Chapter 5 Kapok
[Kapok, clear away heat and dampness, detoxify and stop bleeding.] ]
The medical staff are usually busy, and everyone is generally reluctant to go out to eat during the lunch break, but fortunately, the food in the canteen is good, so there are still a lot of people during the meal.
When Shen Taotao followed Xu Chen'an in, many people had already eaten almost enough, and they were all quite surprised to see Xu Chen'an come in with a strange face.
Xu Chenan ignored these people's gazes, turned around and asked Shen Taotao, "What do you want to eat?"
Shen Taotao glanced at the stall, only to see that there was a card machine, no QR code, she was not very happy: "Didn't you say that I would invite you?"
"The fish-flavored shredded pork in the cafeteria is pretty good, do you want to try it?" he asked.
Shen Taotao nodded indiscriminately, and asked Xu Chenan to recommend a few at will, and she could do it. She has difficulty choosing, and if she chooses it herself, she is afraid that she will be entangled to death.
Xu Chenan quickly swiped the card for her to prepare the meal, and the two of them took the dinner plate and found a corner table to sit down.
The meals of the two are not exactly the same, but they are both meat and vegetarian matching, the color is bright, and it looks good on a white plate.
Shen Taotao was originally an extremely picky eater, but after working as a food editor for a long time, it doesn't matter anything. Even if she doesn't like to eat it, she can eat it hard, and she can taste the advantages and disadvantages.
I have to admit that Zhixitang's working meal is really good, and the taste may not be as good as the outside, but the ingredients are real.
Shen Taotao stirred the soup in the small bowl with a spoon, tasted it lightly, and was a little curious: "What kind of soup is this? ”
Xu Chenan also took a sip, his throat felt a lot more comfortable, and then he explained to her with a light smile: "Kapok pork bone soup." ”
"Is kapok? can you still eat this?" Shen Taotao was very surprised, and took out one with a small spoon to observe it up and down.
Seeing that she was interested, Xu Chenan also said a few more words: "After the kapok is dried, it can be used as medicine to clear away heat and dampness, detoxify and stop bleeding, and it is just right to drink it in this season." You're already damp, so you can drink more. ”
"Tsk, it's really a Chinese medicine clinic, and even the working meals are so healthy. Shen Taotao was amazed, compared with the greasy canteen meal of the newspaper, it was really outstanding.
Xu Chen'an bowed: "Well, there are suitable food supplements for each season, and the canteen will provide them." Everyone is in this industry, and they pay more attention to health. ”
Shen Taotao's eyes lit up when he heard what he said, and he hurriedly put down the tableware in his hand: "By the way, Doctor Xu, I'll tell you the business first." I'm the food editor of H City Metropolis Daily, and I've been working on a special topic on TCM health and diet therapy recently, would you be interested in being our consultant?"
Xu Chen'an of this newspaper really knew that Mr. Xu was an old reader of their family, and he subscribed to the newspaper every year. It's a pity that he didn't see it.
"Consultant, what exactly are you going to do?" Xu Chenan didn't expect this to be the case.
Shen Taotao quickly organized the language: "The editor-in-chief plans to do eight issues, our newspaper is a weekly, and eight issues are exactly two months. The theme is summer health, soup, porridge, drinks and the like can be used, and one or two dishes can be recommended for people with different physiques in each issue. ”
Xu Chen'an listened attentively, put his hands on the table, and looked at her for a moment, like his rigorous appearance during the consultation. Shen Taotao was in a trance for a moment, and felt funny again.
"Is it okay to just recommend recipes?" Xu Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe that it was as simple as she said.
What kind of expression is this? Worried that I have dug a hole for him! Shen Taotao secretly scolded himself, but on the surface, he still had to maintain a polite smile, so angry.
"Doctor Xu, you only need to be responsible for the professional aspect, write down the medical theory clearly, and it is best to give me the source of the recipe as well. I'm in charge of the culture part of the manuscript, introducing the history of the dish and the efficacy and so on, and my colleagues will go to the restaurant where the dish is done well, and we will take care of the rest. She explained seriously, and Xu Chenan listened attentively, not noticing that the people around her were looking at them.
When talking about work, Shen Taotao also restrained his love of laughter and trouble, became a lot more serious, spoke quickly, and his expression was sincere, looking like a different person.
"I've been busy lately, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time, but I can recommend other doctors to you, like Dr. Du in the next office, who is an expert in this area. In fact, he shouldn't have refused the little girl's request, but the project in Xu Chen'an's hand was at a critical stage, and the outpatient clinic was already out of operation to maintain normal.
Shen Taotao's face couldn't hide the loss, and his face collapsed suddenly: "Can you not push me to others?"
"I'm sorry, I really don't have time recently, Dr. Du is very professional and responsible, I believe you will cooperate very well. Looking at the little girl's puffing appearance, Xu Chenan was also a little unbearable, but reason still prevailed and refused her politely.
"Okay. Shen Taotao was lost and lost, but he also knew in his heart that Xu Chenan was not easy to speak, and the two were not very acquainted, so it was understandable that he was rejected.
Xu Chenan brought up the interface of the address book and pushed it in front of Shen Taotao: "This is Dr. Du's phone number, you can save it, and I will inform him in the afternoon and ask him to cooperate with your work." ”
"Good. Shen Taotao took his mobile phone, saved the number seriously, and then returned it to Xu Chen'an, "By the way, Dr. Xu, can I add your WeChat? If you have any questions, it is convenient to ask you." ”
"WeChat?" Xu Chenan was stunned for a moment, and declined her with a smile, "I don't often use WeChat to contact patients, if you have any questions, you can call the outpatient phone for consultation." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Doctor Xu, you're already so busy, I won't bother you. Once again, he explicitly refused, Shen Taotao knew that he was drawing a line with himself.
That's right, he just treats her as an ordinary patient, why should she be cheeky to ask him for help? Shen Taotao's heart was gloomy, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Xu Chen'an, and silently buried his head in the soup.
Xu Chenan went to order a turtle jelly for her again, saying that it was boiled by the medical hall itself, and the taste was authentic. He still had an outpatient clinic in the afternoon, so naturally he couldn't delay, so he hurried back to the clinic after eating.
Shen Taotao didn't stay long, and drove back to the newspaper office after eating. As for the turtle jelly, she left it on the table intact and didn't move.
When she returned to her workstation, she found that she had been pulled into a new work group, which was built by the editor-in-chief for the summer health topic, and it seemed that this topic was quite important.
With such a small episode, Shen Taotao was depressed all day, and he went home early after work.
After work, she rented a small apartment near the newspaper office, which made it much easier for her to commute to work, and only occasionally went back to her parents. The most important thing is that she is a typical night owl, and Shen's mother inevitably mentions her ears every day because of her work and rest problems, and she wants to have a clean ear.
The house was deserted, and Shen Taotao didn't have much appetite to cook, so he just cooked noodles to solve it, and it was rare to have the idea of going to bed early, so he climbed into bed after taking a bath.
Afraid of something, she suddenly felt unsteady when she slept until midnight, and ran to the bathroom to see, sure enough, it was an old friend who visited. After a simple cleanup, he turned his head back to sleep again, and when Shen Taotao opened his eyes again, it was already three poles in the sun.
She was still lying in the quilt and didn't want to get up, and suddenly remembered her situation, and she didn't know if she could go to acupuncture again. searched the Internet and didn't find any exact answers, so Shen Taotao had to get up with difficulty and rummage through the cabinets to find the phone number of the medical center.
She remembered that when she went to the hospital for the first time, the little nurse at the registration desk brought her a card with a phone number printed on it, which she casually stuffed into her bag.
Shen Taotao found the bag she was carrying that day, turned the handbag upside down, and finally found the business card she had randomly stuffed into it from a mezzanine. The business card has long been folded, leaving deep creases on the hard card, which looks a bit miserable.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Taotao still entered the number printed on it and dialed it out.
The phone was quickly connected, it was the little nurse at the front desk who answered it, and Shen Taotao asked her hesitantly if she could still have acupuncture when her aunt visited, and got a negative answer.
Putting down the phone, Shen Taotao breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, she really didn't want to see Xu Chen'an now, she never felt that the eldest aunt was so timely.
However, the issue of the topic still needs to be resolved.
A few days later, when the planning meeting was held, the editor-in-chief really mentioned this topic of dietary therapy, and asked Shen Taotao by name if he had set the doctor.
The two ancestors and grandchildren of Zhixitang are not small, and they are also well-known in H City, if they can invite Xu Chenan, they will naturally have a certain amount of sales.
Shen Taotao was helpless, and said with a bitter face that Xu Chenan did not agree to be a consultant in person, but recommended another doctor in their medical center. It's just that she is still aggrieved in her heart, procrastinating, and she hasn't contacted Dr. Du yet.
The editor-in-chief was also there, and he was very interested when he heard it: "Xiao Shen, are you talking about Xiao Xu of Zhixi Hall?"
"Yes. Shen Taotao was suddenly named by the big guy and was taken aback.
"That's fine. The editor-in-chief smiled, revealing a look of being in his chest, "I'll arrange this, you just wait for my news." ”
There is a big guy who comes out, and the efficiency is really unusual, and the next day Shen Taotao received a notice that Xu Chenan had agreed.
Shen Taotao was still on fire in his heart, and he didn't react much when he heard the news, so he replied "received" happily and continued to do the work at hand.
Hey, who's who? She went to ask and kept saying that she was too busy to take a break, but didn't she agree?
But it is true that she has a mustache, but the work still has to be carried out as usual, and no matter how reluctant she is, Shen Taotao still has to go to see Xu Chen'an.
