At noon, the food in the Fourth Hospital caused a sensation again.
In the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School in the urban area, all employees of the four hospitals, whether athletes or volunteers, go to window No. 3 to receive two lunch boxes, one for vegetables and the other for rice.
When everyone opened their lunch boxes, they exclaimed, "Wow, there's braised pork and braised fish fillets! Our hospital is so generous this year."
Chen Xia was helping to distribute lunch boxes. He was very happy when he heard everyone's excited shouts. What a lovely group of people! They were satisfied with just a few pieces of braised pork.
In a few decades, people will pout when they see braised pork, thinking they will get fat.
"Hey, comrades, we don't just have meat and vegetables. These buckets are filled with egg, shredded pork, and preserved mustard greens soup. If you want some, help yourself. Drink as much as you want."
After hearing this, many people came over to serve soup.
This wasn't like the school cafeterias of later times, where you couldn't find any egg drop or shredded pork in the soup even after scooping for ages. Today, the soup prepared by the Fourth Hospital was absolutely filling. One spoonful was filled with egg drop and shredded pork, and the feeling of bliss was beyond words.
As a result, athletes from other hospitals quit.
Looking at the cheerful faces of the staff at the Fourth Hospital, and then looking at their own meals, which only had a little bit of meat, many people were so angry that they wanted to smash their lunch boxes.
The employees were unhappy, and the General Affairs Department of their hospital, which was responsible for logistics, was in trouble again. Many troublemakers started cursing in the cafeteria.
A group of general affairs section chiefs were so angry that they surrounded Chen Xia and kept denouncing him.
Mr. Jiang from the Second Hospital took the lead and said, "Hey, Chief Chen, this is going too far. Can you please leave some room for our brothers?"
Zeng Peinong from the First Hospital was the worst off because their live food was the worst, so he jumped the highest: "You guys from the Fourth Hospital are practicing capitalism! How are you going to survive in the future? You have to eat this well even for a sports meet."
Chen Xia was upset when he heard this. "What's wrong? What's wrong with us having money to eat some meat? Oh, eating meat is capitalism, and starvation is socialism? Comrade Lao Zeng, your thinking is very dangerous. Brothers, we have to hold a support meeting for him."
The other section chiefs all laughed.
Zeng Peinong was so angry that he sat down on the chair next to him. "Whatever, we have to eat meat anyway. We have been scolded so much. If we don't ask for some back from your Fourth Hospital, we will be doing ourselves a disservice."
Chen Xia quickly brought out a few lunch boxes: "Okay, okay, it's just meat, come on, guys, help yourselves. The left side is for vegetables, and the right side is for rice. Don't get it wrong."
"That's more like it. Damn, the Fourth Hospital is really a fucking tycoon."
Dean Gu looked at Chen Xia mingling with several department heads from other hospitals not far away, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He happily greeted the other deans:
"How dare you not eat your own food and come to our Fourth Courtyard to steal our food."
Wang Mengqi said while picking up the braised pork:
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're all local tycoons and landlords. Damn it, tropical fruits and braised pork. Old Gu, how about I come to the Fourth Hospital and be your assistant? This poor First Hospital can't even pay salaries right now."
Dean Gu looked at him with disdain: "I dare not take this big Buddha of yours. You will eat all the braised pork by yourself. Look, others only take one portion, but you take two. Damn, you are simply a bandit."
Hahaha.
The lunch in the cafeteria was just a small episode.
The sports meet went on very quickly. The next day was the volleyball final, with the team between the Fourth Hospital and the Jiyang Hospital team.
The strength of both sides was similar, so the score was always close and the atmosphere on the scene was always tense.
This kind of big ball game is the most attractive to watch, so the crowds on the sidelines are huge. At this time, the total score is 2:2, and it is about to enter the fifth and final game.
As soon as Chen Xia, the loyal lackey, saw Gu Lin coming off the field, he immediately took out a towel and asked her to wipe her sweat, while he stood behind her and kept massaging her shoulders.
The members of the volleyball team were no longer surprised by this scene, and when people from other hospitals saw it, they all had an expression of "as expected" on their faces.
Gu Lin didn't know if it was due to nervousness or over-exertion, but her right knee was a little painful. She hadn't dared to say anything before, but in the crucial game she was afraid that her mistakes would lead to the loss of the entire match, so she was very conflicted.
He whispered to Chen Xia, "What should I do? My right knee hurts a little."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xia quickly squatted down, grabbed Gu Lin's long legs and placed them on his own legs, then observed carefully. "On the surface, it doesn't look like a big problem. It's probably just a slight sprain. Don't be afraid, I'm ready."
After saying that, Chen Xia took out a bottle of ethyl chloride spray from his backpack and sprayed it at Gu Lin's knees.
Ethyl chloride spray is an anesthetic drug that can freeze the injured area and temporarily relieve pain. The principle is that anesthesia and freezing will constrict local blood vessels to achieve the effect of relieving pain and aggravating the injury.
Later, everyone saw on TV that this was the kind of medicine that football players sprayed on the sidelines. It was very effective for emergency use on the spot, but it only treated the symptoms and not the root cause.
Li Adi, who was standing next to him, asked curiously, "Chen Xia, what's this good thing?"
Everyone in the Fourth Hospital knows that whatever Chen Xia brings out must be top quality.
"Oh, this is a spray that can temporarily relieve the pain. By the way, if you have any injuries or pains, tell us now. If they flare up later on the court, it will affect your performance."
“Yes, yes, yes, my knees can’t do it either.”
"Ouch, my ankle hurts too, please spray it on me."
The recent high-intensity training has caused some injuries to the girls. Perhaps during the game, they will lose a key point due to the injury of one of them, resulting in the failure of the entire game.
So Chen Xia used their long legs to spray them with medicine, which made the male comrades on the sidelines envious.
The referee blew the whistle and the game resumed. Chen Xia took out two knee pads and asked Gu Lin to put them on herself. Someone next to him joked,
"Section Chief Chen, you are so considerate of your wife. You have made such thorough preparations."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Lin's face turned red with shame. Dean Gu, who was not far away, almost lost his temper, his eyes almost popping out. Chen Xia could already feel the murderous aura coming from Comrade Gu, so he shrank his neck and hid in the crowd.
The Fourth Hospital team was 3 points behind at the start. The women's volleyball team kept gritting their teeth and trying to catch up little by little, but everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted and they could not make up the 3-point gap.
At this time, the score was 11:14. Jiyang team only needed one more point to win the championship. The people on the court were anxious, and the people off the court were even more anxious.
When Chen Xia saw that the situation was not good and the personnel could not be adjusted, he could only think of a way to adjust the mentality of the athletes on the field.
