Chapter 71 The Sparkling Mother
Shen Ci herself had never eaten French food in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so based on the principle of trusting authority, she booked a two-star Michelin restaurant.
Unlike the stereotyped dark, luxurious style of French restaurants, this restaurant's overall decoration is exquisite and bright, and the custom-made tableware is shining under the crystal chandeliers.
The restaurant has reserved a window seat, and outside the window is the view of the Duyou River. The river surface reflects the beautiful sunset glow, and you can also see the buildings standing on the other side of the river in the distance.
Having never eaten in such a high-end restaurant before, Shen Yingying felt a little reserved but also slightly excited.
"Rich people know how to enjoy life. I can eat two more bowls of rice in such an environment."
She looked at her sister and asked, "Sister, have you ever had French food?"
Shen Jingjing seemed much calmer than her sister. After all, Ruili was an international five-star hotel, and the restaurants inside were also very high-end.
But she had never eaten French food.
He shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten it, but French food is generally recognized as the most expensive in international cuisine. Our hotel is like that. French breakfast is much more expensive than Chinese breakfast."
Chen Ci nodded and agreed, "Yes, French cuisine is the best among Western cuisines, but people are shaped by their environment, and many Chinese people may not be used to it the first time."
At this time, the waiter served several people a few glasses of water and then presented a bilingual menu.
Shen Ci handed the menu to her mother and aunt: "Just take a look at what you want to eat and order whatever you want."
When they opened the menu, they were dumbfounded just by looking at the names of the dishes.
Classic French slow-cooked beef with wild mushrooms and red wine sauce.
French white wine mussels with fennel and rapeseed truffles.
Wild veal tenderloin with Provençal tomato sauce.
Three-flowered chicken cheese tart with classic French omelette.
"What are these?" Shen Yingying's mind was full of questions. She knew the words, but she had no idea what these dishes should look like.
There wasn't even a picture on the menu.
Shen Jingjing also smiled, and handed the menu to her daughter: "Aci, you order, your aunt and I will follow your arrangements."
Shen Ci nodded. Anyway, she knew her mother and aunt's tastes.
Shen Ci ordered seven or eight dishes in one breath before giving up, and then chose a bottle of white wine.
"Still drinking?"
Looking at the wine brought by the waiter, Shen Yingying was slightly surprised.
The beautiful and exquisite wine bottle is inserted upside down in the ice bucket, and you can tell from the looks of it that the taste must be good.
"French food is only authentic when paired with white wine. Aunt, I remember you love drinking," Chen Ci said.
Shen Yingying smiled sheepishly: "I liked to drink when I was young, but I've been drinking less in recent years."
"I'm happy today, I should drink something." Shen Jingjing suddenly said.
Shen Ci and her aunt were both stunned, as if they had not expected these words to come out of their mother's mouth, who had never actively advocated drinking.
After coming to her senses, Shen Yingying nodded repeatedly: "That's right, we have to celebrate your dismissal today!"
Shen Jingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, anyway, I'm happy today, so I can celebrate anything."
Several people were chatting and laughing. Even though it was the first time for mother and aunt to eat in such a place, they did not spoil the fun. Instead, they devoted themselves to enjoying it. Shen Ci felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, a commotion suddenly broke out on the other side of the restaurant.
The noise was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention of all the guests in the restaurant. The originally harmonious dining environment suddenly became tense.
Chen Ci and the others also stood up subconsciously, but they didn't know what was happening over there so they didn't rush forward and just watched from a distance.
Amid the commotion, frantic cries for help were heard.
"Can anyone help? Is there a doctor?"
"Xiao Li, call 120, quick!"
"It's been fought, what should we do, Mr. Li?"
Several people in suits looked anxious, and their panicked tone was filled with fear.
A pale man was lying on the ground, motionless, as if he had no signs of life.
The guests around instinctively stepped back when they saw this scene.
Some people whispered, looking regretful.
Some people felt it was unlucky and quickly paid the bill and left.
The restaurant staff had obviously never encountered such a situation before, and no one dared to step forward to rescue.
Even the manager could only offer words of comfort: "Don't worry, sir. The nearest hospital is less than a kilometer away. The ambulance will be here soon."
But seeing that the man on the ground had stopped breathing and his chest had stopped rising and falling, the faces of the people traveling with him were even paler than the man lying on the ground, and they all looked at a loss.
At this time, Shen Jingjing, who found something wrong, took the initiative to walk over, and Shen Ci hurriedly followed when he saw this.
As she got closer, she saw faint rashes on the man's exposed arms and neck. Shen Jingjing's mind flashed through what she had learned in the hotel training class.
The man in front of me is not dead yet. The red rashes confirm that he is in anaphylactic shock!
This situation is very dangerous. If emergency measures are not taken in time, the man in front of me may be in danger of his life at any time!
Without any hesitation, Shen Jingjing walked forward and knelt beside the man. Under everyone's shocked gaze, she quickly unbuttoned his shirt that was tight around his neck.
Then fold your hands and place them on the other person's chest, and start emergency first aid using standard CPR posture.
Shen Ci was also shocked. She never knew her mother could perform CPR, but seeing her calmness and serious expression, Shen Ci only felt that her mother was shining at this moment.
"Are you a medical worker?" someone asked with gratitude.
Shen Jingjing's hands kept moving, and she responded, "No, but I've learned it. He's in anaphylactic shock. We have to give him first aid while waiting for the ambulance to arrive, otherwise his life will be in danger."
After saying that, Shen Jingjing pinched the man's nose, then pinched his chin with her hand to make his mouth slightly open, took a deep breath and stuck it directly on him.
Blowing air into the man's mouth is a standard first aid method of artificial respiration.
Shen Yingying's eyes widened when she saw this scene.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration were repeated over and over again. Shen Jingjing was so tired that a thin layer of sweat oozed out of her forehead, but she never stopped.
Everyone around was watching her nervously as she rescued people, and no one dared to make any sound.
After an unknown amount of time, the man lying on the ground suddenly began to foam from the corners of his mouth, and then white liquid kept flowing out of his mouth.
Shen Jingjing's face lit up when she saw this. She didn't care whether the white vomit was dirty or not. She reached into the man's mouth and took out all the remaining vomit in his mouth to prevent him from choking on the vomit.
"He's breathing, his chest is moving!"
At this time, someone discovered that the man had regained his breathing and immediately exclaimed.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and at this time the sound of the ambulance siren finally came from far away.
Shen Jingjing collapsed on the ground exhausted, and the restaurant immediately erupted in warm applause. Everyone looked at her with respect.
Another day of crying over my own stupidity. I arrived at the high-speed train station and realized I forgot my laptop. I wrote this chapter on my phone. It took me two fucking hours. How could I not go into shock? I might as well die.
