Da Zui Lao Li was very familiar with Tang Jie. Seeing Tang Jie's expression, he knew something was wrong and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Old Jin, we're all gourmands. Don't bother with formalities, just bring out your best dishes."
Old Jin Ba smiled and said, "Old Li, Mr. Tang, our Celestial Master Medicinal Cuisine's way of ordering is not just for show.
Because our dishes have very strong nourishing effects, ordering becomes even more crucial.
We need to adjust the menu based on the diner's physical condition..."
"Oh, tell me more." Tang Jie had never heard such a claim before and didn't mind watching how they would perform.
"For example, if you've been experiencing internal heat lately, with mouth sores and ulcers, you should avoid dishes that are too dry, hot, or overly nourishing when ordering...
Or, if you have a weak and cold spleen and stomach, you should try to avoid cold ingredients during the ordering process...
We've developed this software. As long as you input your symptoms, the software will automatically analyze them and recommend dishes that can improve your physical condition. Dafeng Novel Network
The software will also alert you to dishes that are not suitable for your body's condition."
"That's quite interesting," Tang Jie nodded.
"We spent over a million yuan to have this software created. Of course, the main ideas and diagnostic methods for developing this software were provided by Doctor Ling Tian."
Lao Li and Tang Jie looked at Ling Tian again. This time, their perceptions had shifted slightly.
Initially, they had thought Ling Tian might be Jin Lao Ba's nephew, brought out by Jin Lao Ba to gain some experience.
But it seemed that wasn't the case. When talking about Ling Tian, Jin Lao Ba's face was filled with respect, clearly indicating that things were different from what they had imagined.
So, they each took a tablet and ordered six dishes. Ling Tian and Jin Lao Ba also ordered a few dishes for themselves.
Before long, the waiter began serving the dishes. Even before tasting them, Tang Jie and Lao Li could sense the uniqueness of the cuisine.
Most medicinal cuisines, when smelled from afar, carried a strong medicinal aroma.
Some diners believed that a stronger medicinal smell meant better efficacy. However, to professionals like Tang Jie, such medicinal cuisines were fundamentally flawed.
Every dish served at Celestial Master Medicinal Cuisine emitted a fragrance that blended perfectly with the subtle scent of a particular medicinal ingredient.
The flavors of the ingredients and medicines were combined flawlessly, whetting the appetite and making one eager to feast.
Tang Jie and Da Zui Lao Li's assistants were also busy, setting up cameras to capture each dish and the two men.
The lazy susans on the table began to turn, and the two men started tasting the dishes in sequence.
Jin Lao Ba, standing by, continuously introduced the medicinal ingredients used in each dish and their respective nourishing effects.
After tasting a round of dishes, Tang Jie wiped his mouth and put down his chopsticks.
Lao Li smiled and asked, "Old Brother Tang, how was it? What do you think?"
"Good, very good. In terms of taste, this is the best medicinal cuisine I've ever had.
I've eaten at many medicinal cuisine restaurants in China, and only the dishes at the old establishment in the capital, Royal Medicinal Cuisine House, had acceptable taste.
I must say, your dishes are even more outstanding in flavor than those at Royal Medicinal Cuisine House!" Tang Jie said candidly.
Da Zui Lao Li also nodded.
"Great minds think alike. I have the same opinion.
I particularly liked the Licorice and Zi Shen. It was crisp and delicious. The combination of the two medicinal ingredients removed the pungent smell of the Zi Shen, giving a refreshing sensation..."
Seeing their reactions, Ling Tian and Jin Lao Ba exchanged a smile. They had already guessed that the two would be very satisfied with the dishes.
When they were developing the recipes, they had conducted numerous trials. The dosage of medicinal ingredients in their medicinal cuisines had undergone strict calculations and experiments to cater to the tastes of most diners.
In fact, both Tang Jie and Lao Li also had another sensation: after eating these dishes, they felt a warmth spreading from their stomachs, a gentle current that slowly moved through their gastrointestinal tract and out to their limbs and extremities. This feeling was incredibly comfortable.
After several rounds of drinks and tasting the dishes, the video recording was also completed. Both men began to look at Ling Tian with newfound respect.
This young man possessed an extraordinary demeanor, spoke with refinement, and had such medical skills, making him difficult to ignore or underestimate.
They even took the initiative to ask Ling Tian for his contact information.
The next morning, when Tang Jie woke up at the hotel, he felt incredibly comfortable all over.
He was actually quite particular about his sleeping arrangements. Whenever he traveled for business, his sleep was always poor.
However, this time, he slept exceptionally well, without even dreaming. Especially upon waking, all his fatigue had vanished, and he felt full of energy.
He immediately called Da Zui Lao Li.
"Old Li, I need to ask you something. After eating this medicinal cuisine last night, have you felt any changes in your body?"
"Old Tang, you felt it too? Ever since we finished dinner yesterday, I've felt exceptionally energetic.
My wife said last night that I seemed to have become 20 years younger!
Normally, after such a strenuous night, I would surely have sore muscles and a stiff back, and I wouldn't even be able to get out of bed.
But this morning, I woke up feeling invigorated, with no sense of fatigue at all..." Da Zui Lao Li said excitedly.
"It seems that young Jin and that divine doctor Ling Tian weren't bragging at all.
This medicinal cuisine truly has an effect, and a very significant one at that!
Alright, I need to make a video about this when I get back. This trip to Jiangshan was definitely worthwhile."
A few days later, Da Zui Lao Li and Tang Jie's videos were released, and Celestial Master Medicinal Cuisine officially opened for business.
The influence of these two food vloggers was immense, resulting in Celestial Master Medicinal Cuisine being fully booked on its opening day, with guests overflowing.
It's worth noting that this restaurant had over 30 private rooms and more than a hundred tables, generating a daily profit of hundreds of thousands!

At the Jiangshan City International Airport, in the departure hall, Ling Tian was waiting for his boarding call. Beside him was Wang Bingxia, who had specifically taken leave from work to see him off.
"Bingxia, you should go back. I'm just going to the capital. It will be at most a week or ten days before we see each other again," Ling Tian said to Wang Bingxia.
Ling Tian's destination was the capital, where he was going to meet a friend of Mr. Li Huiying, the renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Lan Ruoting.
Old Master Li had gone to great lengths and called in many favors to have the divine doctor Lan agree to write a letter of recommendation for Ling Tian.
With this letter of recommendation, Ling Tian would be specially permitted to take the examination and obtain a medical practice license.
Of course, before that, he had to pass Doctor Lan's assessment.
