Of course, these things have little impact on Fang Xiaoyue for the time being.
After all, he is opening a restaurant and a place to eat. Even if those Western restaurants open in Nanxiang County, it will definitely be difficult to continue.
After all, Dongju's food is still the best in the world, and those gourmets will not change their tastes just to follow the trend.
After exchanging a few words with Boss Zheng, I heard everyone exclaiming in surprise.
When he turned around and looked back, he saw a foreign car driving in the distance, followed by several military trucks filled with soldiers.
Fang Xiaoyue was not surprised at all by this.
As Marshal Li's only daughter, it would not be unusual for Marshal Li to send a regiment, let alone several trucks of soldiers, for protection.
When the car stopped, a group of officials and gentry headed by the county magistrate immediately gathered around to greet Miss Li's arrival.
When the car door opened, Miss Li was wearing a long Western dress and a black round hat. The veil hanging from the round hat blocked her appearance, leaving anyone who tried to peek at her face extremely disappointed.
Of course, just by looking at her extremely fair complexion, you can tell that Miss Li's appearance is still a bit worse.
After all, this sentence is not just rhetoric.
Besides, Marshal Li was also a member of the official family in the previous dynasty, so he must be pretty good after genetic selection over the years.
After a brief exchange of greetings with the county master, Miss Li got into the car with the help of the maid, and the county master also got on his sedan, and the group returned to the county town.
As for the common people, they naturally dispersed after seeing the excitement.
And a squire like Fang Xiaoyue had to go back, and there was a banquet hosted by the county master to welcome Miss Li at noon.
And this banquet will be held at Shangui Restaurant!
Fang Xiaoyue had to rush back early to supervise the banquet.
Needless to say, everyone was very satisfied with the lunch banquet. Even Miss Li, who is always picky and admires Western food culture, was full of praise for the meal.
This actually made Shangui Restaurant famous again.
After that day, Miss Li lived in Nanxiang County.
Soon, some trucks brought cement, sand and other construction materials into the county town, and began to build a hospital at the place designated by the county boss.
This construction site has undoubtedly become the county peepshow.
In the past, houses in the county were built with wood. What's great here is that they were built with cement, bricks, and steel bars.
This is completely beyond the imagination of county residents.
Since Miss Li personally presided over the project, the construction company responsible for building the hospital was extremely hardworking. Not only did the construction work in three shifts 24 hours a day, but even the boss of the construction company was personally at the construction site.
Thanks to such efforts, in less than three months, a Western-style hospital with white background and red walls was erected on the east side of Nanxiang County.
With the successful construction of this hospital, large and small medical equipment was moved in, and the doctors and nurses recruited by Miss Li were also in place.
On a sunny day, Nanxiang County Charity Hospital was officially opened.
As a burst of fierce firecrackers sounded and the smoke filled the air, Miss Li, who was the director of the charity hospital, the county gentleman who was the honorary director, and a group of Nanxiang County gentry who were willing to donate money, all waved their hands with the help of the etiquette lady.
Scissors, cut the red ribbon.
With the completion of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the charity hospital was also successfully opened.
Of course, the initial business was not that easy, but the gentry couldn't stand it in order to please Miss Li.
Not only did they actively go to the hospital for medical treatment, but they also took the initiative to send patients from their own shops, workshops and even manors.
Under this general trend, even Fang Xiaoyue had to follow the trend and donated two patients.
One is the restaurant manager Liao, and the other is the waiter of the restaurant.
Shopkeeper Liao was old and frail, had not exercised for a long time, and had some high blood pressure, so he accidentally developed pneumonia after catching a cold, while the waiter accidentally suffered from diarrhea.
In short, these two diseases are the specialty of Western-style hospitals.
Therefore, on the basis of donating 100 silver dollars to the charity hospital, Fang Xiaoyue also became one of the directors of the charity hospital.
Of course, as a director, he doesn't have much power in the hospital, it's just an honorary title.
But even so, walking outside, the director of this charity hospital is much more popular than an ordinary country squire.
But what Fang Xiaoyue never expected was that what was supposed to happen happened again.
Huo Zhishan was really frightened after the poisoning incident was exposed.
But then Fang Xiaoyue directly ignored him and did not remove him from his position as a food taster. Therefore, although Huo Zhishan was scared, he still lived a comfortable life.
But as time goes by, the position of food taster is not so easy to sit.
Huo Zhishan is now a big meatball, 1.8 meters tall and weighs up to 260 kilograms. It is extremely strenuous to go out, and he will be out of breath after walking a few steps.
You can imagine how tall his three highs are.
Therefore, shortly after the charity hospital was repaired and put into normal operation, Huo Zhishan fell ill.
The burden on my body was too heavy and I ate high-salt and high-fat food every day, which led to myocarditis. I was sent to a charity hospital for treatment by the restaurant staff.
While Huo Zhishan was hospitalized, Miss Li, the hospital director, led the doctors to inspect the ward, and Huo Zhishan saw her.
Immediately, Huo Zhishan fell in love at first sight with this beautiful, intellectual, and powerful woman.
However, although Huo Zhishan was obese, he was good at conversation and caught Miss Li's attention by chance. The two gradually became friends under Huo Zhishan's deliberate flattery.
When Fang Xiaoyue discovered this, she couldn't help but secretly sigh at the powerful corrective effect of historical inertia in this plane.
Of course, he is not worried that Huo Zhishan, who is now as fat as a pig, will really fall in love with Miss Li.
This is completely impossible. After all, Miss Li is the only daughter of Marshal Li, and her status is extremely noble.
How could she look at a fat man weighing over 260 pounds with her eyes?
The current friendship between the two is just that Miss Li was a little bored in Nanxiang County, and Huo Zhishan happened to be a good talker, and his views on some things just hit her heart, so Miss Li regarded Huo Zhishan as a person with whom she could communicate.
Just ordinary friends.
But this also gave Huo Zhishan some delusions.
However, as time passed, Huo Zhishan also saw the disdain beneath Miss Li's polite behavior.
It is impossible for him to be with Miss Li!
After coming to this conclusion, Huo Zhishan immediately changed his target and aimed at Xiaocui who was following Miss Li.
This Xiaocui was originally Miss Li's playmate since she was a child. To be precise, she was a distant and poor relative of the Li family.
