Chapter 360 Drugging
On March 27th, it is advisable to clean, offer sacrifices, train cattle and horses, and perform acupuncture, but avoid traveling.
At the back window of Xu's Restaurant, Song Ying lowered his voice, "The second table on the right, are they them?"
Luo Yanxing stood on tiptoe, poked his head out stealthily, looked inside the tavern, retracted his head, and said in an equally low voice, gritting his teeth: "Those three people who were unlucky enough to have their heads chopped off!"
Song Ying nodded and said, "You go back first."
She walked around to the front door of the restaurant and walked in confidently, "Aunt Xu, what dishes do you have today?"
Madam Xu was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she poked her head out of the small window and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Doctor Song. Are you not cooking in the clinic today?"
Song Ying nodded with a smile and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "No matter how my senior brother and I make mapo tofu, it doesn't taste as good as yours."
This was a disguised way of praising her cooking skills. Madam Xu smiled until her eyes were only slits. "Cooking skills also require talent. The same method and steps can be made differently by different people. I think your talents are in medical skills."
Song Ying smiled and looked at the prepared food by the stove, "What other dishes are there today?"
"Stir-fried pork, you can have any dish you want, and there are also braised pork, smooth pork, boiled pork slices, etc., but you have to wait a little longer for these. If you are busy, go back first, and I will send them to you when they are ready."
"That's great! Hey, is this sauerkraut soup? Which table ordered it? My grandma also likes sauerkraut soup very much." When she came in, she glanced at them casually. There were already four dishes on the table of the three gangsters, which was more than enough for them. The remaining dish that had not been served was most likely soup.
"The three guests at that table asked for it." Madam Xu pointed at the three hooligans and chatted casually, "I don't think they like it. The soups we usually eat in Qingshui County are clear soup and pickled cabbage soup. During banquets, after eating a lot of fish and meat, clear soup is a good way to get rid of the greasiness. But usually, everyone prefers this pickled cabbage soup and even saves on the salt."
"It seems to be true." Song Ying took a few more steps and turned sideways to face her, leaning his elbows on the long table with the chopping board. He looked tired of standing, and his tilted upper body just happened to cover the dishes placed behind him.
With her other hand, she quickly pulled out a small paper bag and shook the asarum powder inside into the soup, continuing to chat with Madam Xu in this posture.
There was a customer outside asking for food, "Madam boss, are our dishes ready?"
"Alright, alright!" Madam Xu stretched her neck and replied, quickly throwing the cut meat into the pot and stir-frying it. Soon a portion of stir-fried meat was ready. She quickly scooped it into a plate, took a tray, put the several dishes on the table and the sauerkraut soup into the tray, and took it out.
Song Ying followed her out and saw that she first delivered the dishes to different guests' tables. The bowl of sauerkraut soup arrived at the table of the three gangsters without any accident.
She smiled slightly, waited for Madam Xu to serve the dishes, and collected the meal money from the guests who had finished their meals, then said: "Aunt, you have to work in the kitchen, wait on the table, and collect money. You are too busy. Why don't you hire another person?"
"I'm only busy now. There won't be many customers later. It's not cost-effective to hire people. I'll be busy now. It's the same if I take a break later."
Song Ying stopped trying to persuade her. "Aunt, I'd like one serving of Mapo Tofu, one serving of Ants Climbing a Tree, and two servings of stir-fried pork. You can add any of the side dishes you like, and a bowl of pickled cabbage soup."
Madam Xu responded repeatedly, "Auntie will give you more meat."
This saved her a lot of time, as she could stir-fry the food while cooking other dishes for the customers.
Song Ying thanked her with a smile, then leaned against the kitchen door frame and chatted with Madam Xu for a while. When the dishes were ready, he took the food and left.
From beginning to end, she didn't pay much attention to the three thugs, treating them no differently than any other strangers.
When she returned to the clinic, she found two familiar people there. She was a little surprised, "Why are you two here? Are you sick?"
Shen Jing waved his hand and looked at Luo Yanxing beside him, a little embarrassed: "When I went back yesterday, I heard that a young girl selling pancreas was beaten by three thugs. I also heard that the girl was from Huichuntang and had almost had a fight with Qi, the shopkeeper of Yanhongtang. I thought it was you, so I quickly asked Brother Yuan to come over to take a look, but I didn't expect to be wrong."
Yuan Qing also glanced at Luo Yanxing and asked, "Is Yanxing's injury serious? If you need our help, just tell me."
"It's not a mistake. She is my best friend. The pancreas is a business between the three of us. There is no difference between her being beaten and me being beaten." Song Ying was a little touched. Shen Jing and Yuan Qing both had to take part in the college entrance examination two years later, and time was very tight, but they were still willing to come and visit her.
She answered Shen Jing's question first, and then answered Yuan Qing's, "Fortunately, Yan Xing is experienced in this area and didn't hurt their vital parts. They were just superficial injuries."
"You have a lot of experience in this area?" Shen Jing looked at Luo Yanxing again in surprise, "Is she often beaten? By her parents? Or is she an orphan?"
While asking, the look he gave Luo Yanxing became full of pity, and it was obvious that he had imagined in his mind the image of a poor little guy being bullied by everyone.
Luo Yanxing looked away guiltily, not daring to meet his eyes.
This made Shen Jing more certain of his judgment, and he looked at her with more pity, and said to Song Ying: "I know that you are kind-hearted, but the most important thing for you now is to study medicine. My family also has some shops in the city, so why don't I arrange a job for her."
Song Ying blinked his eyes. Where was this going?
"No need, we are good enough selling pancreas!" Luo Yanxing refused without caring about his guilty conscience.
In the past, she would be happy to have a job in the city, but now she is not willing to work for others. Pancreas is cheap and the production process is easy except for the hard work of pounding the pig pancreas.
Selling pancreas is easy, and she doesn't have to worry about other people's faces. She can get 5% of the daily income. No shop can pay her more than coins a day, and this is the lowest salary, sometimes it can be doubled.
Shen Jing and Luo Yanxing had just met, and he only proposed this out of pity for her "background". Since she refused, he did not insist, and turned to Song Ying with a frown and said, "I haven't talked about you yet, why are you selling pancreas out of the blue?"
He looked very worried. Without waiting for Song Ying to answer, he continued, "Selling pancreas does make a lot of money in a short period of time, but you should study medicine well. There will be plenty of money to be made in the future."
Song Ying was a little puzzled. "I sell pancreas, but I didn't say I won't study medicine."
Yuan Qing also looked at Shen Jing with some confusion. Shen Jing had wanted to cover Song Ying's medical school expenses before. At that time, he just thought that he was optimistic about the woman's medical study and Song Ying, and planned to establish a good relationship with them in advance.
But now it seems that Shen Jing's attention is too heavy.
