Surprised, Du Mengnan suddenly noticed that the grapes on the grapevine were much sparser. "Are you selling these grapes?" When she said this, her tone carried a hint of resentment. After all, when the grapes were ripe, she had also wanted to buy them, but Zhao Xinyu had refused, saying that the grapes would not be sold.

She had been away for about half a month, and the grapes had decreased by almost half. Zhao Xinyu and his people couldn't have eaten so many grapes.

"How could I? If I sold the grapes, wouldn't you tear this place apart? I'm making wine," Zhao Xinyu said.

Du Mengnan looked at him speechlessly. "You know how to make wine? Do you know the method of making wine?" Her words were full of disbelief.

Zhao Xinyu laughed. "You'll know in a while. By the way, you like bitter herbs, right? There are bitter herbs in the vegetable garden. You can pick as much as you want."

"What?" Du Mengnan looked at the nearby vegetable garden and saw fresh, dew-covered wild herbs.

Seeing the large patches of dandelions and bitter herbs in the garden, Du Mengnan became excited and forgot about Zhao Xinyu making wine.

After all, when Zhao Xinyu returned from his hometown last time, he brought back many wild herbs and black fungus, and each type made them linger and reminisce. Even now, they still remembered the taste of the wild herbs Zhao Xinyu had prepared for them.

Zhao Xinyu had also said he would try to plant them in the yard, but they had taken it as a joke, never expecting that he would actually grow the wild herbs.

At this time, there were no wild herbs available in the market, but the wild herbs in the garden had just grown. If they were taken to the hotel, they would definitely be a hit.

"Zhao Xinyu, find someone immediately to pick a hundred pounds for me."

Zhao Xinyu, of course, knew that Du Mengnan was definitely purchasing for Pengcheng Hotel. He had been wondering about the relationship between Du Mengnan and Pengcheng Hotel, as she always seemed to be thinking about the hotel.

Many times, Zhao Xinyu even wondered if Pengcheng Hotel was run by Du Mengnan's family. Otherwise, why would she be so enthusiastic? However, due to his habits, Zhao Xinyu, though curious, never asked.

In the following period, because of the wild herbs, the farm, the pickled vegetables, and Pengcheng Hotel had an additional delicious dish that people couldn't forget.

The taste of the vegetables grown in the courtyard was much better than that of similar vegetables, which made many competitors envious. They had thought the vegetables grown in the courtyard were a new variety, but after investigating, they found that only the courtyard could grow such delicious vegetables, and no other place could, which left them frustrated.

Eventually, people dug up many of Zhao Xinyu's past stories. He was a high-achieving student at a traditional Chinese medicine university and had received many offers from Chinese hospitals, but he had refused them all.

This made many people suddenly realize that the delicious vegetables grown in the courtyard might be related to traditional Chinese medicine. Subsequently, someone posted that in the glorious era of traditional Chinese medicine, the vegetables grown by traditional Chinese medicine families indeed tasted better than those grown by others.

At the same time, a traditional Chinese medicine shop confirmed that Zhao Xinyu had once bought a large amount of Chinese herbs from their shop.

This led many people to speculate that Zhao Xinyu's ability to grow such delicious vegetables was closely related to traditional Chinese medicine.

However, Zhao Xinyu did not respond to any of this, which made them even more convinced that he must have some ancient traditional Chinese medicine formula, and using this formula, the vegetables tasted as they did now.

What they didn't know was that Zhao Xinyu, who had been working hard for many years, rarely looked at his phone and had no interest in doing so.

While people were discussing online, Jiang Pengxin's leg finally regained the ability to feel cold and heat. When Jiang Pengxin shouted out "cold" and "hot," not only Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan, but also Zhao Xinyu felt happy for the family.

Seeing the family hugging and crying, Zhao Xinyu felt both happy and amazed. The method he used to treat Jiang Pengxin was from the *Jin Kui Jing Yao* (Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Chamber).

He had not been confident at first because the formula in the *Jin Kui Jing Yao* was very ordinary. The herbs used in the formula were not expensive, and each could be easily bought from any pharmacy.

Thinking of the *Jin Kui Jing Yao*, he suddenly remembered the formula that had restored him. His heart suddenly became excited. If every formula was this miraculous, the revival of traditional Chinese medicine would not be a problem.

"Xinyu, how can we thank you?" Jiang Fei, moved, looked at Zhao Xinyu with gratitude in his eyes.

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly. "Brother Jiang, this is a medical miracle. Don't talk about gratitude. When little Peng recovers, you can find a job again."

Jiang Fei shook his head and sighed. "For the past ten years, I have been diligent and have never made a mistake. After little Peng's accident, I asked the company for a loan, and they didn't refuse, but they fired me because I was late a few times. I've decided, from now on, I'll work for you. At least there's no backstabbing here, and I don't have to worry about someone putting me down."

Jiang Fei's words made Zhao Xinyu pause. In the past, he had learned that Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan were both graduates of prestigious universities and had worked for well-known companies in Pengcheng before Jiang Pengxin's accident.

Now, Jiang Fei said he wanted to work for him, which surprised Zhao Xinyu. What could he do? Pick vegetables, buy vegetables, or serve and wash dishes?

Seeing the change in Zhao Xinyu's expression, Jiang Fei smiled faintly. "Xinyu, I've thought this through. Although you only have a pickled vegetable business and a farm, your monthly income is no less than a small company. Moreover, Han Li and the others don't know how to manage finances, which is not good for your future development."

Zhao Xinyu immediately understood. He trusted Han Li and the others, but they didn't know the daily income. If something happened to Han Li and the others, it might not be feasible to replace them with others.

"Brother Jiang, you're right. You can help manage the finances. For now, you don't need to worry about other things. By the way, Sister Qu used to manage personnel, so all the matters can be entrusted to you both. Your salary will be the same as Han Li and the others for now."

Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan looked at each other and nodded. "Xinyu, how will little Peng be treated next?"

"Acupuncture to stimulate the meridians, allowing them to repair themselves. In a month, little Peng will be fully recovered."

"Uncle, I want to learn traditional Chinese medicine. The acupuncture you gave me sometimes felt hot and sometimes cold, which I had never experienced before."

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly. "Those are the techniques of 'burning mountain fire' and 'penetrating heart coolness.' Learning traditional Chinese medicine requires patience. I spent six years learning just these two techniques. Think carefully; I don't like half-hearted students."

"I'm willing. I want to save lives and help people like you in the future."

Zhao Xinyu looked at Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan. After spending time with them, he liked Jiang Pengxin, but he was still a child, and he needed to consider the parents' opinions.

"Xinyu, although little Peng is young, he has experienced the warmth and cold of the world over the past three years. I don't expect him to be successful, but if he can be as good a person as you, I will be content."

Zhao Xinyu nodded heavily. When he looked at Jiang Pengxin, his expression became serious. "Little Peng, since you want to learn traditional Chinese medicine, there is one condition: you must not neglect your studies. This will give you more choices in the future."

"Uncle, I understand."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled and patted Jiang Pengxin's head. "Come, let's go for the acupuncture."

"Wait, Xinyu."

Zhao Xinyu turned to the door and saw an elderly man in his eighties enter. The man was none other than Qu Qianfan's father-in-law, He Manzang.

"Grandpa He, what's the matter?"

"Every day for the past two days, people have been asking if they can fish in the Luo River. Just now, another group came. They are still by the river and asked me to come and ask. They said the fish in the Luo River taste good, and they will pay us 300 yuan for a day of fishing."
