The Changping branch has several residential buildings for family members, one of which was given to doctors from Union Hospital as a temporary dormitory.
It was already noon at this time. Since the Changping branch did not have a cafeteria, both hospitals cooked in the courtyard of the staff building.
At the Union Hospital, they steam steamed buns, and boiled radishes in salt water, or some pickles. This is already the business trip allowance. The conditions are pretty good, at least you can eat your fill.
But at noon today, the staff of Union Hospital were obviously not in the mood to eat steamed buns. They all looked at the stove of the Chinese Medicine Hospital with blurred eyes and stood there drooling.
At the stove of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, Chef Zhao was using a wood stove with a blazing fire. He then used an iron pan in one hand and a spoon in the other to stir-fry the famous Sichuan dish "Twice-Cooked Pork".
The characteristics of twice-cooked pork are that it is heavy in oil, spicy and numbing. Add broad bean paste and side dishes, and it makes a sizzling sound, and the aroma fills the whole yard. Not to mention stir-fried meat, even stir-fried leather shoe soles will be fragrant.
How many people can resist the aroma of oil mixed with the aroma of meat?
Especially when you are extremely hungry, this is definitely atomic bomb-level damage.
The staff at Union Hospital were all crying tears of envy, weren't they? I'm absolutely not exaggerating; tears welled up in their eyes. Of course, some were also crying out of anger.
The aroma of twice-cooked pork has not yet disappeared, and when the lid is lifted over there, the smell of stewed bones with sauerkraut wafts over.
In front of all the staff of Union Hospital, Xiao Xu, the kitchen assistant, picked up a large bone with meat on it, tore off a small piece of meat to taste, and then shouted exaggeratedly:
"Hmm, the meat is cooked, sour and salty, and well-seasoned. Master, can we take it out of the pot now?"
Chef Zhao took a huge basin and placed it beside him:
"Pour all the meat, bones, and side dishes here. Dinner will be served soon. Section Chief Lin said that employees can eat as much as they want without any restrictions."
On the other side, after hearing this, the kitchen assistant Xiao Li opened the steamer, revealing the white flour buns inside. The aroma of flour drifted towards the staff of Union Hospital again.
Dean Shen did not show up, and Lin Sanqi and Yang Shaohua from the General Affairs Department were in charge of the situation.
"Come on, come on, Chinese Medicine Hospital staff, take yourselves to yourselves. There are only two dishes for lunch today: stir-fried meat and stewed meat with pickled mustard greens. The staple food is white flour buns. There are no vegetables. Please bear with us. The hospital has arranged for people to go to the mountains to collect wild vegetables. We will try to make sure everyone has something to eat tonight."
The people at Union Hospital were stunned. Is this even human language? No vegetables, only meat dishes?
The staff at the Chinese Medicine Hospital couldn't hold back any longer. When they heard that dinner was ready, although they didn't rush in like hungry tigers, they all kept shouting:
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up, the ones in front are quicker, oh my god, it smells so good~~"
"Didn't our hospital give out so much meat~~"
"As long as there's something to eat, it's fine. Oh my god, my mouth is watering. I can't take it any longer. Can you please let me cut in line~~"
The first person in line at the Chinese Medicine Hospital was Doctor He Yixuan. He took out a bowl and filled it with twice-cooked pork, which was so thick that it was sticking out.
He took out a large enamel basin and filled it with a cup of pickled cabbage, meat and bones.
Finally, he came to the steamer, took four steamed buns in his hand, one in his mouth, and two under his arms, then left satisfied.
Lin Sanqi watched from the side and covered his eyes, saying softly:
"It's not that serious. Don't take so much at once. Take only as much as you can eat. You can add more if you don't have enough. Don't let the comrades across from the Union Hospital laugh at us and say we are starving ghosts reincarnated."
The staff at Union Medical College were about to cry again, thinking, "I want to starve to death too, but I don't have the chance~~~"
Sure enough, Liu Kuisheng, who was the second in line, had already understood the leader's intention.
He was seen holding a plate, putting a small amount of twice-cooked pork in it, and taking out a steamed bun, then he deliberately said loudly and pretentiously:
"Why are you eating meat again? Can't you just have some plain cabbage or salted radish? Eating meat every day is unhealthy and will increase your blood lipids."
If Lin Sanqi hadn't seen Doctor Liu's Adam's apple moving constantly, he would have almost believed what he said.
I secretly gave him a thumbs up in my heart. Lin Sanqi gave him full marks for this show-off!
Sure enough, Union Hospital exploded when they heard this:
"Oh my god, they eat meat every day in a Chinese medicine hospital?"
"I'm tired of eating meat, and I want to eat vegetables? Is that even human language?"
"Why is it that the food at Union Hospital is not as good as that at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, even though we are both hospitals?"
One staff member at Xiehe Hospital threw his bowl and yelled in anger, "Yes, call Dean Tu. What's going on?"
"That's right. We have so many patients at Union Hospital and our business is so booming, so why don't they even give us a piece of meat to eat?"
"What does a dean do? If the Chinese Medicine Hospital can do it, why can't Dean Tu and Vice Dean Ye? Is it because they lack leadership skills?"
The anger of the staff at Union Hospital was finally ignited, and they began to curse. Their words were full of strong dissatisfaction with the leadership of their own hospital, and then they expressed envy and jealousy towards the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Lin Sanqi decided to add fuel to the fire and warned the staff at the Chinese Medicine Hospital:
"Comrades who have received the food, please do not take it back to the dormitory to eat. Dean Shen has instructed that all of it should be eaten here. The more delicious it is, the better. If you don't enjoy it, there will be no meat tomorrow."
When everyone heard this, they understood that this was intentional to make them hate each other.
"If it were any other hospital, we could let it go, but since it's our sworn enemy, there's nothing else to say. We have to deal with them."
At Liu Kuisheng's call, all the staff at the Chinese medicine hospital either stood or squatted, and then started eating.
While eating, he smacked his lips and said, "Delicious, really delicious!"
"Mmm, this meat is so fatty, it melts in your mouth when you take a bite!"
"This pickled cabbage is great. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some to cook with meat later!"
The more the people at the Chinese Medicine Hospital enjoyed their meal, the angrier the people at the Union Hospital became. They were almost going crazy, and the steamed buns in their hands no longer tasted delicious.
After a while, Dean Tu of Union Hospital came to the door with a threatening look on his face.
When Dean Tu saw the scene at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, and then looked at the greasy twice-cooked pork in the pot and the fragrant pickled cabbage and bones, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then he started cursing:
“Shen Guoming, you bastard, get out of here!”
After a long time, Dean Shen slowly walked out of the house, holding a blackened steamed bun in his hand, which looked unpalatable.
"Hey, isn't this Old Butcher? Why are you cursing like a shrew? Have you given up on your intellectual demeanor?"
"Chen Guoming, look at what you did, is it human? I think you did it on purpose, just to disgust us at Concord Hospital. Your intentions are so vicious!!!"
When Dean Tu saw Dean Shen, his face turned red with anger.
He was treating patients in the outpatient clinic and was already exhausted, but then a group of employees rushed in and scolded him for being incompetent and starving his troops without asking any questions.
Who can tolerate this?
Don't doubt the workers of this era. They really dare to point their fingers at their leaders and scold them. In a few years, directly beating and scolding leaders will be a piece of cake...
Dean Shen is someone who is simply disgusted with Union Medical College, but he would never admit it.
"Old Tu, I think you are getting older. Now that the epidemic has broken out, the employees are working overtime day and night to see doctors. Aren't they tired? Isn't it hard work? Look at their haggard faces. Don't we, as leaders, feel distressed?
"Feeling sorry isn't just talk; it requires concrete action. We need to encourage employees spiritually and provide them with material support. "Is there anything wrong with me feeding them, giving them some meat, and supplementing their nutrition? How can I be considered malicious?"
The staff at the Chinese Medicine Hospital suddenly burst into applause:
"Dean Shen is right~~~"
"Dean Shen is truly a good dean for the people~~~"
The staff at Union Hospital also nodded slightly. What is the role of a leader? Doctors serve the people, so shouldn't leaders serve the staff?
Director Shen from the Chinese Medicine Hospital is right.
How could Dean Tu not see Dean Shen's little thoughts? After hearing this, he snorted coldly:
"Protecting the employees? I think you're trying to sow discord and disrupt the morale of our Union Hospital. You deserve to be punished! I just can't believe that the food at your Chinese Medicine Hospital is this good every day!"
Dean Shen was still in no hurry. He took out the steamed bread in his hand and said with a smile:
"Yeah, of course we can't eat this well every day at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, but now is a critical moment. What's wrong with giving the staff some meat? What's wrong with that? Besides, our leadership doesn't eat meat. Look, I'm just eating steamed bread. What selfish motives do I have?"
The staff of Union Hospital looked at the black steamed bread in Dean Shen’s hand, and they were all filled with emotion.
"Look, this is what a good dean is..."
"The director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital has noble ideas. We should learn from him..."
"One soldier is a scoundrel, and the rest of the generals are scoundrels. Alas, our Union Hospital cannot compare to their Chinese Medicine Hospital..."
When these words were spoken, everyone at the Chinese medicine hospital's eyes lit up. They had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
Dean Tu was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he yelled:
"Wu Shunyan, where did he go?"
The head of the logistics department of Union Hospital rushed out, knowing that something was wrong:
"Wu Shunyan, get me a cart of meat right now. Pork, beef, or mutton is fine. Tonight, this very night, I must let my employees eat meat!"
Section Chief Wu almost vomited blood after hearing this:
"Dean, how about we replace the pork with cabbage? I can still find a way to replace the cabbage, but the pork is really..."
Dean Tu glared at Section Chief Wu coldly and walked away:
"I want pork. If there's no pork, you can quit your job and become a warehouse keeper tomorrow, humph!"
Section Chief Wu sat down on the ground and yelled towards the Chinese Medicine Hospital:
"God damn it, where did you get this pork? Did it fall from the sky? Where can I buy pork in the market? This is driving me crazy!!!"
The staff at the Chinese Medicine Hospital were all laughing. Lin Sanqi really wanted to say:
"Want some pork? Exchange it for some ginseng..." (End of this chapter)
