"Lu Fan! Do you know who the Elder Brother Yan you mentioned is?" Shen Xinyi asked suddenly after Yan Menghan and the others got into the car and left.
"Elder Brother Yan... he's Elder Brother Yan! Who else could he be?" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Tch! If I'm not mistaken, he should be one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital, the young master of the Yan family!" Shen Xinyi said, her eyes sparkling.
"The Four Young Masters of the Capital? How do you know?" Lu Fan was taken aback. What era was this, with such nicknames?
"Hmph! In a certain social circle, everyone knows the reputation of the Four Young Masters of the Capital! It's just that not many people can actually get in touch with them! I only heard my family mention it, but judging by his demeanor, his surname, and his address, I guess even if he's not one of the Four Young Masters, he's related to the Yan family," Shen Xinyi added.
"I don't care if he's one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital. Since he's already my elder brother, I have to help him with his affairs," Lu Fan's eyes flickered. Two days later, he had agreed to accompany Yan Menghan to the capital to try and cure his father's poisoning.
Judging by Yan Menghan's way of doing things, this person really might be one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital that Shen Xinyi mentioned. He could easily help him sell jewelry worth two hundred million, drink century-old Pu-erh tea worth tens of millions, and casually accept his stones worth fifty million. Even the beautiful architectural designer Chu Xiangwei seemed to be very submissive and respectful to him, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
However, none of that was important. What was important was that he called him brother, and he called him Elder Brother Yan.
"Lu Fan! Let's go back to the private room!" Shen Xinyi suddenly pulled Lu Fan back to the small restaurant.
"Sister Xinyi! Didn't you eat enough just now?" Lu Fan asked, puzzled.
"Just follow me, don't ask so many questions!" Shen Xinyi said, holding Lu Fan's arm.
"Huh? Are you trying to... take advantage of me?" Lu Fan widened his eyes as if he was afraid of being taken advantage of, and hugged his chest with both hands.
"Pfft... You wish!" Shen Xinyi rolled her eyes beautifully and dragged Lu Fan back to the private room. Swish... She closed the door of the private room.
"Holy cow, why is the door closed?! Sister, am I supposed to take off my clothes next?" Lu Fan said with a grin.
"Stop your nonsense!" Shen Xinyi went over, picked up two handbags from where she had been sitting, and took out three pieces of clothing.
"Your shirt was dirty, so I threw it away! There aren't many good clothes in this small town, so I just bought you a few t-shirts. Try them on!" Shen Xinyi handed the clothes to Lu Fan.
"Sister Xinyi! Why did you buy so many? And they're Peacebird brand, they must be expensive!" Lu Fan said a bit sheepishly. It was the first time a girl had bought him clothes, and he felt a sudden warmth. He immediately put on one of them, and it fit quite well.
"And this... By the way, don't tell Ruoyan, just say you bought it yourself!" Shen Xinyi's pretty face blushed again, and she threw him another black bag.
Lu Fan took the bag and opened it, his eyes immediately lighting up. It turned out to be men's shorts, ten pairs of them. And swim trunks... they were all Peacebird brand... What was the meaning of this?
"Ahem..." Lu Fan coughed awkwardly, "Sister Xinyi! How much are they? I'll transfer the money to you!"
"No need for the money. Just don't be so casual next time we go fishing," Shen Xinyi said, blushing slightly but trying to act indifferent.
"Hehe! Hehe!" Lu Fan chuckled.
...
After a phone call with Liu Ruyan, informing her that everything here was handled, Lu Fan rode his bike to the county town. He had to arrange things here before going to the capital in two days.
As soon as Lu Fan left, Shen Xinyi called Liu Ruyan: "Ruyan! Guess who that Yan Menghan we met this morning was?"
"Isn't he Lu Fan's friend? What's wrong?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.
"I'm guessing he's one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital, the eldest young master of the Yan family!"
"Really? He's actually the Yan family's young master from the Four Young Masters of the Capital? We actually had the chance to meet one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital..."
"..."
"..."
The two girls immediately started gossiping.
County town, Yixiangge Hotel.
"Lu Fan! The Bai family's hotel in the provincial capital will be opening soon. It's scheduled to open next week. By then, our medicinal cuisine section might be too busy to cope! And your wild vegetables haven't been mass-produced yet, have they?" Bai Xuemei said worriedly.
"At that time, Lin Fang will take Xinxin and Yueyue to the provincial capital. We'll find someone else to help here. If we're really too busy, I can also lend a hand. The vegetables and wild vegetables shouldn't be a problem," Lu Fan nodded.
Lu Fan now knew that as long as there was enough spiritual liquid, medicinal cuisine, wild vegetables, and pine mushrooms were not a problem. Although the development of wild chickens and wild rabbits still needed some time. He had already discussed buying an automatic incubator with Liu Ruyan. After returning from the capital this time, he planned to expand his breeding range. Only by expanding the scale could he lead the villagers to prosperity. However, this also required a large amount of spiritual liquid!
It's just that, so far, apart from Liu Ruyan, no one else knew that the most indispensable auxiliary ingredient in all these things was the spiritual liquid water. Even Lin Fang didn't know it was spiritual liquid, she only thought it was something from Lu Fan's exclusive recipe, and he asked her to use a little bit when preparing medicinal cuisine. And since Lu Fan had instructed her not to tell anyone, she had kept her word and hadn't mentioned it to anyone.
Now that Liu Ruyan, Lin Fang, and Fan Xueer had Lu Fan's spiritual liquid water, if the Bai family's hotel opened, the demand for spiritual liquid water would be even greater, and more people would know about it. In this case, Lu Fan was indeed a little worried if the spiritual liquid could be supplied. Moreover, Lu Fan was even more uneasy about handing over the spiritual liquid to others.
What if he grew his own medicinal herbs... Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up. If he grew medicinal herbs with spiritual liquid, wouldn't he not have to hand over the spiritual liquid to others? Then he could find two old Chinese medicine practitioners who knew how to prepare medicinal herbs.
"Xiao Fan! What are you thinking about?" Bai Xuemei, seeing Lu Fan in thought, couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! It's nothing, I was thinking... perhaps we should grow our own medicinal herbs. Then we wouldn't need to buy them from pharmacies," Lu Fan said quickly.
"This is possible?" Bai Xuemei's eyes widened. It seemed that whatever this kid thought of, he wanted to do it, and was there anything he couldn't do?
"Anyway, I've told you, you just need to keep it in mind! Besides, medicinal herbs are not just one kind, and it's not something that can be grown in a short time, but the hotel is opening soon!" Bai Xuemei didn't take Lu Fan's words to heart. This was just a casual remark.
"Yes! Medicinal herbs are not just one kind?" Lu Fan nodded, it was indeed difficult to grow so many kinds of medicinal herbs. Suddenly, Lu Fan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he chuckled.
