The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 148: Booming Business

Ling Feng didn’t understand at first, but when he saw what she was holding in her hand, he realized and laughed, "Girls really are trouble."

Li Shiyun glared at him and didn’t say a word as she went out the door.

After she left, Ling Feng didn’t feel like staying in bed either. Looking at his swollen lower body, he said helplessly, "Your life is really tough, always missing the good opportunities!"

After getting dressed, Li Shiyun came back.

They each freshened up and made some breakfast to eat together, feeling as if they were a newlywed couple.

"I’ve decided, I’m going to stay here with you from now on, this feels really good!" Ling Feng said contentedly after finishing his meal and burping.

Li Shiyun glanced at him, "You’ve decided? Did I agree?"

With a thick skin, Ling Feng wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "You’ll definitely agree!"

But Li Shiyun shook her head, "Then you’re wrong, I’ll never agree!"

"Why not?" Ling Feng was astonished.

"You have to think about me, eventually, the villagers will find out, and if the matter spreads to the town, how will I show my face?" Li Shiyun asked.

Ling Feng understood upon hearing this; it was indeed reasonable. Human hearts can be treacherous, and gossip could drown a person. Li Shiyun, after all, was an unmarried woman, and this was indeed not good for her.

So he nodded, "I see, from now on, I’ll wait until late in the night to come over!"

"You!" Li Shiyun immediately glared at him with widened eyes.

"Fool, just teasing you!" Ling Feng chuckled and tightened his embrace on her shoulders.

Li Shiyun didn’t say anything more and leaned on his shoulder for a while. Then she suddenly remembered something and looked up, "Oh yeah, how did things go with Jiaolan last night?"

"I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. She said she would call me, why didn’t she?"

Ling Feng realized this and took out his phone to check. Indeed, there were no calls from Mo Jiaolan, and it wasn’t that he’d missed them.

He immediately dialed her number and called her.

The ringtone sounded for half a minute before the call was answered, and Ling Feng immediately asked, "Are you busy?"

Through the noisy receiver, Mo Jiaolan answered, "Yeah, I’m so busy I’m running in circles!"

"Really? What’s going on?" Ling Feng asked in surprise.

"The hotel was fully booked last night, people were even queuing at the door, business was booming!" said Mo Jiaolan.

Hearing the disorder at her end, with people occasionally coming to ask her questions as she talked on the phone, Ling Feng quickly said, "Let’s not talk now, I’ll be in the county town soon, and we’ll talk face to face!"

"Okay!" Mo Jiaolan said just one word before hanging up the call.

Ling Feng was a little bewildered and turned to look at Li Shiyun, "Let’s go take a look. It’s only the first day, is it really that popular?"

"Alright, I’ll go with you, but I have to be back before noon, there are things to do in the village," said Li Shiyun.

Checking the time, Ling Feng nodded, "No problem, it’s only eight. We should be able to get back by eleven."

With that, he got up and left the village committee office, went home to ride his three-wheeler, and quickly came back.

As he was about to leave the village, having only reached the village entrance, a group of villagers chatting under the trees saw him and immediately waved him over.

Ling Feng stopped the vehicle and asked, "What’s up?"

"Ling Feng, are you heading out?" Wang Yan asked from among the crowd.

"Yeah, are you going to town too?" Ling Feng asked.

"No, we just went to your house to look for you, but nobody was home. We wanted to ask if you’re still hiring?" Wang Yan glanced at Li Shiyun and asked with a smile.

Yesterday, the workers expanded the breeding farm and rented land from Aunt Guihua to prepare for building greenhouses, and the whole village knew about these two events, which got everyone thinking about the possibilities.

Ling Feng responded with a smile, "We’ll be recruiting, but everyone, don’t rush. Let’s wait until I get back to discuss this and ensure there’s work for every household!"

"That would be great!"

"Ling Feng has always been such a righteous guy; I could see it ever since he was a child!"

"Exactly, even after becoming a boss, he hasn’t forgotten about us villagers. This kid is definitely going to make a fortune in the future!"

The villagers’ praises reached his ears, and although Ling Feng felt very pleased inside, he didn’t take it too seriously and left Shiliu Village with a smile.

After he arrived at the hotel, he intended to park the tricycle in the backyard, but when he got to the entrance, he discovered that two cargo trucks were already parked inside and there was no space left.

So, he had no choice but to leave the tricycle at the entrance and entered the hotel with Li Shiyun.

It wasn’t even nine in the morning yet, but the hotel was already buzzing with many people busy at work. It looked like quite a few new pieces of furniture had been added to the lobby, and workers were still installing them.

Not seeing Mo Jiaolan on the first floor, the pair went straight to her office only to find several people inside, with Wang Laogen also present.

"Yo, brother, you’re here! I knew for sure you’d come!" Wang Laogen walked over with a smile.

Seeing that Mo Jiaolan was busy discussing matters with someone, holding some documents, Ling Feng didn’t go over to disturb her. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Old Wang, what’s going on here?"

"Hey, it’s nothing much. Just hired a couple of students to promote our place, and as a result, business was booming last night—we had more than five hundred people!" Wang Laogen said with pride.

Ling Feng did a quick mental calculation: five hundred people would be around fifty tables, and even if it were a thousand yuan per table, that would only amount to an income of fifty thousand yuan.

Seeing the look on his face, Wang Laogen understood and, taking a seat with him on the sofa, said, "It’s not what you’re thinking!"

"What happened then?" Ling Feng asked.

"Most of those five hundred-plus people came by themselves. The hotel simply didn’t have enough individual tables and chairs, so we had to make them share tables to barely fit everyone. Each person spent at least three hundred yuan, and the kitchen was almost driven insane!"

Through Wang Laogen’s account, Ling Feng learned most of the details about the previous night.

The reason they were able to attract so many people to try the medicinal meals so suddenly was mainly thanks to Wang Laogen’s student.

He was a nutritionist at a sanatorium, specifically responsible for providing dietary formulas for retired senior officials.

Due to his introduction, the hotel attracted such a large number of customers.

Ling Feng nodded in understanding, "An income of one hundred and fifty thousand in one night isn’t bad at all. With some extra effort, we could probably double that, right?"

Wang Laogen laughed, "Who told you it’s one hundred and fifty thousand? It was clearly two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Hmm?" Ling Feng and Li Shiyun both looked at him in astonishment.

"Everyone has a bit of curiosity, right? After the first batch of customers left, more people came. Quite a few passersby were drawn over and only left after hearing that the dishes were sold out!"

"Mo is so busy right now because she’s dealing with reservations. We’re fully booked for lunch today, and the seats for tonight are almost reserved out!"

Ling Feng understood, "No wonder it’s so busy here."

"Don’t worry, today’s income is expected to surpass half a million yuan. Just wait a few more days for the news to spread, and surpassing a million is very likely!" Wang Laogen said with a sense of pride.

Ling Feng’s eyes widened, and he clicked his tongue in astonishment, "Really? But can the hotel handle all the work?"

"That’s why we’re about to recruit new staff, aren’t we? We’re definitely short on hands, and the space is not large enough. Mo’s cousin is currently negotiating with the owners of the building next door, planning to buy it!" Wang Laogen explained.

"Chen Yuhe?" Ling Feng asked.

"Right, her. That girl was worn out last night, and yet she came over early this morning again!" Wang Laogen said with a laugh.

Ling Feng was momentarily speechless, then turned to look at Mo Jiaolan, noticing that she was also looking at him, so he asked, "Business used to be lukewarm, and now it’s exploded all of a sudden. It’s a bit overwhelming, isn’t it?"
