When it was time to eat, the caregiver noticed that several elderly people hadn't come to eat yet. She went outside and found them eating fried skewers at the door.
At first, there were only two or three people, but then more people were drawn out by the aroma, and it turned into seven or eight elderly men and women squatting at the entrance of the nursing home eating fried skewers.
The caregiver who was called in was so shocked by the scene that he almost fainted.
You should know that many of the elderly people who come to their nursing home are not in good health and their children are worried about them living alone at home, so they pay to enter the nursing home. There are dedicated caregivers to take care of them, nutritionists to be in charge of their diet, and a medical team that is available 24 hours a day.
Deep-fried foods like fried skewers are not even on the nutritionist's customized menu!
"Aunt Hu, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Wang... why are you eating fried skewers here?!"
When they saw the caregiver arrive, the elderly men and women felt a moment of guilt, but then they became confident again.
They're here to retire, not to go to jail. What's wrong with them eating some fried skewers?
"I haven't had this in a while, I'm craving it. Sakura, do you want some? Let me tell you, these fried skewers are incredibly delicious, you've definitely never had such good fried skewers before."
Sakura doesn't want to eat and wants to go crazy!
Who says that elderly people in nursing homes are easier to take care of than children in kindergarten?
When elderly people get willful, their power can be no less than that of children.
But the salary for a nursing home caregiver is higher than that for a kindergarten teacher, so she can do it!
Sakura mentally cheered herself up and put on a gentle smile. "No, the kitchen has already prepared the food. Would you like to go back and eat some more? Just eating fried skewers might not be enough to fill you up."
"I'm a little thirsty after eating, I'll go back and have some soup."
The elderly folks thought it made sense; after eating so much spicy fried skewers, a little soup would be just right to cleanse their palates.
"Let's go, Sakura. These fried skewers are really delicious. You'll regret it if you don't try them."
"Yes, yes, have you ever heard the saying, 'If you don't listen to the advice of the elders, you'll suffer the consequences'?"
As Xiaoying listened to the old people's words, she also became interested in the fried food stall next to her.
But she's still at work and can't eat it right now. She can buy some to take home for dinner after get off work.
"Okay, I'll come and try it after get off work."
The elderly folks didn't forget to greet Lin Zhou when they went back to eat.
Because of the delicious fried skewers, these elderly people were very enthusiastic towards Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou also ate some fried skewers to fill his stomach.
I must say, it really smells delicious.
He has loved fried skewers since he was a child. He doesn't usually eat them and doesn't crave them, but if he sees them on the street, he'll probably buy a couple.
It tastes delicious, has lots of ingredients, and is very satisfying.
I glanced at the time, and wow, it's already 12 o'clock!
It's been four hours since he set up his stall at eight o'clock.
Logically, they should have been able to close up shop, but only a tiny fraction of the ingredients they brought out had been sold.
Let's wait and see.
There are 16 hours left in this week's tasks.
In the middle of the day, after the elderly returned to the nursing home, Lin Zhou didn't have many guests, so he continued to take out his phone to kill time.
......
In the afternoon, some elderly people who had only eaten fried skewers and drunk some soup at noon saw that Lin Zhou was still setting up a stall at the door.
While the caregiver wasn't looking, he sneaked out to the door to order some fried skewers.
"Boss, fry me some more skewers, anything that won't hurt your teeth is fine."
"Sigh, my teeth started to get bad when I was in my fifties. They would hurt when I ate anything hard or cold. Now that I'm in my seventies, most of them have fallen out."
The elderly people are usually lonely, but it's a little better in the nursing home, where caregivers lead them in games, activities, and rehearsals every day.
Otherwise, it's even more lonely to be home alone when the children don't come home often.
Now, seeing Lin Zhou, who is about the same age as his own child, he finds himself talking more.
Lin Zhou was also a good listener. He didn't find the old people's ramblings annoying at all; on the contrary, he found them interesting.
"Actually, you could get dentures, which would allow you to eat more things."
"Sigh, dentures won't work either. My real teeth aren't stable and can't be fixed in place. Unless I have them all pulled and get dentures, but dentures are definitely not as good as real teeth and they're uncomfortable."
Lin Zhou didn't know anything about this, so he listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
A few more elderly people came out of the nursing home shortly after.
The area around Lin Zhou's stall also became lively.
Hu Yunhui brought several elderly ladies she was close to to buy things.
"Let me tell you, these vegetables are even tastier fried than meat. The cabbage is crisp and tender, the green beans are dry and fragrant, and the shiitake mushrooms are so delicious that they burst with juice when you bite into them, coated in a thin layer of batter that's incredibly fragrant."
While ordering skewers, Hu Yunhui introduced them to her group of older friends.
After ordering, she took out her phone and sent a message to her daughter, sharing that she had eaten some delicious fried skewers at the entrance of the nursing home.
The next second, my daughter called.
"Mom, you're actually eating fried skewers? Didn't you tell me that the fried skewers sold on the street are made with gutter oil, are junk food, and shouldn't be eaten because they're bad for your health? Do you remember what you said?"
On the other end of the phone, Song Chang, dressed like a strong woman, stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, and spoke.
I would take a short break by making a phone call to relieve eye strain.
Hu Yunhui was very embarrassed.
It seems that she did say that when she was young.
But those roadside stalls aren't exactly clean, and the kids are still young; eating too much of them can easily give them diarrhea.
"This is different. I checked the hygiene of the fried food stall, it was very clean, and the oil they used was also good oil. The aroma was different too."
"Tsk, your stomach isn't good, eat less. I've arranged my work, and I can rest tomorrow. I'll come see you then."
