Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Liqiang smiled foolishly. At this moment, Yan Liqiang didn't think at all about what kind of reward the Lu family would give him. His heart was filled with pure excitement and joy. In his two lives, he never thought that he would have the ability to bring people back to life.
A few cheap moxa sticks, if found the right method, could potentially save a life. This precious thing really doesn't have to be expensive.
"Xiao Qi, take Master Yan to the Peony Hall and have him sit for a while. Treat him well. I'll come right after..." the old man of the Lu family spoke.
The one called Xiao Qi by the old man of the Lu family is the butler Lu. In the entire Lu family, only the old man of the Lu family can call the butler Lu like that. Other people in the Lu family, when they see the butler Lu, they either call him Uncle Seven or Master Seven.
"Okay, Master!" Butler Lu nodded, then came to Yan Liqiang and said politely, "Master Yan, it's a bit messy here. Please follow me to the Peony Hall to rest for a while!"
"Thank you, Butler Lu!" Yan Liqiang nodded, and followed Butler Lu out of the room and stopped watching.
The doctors hired by the Lu family who were waiting to see Yan Liqiang make a fool of himself were just outside the door. When they saw Yan Liqiang coming out, they looked at him as if he was looking at a living alien with three heads and six arms walking down from a flying saucer.
Several people surrounded him almost at the same time, like paparazzi lurking around for a star, and they all rushed forward.
But before they could speak, Butler Lu spoke up, "Everyone, Master Yan is a little tired and needs to rest. If you have any questions, please ask Master Yan another day when it's convenient for you!"
Yan Liqiang didn't say much, just smiled at the doctors and left with Butler Lu.
The Lu family saw the secret method of saving people, but they probably wouldn't tell anyone because it was a taboo. If I saved the eldest grandson of the Lu family, and the Lu family sold me out, then the Lu family would lose face in Huanglong County, and even in the entire Pingxi County. Moreover, this would not benefit the Lu family at all. With the Lu family's affairs, there was no need and they would not do such a stupid thing. For the Lu family, at most, they would not need to ask for help when they encounter such a situation in the future, and they would do it themselves.
So this secret method is now equivalent to my own unique secret recipe.
Yan Liqiang also wanted to spread this method, and it would be best if everyone knew about it, so that more people could be saved. However, he would never tell everything to others as soon as they opened their mouths in this situation. If he did so, these doctors would only think, how could it be so simple, they could not even think of it. They would not think that you, Yan Liqiang, are generous, nor would they think that this secret recipe is precious. They would only think that all this is natural and that you, Yan Liqiang, are lucky. If there is a villain among them, out of jealousy, he may even bite you back after learning the secret method, and go around ruining your reputation and saying bad things about you.
This is the summary of Yan Liqiang’s experience in his previous life. To be a good person, many times, you not only need to use your heart, but also your brain. Sometimes you have to pretend to be cool. If you don’t pretend, it will be bad. Many people fall for this.
…
It took less than a minute for Butler Lu and Yan Liqiang to arrive at the Peony Hall of the Lu family.
This Peony Hall should be the place where the Lu family receives important guests. The environment here is quiet and there is a garden outside that is full of peonies. All the furnishings in the hall are rich and elegant.
As soon as he entered the Peony Hall, Yan Liqiang's stomach started to growl. The gurgling sound was so loud, it sounded like a toad's croaking. Even the butler Lu next to him could hear it.
"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality today. Please sit here for a while, Mr. Yan. I will arrange for someone to prepare dinner for Mr. Lu right away!" Butler Lu said apologetically.
Yan Liqiang smiled and nodded without refusing. He was indeed hungry. He had been walking in the county town of Huanglong all day and was already exhausted. He had originally planned to go back to the craftsman camp tonight for dinner, but he didn't expect to encounter this order from the Lu family. Two or three hours had passed in the blink of an eye. He didn't feel it when he was saving people just now, but now that he relaxed, Yan Liqiang felt that his chest was about to stick to his back.
Butler Lu left the Peony Hall to arrange dinner for Yan Liqiang, and then came back in the Peony Hall to chat with Yan Liqiang, which was considered a courtesy.
Butler Lu was an experienced man. As they chatted, he praised Yan Liqiang highly, and the topic of the conversation turned to Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang did not hide anything, because it was impossible to hide it. Following the words of Butler Lu, he told everything he needed to say about the situation at home.
These things cannot be hidden from anyone, and there is nothing to hide, because his family lives in Qinghe County, which is adjacent to Huanglong County. If the Lu family wants to know about my news, they can just send a manager to go out and inquire, and they will know everything.
The two of them were chatting, and after a while, Yan Liqiang's dinner arrived.
It was called dinner, but it was almost like a dinner party.
Several strong servants of the Lu family directly brought in a large round dining table and placed it in the Peony Hall. Then, maids came up one by one like butterflies, carrying all kinds of delicious dishes. In a short while, a large table of delicious dishes with more than 20 dishes filled with fragrance, as well as several bottles of decades-old wine, was placed in front of Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang couldn't recognize many of the dishes on the table, but he still recognized two of them, one of which was a thick bear paw.
It takes not a short time to make steamed bear paws, but most of the day. The Lu family was able to serve it so quickly, which means that this dish is always available in the Lu family’s kitchen. Maybe there are a few bear paws being steamed every day and they are served when you want to eat them.
Not to mention this life, even in the previous life, Yan Liqiang had never seen such sumptuous and high-end dishes twice.
It was such a waste and luxury for Yan Liqiang to eat all the food on the table by himself.
"Mr. Yan, please have your meal!" Butler Lu politely made a gesture of invitation.
Holding the ivory chopsticks inlaid with silver patterns, looking at the table full of dishes, Yan Liqiang's tears suddenly flowed for some reason...
Butler Lu was slightly stunned. "I wonder if Master Yan is not satisfied with the dishes on this table. If not, I will ask someone to change the table!"
"No, no!" Yan Liqiang wiped his tears, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Steward Lu. I just suddenly remembered my father at home. He made a living by working as a blacksmith every day. He worked hard from dawn to dusk for more than ten years to support me in martial arts training. He usually didn't even want to eat meat and only let me eat it. I'm afraid he has never had such a sumptuous meal in his life. I can't help but feel touched!"
Butler Lu did not smile, but looked at Yan Liqiang deeply. His eyes became much gentler and his voice became softer. "Master Yan, don't be sentimental. After today, your father won't have to work so hard anymore!"
…
Yan Liqiang took nearly half an hour to finish this meal, and he ate most of the delicacies on the table by himself.
During these days of practicing Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing, especially after passing the horse stance test, Yan Liqiang's appetite gradually increased. He could eat more and more. Especially when faced with such rich and delicious food, Yan Liqiang did not hesitate to eat to his heart's content.
Yan Liqiang only ate food and did not drink any wine. After the meal, the maid brought him tea and fruit.
After eating the fruit and drinking some tea, the table full of food was cleared away.
The food was taken away and new things were brought in.
The servants of the Lu family brought in two heavy boxes and placed them on the table. Butler Lu then opened the boxes. The boxes full of gold bars shone brightly under the candlelight, causing Yan Liqiang to squint his eyes involuntarily.
Just when Yan Liqiang was guessing how much gold there was, the old man of the Lu family walked in from outside with a smile on his face.
