Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 32 Life
Seeing the person coming, Luo Yang did not stand up from where he was sitting. Instead, he pointed to the sofa opposite and motioned the person to sit down.

"Xiaotong, you're here. Please take a seat. I just finished the meeting and asked Zhuang Dongwen to come over and ask him about Li Yancheng."

"Did you find out anything?"

"No." Luo Yang shook his head: "Zhuang Dongwen doesn't know Li Yancheng either."

“It’s normal that he doesn’t know. Zhuang Dongwen was the director of logistics at that time. How could he have the time to understand a junior doctor in a hospital?

I said, Luo Yang, why are you so worried? If you accept treatment, there is still a chance of cure. If you don't receive treatment, it will continue like this. Is it necessary to worry so much?
Didn't you ask Mr. Yang? The acupuncture therapy that Li Yancheng mentioned is true. As for the acupuncture techniques that Mr. Yang mentioned, they had been lost one or two thousand years ago. Our China is vast and rich in resources, and there are many schools of Chinese medicine. How could he know everything?

I think there is no need to think so much, just go all the way, get treatment, if it works, that's a surprise, if it doesn't, it won't kill you. "

Seeing his brother's constipated look, the man sat down and said with some regret.

It was easy for him to talk without any concern, but his words indirectly made Luo Yang make up his mind.

"Let's go home." Luo Yang stood up and turned to walk out of the reception room.

"Ah?" The young man called Xiaotong was still confused about the situation. He stood up with a dazed look on his face and followed him out.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"I went to the hospital to see Li Yancheng early on Monday morning."

"Have you decided?"

"I've decided. I don't want to think about anything else. Remember to keep it a secret for me. If my parents knew about it, they would definitely not agree."

"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this. By the way, have you told Sun Yiqing?"

Sun Yiqing, Luo Yang's wife, is still a wife in name only for the time being.

"Why am I telling her this?"

"Haha, are you planning to give her a surprise?"

"Go away, I didn't even think about her."

"cut……"

……

The weather forecast was quite accurate. It said it would snow at night, and it really did snow.

The next morning, it was less than six o'clock and it was still dark. Li Yancheng, who went to bed early and got up early, opened the door and saw that the yard was already white with the help of the light in the house.

Tightening his cotton coat, he strolled out to take care of his personal hygiene.

It's still early and not many people are going to the toilet. There's a toilet stall right there and I can chat with neighbors who also got up early. If I wait a little longer, there will be more people and they'll have to queue up. Not to mention chatting, just being stared at will make me constipated.

After washing up, he came to the vegetable market on the East Street of Dafo Temple. Now that he was back, he still had to cook at home. He couldn't eat out every day.

Even though it was snowing, the vegetable market was still very busy. The vegetable market at that time was different from later times. The vegetable salesmen here were all regular employees, not small vendors.

After Li Yancheng came over, he went straight to the small kitchen in the vegetable market.

Nowadays, except for professional chefs, ordinary people don’t really know how to cook because there are no recipes. Even if there are many kinds of vegetables, they don’t know how to cook them after buying them, especially fish, shrimps, crabs and the like.

You know, before liberation, ordinary people often ate some old pickled vegetables. As for fresh vegetables, haha, there was nowhere to buy them, let alone buy them and cook them.

After liberation, with land reform and the establishment of agricultural cooperatives, urban and rural conditions improved, the variety of vegetables gradually increased, and ordinary people were able to eat fresh vegetables.

But what to do with the fresh vegetables becomes a big problem.

The staff of the grocery company and the vegetable market started thinking and came up with a good idea.

Their staff prepares the dishes in advance. For example, they put vegetables, meat, onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings in a basin on behalf of customers. After people buy them back, they wash and cut them, and then just add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and put them in the pot to cook.

There are quite a few kinds of prepared hot pot dishes, basically all of them are meat and seafood, such as lamb meatballs, braised pork, stir-fried beef and mutton with green onions, sweet and sour spare ribs, shredded eel, braised carp, fried whole crab, etc. The price is not expensive, the cheapest one is just over ten cents, and the most expensive one is only one yuan.

At present, the vegetable market has introduced a simpler style of side dish, plate dish.

This means that even the vegetables are washed and cut, and the seasonings are prepared for you. You can put them into the pot directly after you bring them home, saving you a lot of effort.

This type of dish also includes vegetarian dishes. Most of the dishes are popular dishes that people love to eat, such as three slices of vegetarian food, Mu Shu pork, spicy chicken, etc. The price is also very affordable, with each plate of vegetarian dishes costing a little over ten cents, and each plate with shredded pork costing thirty cents.

To wash and cut vegetables, a small kitchen is specially built in the vegetable market for preparing side dishes. A side dish list with more than a hundred items is posted on the wall of the kitchen. People who go to buy vegetables can order according to the list and the staff will prepare it for you. It is very convenient.

The situation in recent years is much better than in the past. The country has specially published a book called Popular Recipes, which teaches how to cook.

With the publication of this book, people learned step by step according to what was taught in the book. They no longer faced the dilemma of not knowing how to cook even if there were fresh dishes as in the early days of liberation.

Li Yancheng stood in line outside the small kitchen and watched for a while. When it was his turn, he ordered more than 20 dishes in one go, which shocked the staff. After he explained that he was entertaining guests today, they prepared dishes for him.

He is too lazy to go to the vegetable market every day, but now he has a warehouse and doesn't have to worry about the vegetables going bad. He can buy more at a time and doesn't have to go to the market for several days. How great is that.

After buying the prepared dishes, he walked around the market again, used all the remaining three pounds of tofu coupons in his hand to buy tofu and a few eggs, then walked back.

I took a detour on the way and deliberately passed by three breakfast restaurants, and bought more than 30 meat buns in total.

When he returned home, he had five buns and three dishes in his hands.

He couldn't figure out why the original owner hadn't bought a bicycle yet. There was still a bicycle ticket at home. Anyway, he planned to buy a bicycle in the next two days.

This way he can run farther away. Otherwise, he always goes to the vegetable market closest to his home and dares not buy too much at once for fear of arousing suspicion.

When he came back from his stroll, everyone who was supposed to go to work in the yard had already left. The only ones left in the front yard were the second and third sons of the Zhao family, who were at home due to suspension of classes. In the backyard, only little Ningning was squatting in the yard playing with the cat.

When the cat saw Li Yancheng coming back, it meowed at him several times and then ran away. It probably still hated him for calling it a stupid cat yesterday.
