Man Bao also occupied the stove in Doctor Liu's office. Together with the two stoves, she lit the charcoal fire and carefully placed the steamed meat and meatballs on the shelf, closed the jar and waited.
She didn't eat lunch, and she was so hungry at the moment, she just squatted in front of the stove and watched, and she could still catch the heat.
When the water boils, you can hear the sound of gurgling water in the jar, and then slowly, a scent comes out of the jar slowly...
After steaming for a quarter of an hour, the aroma filled the whole room. The medical assistants had already sat aside and waited. Even Doctor Liu, who was drinking tea and waiting for food in his office room, couldn't help but walk out with his hands behind his back. After walking around the room twice, he simply pulled up a stool and sat beside Zhou Man.
He asked: "Is this made by your cook, using the recipe from your south?"
"This is made by my sister-in-law," Man Bao and he praised her sister-in-law, "The food made by my sister-in-law is the best. I grew up eating the food made by her, and I have never eaten better than my sister-in-law. Something to eat."
Imperial Physician Liu said: "I also think that the food made by my mother is the most delicious, but it's just my opinion."
Man Bao said: "This is not selfishness. I have five sister-in-laws, and none of their cooking is as good as my sister-in-law's, especially my second sister-in-law..."
Thinking of his second sister-in-law's cooking skills, Man Bao sighed, "My second sister-in-law is good at everything, but this cooking skill... oh."
Physician Liu became a little interested, mainly because the jar was bubbling now, and the aroma was constantly coming out of it, which really made people want to eat it.
Imperial Physician Liu swallowed unconsciously, and asked, "How long will it take to steam?"
Man Bao wanted to eat more than him, so she pulled the stool closer to the stove, and she said: "It will take a while, my sister-in-law said that it will be delicious when it is completely hot."
While talking, a servant brought them food from Tai Hospital.
Each person has a food box, with different grades and dishes.
Man Bao took the food box and immediately said: "It should be ready, open it quickly, open it quickly."
The three medical assistants on the side immediately stepped forward to help.
After a while, the two imperial physicians and three medical assistants sat down around the table. In front of everyone were their meals, with a bowl of steamed meat and a bowl of meatballs in the middle.
Man Bao first steamed meat with chopsticks for Imperial Physician Liu, and then said to the other three strong medical assistants: "Everyone, eat quickly."
Zhou Man's grade was higher than theirs, and the three medical assistants politely gave way to Man Bao to use his chopsticks first.
Man Bao was also polite, he picked up a large piece of steamed meat and put it on the rice, and the other three followed suit.
Imperial Physician Liu took a bite, and couldn't help squinting his eyes. The mouth was soft and rotten, glutinous and fragrant. After chewing, Imperial Physician Liu glanced at the bowl, and took the time to finish eating one piece and grab another piece...
After eating and drinking enough, Imperial Physician Liu sat beside Man Bao and drank tea, and politely invited her to drink the tea leaves from his collection, and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law's craftsmanship is very good."
It was only then that Man Bao remembered, yes, the elder sister-in-law is Li Zhong's mother, so she and Imperial Physician Liu are indeed in-laws.
So she said: "Waiting for Lizhong to pay you New Year's greetings, I will ask my sister-in-law to bring you two bowls."
Imperial Physician Liu hypocritically declined for a while, then responded, and then said to Man Bao: "Pork has the functions of tonifying deficiency and strengthening the body, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and plumping the skin. It is very suitable for those of us who are on night shift."
Man Bao glanced at Imperial Physician Liu, although he felt that what he said was wrong, after all, eating meat is really bad when you are old, but he would not be ignorant of this basic problem, so he nodded.
The two imperial physicians sat in the imperial hospital waiting for dark, and then continued chatting and dazed by the stove.
Man Bao fumbled in his sleeve and took out a purse, which was dried venison.
Physician Liu thought about it, and felt that this was already the case tonight, so he might as well eat more, so he reached out to Zhou Man.
Man Bao gave him a piece of meat, and after eating a piece, he asked, "Doctor Liu, don't you prepare some snacks on duty?"
Doctor Liu said: "I will only prepare some snacks and beans to satisfy my hunger. I am not a child, so there is no need to prepare too many snacks."
Man Bao looked at the jerky in his hand.
Imperial Physician Liu paused and said, "It's okay to eat once in a while."
But after eating so many good things from others, it was hard for him not to return the gift, so he said: "We will be on duty later, I will bring you delicious food."
Man Bao nodded again and again, "Then I'll wait."
Imperial Physician Liu said: "You can also bring some of these steamed meat and meatballs into the palace. You have to eat better on New Year's Eve, and there will be a palace banquet that night. We must be more vigilant, so that we can stay awake by eating."
Man Bao thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded in response.
The two of them kept watch in the middle of the night until the night became cold, and then they got up and went back to their hut to sleep. This time, Manbao was not woken up in the middle of the night, and slept until dawn.
Imperial Physician Liu was also very satisfied with this, and said to Imperial Physician Lu who came to take over: "There are no patients, you should rest earlier tonight."
Imperial Physician Lu said: "It's hard for Imperial Physician Liu... and Imperial Physician Zhou."
Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Liu returned a salute, politely replied that it was not hard work, and then left the palace with their respective things.
Physician Liu saw the carriage coming to pick up Zhou Man at the gate of the palace, waved to her and said with a smile: "I'll see you tomorrow."
Man Bao nodded, "See you tomorrow."
Man Bao walked towards his own carriage, and only after he lifted the curtain, two heads popped out of it quickly and yelled "Wow", Man Bao was so frightened that he almost fell on his back, and was helped by Daji who was standing beside him.
Seeing that she was frightened, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang immediately burst out laughing, and said cheerfully, "I knew you would be frightened if you didn't sleep well last night."
Man Bao: "... Keke, why didn't you tell me?"
Keke: "This will not pose a life-threatening threat to the host, and I have not detected any malice in them. If every behavior is predicted in advance, the host's life will lose a lot of fun."
Man Bao's heartbeat calmed down after touching it, An thought: This is not interesting at all.
Bai Shan smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "Come up quickly, I'll take you home to rest."
Man Bao rested on his hand, got on the car with his strength and asked, "Aren't you going to play?"
"You still don't want to go with the exhausted look on your face," Bai Shan said with a smile, "And now that all the shops, businesses and hotels are closed, where else can we go?"
Man Bao nodded and whispered to him, "I have a secret to tell you when I get home."
Bai Erlang on the side said: "I heard it."
Bai Shan glanced at him and ignored him, and said to Man Bao, "Let's go to the open pavilion in the garden and say that there is no one there."
Bai Erlang: "Do you want me to keep watch for you?"
Man Bao said: "No, it's fine if you don't come to eavesdrop."
Bai Erlang snorted and said, "I won't eavesdrop. What secrets can you tell? It's just a matter of the court or the palace. Anyway, it's something that takes a lot of effort to do. I don't know." Don't listen."
After hearing it, you have to work hard. Why did he come here
Man Bao thought for a while, and found that he had guessed everything correctly, so he gave him a thumbs up.
Bai Erlang raised his head proudly.
