Chapter 91: Reducing the Loss of the Hospital(1/2)
Mo Xiao slept until dawn, and was awakened by a pleasant scent of porridge.
"Well, what kind of porridge is so delicious, please give it to me to try it."
Mo Xiao opened his eyes and lifted the quilt. He put on his shoes while shouting at the licorice that was stirring a pot of porridge beside the Arhat's bed.
Licorice burst into laughter, "This Chonglou is really accurate. He said he doesn't need to call you. Just carry this pot of porridge in your room and you will get up when you smell the aroma of porridge."
Mo Xiao put on his shoes, ran over with an arrow, lay on Licorice's shoulder and looked into the pot. However, Licorice hid his palms on the surface of the pot, smiled sly at Mo Xiao, and said, "Why might as well guess what's inside first?"
Mo Xiao reached out and knocked on Licorice's forehead, "I'm naughty, I want to get your lady exam."
No matter how she said that, she still smelled it with her eyes closed, searching for the scent of the fragrance and slowly sucked the air into her nasal cavity. All the olfactory cells on the three nasal turbines opened together, like grass that had withered for a season and welcomed the nourishment of the spring rain.
Breathing gradually becomes darker, and the fragrance slowly penetrates into every cell.
Food is delicious food. Before it has been imported, it has already stirred up all your appetite from the fragrance.
Mo Xiao said: "There are three kinds of rice and five kinds of medicinal materials inside. Three meters are millet, wheat, brown rice, and medicinal materials are yam, walnut kernels, red dates, longans, and peanuts."
After saying that, she saw that Licorice was already big and was about to speak, and interrupted her first, "I know you must say that the lady guessed it. Hehehe, there are two more flavors, which are the sweet wine and sesame dumplings that Li Mama has made, right?"
The licorice mouth continued to expand until it became a circle. Then, after three times, he said, "Miss, you are so amazing, are there little fairies hidden in your nose? Why do you smell the sesame dumplings?
There was indeed a CT machine worth tens of millions in her eyes, but her nose was definitely genuine, and she didn't have any stuff or hide her fairy daughter.
Mo Xiao reached out and scraped the nose of licorice, "I couldn't guess the sesame dumplings. You must have broken one by one by accident. If you don't believe me, please see."
Licorice let go of her hand and saw that it was not the case. The dumplings made by Chonglou were thin and filling. It turned out that she accidentally broke one when she was stirring just now. She didn't know the one she stirred, but the lady smelled it with her nose.
"I couldn't smell it, but you let it go." Mo Xiao was in a good mood and pulled the small pot of porridge from the front of licorice to himself.
"Have you eaten so much, why don't you eat another bowl and eat it together?"
Licorice swallowed a saliva and shook her head, "I want to eat it too, but Mother Li made scallion oil pancakes early on. I ate two large pieces. Now I can't eat them even if I want to."
After saying that, Licorice seemed to feel even more greedy. She sat down next to the small table, pouting her mouth and feeling very sad. "I think Chonglou did it on purpose. I only brought the dumplings and porridge when I was full."
"So, is this pot of porridge really made from Chonglou?"
Mo Xiao was wondering why Li's mother's craftsmanship suddenly became more refined. It turned out that it was made by the guy Chonglou.
She didn't expect that he was an amateur who knew nothing about traditional Chinese medicine. The ingredients of this bowl of porridge were well matched. Sanmi and yam nourish the spleen and stomach, walnuts nourish the brain, red dates nourish blood, peanuts, longan nourish the spirit and heart, and wine brewed dumplings to promote blood circulation and warm the stomach, which is really suitable for her who stayed overnight.
Thinking about the past in that world, every time she finished her night shift, she didn't dare to look in the mirror when she was washing in the morning. After work, she could only go to the soy milk and fried dough stick shop next to the hospital for a two-dollar breakfast. After only half a year, her face turned from a delicate flower to a yellow flower of yesterday.
Looking at the small pot of fragrant porridge in front of him, Mo Xiao suddenly felt as warm as this porridge.
The dumplings are not big or small, just one bite at a time. Mo Xiao picked up a dumpling and put them in his mouth. The skin was smooth and soft, and melted in his mouth. The sweet sesame filling flowed into the mouth. The taste buds on his tongue were awakened and all of them trembled.
It was really delicious. She couldn't find any words to describe. She ate two in a row and took another sip of porridge. She only felt comfortable and brisk in her whole body, and she wanted to dance.
Some people say that food can change your mood. Mo Xiao seems to be more than just changing your mood. He just wishes he could agree to it.
No wonder many girls want to marry chefs. If the label of food is placed on a man, Mo Xiao’s opinion is indeed more attractive than his own appearance.
In case this man can not only cook delicious food, but also have a high appearance.
Haha, don’t laugh and laugh. In that world, even if you don’t have money, there will probably be a lot of girls queuing up to ask for it.
pity……
Mo Xiao was a little sad, but unfortunately she would never be interested in men who were younger than her.
Besides, the people who made this pot of dumpling porridge in Chonglou did not come to please her, but to meet the conditions for raising wages she said. It would be better to have multiple jobs to have a high salary.
Not to mention, he really worked hard to make this pot of dumplings, not only does it require ingenuity, but also a troublesome process.
Just talking about this dumpling, it will take half a day to grind the sesame stuffing so fine and soft. First, the sesame seeds are crispy, then grind the fine powder, and add a little lard when mixing into the filling.
Then the skin of the dumplings is also good. The ratio of sticky rice and glutinous rice is just right, which is a bit different from the ratio of Li’s mother. So it was also newly polished in the morning.
After eating the whole pot of glutinous rice dumplings, she sighed sincerely.
It's really delicious and has no friends!
She suddenly felt lucky that licorice was full, haha, otherwise, it would probably be a scene where the two of them scrambled for it now.
However, Mo Xiao thought again that after dealing with Boss Zhou's injuries, Chonglou had not yet slept when she was about to go back to the inner courtyard for rest. However, before she got up, Chonglou had already cooked the pot of dumplings. So, did he basically never slept?
She raised her eyebrows, yes, for this dedicated heart, okay, process money at the end of the month.
Mo Xiao finished eating the porridge, washed it briefly and went to the front hall.
When I went to the front hall, I saw that the patients were already lined up, and they were holding a number plate with one, two, three, four, and five.
Chonglou was serving tea and water to the patients, and also sent candy to the young patients. Although everyone was waiting in line, everyone was smiling.
Seeing Mo Xiao come out, Chonglou signaled that the patient in the front could sit at the clinic table.
When Mo Xiao sat down, he glanced at the fragrant seal bell on the counter. It was almost time for Chen Shi to pass. The shopkeeper must have signaled Licorice not to wake her up. Thinking of this, she glanced at Uncle Liu who was carefully planning the accounts behind the counter, and glanced at Chonglou, who was warmly entertaining the patients. One was sincerely looking for her from the bottom of her heart, while the other was just working enthusiastically for the increase of wages.
There is still a difference, why was she easily moved by that bowl of porridge?
Don’t laugh, don’t laugh, don’t jump into the pit by yourself.
She silently warned herself.

Junsheng woke up until he was about to have lunch, and when he woke up, he ran to the inner yard.
"Sister Mo, Sister Mo, I want to eat with you."
The licorice had just been set up with three pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Before the rice started to be eaten, the free meal came and shouted.
Mo Xiao smiled as soon as he saw Junsheng, "Little lazy pig, you are awake."
He said to Licorice again, "Go and bring a lot of sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Licorice blamed Junsheng, "It's not only a lazy pig, but also a follower pig. The food in the outer courtyard is not bad, but he insists on going to the inner courtyard. I tell you, don't bother my lady after dinner. Your sister Mo wants to sleep. If the lady is tired again, I can't spare you."
Licorice took the female yaksha out of her posture, glared at Junsheng fiercely before walking out.
Junsheng sat next to Mo Xiao, tilted his head and asked, "Sister Mo, were you so tired yesterday? I heard from Manager Liu that I promised to leave after dinner later and would never disturb my sister's lunch break."
Mo Xiao touched his little face, "It's not that exaggerating. I just turned around and was too anxious to stand firm. However, I really want a lunch break later. You go to the outer yard to play with Brother Chonglou or Little Fatty."
Junsheng nodded, "Little fat brother is not fun. I play with Brother Chonglou. He can make tricks and tell stories. Brother Chonglou's tricks are amazing. He also said that if I am good, I will teach me. Hehe, when I learn it, I will change it to Sister Mo."
"Oh, Chonglou has also made magic tricks to show you. Why don't I know when the incident happened?" Mo Xiao was not surprised. When Chonglou and Junsheng were so good.
"Just just now!" Junsheng tilted his head, "Actually, I woke up for a long time. Brother Chonglou said not to disturb my sister's work. I didn't come out of the room, and then he used tricks to coax me."
So that's it. It seems that he has also worked as a part-time job in the nanny. Mo Xiao thought to himself that if he does this, his salary will be higher than that of her, a real lady. If this continues, it won't work. One by one, it will be more part-time jobs, and maybe most of the clinics will become him in the end.
It seems that she has to have a good chat with him. Her eyes turned, otherwise she would have changed the amount of compensation based on the item to the time basis. A person's time is limited, so she can't get longer and longer.
As long as you increase your monthly salary a little bit as bait, you won’t be fooled if you don’t believe it. Then you will give a new explanation of the scope of his servitude work, such as the so-called servitude means at least including chefs, coachmen, bodyguards, nannies, gardeners, etc. As long as the lady needs to use it, you will be able to get it.
Thinking that this could successfully squeeze out all the surplus value of Chonglou, Mo Xiao suddenly felt that Zhou Ba, a celebrity who was getting closer to the exploiting class, was so angry that he could not help but give a thumbs up for himself.
Haha, it’s better to do evil things, especially the guy who exploits Chonglou.
"Miss, what did you think of? Why did you laugh so happily? Could it be that you think of some handsome young master?"
When Licorice brought the bowls and chopsticks, she saw her lady smiling brightly with a bright smile, with a delicate and shameful look. She was really more beautiful than the flower.
"There is no handsome young man." Mo Xiao tilted his head and laughed, "I just thought about how to save money, of course I am happy."
"Ah, it turns out to be a savings. The lady hasn't lost her hobby yet."
Licorice whipped in disappointment. She thought she thought of Mr. Li when she saw the lady's appearance. Alas, it seems that in the lady's eyes, silver is indeed more reliable than her husband. It is probably a thorny road to convince the lady to marry.
After Junsheng finished his meal, he went to the outer yard to look for Chonglou. Mo Xiao lay on the bed and took a beautiful nap with his pillow in his arms.
After waking up, I felt refreshed, and Mo Xiao stretched.
"Licorice, when is it now?"
"Miss woke up early today and there were still two quarters of a minute left after leaving the clinic. Wash your face first, clean your hands, and then peel a loquat for the lady. The loquat is so fresh. It was sent by Grandma Li, whom the lady had seen the clinic before, who sent her grandson."
Licorice had already put the wash water aside, and now she was picking up a loquat in her hand and peeling it.
Mo Xiao washed his face and looked over. There were several on the plate, one by one, like a few little yellow ducks that had just emerged from the shell.
I saw licorice pinching one on the left palm and gently peeling the peel with both fingers of the right hand. The ripe loquat skin on the tree is particularly easy to peel. One of the licorice has been peeled in a few strokes, and the flesh is not damaged at all.
She broke the fruit along the middle, and the fruit was divided into two halves, and then she finely removed the seed core and endothelium, and then put it in Mo Xiao's mouth.
"Miss, do you want to try it? Is the ones ripe on this tree much more delicious?"
"Yeah, it's so sweet."
Mo Xiao has just come to this world, and it is spring. There are not many ripe fruits in spring. I used to eat some unknown small fruits in the wild. In short, this loquat is the first fruit she has eaten that was officially put on the table. A real pure green organic fruit, and it would be strange if it is picked from the tree that is ripe and picked. It would be strange if it is not delicious. It is not only delicious, but also tastes good.
"Well, you peel a few more, soak them in light salt water and soak them in the well. Let everyone eat them together before the clinic is opened."
"Well, okay. There is still a basket in the kitchen that can help you fill it. I will peel two of them first and take them to eat for Junsheng and Chonglou. When I passed by the outer yard just now, I heard Chonglou playing with Junsheng. Junsheng laughed loudly, and it was time to be thirsty."
When Licorice mentioned Chonglou Mo Xiao suddenly remembered, "Hey, it's wrong. Chonglou went to save Boss Zhou with her yesterday, and after she came back, she was busy outside the country. When she returned to the inner yard to sleep, Chonglou hadn't even slept yet. In addition, she made dumplings for her in the morning and played with Junsheng at noon.
Then, from yesterday to now, Chonglou has basically never slept.
"I just happened to go out. Let's help you get these two peeled ones for them first." Mo Xiao took a piece of white paper from the desk and wrapped the two newly peeled loquats of licorice and ran out.
