Chapter 786 Famous Doctor
"I'm not busy recently, so it's okay for you to stay in Lianshan Town for two days. How about I treat you to dinner in the evening? It'll be like a welcome party for you." After Meng Bujiu served Jiang Fubao, he sat back in his seat, picked up the spoon, and drank the porridge in small sips. The fried dough sticks soaked in porridge tasted different, and he quite liked it.
"Okay, then I will definitely eat you up." Jiang Fubao smiled foolishly, not at all shy.
After breakfast, Meng Bujiu personally took her to the clinic.
Upon learning that Jiang Fubao had returned, the patients who wanted to see him lined up in a long queue and would rather wait a little longer to be seen by Jiang Fubao.
There were also those who were in so much pain that they could not bear it any longer and had to wait in line, so they asked Jiang Fubao's apprentice to treat them.
It’s not that other people’s medical skills are poor, but anyone who can pass Jiang Fubao’s test and be promoted to a doctor.
The medical skills are all good.
It's just the effect of the famous doctor.
Meng Bujiu was afraid of disturbing her, so he did not wait in front. Instead, he went to the backyard of the clinic and picked up a few medical books that Jiang Fubao often read to pass the time.
The clinic's cook would bring him drinks, fruits, dried fruits and cakes from time to time.
At noon, he went to Jiang's house for a meal, and his stomach was never empty, so much so that when it was time for dinner in the evening, Meng Bujiu didn't feel hungry.
"The food in your house is indeed good. I used to wonder why your servants are the fattest. Even your dogs, birds, and koi are fatter than those of other families. If I continue to eat this way, I will probably get fatter in less than half a year."
Meng Bujiu looked helpless as he spoke.
"I'm not hungry either. Look, it's so lively outside. In recent years, there are many more people in Lianshan Town. In the past, there was no one on the street at this time. Look, there are lights and decorations everywhere. I thought I was in Jiangnan. When you took me to Jiangnan before, the scene I saw was just like today."
Jiang Fubao stood on the second floor of the hospital and looked out the window.
The clinic was closed. There were a lot of used bowls and plates piled on the table on the second floor, and the servants were cleaning them up.
So from time to time, behind the two of them, they could hear the clanging of bells and the footsteps of servants walking up the stairs.
The streets outside the window are very busy, but the busiest place is not Wuji Street but Baishi Street.
At night, this street is the busiest.
All kinds of small vendors came out pushing carts.
There were vendors selling rice cakes, steamed buns, wontons and dried fruits, which was similar to modern night markets.
The price is low, and you can eat a few of these and feel full.
Jiang Fubao saw the dazzling red light coming from the Food Street not far away. Her eyes lit up and she said, "No problem, let's not go to the restaurant to eat. We're not that hungry anyway. Let's just go shopping and buy something fresh that we want to eat. How do you think?"
Seeing Jiang Fubao's eyes, how could Meng Bujiu refuse?
Not to mention going to the night market, even if it's to visit the underworld, as long as Fubao wants, he is willing to accompany him.
"Okay, if you want to go, let's go. Let's go." Meng Bujiu said with a smile.
The two walked out of the private room side by side. The stairs were not narrow, but Meng Bujiu was afraid that she would fall, so he walked down the stairs first, then raised his right hand and looked up at Jiang Fubao.
"Come, hold on to me." Afraid that Jiang Fubao would feel embarrassed, he pulled his sleeves forward so that he could hold on without touching his hands and just by placing them on his clothes.
Jiang Fubao smiled sweetly, stretched out her left hand and directly grabbed Meng Bujiu's wrist. Her thumb just pinched Meng Bujiu's crotch, and the warm touch made Meng Bujiu startled.
"Let's go, why are you still standing there?" Jiang Fubao didn't need any help at all, but since others cared about her and were worried about her, how could she refuse?
The two of them walked slowly down the stairs and left under the watchful eyes of the servants.
As soon as the two of them left, Jiang Ruyi's head popped out from behind the curtain.
"Hahaha, it looks like there's going to be a happy event in our family. I never thought that Brother Meng would pick this peach. No wonder he took such careful care of it, fearing that the peach would be blown by the wind or exposed to the scorching sun. It turns out he had been thinking about it for a long time."
Several cooks didn't understand what Jiang Ruyi said.
"Miss, what peaches? The peaches in the mansion are not ripe yet. Why didn't I see you watering our peach trees?"
Jiang Ruyi gave her a sidelong glance.
"Hurry back, or there will be no food for you."
She had nothing to explain, it was like playing the lute to a cow.
When it comes to food, the cook immediately becomes happy.
"Come on, come on, pack up and leave quickly. We have seafood to eat today. I haven't had this for a long time. I'm tired of it."
Jiang Huanyu came back before Jiang Fubao. In order to welcome her, Zhang Jinlan specially paid a high price to have someone transport a batch of seafood, which was delivered just this morning.
There was no time to prepare it at noon, so the Jiang family planned to eat only seafood at night. For this purpose, they specially prepared several bottles of jar wine, saying that they should be eaten with seafood.
The servants could also taste what the masters ate and drank.
The cooks spent the whole afternoon thinking about this.
"Should we leave some for the fourth young lady?" one of them asked.
"Of course we should keep some, but Fubao doesn't like seafood, so just keep a little to taste it. Let's go, finish cleaning and go back to eat."
In order to prepare for tonight’s meal, Jiang Ruyi didn’t eat much at noon.
As it was getting dark, her stomach started to growl.
The snow outside had stopped a long time ago, and the cold wind was blowing from nowhere, but it was surprisingly not cold.
The snow on the streets was cleaned up by the waiters of each shop.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his door, and every household is clean.
"There's water there, be careful not to get your shoes and socks wet, or you'll catch a cold."
Meng Bujiu saw that Jiang Fubao had been talking and not paying attention to the road, and was about to step into a puddle. He grabbed Jiang Fubao with his big hand, and had to use just the right amount of force, otherwise he would have pulled Jiang Fubao into his arms.
The tips of his ears quickly turned red, and then he pretended to be calm and reminded Jiang Fubao.
"Oh, I see. Look, there's some candied haws for sale there. I'm going to buy a bunch and bring one for Xuehuan. She loves it the most."
When they came out just now, Xue Huan wanted to follow, but Jiang Fubao didn't let her.
She loves seafood the most. We have seafood at home today, so let her go back and eat it first.
"Bu Jiu, do you really not like seafood?"
At noon, Jiang Fubao wanted the kitchen staff to prepare some for Meng Bujiu to try, but Meng Bujiu refused.
"It's not that I don't like them. Fish is fine, but crabs, shrimps, or clams are too much trouble to eat, and I don't like being served, so I just forget about them."
Meng Bujiu spoke out what was in his heart.
Most people like to eat seafood, which is rare in Ruling Prefecture and is sold at a very high price. It is sweet and delicious just by steaming it, but it is very troublesome to peel it, especially the shrimp. He would rather eat other things.
"Like me, I like steamed seafood, but not fried or cooked in other ways, because it loses its original flavor. But the original flavor means that my mother, grandma or Xue Huan has to peel it for me all the time, or cut the meat off, so I don't like it very much."
