Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1072: It’s Alright, They Can’t Be Arrogant! (2nd Update)

Just when the rickety mattress was about to collapse, Ye Haochuan finally surrendered, letting Xiao Haimei, who had long since thrown in the towel, resurrect from the ”death line.”

”How is it? Did you get the information?” Ye Haochuan teased, brushing the sweat-drenched hair off Xiao Haimei’s forehead.

”The barrel hasn’t worn out recently and the ammunition is still plentiful, so you’re being honest!” Xiao Haimei murmured weakly, her tiny teeth showing.

Oh boy, this domineering CEO, Xiao Haimei, has been turned into a pro by yours truly!

Ye Haochuan felt a bit awkward. They’ve checked the barrel and ammo, but can they find out how many people have maintained the barrel?

”I couldn’t seal the deal, yet you seem pretty happy about it?”

”Whether the deal went through or not doesn’t bother me; what matters to me is you!” Xiao Haimei smiled sweetly, feeling a deep sense of happiness from Ye Haochuan’s choices.

”However, the coming days might be a bit tough!”

”Tough or not, with us working together as a couple, what could be too hard for us?” Ye Haochuan said indifferently.

”I believe in you!” Xiao Haimei smiled, her lips pursed.

Ever since the Xiao Family’s incident last time, it was Ye Haochuan who helped the Xiao Family overcome the crisis and rise again. As long as he’s around, she feels unusually at ease.

The two embraced and slept until early the next morning when Ye Haochuan pulled Xiao Haimei up for a small meeting at home with Han Xue’er.

”We need to open the medicinal cuisine shop as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we wait for Su Manni’s shop to gain more fame, it’ll easily overshadow ours.”

”But their prices are cheaper, and they offer more variety. Even if we open, we can’t compete with them, right?” Han Xue’er said worriedly.

Ye Haochuan smiled calmly, ”Not necessarily, we still have a significant advantage that you’ve all forgotten.”

”What advantage?” Xiao Haimei and Han Xue’er asked in unison.

”Of course, it’s me!” Ye Haochuan smiled confidently, pointing to himself, ”I’m a Pill Master; I have an abundance of medicinal cuisine recipes. Plus, I can ensure our effects are better than theirs.”

”Their recipes came from Xuanmen too; isn’t it difficult to improve them?”

”Who said I wanted to improve the recipes?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, ”What I want to improve is the person making the medicinal cuisine!”

Xiao Haimei and Han Xue’er exchanged glances, full of doubts.

Ye Haochuan continued, ”From now on, I’ll personally make all the medicinal cuisines. Using my pill-making techniques to craft them, are we worried our dishes won’t surpass theirs?”

”That’s all well and good, but you can’t just do nothing else and make medicinal cuisine at home every day, right?” Xiao Haimei said dismissively.

Ye Haochuan shook his head, ”Of course, I won’t stay in the medicinal cuisine shop forever. It’s simply to get our reputation out there initially.

Later, I’ll let some low-level medicinal cultivators handle it, so even without my intervention, our cuisines can maintain a high level.”

Xiao Haimei thought more about it and found it feasible, saying joyfully, ”Exactly, Su Manni can get the recipes but may not find medicinal cultivators.”

Ye Haochuan shook his head, ”It’s not impossible for her to find medicinal cultivators, but finding ones at my level is very difficult!”

Su Manni backed by the Yang Family, ordinary cultivators might rush to curry favor with them. But the Yang Family isn’t a Medical Path clan, high-level cultivators mostly flock to serve higher-ups, and they wouldn’t provide them for Su Manni to open a small medicinal cuisine shop.

Ye Haochuan is determined this time, even if he does nothing else recently, he’ll establish the shop’s brand. Once he dims Su Manni’s momentum, whether through fighting or reconciliation, it’ll benefit Xiao Haimei.

Act fast, Xiao Haimei immediately gathered a team, preparing to open the next day.

The storefront was long prepared, but across the Xiao Family’s shop was a Su Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop.

When Xiao Haimei had barely bought this location, Su Manni immediately bought the shop opposite.

Then, Su Manni hired people to work around the clock, completing the renovation swiftly and opening three days earlier than the Xiao Family’s shop.

Though only a short three-day window, she seized the greatest advantage. Now, when the Xiao Family shop opens, many diners think they’re following a trend, seriously tarnishing its impressions.

Combined with the competitive edge in variety and price, it left Xiao Haimei extremely anxious, delaying the opening repeatedly.

Ye Haochuan spent the entire day in the kitchen, extracting essence liquid from various herbs. His precise control over cooking raised the cuisine’s effectiveness by at least double.

Moreover, Ye Haochuan spared no expense, adding Heavenly Fragrant Dragon Herb to enhance fragrance in every dish.

This herb not only enriches the aroma of ingredients but also nourishes the organs and expels impurities.

Though Heavenly Fragrant Dragon Herb is primary grade, it’s rare. Even for cultivators, it’s not easily obtained.

The ones in Ye Haochuan’s possession were sourced from the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm. It’s nearly ineffective to him now but is a treasure for ordinary people.

Using such precious materials for ordinary cuisine, Ye Haochuan really went all out this time.

A silent night passed, and at noon the next day, prime time for office workers seeking lunch, a series of firecrackers sounded, and the ”Chuanmei Medicinal Cuisine” shop officially opened.

”All handsome guys and beautiful ladies, today marks the opening of our Chuanmei Medicinal Cuisine Shop. Chuanmei Medicinal Cuisine sincerely invites everyone to taste, and today, all dishes in the shop are free...”

Han Xue’er’s sweet voice attracted numerous gazes, and the word ”free” held endless allure, making countless people eager to try.

Yet, just then, the Su Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop across the street set up a stand, and a seductive woman shouted, ”To thank all customers for their strong support in managing Su Family Medicinal Cuisine, our shop launches a gratitude event today. All diners enjoy free meals and receive valuable gifts...”

Upon hearing this, diners quickly realized it was a tug-of-war between two shops. But as diners, they cared little about the rivalry; they only knew where the most benefits were, and that’s where they’d go.

In no time, the crowd initially gathering at Chuanmei swiftly surged towards the Su Family shop.

Su Family didn’t bluff either; they brought out a large box with various prize coupons inside. Every entrant could at least get a gift worth dozens of yuan. The top prize reached nearly a thousand yuan.

Dining once without paying, and the chance to win a thousand-yuan prize — who wouldn’t want that?

”Damn, stealing business this plainly is too much!” Langfan, arranged by Ye Haochuan to maintain order, said angrily seeing this.

Ye Haochuan, however, smiled calmly, ”It’s alright, they won’t stay arrogant for long!”
