The attractive aroma wafted from the large copper hot pot in the center of the small playground of the welfare home, attracting many elderly people to watch around.
Xie Yunqi and her photographer finished taking pictures of Qin Hai and the others delivering cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and are now setting up machines in front of the big copper pot, preparing for the moment when Qin Hai announces the start.
When Qin Hai and Lin Qingya came here, Xie Ran said: "The bottom of the pot is ready and can be cooked at any time."
Qin Hai took a look into the large copper pot. The bottom of the pot was milky white, with many fungi floating on it. The fragrance hit his face, which was very tempting.
Next to the big copper pot, the fat chef led a group of people to prepare a lot of ingredients. There were many kinds and they looked very fresh.
"Okay, let's boil this first and let every old man have a taste."
Qin Hai handed the black bag he had been carrying to the fat cook next to him. The fat cook curiously opened the bag and took a look, wondering: "Snake meat? Can the old man eat this?"
"Good eyesight!" Qin Hai gave a thumbs up, "It's exactly snake meat. This kind of snake meat is very good for the elderly's health. Let everyone try it. There are only benefits and no harm."
Although the fat cook had doubts, he did not object because snake meat did have a warming effect.
After taking out the snake meat from the black bag, the fat chef immediately showed off his extraordinary knife skills. It didn't take long to cut all the snake meat into thin slices, and then put it into a colander and carefully scalded it according to Qin Hai's instructions.
After the first bowl of snake meat was boiled out, Xie Ran handed it to Qin Hai. Qin Hai handed it to Lin Qingya and said with a smile: "Qingya, you taste it first."
"I'll forget it, let's give it to old man Geng Jinju to try first."
Qin Hai nodded happily, and walked into the old man Geng Jinju's room with Lin Qingya again. Lin Qingya let the old man lean in her arms, and then carefully served the old man to eat the first bowl of snake-shabu-shabu meat.
"Old man, how does it taste? Is it delicious?" Qin Hai asked.
"It's delicious, thank you, thank you!" Old Man Geng Jinju said with a smile, the folds on his face blossomed with a smile, and he looked very happy.
Qin Hai struck while the iron was hot and massaged her left leg again, and then he and Lin Qingya helped the old man sit up from the bed.
"Try to see if you can stand up."
Old man Geng Jinju was a little hesitant, and Dean Liu also asked doubtfully from behind: "Can it really be cured?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the old man stood up from the bed with the support of Qin Hai and Lin Qingya. Until Qin Hai and Lin Qingya quietly let go of their hands, the old man still stood firm.
"Really stood up?!" Dean Liu's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was filled with an expression of disbelief.
What made her even more unbelievable was that with Lin Qingya's encouragement, old man Geng Jinju actually took two small steps forward.
Although he was trembling, as if he might fall down at any time, the old man actually took two steps and still stood firm.
"Really cured?!" Dean Liu's voice began to tremble, and he looked at this scene in disbelief.
This scene happened to be recorded by the photographer who arrived shortly afterwards.
At this moment, a girl under Dean Liu rushed into the room and shouted excitedly: "Dean Liu, Grandma Chen's fever is gone!"
"Really?" Dean Liu was overjoyed and quickly followed the girl into another room.
Qin Hai and Lin Qingya looked at each other, handed old Geng Jinju to the care of other staff, and immediately came to the room where Dean Liu and the others were.
Dean Liu and the girl just now were standing next to a bed, looking nervously at the old man on the bed. The old lady was holding a bowl and eating with big mouthfuls, and kept mumbling "It's delicious."
!”
Hearing the sound, Dean Liu turned around and saw Qin Hai and Lin Qingya, and immediately held their hands with great excitement, "Thank you, thank you!"
Qin Hai and Lin Qingya were a little confused. Qin Hai asked: "Dean Liu, what's going on?"
Dean Liu wiped away the tears of excitement from the corner of his eyes and said: "I don't know what kind of disease the old lady got a while ago. She has a high fever every day. There is no good way to go to the hospital to see a doctor. He said that if her fever does not go away, she will only have a week left at most."
It’s time. Today happens to be the seventh day. The old lady has been talking nonsense since last night, and she is about to die. Just now, Xiao Wang fed the old lady half a bowl of soup and a few slices of meat, and the old lady’s fever actually subsided.
Now, people are awake."
Qin Hai and Lin Qingya looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Qingya said: "This is a good thing, please stop crying!"
Dean Liu wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "I'm so happy, thank you, thank you so much!"
…
As various fresh ingredients are continuously put into the copper hot pot, the smell wafting in the yard of the orphanage becomes more and more fragrant.
One bowl, two bowls, three bowls...
The remaining snake meat of the golden-armored snake was getting less and less, and it was constantly thrown into the copper pot. After being rinsed, it was poured into the bowls of the elderly.
Laughter and cheers lingered over the orphanage, and everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Finally, the fat chef threw the last piece of snake meat into the copper hot pot, and all the golden-armored snake meat was gone.
Qin Hai and Lin Qingya smiled alike and quietly held their hands together.
At this moment, Xie Yunqi came to them and asked with a smile: "Mr. Qin, why did you think of coming to the orphanage to cook something for everyone?"
Qin Hai motioned to the fat chef to hand over the snake meat that had just been laid down. He picked up a piece of prepared snake meat with chopsticks and said: "The main reason is because I accidentally got a very magical ingredient, which can also be called
The medicinal material is a kind of meat called golden-armored snake, which is very beneficial to the health of the elderly. You see, it is this kind of meat."
The camera focused on the piece of snake meat on Qin Hai's chopsticks and took a close-up.
Xie Yunqi asked again: "If my guess is correct, the value of this kind of snake meat should be very high. Have you not thought about selling it?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "You are right. There are indeed many people who want to buy this kind of snake meat from me, and even offer sky-high prices, but I finally decided to take it to the welfare home. Because the elderly here are more
Need it."
Xie Yunqi said: "You said it very well, and this is indeed a very magical medicinal material. Many elderly people feel much better after taking it. On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank Mr. Qin for his generosity and selflessness!"
After the filming, Qin Hai shook hands with Xie Yunqi and the photographer, and asked: "When will it be broadcast?"
Xie Yunqi smiled and said: "The local news at 6:30 tonight will definitely be broadcast. If you are anxious, we will rush back to edit now and try to broadcast it at noon."
"Then let's do it at noon. At night, I'm afraid some people won't be able to see it."
"Okay, let's go first!"
After sending Xie Yunqi and his party away, Qin Hai took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Qingyun's number. After joking for a while, Qin Hai said: "Do you have Chen Feng's contact information? Give her a call and let her remember it at noon.
Watch the midday news on Chunjiang TV.”
Liu Qingyun asked in confusion: "What are you kid doing again?"
"You don't need to worry so much, just inform Chen Feng for me." After hanging up the phone, Qin Hai smiled at Lin Qingya beside him and said, "Let's go back and watch TV."
