Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173: Fragrance Across Ten Miles (3 Updates)

"Manager Song, you’re truly amazing! Most of the diners have come to our side!"

Inside Su Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop, a woman heavily made up unabashedly leaned against the pudgy middle-aged man beside her, flattering him.

The pudgy man referred to as Manager Song reached out and firmly grabbed the woman’s hips, looking smug as he said, "Of course, do you even know who I am? Can they compete with me?"

In front of Manager Song stood a timid young man who whispered cautiously, "Manager Song, spending so much for this event, are you sure it’s okay?"

Manager Song’s face showed slight displeasure upon hearing this, but he still laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, Little Chen. This Medicinal Cuisine Shop is exactly what Chairman Su uses to suppress the opposite shop. As long as it’s effective, Chairman Su won’t mind spending more money."

"But... shouldn’t we report back?"

The young man still hesitated, but seeing Manager Song’s dismissive wave, he continued, "Come on, by the time we’ve reported, the opportunity will have long passed. You’re just worried about financial approval, right? Don’t worry, any issues, just blame me."

"This..."

"Alright, you can leave. I have important business to discuss with Secretary Li!" Manager Song said impatiently.

The young man wanted to say more, but seeing Manager Song’s displeased expression, he swallowed his words and left resentfully.

As soon as the door closed, Manager Song eagerly embraced Secretary Li.

Secretary Li wasn’t angry; instead, she giggled and said, "Little Chen is just like that. Who doesn’t know you’re Chairman Su’s confidant? Who can possibly understand Chairman Su’s intentions better than you do in the entire Su Family?"

"You really understand!" Manager Song chuckled and pressed Secretary Li’s head down.

Secretary Li chuckled seductively...

The two were in the heat of the moment when suddenly, a faint aroma wafted in from outside the window. It wasn’t any perfume or spice, just the pure aroma of ingredients.

This aroma, though subtle, was distinct to everyone who sensed it.

It was a scent that was elusive yet capable of arousing endless desire.

Everyone who smelled it unconsciously wanted to taste whatever it was that emitted such an aroma. Even without knowing what it looked like, they still salivated.

Manager Song was momentarily distracted but suddenly felt a jolt of pain.

"Damn woman, are you trying to make me childless?" Manager Song kicked Secretary Li away, cursing loudly.

Secretary Li was stunned for a moment, then said with some grievance, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I just suddenly smelled this aroma..."

Manager Song’s expression turned tremendously ugly. Fortunately, the secretary hadn’t completely lost her reason. If she had applied a bit more force, the consequences... how would he live with that afterward?

And even though it wasn’t severe at that moment, the sudden scare, who knows what effects it might have?

"Get out!" Manager Song almost tore his mustache in anger, losing all interest in life, with only a slowly simmering resentment yet to be released.

Secretary Li bit her lip, feeling greatly wronged, and opened the door to leave.

But moments later, she returned, her expression changing from previous grievance to urgency.

"Manager, it’s bad. All our diners have run over to the opposite side to eat!"

"What? What’s going on?" At that moment, Manager Song forgot even the pain, pounding the table as he stood up.

Secretary Li solemnly said, "I don’t know either, but it seems that mysterious fragrance just now came from the opposite side. The diners smelled it and couldn’t wait to get over there to eat."

"How could this happen?" Manager Song’s expression was as dark as water as he rushed out to check.

Just as Secretary Li described, in Su Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop, eight out of ten diners had already left. Even those who remained were hesitating between the delicious food and the thousand yuan prize.

The aroma had already stirred primal urges, leading many to abandon thoughts of money and worldly things, thinking only of tasting the delicacies. Manager Song even asked the staff to increase the prize amount, but it was to no avail.

Even Manager Song himself held infinite longing for that mysterious food, and if he hadn’t forcibly suppressed these thoughts, he might have joined those flocking to the opposite side to eat medicinal cuisine.

In no time, Manager Song’s face looked as if he had lost a dear one.

Su Manni had repeatedly urged him that he must prevent the opposite side’s medicinal cuisine shop from opening successfully. Now, on just the first day of opening, if the diners were stolen away, how could he face Su Manni?

"This won’t do; I can’t just let them go on like this!"

Manager Song’s eyes darted around a few times, finally biting his lip and picking up the phone.

Soon, several youths with a hooligan-like appearance appeared in Manager Song’s office. After some discussion, they quietly slipped out and mingled into the Chuanmei Medicinal Cuisine Shop.

...

The Chuanmei Medicinal Cuisine Shop was truly packed at this moment.

Everyone was in a state of obsession, no matter how Langfan and others tried to maintain order, still, no one wanted to queue, fearing that if they went late, they wouldn’t get to eat.

"I can’t take it anymore; I’m about to burst! But I still want to eat. What should I do?" In the kitchen, Han Xue’er clutched her bulging stomach, looking conflicted.

"Did you put some drugs in the medicinal cuisine? How can it be this enticing? Even I can’t get enough!" Xiao Haimei said, speaking indistinctly while eating from her bowl of medicinal cuisine.

The medicinal cuisine here was actually prepared by Ye Haochuan long ago. But for confidentiality, he sealed the surroundings with spiritual energy. When he opened it, the aroma of the medicinal cuisine spread for miles around.

Ye Haochuan rolled his eyes, saying irritably, "What kind of person do you take your husband for? Self-serving? Besides, if it had drugs, would I let you eat it?"

"But if it doesn’t have those things, how can it taste so good? I feel I’m already addicted!" Han Xue’er said with a wronged expression.

"Nonsense, I spent a lot of money and effort on this. If it weren’t somewhat appealing, wouldn’t my reputation as a Divine Doctor be ruined?" Ye Haochuan said impatiently.

Not to mention, just this Heavenly Fragrant Dragon Herb, it’s something money can’t buy in the Mundane World, right? Without such effects, how could it be called Spiritual Medicine?

"No way, I have to eat the medicinal cuisine you make every day from now on!" Xiao Haimei finally put down her utensils, looking at Ye Haochuan with longing.

"Yes, I want to eat it too!" Han Xue’er echoed.

Damn, even if I’m an expert in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Supreme Alliance leader with the title of Divine Doctor, making me work in the kitchen every day is a real waste of talent, okay?

Ye Haochuan had a face full of black lines, not wanting to engage with them.
