Li Yan got up early in the morning, rode an electric car to the vegetable market to buy meat at five o'clock, cleaned it when he came back, put it in the marinade pot and began to marinate.

Braised meat is very time-consuming, there is no way to taste it for a few hours, and the mastery of the heat during the period is also quite critical, if the fire is big, the meat will be rotten, and if the fire is small, it is difficult to taste, and it is not gluten to eat.

Fortunately, there is an old man with experience, who guided the whole process, and was busy until nine o'clock in the morning, and finally it was ready to come out of the pot.

"Well, it looks pretty good......"

The large piece of braised pork, with a faint sauce color, looks like an appetite.

"Quick, get a piece and taste it." The old man said impatiently.

Li Yan cut a small piece, and before he could eat it, he heard someone outside the window: "Boss, how much is a pound of braised pork?" ”

Business came to the door so soon? Li Yan looked up, but it was Liu Xiaoya standing outside with a smile.

Liu Xiaoya, who got off the night shift, changed out of her white coat, jeans, T-shirt, and her hair fell out.

"Hehe, come in quickly......" Li Yan couldn't care about eating meat, so he hurriedly ran to open the small door and invited Liu Xiaoya in.

The store is not large, except for the glass window and the operation room, there is only a folding table. Li Yan invited Liu Xiaoya to sit down, and hurriedly ran to the window to cut a plate of braised pork.

"It's just out of the pot, how about it...... "Wow, it looks good." Liu Xiaoya praised.

"I don't know what it tastes like...... Li Yan said with a dry smile.

"Haven't you tasted it yet?" Liu Xiaoya said.

"No, it's just out of the pot, you give a review." Li Yan said with a smile.

"What's so embarrassing about that? You're the boss, you eat first. Liu Xiaoya said with a smile.

"Eat ...... together" Li Yan said, slamming his head again, "Tsk, I forgot to buy chopsticks......

Liu Xiaoya covered her mouth and smiled.

Without chopsticks, he could only use his hands, and Li Yan awkwardly took two disposable gloves.

"Well, don't say it, it tastes good." Liu Xiaoya pinched a piece of braised pork, and her eyes lit up after taking a bite.

"Thanks for the compliment, hehe." Li Yan also ate with a smile on his face, but he didn't expect the old man's recipe to be really good.

"Tsk, it's still almost tasteful, the braised soup is not old enough...... the old man sighed.

The older the soup, the more flavorful the marinated meat is, and the more delicious it is. It is said that in the past, the family that sold braised pork did not matter what field and real estate, and the brothers could break their heads in order to share an extra spoonful of old soup.

"Don't you see, you still have this skill?" Liu Xiaoya said with a smile.

"Blind toss, so find something to do and be busy." Li Yan said with a smile.

"It's fine to do some business, but don't get tired...... Liu Xiaoya said.

"yes, I just thought I'd be happy, maybe I'll get better." Li Yan said with a smile.

"Well, pay more attention, call me if you have something, anyway, it's close to the hospital, I'll go over for a check......up when I have time," Liu Xiaoya said, "Wait for Professor Cao's health to get better in a few days, I'll see if I can help you arrange another operation......

"Don't bother, Professor Cao's illness is estimated to have delayed a lot of surgery, let alone time...... Li Yan said.

Speaking of this topic, the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

After a pause, Liu Xiaoya suddenly stared at Li Yan and said, "Are you really intuition?" ”

Li Yan's heart trembled, and he forced a smile: "Then what else can it be?" You don't think I can be a prophet, do you? ”

"Your instincts are right." Liu Xiaoya smiled bitterly, "The person who snatched your place couldn't get off the operating table......"

"Uh......" Li Yan paused for a moment, and then said worriedly, "They didn't say they wanted the money back, did they?" ”

Liu Xiaoya couldn't help but laugh and said: "I heard that person is a big boss, and millions are nothing to others." You're a money fan! ”

"No one is too much money." Li Yan smiled dryly.

"Then why don't you just ask for it all? Why do you want to set up a fund for the hospital with two million? Liu Xiaoya said again.

"Well, actually, I regret it too." Li Yan smiled bitterly, "The main reason is that at that time, I thought that the two patients in the same ward were hopefully cured, but they couldn't do the operation without money......

"Well, I'll help get the hospital to use the money to fund them." Liu Xiaoya nodded, and said with a smile, "But if you do this, the hospital is very grateful to you, Director Liu of the department said, if you go to the hospital in the future, you can enjoy VIP treatment......" Li Yan smiled bitterly, I haven't heard that the hospital has VIP treatment.

"Okay, today I have to congratulate you on your opening and prosperous business." Liu Xiaoya smiled, took off her disposable gloves, and took out a red envelope from her bag.

"What is this for?" Li Yan hurriedly excused himself.

"A little heart, not much, add a color," Liu Xiaoya smiled, "If you don't accept it, you won't treat me as a friend!" ”

"I just treat you as a friend, so I can't accept it." Li Yan shouted.

"Take it!" Liu Xiaoya smiled, forcibly stuffed the red envelope into Li Yan's hand, and said, "I have to go home to catch up on sleep, so I won't help you." ”

"Wait a minute...... Li Yan said, pulling a large food bag, scooping a few pieces of meat from the pot, and said, "Take it back to your uncle and aunt to taste......

Liu Xiaoya cried and laughed: "Are you stupid? My parents are in my hometown, and I live in a rented house alone......"

They used to be high school classmates, and of course they are fellow countrymen.

"Uh......" Li Yan was embarrassed, "Then you can eat it yourself......"

"Can I eat so much alone? Besides, I don't live far away, and I just happened to be on the way, so when I want to eat I'll come over. Liu Xiaoya said with a smile.

"Okay, welcome at any time, you are a free VIP for life!" Li Yan said with a smile.

"Then it's decided, it's free for life!" Liu Xiaoya said, waved her hand at Li Yan, and walked straight away.

Free for life? The question is, how long do you have to live?

"Old man, hurry up, hurry up and help me heal!" Li Yan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"Tsk, I told you, it takes time!" The old man said, "You can't ignore objective conditions for the sake of a girl." ”

"You don't have to talk much, at least you have to prove that you can cure me, and I'll ask you when you'll see results?" Li Yan shouted, turning his head to look at the large mirror left by the barber shop on the wall, in which the old man poked his head out from behind his right shoulder.

"It's already working," the old man said presence, "I've helped you control the growth rate of the brain tumor in the past two days, and your lifespan has been extended......

"How much has it been extended?"

"Well, it's been almost three days...... old man said.

"Holy!" Li Yan flicked his wrists and wanted to fight, but the old man couldn't see it and touch it, so he didn't have a way to take him......

"What are you excited about? Isn't this just beginning? The old man said, "As long as you set up shop here and eat more food every day, I can help you control the growth rate of the tumor, and your life expectancy will continue to increase." ”

"But what you said was that you could heal me!" Li Yan gritted his teeth, feeling deceived.

"Yes," said the old man and the old god, "but in that case, you can't just eat......

"What else is needed?" Li Yan pressed the fire.

"Merit!" The old man smiled a little treacherously, "I am the Lord of the Land, ordinary small spells can be used directly, but powerful spells consume merit, if there is enough merit, a spell can completely eliminate your brain tumor!" ”

"Merit, how do you get it?" Li Yan was a little moved.

"Of course, if you do good deeds, punish evil and promote good, help others for pleasure or something, you can earn merit." The old man said with a smile.

Li Yan smacked his lips, why did he faintly feel in his heart that this was another pit?
