Chapter 55 My Fair Lady
The young waiter was a little confused.
He bowed slightly and replied cautiously and politely, "Doctor Qi, dishes like steamed grouper are usually prepared by the chef himself."
"Doctor Qi, is there any problem?"
The waiter quickly added, "This grouper was definitely slaughtered on site. We at Baixian Pavilion would never use stale seafood to pass it off as fresh."
Qi Yue said impatiently: "I didn't say there was a problem with the ingredients, I just asked if your chef made it himself?"
He added coldly, "I've eaten more than one piece of fish cooked by your chef."
Qi Yue pointed at the steamed sea bass and said, "This sea bass tastes pretty good."
"But the taste of this grouper is much worse. It's not up to the standard that your chef should have."
this……
Qi Yue's words made the waiter a little unsure, and he said unsurely, "Doctor Qi, please wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen and ask."
After receiving Qi Yue's nod of permission, the waiter quickly left the private room.
The atmosphere in the private room was a bit solemn.
Han Shuo and others couldn't grasp it. Qi Yue was taking advantage of the situation to make a fuss. Did he have other intentions?
Or are you really not satisfied with the taste of this grouper?
Yu Zhiming was also a little confused.
Just now, he also tasted a piece of grouper meat and found it delicious.
At least, the taste of the fish is more delicate, tender and sweeter than that of the sea bass.
Fortunately, the hotel didn't keep them waiting for long.
Two or three minutes later, the waiter came back.
Following him came a middle-aged male chef wearing a chef's uniform, a chef's hat, and with a big head and thick neck.
The middle-aged chef spoke first, very politely.
"Hello, Doctor Qi!"
"I'm Yin Ling, the chef at Baixian Pavilion."
"The steamed sea bass, steamed grouper, braised crocodile, and crab roe lion's head dishes on your table were all prepared by me personally on the stove."
"Does Doctor Qi have any advice or suggestions?"
Qi Yue pointed at the steamed grouper and said slowly, "Since you insisted on cooking it, let me ask you, did you put too much fish sauce in this dish?"
"When I tasted it, the taste of the fish sauce almost overwhelmed the original flavor of the grouper."
These words really surprised Yu Zhiming.
Can you taste this?
Teacher Qi’s skills make him a gourmet among gourmets.
Even some professional food critics probably can't compare to his tongue's sensitivity, right?
Qi Yue continued to criticize with dissatisfaction: "Such a mistake is not something that an experienced chef like you would make."
Yin Ling's face flushed with shame.
"Doctor Qi, it was indeed a mistake on my part. I accidentally put too much rain and dew in."
"I thought..."
Yin Ling suddenly raised his hand and slapped his right cheek, then apologized sincerely, "Doctor Qi, it's my fault. I was perfunctory and trying to fool you."
"By doing this, I am truly unworthy of the title of chef, and I have betrayed your trust."
"Doctor Qi, I'll go back and make you a new one as an apology..."
"Wait a moment!"
Qi Yue stopped Yin Ling as he was about to leave and said, "Chef Yin, for a chef like you who is so accustomed to controlling the seasoning, it's hard to explain this kind of mistake as a mistake."
He turned to look at Yu Zhiming and ordered, "Zhiming, go check Chef Yin's body."
Yu Zhiming naturally did not dare to neglect the teacher's instructions.
He stood up and walked over to the somewhat confused Chef Yin, and explained softly, "Chef Yin, my teacher suspects that you made the mistake due to some kind of physical discomfort."
"I'm going to give you a simple physical examination now. You don't have to do anything. Just stand there quietly."
As he spoke, Yu Zhiming stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Chef Yin's rather thick left chest.
When doing a physical examination on a middle-aged man, the first and necessary thing to do is a heart examination.
Yu Zhiming actually found a problem during this inspection.
"Chef Yin, have you had any pain below your chin or above your thighs these past few days?"
"Or some other obvious discomfort?"
If a middle-aged person experiences pain or discomfort in this area, the doctor's first consideration is...
Is there something wrong with this person's heart?
Only after ruling out heart health problems will the doctor consider other second-order possibilities.
So when a middle-aged man goes to the hospital with abdominal pain and the doctor checks his heart first, don't question it.
This is procedural convention!
Chef Yin shook his head and replied, "Doctor, I have an old problem of frozen shoulder. My shoulder has been more painful in the past two days."
“But it’s still within the tolerable range.”
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and spoke frankly, "Chef Yin, I've noticed a significant obstruction in blood flow at the distal end of your right circumflex coronary artery."
"I seriously suspect that you have symptoms of myocardial ischemia. I strongly recommend that you go to the hospital for further examination."
Chef Yin was slightly startled and raised his voice to question, "Do I have myocardial ischemia?"
"But doctor, I don't feel any heart pain, chest tightness or other symptoms."
"And, and..."
Chef Yin tugged at his two thick earlobes and said, "Look at my two earlobes..."
“Not a single crease!”
"I read a medical article online that said people with creases in their earlobes are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease."
"Look, there's not even a crease on my earlobe. It's impossible for me to have a heart attack."
Yu Zhiming was really speechless after being questioned by this guy with good reason and evidence.
Damn it, another self-righteous guy who was harmed by half-baked popular science articles.
The person in front of you is a doctor from Huashan Hospital who enjoys the treatment of talent introduction!
Just when Yu Zhiming was about to speak to persuade him, Qi Yue spoke again.
He said in a clear and indifferent voice, "Chef Yin, let me tell you three things."
"First, the person who examined you was my student Yu Zhiming. He said there's something wrong with your heart, so there must be something wrong. You'd better listen to him and go to the hospital for a checkup."
"Second, myocardial ischemia sometimes has no obvious symptoms. But if there are obvious symptoms, it means there is a serious problem."
"Third, there are studies showing a high positive correlation between cardiovascular disease and earlobe creases."
"For example, 90% of patients with cardiovascular disease have earlobe creases. However, you have to know that not all patients with cardiovascular disease have earlobe creases."
"Similarly, having an earlobe crease does not necessarily mean you will suffer from cardiovascular disease."
After a pause, Qi Yue said in a distant tone: "Chef Yin, whether to go to the hospital for a check-up is up to you!"
"You don't need to make another serving of this steamed grouper."
"Now, you can go out."
Chef Yin silently bowed to Qi Yue and Yu Zhiming, then left the private room.
Ten minutes later, in addition to a plate of steamed grouper, a plate of steamed swimming crab was delivered to the private room...
At the end of the dinner, Yu Zhiming left the private room alone and went to the bathroom.
After freeing up the memory, Yu Zhiming walked out of the bathroom and came to the sink, just in time to meet the head nurse coming out of the women's bathroom.
They both washed their hands together.
Yan Wenjing smiled and said, "Doctor Yu, I saw you stealing glances at Zhou Mo several times."
"Interested in her?"
Yu Zhiming was so embarrassed that his cheeks turned red.
He hurriedly explained: "Sister Yan, it's not what you think. I just looked at her a few more times because I love her beauty."
What Yu Zhiming said is also correct.
He just met Zhou Mo today and they didn't have much contact or understanding. What could be his intention?
It's nothing more than a man's nature coming out, he's tempted by beauty and becomes lustful.
Yan Wenjing smiled softly and said, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. I understand."
"only……"
Yan Wenjing lowered her voice and said, "This Zhou Mo was recruited by the director himself two years ago."
"There are many talented and handsome young men from well-off families pursuing her in the hospital."
"But she didn't like any of them."
"For more than a year now, no one in the hospital has pursued her."
Yan Wenjing added meaningfully, "Zhou Mo's job is more like the director's personal secretary or assistant."
"She often accompanies the director to meetings, medical consultations, or activities..."
Hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning exploding in Yu Zhiming's mind.
He suddenly realized something...
