I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 408 Why was ice cream suddenly distributed on the cruise ship?

The snake-shaped minimally invasive surgical robot brought home by Zhou Qiao was awarded to Guli Reba as the competition champion's prize.

Guli Reba is deeply honored and particularly likes this robot.

Then, this robot became popular in China, taking advantage of this wave of traffic.

Zhou Qiao was reluctant to receive the order. He specifically called Jess Sheppard, CEO of Future Medical Devices, and asked him to bring his team to China to handle the purchase order issues with major hospitals.

Jess Sheppard was excited and thought that it was Boss Zhou who had to take action, so he immediately convened an elite team and rushed to China to negotiate business here.

This kind of surgical robot is extremely advanced, and entering the Chinese market has been a lot of troubles. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao has a wide network of contacts, and he has been able to solve a series of troubles.

Among them, Governor Hulk, the boss of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others all helped a lot. Otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth.

After finishing his domestic affairs, Zhou Qiao returned to Zhejiang Province to visit his parents again. After a fierce battle with Yang Xuejun for seven to eight hundred rounds, he accompanied his sister-in-law on the flight to France.

My younger cousin Zhou Shen now works at a nuclear power plant and is much more sensible than before. He no longer dyes his hair or grows his hair long, but has returned to a clean, natural black short hair.

If not for Zhou Qiao's introduction, where would he have found such a high-paying job?

Zhou Shen smiled and said, "Thanks to my cousin for taking care of me."

While other breads are soft, the baguette is chewy. Of course, eating too much baguette is not good for your teeth and jaw joints. You can’t eat it every day either.

Cheese fondue was previously considered a peasant's food before it became popular throughout France and around the world.

My sister-in-law glanced at Zhou Qiao and was extremely grateful.

When Zhou Shen came to pick up the plane, he was very happy to see his mother and cousin Zhou Qiao.

The origins of cheese fondue are controversial.

Drinking water and thinking about the source, Zhou Qiao couldn't help but look sad when he thought of his aunt.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "It looks mature and stable."

Zhou Qiao patted her sister-in-law on the shoulder to comfort her.

Of course, this is all due to my nephew Zhou Qiao.

Not only did he work hard here, he also learned French and was basically able to communicate with the locals on a daily basis.

My sister-in-law can be considered happy after all her hardships. I had never thought before that I would have the opportunity to travel to France. With my son so promising, it made me worry-free.

One theory is that it was invented by Swiss dairy farmers in the 17th century, who melted excess cheese and ate it with bread crusts. Later, cheese fondue became the national dish of Switzerland.

In fact, he didn't grow much taller, but he became stronger and looked bigger.

Zhou Qiaoxin said that this was all due to his aunt. Without her, he would not be where he is today.

Lunch was a treat for his little cousin. It was in a very unique restaurant, and Zhou Qiao treated him to a meal.

Along the way, my cousin Zhou Shen told his mother about some recent events and the living conditions here.

What I had was the very popular local cheese fondue, paired with a hard baguette and apple cider, it was a must-have.

When my sister-in-law saw him talking fluently and confidently with the locals while shopping in the store, she couldn't help crying with joy and wiped away her tears.

"Son, you have grown taller and taller!" My sister-in-law stood on tiptoe and touched her son's head, feeling very distressed.

However, there is also a theory that this fondue was invented in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region adjacent to Geneva.

In addition to cheese fondue, another one worth mentioning is cheese board. Melt the cheese and scrape it onto a plate, then serve with potatoes and cucumbers.

Especially now that it’s winter, eating this kind of hot food is very warm.

However, for Chinese people, eating it occasionally is okay, but eating it every day is quite unbearable.

After dinner, Zhou Qiao said goodbye to her sister-in-law and cousin. He is going to Sicily, Italy, to join Loya.

As for my sister-in-law's return trip in the future, her cousin will take her to the airport, so Zhou Qiao doesn't have to worry about it.

My sister-in-law will stay here for a while to experience the original European Christmas.

When the French celebrate Christmas, chestnut turkey (dinde aux marrons) ranks first on the table. Usually, diced ham, foie gras, chopped onions, porcini mushrooms and spice soup (parsley, tarragon) are also added. , chives).

In addition, traditional French delicacies such as oysters, smoked salmon, foie gras, snails, etc. must be on the table.

For those who cannot eat foie gras, they can choose vegetarian foie gras, which is an appetizer made from nuts and coconut oil. It's similar to domestic vegetarian chicken. It's not meaty, but it has the texture of meat dishes.

……

Zhou Qiao came to Sicily and embraced Loya after a long absence.

Even after giving birth to four children, Luo Ya's figure has already returned to her pre-pregnancy figure. Compared with several other girls, her wheat-colored skin is delicate and smooth, her figure is strong yet curvy, and she has a unique charm.

The taste is different, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, and the gunfire is fierce.

Hugging each other in bed, Luo Ya told Zhou Qiao that three other hospitals in Texas had started operations at the same time.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"Because the election is about to begin." Loya said with a smile. He put his arms around Zhou Qiao's neck, rubbing his ears and temples together. It had been so long since he'd seen him, and he really missed this man. Loya is preparing to run for governor of Texas.

Although the planned ten hospitals have not yet been completed, two are already in normal operation, three have broken ground, and five more are being designed and sited. If we have the confidence, we can explain it to the people.

This is a good deck of cards that can attract many votes. After all, it brings real benefits to the residents of Texas.

Medical issues, no matter where they are, are a great way to win over people.

Especially in the United States, it is really difficult to get decent medical treatment.

Luo Ya's hospital has a welfare nature and is supported by Zhou Qiao and Iris Clinic. It is of first-class quality and has always had a good reputation.

Like other politicians, many of them are just trying to make cakes. Luo Ya is already making cakes and drawing cakes at the same time, which is quite remarkable.

Of course, Loya also has some other plans and competitiveness, such as the support of many powerful people in Texas, the support of the military, investment plans in education, outstanding contributions to aerospace, concern about immigration issues, and the courage to negotiate with the federal government. The government is challenging, has a tough style, is full of military ethics, etc.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "Then I will go and help you get votes."

Luo Ya smiled sweetly: "Looking forward to Dr. Zhou's performance."

Zhou Qiao is a well-known Internet doctor. He has many fans whether in the United States or China. He should be able to help Luo Ya in canvassing votes.

Moreover, Zhou Qiao did not just shout slogans. He thought about it and decided to select some medical staff from Sequoia Hospital and Baiyan Hospital to form a medical team to provide free medical services to the people.

Wherever Luo Ya goes to give lectures, he goes to free clinics.

Husband and wife are of the same mind, which is as powerful as gold. Although they are not officially married, they have four children. What else is there to say?

……

Academician Domitri and Academician Xu, two lovers in the evening, had a great time traveling around the mountains and rivers. They also paid attention to the two surgical competitions in the United States and China, and highly praised Zhou Qiao's performance as a judge.

As for Xiao Sun from Xiehe University not winning the award, Academician Xu didn't care. He looked at it very indifferently and even felt a little happy.

It's not that she has any objections to Xiao Sun, but she feels that Xiao Sun has had a smooth journey and lacks training. Now that he has taken second place, it is good. It prevents him from being complacent. Maybe after this incident, Dr. Xiao Sun will achieve greater achievements in the future.

In fact, this is also the case. Originally, Xiao Sun felt that he was "invincible" and "lonely as snow", so he was a little slack in his profession. Who would have thought that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world.

Not to mention the young judge Zhou Qiao, even Guli Reba came out of nowhere and suppressed his limelight.

After Xiao Sun returned home, he changed his ways, put aside all his glitz, began to calm down, and concentrated on studying medicine. In a short period of time, a new surgical technique has been created and achieved very good surgical results.

Academician Domitri and Academician Xu later traveled to Antarctica, where they had close contact with wild penguins living in the Antarctic Circle that were not kept in zoos, and saw the Antarctic ice wall.

Of course, there are many other beautiful scenery along the way.

For example, there are huge elephant seals, albatrosses with wingspans of 2-3 meters, British-style Antarctic towns, visits to Antarctic scientific research stations, and cruising among icebergs at sea.

There are as many as six species of wild penguins in Antarctica, with various shapes and forms. The diversity of numbers and species is far beyond what zoos can match.

Humpback whales cruise to the Antarctic to hunt for food, watch whales jumping out of the sea up close, and rare polar seabirds circling and flying. It is so beautiful and far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It can be said to be a spiritual cleansing.

However, when returning from Antarctica, a "little" incident occurred on the luxury cruise ship. The cruise staff suddenly distributed free ice cream to everyone. Academician Xu wanted to eat it, but Academician Domitri stopped him and shook his head slightly. .

They declined the staff's offer.

After the staff left, Academician Xu asked why. After all, the heating in the room was very strong and it was still very hot. The staff was so polite and took the initiative to deliver it to your door.

Her stomach has always been very good, so eating some ice cream is not a big problem.

"It's not that I'm worried about gastrointestinal problems...it's okay not to eat this kind of ice cream." Academician Domitri hesitated slightly, but still told Academician Xu the truth.

Originally, Academician Domitri often took cruises. He had encountered this kind of thing several times before and knew what was going on.

The reason for the ice cream was that someone on the ship died suddenly and the cold storage needed to be freed up to store the body.

The main consumer groups of cruise ships around the world are almost all elderly people, except for some special ones, such as Disney Cruise Line.

Far above the vast sea, it is another journey to Antarctica. The climate is so cold that it is common for the elderly to be unable to support it.

Academician Xu fell silent immediately and took a breath: "..."

Forget it, it’s okay not to eat this kind of ice cream.

Firstly, I feel a bit disgusting, and secondly, I feel a bit sad. We were all elderly people, and we were in the same boat. When someone suddenly left, we were in a bad mood.

But that's how things are. There are not many elderly people who die of sudden illness or natural death on the cruise ship due to physical reasons or other reasons when they go to sea.

But if I can complete the Antarctic journey before leaving, I guess I will have no regrets in life.

After the two return from Antarctica, they plan to rest in the United States for a while, spend Christmas and New Year, and then travel to China to experience the traditional Chinese Spring Festival atmosphere.

Then there are many places to go, so enjoy it while your body is still strong.

They also asked about Zhou Qiao's baby's condition, and Zhou Qiao shared some information about prenatal check-ups with them. The two babies were doing well now, so they should not worry.

The two old people were looking forward to the birth of the baby.
