Chapter 451: Eating and Taking
"The peach tree is young and lush, its flowers are bright and beautiful."
"When a son marries, he will be a good wife and a good family."
"The peach tree is young and lush, and its fruits are abundant..."
The transparent, clear and magnetic voice of the middle-aged man echoed melodiously and emotionally through the small speakers in the bedroom without any noise or light.
It also vibrated repeatedly in Yu Zhiming's eardrums.
Yu Zhiming stood motionless in front of the bed like a lifeless sculpture.
What outsiders didn't know was that Yu Zhiming had already mobilized his full mental and emotional energy, going all out to analyze the origin and process of this sound...
In the darkness of the bedroom, Yu Zhiming could clearly "see" the gas compressed in the lungs rushing out of the trachea and straight into the throat like a galloping horse.
After being restrained and channeled through the throat, the air rushed to the extremely tense vocal cords...
The impacted vocal cords create ripples that resonate and amplify through the pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity, and sinuses before bursting out of the mouth...
With Yu Zhiming's continuous refinement and adjustment, the places where the airflow and sound waves passed were reproduced and constructed.
Every detail becomes more and more vivid.
It was as if Yu Zhiming had performed a meticulous dissection on Zhao Zhiwen as he was reciting with rapt attention, even reproducing the movements of his throat muscles...
During his repeated recitations, Yu Zhiming realized that his ability to reproduce the working state and details of the vocal organs had reached its limit. When he could no longer make any progress, he began to move on to the next stage of work...
Find similarities and differences!
Comparing the before and after sound changes, we can see the subtle differences in how Zhao Zhiwen's various articulatory parts work.
Yu Zhiming first compared the vocal cords.
After comparing the tightness of the vocal cords, vibration amplitude, glottal closure, reaction speed, etc., Yu Zhiming came to a clear conclusion.
There is no aging degeneration of the vocal cords.
This means that Zhao Zhiwen's intuition was correct.
The change in his voice now is not caused by the second natural voice change of the human body.
After confirming this, Yu Zhiming began to look for possible causes step by step.
Let’s start with the lungs.
After comparison, he found that the speed and intensity of the air rushing out of the lungs were almost the same before and after.
Next is the trachea.
Yu Zhiming could not find any abnormalities in the thickness of the trachea or the condition of the inner wall of the trachea.
Then comes the throat...
Yu Zhiming was delighted to find that compared to before his voice changed, there was a noticeable bulge in Zhao Zhiwen's throat muscles.
Perhaps it is this obvious bulge that affects the airflow and causes the sound to change?
Yu Zhiming remembered this obvious abnormality, and then compared the similarities and differences between the pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity and sinuses before and after.
Nothing more was found.
Yu Zhiming stopped working and was about to leave the bedroom when he suddenly felt a headache.
At the same time, I was so anxious that my legs became weak and I couldn't stand.
Yu Zhiming knew in his heart that this was a symptom of excessive consumption and brain hypoxia.
He held his head with one hand, gasping for breath, and walked a few steps to the desk and sat down. He trembled and took out a few pieces of dark chocolate from the drawer and stuffed them into his mouth...
It was more than ten minutes later that Yu Zhiming felt better.
My headache is gone and my heart is no longer anxious.
"Damn, it's really not easy to earn this million."
Yu Zhiming sighed inwardly, stood up, tidied his clothes, turned on the bedroom light, turned off the small speaker that was playing on loop, and then pushed the door open and left the bedroom.
When Zhao Zhiwen heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he lost the calmness that a man in his fifties or sixties should have, and suddenly stood up from the sofa.
"Doctor Yu, have you found anything?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao, I've confirmed that this isn't the result of a second natural voice change."
"As for the specific cause, I need you to come to the room for further examination."
Yu Xiangwan also stood up and noticed that Yu Zhiming's face had turned pale.
She asked worriedly, "Old Five, you look a little pale, are you okay?"
Gu Qingning also said with concern: "Zhiming, are you overexerting yourself again? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "I've rested well, so the next examination won't take much energy."
"It should be done soon..."
Yu Zhiming once again placed his hand on Zhao Zhiwen's throat and easily found the muscle bulge on the inner wall of the throat.
He discovered that underneath this muscular bulge was an artery.
Superior laryngeal artery.
Yu Zhiming instantly understood that it was the expansion and enlargement of this artery that caused the bulge of muscle tissue.
There are two common situations in which blood vessels become abnormally thickened.
One is the stenosis of the distal arteries.
The proximal blood vessels will become thicker and dilated, and the walls will thicken due to increased pressure.
The second is inflammation, which can cause local blood vessel swelling, pain, and thickening.
Exploring blood vessels is the easiest thing for Yu Zhiming.
His attention focused on the superior laryngeal artery, and he immediately confirmed one thing: it was not inflammation.
Although he had extensive experience in vasculitis, he did not find any characteristics of inflammatory attacks on the blood vessel walls.
Yu Zhiming's attention followed the blood flow forward, and he finally found the problem not far away.
Hemangioma.
This hemangioma is generally a permanent, localized dilation or bulge caused by damage or lesions to the arterial wall and the continuous impact of blood flow.
Yu Zhiming discovered that the hemangioma at the end of the superior laryngeal artery basically blocked about two-thirds of the blood vessel.
After finding out the problem, Yu Zhiming couldn't help feeling depressed.
If I had known earlier that it was a vascular problem, it would have been better to explore the blood vessels at the beginning.
He had spent so much effort in reproducing and constructing it before, which gave him a headache and anxiety. It could be said that he had worked hard.
At this moment, Zhao Zhiwen's voice rang in Yu Zhiming's ears, "Doctor Yu, is the problem serious?"
Yu Zhiming withdrew his thoughts and saw that Zhao Zhiwen looked uneasy.
He withdrew his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just a small hemangioma. I need a minor surgery."
Yu Zhiming sat down at the desk, took out a pencil from the pen holder, and drew the superior laryngeal artery on the A4 paper with a few strokes.
The location of the hemangioma at the end was also marked.
"Mr. Zhao, it's this hemangioma that caused a blockage at the end of the superior laryngeal artery, causing the artery to become enlarged."
"This then causes strip-like ridges to appear on the inner wall of the throat, disrupting airflow and affecting vocalization."
Speaking of this, Yu Zhiming thought of something else.
"It's probably because of this hemangioma at the terminal end of the superior laryngeal artery that the muscles and tissues in the upper larynx are not getting enough blood, which leads to a weakening of the power and some changes in the voice."
Zhao Zhiwen felt that what Yu Zhiming said made sense, after all, he really found the problem.
"Doctor Yu, as long as this hemangioma is removed, my voice will be restored to normal, right?"
this……
Yu Zhiming replied cautiously, "That's the theory. However, the formation of sound is the result of the combined action of multiple organs."
"If the surgery causes changes in certain parts of your voice, perhaps your voice will also change."
After Yu Zhiming finished the vaccination, he said, "This is a delicate operation. I'm powerless to perform it. You can only contact a highly skilled surgical expert."
Before coming, Zhao Zhiwen had already learned that Dr. Yu was unparalleled in diagnosing physical problems.
But his problem-solving ability is just so-so and mediocre.
Zhao Zhiwen took the stick figure that Yu Zhiming handed over and said with gratitude, "Doctor Yu, I'm very grateful that you can find the real problem."
He folded the stick figure in half, put it in his pocket, and took out an envelope.
"Doctor Yu, please accept the agreed fee!"
Yu Zhiming didn't hesitate and took it.
The headache and panic attacks were a heavy price he paid for this diagnosis, and it was worth the generous reward...
Zhao Zhiwen, feeling much more relaxed, walked out of the bedroom and his eyes unconsciously moved to the dining table next to him.
There were about a dozen steaming buns there.
Yu Xiangwan smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, this is the most popular delicacy in my cafeteria."
“Big steamed buns!”
"Would you be honored to taste it and give me your opinion?"
Zhou Mo and Gu Qingning also chimed in, "Mr. Zhao, these buns are really delicious."
"You only have to eat one and you'll like it."
Zhao Zhiwen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his stomach growled twice.
He was worried about the examination tonight and was in a heavy mood, so he only ate a few bites of dinner.
Now that a big stone has been lifted from my head, I naturally have the appetite.
The feeling of hunger also came.
This bun smells delicious.
"Okay, I'll try your little canteen's cooking!"
Zhao Zhiwen changed his mind, responded with a smile, and grabbed a hot bun from the plate handed to him by Yu Xiangwan.
One bite!
Two bites!
Three or four people...
After Zhao Zhiwen finished eating a bun, he felt even hungrier.
“The buns are delicious.”
"This is the most delicious bun I have ever eaten, no doubt about it." Zhao Zhiwen gave the highest praise.
“Thank you for your high recognition!”
Yu Xiangwan suppressed her excitement and said, "Mr. Zhao, can I take a photo with you?"
She quickly explained, "I want to develop the photos and put them up in the store."
Yu Xiangwan added: "I just want to let the diners know that you are one of our customers too."
"I promise I will never use your fame for random publicity."
Zhao Zhiwen understood Yu Xiangwan's intention.
Photos of him and several of his friends are posted on the walls of several well-known restaurants in Beijing, Binhai and other places.
Zhao Zhiwen chuckled and said, "This can be considered a form of advertising endorsement. So, what's the endorsement fee?"
Yu Xiangwan said awkwardly, "We're just a newly established fast food restaurant, and we can't afford you to be our spokesperson."
Zhao Zhiwen laughed and pointed at the buns on the table.
"I don't have high requirements, just eight or ten buns will do."
Yu Xiangwan said with surprise, "Mr. Zhao, these buns are for you."
"From now on, you can eat in our canteen for free..."
Zhao Zhiwen ate three more buns in a friendly manner and drank a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup before saying goodbye and leaving.
As for the other buns, he took them all away.
He said that his assistant, driver and others were still waiting outside the community, so he let them taste the delicious food.
But Zhao Zhiwen ate and took away everything at the same time, leaving Yu Zhiming with nothing to eat.
He consumed a lot at night and is now very hungry.
Yu Xiangwan looked at the group photo on her phone and waved, "Let's go outside for a barbecue!"
"It's my treat..."
Please support me with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.!!!
