Chapter 834 - 733: An Excellent Opportunity

Before Xia Anni could respond, her agent said with surprise, "That’s great! If Vice Director Ren could help us review, we’d feel more at ease. Actually, when we were getting treatment at the hospital earlier, the doctor suggested using Chinese medicine for supplementary treatment. But Anni can’t stand the smell of herbal medicine. She can’t even bear to smell it, let alone drink it, so we gave up on consulting with traditional Chinese medicine."

Liu Yiming, seeing Xia Anni agree to this matter, went to the balcony with his phone to make a call.

Soon, Liu Yiming contacted the vice president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Ren Yuchang.

Ren Yuchang was quite famous in Bei’an, having cured countless difficult and complicated cases, attracting many patients from other regions seeking his help.

In the field of Chinese medicine, he could be considered a real expert.

After Liu Yiming explained the situation, Ren Yuchang graciously said that he happened to have plans to dine with an old Chinese medicine doctor from the hospital, who was also his friend, tonight.

As the saying goes, timing beats speed.

Liu Yiming proposed the invitation, and Ren Yuchang not only agreed to come himself but also planned to bring his friend along.

Moreover, over the phone, Ren Yuchang specifically mentioned that his friend had a modest level of expertise in medicinal cuisine and would come along to assess the skill of the chef.

Liu Yiming was naturally thrilled.

He didn’t expect Ren Yuchang to be able to invite an expert in medicinal cuisine.

Though Liu Yiming himself wasn’t very knowledgeable about medicinal cuisine, just based on Ren Yuchang’s description, he knew this old Chinese medicine doctor was no ordinary person.

Feeling relieved, Liu Yiming quickly returned to the living room and said, "Anni, I’ve contacted Vice Director Ren. He said he’d be over soon, and he’s bringing a friend who’s also a doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, an expert with some research in medicinal cuisine."

Upon hearing this, Xia Anni and her agent both showed expressions of delight.

Xia Anni exclaimed happily, "That’s really great! We really don’t know much about medicinal cuisine, so having someone experienced around would definitely be reassuring."

The agent quickly added, "Oh, Yiming, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that we doubt Chef Fu’s skills in medicinal cuisine, but we really hope to improve health through it."

Liu Yiming smiled and said, "Of course not, I understand your point, and I get it. If not for hoping for Anni’s fast recovery, I wouldn’t be in such a rush to contact people to help."

Hearing this, the three couldn’t help but share a knowing smile.

Because of Liu Yiming’s strong assistance, there was undoubtedly a sense of gratitude, alongside the happiness.

After all, the invited were the vice president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and a very experienced old Chinese medicine doctor, genuinely professional level attendees.

Even if tonight’s medicinal cuisine didn’t turn out perfect, at least there would be Chinese medicine consultation available, and prescriptions for medicinal cuisine could be provided.

For them, it’s like a gift from heaven!

Xia Anni and her agent exchanged a glance, both inadvertently elevating their opinion of Liu Yiming.

It was truly unexpected that Liu Yiming had such capabilities and a broad network—quite remarkable!

Liu Yiming inwardly sighed in relief.

With Ren Yuchang coming, it wouldn’t matter how the medicinal cuisine turned out tonight since he had done his part.

Moreover, it might actually help Xia Anni with her treatment in some capacity.

Besides, if possible, forming a connection with the Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in medicinal cuisine through Ren Yuchang could be a tremendous asset for his future networking.

After all, he’s usually engaged with the entertainment and influencer industry.

Almost every actor and live streamer desires beauty and better health.

Medicinal cuisine and Chinese medicine are long-trusted approaches to this.

If he establishes this connection, he could extend his network by bridging contacts.

It’s a mutually beneficial opportunity!

Thinking of this, Liu Yiming felt slightly amazed by his own good fortune!

...

Once he thoroughly understood Xia Anni’s dietary preferences, Fu Yu started customizing the medicinal cuisine.

Liu Yiming didn’t intentionally keep the guest invitation a secret but rather proactively explained it to Yao Shi and Fu Yu.

He subtly mentioned the identities of the new guests during the conversation.

One can’t deny that Liu Yiming indeed deserves the title of the nation’s top-selling master, as his eloquence was truly impressive.

Clearly, it was due to concerns about Fu Yu’s skill in medicinal cuisine that prompted inviting additional expertise, but through his words, it turned into a friendly exchange and learning opportunity.

Yao Shi was well aware of the situation, but he cooperated with it on the surface.

After all, he was here for a door-to-door service, earning money, and getting to know more people, which was beneficial for him.

Especially since Ren Yuchang was actually coming.

Since being introduced to Ren Yuchang through Liu Shaoxian last time, Yao Shi hadn’t found the chance to contact him, and now the opportunity had sprung up.

As for Fu Yu, he had almost finalized the tasting menu for the medicinal cuisine banquet. Due to the increased number of diners, the original six dishes, one soup, and one main dish plan was now adjusted to eight dishes, one soup, and one main dish.

Considering the presence of additional guests, the tailored medicinal cuisine was designed with four dishes, one soup, and one main dish targeting specific conditions, while the other medicinal dishes were mainly nourishing with flavorsome, tasty recipes.
