Chapter 380: Illness Comes
The editorial department of "Xiyan Weekly" has finally welcomed a new member.
The new members are older, and a few young people don't know whether to treat this newcomer as a new person or respect them as elders.
As the president, Wu Fan recognized it at a glance, and the identity of this old man in front of him, who was not good-looking and smiled very honestly, was not simple. However, since Boss Qin invited people and said that it would be good to be just an ordinary employee, Wu Fan did not show his flattery.
The beckoner went to clean up a clean table and sat down the new members.
"It's the first time you've ever been a journalist, and there are some things I can't teach you, so you have to do everything little by little. But there is a saying in our host, what a reporter pursues is a truth, especially two reporters who run current affairs, and this aspect is especially ......"
Lao Bai listened to the president's speech above, sat on the chair, but his eyes kept wandering.
In the words of modern people, this is the age to enter the workplace, fresh.
Lao Bai, whose real name is Yang Bai, only discovered the value of his life in his old age.
Although he was born in the royal family, he has never experienced the turmoil of the royal family, which is not easy.
He didn't catch up with the dumping of the first emperor's period, and he didn't experience the bloody past today, so he came over so cleanly and innocently. There is nothing wrong with being an idle prince for a lifetime, not everyone has big ambitions and wants to be the king.
At least in Lao Bai's world, as long as he can eat beautifully, he has nothing else to ask for.
The royal family did not treat him harshly, and he naturally had no hatred for the royal family. Let's just say that his princess was also set for him by the emperor. She is the daughter of a petty official and can be considerate. Although the appearance is not the best, it is quite in line with Lao Bai's heart.
Lao Bai is not very concerned about women, except for the princess, seven or eight concubines have been accepted in the backyard over the years.
The princess passed away more than ten years ago, and Aunt Liu also died of illness the year before last.
At this age, there is no hope. Who would have thought that he would still be able to work. It's really rare to be a food writer.
Lao Bai didn't care about the opposition of his children and grandchildren, and insisted on coming to 'work'.
Of course, the people of the prince's mansion have not resisted. I heard that my old man was going to be a food writer, so I hurriedly sent someone to send someone to send the details of "Xiyan Weekly". It's just that he didn't expect Qin Xiang to be big, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only stop fighting.
At this point, Lao Bai can be regarded as a member of "Xiyan Weekly".
In a teahouse on the street, Qin Xiang saw that Lao Bai didn't come out after entering, so he nodded with satisfaction.
She was really worried that the old man had never suffered in his life, and he would not be happy to arrange a job for him.
It's not that Qin Xiang doesn't want to find a younger one, it's really that the profession of food writer is really not easy to find in this era. For those who love to eat, how can they endure it without a few pieces of silver in their pockets. But ordinary people don't want to eat a good meal, even eating meat is like a New Year.
And all this is still based on the fact that the wind and rain are smooth in the western extension country, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is not as good as the scene of the previous dynasty when the rivers repeatedly burst their embankments, mourning all over the wilderness, and starving all over the land.
Only when you earn money and eat enough can you talk about enjoyment. In this way, most people living in modern times are lucky. Because in addition to filling their stomachs, they can also enjoy the delicious food.
Back to business. Since there is no such condition, it is not difficult to understand that ancient gourmets were generally born among the powerful.
chose Lao Bai, not only because he was a royal family, but it was more convenient to walk outside. is also because he is a gourmand himself and has a certain influence.
If it weren't for the fact that his descendants did the wrong thing in order to curry favor, Qin Xiang would have to work hard if he wanted to talk about Lao Bai.
Overall, Qin Xiang can be regarded as taking advantage of it.
But she is a businessman, so naturally she wants to put interests first.
Qin Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, and quietly added a note to himself in his heart.
Yes, she's a ruthless money-making machine.
"Ma'am." Pepe said with a disapproving face: "The tea outside is not good, it's better to go back and drink Huaguo tea." I heard that the skin will turn dark when drinking tea, otherwise it is better to drink white water. ”
The ruthless money-making machine is also a day of being controlled by its own handmaidens today.
But he said that since Lao Bai arrived at the newspaper office, he has been like a fish in water.
He is a gourmand and has his own unique views on food. But over the years, his feelings have been nothing to confide in except for his acquaintances. Now that he can put all this on paper, Lao Bai is simply full of literary thoughts, and his state of writing is simply stupid to several other 'reporters'.
"Lao Qin, do you say this old white is he...... Scribbled? ”
Qin Xiucai squinted his eyes and shook his head: "The person was personally recruited by the boss, there must be no problem." Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about whether you have completed the manuscript at hand. Don't rush to the fire every time you have to send it to the printing house, and beg grandpa to sue grandma. ”
As soon as the words fell, the other two immediately bowed their heads, pretending that nothing had happened.
Rush day, it's so miserable.
Qin Xiang returned home and took a nap for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Han Yunxiao sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Sneaky and scary."
Han Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't admit this 'slander': "It's not that I saw that you were asleep and wanted to cover you with a quilt." ”
Qin Xiang snorted lightly and said coquettishly unconsciously: "Why did you come back so early today?" I don't want to live in the barracks every day. How? Now do you know to come back and apologize, to know that you were wrong? ”
Han Yunxiao touched his nose and said helplessly, "Why have you been angry for so long this time?" "Read it
"As if I was happy to be angry." Qin Xiang looked unhappy and reached out to push him.
How could Han Yunxiao let her push, and held the woman's hand in the palm of his hand with his backhand, not allowing her to break free.
"Don't lose your temper, okay?" He coaxed softly, not minding 'to keep his breath down'. What can't you say to your own lady? That's not someone else, but a wife who has been with you for life.
"Where do I have a temper tantrum?"
"Okay, okay, you didn't make a fuss."
Qin Xiang didn't know what was wrong, there was a ball of anger in his heart, and he was uncomfortable. Now listening to him say this, there are still some grievances.
"How can I have ......" Before the words were finished, the circles under his eyes were half red.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Yunxiao hurriedly coaxed: "It's me who is wrong, it's me who is not good." ”
Qin Xiang was aggrieved in his heart, and he was very sad in his heart. Blinked, tears fell.
"Ignore me, let me cry alone for a while."
Han Yunxiao was reluctant to do so, so he could only hold her hand and coax her.
"I either want to cry by myself, or I can't help it, I'm really not that pretentious."
"But someone has wronged you?" Han Yunxiao looked at her with pity on his face, and gently wiped her tears with his sleeve. "No matter what's unhappy, I'm here."
"I am...... Too many things. ”
Qin Xiang has too many secrets in her heart, and crossing this matter is her biggest secret. She couldn't confide in anyone, so she held it in her heart, naturally she was sick.
She has a good life and hasn't provoked anyone, but some people don't like her and change the law to make her unhappy. Her husband is very good, but he has money and wants to snatch her husband away.
Han Yunxiao sighed and hugged her into his arms, "If you're too tired from doing business, take a break." ”
Qin Xiang cried for a while, and finally felt better. It's a shame, and I don't have much appetite for dinner.
Pepe didn't seem to see her slightly swollen eye circles, and persuaded her in a good voice, "Madame, just use a little, even if it's just a bowl of soup." If you don't eat, then how can you do it? ”
Qin Xiang didn't think it was serious to skip meals. Before the crossing, she was very busy, especially in the laboratory, often not taking care of eating, and being hungry was a common thing. The damage to her body in the long run is indeed serious, which is one of the reasons why she later resigned.
But it's really not a big deal to skip a meal once in a while.
"I'm not hungry and I don't have an appetite. You put away the food first, and then eat it when I'm hungry. ”
"Madame, just a bowl of soup? Otherwise, half a bowl of japonica porridge is fine. ”
Looking at Shang Peipei's earnest eyes, Qin Xiang's refusal was not easy to say. She wasn't a pretentious person in the first place, but she cried a lot today, and she didn't feel comfortable all over, so she had no appetite. But Pepe is for her good, and she can't refuse this kindness.
"That's it, let's just serve a bowl of japonica porridge."
Enduring the impetuousness in his heart, Qin Xiang pulled his shoes and carried his skirt to the ground.
Pepe hurriedly called someone to prepare. It is not enough to have japonica porridge alone, but also to have side dishes to accompany the meal. A table was set up sprinkled, but just to serve a bowl of porridge.
"This is a salted duck egg made according to the recipe taught by the lady, and today it is time to open the altar. Deliberately let the kitchen cook over a slow fire according to the method you taught. Chef Hu tasted one, saying that the taste was very different, not salty but fragrant, and specially cut a few for you to eat with porridge. ”
The roasted duck protein is no longer white, but has a faint light yellow, especially the egg yolk. The color is much darker than the ordinary salted duck eggs, and there is a strong oily fragrance.
Salted duck eggs are a side dish of Chinese people and have a long history.
When Qin Xiang used to eat breakfast, he liked to take a salted duck egg and eat it directly with chopsticks.
Although fried dough sticks and soy milk, steamed buns and rice porridge are not necessarily very nutritious, the food history of thousands of Chinese people has made them accustomed to eating like this.
No matter how nutritious bread and milk are, it can't compare to a simple tofu brain.
Qin Xiang looked at the oily egg yolk, and then took the chopsticks.
Take a sip, and the taste is really good. I ate half a bowl of porridge with duck eggs.
"I can't eat it, don't persuade it."
Pei Pei frowned, asked people to take down the meal, and waited for Qin Xiang to go to the bed. After going out, he went to find Han Yunxiao.
"Madame, is there dinner?"
I reluctantly ate half a bowl of porridge after persuasion. The slave maid thought that she should invite a doctor to come to the door. Last time, Mrs. said that she had an unhealthy appetite and said that it was a bitter summer, and the general should not be used to Mrs. and let her be willful. How can this man who eats whole grains not get sick? ”
It is not new for the two masters of the family to often have no status in front of a little maid. Besides, Pepe was never for himself, so Han Yunxiao naturally had no objections.
"Please." He paused, and then said, "Go and ask Dr. Zhou from the Compassion Hall, his medical skills are outstanding." ”
Pepe promised, and when he arrived at the door, he said: "The general should go and accompany Madame, she has been very busy lately, and her heart is also depressed." The general is not in the mansion, and no one speaks to Madame, so Madame will be happy as soon as you come back. ”
