This time, Ruan Xiaoqing didn't stick to drinking the soup. She directly picked up a piece of Clear Stewed Chicken and prepared to eat it.
The Clear Stewed Chicken on her chopsticks was snow-white in color. It trembled when she picked it up and looked very tender.
However, when she put it into her mouth, she found that the shell of the chicken was slightly tough. It felt a little hard and sticky, just like the soft shell of a crab, soft and tough.
"Awoo …" Ruan Xiaoqing bit off half of the chicken. The shell was soft and tough, but the inside was incredibly tender. When she bit it open, a stream of extremely delicious broth burst out.
Compared to the clear broth in the bowl, the broth tasted more fresh and sweet. It also had the fragrance of chicken meat.
The soft and tender texture was even more tender than tofu, but with a hint of tenderness of meat. The texture was plump and delicious, and there was also the fragrance of green leafy vegetables.
"Delicious." Ruan Xiaoqing squinted her eyes and praised generously.
"Eat more if you like it. If you are blacklisted, I will be the only one who can eat it in the future," Ling Hong handed a towel to her and said with a smile.
"That's impossible." Ruan Xiaoqing took the towel and wiped her mouth while glaring at him.
"Then finish it," Ling Hong said conveniently.
"I know. I will." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
"It smells really fragrant. If Miss Ruan wants to eat it, you have to eat more. How can medicine be better than food?" Sister Hong gulped down her saliva and reminded earnestly.
"Um, I will." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded and said patiently.
At the side, Yin Ya and Yuan Zhou looked at each other without saying anything. They just watched Ruan Xiaoqing eat quietly.
Ruan Xiaoqing ate another piece of chicken. The meat was tender and fragrant, but not greasy at all. It was soft and crispy. Along with the thick clear broth, she finished half a bowl in a short while.
Only then did Ruan Xiaoqing start to eat another bowl of rice porridge. This bowl was different from the porridge in Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
This bowl of rice porridge was placed in a reddish-brown wooden bowl. Very few rice grains could be seen in the white rice porridge, as it had basically been boiled to a pulp. However, when he held it in his hand, it exuded a strong rice fragrance.
Taking a closer look, there was a layer of shiny rice oil floating on the surface of the porridge. The porridge was just thick enough. Although it was plain porridge, it was still very thick when scooped up.
He scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, and the rich fragrance of rice immediately filled his mouth.
With just a light touch of his tongue, the already mushy rice became even softer. However, it didn't feel like powder anymore. Instead, it felt like a smooth porridge.
And pickled carrots, Ruan Xiaoqing thought to herself. Then, she picked up a piece of pickled carrot.
The carrots were marinated beautifully, giving off a beautiful cherry red color. They were cut into small cubes of the same size.
As soon as the pickled radish entered his mouth, a faint salty taste filled the air.
"Kacha Kacha", Ruan Xiaoqing chewed the carrot into pieces. It was crisp and slightly salty and sour. Such a stimulating taste immediately made her salivate.
With the refreshing and sour pickled radish, Ruan Xiaoqing drank up the whole bowl of porridge almost without any pause. It could be said that she ate very quickly.
"Miss Ruan, is the porridge really so delicious?" Sister Hong couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Yes. It's very delicious because it was cooked by Boss Yuan." Ruan Xiaoqing immediately nodded her head.
"Boss Yuan?" Sister Hong couldn't help turning her head and looking at Yuan Zhou. She didn't find anything special about him. He was just a spirited young man.
She really couldn't tell that he could cook a dish that could whet the appetite of patients.
"Yeah. It's because it was cooked by Boss Yuan that it's so delicious." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head.
"Indeed. The smell is so fragrant that I'm drooling. Miss Ruan, you have to eat more," Sister Hong said sincerely.
"I will. I'll finish it soon," Ruan Xiaoqing said proudly.
"That's great. Maybe I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," Sister Hong said exaggeratedly.
"Yes. I'll definitely recover very soon," Yin Ya also nodded her head and said at the side.
"I'll work hard." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head heavily and then continued to eat happily.
Looking at Ruan Xiaoqing like that, Ling Hong's heart softened. He looked at Yuan Zhou gratefully again and then stood up and walked to Yuan Zhou's side.
"I'll wait for you outside," Ling Hong said.
Yuan Zhou took a look at Ling Hong who walked out of the ward directly. He lowered his head and said to Yin Ya at the side, "I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Yin Ya nodded her head and continued, "I'll accompany Xiaoqing."
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and walked out of the ward.
Ling Hong was waiting for Yuan Zhou outside the door. The two of them didn't speak. Ling Hong led Yuan Zhou to the stairwell.
The stairwell was quiet and empty at night. Ling Hong wanted to reach out for a cigarette, but he remembered that he hadn't smoked for a long time and could only give up.
Clearing his throat, Ling Hong said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I didn't cook for you," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Ling Hong waved his hand and said, "I broke your rules. I know you're a stubborn person."
"It's written in your restaurant that take-out is not allowed. You even sent takeout to Xiaoqing. I broke your rules," Ling Hong complained.
"No." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"Huh? What do you mean no? "Ling Hong asked subconsciously.
"You didn't break my rules," Yuan Zhou said.
"Do you think I don't know you? I know all the rules in your restaurant." Ling Hong looked at Yuan Zhou angrily.
"You didn't break my rules," Yuan Zhou said firmly.
"People are built on rules. Without people, there are no rules, so I didn't break the rules," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
Ling Hong looked at the serious Yuan Zhou and couldn't say anything for a while.
After a long while, Ling Hong laughed and said, "You're really a compass, Boss Yuan."
"I'm Boss Yuan." Yuan Zhou also smiled.
"Wow, you should call your Xiaoya. Look at you. You can still smile with your poker face," Ling Hong said in surprise.
"Of course I can smile," Yuan Zhou continued, "And she knows."
"Tsk, you actually showed off your affection to me. Just you wait, I'll show it back to you next time," Ling Hong touched his buzz cut and said with a sunny smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for you and Xiaoqing's affection." Yuan Zhou nodded seriously.
"Then I still have to order takeout tomorrow," Ling Hong said with a smile.
"I'm treating Xiaoqing today. You pay for the takeout tomorrow." Yuan Zhou took out his phone and opened the payment QR code without saying anything.
"…" Ling Hong was instantly speechless. He felt the atmosphere between the brothers dissipated along with the smell of money.
"Pay first and reserve later. This is the rule," Yuan Zhou said naturally.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll transfer the money to you," Ling Hong said helplessly.
"Um, I'll wait." Yuan Zhou nodded seriously.
"I really don't know how Yin Ya fell in love with you," Ling Hong complained.
"Because I'm handsome, can cook and have abdominal muscles," Yuan Zhou said primly.
"I really want to tell you the truth, but forget it." Ling Hong choked for a while and then transferred the money quickly and left the corridor.
The reason why Ling Hong chickened out was that he didn't have the heart to break the dream of others. After all, he was a kind person.
