Chapter 394: Successor of the Imperial Chef
"Since I have given you this prescription, I have no intention of hiding it. You can use it without worry. However, I still say that the dosage should be increased or decreased appropriately for different people."
"Okay, when the patient sees good results after taking the medicine, our hospital will give you a reward of 1,000 yuan. In addition, the hospital can let you directly become the chief physician. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Dean. I'd rather not be a doctor. I'm too young and no one believes me. I can't always need you to help me out, haha..."
"Okay, then when you grow up, you can come to work anytime and the pay will be the same. When the patient's results are good, I will ask for the credit."
"Yes, you are right. People nowadays only believe in Western medicine and have forgotten the wisdom of their ancestors." Yi Ke agreed to report this to his superiors. Only by actually curing this incurable disease with Chinese medicine can people believe that Chinese medicine is not useless.
"Traditional Chinese medicine has its advantages, and Western medicine has its advantages. We should treat both medicine rationally. If people knew this truth, no one would call traditional Chinese medicine a liar. Traditional Chinese medicine is just slow to take effect, unlike Western medicine which works quickly. Anyway, if this succeeds, I must take credit for it with great fanfare, so that everyone can see that traditional Chinese medicine is not just a herb."
"Thank you, Dean. When the time comes, please ask for great merit for me. I will set the conditions for the reward, hehe." Yi Ke joked.
The dean's heavy mood was indeed diverted by Yi Ke's joke. He said seriously: "I will definitely explain this to the Health Bureau when I ask for credit."
Seeing the two of them talking endlessly in the office, Ziyi came in and said, "Yike, can we go now? The dean is very busy."
"Oh, okay. Goodbye, Dean." Yike handed his hand to Ziyi, and Ziyi held Yike's hand and walked out.
"Yike, if you need my help with anything, just call me." The dean shouted to Yike.
"Okay, thank you, Dean." Yike waved and followed Yike out.
Ziyi has fully recovered and the two are preparing to go back.
So they bought some food and asked Wang Hongjun to cook, and invited the director of the Public Security Bureau, Chen Jiangong, Wu Anquan and Fan Jian to dinner, under the pretext of celebrating Ziyi's recovery, but in fact they just wanted to use this opportunity to get together.
It also allows Wang Hongjun to show his face in front of these three leaders. After all, Wang Hongjun is a well-known figure in the provincial capital, and there are only benefits and no harm in making himself familiar in front of these leaders.
The next day, I got up early for the first time and went to queue up at the market. In this era, queuing is a major feature of the market.
When people go out on the street, they will line up as soon as they see a queue, without asking what is being sold. They will only ask after they have lined up. The most frustrating thing is that when you are almost at your end of the queue, the item is suddenly sold out, and you have waited in line for nothing. You have to wait for the next chance to queue. The main fear is that you will not be able to buy it and have wasted your ticket, which is time-limited.
Everyone lined up to buy pork, but Wang Hongjun had no pork left, so he had to go to the meat processing factory to get meat.
Yi Ke also thought that since he had the meat ticket, he might as well go and queue up and try. It would be best if he could buy meat, but if not, he could just get some pork offal.
She thought she had arrived early enough, but there were already more than twenty people queuing in front of her.
She was about to back out, but then she thought that this was the provincial capital and there couldn't be just a little meat, so she continued to queue patiently.
"Have you heard? Pigs in many places are sick this year, and the price of pork is going to go up again." The two ladies in front were talking to each other in a low voice.
"Who says it's not true? We're not afraid of price increases, the important thing is that there's nothing to buy." Another lady continued.
Yike's ears are now very sensitive. Even if the two ladies are talking in a low voice, she can still hear it clearly.
"Pigs are sick in many places, which means they have a contagious disease." Yi Ke guessed secretly, "Logically speaking, in such cold weather, as long as the pigs are not frozen, they generally won't get sick."
But I just couldn’t figure out why the pigs got sick? Moreover, pigs in many places have become sick. If it is not controlled well, it is hard to predict to what extent the disease will spread. If pigs across the country become sick, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Big cities are indeed incomparable to small cities. Although there were more than twenty people in front of her, there was still a lot of meat when it was her turn. She wanted to use all the meat tickets in her hand to buy meat, but the butcher said there was a regulation that no more than five kilograms could be purchased every day. Yi Ke had no choice but to buy five pounds of top pork and all the offal. Finally, he left looking back every few steps. He wanted to buy spare ribs, but the store refused to sell them.
When I returned to the small building, Ziyi had not come back yet. He had gone to invite Chen Jiangong and the other two. Wang Hongjun brought a few brothers to help. He was the chef today and he brought a lot of ingredients.
Yi Ke gave him the pork and offal, and his brothers started washing vegetables and cutting meat. The kitchen was filled to the brim with food filled by several big men.
Yi Ke decided not to go and went back to her study, where she wrote down several prescriptions for treating swine fever. She planned to wait for Chen Jiangong and others to come and ask about the situation, then give him the prescriptions and ask him to take them to the doctor at the Animal and Animal Health Inspection Station for reference, so that they could prescribe the right medicine and try to cure the swine fever before it spread.
In the evening, Chen Jiangong and Wu Anquan came together. They brought two bottles of Moutai liquor, some Shandong beef as a side dish, and two boxes of peach cakes for Yike.
When they sat down at the table, they saw a table full of dishes, including meat, fish, and several kinds of vegetables.
The dishes on the table were delicious and tasty. Chen Jiangong smiled and said, "Brother Ziyi, if I had known that your dishes were so delicious, I would have come earlier to eat. After eating this meal, I will be too full to leave if I eat in the cafeteria in the future."
Ziyi laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Chen, I can't cook. Let me introduce you to this. This is Wang Hongjun, the successor of the imperial chef. He's the chef for tonight and he's also my brother. From now on, when you want to eat or want to invite friends for dinner, just ask him to cook. I guarantee that your guests will want a second meal after having one." Ziyi pointed at Wang Hongjun and introduced him.
Wang Hongjun immediately stood up, filled Chen Jiangong's glass and then filled his own.
He picked up the wine glass and said to Chen Jiangong respectfully: "Director Chen, it is an honor to have the opportunity to dine with you. I have heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you in person is believing. I'll toast you a glass, I'll drink, please feel free to do as you please." Wang Hongjun picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp, and then turned the glass upside down to indicate that there was not a drop left.
Chen Jiangong praised: "You have a good alcohol tolerance, you are a good guy." He also drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp.
Ziyi solemnly introduced Wu Anquan to Wang Hongjun, and Wang Hongjun continued to drink a glass of wine to express his sincere respect.
Wang Hongjun continued to work hard. He filled Chen Jiangong and Wu Anquan's glasses with wine again and also filled his own glass.
He said, "Two leaders, I am very happy to drink with you today. I am not very good at other things, but I think I am a pretty good cook. If you want to have a meal or something, just come to me and I will prepare it for you. Even if you want to host a banquet, I can cook for a hundred or eighty people. I will drink first to show my respect, and then I will toast to you two leaders."
"Why call me leader? Here, there is no leader, only brothers. Just call me like Ziyi did." Chen Jiangong said after drinking the wine in his glass.
"Yes, you are Ziyi's brother, which means you are my brother. It's too strange for the leader to say that. I will protect you from now on. Just don't hide your cooking skills." Wu Anquan also happily drank the wine in the glass.
