As soon as Sister Hong said that, the ward instantly quieted down. Sister Hong was a little embarrassed by the silence and couldn't help but explain again.
"It's like this. Miss Ruan's illness will make people lose their appetite. They won't be able to eat all the delicacies. So, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Boss Yuan to finish all the dishes," Sister Hong said seriously.
Sister Hong obviously thought that Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya didn't understand Ruan Xiaoqing's illness. That was why she gave such an explanation.
In this way, not only did she not reveal Ruan Xiaoqing's illness, but she also preserved Yuan Zhou's face. It could be said to be very good.
"Sister Hong, don't worry. Boss Yuan is different from others," Ling Hong said first.
"Yes, Sister Hong. Don't worry. I'm looking forward to the dishes cooked by Boss Yuan," Ruan Xiaoqing also whispered.
"But Miss Ruan, you just said that your mouth is sour and bitter. Don't force yourself to eat. You will feel better," Sister Hong said anxiously.
That's right. When Ling Hong went down to pick up Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya, Ruan Xiaoqing asked Sister Hong to get water for her to rinse her mouth. It was because she had been taking medicine for a long time that her mouth was sour and bitter.
Sister Hong was afraid that Ruan Xiaoqing would feel embarrassed and said that. "It's okay.
Boss Yuan is different, "Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head and said," Alright.
"Alright, I'll look at you." Sister Hong looked at Ling Hong's face and then at Ruan Xiaoqing's determined face. She had no choice but to say.
"Okay. Don't drool later, Sister Hong," Ruan Xiaoqing joked.
"I won't. Why would I want to eat your food?" Sister Hong shook her head solemnly.
"Let me raise the table for you," Ling Hong immediately came over and said.
At this time, Yuan Zhou, who hadn't said a word all along, said, "Eat slowly."
After saying that, he handed the food box to Yin Ya. Yin Ya went up to open the box and began to arrange it.
Yes, Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya didn't care about Sister Hong's comments.
First of all, this was Sister Hong's responsibility as a professional nurse, so she said these things for Ruan Xiaoqing's own good. Secondly, Yuan Zhou had never thought of himself as a celebrity. Even if he was a world-class celebrity, there would still be people who did not know him, let alone a chef.
So what's wrong with not recognizing him as Chef Yuan Zhou?
One had to know that Sister Hong was a frontline nurse. She often stayed in the wards and took care of critically ill patients. How could she have the time to get to know other people or things?
Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't care about it. It was even easier for Yin Ya to open the food box. This was what they had agreed on before they came.
The lunchbox Yuan Zhou took out was a standard lunchbox provided by the system, which was the same lunchbox Yin Ya brought to work every day. However, this lunchbox didn't have any patterns on it, so it wasn't as exquisite as Yin Ya's.
This lunchbox was reddish-brown in color. It looked beautiful and elegant, but that was all.
Yin Ya opened the lunchbox skillfully. This was the only time the lunchbox was presented to everyone. The largest box was in the form of a cylindrical soup bowl, filled with clear soup. The smaller box was a bowl, smaller than the standard rice bowls in the restaurant, filled with half a bowl of clear porridge.
There was also a small plate, filled with red and white jade-like pickled radishes with a bright and beautiful luster.
As the lunchbox was opened, a fragrance belonging to the Manman spread out.
This made Sister Hong, who was staring at it closely, involuntarily swallow her saliva. But in an instant, she realized her profession and raised her head to observe Ruan Xiaoqing's expression.
Sometimes, when ordinary people smelled something fragrant, patients would feel like vomiting. This was not a strange thing.
But when Sister Hong saw Ruan Xiaoqing's expression, she felt slightly relieved because Ruan Xiaoqing was looking at the lunchbox expectantly.
"It's best if she can eat some. How can taking medicine be better than eating?" Sister Hong muttered inwardly, but she was also observing seriously.
"This is Jiangsu Plain Chicken Stew, Rice Porridge, and Pickled Radishes," Yuan Zhou briefly introduced.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan," Ruan Xiaoqing said.
"You're welcome. Remember my rules. Just finish it," Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, I will. It smells so good," Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
"Eat it. This soup has been simmered for a long time. It's good for nourishing the body," Yin Ya said after placing the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
"Thank you, Sister Yin Ya," Ruan Xiaoqing thanked her again.
"You're welcome. Just be quick," Yin Ya said with a smile.
"I will." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded. Then, she slowly stretched out her slender hand and placed it on the small table in front of her, preparing to take the chopsticks.
"Miss Ruan, why don't I feed you," Sister Hong said.
After all, Ruan Xiaoqing had only woken up at noon today. In fact, she didn't have much strength in her body. Even when she got up, she had to be supported. That was why Sister Hong said that.
Ling Hong just looked at her worriedly. He didn't offer to help because he knew that Ruan Xiaoqing wanted to eat by herself.
"No need. I can do it myself," Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head and refused.
"Okay. If there's anything, you can tell me, Miss Ruan," Sister Hong said worriedly.
"Um." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded. Then, she gently picked up the spoon and steadied her hands. Only then did she scoop some of the brown soup into her mouth.
Ruan Xiaoqing had rinsed her mouth several times since she woke up. However, due to the long duration of the infusion, her mouth had been sour and bitter.
No matter how much she trusted Yuan Zhou, Ruan Xiaoqing didn't expect that she would be able to taste it at the first bite. After all, when she first smelled the fragrance, she didn't have much of an appetite.
However, she didn't feel like vomiting or nausea. The long-term illness had somewhat damaged her sense of smell and taste. This was something Ruan Xiaoqing knew very well.
Once the soup entered her mouth, Ruan Xiaoqing didn't know what it tasted like. However, the bitterness in her mouth was immediately washed away, making her mouth feel relaxed.
"Oh," Ruan Xiaoqing couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
This made Sister Hong, who was staring at her, extremely nervous. She couldn't help but look at Ling Hong with a blaming gaze. She was worried that Ruan Xiaoqing wouldn't be able to adapt to it.
However, Ling Hong felt slightly relieved because Ruan Xiaoqing continued to scoop the soup.
She drank another mouthful of the light brown soup. It was still tasteless, but it made Ruan Xiaoqing's mouth feel fresher. Smelling the fragrance, she felt slightly hungry.
This made Ruan Xiaoqing even more impatient to scoop up a third mouthful of the soup.
This time, Ruan Xiaoqing finally tasted the taste of the Stewed Chicken Fu.
The soup was light brown in color and it was extremely light. However, there was a fresh and fresh taste lingering in her mouth. When she swallowed it down her throat, it was incomparably smooth. There wasn't any fishy taste at all. Instead, there was a refreshing feeling.
Lowering her head to take a look, Ruan Xiaoqing realized that there wasn't a single speck of oil on the surface of the dish. There were only white jade-like jade dumplings, incomparably green vegetable cores, and a light brown transparent soup.
At this moment, Ruan Xiaoqing's appetite began to spread to her brain bit by bit, giving her a desire to eat. Even though it was a takeaway, the standard did not drop in the slightest.
"I suddenly feel very hungry," Ruan Xiaoqing said softly.
Ling Hong suppressed the excitement in his heart. He first looked at Yuan Zhou with gratitude before saying gently, "Eat more if you're hungry. I've asked Dr. Herbert before. You can eat more."
"Mhm." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Watching Ruan Xiaoqing eat, Ling Hong felt completely at ease. On the other hand, Sister Hong, who was watching from the side, was already dumbfounded.
This was the first time she saw a patient with late-stage pancreatic cancer eating so happily.
