Chapter 17
Originally, Xiao Ying didn't like to read this kind of tear-jerking romantic tragedy, but liked to read light-hearted martial arts novels, but after hearing what Zhuo Ran said so well, he felt itchy and wanted to continue reading.

But when the food and wine were served, he was afraid that he would spill oil on other people's books during the meal. That would not be very good, so he would borrow them and read them slowly in the dormitory later.Anyway, this book is not thick, and I probably finished it in one night.

So, he put the book aside, picked up a pinch of hot pepper beef with his chopsticks, and chewed it in his mouth. It tasted really good.It seems that the chef's skills are quite good, no wonder the business is booming.

Zhuo Ran came in again, carrying a bottle of Erguotou and a small wine glass in his hand.Seeing that he had already started to eat, he smiled and said, "Brother Greedy Cat, I'll start eating before the wine comes. I'll give you the wine."

She put the wine glass in front of Xiao Ying, unscrewed the lid of the wine bottle, and poured him a glass.Put the wine bottle on the table, and said: "The food and wine you ordered has been served, but grandma said that she would fry a dish of snails for you personally to express her gratitude. This is our specialty dish. I will give it to you in a while." sent."

"Thank you so much."

"You saved my dad, that's nothing. If you want to say thank you, we have to thank you! —By the way, why don't you read the book, isn't it good?"

"No, I'm afraid it will get dirty, so I can take it back to the dormitory and take a look at it later, is that okay?"

"Okay, no problem, you can borrow any book you like from the bookshelf. ——Since you don't read books, why don't I play some music for you?"

"Okay."

Zhuo Ran said: "Shall I play a song for you? What song do you like to listen to? Do you like Long Qingquan's?"

"There is an episode of Dream of Red Mansions. I saw the score of this song on your desk under the glass."

"Yes!" Zhuo Ran took a tape from the cassette rack and put it into the small tape recorder, pressed the play button, and the music played the episode of A Dream of Red Mansions.

Xiao Ying said, "You like Dream of the Red Chamber, don't you?"

"Yes, I have watched the TV series several times, and I have also read the novels. I like Xue Baochai in it the most, and I don't like Lin Daiyu. She is narrow-minded and gets angry at every turn. But she is pitiful. —— I won't chat with you, next I'm busy. Take your time and listen."

After that, Zhuo Ran turned around and went downstairs again.

After a while, Zhuo Ran's grandmother came in with a plate of fragrant fried snails, and said to Xiao Ying with a smile: "Mr. Try it?"

Xiao Ying quickly stood up, and after thanking him, he took the plate of snails and put them on the table, saying: "There are too many dishes, I can't finish them all."

"Not too much, not too much, eat slowly, don't rush. Zhuo Ran has to work outside for two hours before he has time to come in and do his homework, so eat slowly."

After Grandma Tian left, Xiao Ying drank wine and ate vegetables leisurely, listening to the beautiful singing from the radio, thinking about his future fortune-telling and medical treatment.

After listening to a cassette, Xiao Ying found another set of songs by Taiwanese singer Qi Qin from the cassette shelf and put it into the tape recorder.Qi Qin's songs were popular in China in the 90s, and Xiao Ying liked them very much, especially the song "About Winter".After drinking a little wine, I became more interested, and hummed again.

Just after singing a few lines, Zhuo Ran's voice came from behind: "Big brother's singing is not bad, it's a heavenly king!"

Xiao Ying turned around and smiled, and said, "Just laugh at me."

Zhuo Ran brought in a small pot of tomato and egg soup and put it on the table, Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't order any soup!"

"This is for you. ——All the dishes tonight are free, my mother said. Just now my mother called and heard grandma say that you are eating here, so she told grandma that you can't charge money tonight. Repay your kindness."

"How can you not charge money? You open a shop to do business, if you don't charge money, you will lose money? No, no, no, I will accept the snails you send, and I have already expressed my good intentions. I still have to pay for the rest. Is it okay for you to open a shop? If you take money, you don’t take money, and I’m embarrassed to keep doing this in the future.”

Zhuo Ran chuckled and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll give you free today, and if you want to eat tomorrow, you'll get it, and you won't lose a penny."

Xiao Ying smiled: "That's about the same. However, I might not be able to afford every meal like this. We always use spoons to make food at school, and two spoonfuls of food and four meals are enough to get rid of it."

"That's no problem. We have fast food for delivery. It's like what you said. It's enough to pack two spoonfuls of food per meal in a fast food box. You can bring your lunch box and give it to you according to your taste. Meals are very cheap. Meat and vegetables are absolutely hygienic, don't worry."

Xiao Ying looked at Zhuo Ran approvingly and said: "You are very business-minded, not bad. Then it's settled, I will pay you food expenses every month, how much will I pay?"

"You can pay as much as you want in school for a month, and I will provide you with meals according to your school's standards."

"At school, I pay 60 yuan a month for food expenses. In the morning, steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, porridge and so on. At noon and evening, I have four taels of rice, a spoonful of meat dishes and a spoonful of vegetarian dishes."

"That's good, then convert it to the sky according to this standard. Two yuan a day, - [-] cents for breakfast, [-] cents for lunch and dinner. I will keep the bill for you. Sometimes you may have to eat out, so I can't charge you How much money do you eat? How about a unified settlement at the end of the month?"

Xiao Ying nodded again and said: "This method is very good, let's do it this way, and then I will trouble you."

"What's the trouble? To tell you the truth, based on your standards, we still have to make money. It's also convenient for you, and we can make money. It's a win-win situation."

"The little girl has a set."

"Don't call me little girl, I'm 15 years old this year."

"Okay, Zhuo Ran, thank you for solving the food problem for me. —By the way, you just said that your mother called. Do you have a phone at home?"

"Yes, the public phone is on the table under the window of the pergola outside."

Xiao Ying was very happy, and quickly said: "It's great to have a phone. My company is still worrying about having no phone for business development. I will use your phone as our company phone first. Of course, I have to pay for calling, and I don't need to answer the phone." money?"

"No money, I will call you if I have a call. Grandma will call you when I am away. By the way, big brother, what is the name of your company? What do you do?"

"Intractable Disease Consulting Company, which specializes in helping misdiagnosed patients like your father guide the maze, tell them what the real cause is, and help them choose the right hospital and doctor. Then charge a certain consultation fee."

Zhuo Ran was surprised all of a sudden, and said, "I heard from my grandma that you calculated my father's illness based on his name. Could it be that you really know fortune-telling?"

"Uh, this involves industry secrets, so I can't tell you. But I can tell you that I mainly use my medical knowledge and information from hospitals across the country to provide them with consultation and help."

"Oh, it's good if you don't count your fortunes.—The fortune tellers on the street are all liars, which is annoying. I often hear people come to quarrel with them, saying that they have been cheated of money, that their calculations are inaccurate, and some of them help It's a waste of time."

"That's right, fortune-telling is all about deceiving people. Go and do your work. I'll eat later."

"Okay, big brother, eat slowly, don't worry."

Seeing that his wine glass was empty, Zhuo Ran poured him another glass, then turned around and went downstairs.

Xiao Ying listened to the song and drank wine, eating this dish was very satisfying.

He ate this meal for more than an hour, mainly because he had been thinking about what to do next in his head. At the same time, he searched some keywords related to this city in the national hospital medical record database in his mind, and found out Some cases, see if there is anything I can help point out.

After eating, he turned off the electric fan and the tape recorder, slightly drunk, and walked downstairs with the help of the stairs.

The business below is still booming. After all, on a sultry summer night, many people are not used to going to bed early, and come out to eat supper and drink cold beer, especially the seats in the pergola outside are basically full.

Seeing Xiao Ying coming down, Zhuo Ran hurried up to meet him and said, "Brother, have you finished eating? I'm sorry, there are too many people down there so I didn't go up to greet you, how is it? The food is not bad!"

"Very good, you're welcome, I'm already full and ready to go back to school. I'll bring my bedding here tomorrow morning, and I'll make my home in the company from now on."

"Okay, I'll clean up that shop for you tomorrow morning. What do you think is missing? I'll prepare it for you."

"Okay. We'll see when the time comes. I'm leaving—do you really not have to pay?"

Zhuo Ran tilted his head and said with a smile: "It's really not necessary. My mother said that this meal is to reward you. By the way, are you drunk? Are you okay on the road?"

"I won't get drunk with this little wine, don't worry." Xiao Ying waved his hand and stepped out of the snack shop.
