Seeing Ari put a plate of strange shredded potatoes into her mouth, the people around her stared at her and asked her questions.
"How is it? How does it taste?"
Eric closed his eyes and said in disbelief: "It turns out that potatoes can be made into so many delicious foods. They are so delicious~~~"
Just as she opened her eyes and was about to grab the second forkful of food, she suddenly realized that the plate in front of her was empty, while the doctors next to her still looked unsatisfied.
Then a sharp female high voice rang out: "Fuck, give me back my shredded potatoes~~~"
At this time, a tall and beautiful doctor came out, took off her hairband and let her hair down, and cast a coquettish glance at Chen Xia: "Hey Chen, I think we can work together tonight to study the third way to cook potatoes."
Chen Xia scratched his head. Why did he feel like he was back in his youth? Studying potato cooking techniques with a foreign woman late at night?
I'm afraid she wants to study his strengths and weaknesses, while he can study her depths?
"Ahem, I have kidney deficiency recently. Next time, next time."
"What the hell is kidney deficiency?"
Everyone was very puzzled after hearing this. Many male doctors looked at Chen Xia as if he were a fool. He couldn't even seize such a good opportunity. Poor Chinese.
If Chen Xia knew this, she would definitely burst into tears.
After sending away these foreign doctors, Chen Xia had to take out some braised meat and salted duck from the space. At the same time, he managed to save a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a pot of hot shredded pork, so that the elder sisters could have a delicious meal.
While eating, Chen Chun asked curiously, "Where's the beef stew with potatoes you just bought?"
Chen Xia said unhappily, "They were kidnapped by some goblins."
Chen Chun: “…”
The next day, Chen Xia and three others went to the hospital to fill out some forms and disclaimers, preparing to officially start the clinical trial tomorrow.
Accompanied by Professor Gregory, Chen Xia and his companions visited some equipment and facilities of Wellington Hospital, with the focus of course on the inpatient department of gastroenterology.
This made Chen Chun, Zheng Haisheng and Xuan Yongda open their eyes wide. They felt that this hospital was so advanced that they had never even heard of many of the examination equipment.
Only Chen Xia seemed indifferent. He had never heard of many of the inspection machines because they had long been obsolete when he worked in his previous life. Why should he be surprised by the "outdated" machines that were destined to be eliminated?
After staying in the hospital for most of the day, Chen Xia and his friends went to the supermarket for a stroll. They had already decided to prepare all their own meals for the next few days.
What's the food served in the Wellington Hospital cafeteria? It's either sandwiches or mashed potatoes, with a side of vegetable salad and a hard-boiled egg. Chen Chun and the others said they lost their appetite just looking at it, let alone eating it.
The Chinese have the most discerning stomachs in the world.
Western food looks beautiful, romantic and stylish, but if you were to eat it every day for a week, 99% of Chinese people would not be able to stand it.
There were a lot of food ingredients in the supermarket. As a woman, Chen Chun was more adept at comparing prices. Suddenly, she tugged at Chen Xia's clothes:
"Second brother, look, this big bag of pig's trotters is only 10 pence, just like giving it away for free. Let's buy it. How about having braised pig's trotters tonight?"
After Chen Chun said this, everyone nodded repeatedly. How many people in China don’t like to chew pig’s trotters?
Again, the Chinese people in 1984 were really starving. Now, when they see pig's trotters at such a low price, their instant reaction is "I must eat my fill and then return home."
If it were possible to carry them all, Chen Chun would have packed up all the pig's trotters in London and taken them home.
This made Chen Xia think. The meat in English supermarkets seemed to be really cheap, and they basically would not eat animal offal, pig's trotters, pig's heads, etc. They were usually recycled into feed.
But these things are really good treasures in China. Why not do a big purchase before returning home? It would be nice to share a few pounds of pork trotters and beef with all relatives and friends.
After returning to the hospital apartment, the four of them started packing the pig's trotters. A bag of 5 kilograms of pig's trotters cost only 10 pence. Even Director Xuan was amazed. It was really too damn cheap.
So everyone is working very hard.
Chen Xia was still the head chef. This time he used the later cooking method to braise the pork trotters. In the final step of adding water, he did not use water, but poured in 5 bottles of beer. Then he boiled it over high heat and then turned to medium or low heat to simmer for 30 minutes.
This was actually the most common cooking method that Old Lady Yin made at home in her previous life. The pig's trotters stewed with beer are not only soft and glutinous, but also not greasy at all. However, this magical operation left Chen Chun and the others stunned.
Beer stew?
In 1984, beer was rare in a small city like Yuezhou. At just a few cents a bottle, it wasn't affordable for everyone. No one would use their precious beer to make stews.
Only a prodigal like Chen Xia would do such a thing.
After 30 minutes, the pig's trotters were basically stewed soft. Add appropriate amount of salt and light soy sauce for seasoning. The aroma of meat came out all at once and began to float in the doctor's apartment, lingering for a long time.
Now, almost all the residents of the doctors' apartment were in an uproar. If there were more than ten doctors watching yesterday, then today there were almost a dense crowd of people outside the kitchen, including doctors of all skin colors.
But everyone's expression was the same, with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, as if they were eager to give it to me to taste.
Dr. Eric and Dr. Carol squeezed to the front of the crowd again, and they threw such seductive glances at Chen Chun that she almost had no time to cover her husband and brother's eyes.
