"Huh?" Mei Changlin's eyes widened in surprise when he saw this scene. Is his mother hungry?
The old lady stretched out her hand and rubbed her stomach, and said with a confused look on her face: "Chang Lin, I feel a little hungry."
She has been suffering from anorexia for too long and has long lost interest in all kinds of food. As a result, she is not sure whether she is hungry now.
"Mom, I will serve you rice right now." Mei Changlin picked up the bowl with trembling hands, filled a bowl full of creamy wild mushroom soup, scooped up a spoonful and was about to feed it to the old lady.
"Can't feed!" Jiang Xiaofan quickly stopped Mei Changlin and said with a serious face: "The old lady hasn't eaten for a long time. She can't eat whole grains now, otherwise the stomach meridian will be blocked again, and the anorexia will even become more serious in the future."
Mei Changlin was stunned: "What do you eat if you don't eat whole grains?"
Even Su Yunhe on the side looked at Jiang Xiaofan blankly. Whole grains are people's daily food. If they don't eat these, should they let the elderly eat steak?
Jiang Xiaofan smiled slightly: "Wait for me for a while."
After speaking, Jiang Xiaofan walked to the parking lot, unloaded the two bags of wild hawthorn from the motorcycle, and carried one bag in each hand to the private room.
Jiang Xiaofan took out a handful of wild hawthorns from the bag, washed both sides with the water on the table, and handed one to the old lady: "Grandma, please try this first."
"Is this time wild hawthorn?"
The old lady took the wild hawthorn and looked at it. She smelled a sweet and sour taste and couldn't wait to put it into her mouth and took a bite.
She chewed twice and exclaimed: "This hawthorn is so delicious, without any sour taste. When we were a child, our family was poor, and when we had no food to eat, I took Chang Lin to the mountains to look for wild hawthorns. At that time, there were small and wild hawthorns in the mountains.
The acidity is incomparable to your hawthorn..."
The old lady ate while talking, and she ate a big hawthorn in four or five mouthfuls. After eating, she grabbed the hawthorn in Jiang Xiaofan's hand and recalled the past while eating.
Su Yunhe on the side whispered: "Xiaofan, hawthorn is acidic. It's been too long since I've eaten. Can my stomach withstand it?"
Jiang Xiaofan smiled: "It's okay, my wild hawthorns are different from ordinary hawthorns."
This batch of wild hawthorns were picked from the medicine field. After being nourished by the spiritual energy of the Spirit Gathering Array, they are no longer just wild hawthorns, but half fruits and half medicinal materials.
If it were an ordinary wild hawthorn, Jiang Xiaofan would definitely not dare to feed it to the elderly, but this kind of wild hawthorn...
In less than three minutes, the old lady finished the four or five wild hawthorns in Jiang Xiaofan's hand. She took Jiang Xiaofan's arm and asked: "Young man, do you still have these wild hawthorns?"
"Yes, grandma, don't worry." Jiang Xiaofan said, opening the two bags and revealing the wild hawthorns inside.
When the old lady saw the wild hawthorn in the bag, she couldn't help but smile reassuringly.
Seeing this scene, Mei Changlin on the side was extremely shocked. A disease that even the provincial hospital could not cure was cured by Jiang Xiaofan in ten minutes?
He looked at Jiang Xiaofan in disbelief and said excitedly: "Little miracle doctor, I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now. What did you mean by not guaranteeing whether there will be a recurrence?"
Jiang Xiaofan looked at Mei Changlin's face and said: "Director Mei, judging from your face, it seems that you lost your father when you were young. You were raised by your mother, and your official career was not smooth in the first half of your life.
"
Mei Changlin didn't know why: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Xiaofan changed the subject: "Have you not had dinner with your mother for a long time?"
Mei Changlin was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Before I was the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, I would have dinner with my mother at home every day, but then I got busy and had no time..."
Jiang Xiaofan stared at him and asked, "Did your mother's anorexia start to show signs from that time on?"
"It seems so. My mother's appetite seems to have been decreasing."
Mei Changlin nodded subconsciously, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "What do you mean?"
"I suspect that your mother's anorexia has a lot to do with your work. To be precise, it has to do with you being too busy and not spending time with the elderly."
Jiang Xiaofan considered it and said: "You used to eat with the old man, and the old man didn't have anorexia. But since you got promoted and got busy, your mother should often eat alone. Gradually, it becomes easy for her to have random thoughts, which then leads to anorexia...
…”
Mei Changlin looked at the old lady blankly.
Jiang Xiaofan sighed and said: "The causes of anorexia are very complicated. Lack of family companionship should be considered one of them."
"Mom, is he right?" Mei Changlin asked with a trembling voice.
The old lady wiped her eyes: "This young man is right. Every time Mom sees you busy at work and not eating on time, she feels irritated and uncomfortable. But Mom can't help you, so she doesn't want to eat very much.
Oh...sigh."
"Mom, I was wrong. I will stay with you more in the future."
Mei Changlin's eyes were a little red, and then he looked at Jiang Xiaofan nervously: "Then can my mother's anorexia be eradicated?"
Jiang Xiaofan said with a smile: "The trigger has been found, and you can just prescribe the right medicine. In addition, I will prescribe some Chinese medicine for you and supplement it with food supplements."
"Okay, thank you so much, little miracle doctor. From now on, our water supply bureau's dine-in meals will be at your restaurant." Mei Changlin was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
"okay."
Jiang Xiaofan and Su Yunhe glanced at each other, with unanimous joy on their faces. The water supply bureau's one-year dine-in meal list is not a small list, and more importantly, establishing a good relationship with Mei Changlin is crucial to the further development of Shiweixian Restaurant.
Jiang Xiaofan wrote a Chinese medicine recipe, gave the cook Yang Fang a medicinal diet formula, and told Mei Changlin to bring her mother to eat regularly.
After sending Mei Changlin and his mother away, Su Yunhe looked at Jiang Xiaofan: "I didn't expect that you actually took down Director Mei."
Jiang Xiaofan chuckled: "Who made him turn his chin up to you just now?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaofan's words, Su Yunhe's pretty face suddenly turned red, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.
After a while, she raised her head and said: "By the way, the wild hawthorn seems to be very effective. I will deliver it to the restaurant every day from now on. I will also use it as a recruitment tool for the restaurant."
Jiang Xiaofan nodded: "No problem, I'll tell Xiong Daxiong Er."
"No more words, the restaurant branch is about to open, and I need to confirm the new employees." The two chatted for a few more words, and Su Yunhe went back to the office to get busy.
After leaving Shiweixian Restaurant, Jiang Xiaofan was still thinking about wild hawthorn. It seems that wild hawthorn still needs to be harvested, but how to balance wild hawthorn and wild mushroom will have to be carefully considered after returning.
After making up his mind, Jiang Xiaofan went straight to the Pickup 4S store.
The restaurant branch is about to open soon, and the two restaurants will deliver goods every day. Wild mushrooms, native eggs, wild hawthorns, and rabbits... A three-wheeled motorcycle, Bear Big Bear II, is simply not enough.
Arriving at the Pickup 4S store, as soon as Jiang Xiaofan walked through the door, a saleswoman with heavy makeup came up to her. Before she could reach Jiang Xiaofan, her whispering voice came over: "Hello, sir, welcome."
Your patronage..."
Before she finished speaking, when she saw clearly what Jiang Xiaofan was wearing, she immediately walked towards the rest area without looking back.
