Yun Huaying really didn't have much idea about the job at the clinic. If it worked out, it would be fine. If not, it didn't matter. She didn't rely on this job to make money to support herself. Besides, she had a lot of other things to do. It would be more free if she didn't go to work.
After returning home, she divided half of the large piece of meat that the little ghost had just given her and sent them to the Han family.
After the soy products factory opened, the factory needed a lot of bamboo sieves, winnowing baskets and wooden utensils. All the skilled people in the team were assigned to work. Grandpa Han also knew some bamboo weaving, and the old couple was busy weaving bamboo sieves at home.
"Huaying, is it done?"
Grandma Han knew that she had gone to the county town this morning to ask someone to do something for her, so she asked with a smile as soon as she saw her.
"It's done." Yun Huaying brought over some meat and some apples and pears in a small basket, pretending to have bought them from the little ghost. She gave them to them: "Grandpa, Grandma, these are fresh fruits. Eat some every day to supplement your vitamins."
"Huaying, keep it for yourself. You've taken good care of grandpa and grandma, so they don't need to take any vitamin supplements. You've been running around everywhere lately and it's very tiring, so eat more." Grandpa Han said to her with a smile, without stopping his hands.
She often sent them supplements and nutritional products, and brought them meat, chickens and ducks every time she went to the county town. The two old people had been eating well during this period, and occasionally drank the ginseng wine she sent them, so they were in good health.
"I just bought two bags and kept a lot for myself." Yun Huaying said as she walked into the kitchen and put the things directly into the cupboard.
The future granddaughter-in-law was so filial that the two elders didn't say much. Grandma Han was helping with the bamboo strips. When she came out, she asked about the previous matter: "Huaying, which unit did you reach a cooperation with?"
"River Port Logistics Department."
Yun Huaying didn't know the situation of this unit before, but on the way to get the approval, He Jun gave her a detailed introduction, and now she also explained it to the two elders.
Grandma Han laughed when she heard this. "This little guy you met in the black market must have some skills at home."
"I haven't asked in detail, but I've been to his house and met his grandparents and parents. They should all be public officials and very kind people." Even though Yun Huaying met the He family, she didn't ask in detail.
Grandpa Han was listening to them talking. He already had some guesses about the identity of the He family. After all, he had lived here for nearly eight years, and he had some idea about the situation of the cadres in Yang County.
The two elders didn't ask too much about the He family. Grandma Han turned to ask, "Huaying, when will you report to the health center?"
"Grandma, I'm not going. Secretary Tian just told me that the higher-ups have arranged for a college student from the medical school to come to the grassroots for internship. He should be starting work in the next two days."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Han frowned and asked, "Why would a medical student be assigned here?"
Today's college students are all rich, especially those from medical schools. After graduation, they are arranged to be sent to large hospitals in provincial capitals and cities for internships. Very few of them are assigned to county towns, let alone the commune health centers below.
Yun Huaying was also puzzled by this and shook her head: "I don't know either. Secretary Tian doesn't know either. It was Secretary Li of the commune who said it. I guess the commune just received the notice."
"Huaying, do you want to go to the clinic to work? If you do, grandpa can go and say hello."
Grandpa Han felt that her medical skills were no worse than those of a college student, and that she was more than qualified to work in a county or municipal hospital. It would be a waste of her abilities for her to stay in the team and do farm work.
"Grandpa, no need. I don't really want to go to work right now. I want to spend more time translating foreign books."
"I've spoken with Elder Long Jinglao in Kyoto before. All walks of life in our country are lagging behind, and there's a serious shortage of elite foreign language professionals. The foreign-language books we've been trying to buy from abroad are just sitting on the shelf gathering dust. My foreign language skills are decent, and I'd like to translate more medical books in the coming period to contribute to the nation's medical cause."
The two elders of the Han family like young people like her who are ambitious, idealistic and capable. The current medical level in their country is indeed low and urgently needs to be improved. Systematic Western medicine books are indispensable. She can provide help in this regard, which will play a driving role in the future development of the medical industry.
"Huaying, go ahead and do whatever you want. Grandpa and grandma fully support you. Don't worry about anything. We are your strong backing."
With the support of the elders, Yun Huaying smiled faintly: "Well, I will do my best and will not let down the trust of the elders and leaders."
After chatting with the two elders at the Han family for a while, Yun Huaying hurried to work at the soy products factory. She had just brought back some seasonings from the county town and planned to go there now to try making five-spice braised dried tofu and sauce-flavored dried tofu.
She got a small iron pot on the stove, turned on the fire and cooked for less than ten minutes, and a rich aroma wafted out of the pot.
"Yun Zhiqing, what are you doing? Why does it smell so good?"
The women in the shed next door who were in charge of making white tofu had already smelled the fragrance, so they took the opportunity to come out and ask.
Yun Huaying was squatting in front of the stove adding firewood. She looked up and replied, "I'm making five-spice braised dried tofu and sauce-flavored dried tofu. I'm not sure if I can make it, but I'm trying. If I do, we'll launch two more new products in the future."
"You cooked this so deliciously that my stomach is growling." The other person laughed.
"Haha..." Everyone else at the back laughed.
Yun Huaying also smiled faintly and pointed to the pot, "I just cooked five pounds each. It should be ready before lunch. You can all come and help me taste it later."
"OK."
They were all happy to do the food tasting.
When the bell rang for the end of work at noon, Yun Huaying's place was jammed with people. Even the team leader couldn't squeeze in and could only stand outside and shout at the top of his voice: "We're letting you taste it, not letting you eat your fill. One piece per person is enough."
"There's not even enough to fill a gap between your teeth, how can you taste it?" The first person to confront him was his own mother.
With her leading the way, the others laughed and echoed loudly: "That's right, one bowl is not enough. At least everyone has to take a bowl home."
The captain was a little speechless. He pulled away a few children who were eating with gusto, squeezed in, and snatched his mother's chopsticks away, "Let me try a piece."
Yun Huaying also took some to taste and asked everyone, "Is this five-spice flavor a little bland? Is this dried tofu a little salty?"
"Huaying, I think the five-spice flavor is just right. It's a bit light when eaten alone, but people need to add salt to the side dishes when they buy it back. The saltiness is just right when stir-fried. The dried tofu with soy sauce is a little too salty." Lin Shan was eating a piece of dried tofu with soy sauce in her hand.
The captain tried both and thought they tasted good, much better than the dried tofu he had made before. He asked everyone, "What do you think of these two? Are they delicious?"
"tasty."
It has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
