Chapter 121 A Good Start
"Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Lu Chen brought Cheng Wanying upstairs. After taking a night train and tossing around for a long time, she was exhausted and sat directly on the bed.
The bed was so soft that when she sat on it, she felt like she was sinking into it.
"This bed is very comfortable." She was very satisfied.
"I made two beds. Nuonuo said your leg injury was not serious and it would be uncomfortable to sleep on a hard bed."
"What a filial child. The more I see her, the more I like her."
"Mom, she left some duck food for you when she left. You can take a rest first. I'll make some for you to try at lunch."
"Okay, okay, Nuonuo's cooking, I have to try it."
It's lunch time.
Xu Nuo took out the duck he had brought for his colleagues. The duck was well-cooked and the smell was extremely tempting.
All of a sudden, everyone in the office gathered around.
"Doctor Xu, what delicious food did you make? It smells really good." Zhou Zheng came over and said shamelessly, "Can we have a taste?"
Wang Fang also took the opportunity to say: "I usually like spicy food. When I smell this, I can't even walk. Can I try it too?"
"This is duck food." Jin Yue was afraid that so many people would give her all of it, so she said hurriedly, "This is what Xu Nuo brought me. You can try it, but you can't let me eat it all."
"Can you eat so much by yourself?" Zhou Zheng asked.
Jin Yue said: "If I can't eat it, I can take it back!"
"You eat and take at the same time!"
"That is."
Xu Nuo laughed when he heard this: "I brought a lot, so everyone has a share, but it's impossible to eat your fill, so we can only try it first."
"Just try it."
"Yes, yes, yes, this smell is enough to make you hungry. I wonder how it tastes."
Jin Yue couldn't help it anymore, so she reached out, pinched a piece and put it into her mouth.
Her eyes lit up immediately, and she licked her fingers and nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious, it's so delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious since I was a child. Nuonuo, it tastes much better than the braised chicken we bought yesterday!"
After she said this, everyone immediately rushed over, you grabbed a piece, I grabbed a piece, and in the blink of an eye, the whole box of duck was eaten up.
“Delicious! So delicious!”
"Nono, did you do all this? You are so skillful, aren't you?"
Xu Nuo felt very happy when he saw that everyone spoke highly of this duck.
"Yes, I made this, but I only made this much and it's gone once we finished eating it. It's very time-consuming to make this, so I don't plan to make it in the future," Xu Nuo said.
"Ah? That's such a pity! We think this is delicious and want you to make more." Wang Fang couldn't stop eating it once she started. The more she ate, the more she became addicted.
"How about this, we give you money and you make something for us. You've only had this one bite and you're not full at all." Zhou Zheng was also greedy.
"Yes, yes. Otherwise, if you can do more for us, we can give you money."
"Since you all like it so much, I won't make it anymore, but my neighbor does. I'll ask you the price later. If you want to eat it, I'll bring you some." Xu Nuo said.
"Okay! That's great. I like eating duck necks. Can you bring me two pounds of duck necks?"
"I want six duck legs."
"I want two pounds of duck gizzards and duck intestines..."
Xu Nuo: "I haven't asked for the price for you yet."
"It doesn't matter. I have to buy something to eat. Otherwise, I won't be able to calm down."
In the blink of an eye, the entire pediatric department ordered more than 20 kilograms of duck products.
Xu Nuo had no choice but to write all this down and wait to talk to Bai Qiu Ning and Liao Hong after returning to see if they could do more and send the patient to the hospital.
After work, Xu Nuo hurried home. When she arrived at the military compound, she first went to the service center to buy vegetables in preparation for cooking for her mother-in-law and Lu Chen in the evening.
Aunt Tong saw Xu Nuo coming to buy vegetables, so she came over and said to her: "Nuo Nuo, don't buy vegetables anymore. Your mother-in-law and Captain Lu have come to buy vegetables. I guess the vegetables are ready for you now. Go back and eat the ready-made ones."
"Really? Thank you, Aunt Tong. I'll go back now."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
As soon as Xu Nuo returned home, she saw that the food was already on the table, and Cheng Wanying and Lu Chen were already sitting at the table waiting for her.
"Nono is back, come on, let's have dinner! Today is Chenchen's birthday, let's have a couple of drinks together."
Xu Nuo was stunned.
She remembered Lu Chen said he didn't celebrate his birthday.
Lu Chen nodded at her: "I don't want to celebrate my birthday, but I can't get away from mom. Come on, let's have a couple of drinks."
"Okay then!" Xu Nuo sat down and picked up his glass, "Then we wish you a happy birthday!!"
Lu Chen's lips curled slightly: "Thank you, Mom, thank you Nuonuo!"
As a soldier, there are rules in the army and you are not allowed to drink alcohol on weekdays.
Today is his birthday, and he reluctantly drank two glasses and then stopped.
Cheng Wanying and Xu Nuo also knew the military discipline and stopped trying to persuade him.
The family ate their meal happily.
Cheng Wanying ate the duck food Xu Nuo made and praised her highly: "It tastes really good. I didn't expect you to be so clever and skillful."
"I didn't expect that. I just made it casually and everyone thought it was delicious. By the way, Mom, I brought some to my colleagues today. Everyone tried it and thought it was delicious. Everyone ordered more than 20 kilograms of duck products in one go."
"That's great. I heard from Lu Chen that you were doing business with someone, so you've made a good start!"
"Well, it's a good sign anyway."
"You have a head for business." Cheng Wanying thought of her disappointing son. "Some people are too ambitious and can't do anything well."
Xu Nuo waved his hands again and again: "Mom, I don't have any business acumen, and my ambition is not here. However, it's not bad to make more money these days. It can be regarded as a sideline for me. By the way, Mom, since you are here, you should stay for a while. I can not only cook duck products, but also other things. I will cook them all for you to taste."
Speaking of this, Cheng Wanying couldn't help but sighed: "I have to stay for a few more days. Did Chenchen tell you about all the troubles at home? About the second son and his wife?"
"I heard that Lu Feng lost money in his business?"
Cheng Wanying couldn't help but feel upset: "Isn't it? He had high aspirations but poor skills. He said he was doing some clothing business, but ended up losing money. A while ago, he asked for money again, saying he wanted to go dig coal, and asked me for money again. I can't give it to him if I don't give it to him, and I can't give it to him if I give it to him. This is because he has no other choice, so he ran to your place to hide away.
