Over the next few days, business had gradually stabilized. Every day, Xia Chuyi, besides delivering Medicinal Food to the hospital, spent her time in the store teaching Xia Chengzong to make braised dishes while conducting business.
That afternoon, the braised dishes were sold out as usual, and Xia Chuyi was engrossed in tidying up the chopping board.
Suddenly, she saw someone enter the store out of the corner of her eye. Since she was preoccupied, she didn't lift her head and apologetically said to the newcomer, "Comrade, I'm sorry, but our braised dishes are all sold out."
After finishing her statement, she completed her task and finally raised her head, instantly recognizing the visitor—a woman with a slight tilt of her head, her dark demeanor somewhat haughty.
She was not a regular customer; Xia Chuyi had never seen her before.
Beside the woman stood a man resembling a bodyguard, standing rigidly as if he were a soldier.
