The morning sun was a little warm and a little light, just like a moderately spicy hot pot. It was not spicy at first, but after a while, it would suddenly become spicy.
Zuo Cidian's legs trembled as he sat on the chair with the most sunlight. He leaned back quietly like an old tortoise that was being nourished.
"How is it? Is it interesting to operate with Ling Ran?" Doctor Zhou came in with a swagger. He bought a pork trotter, took a glass of milk, sat opposite Zuo Cidian, and ate happily.
"It's alright." Zuo Cidian did not want to show weakness. He replied softly and asked, "Are you here to wait for surgery?"
"Me? I don't need it. I'm just here to rest. "Doctor Zhou smiled.
Zuo Cidian's expression froze. 'Is this doctor resting in the Operating Area another surgery maniac?'
"Where's Ling Ran?" Doctor Zhou asked curiously.
"He's still operating." Zuo Cidian felt inexplicably ashamed.
He was supposed to follow the leader's footsteps, but he did not expect the leader to still be working, while he came out to rest.
Doctor Zhou felt that it was only natural. He said happily, "You're not done? How many surgeries did you follow? "
Zuo Cidian whispered, "Three. I think there were a total of four surgeries this morning."
"And then?"
"Doctor Ling thought that I'm tired, so he asked me to come out." Zuo Cidian sighed. He was indeed exhausted, but he could not bear to leave the operating room in such a manner.
Doctor Zhou chuckled. "Ling Ran is very energetic. He can perform twenty to thirty hours of continuous surgeries. Don't compare yourself to him. In my opinion, he's just taking advantage of his young age. Otherwise …"
Zuo Cidian agreed with him, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
He did not even manage to please Ling Ran today, so how could he offend him?
"Um … Doctor Zhou, how do you usually eat at noon?" Zuo Cidian saw that Doctor Zhou was quite easy to talk to, so he asked.
"Order takeout, eat in the operating theater, eat pork trotters, or go to the cafeteria. What's wrong? Do you want to treat us? " Doctor Zhou was a very lazy person, but his gaze was very sharp. He glanced at Zuo Cidian and said, "I suggest that you stop messing around. Of course, if you want to give it a try, I won't object to it."
"Um … is it a taboo to treat others?" Zuo Cidian asked curiously.
Doctor Zhou shook his head. "There's no such thing as taboo or taboo. However, if Ling Ran is craving for food, he'll order takeout. Usually, people will send him food too. He doesn't have time to eat out."
"Eating in the hospital? Then … he also doesn't drink? "
"No."
Zuo Cidian hummed in a muffled voice. He felt as if 70% of his power had been cut off.
In the town hospital, Zuo Cidian's best achievement was one liter of alcohol. Although that one liter of alcohol only lasted in his stomach for ten minutes, it was still one liter. Usually, if he was given a seat and allowed to eat some food, Zuo Cidian could drink one and a half liters of wine without collapsing.
The reason why Zuo Cidian was able to become a cadre at the level of a unit was because of his ability to drink and drink.
Doctor Zhou chuckled and continued to chew on the pork trotter.
After Lu Wenbin came back from Shanghai, he had improved in making pork trotters. In terms of taste, he still needed to pursue the coexistence of toughness and softness in pig trotters. He needed to find a balance between melting in the mouth and being firm. In terms of the marinade and taste, Lu Wenbin had absorbed some southern flavors and increased the use of sugar by two levels. Not only would a small amount of sweetness not make the pork trotter taste sweeter, but it would also make the pork trotter taste more delicious, which was extremely rare.
Zuo Cidian watched Doctor Zhou eat so happily, and a lot of thoughts surged in his mind.
"Ordering takeout or eating in the hospital won't be as good as eating out, right?" Zuo Cidian said with a chuckle.
Doctor Zhou smiled but did not say anything. He did not even explain.
Zuo Cidian frowned and decided to follow his usual style.
He went out and found a hotel. He then went in to look for the manager and swiped his credit card.
In order to successfully leave the town hospital, he finally chose to leave with nothing. As a forty-year-old man, he did not care about fairness. He only cared about reality. The limit of his credit card was the last of his capital.
With his ability to serve people all year round, Zuo Cidian ordered a few delicious, inexpensive, and good-looking dishes. He put them into beautiful lunchboxes, took a taxi, and rushed back to the hospital.
When he arrived at the waiting room in the Operating Area, Ling Ran walked out of the operating theater after waiting for a while.
Zuo Cidian immediately stood up and greeted him. He smiled and said, "Doctor Ling, thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, I'm a little late today," Ling Ran said as he touched his stomach.
Zuo Cidian praised Ling Ran in his heart and quickly said, "Doctor Ling, if the surgery is over, why don't we eat outside?"
If Ling Ran agreed to eat outside, Zuo Cidian would naturally be able to show off his skills.
Ling Ran was wearing scrubs. It could be said to be a super simple version of a T-shirt, but he was still so handsome that his ankles seemed to be shining.
He smiled at a few young nurses who passed by and took the opportunity to take selfies. He then turned around and said to Zuo Cidian, "I'm not going."
Zuo Cidian reacted quickly. Before he could finish his sentence, he first bent down and said, "Then I'll order some takeout. Let's eat together?"
"I'll order it myself." Ling Ran did not give Zuo Cidian a chance to explain. He found a chair in the corner and sat down. Then, he took out his phone and opened the takeout app.
Zuo Cidian could not figure out Ling Ran's attitude. He thought, 'Why don't we wait? The dishes I prepared are not meant to be eaten in a hurry anyway. I'll wait for Ling Ran to order takeout before I take them out.'
Twenty minutes later, a Mercedes-Benz minivan painted in yellow with an ugly kangaroo on both sides of it drove into the hospital.
Ling Ran answered a phone call and hummed a few times before he said, "I won the second-class Koi Set Meal. Let's eat in the waiting room outside."
Doctor Zhou, Lu Wenbin, and Yu Yuan followed without hesitation.
Zuo Cidian hesitated for a moment before he followed obediently. He then whispered to Doctor Zhou, "What's this second-class Koi Set Meal?"
Doctor Zhou remembered the stories that others told him. He pretended to be deep in thought and said, "Doctor Zuo, have you ever thought about this question … If a farmer sees a rabbit crashing into a tree stump in front of his house every day, will his outlook on life, the world, and values change?"
"This … I've heard that there are fish wells in some places, and fish will come out of the wells in your house after some time." The middle-aged man, who had lost his imagination, tried his best to keep up with Doctor Zhou's pace.
Doctor Zhou chuckled and gave Zuo Cidian a look that said, "You're just making a fuss out of nothing." He quickened his steps and followed Ling Ran into the waiting room.
"Doctor Ling!" Tian Qi stood in the middle of the three riders who were dressed in yellow robes.
She wore a fitting yellow shirt with a large kangaroo pattern on her chest. She also wore black fingerless gloves, which made her look a little mischievous.
"Hello." Ling Ran flashed a gentle smile.
"I'm working at Meituan. It's an internship!" Tian Qi smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescents. She only patted her head after she was reminded by the rider behind her and said, "Wait a minute. Today's Koi Set Meal is rice with abalone sauce and stir-fried meat with Hangzhou peppers."
Then, the other two riders skillfully took off their yellow hats and put on white top hats. They turned on the gas stove, unfolded a plain chopping board, placed a crock on the gas stove, and scattered a bunch of abalones that were the size of a palm. They shaved the abalones on the spot and cut them into patterns. Then, they cooked them and prepared to pour the soup stock into the pot.
On the other side, a whole beef tenderloin that weighed about four to five kilograms was spread out. The best ones were cut into strips, and a big iron pot that could fit four rabbits was heated and oil was poured into it. Sounds of clamoring could be heard.
