Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Bone-Setting Sage

The park was still bustling with people, grandpas and grandmas fishing along the river also engaged in enthusiastic conversations there.

When they saw Chen Yu and Tong Ya running by, they all stood up and crowded around.

"Chen, I heard you set Old Wu's bone yesterday, is that true?"

"Take a look at me too! My back has been feeling off lately."

"I took a fall a while back, and my elbow has been hurting. Is there anything that can ease the pain?"

...

One question after another left Chen Yu somewhat bewildered, as he was after all not a professional doctor.

But these elderly folks were neighbors from the vicinity and regular customers at his shop.

It indeed seemed inappropriate to just turn them down.

With no other choice, Chen Yu could only pick out a rock to sit on.

From a biological perspective, every person's body has certain proportions.

Once there is an issue with the skeleton, those proportions can start to deviate.

Chen Yu had now mastered all the biological knowledge known to man, so just by glancing at them, he could tell where their skeletal problems were.

As the sound of bones being set continued to crack and pop, each grandpa and grandma treated by Chen Yu expressed feeling great relief.

There was even a grandpa whose chronic lumbar disc herniation was cured with just a push from Chen Yu.

In no time at all, more and more grandpas and grandmas gathered around Chen Yu, treating him like a professional bone-setting doctor.

Before long, Chen Yu had treated a round of local seniors.

Just then, a grandpa with an exceptionally pale and haggard face approached Chen Yu.

"Boss Chen, lately the doctor keeps saying that I'm too weak to benefit from tonics, and none of the many medicines I've taken seem to work. Can you take a look at me?"

Chen Yu was taken aback. He only had some biological and chemical knowledge.

Setting bones and handling simple cases of fever and the common cold was one thing, but for these more complex conditions, a professional doctor was needed.

Just as he was about to decline, Tong Ya suddenly checked the old man's pulse.

"Old man, your body is depleted. Moreover, there's too much congestion inside you, preventing normal circulation."

Her words instantly enlightened Chen Yu, his mind rapidly piecing together his biological and chemical knowledge.

"Old man, how about this: come to my shop tomorrow at three in the afternoon, I'll prepare a medicinal meal for you that should improve your condition."

The old man immediately became excited and started shaking Chen Yu's hand vigorously.

By this time, the sky was growing dark, and the seniors who had come to fish and exercise began to head home.

Chen Yu also jogged back to the shop at an even pace with Tong Ya.

After washing up, just as they lay down in bed, Tong Ya suddenly turned to face Chen Yu.

"I've noticed you seem to know how to do everything. You even know how to cook medicinal meals."

Chen Yu didn't directly respond but instead turned to the side and caught Tong Ya's chin.

"The man you've set your eyes on is very capable!"

Suddenly being flirted with, Tong Ya's face instantly turned red.

She felt that keeping up with a conversation with Chen Yu was becoming somewhat difficult.

In the past, she could occasionally tease Chen Yu, but now she felt utterly outsmarted in every way by him.

"Of course, I have very good taste."

No sooner had Tong Ya spoken these words than she felt they fell flat, as if she couldn't showcase her intelligence at all in front of Chen Yu.

However, seeing Chen Yu's handsome face so close, she didn't overthink it and simply snuggled into his arms and drifted off to sleep.

At four in the morning, Chen Yu got out of bed quietly and headed to the kitchen.

Today, there were some new items added to the menu, and he had to make them himself for the first time.

Just as he was about to start, Wang Qingshan had already arrived at the shop.

In the last couple of days, Wang Qingshan had become fully capable of managing the braised foods section on his own.

Moreover, after observing for two days, Chen Yu found that Wang Qingshan's character was also excellent.

Not only was he diligent in his work and serious about learning, but he also ran the shop as if it were his own family's business.

Therefore, Chen Yu had already handed over the recipes and detailed methods of preparing the pig's head and knuckles to Wang Qingshan.

Now that there were new items on the menu, Chen Yu did not hesitate to start working on them together with Wang Qingshan.

Before long, fourteen young women arrived at the store, chatting and laughing.

As soon as they entered, they got into work mode because the raw materials for the fried cakes and vegetable pastries had just arrived yesterday, so today they still divided half of the staff to go upstairs to prepare the semi-finished products.

Chu Hong was already adept at making these types of arrangements.

Being the oldest and most cheerful among all the girls, she had become almost like a hall manager.

An hour later, fifty pressure cookers all started to hiss as steam burst forth.

The fragrance quickly filled the entire shop.

The delivery workers, upon entering the shop, were attracted by these scents.

They saw that Chen Yu's shop had introduced a new mixed offal item and marked it at thirty yuan per pound, which immediately excited them.

Usually, when delivering orders, they hardly had time to eat, and they generally resolved their meals at familiar restaurants.

The food at Chen Yu's was indeed delicious, but at fifty yuan per pound, the braised pork was still somewhat expensive for them.

Yet, the tempting aroma still made them unable to resist having a couple of ounces of braised dishes to go with a bowl of noodles.

However, there were some families who were indeed struggling, and they would just spend three yuan to buy a bowl of noodles.

After all, the noodles at Chen Yu's were generous in portion, cost-effective, and chewy.

As time went on, Chen Yu, in consideration for these delivery workers, would give a spoonful of braising broth for free to those who only bought noodles.

Now that the mixed offal was introduced, it meant they could spend fifteen yuan to buy half a pound of it, and then spend six yuan for two bowls of noodles.

That solved both of their daily meals.

In less than five minutes, orders for various mixed offal and noodles exceeded two hundred. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

All of them were made by these delivery workers.

Seeing this, Chen Yu even considered whether to take the opportunity to introduce some chicken and duck offal.

After all, in the braised food series, there were also ways to prepare these two kinds of offal.

These two kinds had lower costs, and their prices could be kept even lower, aimed specifically at delivery workers.

These delivery workers braved the elements and led tough lives.

After Chen Yu passed on the methods and details of preparing the new braised items to Wang Qingshan and Chu Hong, he went to sit on the side.

With their experience making pork braised dishes, they learned how to make these new items very quickly.

In cooperation with each other, they were extremely quick as well.

By eight in the morning, the shop was almost full, and they had even received orders from ten kilometers away.

Just then, a nanny van suddenly stopped at the front of the shop.

A tall woman wearing sunglasses hurried into the shop, flanked by several bodyguards.

She was very polite and found an empty table to sit down. After that, she had her bodyguards go and place the order.
