Chapter 273: Forced blind date

Cessation lollipops are not a substitute for tobacco, they are just a way to remind yourself to refrain from smoking.

Most of the lollipops on the market are made with sweetener and pectin, which is sweet enough, but because it is too sweet, it is easy for people to have other problems. When Bai Mengqing was chatting with Chen Xin, complaining about this, Chen Xin taught her to make lollipops to replace those sold on the market.

The mold for making lollipops was sent back to her by Chen Xin from abroad, and there are no small molds suitable for family use in China for the time being.

Because of the nature of Yi Bai's work, he often stays up late, so his voice is not very good, and the recipe that Chen Xin told Bai Mengqing is boiled out with rock sugar and loquat. If you don't know how to do it, it's complicated, but what you can do is actually very simple.

Wash the pears, beat them in a food processor, sift both sides with the finest sieve, then add rock sugar and maltose to the pear juice, boil until the syrup is golden brown, and drop a drop of chopsticks into cold water to coagulate into lumps. Scoop the syrup into the mold while it is hot, wait until the syrup is completely cooled, then take off the mold, wrap it in glutinous rice paper, and put a suitable food packaging bag on the outside.

This lollipop has no messy additives and flavor pigments, and pear juice already has a cough suppressant effect, so it is especially suitable for Yibai.

The mold that Chen Xin sent back to Bai Mengqing was not big, and a lollipop could make Yi Bai hold it for about ten minutes, which would not be so sweet that he would get tired of his teeth, and it would allow him to show off everywhere.

I heard that many young people in Yibai's bureau are quitting smoking, and they use this recipe for lollipops.

Zhou Hao flipped through the cigarette case, hesitated, and still took a lollipop out and put it in his mouth. I don't know why, the lollipop, which was supposed to be very sweet, was stunned by him to eat a sour taste.

At noon on Saturday, Yi Bai drove his wife and his friends to the restaurant they had agreed to meet.

Because it was explained in advance, when Zhou Hao and Yi Bai went in, there were a few people sitting opposite. It seems that everyone is about the same age, and it should be a colleague or friend of Officer Qiu's family or something.

Officer Qiu was a little embarrassed, he privately told his wife that Zhou Hao had a girlfriend, and he was going to persuade her not to pull the red line, but his wife disagreed, saying that he had not seen anyone come back after a long-distance relationship for so long, and maybe others would not come back, so it was not impossible for him to be a good girlfriend. Or that Zhou Hao and his best friend are eye-catching, and it is not impossible to take the initiative to share his mysterious girlfriend.

Officer Qiu, who felt that his wife was too natural, did not have the courage to resist. I don't blame him, my wife is in charge of everything inside and outside the house, four old people in two families, and his son who is not in good health, his wife takes care of him properly, she is nothing bad, but she is a little quick-tempered, and she likes to be a matchmaker, really, there is nothing bad.

"Xiao Zhou, this way. Seeing Zhou Hao coming over with his friends, Officer Qiu hurriedly got up to greet him. The seats in the row are also very particular, deliberately leaving three positions, and after seeing Zhou Hao, he pulled him to sit down next to a girl.

Zhou Hao frowned, a little resistant, but Officer Qiu's wife pressed his shoulder and let him sit down without saying a word. In front of people, he didn't want this sister-in-law to lose face, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Officer Qiu knew that he was a little unhappy when he saw Zhou Hao's expressionless face, so he vaguely pulled the hem of his wife's clothes and shook his head gently. His wife raised her eyebrows and wanted to say something, her eyes swept over the other two who followed Zhou Hao, and the young woman looked at her with a little hint of mockery, as if she had seen through her purpose.

"Haozi, let's change positions, you guys sit together, and it's convenient to drink later." After speaking, Bai Mengqing took Zhou Hao's arm and asked him to get up, sat down by himself, and then turned his head to look at the girl next to him, "You don't mind, do you?"

The girl was a little confused, glanced at Officer Qiu's wife, and subconsciously shook her head, "It's okay, you can sit casually." ”

The other two who accompanied them also realized that something was not quite right, and hurriedly found a topic to talk about, so as not to make the atmosphere more and more awkward.

The two men who accompanied him were doctors, who worked in the hospital in the district, and one was the chief of internal medicine. His wife is also in the medical system, but she works at the epidemic prevention station and does tests. The girl who came to go on a blind date with Zhou Hao today is also from the epidemic prevention station, she was a graduate student before, and now she has graduated and has not entered the hospital, so it is estimated that she will take the road of scientific research and administration in the future.

"We are amazing, we are only twenty-five years old this year, and we are already a master of pharmacy. ”

Officer Qiu's wife first pulled on some other topics, and finally turned to this, and glanced at Bai Mengqing vaguely and conspicuously.

"It's amazing. Bai Mengqing also praised cooperatively, "I got a master's degree and my hair was already gray, Xinxin and my class, the doctor graduated this year, it is really incomparable." ”

"Who is Xinxin?" the other female companion keenly sensed that something was wrong and asked.

"Well, eat first, eat first. Officer Qiu's wife stiffened and forcibly pulled the topic away. Bai Mengqing didn't say anything, glanced at her, and laughed softly.

Officer Qiu sat next to him like a pins and needles, he told his wife, Zhou Hao is definitely not a person who can be fooled casually, everyone has already clearly said that he has a girlfriend, and his wife still refuses to give up, isn't this in a hurry to make people slap in the face?

The doctor surnamed Cao wanted to be more lively, and found some topics to talk to Yi Bai. He squeezed his wife's hand, signaling that there must be something wrong with this, and asked her to pay attention.

After eating a meal, I was extremely tired, but whenever Officer Qiu's wife pulled the topic to the girl named Tongtong, Bai Mengqing would inevitably pull Chen Xin out for a walk.

Instead of talking like this, it's better to pick it out. Dr. Cao glanced at his wife and his wife's good friend, and asked directly who that Xinxin was and why he didn't come over with him today.

"Xinxin is still abroad, she only got her doctorate certificate this year, and she should come back in a few months. Bai Mengqing was like this for a while, and he also figured out who was the one who understood, and he knew even more that the girl next to him was afraid that she had been deceived.

"Tongtong is a master of pharmacy and has a strong understanding of Chinese herbal medicines, right?"

"No, I studied Western medicine, and I also know a little about Chinese herbal medicine, not much, not proficient. Ding Ruotong explained with a smile, "If you want to consult Chinese herbal medicines, I have a senior sister who is good at both Chinese and Western medicine, and her family's ancestral Chinese medicine." ”

"Oh, I don't like these very much, but Xin Xin likes it more, she has published a book before, about the health care of herbal tea, and also cooperates with others to sort out some family medicinal recipes, if you specialize in this, I guess you should be able to talk about it." ”

Bai Mengqing smiled brightly, but Officer Qiu's wife hated it so much that she almost broke the chopsticks in her hand.
