It was around 12:30 when Tian Shao and Li Aihua arrived at the Changxi State-owned Hotel, which was the peak meal time. When they walked to the door, they saw that the place was full.
Li Aihua couldn't help but said: "As expected of a provincial capital, it's just that it's rich."
Half of the seats in the county's state-owned restaurants are empty. People's lives are so tight that they don't want to go to state-owned restaurants to eat. They cook at home or go to the cafeteria. Half of the people who go there are for toothpaste or treat guests.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "That's wrong. The reason why there are so many people here is that the chefs are good at their crafts."
Thinking about the money and food stamps given by Uncle Li, Li Aihua said grandly: "Then let's eat to our heart's content today."
When I went to place an order, I learned that Chef Nan would make braised pork at noon every Saturday, which is why the seats were packed. Unfortunately, Tian Shao and Li Aihua arrived late, and the braised pork had already been sold out.
Tian Shao said to the lady who collected the money: "We can order two dishes and one soup. It doesn't matter what the dish is, as long as it is fried by Master Nan."
With Chef Nan’s skills, anything you stir-fry will be delicious.
The lady was happy when she heard this and said, "Young lady is a cheerful person. Okay, I'll go tell Master Nan right now."
Soon the lady came out and said with a smile: "Girl, Master Nan said he would make you sweet and sour pork ribs, fish head with chopped pepper and tofu soup. Please wait for a while!"
Neither of them had objections.
This meal costs four yuan and sixty cents and a pound of food stamps.
Li Aihua paid the money and food stamps. It happened that two guests left after eating, so she took Tian Shao to sit in that seat. After sitting down, she sighed: "Xiao Shao, the food here is twice as expensive as in the county town."
more than."
Ordering three of these dishes in the county town costs less than two yuan, but here they cost more than four yuan.
Tian Shao said it in just four words: "Good value for money."
About twenty minutes later, the dishes were served, and the first dish was sweet and sour pork ribs. The dish was bright red in color and oily, and its aroma made several tables nearby couldn't help but look over.
Tian Shao picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth without hesitation. Well, it was more delicious than the braised pork last time. As for Li Aihua, he was already immersed in the delicious food and had no time to care about anything else.
The table on the right saw it and ran to the counter to order this dish, but unfortunately there was no ribs and I couldn't eat it even if I wanted to.
After finishing the two dishes and one soup, Li Aihua was still unsatisfied. She burped and said, "This chef's craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. No wonder you never forget it! Xiaoshao, let's eat here next time we come to the provincial capital."
Needless to say, when she arrived in the provincial capital, she would definitely come here for a feast. Unfortunately, it was too far away from the machinery factory. It would take two buses and more than an hour to get there. Otherwise, she would have just wanted to have dinner here.
The two of them left the state-owned hotel and took the address and began to inquire about where Dr. Jiang lived. Unexpectedly, the place where the old doctor lived was very remote. Tian Shao asked many people and Lu only found it after walking for more than two hours.
Li Aihua looked at the houses of different heights. He sat on the roadside and breathed heavily and said, "This is obviously in the countryside! It's hard for Tian Jianle. He even found out that they live in such a remote place."
Tian Shao said that Zhao Xiaorou can be found in any remote place. This is the benefit of power.
After entering the village, the two finally found the place mentioned on the note. After asking the villagers, they came to a low adobe house. They saw an old lady with white hair feeding chickens in the yard.
She walked up and asked: "Grandma, we are looking for Mr. Jiang. I wonder if he is here?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face changed slightly, and she waved her hand and said, "There is no Mr. Jiang here. You are looking in the wrong place, so hurry up and leave!"
Tian Shao guessed that the other party might have been persecuted, so she was very defensive. She said with red eyes: "Grandma, I asked someone to inquire for a long time before I found out about Mr. Jiang. Grandma, it hurts every time I came here when I was little.
I was rolling on the ground. It hurt so much last time that I wanted to kill myself. As long as I die, it won’t hurt anymore."
At this point, she shed tears: "But I can't die. My parents are not healthy enough to do heavy work, and there are four younger sisters to take care of. I'm going to die, what will they do?"
Li Aihua looked sideways, why didn't he think this girl could act before? But she didn't lose her temper at the critical moment, and echoed Tian Shao: "Grandma, the doctor at the hospital said that it will be difficult for Xiao Shao to conceive a child if her palace cold is too severe. Grandma, she
Who will marry if she can't have children? Grandma, please help her, otherwise her life will be ruined."
Tian Shao cried and said: "Grandma, if I can't get married, not only will I be laughed at by the villagers, but my parents will also be embarrassed. Grandma, I beg you, let Mr. Jiang show it to me! Grandma, you
Don't worry, as soon as I leave this door, I will forget everything and will never say a word to anyone. If you break this promise, I will be struck by thunder."
When Li Aihua heard this, he quickly said: "Me too. Grandma, just show her. The last time she came here, she lay in bed for three days. When she couldn't stand the pain, she took a knife and scratched her wrist. She said that just one cut would heal her.
No more suffering.”
Tian Shao did say this, but he didn't use a knife to make strokes on his wrist. However, this also impressed Tian Shao, and he cooperated very well.
The old lady looked at Li Aihua and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Aihua said: "We are good sisters. We didn't worry about her coming to the provincial capital alone, so we accompanied her. Grandma, please let Dr. Jiang treat her! It's really a suffering."
The old lady looked at the two people, sighed and said, "Come in!"
After walking into the house, the old lady sat down and said to Tian Shao: "Sit down and I will check your pulse."
Tian Shao was startled, and quickly realized that the old lady was the person she was looking for. Well, it seemed that she had misunderstood. This old doctor Jiang was a woman, not a man.
The old lady checked Tian Shao's pulse, which took a long time. Seeing her frown, both Tian Shao and Li Aihua felt excited.
After more than a quarter of an hour, the old lady said: "Your palace cold is indeed very serious, coupled with malnutrition and lack of Qi and blood, that's why you suffer so much when you are young. But fortunately, you just came here, and you can recover after a while. But it's just
If you are not good at conditioning, you must keep up with nutrition, otherwise this problem will not stop and will always be with you."
Tian Shao's whole body relaxed. As long as she could adjust well, she was really scared after the last time. If it happens again, she might really not be able to bear it and commit suicide.
The old lady looked at her expression and said, "This medicine is not cheap, and it has to be taken for half a year, so it costs a lot of money."
I said this because I saw that Tian Shao was not well-dressed.
Tian Shao said without thinking: "Grandma Jiang, I am willing to spend any amount of money to cure this problem. Grandma Jiang, please give me a prescription! I will start drinking it when I get home."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Jiang's face when she heard this title, but the smile disappeared briefly. She said to Tian Shao: "I will read the prescription to you, and you can write it yourself."
Tian Shao knew that this was a way for the old man to protect himself, so he immediately took out a pen and paper from his bag.
