94. Bak Kut Teh
Speaking of this, she choked up: "I entered the operating room again just now." β.
"Was the operation successful?"
"Still in surgery. β
"Bai Huixin is waiting outside?"
"She left as soon as the operation began. β
There was no movement at the other end of the desk, and the beautiful secretary clasped the Wen JiΓ n clip in her hand with both hands.
After about half a minute, she calmed down and said, "Mr. Liang, then I'll go out and do things first." β
Then she vaguely saw that the man nodded lightly, "um", quickly gathered her stomach and back, restrained the urge to escape, and walked out step by step.
Tang Qian had also experienced her father being critically ill and entering the operating room before, and she knew that people's feelings were especially easy to get out of control in this situation, especially when someone was talking to in front of her.
Bai Huixin's tears rolled down like this, she didn't expect that she was so out of control, and she turned her face away.
Tang Qian handed her a tissue and said, "I'll go downstairs first to see how my friend's dinner ingredients are being prepared." β
Tang Qian's words were not entirely for Bai Hui's good to step down, she did go to see how the ingredients were.
Bai Huixin said that just now, even if she didn't explain further, she guessed that the accident of her game was related to Bai Huixin.
When she saw Bai Huixin at the school gate, the recipe popped up, and she was now going downstairs to prepare the ingredients.
The requirements of the recipe this time are different again, the ingredients can be prepared by yourself, unlike the ingredients that had to be bought by Zhuang Shize like the last time I made a vegetarian hot pot.
"Angelica, Chuanxiong, wolfberry, rehman, jade bamboo, black date, cinnamon branch, white peppercorn...... Pork ribs and pork, what are you going to cook?" Wang Qi watched as Tang Qian lifted the lid of the pot and took out a large pile of soup ingredients, raised his index finger and pointed upward, "Cook it for that aunt?"
"Quietly. Tang Qian smiled and nodded, "It's cooked for her, but it's not for her to eat." β
Wang Qi knows the golden finger of Tang Qian, it should be said that both of them know each other's golden finger, and they often discuss where this golden finger comes from.
But they all felt that no matter where it came from, as long as it didn't go for a while, it was still excellent.
"Just now you said she had a request for you, is that?" Wang Qi finally understood a little, "Listen to her tone, she instructed that incident during the game?"
Tang Qian cleaned the materials again and said: "She is the chairman of the competition, and she has no direct interest in me, or even Tang Zujing." She didn't instigate it, but she acquiesced. β
Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "Then the people who have a direct interest in us are the other people in the competition, who will it be? We are a small shop that has just started, who still takes us in their eyes?
Tang Qian thought for a while and said, "I guess, it's Hanjiang Xue." β
Wang Qi couldn't cry or laugh: "Can't it! What is Han Jiangxue! The status of this small shop can't catch up with it even if it is a rocket now, as for making such a black hand?"
Tang Qian groaned, put the ribs and pork into the fresh-keeping lunch box, and said: "Last time Ning Fei went to Hanjiangxue to eat, she was a little unpleasant, saying that Hanjiangxue is not as good as our Tang Zujing, which has greatly increased the exposure of this small shop......
"Business is also much better. As soon as Wang Qi thought of this, she couldn't help but be happy for Tang Qian.
"Yes, business is much better, but there are two sides to everything. Business is good, but it has also made a big enemy. Han Jiangxue's reputation for so many years has been stained, what kind of character is Ning Fei? What she said still has a certain influence, and it is not impossible for Han Jiangxue to hold a grudge against me because of this matter. β
"It's absolutely possible! At that time, the news suddenly overwhelmingly said that Ning Fei was playing a big name! This matter must have nothing to do with Han Jiangxue!"
Tang Qian put the rest of the medicinal herbs in a gauze bag, tied them up, put them in another box, and sighed heavily, "However, I'm just guessing, after all, I don't know who the real black hand is." But one thing is for sure, he wants to suppress me. This person doesn't want me to be in the food world. β
Wang Qi watched Tang Qian close the lid on all the lunch boxes, and her brows became tangled: "Aunt Bai is that kind of person, and you still help her?"
Tang Qian folded the lunch box and put it into a lunch box bag: "Her husband is estimated to be very sick, although I can't see it, but judging from her attitude, it should have encountered something that can't be solved by current medicine." And I'm a deal with her, not a help. β
Wang Qi was still angry: "But now she is clearly bullying you! She also swaggers to tell you, making a face that looks down on people, and is so arrogant! What kind of deal does this kind of person have with her? Can she trade fairly?" Her chest rose and fell violently, "Do you even want your own self-esteem for money?!"
Tang Qian's face froze: "It's a bit too much for you to raise this matter to the height of self-esteem." You're not me, so how do you know why I'm doing this? I can't trade with her for money? Wang Qi, you're not a person of this age, and you also know that people can't live in the fantasy of fighting for one breath all the time. β
Wang Qi opened his mouth, unable to refute.
Yes, standing and talking without low back pain, and of course it is easy to say without a needle pricking yourself.
"If I want to raise a family, if I want to establish myself in this city, I have to get rid of all that unnecessary childishness. What I want to do is to weigh the pros and cons, not to stand on the moral high ground on impulse to point the way. I'm not helping her unconditionally, it's not that Our Lady has an attack, I have something I need her to do for me, and then I help her cook, it's that simple!" Tang Qian put the lunch box bag on the table, and the more she talked, the more ugly her face became.
The competition made a Tai Chi yam puree, and the "recipe" rewarded 1,000 yuan, which is more than making other dishes, cooking can make money, and she needs money to support her future life.
She was half a cook and half a businessman in her previous life, and she and Bai Huixin are now clearly interested, why should she hand over her heart and be so angry that her liver hurts?
She originally thought that everyone was born again, and they were reborn after experiencing pain, and they should understand each other better.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little, everyone's worldview is different, isn't she doing this to force people to agree with her?
Why?
In fact, Wang Qi said these words for a while, she had never seen Tang Qian so excited, she was so bluffed that she didn't even have time to make a good-looking expression, so she just stared and opened her mouth to stand.
Because Tang Qian has always been strategic, she is like an unpredictable prophet for everything, and she is extremely calm, and she is also used to that kind of Tang Qian.
Wang Qi was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and said hesitantly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm just not worth it for you." β
Tang Qian also felt a little embarrassed: "It's me who was too excited just now, it should be that I said I'm sorry, after all, I can't ask you to fully understand me, it's me who is wrong, I'm naΓ―ve." β
Wang Qiqing waved his hand: "No, no, no...... I...... Hey!" she smiled bitterly, "I really regard you as a good friend, I'm in a hurry, I'm too stingy to speak, I'll change it!"
"I'll change it too. Tang Qian smiled a little apologetically, hoping to ease the atmosphere, "I'll go up and see her first." β
When Tang Qian went upstairs again, Bai Huixin had already calmed down, her eyes were a little red and swollen, but her expression was cold and hard as a strong woman.
She showed a fairly sincere smile to Tang Qian, and said, "Let me tell you about my husband's situation, he went to the operating room once half a year, and he has rested...... she smiled bitterly, "I bought several lists of medicinal and nutritious meals prescribed by Hanjiang Xue, and people always get better quickly as soon as they eat it, but it didn't take long for the situation to deteriorate...... Of course, this may be my subjective belief that my husband's illness is affected by the list, or that it is not related to the list, but because of my husband's poor health......"
What Bai Huixin said this time was much more real than what he said just now, and Tang Qian was also comfortable to listen to. However, according to Bai Huixin, the list given by Han Jiangxue seems to have an effective time, and once this effective time passes, the patient's condition will be even worse.
Bai Huixin is not talking in vain, she told Tang Qian about the situation of several of her husband's friends, after all, the age is there, the body is not as good as when they were young, and everyone always has a little illness and pain.
That group of people always likes to talk about health, and they don't know who it is, so they take Han Jiangxue by the end.
Han Jiangxue's list was opened, and it was really effective to eat it, so it spread among that group of people, but because the price was not affordable for ordinary people, not everyone could afford the list.
Bai Huixin's husband's friends are like this, and they feel very comfortable when they eat, but when they get together to eat after a while, they always hear that this one is very sick and that one is uncomfortable.
Tang Qian pondered what Bai Huixin said in her heart, and always felt creepy.
The ingredients can be prepared by Tang Qian herself, but the utensils must be the pot at Bai Huixin's house, and the cooking location must be in Bai Huixin's hospital room.
Fortunately, Bai Huixin is familiar with the dean, otherwise it would be impossible for these things to get into the ward.
Bai Huixin's husband has come out of the operating room, and he is still asleep, but the situation has stabilized, and there is no danger for the time being.
Soup coriander into the pot to stack the ribs, put the gauze bag containing the herbs into it, the whole garlic is not peeled, clean it and put it in the pot, add water, the induction cooker opens the stir-fry gear, boil over high heat,
After the water boiled, she turned the lowest setting and simmered on low heat.
"Cook it for another two hours and you're ready to eat. Tang Qian glanced at the skinny man on the hospital bed and whispered.
Bai Huixin's brows were always unconsciously furrowed, and she pointed to the sofa: "Thank you for your hard work, sit here." β
As soon as Tang Qian sat down, Bai Huixin made her tea again: "This is boiled bak kut tea, right? I smell like it, I used to eat it when I went to Malaysia with Lao Xu to play, it seems to be in a certain alley in Kuala Lumpur, the stone benches and stone tables, the edges are polished, the business is very good, and the taste is really delicious." β
Bai Huixin's words reminded Tang Qian of the fact that he had eaten bak kut teh in Malaysia in his previous life.
A pot of tea is served first, and several jars on the table contain spices, garlic, pepper oil and shredded chili peppers, which can be freely mixed and matched into the plate.
Originally, it was used to dip the sauce of pork ribs, and when it was served, I picked it up with chopsticks and took a few bites, it was spicy and fragrant, and I could instantly hook up the saliva if I didn't have an appetite, and then I smelled the rich fragrance of the bak kut tea, and I gave a mouthful of saliva.
The corners of Tang Qian's mouth raised slightly: "Yes." Although the name of the bak kut tea has 'tea', the soup stock does not have tea leaves, and the 'meat bones' are pork ribs, and the "tea" is actually a pork rib herbal soup. β
Bai Huixin remembered those happy times with her husband, her brows furrowed, and she said: "It is said that because of taboos, the medicine was changed to "tea". She thought about the smell, and then she swallowed the thick fragrance that was already wafting from the room.
"That's how it came about. Tang Qian took a sip of the tea in the cup, a burst of fragrance seeped out, and his throat was soothed, "Ms. Bai, this tea is a good tea, Bak Kut Tea has the effect of detoxifying dampness, and it is very suitable for people with heavy dampness in the body." The medicinal diet I made is actually similar to the principle of Mr. Liang you mentioned, using different amounts and types of food and herbs to cook in combination, you can achieve the effect you want, you can rest assured. β
Bai Huixin smiled and said, "I have heard of your fame, of course I am relieved." β
She doesn't think so, but now, she has to fight for everything.
When the bak kut tea was about to be cooked, the man on the hospital bed also woke up, and he was thin and sat up as if he was trying to break free from the shackles of the quilt.
Bai Huixin shook the hospital bed up, and the man said to Tang Qian angrily and insincerely: "Miss Tang, thank you for your hard work." β
He knew what he was doing, but he was just left to his wife to toss, and she was happy.
Tang Qian could see it, and only said, "Mr. Xu is polite." β
Mr. Xu had already woken up, and when he heard the nurse say that he heard his voice in his ward, that Bai Huixin had brought a little girl in, and that he had moved the entire kitchen in. β
"Good, keep an eye out. β
Liang Que pressed the phone, picked up the knife and fork, and cut the six-ripe steak on the plate, the surface was already cooked, but the inside was still tender red, with truffles, the taste was delicious and unique, the fragrance filled the mouth, and after taking a sip of wine, he sighed slightly.
There was no female companion opposite him, the table was a small round table, and he was the only one who tasted steak, and he was overlooking half of the river city by the window, drinking with his own shadow.
"The disease always has to be cured slowly, and the disease always has to recur, how can it get better so quickly? But if you take medicine on time, the disease will always get better, isn't it?"
He looked at the shadowy mirror image of the glass, muttering something that others could not understand.
From time to time, Tang Qian would look at the soup and meat in the pot, she watched the pork ribs and pork slowly turn from tender red to light gray, the soup noodles from calm to gurgling and bubbling, watching the meat and bones were tired The soup slowly colored, and the fragrance rushed out from the small hole on the top of the pot lid, fragrant the whole ward, and covered the smell of disinfectant water at all.
The man on the hospital bed had his eyes lit up and looked at his wife, with the same expression of happiness as his wife talking about the shop in Kuala Lumpur.
The patient still should not eat too spicy, and the soup coriander is still prepared with minced garlic and prepared soy sauce, as well as sesame oil and chili rings, and the small plates are lined up so that Bai Huixin and her husband can mix and match them at will.
She didn't add shiitake mushrooms to the bak kut tea, which are fragrant, but they are also easy to steal the flavor.
The simpler the food, the more faithful it is, the better it tastes.
People, too, the simpler, the happier.
The meat is fragrant and fragrant, and when you take a sip, you will feel as if your whole body is full of vitality.
The mellow aroma made Mr. Xu involuntarily straighten his waist, and as soon as he clamped the chopsticks, the stewed meat left the bones, and when he ate it in his mouth, the plump juice was sucked out of the meat, and the aroma gushed into his nose.
The meat is a little fat, the oil and water soak the lean meat and plump, the meat is not woody, soft and not rotten, and the meaty ribs come alive in the mouth.
There are a lot of ribs, but Bai Huixin and Mr. Xu are talking and laughing while eating, and they even eat this small pot of fine food, and after eating the meat, they still can't finish sucking a few mouthfuls of bones and sending two mouthfuls of soup, which is delicious.
Tang Qian left the ward as early as when she was ready for bak kut tea, and before she came to the hospital, she received a message from Zhuang Shize asking where she was.
She only said that she was in the affiliated hospital, and when she left the ward, she saw the young man by the door nervously staring at everyone who came in and out at the gate of the hospital, and her heart softened.
There are a lot of things going on today, and she seems to have been strained for a day, and now she is relaxing.
She walked over and said softly, "Why are you here?"
When Zhuang Shize saw Tang Qian, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just want to see you soon." β
With such a sentence, Tang Qian's eyes almost turned red, she endured it and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhuang Shize smiled like a child: "I'm fine! My uncle and they began to fight back, and my money came back." β
This is the benefit of the gold market, buy now and sell now, one second determines life and death, one second heaven, one second hell.
Fortunately, the god of luck was still on his side.
Tang Qian didn't ask, revealing today's first real, reassuring, big smile-
"Wang Qi made crayfish, let's go!
