Chapter 64
The good time of the afternoon passed leisurely, Xiangru said goodbye to Doctor Shao, today Doctor Shao was in a good mood, there was no small test, Xiangru was happy to slip away quickly, lest Doctor Shao change her mind and ask her to go back to the exam.
Thinking about the appointment in the afternoon, but the doctors in the hospital hadn't finished yet, so Xiangru went to the toilet first, and then slipped to the front yard. Only then did he get out of the corner 'door', and in the afternoon, the little eunuch who had seen each other came out from behind the pillars, saluted Xiangru, and led Xiangru outside, out of the main courtyard and then around to the back kitchen.
Xiangru head back to the kitchen of the hospital, when walking outside the hospital, I thought it was a yard for the office, and when I stepped into the 'door' of the hospital, I knew that it was the kitchen, which was several times larger than the kitchen of the 'female' hospital, and a group of little eunuchs in the courtyard were busy preparing dinner, and people came and went very lively.
The little eunuch only led Xiangru into the courtyard and 'handed over' Banxia, who was waiting in the courtyard, and he went down.
"The girl is here, but wait for it." Banxia took a few steps to greet him and saluted.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Don't dare, we all understand that we are very 'excited' to be able to come." Banxia led Xiangru to the porch outside the stove room, "Girl, wait a while, I'll call Chef Liu out, he has something urgent to find you." ”
After speaking, Banxia entered the stove room, and after a few snaps of his fingers, a middle-aged man of medium height and fat came out after Banxia, and he was still wiping his hands and face while walking with a sweat towel in his hand.
"Liu Dawu, please girl." The cook's voice was full of energy.
"You're Chef Liu? You're welcome, Banxia said that you have something urgent to find me? "The other party is a cook hired by the people, and the number of Xiangru gifts is in place.
"That's the case, my mother is sick, and the doctors who have seen several families have said no, at most half a year, take advantage of this last time to give the old man some good food and last filial piety. But because of the relationship between the illness, the mother's appetite has been greatly reduced, and in the past half a month, she has been hanging herself by putting a little salt in the white rice porridge, and everyone is so thin that she is out of shape, and she really has no way, thinking that the girl will open a meal, so she cheekily begged the girl for help in the middle of the summer. Liu Dawu is a rough person, he has never spoken so culturally, he is tired of speaking, and he tore off the sweat towel to wipe his face.
"Yo, I didn't expect it to be like this, take care." Xiangru never thought that it would be like this, but it was really an urgent matter.
"Is Ling Ci still taking 'medicine'? I want to look at the 'medicine' prescription, and I can't prescribe a prescription that is mutually restrictive. ”
"Yes, yes, take it." While speaking, Liu Dawu took out a well-folded piece of paper from his arms, shook it open, handed it to Xiangru with both hands, and sighed, "This is the prescription prescribed by the doctor to continue his life, and now it can be delayed for a day." ”
"How is Ling Ci's 'spirit' body now? Is it still normal? Is this soup 'medicine' for Ling Ci to drink by himself or do you want to feed it? ”
"It's okay to be mentally energetic, and she can still do some simple housework, if she wasn't so thin, I can't tell that her time is short." Medicine' can also drink by itself, but there is no appetite to eat, in addition to the 'medicine' only eat porridge, eat not much, in the morning the family cooked as breakfast white porridge, everyone eats the rest of the she can eat for a day. She can't eat anything else, and occasionally a few mouthfuls of vegetable soup can make us happy. Liu Dawu thought of his seriously ill old lady and felt sad.
Xiangru nodded, bowing her head to study the 'medicine' prescription.
The prescription is indeed a good prescription, considering the patient's lack of appetite, there are spleen-strengthening and appetizing 'medicine' materials in it, but listening to Liu Dawu's statement, it seems that this 'medicine' prescription did not work for his mother, and the terminally ill patient who is so good that he can still do housework is not hungry and panicked with only a little white porridge every day?
"Chef Liu, does Ling Cizhi not know about his condition?"
"I don't know, no one told her." Liu Dawu shook his head resolutely.
"But Ling Ci has a number in his heart, right?"
"This ...... It's hard to say...... Miss Xiangru, what do you want to say? ”
"Fang Zi is fine, but I think the root cause of Ci's lack of appetite is not her illness, but her 'spirit'. I believe that no one in Chef Liu's family will say anything to Ling Ci, but she knows her own things, Ling Ci may have already noticed something, she may not want to drag you down anymore if she doesn't eat, like Ling Ci, if she drags on for a while, her body will really not be able to hold on. ”
Liu Dawu immediately panicked when he heard this, "Miss Xiangru, how can this be good?" ”
"The only way to do this is to persuade the old man well and arouse her to survive, I won't open this recipe for the time being, when does Ling Ci really want to eat, come to me again." Xiangru returned the 'medicine' prescription to Liu Dawu.
"I know, thank you, girl, I'll go home and think about it." Liu Dawu folded the 'medicine' prescription again and put it in his arms, and turned around and walked into the stove room with a solemn face.
Banxia saw that Liu Dawu didn't even say goodbye and left on his own, and hurriedly apologized to Xiangru, "Miss Xiangru, I'm really embarrassed, Chef Liu ...... him"
Xiangru waved her hand, "It's okay, I understand." Are you free right now? Show me how to get back to the 'female' hospital. ”
"Okay, come here, I'll take you down the path we usually take to deliver food."
Under Banxia's guidance, Xiangru returned to the kitchen of the 'female' medical hall smoothly, and when she appeared, everyone in the kitchen wondered how Xiangru could come out of here.
Xiangru didn't explain, so she said to take a shortcut, and then swaggered out of the kitchen yard 'door', and then returned to the courtyard where she lived through the 'medicine' corner 'door'.
After washing her face in her room, Xiangru carried the two boxes of wedding cakes she brought back and went upstairs to meet her master, and it happened that Xia Yipo's sisters were also chatting here, so two boxes of wedding cakes were given to Xia Yipo's sisters and one to the master.
Xie Xia, a local of the three doctors in Beijing, grew up with delicious food in their families since childhood, and naturally knew the names of the well-known cake houses in the city.
In fact, the wedding cake is not a delicious thing, most of the time it is an auspicious decoration, but the famous store is the style of the famous store, the wedding cake is made into six pairs of different 'flower' flowers with molds, the size of the moon cake, it looks like a crusty cake, but you can bite into it and find that it is really sweet and soft, which makes people never forget it after eating.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten local food, and I miss it so much, I forgot the taste of oil cakes on the street." The Great Xia Doctor swallowed two pieces of bread in one go, and sighed with emotion.
"When you go out on the winter solstice, eat as much as you want, and don't let us feel cold." Doctor Xiao Xia flew an eye knife to her cousin, and at the same time reached out and took a piece of wedding cake to eat.
"If the Great Xia Doctor likes it, why don't you ask Xiangru to talk to the Imperial Doctors and ask them to bring in some delicious food from outside?" Madder came up with an idea.
The eyes of the three doctors immediately lit up, "Yes, why didn't you think of it earlier!" "The Great Xia doctor repented of the case.
"But you can, but not too often, it's better to ask the doctors for help during the New Year's Festival, and it will be easier to succeed, and at best, you can only bring in a small amount of snacks, and it is impossible to ask them to bring in wine and food." Xiangru knew that it was one thing for the imperial doctors to hurt themselves, but it was not feasible to ask someone to do this.
"That's enough, we don't force it, the cooking skills of the chefs are getting more and more unbearable, and people have to have some hope for life." The Great Xia Doctor's face was so wrinkled that she could wring out bitter water.
"Why don't I go and ask the kitchen cook in the hospital for a few recipes? There is one thing I have never said, it turns out that except for our cook, the other places in the palace that need to use cooks are all hired from the people, the cooking skills are so good, they can make anything delicious outside, and the meals in the hospital are countless times better than the 'women's' hospital. ”
After Xiangru finished speaking, she looked up with her little face and closed her eyes slightly, and was savoring the snacks she ate in the afternoon, when she suddenly found that the atmosphere around her was wrong, why didn't anyone speak?
When she opened her eyes again, Xiangru suddenly had the urge to pull out her 'legs' and run away.
The master and the four of them glared at her with their eyes, grinding their teeth.
"You only said such a convenient thing now!" The spicy Daxia doctor couldn't bear it, so one pounced, and even the other three jumped out together, stretching out her arms to pinch Xiangru. Although they have various relationships with the senior management cadres of the hospital, no one has ever told them about the kitchen, so it's no wonder they don't know.
"I didn't mean to hide it~" The Great Xia Doctor was imposing, Xiangru didn't dare to deal with it, so she got up and retreated to the 'door'.
"If it's not intentional, it's intentional, and if you don't report it, you're bullying the teacher, look where you're going!" The Great Xia Doctor sighed, and rushed straight to Xiangru with a fierce momentum.
Xiangru jumped her feet and rushed out of the 'door', "Wow wow, I was wrong, spare me......"
Madder moved smartly, rushed to the front and grabbed the hem of Xiangru's clothes, dragged her, and insisted on the arrival of reinforcements, the four of them put Xiangru back to the round table, pressed her to sit down, and began to 'force' confession.
"Say, what good things did you eat in the Tai Hospital?"
"It's nothing, the ingredients are the same, like the lion's head is the size of a baby's fist, powdery, smooth and tender, and the soup bibimbap is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue. There is also the 'chicken' soup, the whole 'chicken' stewed out two cups of soup, skimming off the oil slick, it is delicious and not greasy, there are so many doctors in the hospital, and dozens of hens will be used to stew the 'chicken' soup. And that daily lunch, I have eaten for so many days, and I have not eaten the repeated 'flower' pattern. And that ......."
When it comes to eating Xiangru, there are a lot of words, and he talks eloquently, but he sees that the faces of the four people opposite are getting more and more ugly, and he is silent as he speaks, and he timidly shrinks his shoulders, and his pitiful little eyes sweep over the four people.
"You ...... You okay......? ”
"Xiangru, how does the master usually treat you?" Doctor Xie put her palm on Xiangru's shoulder, and pulled the corners of her mouth without smiling.
"The master treats the disciple very well."
"Xiangru, how do you usually treat you?" The two Xia Doctor Ladies put one shoulder to shoulder and one to the head, and they also smiled fiercely.
"The uncles treat the disciples very well."
"Xiangru, how do I usually treat you, senior sister?" Madder held Xiangru's face in both hands, closing the distance between herself and eye to eye.
"Senior sister is also very good to junior sister." The situation is stronger than people, Xiangru is as well-behaved as a rabbit baby, but the rabbit will spill when he is in a hurry.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll go and ask the cooks for more recipes, and bring them back and ask the cooks to cook them." Isn't it just for this ......! Really, as for this, the image of the master, uncle, and sister is all gone.
"Well, that's good, but we don't trust the cooks. The master has something to do with the disciples, why don't you learn a few dishes with the cooks and come back to cook them for us? With your current status, isn't the kitchen a place for you to come and go freely? "Lady Xie knows how well this apprentice's cooking skills are.
"Master is right, Xiangru, we trust you." Madder followed in the footsteps of the master.
"Since your master has said so, then we won't say anything." The two uncles waited to sit back and enjoy it
"Yes, the disciple knows." Xiangru bowed her head and agreed.
Lowering her head made it impossible to see her expression, so Doctor Xie and the others didn't know that Xiangru was actually smiling on her face.
If she wants her to be in charge of filial piety to the master, doesn't it just satisfy her stomach, and occasionally make a soup can also test her learning results by the way. Kill two birds with one stone, why not
