Little fairy doctor with holy hands

Gradually, there were more and more guests in the restaurant, and almost 80% of the tables in the restaurant were filled.

Opening a restaurant in a small town and having this kind of business is already pretty good.

The people who came here to eat were all locals, and the appearance of Zhang Yuan and the two women attracted a lot of attention.

Especially when Ma Daming served out the steaming ginseng steam pot chicken, the rich ginseng aroma instantly lifted the spirits of everyone present!

"This...this smell! Could it be the ginseng steam pot chicken that costs two thousand yuan a portion?" A middle-aged man with a beard couldn't help shouting.

As soon as his words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

In a remote place like Yuanshan Town, two thousand yuan is not a small amount of money!

Many people work hard and earn less than 2,000 a month! ??

But now, some people are willing to spend 2,000 yuan to order a ginseng steam pot chicken. This is simply unimaginable for locals who are used to poverty.

Ma Daming brought the ginseng steam pot chicken to Zhang Yuan's table, put it down, and then said to everyone with a smile.

"These three are distinguished guests from out of town. Isn't it normal for them to order a ginseng steam pot chicken worth two thousand? Don't make such a fuss here!"

Everyone nodded. Generally, only outsiders are willing to spend so much money to order the highest-grade ginseng steam pot chicken.

Ma Daming smiled and said hello to Zhang Yuan and the others, and prepared to go back to the kitchen.

At this time, Zhang Yuan stopped him and called him, "Boss Ma, do you have time to sit down and have a glass of wine and chat?"

Ma Daming was stunned, "But I still have to cook for everyone!"

"I think it's better to let the little girl named Xiaoli take your place in cooking for everyone for the time being. Her cooking skills seem to be much better than yours!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Just now, Ma Daming went out temporarily for something, and Xiaoli came into the kitchen to help him cook.

Wait for Xiaoli to finish it

When the dishes were brought out, both the color and aroma were much higher than those originally cooked by Ma Daming.

When Ma Daming came back, the dishes he cooked were the same as before.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan concluded that Xiaoli's cooking skills were probably much better than Ma Daming's.

Ma Daming is also good at the dish of ginseng steam pot chicken. In terms of home cooking, he is not as good as Xiaoli, let alone his twin brother who owns a restaurant in the city.

"Ahem, Xiaoli, please go into the kitchen and help me for a while. This distinguished guest has something to tell me." Ma Daming blushed and turned to Xiaoli.

Xiaoli didn't say anything, but when she turned around, she lip-synced to Ma Daming.

Zhang Yuan clearly saw the three words she said, "processing money!"

Afterwards, Ma Daming went back to the counter to get his tea cup and wine glass, and Zhang Yuan immediately poured him a glass of wine.

Zhang Yuan ordered the most expensive wine in the store, which is also the famous local specialty Snow Mountain Wine, costing more than 200 bottles.

Although this place is not comparable to Snow Mountain Baganzi, the name of this wine is Snow Mountain Wine.

And it tastes pretty good!

Ma Daming took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes happily, his face full of enjoyment.

"The Snow Mountain Wine is still delicious! It's just too expensive, so I wouldn't be willing to drink it!"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Boss Ma, your ginseng steam pot chicken is one of a kind. It's even more delicious than your brother's! If you open a restaurant outside, I believe the business won't be that bad."

Ma Daming smiled bitterly

"Dear guest, please stop teasing me! I know exactly how much I weigh! As you saw just now, my cooking skills are not even as good as Xiaoli's. I just rely on ginseng steam pot chicken!"

"If I were to open a restaurant in the city at my level, I would lose all my pants in a short time! I can also open a small restaurant in this small town to make a living!"

At this time, Chu Xueqi on the side couldn't help but ask

"Boss Ma, if that's the case, would you be interested in selling the secret recipe for ginseng steam pot chicken?"

"If you are willing, I am willing to give you this number! I guarantee that you will not have to worry about money for the rest of your life!" .??.

Chu Xueqi took out her mobile phone and wrote a series of numbers on it, then brought it to Ma Daming to show him.

When Ma Daming saw the series of zeros, his eyes immediately straightened.

Chu Xueqi actually quoted a full one million!

His breathing suddenly became much faster.

But he soon shook his head with a wry smile.

"The price you offered, distinguished guest, is indeed very attractive! I admit that I am tempted! But I still cannot sell the secret recipe. This is a rule passed down from my ancestors."

Chu Xueqi was a little disappointed, "We are outsiders, even if you sell the secret recipe to us, it won't affect you two brothers from opening a restaurant!"

Ma Daming still smiled bitterly

"When we two brothers got the secret recipe, we swore an oath in front of the ancestral tablet!"

"Whoever dares to sell the secret recipe will die in the old man's ditch! And the death will be extremely miserable! After death, the body will be eaten by wild beasts!"

After listening to Ma Daming's words, Zhang Yuan and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

Is this too harsh an oath?

Situ Shasha was a little curious, "Boss Ma, the name Lao Lao Gou is so strange! Where did this name come from?"

Ma Daming was silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly.

"Laoren's Valley, as the name suggests, is the ravine where the old man goes before he dies!"

"In the past, the economic conditions were not good, and people could not finish their meals. The elderly in the family became a burden when they got older. There was a local custom that old people who reached a certain age had to go to the old man's ditch!"

"When we got there, we basically declared the old man's death. I don't know how many old people died in Laoren Ditch! It is for this reason that this place is named Laoren Ditch!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan and the others fell silent.

Anyone who hears this kind of thing will feel very uncomfortable.

I didn’t expect that this bad habit existed in the local area before!

Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of what Ma Daming said just now.

He said that if he did not support a few lonely elderly people in the village, those elderly people would have to go to Laorenangou.

Now that I think about it, what Ma Daming said is indeed correct!

What else can a lonely old man with no one to support him do, except go to the old man's ditch and die?

Even if there is a meager old-age subsidy, who will buy food and cook for them?

Who will wash their clothes and dry their bedding?

It is indeed miserable for an old man who is alone and has no children around him!

But what's even worse are the poor old people in the area who clearly have children, but are forced to leave their homes and go to the old man's ditch to fend for themselves!

"I didn't expect that such a custom existed here before! The name Laorengou is so sad!" Situ Shasha was a little depressed.

Chu Xueqi nodded, "Fortunately, the standard of living is now better. There will no longer be old people who have to wait to die in the ditch because they have no food!"

Zhang Yuan said nothing, but he thought of the elderly people who were seriously ill.

It's okay if your family is rich, you can spend a lot of money to buy your life.

But for ordinary people who have no money at home, even if they go bankrupt, they may not be able to cure the elderly.
