy one, and the dishes taste good . If someone in this village wants to treat a guest, the first place they think about is here . ”
“Do you think he still wants to change his career?”
“It’s just a passing remark . ”
“Come, drink and eat . ”
After eating, the three men returned to the village .
“Are you free tomorrow?” Wang Yao asked .
“Tomorrow, what will we be doing?”
“I’ll treat you to soak in a hot spring,” Wang Yao said .

“Huh?” Pan Jun and Zhong Liuchuan were stunned .
“Wait a minute, Manager Li just said that people had died in the hot spring resort . What are we going there for?”
“To have a look,” Wang Yao said .
“Forget it, I’ll go myself . ”
“I’m free tomorrow, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“I’m going to change my class tomorrow,” Pan Jun said . “Can we go this afternoon?”
“I have a patient arriving this afternoon,” Wang Yao replied .
“Ah . ”
Soon after they returned to the clinic, a patient arrived . It was an old man with leg pain .
“I’ll leave it to you,” Wang Yao said to Pan Jun .
“No problem . ”
Tuina Massage was the only skill Pan Jun had mastered .
The final result was good . The old man’s expression looked as if he enjoyed it a lot . When he arrived, he was walking with a little limp . When he left, the limp was no longer visible .
“I haven’t come for a few days, so I’m getting rusty,” Pan Jun said .
The second patient was a woman in her 40s who felt sick to her stomach . It was as if there was something inside her .
“Have you eaten anything recently?” Wang Yao asked after he took her pulse .
“Yes, quite a lot of food,” the woman replied .
“Tell me, what did you eat?”
After thinking about it, the woman began to describe what she had eaten for the past few days . “Well, mantou, rice, apple, banana…”
“Just the past three days will do,” Wang Yao said .
“Oh, alright . ”
“Hawthorn and persimmon . ”
“Wait, hawthorn and persimmon? What kind of persimmon?” Wang Yao asked .
“The kind from trees, not the tomatoes,” the woman said .
“I see . There is food residue in your stomach . It’s usually called gastric bezoars . ”
“What should I do?”
“It is easy to treat . Go back and have some soda . Just drink more and you’ll be fine . ”
“Oh, is it that simple?” The woman was stunned .
“Yes, also, when eating, you should pay attention to what you’re eating . Some things can’t be mixed, so hawthorn and persimmon can’t be eaten together . ”
“Ah, yes, I’ve taken note of it . ”
The woman had arrived in a tense mood . When she left, she was in a relaxed mood .
The third patient was a little girl . She was very beautiful . She had a hard growth on her ankle .
“How long has it been like this?” Wang Yao asked .
“Well, it has been two months,” the girl’s father said . “In the beginning, it was tiny . We didn’t take much notice of it . When it started to grow bigger, we became worried . We went to the county hospital and took two kinds of medicines to smear on it . We used it for two weeks, but the effect was not very good . ”
