Chapter 711: Killing Pigs and Sheep for a Welcoming Banquet

Seeing that the master was interested, the ghost doctor naturally told him everything he knew.

"Master, you must also attend this Medical Saint Conference! In previous years, those old guys always looked up to the sky and acted like they were the best in the world. This year, we must put down their arrogance! Let those old guys who look down on others know that there are always people better than you! Humph!"

Qiao Ran looked at his cheap apprentice with interest:

"Why, have you been offended before? Didn't you get the Medical Saint Order?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost doctor jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and shouted guiltily:

"Oh, Master, you don't know! The Medical Saint Conference only takes place once every five years, and those old guys cheat every time, so they only managed to beat me by a narrow margin. This time, I was very confident that I could win the Medical Saint Order, and Master is also going to go, so of course the Medical Saint Order is yours!"

Qiao Ran raised the corners of her lips and said deliberately:

"Oh, since you are so confident, I won't go. I will wait for you to come back with the Medical Saint Order."

"no!"

The ghost doctor shouted immediately.

Then he realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly coughed and said:

"Master, although I have confidence, I still want to give you this opportunity to come forward. Master, you don't know that when I wrote to those old guys and told them that I wanted to take you as my master, they not only didn't believe me, but also wrote back to laugh at me, saying that I was crazy about winning and actually took a little girl as my master. Master, you have to prove yourself, make those old guys convinced, and make them envy me to death!"

Qiao Ran was speechless: "So, you want me to go just to make me save face for you?"

"Master, that's not the way to say it. I am your disciple. If I lose face, then I will also lose face. Besides, I can't let those old guys question my master! Master will come out in person and beat them up. If Master becomes a medical saint, won't I also benefit from it?"

"Since you are my disciple, then you should take the Medical Saint Order, which will show your master's medical skills. Even you, whose medical skills were not as good as those of the divine doctors before, can now surpass them. Wouldn't they admire me even more? You asked me, as a master, to compete with my disciple's opponent. Isn't it an unfair victory?"

"Oh, Master, I haven't studied with you for long, and I haven't even learned half of your medical skills! If I fail to perform well, it won't be a big deal if I lose face, but it would be wrong to let you be laughed at by others."

"It's okay. I believe in you. You were not bad to begin with, and you have made great progress recently. You will definitely be able to surpass those people and win the Medical Saint Order."

"Master! Listen to me, the Medical Saint Conference is really exciting. All the famous doctors from the surrounding countries will participate. If Master wins the Medical Saint Order, he will be able to walk sideways in every country in the future!"

"I'm not a crab. I don't need to walk sideways."

"Master..."

No matter how the ghost doctor persuaded, Qiao Ran remained unmoved.

Although Old Lady Qiao and others nearby were also talking, they were also paying attention to the conversation between the master and the disciple. Hearing Qiao Ran's calmness and the ghost doctor's anxiety, they all smiled knowingly at the same time.

They could all see that Ran Ran had actually decided to attend the Medical Saint Conference and was just teasing her disciple.

But the ghost doctor was too anxious at this time. He was worried that his master would not participate and that he would not be able to fulfill the promise he made to the other miracle doctors. Therefore, he was only concerned with persuading his master, not knowing that his master had actually agreed.

As they were chatting and laughing, the food was served on the street outside and someone came in to invite them to take their seats.

Today, all the villagers were eating outside on the street. The food was cooked in the yards of the Qiao family and several neighboring families.

The table was filled with twelve dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, pork, lamb, rabbit, eggplant, pepper, cucumber, beans, radish, potato, loofah, winter melon, mushrooms, fungus...

There were also two tables of food and wine that Manager Chen brought from Juxianlou, which were placed on these dozens of tables.

It was the first time that Qiao Dajiang saw such a sumptuous banquet. He could hardly believe that this was the Qingshui Village where he used to live, where people were so poor that they couldn't even fill their stomachs.

And this was not even the New Year or any other festival, it was just to welcome the father and daughter back home.

Looking at the smiling faces facing him, Qiao Dajiang was moved to tears.

He raised his wine bowl and toasted the whole village:

"Thank you for your kindness! Dajiang has been away from home for several years and has not taken good care of his mother, wife and children. Thank you for your support and help to our Qiao family. Dajiang is grateful!"

Someone immediately said, "Da Jiang is too modest! In fact, we didn't help the Qiao family at all. Instead, it was your Qiao family who did a great favor to our entire Qingshui Village. We should be thanking your Qiao family and Ran Ran!"

"Yes, yes, yes! If it weren't for Ranran, we might be suffering somewhere right now! Or we might have died on the road of escape. How could we have such a good life today?"

"If it weren't for Ran, I would never have dared to dream of living in a big brick and tile house and eating so many delicious foods. It's worth it to be able to live such a good life now!"

"Ran Ran is the benefactor we should be grateful to. I would like to take this opportunity to raise a glass to Ran Ran! I won't say anything nice, but I will just say one thing: Ran Ran will ask me to do anything in the future, even if it means risking my life, I will do it without hesitation!"

"We too! Our entire family was able to survive because Ranran distributed food to us and took us hunting for food. We, the Qian family, will never forget this kindness!"

"I am an orphan and a widow. If the Qiao family hadn't taken us in out of pity, we would have starved to death, frozen to death, or been killed on the road by refugees. The three of us, the Qin family, swear to respect the Qiao family for the rest of our lives and repay them with the rest of our lives, the next life, and the next life after that."

"And our Niu family..."

……

For a moment, what was originally Qiao Dajiang's toast of gratitude to everyone turned into everyone's gratitude to the Qiao family.

Qiao Dajiang's eyes were moistened as he watched, he felt moved and proud.

Qiao Ran responded to everyone's words of gratitude and didn't even have time to eat.
