"The broth is our hotel's specialty. It's stewed with old hens …" The chef with the tall hat deliberately introduced the dish and collected the juice from the broth.
Then, he poured a bowl of rice on each plate, poured the broth over it, and served it with a cooked abalone and cooked asparagus. That was a bowl of rice with abalone sauce.
The chef at the side quickly stir-fried a plate of beef tenderloin with pepper and placed it at the center of the table for everyone to change their taste.
Tian Qi also took the opportunity to sit opposite Ling Ran. There were six of them, and each of them had a bowl of rice with abalone sauce and a plate of beef tenderloin with pepper.
Tian Qi took a pair of chopsticks and took small bites of the rice. Her eyes were so bright that they looked like stars.
Doctor Zhou watched with envy. He asked Tian Qi, "The income from an internship is very low, right? Is it enough for your expenses?"
"Internships are for accumulating experience," Tian Qi said seriously. "As for expenses, there's a special allowance."
Doctor Zhou was speechless. "Living expenses don't fall from the sky, right?"
"Sometimes they do." Tian Qi thought about it and said, "Recently, I used the education funds my family gave me to buy a company. After the company was restructured, the stock price rose very quickly. The CFO said that if I get a bonus at the end of the year, the money I get can not only cover my family's education expenses, but also add a large sum of money to the family trust fund."
Doctor Zhou's eyes twitched. "Family trust fund?"
"Yes, I have to put a large sum of money into the family trust fund so that I can do whatever I want. Otherwise, I have to listen to my family's arrangements and become a director of some boring company or work somewhere." Tian Qi shook her head and said, "My eldest cousin only saved enough money when he was thirty-six years old, and he resigned from his position as a director of a bank. If I sell all the shares of that company now, I should be able to exceed the stipulated amount."
"Forget it, I asked the wrong question." Doctor Zhou was afraid that if he continued to twitch, he would have a stroke.
Zuo Cidian did not understand the situation at all, but he wanted to understand the situation around him, so he could not help but ask, "Did you sell the shares of that company?"
"No," Tian Qi answered softly.
"Shouldn't it be better to pay off the money first?"
"There's no need. I'm still studying. I can't go anywhere anyway." Tian Qi smiled and said, "It's not that we have to return the money. The family trust fund will give everyone money every month. After that, when we meet the requirements, we can withdraw the money for our own use."
"I see." Zuo Cidian chuckled foolishly. "If I owe someone money, I'll feel uncomfortable all over. I'll only feel better when I pay them back."
"It's mainly because the company's current assets have a remarkable ability to sustain profitability. A third-party consulting company predicted that in the next two to three years, the gross profit margin of the industry will increase steadily. So, I'm prepared to take out most of the dividends and buy two or three companies in the same industry … The main problems these companies are currently facing are local barriers, institutional obstacles, and financial difficulties. I can help solve these problems. When the annual report is out, they should perform better …" Tian Qi's voice was very soft, and she sounded like she was gossiping about a celebrity.
Zuo Cidian was completely dumbfounded. He was a cadre at the level of a town hospital, and his greatest achievements in life were his eleven-year-old son (who did not undergo a paternity test) and the fact that he drank one liter of alcohol in one go. He did not expect city people to chat like this.
Doctor Zhou looked at Zuo Cidian and chuckled. He thought, 'Who asked you to ask? Are you trying to make yourself uncomfortable by asking this kind of question?'
While no one was paying attention to him, Lu Wenbin crazily ate the abalone sauce on the rice. He did not even notice that the abalone sauce was stuck to the corner of his mouth.
Ling Ran was not someone who took the initiative to chat. So, the dining table became quiet for a while.
Yu Yuan looked around and suddenly felt that she should have the responsibility to start a conversation.
So, Yu Yuan swallowed a piece of soft and delicious abalone, smiled, and said, "If I had a lot of money, I would first buy a big piece of land, then build a big warehouse, and then …"
"Um … the abalone is really delicious." Doctor Zhou rushed to interrupt Yu Yuan so that he could continue eating the abalone.
Lu Wenbin also nodded. "Yes, yes, the abalone is really delicious, and the rice is so fragrant and glutinous …"
The two cooperated and reluctantly took up the responsibility of the conversation.
Ling Ran ate quietly.
Tian Qi ate a mouthful of rice and glanced at Ling Ran. She glanced at Ling Ran and ate a mouthful of rice.
After eating the abalone sauce on the rice, Ling Ran wanted to wipe his mouth with a tissue, but Tian Qi handed him a handkerchief.
Ling Ran hesitated for a moment before he took it. After he used it, he put it away and said, "Thank you. I'll return it to you after I wash it. "
"Okay." Tian Qi nodded excitedly.
Doctor Zhou glanced at the handkerchief that was full of horse patterns, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He said to Ling Ran, "Be careful when you wash it. Don't tear it."
Ling Ran obediently hummed and passed the empty plate to the rider next to him. He said, "Please give me another abalone sauce on the rice."
The rider obediently did as he was told.
Zuo Cidian looked at the kangaroo on the rider's yellow uniform. He was doubtful and amazed at the same time. 'The service industry in big cities is really too advanced.'
At this time, Zuo Cidian could no longer be in the mood to give food boxes to others.
…..
In the afternoon, Ling Ran continued his Achilles tendon repair surgery.
Changxi Province was also a major sports province. From professional athletes to sports enthusiasts, there were countless Achilles tendons broken. In addition, some patients who had their tendons broken gradually gathered in Yun Hua Hospital.
Logically speaking, ordinary people did not need the Zhu-Ling Repair Technique to strengthen their Achilles tendons. However, modern people always pursued the best. For example, even though ordinary people did not need to jump higher or run further, they were still willing to buy the best basketball shoes and running shoes, unless they were short of money.
Most of the patients who had their hamstrings severed had similar expectations. In fact, aside from female patients who cared about their scars, male patients would always come to Yun Hua Hospital for their first choice of Achilles tendon repair surgery after they had asked around.
Because of this, Zuo Cidian followed Ling Ran and performed two consecutive surgeries before he could rest.
After he slept for a night, Zuo Cidian returned to the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital at dawn the next day as if he had never left.
At this time, there was a black patient on the operating table.
Zuo Cidian stared at the blackened legs, arms, fur, and face. He was stunned on the spot.
"Is this today's patient?" Zuo Cidian turned on the shadowless lamp and looked carefully.
The black patient did not understand what he said, so he opened his eyes and looked at Zuo Cidian.
Anesthetist Su Jiafu shook his leg while he played with the stool under his feet. He smiled and asked, "You've never seen it before?"
"I've seen it before, but I've never cut it before," Zuo Cidian said honestly.
"Then, you're starting a new life." Su Jiafu laughed.
The busy nurse next to him rolled her eyes and did not bother to talk to them. The black patient was still lying on the bed, looking at the two doctors with a smile on his face.
Zuo Cidian nodded vigorously and became excited. "When I saw the list just now, I thought it was an ethnic minority. Big cities are really amazing, really amazing … By the way, what do you think we should pay attention to when we cut this foreigner?"
Su Jiafu was stunned by his question. He stood up with one foot on the stool and looked at the international patient under the shadowless lamp. He thought and said, "Probably a little harder?"
"That's not hard, it's tough."
"No, what if the skin is very thick?"
"The structure of the muscle fibers is different, so the feeling of cutting will definitely be different."
"That's true. I read the literature, and it seems like we need to give him more Skelaxin."
"The fat content also has a lot to do with it. Just like that Chinese New Year pig, when you stab it with a knife, it feels different if you stab it with a knife."
"It's a pity that we can't stab it."
"It'd be good if we could stab it once."
The two doctors in large white coats sighed in unison.
