Seeing his stubborn expression, Jiang Lie knew he was inflexible and wouldn't give up unless he went. It was a good opportunity to go to town to buy some things, as they didn't have much braising material left at home.

"Wife, didn't you say you were going to town to buy some medicine bottles? Why don't we go together? I also need to buy some braising liquid."

"By the way, let's deliver another package to Good Luck."

"Okay, I'll write down a list and buy everything."

"Um."

Seeing this, Yang Chunsheng grinned foolishly: "Brother Hunter, I heard from the hunters that you're really amazing, that you're as good as an entire hunter team, and that you even killed a big tiger before, right?"

Jiang Lie placed the withered tree in the corner and grunted, "Yes, we fought it. That tiger ate people; we can't let it live."

"Wow, that's amazing! Who taught you that skill, and how did you manage to do it?"

"I didn't have a master. My dad taught me a little, and I figured out the rest on my own. I'm naturally stronger than others, and with a bit of skill, I managed to do it. There's nothing special about it."

Yang Chunsheng followed him around like a little tail.

Jiang Lie placed the goods in a basket on his back, lined it with an old cotton quilt, then added dry grass to prevent them from bumping, and finally covered it with a tattered cloth so that no one could see what was inside.

"Let's go to town."

"Hey Hunter, are you going to town to deliver eggs?"

"Um."

Yang Chunsheng helped push the cart, grinning somewhat foolishly, and kept asking, "Brother Lie, does your brigade also raise livestock? There are so many eggs, and you even sell live chickens and ducks?"

Jiang Lie felt a buzzing in his ears, as if countless bees were swirling around him. He glanced at him with a hint of pressure: "Quiet down, we need to get going."

"Oh, right, getting on the road is the priority, hehe."

Ten minutes later.

"Wife, come up on the cart, walking is too tiring."

"Okay, drink some water to quench your thirst."

Yang Chunsheng blinked as he looked at the two of them. Their relationship was really good. He never expected that the female educated youth, who always had high standards, would be willing to be genuinely kind to the hunters in the countryside.

It's so enviable. Why aren't the educated youth in their brigade like this? Sigh.

After arriving in town, Jiang Lie pulled the cart to the back gate, handed over the goods to them, received the money, and then led the two to the supply and marketing cooperative and the herbal medicine shop to buy things.

Wen Yao put the straw in her basket, then the medicine bottle, so that it wouldn't get bumped or damaged. By the time she finished shopping, it was already eleven o'clock.

Yang Chunsheng followed behind, carrying things in his hands, and smiled familiarly: "Brother Lie, sister-in-law, where are we going now? Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal, order whatever you like."

"Okay, let's go eat at Good Luck Restaurant."

"Good luck, Hunter, are you really going to that place? Although it's cheaper, you don't need to save money for me. My family is quite well-off."

"If we're going to eat, let's go to that Happiness Restaurant across the street. It's incredibly popular; you'll see when you get there..."

The three of them looked at the entrances of the two shops. Yang Chunsheng looked at the big sign of Xingfu State-run Restaurant and then at the entrance where there used to be long queues, but now there were only a few scattered people, and it was very empty.

There were people circling around the entrance of Haoyunlai across the street. Rubbing his eyes, he looked bewildered: "Huh, it seems like it's only been half a month since I last came to town. Could I have remembered wrong?"

"It wasn't like this before. I remember the Happiness Restaurant was always packed, but the Lucky One across the street was always empty, even though it was cheap."

"Why is it reversed now? Did I remember wrong?"

Jiang Lie's voice came: "Yang Chunsheng, hurry up and catch up."

Yang Chunsheng scratched his head and hurried over. Looking at the long queue, he said with a wry smile, "Brother Lie, there are too many people at Haoyunlai. If we have to wait in line, we won't be able to eat until the afternoon."

"No, just come with me."

He called out, "Wu Yi."

Wu Yi was busy making sure people lined up properly when he heard someone call him. He looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes lit up, and he ran over: "Brother Hunter, you're here! Please come in quickly."

Jiang Lie hummed in agreement: "Business has been good at the store lately."

"Haha, yes, thanks to Brother Lie. Please follow me. There are private rooms upstairs where you can eat; it's very quiet."

Yang Chunsheng followed him upstairs, his eyes even more bewildered. Wasn't Brother Lie a hunter? Why were the people at the state-run restaurant treating him so politely? What was the reason for this?

The three of them entered the private room and sat down. Jiang Lie didn't stand on ceremony and ordered several specialty dishes. Wu Yi nodded and closed the door behind him.

The private room fell silent instantly.

Yang Chunsheng couldn't contain his curiosity any longer: "Brother Lie, what exactly is your identity? Why are the people at this state-run restaurant so polite to you? You're amazing!"

"Yes, I have some connections with the owner. If I eat here, I don't have to queue. I can sit in a private room, and the price is also discounted, 20% off."

"After this meal, it will be considered as repayment for rescuing you on the mountain. You don't need to send anything anymore, understand?"

"Okay, I've got it."

Before long, the food was served, and the rich aroma wafted over. Yang Chunsheng sniffed and stared at the milky white soup, saying, "This place still serves light dishes."

"The restaurant across the street is all oilier and greasier. That place used to be more popular, but now people's tastes have changed, and this place is doing even better business."

Jiang Lie gestured for him to try it and see how it tasted.

The three of them started eating. Yang Chunsheng took a bite of duck meat. It was soft and tender, and the aroma spread in his mouth. It was a little hot, but it slid down into his stomach, and his body seemed to warm up.

"Hey, this tastes different. This looks like old duck soup, but why does it taste so delicious and not strange at all?"

"How did they do that? It feels so good to drink. No wonder there are so many people queuing up downstairs. It smells a little bit medicinal, but not strong. It smells very pleasant."

Wen Yao said softly, "Because this is medicinal cuisine, not ordinary food, it has a very good nourishing effect and is very suitable for the elderly, women and children to drink. It is good for the stomach and makes people feel very comfortable."

"The restaurant across the street is very oily and spicy. It's okay to eat there at first, but it's too irritating to the stomach, and you feel uncomfortable afterward."

"This restaurant has changed its style and now mainly focuses on medicinal cuisine and light meals, which are very good for the body. People who are not short of money can enjoy both good taste and health."

Yang Chunsheng nodded repeatedly: "So that's how it is. No wonder this place is so popular. It makes sense. After eating at the restaurants across the street, they all taste the same, and you get tired of them."

A simple plate of scrambled eggs was served, garnished with scallions, the golden color of the eggs looked very tempting. Yang Chunsheng took a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Mmm, this scrambled eggs is so tender and delicious."

"Why is it different from what I usually eat? Could it be that they put medicine in it too? That's amazing."

Jiang Lie shook his head: "No, this is just ordinary wild scallion scrambled eggs. The wild scallions are dug up from the mountain, and the eggs are special because they have double yolks, so they taste better than regular eggs."
