My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 346 Uncle Qi and his wife

Aunt Qi looked at the stones in her basket and said with heartache, "Husband, Yaoyao has been divorced. It seems she's not doing well. I saw stones in her basket. What can those stones do? This child must be starving. I'll have Ting-ge send her a pheasant later."

Uncle Qi agreed, "Okay! Anyway, I caught a lot of pheasants in the mountains before the snow. Pick a big one for her and send it over. This child has had a hard life."

Aunt Qi brought him a bowl of hot water. "I'll have Ting-ge take it to her in a bit! Wang Hechuan and his family are really scum!"

The couple were both indignant on Lu Yaoyao's behalf, and Lu Yaoyao had already returned home.

Looking at the stones in the basket, Su Zui picked one up and examined it. "You came up the mountain just to collect stones?"

Are stones still medicinal materials?
If he had known earlier that she was going up the mountain to collect stones, he would have just sent Qiufeng instead. Look how cold Yaoyao is.

Su Zui took her hand and warmed it in his arms. "Your hands are so cold. If you need anything in the future, just tell Qiufeng to do it. Don't tire yourself out."

Lu Yaoyao glared at him and pulled her hand out of his arms. "I'm not that pretentious! This isn't an ordinary stone; it's a Stone Heart Stone, a spiritual medicine!"

Qiu Feng picked up the stone and examined it from all angles. No matter how he looked at it, it was just a stone. "Madam, isn't this just an ordinary stone? How did it become a miraculous medicine?"

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything special about the stone.

It's a stone with different red patterns on it.

Lu Yaoyao didn't keep him in suspense any longer, and handed a hammer to Qiufeng, saying, "Smash this rock."

Qiu Feng, not understanding why, took a hammer and started hitting the stone. After a few hits, a crack appeared in the stone.

Autumn Wind picked up the stone and broke it open. "What's this?"

There was actually a stone egg inside the rock. This stone egg looked quite nice, with some blood-red patterns.

Lu Yaoyao took the stone heart. "This is the real elixir! This is a stone heart. It takes hundreds of thousands of years to form such a stone heart. Those people who want to fully recover and detoxify must use this stone heart as a medicinal guide."

“You said those people’s poison is incurable, and that ghost doctor is right! This stone heart is not something an ordinary person can find.”

As far as she knew, her father had been searching for this kind of thing when he was still alive, though she didn't know why.

Now that her father has passed away, she has found what she was looking for.

"I've never heard of this before." Su Zui held the stone heart and fell into deep thought.

Regardless of what he was thinking, Lu Yaoyao and Qiu Feng each took a hammer and started hitting the stone.

When the stone is broken, the core is revealed, and there are all sorts of things inside.

Once the stone core is knocked out, it must be ground into powder before it can be used.

Lu Yaoyao took a porcelain bowl, picked up the stone and crushed it with her bare hands. The stone's core turned into blood-red powder and fell into the bowl.

Qiu Feng stared in disbelief.

He tried to crush the stone, just like Lu Yaoyao, but he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried.

Su Zui also tried, but he couldn't crush the stone either.

"How did you do that?" Su Zui was very surprised.

His kung fu was already considered unmatched, yet now he's no match for a woman.

It can't even be crushed by pinching a stone.

"With your skills, it's a miracle you could crush a stone heart."

This stone core is exceptionally hard; even someone skilled in martial arts might not be able to crush it.

Other healers used the stone heart to make pills, or at most scraped off small amounts of powder with a knife made of meteorite to add to the medicine, because the stone heart was too hard.

The pills she made were different; they used a lot of stone heart powder, so they could only be crushed and used this way.

She had only unlocked one level of the Five Elements Technique, but that was still higher than their skills.

Crushing a rock is nothing!
Su Zui blushed slightly; had his wife underestimated him?

Lu Yaoyao smiled at him. Was he already discouraged?

Today, Su Zui was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, which made his figure appear even taller and more agile. Under the lamplight, his face was gentle, and his eyes were stunningly beautiful.

Especially when he looked at her, his eyes were filled with a tenderness and doting affection that could drown a person. Lu Yaoyao withdrew her gaze and continued to crush the stone heart.

Ever since he turned back into a normal man, why is the way he's looking at her getting more and more blatant?

"Sister Yaoyao, are you home?" Brother Ting knocked on the door, holding a pheasant in his hand.

He went to the village chief's house to play today, and when he got home, he heard his mother say that Sister Yaoyao had saved his father.

He was very grateful to Lu Yaoyao.

His mother told him to come to Yaoyao's house to get the medicine his father needed, and to give Yaoyao a pheasant as a gift.

He didn't actually dislike Lu Yaoyao, but as a man, it wasn't convenient for him to talk to women too much.

That is, saying a few words when delivering things to Sister Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao knew it was Brother Ting who had arrived. She took three packets of medicine from the pharmacy and went to the door. "Brother Ting is here? This is the medicine your father needs! One dose lasts for three days. After he finishes it, your father's leg will be better."

Ting handed her the pheasant in his hand, "Sister Yaoyao, this is a pheasant my mother asked me to bring. You should take good care of yourself. How much is this medicine? I brought the money with me."

The mother said that she couldn't take Yaoyao's medicine for free; she had to pay for it.

Lu Yaoyao laughed and ruffled Ting Ge's hair. "No money needed! Consider this pheasant payment for the medicine! It's cold, hurry up and take the medicine home!"

"Take this and keep it at home. It'll keep you warm without needing to light a charcoal fire."

"This is ointment. Look at all these chilblains on your hands! Don't be stingy with it. Come back for more when you run out!"

Lu Yaoyao gave him a fire crystal and a bottle of ointment. The child's hands and face were covered in frostbite, and if this continued, his face and hands would rot.

A perfectly healthy child becomes unattractive with a damaged face.

Ting Ge took the things in his hands and instantly felt warmer. "Thank you, Sister Yao Yao! I'm off now!"

Lu Yaoyao smiled and closed the door before going to the kitchen.

Now that there are several grown men living in the house, I have to cook more.

Qiufeng and Suzui both came to help with the cooking, and the meal was very plentiful.

Those people who were unconscious could only eat liquid food, so she made some special liquid food for the patients, and Qiufeng was responsible for feeding them.

After finishing their meal, Qiu Feng cleared the table, and Su Zui followed Lu Yaoyao to the pharmacy.

This was Su Zui's first time visiting her pharmacy, and she couldn't help but gasp when she saw the precious medicinal herbs inside.

What good things hasn't he seen?
He could take whatever good things were in the palace at any time, but he had never seen so many precious medicinal herbs.

Su Zui didn't ask any more questions and silently helped her pack the medicinal herbs.

"Su Xiaozui, once those people are healed, you can leave," Lu Yaoyao said while processing the medicinal herbs.

Su Zui was slightly taken aback for a moment, "You don't want me anymore?"

That's right. No matter how he tried to seduce her these past few days, Yao Yao just wouldn't take the bait.

No!

He won't give up!
Lu Yaoyao glanced at him. "I've never thought about getting married again. You don't need to waste your time on me. You have a lot of things to do. How will you manage if you're always here?"

His position meant he was destined for a life of leisure; could he just stay here doing nothing?
Su Zui also thought of the case he was currently handling, the one that had almost cost him his life.

Fortunately, this case led him to meet Yao Yao.

That incident has already alerted the enemy, and it's not suitable to take action again for a while.

Now all he wants to do is win Yao Yao's heart.

“My business isn’t in a hurry! The mountains are blocked by heavy snow now, and I can’t go back. I’ll go back after the New Year! As for those people, let them jump around for a few days.”

Su Zui doesn't want to leave now. Dealing with those people is nothing compared to pursuing his wife.
Leng Qingmu wishes everyone a Happy New Year!
