Chapter 395: The Little Cannon Fodder in the Rebirth Story 42
Chen Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry. After decorating the small house, she started to go to work on time and leave work on time! She did not interact with other people. She asked the director for the work to be done every day, and started to slack off after finishing it!
Now it was not her turn to examine patients, let alone treat them! She was also happy and relaxed. During her break, she moved a stool, dug up some earthworms, and went to the river to find a shady place to fish.
After fishing for a while and catching a few small crucian carps, Chen Xiaoxiao used her mental power to scan the river! She would make nests wherever there were bigger fish! The results were also gratifying. After a while, she caught a grass carp weighing more than two kilograms!
This gave her more confidence, and she then caught two more fish. Thinking it was enough for today, she threw all the baits into the river and prepared to put away her fishing rod!
On the way back, she accidentally discovered a lot of river shrimps by the water, which made her very happy. She ate fish today, but she was planning to catch shrimps next time she came!
Chen Xiaoxiao also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some side dishes. Then she started killing the fish. Soon the fresh aroma of the fish wafted out.
A few old men playing chess in a small pavilion not far behind her kitchen sniffed. "Who's cooking? Why does it smell so good?" "Yes, I heard it was a new girl. The food smells so good." "Girl? Where is she from? It smells like fish!" "Medical department! Are you a nurse?" "Not sure!"
What they didn't know was that after that day, the old men's noses had been suffering. After eating in the cafeteria for a few days, Chen Xiaoxiao's mouth was bland and she couldn't stand the bland food, so she started cooking herself.
So in order to make up for the wronged tongue in the past few days, of course, the food was delicious! After that, every day I changed the taste to eat braised pork, spicy fish, pickled fish. This day, I went too late and there was no meat, so I bought the remaining pig head, went to the pharmacy to get some medicine, and made some seasonings to stew it.
Once this overbearing fragrance wafts out, it makes people salivate. For those old men who have been taking medicine and eating light meals all year round, they finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran over to knock on Chen Xiaoxiao's door!
"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Chen Xiaoxiao, who was stewing pig's head, saw several uncles as soon as she opened the door!
"Little girl, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good?" an old man with crutches asked with a smile!
"Oh, I think the food in the cafeteria is a bit light. I'm not used to it, so I thought of cooking it myself!" Chen Xiaoxiao understood why they came when she heard it!
She was also a little amused and helpless. She didn't expect that her first interaction with the old men was not because of her medical skills, but because of her cooking skills.
"Haha, we are really like-minded! You also think the food in the cafeteria is not tasty?" Another old man clapped his hands and laughed.
"It's not that it doesn't taste good, I just think it's a little light. I personally prefer food with a stronger flavor. So I made a braised pig's head today. Would you like to try it, uncles?" Chen Xiaoxiao looked at the six or seven old men and thought it would be okay to cut a plate of it for them to taste.
"That's great! Ever since I came here, I feel like I've lost my sense of taste."
Chen Xiaoxiao asked them to wait for a moment, and she moved out the small table and two long benches. Then she went to the kitchen to take out the braised pig's head from the pot, cut a plate and sent it to the uncles!
The braised pork head meat made by Chen Xiaoxiao is attractive in color and appetite. When a piece of meat enters the mouth, it is fat but not greasy, and the meat is delicious. Every time you chew it, you can feel the delicateness and elasticity of the meat.
The seasoning was just right, and every bite was so delicious that people couldn't help but not want to stop! Chen Xiaoxiao's portion was just right, with only two or three slices for each uncle! A plate of pig head meat was quickly finished.
"It's delicious, little girl. Who transferred you to the medical department? Did they send you to the wrong place? You should go to the cafeteria! It's a waste of your cooking skills if you don't go to the cafeteria."
"It's delicious, little girl. This braised meat is so authentic! Do you have any more? I'll give you some money and meat coupons to exchange!"
"I want one too! It doesn't matter if it's a meat ticket or any other ticket, I have them all!"
"Yes, it's delicious! It tastes a hundred times better than it smells! I want to change it too!"
"I want to change it too. I won't change too much. Just the plate from before will do. I'll take it back to eat with wine!"
.........
Chen Xiaoxiao watched as the old men started to pay for their tickets.
"My dears, it's not that I don't give you more. This is a heavy-oil and heavy-flavored food after all. I'm afraid it will conflict with the medicine you take. It's okay to taste a small amount, but if you eat too much, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it!
Otherwise, you can go back and ask your attending physician to see if you can eat it? After all, health is the most important thing, right? "Chen Xiaoxiao quickly began to comfort them, don't let anything go wrong, she can't take the responsibility!
"No way? How could taking medicine conflict with eating meat? Little girl, you are also from the medical department?" An old man immediately began to question.
"Gentlemen, you should go ask first, it's safer this way! Although I'm from the medical department, I don't know your physical condition. Anyway, I won't run away. If it's edible, you can bring the meat to me and I'll help braise it!"
After the old men left, Chen Xiaoxiao closed the door and started eating and enjoying the braised meat!
Just after finishing her meal, an old man brought some snacks, fruits and canned food to her, saying that they were for her! He also took away all her remaining pork head meat. The old man who came a little late asked her to braise some meat tomorrow. They asked, and he said that it was okay as long as it was not too much!
The next day at noon, when Chen Xiaoxiao came back, she saw seven or eight old men waiting for her at her door with meat and various food for her!
Chen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to bring out the coal stove, put yesterday's brine into a small pot, boiled it, added seasoning, and started to braise the meat for the old men! She let the old men watch the fire while she cooked lunch for herself on the small stove.
She had fried eggs, crucian carp, tofu soup, and chili fried river shrimp for lunch! There was also a very discerning old man who stopped watching the braised meat and took over the fire from Chen Xiaoxiao's cooking!
The fireman originally just wanted to help out a little, but when he saw the milky white crucian carp soup, his eyes widened! This, this looks delicious! He wanted to eat it so much!
"Little girl, can this crucian carp be cooked with eggs?"
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at his expression and glanced outside, seeing that all the uncles were gathered around the pot of braised meat. She took a small bowl, scooped some fish soup and tofu for him, and made a gesture to stop him from talking!
The old man took it, blew on it, and took a sip carefully. It was so delicious. The tofu was well-seasoned and very tender, and the fish was also fresh and delicious. He took another sip with great enjoyment.
"Little girl, go find another place! I'll ask my leader to arrange for you to work in the cafeteria?" The old man suggested seriously!
"I don't want to! The medical department is so relaxing! I don't want to work in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is much more tiring than the medical department! The salary and benefits are not as good as the medical department."
"But if you join the medical department at such a young age, you still have to work hard to gain experience. By the time you succeed, you don't know when. If you join the cafeteria, it will be different. You can directly become the head chef!
You have such good cooking skills, it would be a waste if you don't go to the cafeteria! How does the saying go, know people and use them well, yes, that's the word. It's like asking a person who holds a pen to touch a gun, will that work? "The old man advised Chen Xiaoxiao with great sorrow!
"You can't say that, uncle. How do you know that my medical skills are not as good as my cooking skills? You should know that I can get in here after going through many difficulties." Chen Xiaoxiao strongly disagreed with the uncle's point of view!
"Little girl, you are already old, how good can your medical skills be? Even if you have been studying medical books since you were born, you have only been studying for a dozen years. How can you compare with those old men? Aren't people with good medical skills supposed to be old men with white hair and beards?" The old man didn't believe what Chen Xiaoxiao said!
"Uncle, it's wrong to judge people by appearance! You have to believe that there are geniuses in this world." Chen Xiaoxiao knew it was like this. People believed that if a person has no hair on his face, he will not be reliable! With her innocent face, no one would believe that she had superb medical skills.
"Well, little genius girl, show me what's wrong with me! Don't just talk and do nothing!" The old man stretched out his hand in front of him!
Chen Xiaoxiao was not polite either. She took the chopsticks in one hand and took the pulse with the other hand. After two minutes, she withdrew her hand!
"Uncle, you must have been shot in the left shoulder, so your hand would be numb at night, right? Your legs were severely frostbitten, so it must be painful and you can't sleep at night, right? Your waist has also suffered a serious injury, so you can't straighten up when you bend over, and you can't bend down when you straighten up, right? You also have problems with your lungs, and there are some other parts as well..." Chen Xiaoxiao listed all the problems while eating!
The old man didn't take it seriously at first, but then he became more and more serious and finally he was shocked. He didn't expect that this little girl was so capable.
"Little girl, have you seen my pulse record in the medical department? Or have you examined me?" The old man looked at him with suspicion.
"Tsk, do I have so much free time? What am I supposed to see when I don't even know your names? Besides, your pulse records are confidential. How can I see them if I'm not of high enough rank? The leaders of the medical department have the same view as you. I'm just a small errand boy in the medical department!" Chen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes ungracefully!
"Then do you know how to cure it?" The old man also began to drink the soup casually.
"I know! But your old injuries can't be cured in a day or two. This requires a long process." Chen Xiaoxiao continued to eat his meal without raising his head.
The old man was also drinking his soup while thinking about something.
"Little girl, let's not talk about other things for now. Let me discuss something with you. Can I work with you in the future? I'll eat whatever you cook and eat. All the money you use to buy food will belong to me!" He didn't know whether his medical skills were good or not, but he had seen his cooking skills with his own eyes and tasted them with his own mouth.
"That won't do! If I team up with you, the other uncles will have objections. I can't cook for so many people. Besides, I have no taboos. Each of you has a different physical condition. What if you get sick from eating? I can't take the responsibility!" Are you kidding? She learned cooking only to satisfy her own appetite, not to make a living!
"Little girl, can you go and take a look at the braised meat? Sure! Old Yang, I was wondering why you disappeared? Turns out you were hiding here and eating secretly!" Another old man pushed the door open!
Chen Xiaoxiao and the old man quickly swallowed the last mouthful of soup. In fact, the ingredients she prepared were all for one person! It would be embarrassing to give the old man a small bowl and eat in front of him.
"Old Yu, no way, I just drank a bowl of tea! I chatted with the girl for a while, and seeing that she is a good cook, I am trying to persuade her to change her career and work in the canteen."
"Oh, right! Why didn't I think of that? I think it's possible. Very possible! We old men can jointly testify that your cooking skills are good enough to make you a chef."
"I thought so too, but she refused! She said that working in the cafeteria was too tiring and the pay was not as good as that in the medical department. She also said that her cooking skills were not as good as her medical skills!" The old man said everything Chen Xiaoxiao said!
"Really? You're young, but you have such a big mouth! But, come over and see how the meat is. We just poked it with chopsticks and it can go in." An old man has been craving for the braised meat after smelling it for so long.
"Uncle, with your strength, you can pierce a live pig with a chopstick even if I give you one! This one needs to be cooked for another half an hour!" Chen Xiaoxiao twitched her lips when she saw the several chopstick holes of varying sizes on the meat.
"Little girl, we have heard about your cooking skills for several days and know that they are very good. I just heard you say that your medical skills are better than your cooking skills! If you can let me sleep well tonight, I will believe you." Another old man looked at her and said!
"I won't do that. You have your own special attending physicians, and I dare not challenge their authority. I'm new here and I dare not offend anyone. Uncle, please don't harm me!" I have been here for a month and have a general understanding of the doctors in the medical department.
The three or four attending doctors all looked down on her, and she felt as if she was looking at something dirty that had soiled her eyes. She didn't know if their medical skills were good, but their medical ethics were not good at all.
"What are you afraid of? As long as you can let me sleep well tonight, I can protect you. My doctor told me not to eat this and not to touch that. He made me drink porridge every day, and I have been in prison for two years!
After so long of treatment, it can neither relieve my pain nor let me sleep peacefully. It's not as good as the doctor Li who treated us before. At least he can relieve my pain. Although it will relapse, at least I can feel comfortable for a few days!
But what about this one now? He is said to be an outstanding student who graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but I don’t see how he is outstanding! "The old man was full of complaints when talking about his doctor. It was probably because of the unbearable pain and difficulty sleeping for a long time, his temper became very bad.
