We made an appointment to have a weekend break at a state-owned restaurant near Qianmen.
Jiang Cha arrived early and took advantage of the fact that there were few people around to grab a table. He agreed to treat Dr. Su to a meal and asked Sister Xiao Wu to come along so that they wouldn't feel awkward while eating together.
That's right, Doctor Su has red lips, white teeth, wears glasses, and speaks in a gentle manner. She is a well-known beauty in the hospital and is the secret crush of Sister Xiaowu in the police station.
Such a popular man, in Jiang Cha's eyes, was awkward in every way. Perhaps it was because of their natural aura incompatibility, but seeing him automatically raised her mental defenses.
That night was a life-saving favor, so it would be inappropriate not to treat her to a meal. Uncle Liu suggested inviting Sister Xiaowu along; she would definitely be overjoyed.
"Are we late? We were already off duty when another patient came in, and our doctor Su finished examining the patient before leaving."
There weren't many people here today, and she took a table without ordering any food, so the waiters who came by glared at her a lot.
Finally they are here, don’t say anything and order the food quickly!
"Doctor Su is here to treat you to a meal today, to thank you for your help the other day. Don't be polite, let's order quickly! Otherwise, the waiter will almost kick me out."
"Okay, I won't be polite then. I'll have the liver tip, and you two can order the rest."
"I want some shredded potatoes with vinegar."
He stood up, went to the window to order food, knocked on the glass and shouted to the person inside.
"Sister, please order."
I don't know if they are eating or doing something inside, the waiter asked with a stern face while wiping his mouth.
"Eat quickly. You're in a hurry now. Why did you come here so early? What time is it? Next time, eat earlier so you don't have to take up space with him."
You can't afford to offend them, you can't afford to offend them. You can't hit customers when they are on duty. I'm not just saying this casually.
"Next time I'll make sure to order three bowls of fried liver, braised pork, shredded potatoes with vinegar, egg soup, and rice."
I took out the money and ticket and handed them into the window swiftly, and only then did the person say a word to me.
"The money is just right. I'll call you when the food is ready."
Sitting at the table, I touched my face with a look of heartache. Paying money and then being scolded is a special service in this era, and everyone is the same.
"The liver tip is ready"
Just as he was about to get up, Doctor Su held his shoulders.
"I'll go."
"Shua"
I got goosebumps for no reason, but I couldn't say anything in front of Sister Xiaowu, so I just rubbed my legs silently to relieve the pain.
"Ouch! Young man, go easy, the plate is hot. Bring the soup and braised pork over later. I'll get you some hot rice first. It's freshly steamed."
Doctor Su brought back two dishes and turned around to get something else.
Jiang Cha complained in her heart, "Big sister, you should be so considerate of me. Just say he's handsome, but you shouldn't be so considerate. You're making it seem like he's a relative of hers. Where's the poor service attitude you promised me?"
There was a stove inside the house, bigger than the one at home, and a cotton curtain hung at the door, making it much warmer than outside, but the food got cold very quickly because it had been left out for a long time.
Not long after eating, a layer of white grease solidified under the plate of liver tips.
The dish, which already had a fishy smell, became even more pungent. She didn't eat a single bite. The braised pork was fine while hot, but it would be even worse when it cooled.
Finish the meal with ginger tea and hot soup to warm up your stomach.
After dinner, we chatted for a while before Dr. Su had to go back to work. Xiao Wu's sister also had something to do, so everyone dispersed at the hotel entrance to go about their own business.
She rode her bike to Uncle Liu's house, leaving Auntie alone at home. She walked into the house with her bag and gulped down a large cup of hot water without hesitation.
"Your uncle said you treated people to a meal. Did you eat too much? Or were you not full?"
Aunt Liu sat on the sofa and watched her drink water, as heroic as a cow. She looked like she had been thirsty for three days, not like someone who had just returned home fully fed and watered.
"Don't mention it. It's cold, and the liver and braised pork are already clotted after just two bites. The same goes for the braised pork. I feel like the meat oil is stuck in my throat after eating the whole meal."
Aunt Liu frowned and looked disgusted.
"Because of what you said, I don't even want to go out to eat. I'll make you some tea to help you get rid of the greasiness."
After that, she made herself a cup of tea, adding two large pinches of tea leaves. The first cup was bitter. My aunt's expensive tea leaves were free of charge, and they were effective in removing greasiness and even removing oil.
She drank the first cup with a grin on her face, and the tea leaves in the second cup were almost coming out of the cup, which shows how much she put in.
"Aunt Liu, I went to Bao City a few days ago and brought back some donkey meat. Please decide how to eat it. It's good for your health when it's cold. I bought it with the skin on."
Put the donkey meat on the windowsill outside as soon as you enter the house, and heat it up inside until it melts.
In winter, meat can either be frozen outside or stored safely all winter so that it will not go bad.
Either you thaw it and cook it before eating. Repeated thawing will make the meat lose its freshness.
"What a great thing! I haven't had donkey meat hotpot in years. Donkey meat restaurants aren't very common these days. Drinking a bowl of donkey meat soup in the middle of winter is more nourishing than mutton!"
You bought the one with the skin on. You're not a big person, but you're quite particular about it. The skin is good for replenishing blood, and donkey-hide gelatin is made from the skin."
I received a lot of compliments and had long seen through Aunt Liu's true nature. She was a foodie just like her.
When I left, I gave her a box of chocolates so she could eat them slowly in the winter.
She was alone at her grandma's house, so she put the donkey meat in the small warehouse, planning to have Lei Zi eat it together at home in a couple of days.
I advised her to eat the food that was left at home first, but the old lady was annoyed by her nagging and kicked her out directly, and put a big bag of dried longans in the basket.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Qin went last, as they were all in the same compound, which was more convenient.
Aunt Liu is the only one at home. Goudan and Erbei are both serving in the army, so Uncle Zhao must be on duty.
Aunt Liu asked her to try on the newly knitted woolen trousers to see if there were any problems with the size or fit.
